A Persian Tale.

There was once Prince, who, being
displeased with one of his mobiles, de-
terniined to punish him. The Prince
commanded that he should be shut up
in high tower Into this tower there
was onl y one entrance, which was wall
ed up immediately after the noblemaD
had been placed there. Thus all hope
of escape seemed to be cut off and the
unhappy man was left to perish Inside
the tower there was a long winding
staircase, by which the prisoner reach
ed the top. While looking down from
there, he observed his wife who had
come, indulging a faint hope that she
might be able. by some means or other,
to aid her hus band in escaping from his
place of confinement. On inquiring if
she could be of any service to him, he
replied: "Oh yes; go and procure a
black beetle, little grease, a skein of
silk, skein of Irvine, and long rope"
The poor wife FASTENED to obtain what
her dear husband asked for, wondering
no doubt at the strangeness of his re-
quest. She soon returned furnished
with the things. Her husband then
directed her to put the grease on the
beetles head, to fasten the silk to its
hind leg, the Irvine to the silk, the rope
to the Irvine, and then place the beetle
on the wall of the tower. On being
set at liberty on the wall, the beetle.
smelling the grease on his head, and
not being ableto discover where it was
crept up the tower in search of it until
it arrived at the top. The nobleman
caught it, and taking the silk from its
hind leg, carefully drew it up. When
he came to the end of the silk he found
the Irvine, and next he came to the
rope. Fastening this to a crook, he let
himself down, and made his escape.

How Rich Men "summer."

It's bad enough to be detained in
the city all summer by pressing work
or by poverty. 1t is much better to be
kept in the same places byriches. Oh
but nobody is confined there by being
too wealthy to leave. Then those YER
acious ehroniclers, the papers, do not
tell the truth. Here is the record they
make as to some Of the richest men of
New York:
Among those who will be much in
town is Commodore Vanderbilt, who
is getting too old to go off summering
He has fine place on Staten Island.
ten miles down the bay, but the old
gentleman shows great dislike to going
thither. Perhaps one reason is the
fact that the family vault is there.
The Commodore has not been down to
Staten Island for several years, except
on funeral occasions, when his daugh-
ter was buried, and also his first wife,
The next trip, no doubt, will be his
own funeral. He loves the world in
tensely, and although his young wife
has induced him to make a large do
nation to "a college, yet it is small
matter to one Of his wealth. The
| Commodore may make short excur-
sion, but nowhere can he find any such
comforts as at home. Astor and Stew
art are but little out of town during
the summer. Astor has farm at Bar
ry-town, on the Hudson River railroad,
and here he was wont to pass part of
the season but he now finds himself
comfortable in his Fifth avenue man
sion. Stewart also lives in the Filth
avenue, having the finest house in
America, and hence, although he has
farm at Tuchahoe, he seldom visits
it. Peter Cooper will also pass the
largest part of the summer in town,
and so will George Law. These men
finding nothing cOngenial in the wild
excitement of a watering place. and
hence prefer a quiet life at home,
james Lennox is one of the few men
of great wealth who spend the summer
out of town. He has owned a villa at
Newport for many years, and has a
tenant family in it all the year round.
During the summer he resorts thither,
generally accompanied by his maiden
sister, and being a bachelor, he thus
takes all his family with him. William
II. Vanderbilt spent a few days at
Sharon, and then returned to apply
himself to business.

How the Grange Pays.
Cincinnati Times.

In the grange with which | am con-
nected. during the past season there
was an actual saving, in one quarter,
of Sl20 to the few farmers who pur-
chased implements. Now take the
10000 oranges and we have total saw
ing of 81, 100000 to the faamers of the
United States in three months. But
you will say at once that this amount
is not saved every quarter, nor by eve
ry grange, nor do [ say it is. Neither
does it cost the amount ID. L. 2. c.
has mentioned to run the oranges eve
ryquarter. The cost Of charters, seals,
regalia, &c, is never imposed on the
grange but once. This would require
a deduction from his figures of over a
million of dollars, after the first quar-
ter.
We not only consider it a paying in
stitution to US on account of its finan-
cial benefits, but We, as a class, have
begun to consider the social influence
Of the organization. We can not deny
that we are far behind the city in re-
gard to social life, for We have never
had the opportunity of mingling to-
gether, and educating ourselves in that
sphere. Thus it has not only proved
itself to be safe for our pockets, but
also a stOrehouSe for our minds.
