selr-peniai-what Came of 1t,

The following interesting account o.
the results of little self,denial is from
the pen of the late Horace Mann:
/ once knew a young man who. on re-
moving from the country to the city, was
introduced to very respectable circle OF
persons, about his own age, who were IN
the habit of meeting periodically for the
nominal purpose, at least, of converse
ton and social improvement. But any
looker-on at their symposia might not
have been deemed uncharitable had he
supposed that the supper, the wine and
the cigars constituted the principal at
traction. He became one of their num-
Der, and for time enjoyed the hilarity
aud shared the expense of the entertain
ments but, being at last rebuked by his
conscience for this mode of spending both
time and money, he quietly withdrew
from the club, though without abandon
ing his intimacy with its members.
Through one of their number he
learned tue average cost of their sup
pers, and taking an equal sum from his
own scantily filled purse, he laid it aside
as fund for charity. AT the end of
single season he found himself in pos
session of hundred dollars, wholly
made up of these sums saved from gen
teel dissipation. This amount he took
to poor but most exemplary family,
consisting of widow and several small
children, all of whom were struggling as
for life, and against series of adverse
circumstances, to maintain show of re-
spectability, and to provide the means OF
attending the public schools. The be-
stowment of this sum upon the disheart
ened mother and the fatherless children,
together with the sympathy and counsel
that accompanied it, seemed to put a new
heart into the bosoms of them all. 1t
proved the turning point in their for
tunes. Some small debts we're paid, the
necessary school books and few articles |
of decent clothing were obtained, the
children sprang forward in their studies,
equalling or outstripping all their COM
petitors, and at the present time they are
all among the most respectable, exem.
plary and useful citizens in the State.

TIE HENS EGG QUESTION Speak
ing of the Massachusetts, law making it
necessary that dozen eggs weigh one
and one-half pounds" Adeler says :
We approve OF this. The hens have
too long had their own way in this bust
ness of laying eggs, and they have con.
stantly dsfrauded the public. 1t is high
time this outrage was crushed, and we
are glad that the Legislature of Massa-
chusetts is going to doit. If free Amer.
lean citizens are to be imposed upon with
impunity by debauched and corrupt
chickens, the government, for which
William Penn fought and John Han

Queen MarY'S Time.

Martial law was proclaimed through
Cornwall and Devonshire, and the glib.
bet did its business freely, although in
the latter country care was taken to dis
tinguish the really guilty. La Cornwall,
if we may believe the legends of the
next generations, Sir Anthony Kingston,
who went as provost marshal, was not SO
scrupulous. A story was told of a mil
Ter who had been out with Arundel, and
expecting iniquity, had persuaded ser.
want to take his place and name.
Are you the miller 2" said Kings
ton, riding one day to his door.
If you please, yes" was the unsus-
pectiDg answer.
Up with him, said the provost mar
shall, he is busy knave; hang him
up" In vain the poor man called out
then that he was no miller, but an inno-
cent servant.
"Thou art false knave, then" said
Anthony, to be in two tales-therefore,
hang him And he was hanged at
once.
The mayor of Bodmin had been
among the first to move; his name was
joined to Arundel's in the rebels arti-
Giles, but his friends had interceded for
him, and he had hoped for pardon.
Kingston visited Bodmin in his progress,
and sent the mayor notice that he would
dine with him. He had man to hang,
too, he said, and stout gallows must be
ready. The dinner was duly eaten, and
the gallows prepared.
Think you" said Kingston, as they
stood gazing at it; "think you it is
strong enough 2"
Yes, sill" quoth the ayor, " it is"
Well, them" said Anthony, Z" gel
thee up, for it is for you"
The mayor, greatly abashed, exclaimed
and protested
Sir" said Kingston, "there is NO
remedy; ye have been busy rebel, and
this is appointed for your reward"
And so, without respite or stay, the
mayor was hanged.-J. A. Froude.

NOT FLED IN VAIN.

Notwithstanding the alleged crime and
flight of Harrison Prindle, the general pub
lie may, perhaps, learn something there
from. We look upon insurance compa-
MES, whether life, fire or marine. as among
the most beneficent institutions of the age,
But to be so, they must be sound, and con-
Quoted on the strictcst business principles
1t is something of a consolation, when we
retire for the night, to feel that if our
dwelling houses or places of business are
destroyed by fire before morning, that they
are insured for, at least, portion Of their
value. When so insured in n sound, rcla-
bic company, the loss is not total, but
there is a basis of money left with which
to commence the erection OF another struc-
ture. What consolation, however, Is
afforded when ones property is insured in
company that is unsound, and has moth
ing whercwith TO pay its losses Such
companies may, and often do, insure
houses and other property for more than
their value, and this fact, instead of eX-
citing suspicion, only makes some the
more eager to obtain policies. There are
sound insurance companies, and property
owners can always ascertain which ones
they are from the names and
characters of their several stockholders,
officers and managers. If people obtain
insurance, they desire, as we have said,
good sound, reliable insurance. Even
those who are deceived by the offer OF large
insurance, expect that their policies will
be paid in case of fire. This flight of
Prindlc may cause searching investiga-
ton into the soundness and reliability of
insurance companies, and a roofing out of
those who are fraud on the public and
engaged in business which is nothing
more or less than stealing of the peoples
money. We say this, because if we may
believe published reports, which come to
us from New York, Prindle has only acted
in reference to the "Peoples company of
Philadelphia as they intended to act to-
ward their policy holders. One report says
tiut liHtilc was lculll lHc ucuu ttHltl VI
the company. AS treasurer he held con-
troll Of the funds-as he still holds them
lie was the founder of the company,
etc, etc. A dispatch from Philadelphia
which we published in full yesterday,
among other things, states that ''thc state
commissioner Of insurance last week dis
covered fraudulent transactions in the man
agement of the company, and Immediately
directed the attorney general to commence
legal proceedings to close up the company,
and notified the insurance officials of other
states OF the fact Prindlc the defaulting
manager, learned this, and gathered up all
available assets and fled to parts un-
known" Now if the public will bear
these facts in mind see to it that they are
only insured in sound companies COM
panies that can and will pay their losses in
spite of defalcations, and aid in roofing out
these fraudulent, rotten concerns, then
Prlndlc will not have fled in vain.
