Bringing Bad Luck.

Can there be such q thing MS i'll luck
in any buildiugi asks correspondent.
Some persons who take the affirmative
poiut to the grand warehouse in Broad
way, New York, once occupied by O.
". L J. T. Moore & Co., dry goods
iobbers. This house made money until
they took this stand, and then they soon
failed in hopeless manner. The next
tenants were Lathrop e Ludlington,
who had also reached wealth in
tho same tru,lr. They also failed, and
their families arc now living almost in
lestitution. Prior to this the spot bad
been occupied by the Broadway Thea
ter, and there was so such iniqulty per-
pertrated there that, as some think, it
left curse which must for while rest
on tho property. Old Stephen Whitney,
who was in his day the largest owner OF
real estate in the First ward, firmly be-
lieyod in luck rs connected with bust
ness localities. I an not convert to
this opinion, but would say that the
question is open, and any OF our readers
can tcst it by hiring tho Leup mansion
on Madison square, which has been
termed m unlucky house. The first
occupant was its builder, Cbas. NJ. Lenp,
onco rich leather merchant in tho
swamp. He had tho fuest gallery Of
pictures at that time in New York city,
and lived in grand style but his splen-
did career came to q sudden end by sui.
eide. The next occupant was tho Ro-
maids family. They were very stylish,
and Mrs. Ronalds was m admired singer,
whose receptions wcro noted for fine
musical entertainments. It was not
long, however, before shadow fell upon
tho house. The family was broken up,
tho husband and wife parted aud arc no
more known in society. The Athen@um
club then took possession. This iastitu-
ton contained number OF litterateurs
aud some men OF marked talent; but it
did not succeed. The members fell to
Glisngreements and some were sued for
their share in tho debts, and 80 the whole
concern went to ruin. An ambitious
merchant next took the hougc. His
name was Barreda, and ho was n
Peruvian who by importing guano had
got rich. His wealth, however, soon
took wings and he was obliged to seek
IN humber abode. The Leap mansion
is again in the market at low rent.

A Monster Fruit Farm.

12,5O0 almond trees three years old, also

fruits he has large orchard. Ho has q
warm, sheltered nook in n canyon in the

lemon trees, which will be planted the
coming season. Mr.. Cooper will go to
Sicily this fall and procure tho pure and
unadulterated Sicily lemons, tho best

My Heart Is Thine.

When springs first violet on tho gale
Hoe tender perfume filings;
Whom. deep in some sequestored vAlO,
Tho thrush his love tale sings:
When all bright things OF Garth and sky
In hymns OF praise combine.
Ono song, ono prayer, alone brOaths I:
"Swcot love, wilt thou be minc 2"
When from tho woodland stilI and lone,
Through the lonG summer night
Sad PhilomeI'u impassioued tono
Thrills with loves deep delight;
When, stepped in balmIost breath OF June,
The earth seems half divine,
No change know III words or tuno,
Du! sing: wi'tthou be miue2"
Whom autumn's rod and Autumn's gold,
Paint wood and void and Hill;
When winter nights grow drcAr and cold,
Love, I am change!ess still.
Though violots withor, roses fade,
Love's calendar aud mino
Mark summer still In sun and shade,
And still my heart Is thine

The Prince in India.

Although none Of the darker appre
tensions which were suggested rs
possible result of tho Princes visit to
India have rs yet been realized, it is
tolerably evident that the expedition
has been, on the whole, mistake, and
certainly not worth the trouble, risk
and expense which it involves. The
original route Of the journey has been
repeatedly curtailed, the pace has
been forced, and the Prince, whose
whole time almost is absorbed by dull
state cerimonics, has had little oppo.
tunity for doing more than take a
flying glimpse Of the outer surface OF
Indian life. AS to the influence
which the visit has had upon the pco-
pie, it does not seem to have amount
Ell to more than the qualification Of n
mild kind of curiosity. 1t is doubt
full whether the Princes and Raiahs
are really pleased at being trottcd out
in honor Of the Queens son, but at
any rate they have done their best to
appear at case, and if they have felt
amy chagrin they have not venturc;l

other hand, like the shows provided
for them, aud have shown no symp.
toms OF discomfort IL disallcction.
That the Princes personal appear
ance has produced Il deep impression
on the native mind there is no reason
to SUPPOSE, and the most, therefore,
that can be said for the sucial or
political results Of his visit is that if
nobody is much ;hc better for it no
body seems to be any the worse. The
Ahhcnoam has printed a translation Of
ofa poem in honor Of his Royal High
ness BY Hindoo scholar, in which he
is invoked as Il deity:
If ask lc, rain, the Prince will give IL;
| II ask for the sun, the l'rincc will smile;
Is he not oInniscicnt, omniprcscnt, almighty

How SCANDAL Grows AND
TRAVELS That NIorrisville (Pa.)
clerical scandal is explained, and is IL
first-rate illustration of how scandal
can travel and magnify from very
small and innocent matter. The
young, unmarried, brilliant pastor,
the Rev. Mr.. Shields, was room mate,
it seems, Of the dry goods keeper,
and naturally was very frequently in
his friends store, sometimes helping
him. A few days ago he bought forty I.
six cents worth of fgoc'ls, leaned over
tie counter, dropped two dallar bill
into the money drawer, and tonk out
the change. Some customers saw him
guessed he was stealing, and circula-
ted the story in the village. And
from this speedily grew the tale that
the young pastor was veteran till
Taper, and had raidcd on nearly
every money drawer in town. But
the church anu the pastor went
sLraightway to work and traced the
scandal back to its starting point.
The storckccpcr and hisrwo clerks
explained the circumstances, a vote
Of confidence was unanimously passed,
and the little village is quiet once
more.
