Taking leave OF his friends he
came over to London, found Mr..

friend Of that gentleman that he
undertook personally to look after

Mr. B looked pensive, but
told Il not to despair. elf

to be slippery fellow, there's a

Animas came, q sallow little Gas

of course, and said that anyhow
he was totally insolvent-couldn't

"Exactly," said Mr.. B
"Your debts amount to 100000

4 FIRSF~GLASS FISH STORY.
THE STRANGE ADVENTURES OF A
coNFEDERATE DISPATCH BOX.

PARIS, July S.-A young South
erner here has, for some months,
been enjoying himself in the most
liberal but rational manner, and
is, perhaps the happiest man in
France. Good looking, educated,
rich, he has fortune at the crest
of the wave, and keeps her there.
1t has just begun to leak out how
this happy youth came into his es-
tate. and if the facts be as sta
ted, I think you will agree with
me that never cid "6sherman's
luck" better deserve to be large
" celebrated than in his case
/ do not get the story from his
own lips, though l am slightly &C
auainted with him, but from an in
simate friend of his who knows all
the circumstances
The young man-his name is )
49, C. Il: is a native OF
South Carolina, where his father
had large possessions in ColIeton'
s. served in the Confederate
army during the last two years OF
the war, though still too young
and when the war was over settled
at Pocotaligo, poor as a church
mouse. His fathers estate was
nearly all gone, and what little
remained he resolved should be re-
ligiously devoted to the needs OF
his mother and sisters, who were
HOW living in Barnwell in a very
poor way. Young H had Ca
pacity and industry, but these
were not sufficient to get him work
in a. State where all things were
prostrate under the negro's g'zzard
foot. He procured some odd jobs
on the railroad, but these soon
failed him, and at last, in despair:
he shipped before the mast IN a
trading schooner that belonged to
Machias, Ne, and made irregular
: voyages between Boston, Beau
fort, S. c., Havana, and a market.
In three or four years he got to DC
mate of the trader; and finally the
owners began TO promise him s
vessel of his own, oae ne~I build
ing, if he would purchase an 'nte
her TO the extent OF 81, ,5OO
His own savingsamounted to near
" half that sum already, and ne
:took q furlough from the schooner
tor the purpose of seeing his mo
+ber and some other friends, in Or
der to try to get a temporary loa'
of the balance needed.
Money, however, was hard t'
get. No one doubted the security
but they did not have the money
- snare. After several futile et
forts young H was about t'
give up the pursait in despair
When his mother bethought ne
of Col. Jacob E., her cousin
still living near Port Royal an'
Athought to be rather better 0'
ban the rest Of the connection e, o,
-H- was very slight!

Miles apd miles away.
Speedips gaily onward
Lik, a child atplay;
Taytng with the leaflets,
s. Crossing meadows green,
2 Dancing through the wheat fields
Gliding DER the stream
Till at length it reaches
Blocks Of brick and stone,
Nothing 10 be daunted,
Still it presses on;
With holy mission,
Hasting to fulfill.
With its might and power,
All its Masters will.
Laughing in the windows,
Lifting ringlets fair,
Peeping in at doors
With rogueish air;
Bringing JOY and blessing
To the weary heart,
To the fainting spirit
Giving a fresh start.
Fevered pulses cooling
With lis light caress;
Dropping hopes renewing
INTO earnestneSS:
Sorrows tears bcguilipg
By its wisdom play.
Whisp'Sng to the dreay
Ola brighter day.
Signing with the mourner,
Singing with the gay,
Chasing clouds and darkness,
Then away, away;
Ever speeding onward,
Never stops 20 rest,
Till the shades Of evening
Gather in the west.
To US an example,
Of what we should be
In our Christian journey,
Earnest, tireless. free;
With q word Of kindness
For the high or low,
Bearing JOY and comfort
WhereSo'er we go.
Never to be weary
While the day shall last:
Working in Gods vineyard
Till the day ,ast;
Ever pressing Onward
With the end in view,
For the rest Of heaven
Waits for me and you.

DESTRUCTION IN DIsGU1sE.-It is a
fact that mixtures of bad liquors and
acid astringents are often given for
medicines. They are potent to deStroy !
and may be safely warranted to ruin,
morally and physically, any human be-
ing that sticks to them long enough.
More drunkarks have been made by
these villainous connections, labeled
medicines, than by the liquors of COM
merce. Alcoholic poisons. advertised
as remedies, are more miscellaneous than
tavern drains. For intermittent and re-
mittent fevers, as well as for all other
diseases which these fiery frauds are
falsely certified to relieve, De. WALKERS
VINEGAR BIrTERs, the ne plus ultra of
vegetable medicines, is a positive cure.
But this is not all the great Temper

the dcpraved appetite for ~stimulants,
created by the false tonics and bogus

q course of VINEGAR BITTERs invariably
obliterates the desire for spirituous eI-

Billy, nothing 10th, slipped off his
stool with a pen behind each ear, and
scampered out into the hall.
So Milly sold another quart.
As she was giving change for the

self came in, bustling and brisk as

Mr.. Radcliffe Gates. Strawberries ?
Well, I don't care if 1 take a few my

Milly pushed back her sun bonnet,
and executed a sweeping courtesy.

WHERE BOYS M4KBLEs COME From.

WHERE BOYS NARBLES COME From.
Not far from Saizburg, Austria, is a
great mountain, which consists OF moth
ing but beautiful marble. The stone
masons cut out blocks and columns of
it, take them to the great city, and
build palaces and fine houses of them.
But what becomes of the little pieces
which are broken Off, and which are so
small that the great people cannot use
them? These are for the children !
Out of them are made the little marble
balls-playing marbles. How this is
done, let me tell you {: From this same
mountain several brooks flow down into
the valley below. Their waters rush
down from one shelf of rock to another,
and form countless little waterfalls. BY
the side of these little falls numerous
small mills have been placed. In each
of these the water drives a little flying
wheel. Underneath the barrel of the
wheel is a round grinding-stone. This
milestone turns in Il stone trough, into
which fresh water is constantly splash
ing. The larger bits of marble are
broken with a hammer into rough. an
gular pieces about as large as walnuts.
No child would care to play with these
stones /; they are sharp-cornered, jagged,
and gray and dusty besides. They are
thrown into the stone m~ill-trough with
water, and the milestone begins to turn.
Now the angular stones have a long,
merry dance they hop and skip and
stumble over one another, and whirl
round and round III a circle they crush
ana beat and crate upon each other all
day and night long. At last they be-
come so small that the millstones IL the
trough takes. NO more hold of them,
and the little mil stands still. Then
the little stones are ready. The mill
stone IS lIf:ed-there they lie, a hun
dged or more, all together, and one Just
as pretty rs another. They are per-
fectlv round all corners and roughness
are gone. The marbles now only need
polishing. Then the child gets them
and plays Ill kinds of games with them.
