DISCOVERED MERIT.-A wealthy gen
tleman while passing through an obscure
street in Il large city, saw II fine but very
dilapidated picture in brokers' shop.
He purchased it and inquired the paint
er's name, but was unable TO discover
more than the initials. Confident that
the picture-a seaside view with "A rocky
shore-was modern, he was anxious to
discover the painter. In vain he tried all
the picture dealers. They knew the style
and the initials, but were unacquaiuted
with the man. They were confident that
the painter was alive, but knew nothing
of his home or haunts' The gentleman,
piqued at being so bakec, determined to
find the painter and at last, in despair,
applied to skilled detective. The latter
knew nothing about art or artist, but he
undertook to find the man. And find him
he did, after some trouble in the midst OF
the direst poverty, living in dirty little
court. The discovery Of the artist was tho
turning point in his fortunes. The gem
tleman became his partner and he finally
arose to wealth and station. Humble
worker, take courage from this incident,
and persevere.

force of will possible. until the accumu-

there is something greater to cough a

with half the coughing. A great deal Of
hacking, and hemming, and coughing in
invaids is purely nervous, or the result
of mere habit, as is shown by the fire.

JoHNNY's ESSAY ON THE "ToDE."-
Todes is much like the frog, but more
dignity, and when you come TO think Of
it, frogs is wetter. The warts which todes

cronick, but if | couldn't get well, Ide
stay in the house. My grandfather knew
a tode wieh somebody had tanned til it

MORE BIG TREEs.-There is said to be
q grove of colossal redwood trees on the
upper San Lorenzo, little stream that
rises in the Coast Range, San Msteo
county, and empties into the Bay Of Mon
terey. One OF them, according to the
statement Of DR., SAKE, made to the Cali
fornia Academy Of Sciences, eelipses all
that have been discovered on the Pacific
Coast. Its circumference, as high as a
man can reach, standing anc passing a
tape line around it, is a few inches less
than $50 feet. This is beyond the meas
urement Of any tree in the Calaveras
grove. The hight is estimated at 100
fee, and part of the top lying on the
ground is over 100 feet in length. The
other trees in the vicinity are not as large
but all are Of immense girth.
1t may be considered strange that these
great trees SO close to population were
not discovered long ago; yet the
information comes in an authentic shape.

A BALTIMORE MIsER. - Baltimore is
called upon to mourn the death of an ell
derly miser who, in his journey through
this world, had spent little else than his
life. A short time before his death he
informed friend that he had never given
away a cent nor spent one when the ex-
penditure could possibly be avoided
-Four years ago he married third wife,
and though she was young, and he was
in his dotage, he had entire ascendency
over her, compelling her to work in n
factory and turn over her wages to him.
He assumed the whole responsibility OF
the household, and under his penurious
management, nothing went to waste
Some six years ago he purchased cheap
pine coffin, and stored it in his tenement,
biding patiently the day when he should
need it for his final wrap.
Shortly before his death he told his
wife that his funeral expenses must not
exceed ten dollars, and to that end he di-
rected that his body be carried on the
shoulders of men instead of in hearse.-
Learning, however, that the mode of con
veyance would cost at least twelve dol
lars, he decided upon the employment o
an express wagon, which could be haC
for the purpose for about five dollars
Finding that n barber's tariff twas some
thing more for shaving corpse than hi
charge for the service to sick man, b,
sent, on the night before his death, fo
one of the razor craft, who Idid the worl
to the old gentleman's satisfaction. Tn,
widow was mindful Of her deceased lord I
injunctions, and the total expenses of thI
funeral were just eight dollars and seven
ty-fve cents. The miser left property tc
the value of thirty thonsand dollars, the
result of pinching himself and family
through long series of years. BY hi.
will it was divided between his wife anC
a son by former marriage.

In silence mighty things are wrought,
Silently builded thought on thought;
Truths temples greet the sky.
And like citadel with towers,
The soul with her subservient powers,
Is strengthened silently.
Soundless as chariots on the snow,
The saplings of the forest grow
To trees of mighty girth.
Each mighty star in the silence burns,
And every day in silence turns
The axle of the earth.
The silent frost with mighty hands,
Fetters the rivers OF the land
With universal chain.
And, smitten by the silent sun,
The chain is loosed, the rivers run,
The lands are free again.

Bret Harte's new novel, "Gabriel
ConDy," which is ut last completed,
and carefully guarded in the publishers
safe, calls forth the highest anticip,-
tons in literary circles. 1t will be
begun as serial in the November
number of Scribner's Magazine, with
out illustrations, for it is said to be
graphic beyond need of them, and full
of incident. The story takes its title
Gabriel Conroy," from its hero, n
simple, goOd-hcarted, honest old miner,
of type somewhat different from that
of his illustriOus predecessors in Mr..
Harte's writings. Several familiar
friends, nevertheless, renew old ac-
quaintance, among them Colonel Star
bottle. The story is wholly in Mr..
Harte's original field, and issaid to full
fill, as a novel, tie promise of his best
tales. The opening is pronounced, by
critics who have had access to the man
uscript, to be very powerful; it is a ter
rlble picture of Al starving camp, and
from this start the story is said to hold
the reader with an almost uncOmforta-
bic grip, seeing that he has TO wait
month by month.-NcO York Tribune
