Looking Out for the Worst.

Whatever may be thought by the "bears in Wall street, several foreign princes arc putting their trust Ill lands, tenements, bonds, and stocks of differ ent cities and corporations in the United States. Several of the most ex- pcnsive buildings in Broadway are owned by tho OK Empress Eugenie, who derives from them an annual rent of $62, 2,O00. The Duke of Nassau, one of the disposSessed German princes of 1866, was here in 1868. He had bills of ex- change to the amount of S1,500, coo. He purchased tenements in Allen street that to-day are nominally owned by Ger man lawyers or notaries public, and that yield him twelve per cent. on the capi- tai invested. The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-S -Schwcrin, Frederick Fran cis the Second, is the owner of lots and houses in Elm street, and Queen Vic toria owns considerable real estate in Broadway. It stands in the name of an Englishman. The king of Sweden owns $500, coo worth of real estate ill New York, and the Grand Duke Alexis owns a hotel i'll Broadway. King Bomba bought six houses in Greenwich street in 1852, and they arc held by Italians for his son, Francis II.

'His mother was as delighted as he expected, and that is saying good deal.
 "Ob, sir, she said to me, he's been a good son since his father died. Every morning, summer or winter, he's up and makes the fire while I'm dressing, and while I get breakfast he brings up all the coal for the day, so I won't have to go into the cellar; and every step he can save me he does. But how ho ever made all the money to buy machine out of school hours, cannot under stand
 "' got dollar and half a week, mother, for errands, and twenty or thirty cents extra when there was snow to clean off the sidewalk, or any other job, and MT. Weston gave me twenty dollars.
 "No, you earned that as well as tho rest, said, and his mother fairly broke down and cried when told her about the roll of money.
 "So, Lucy, now you know what pleased lle so much to-day. Tomorrow Harry becomes my errand boy, and l know he will be a faithful ono. There is the making of noble man, Johnny, ill the boy who can work steadily and faithfully for such an object es Harry had, never taking one cent from his hard earned money for his own pleas ure, never failing in his self-imposed duties. Harry is boy only twelve years old, but honor him.
 ''But, papa," said Lucy, "you are rich. why didn't you give his mother machine z"
 "Because the pleasure would not have been so great to either Harry or his mother. Think how proud she will he of her good son every time she touches her machine, and how glad she will feel that he persevered so well when ever she sees it. It is a little sunbeam in the dull routine of business for both them, as for me-"
 "Any mother would be proud of such son." said Mrs. Weston, gently, "and when he has holiday you must let him spend it here. We will be glad to see him, will we not, children2"
 There was very hearty "yes ma am" !" and then the brother and sister, thank ing their father for the story, opened their school books, and went busiIy to their duty for the evening, Johnny won dering & little if he could have the self denial, industry and patience of Harry Cummings.

A Lovers Advice.

There was a large excursion party in Detroit, the Free Press says. and about noon three or four couples entered a confectionery store and made pur- chases. One girl didn't want candy, and so her lover invested in ten cents worth of dates-a fruit neither bad ever eaten before-and he gave her the largest half. As they stood at the door, eating away, she camo to one of the seeds or pits, dropped it into her hand and looked at him, and then tossed it back into her mouth and closed her teeth upon it. She bit and chewed and bit, and was red in the face from her exertions when her lover looked up, realized the situation, and called out
 "What on earth are you driving at When ye come to seeds ye must staud on yer toes and swallow 'em hull, and if she goes down hard, I'm here to pat ye on the back"

Will Not Yield.

The New York Sun has the following: We have received several letters request ing us to employ whatever influence we may possess with Gov. Tilden ill the direction of getting him married. We respectfully decline. Not that we have any doubt that his felicity, and even bis public usefulness, would be much increased in the married state; but love and wedlock are strictly private affairs, and must not be mixed up with tho sterner interests of government. For the benefit of the many ladies who are beginning to look upon our great philo- sophical statesman with that feeling ot tenderness and of personal aspiration which woman 80 naturally cherishes fora great man, we add also the sugges- ton that such hopes are likely to bo fruitless. Tho governor isan old stager, has long lived life of celibacy, and has doubtless resisted innumerable attacks from beaming eyes and smiling lips, and we have no notion that we will SUI render at this stage of the battle. If he obdurately prefers to remain bachelor, let us pay the tribute of regret to his resolution, but not seek to oveIc >me the purpose of d. dstermired md ob- Stinate man.

He'd Suffered Enough.

Capt. Bob Shaftoe concluded to run for Congress. He had been ill the wars he had fought and bled-and his rec ord as q soldier was of the very best. Of course, having consented to run, he had to take the stump. Bob could be eloquent upon occasion, espe clally when picturing battles scenes; and he ln- dulged rather freely ill this style, for be knew more about war than he did about politics. His opponent was politician, and not soldier.
 One day Bob addressed an assembled multitude in front of cross-road grocery. He told the story of his hard ships in the field eloquently and touch ingly. He told how he had led forlorn hope; how ho had been stricken down under the very muzzle of the enemy's battery and how he had lain two nights and one day suffering where he fell be- fore succor came. And other things he told ueqally as thrilling.
 When he had concluded, one of the sovereigns approached him with sym pathy in every look.
 "Cap'n Bob, was all that true you told us2"
 "True as gospel, my friend"
 "And you railly fit right up to the mouth of the enemy's cannon3"
 "Yes."
 "And got knocked overG"
 "Yes."
 "And come nigh dyina-two whole nights in misery9"
 "Yes, my friend, it is all true as l have told you. was wounded four tim after that9"
 "Well," said the interrogator, with visible emotion. "I'm blamed if you haint suffered enough for tho country. I don't see why we should send you out among them Congress fellows. They're @ hard lot. T'other mau is younger n you, and aint of much account any way. say, let him suffer awhile; so guess I'll vote for him l"

Fleeting Joys.

Time goes in for funny freaks,
 Mans toy he likes to play with Notice how he lines our cheeks,
 Mark what glee he makes us gray with. Pleasure comes to soothe our hearts; Often, like the rose, tis prickly; Soon it's radiance departs
 Happy moments vanish quickly supposing you by fate's decree
 Love girl and long to greet her, Don't the minutes seem to be
 Leadeh-winged until you meet her? When the hour arrives at last,
 And all care away you banish, Then tho tyrant travels fast
 Happy moments quickly vanish Here upon this earthly ball
 Joy awhile will mako us gayer, But when sorrow gives call
 Oftentimes she proves stayer." Hope, thou swiftly glidest on
 Fragrant arc the flowers thou pickest; Soon, alas their bloom is gone Happy moments fly the quickest Mover mind, we needn't groan;
 Teardrops showerlike, refresh us; After all, we re bound to own
 Joy is like sweetheart-precious. Cast away regrets and sighs,
 Though our cares beset us thickly, Happy moments let US prize,
 Even though they vanish quickly!

No Juggernaut.

An East India paper says: For the first time iI couple of centuries the Juggernaut car at Mahesh, noar Seram- pore, was prevented from being dragged along the streets, in consequence of some fears that were entertained by the local authorities in regard to the suffi- ciency of the arrangements made for preventing accidents. Considering that these authorities are now held responsi, ble for all accidents, it is obvious that some discretion must be allowed tothem in the exercise of their authority.

Cnlored Orphan Asylum. .

At Zion Church on Ninth street yes
terday, about hundred citizens gath
cred to discuss plans for the relief of the
colored Orphan Asylum at AVondale,
which at present is in an embarrassed
condition financially. To fully relieve
the institution from all its debts Is not
hoped for for some time to come, but
there is one of nearly $1,000 which will
nave to be looked to soon.
The President of the meeting, Jesse
Collins, ESQ, said that the Asylum had
thirty-tWo years OF its existence as ii
was at the present time. DR.. Craig ar
gued from a more cheerful standpoint,
say ing that various legaoies had been
bequealhed to the Asylum, and gen
tleman present had ineu. ed his life fol
it's benefit.
Mr.. Fountain Lewis thought it best tc
have financial statement made to see
whether the assets OF the institution eX-
ceeded It's liabilities.
Rev. George Williams thought that il
the thousands Of church-goers among
the six or seven colored congregations
of the city would give 25 or so cents pei
month towards the Asylum's relief, il
would not be 80 gigantic a task to tide
over the trouble.
After various other addresses on the
subject, O resolution was finally passe,
TO hold next Thursday week mass
meeting Of color0d citizens to cooperate
with the pastors of the different coloret
churches In deciding upon some genera
plan for the reliet OF the Asylum.
