( sara, oga Hotel Closed.

A correspondent tells how a hotel
was suddenly closed at Saratoga the
other day in this wise:
The sudden closing of the Wind
sor was a veritable coup de theatre.
We saw the house brilliantly lighted
in the evening, and about a dozen
guests in the pretty parlors. Two
beautiful little children sported be-
side the loom clerk, and demurely
answered questions with all the dig
nifty of nine or ten Y ars. To in-
quiries if there were many people in
the house, these little FAIRIES positive
ly answered, "Oh, ever so many.
hundreds" AT which the good look
ing clerk smiled cxpressively, as this
was altogether too delicious a Joke.
There was an excellent piano, which
some one touched with light and skill
fol fingers. There was an atmos-
phere Of success about the whole
place, although the initiated knew
that the end must inevitable come. as
the house was built and furnished in
large measure on borrowed money.
And 10 the morning the crash did
come. The manager, Mr.. Poole. in
formed his guests before the depart
ure of the early train that an agent
of the bank that held the mortgage
upon the house was coming to seize
II. Then came swift fight to the
rooms, and ladies packed as they bad
never packed before. They probably
bad a belief that their wardrobes
might be seized. and they were so
urged by this fear that they were ac-
tually enabled to get away in time.
The house was absolutely deserted
by every one before 500 O'Clock. The
coffee was 10 the cups, the bread upon
the table, the meat in the plates. the
furniture in the rooms All the doors
were left open, and if the tramps had |
only known, what time they might /
have bad The agent who seized the !
house spoke of this curious state of /
things. and it came to the ears of the
irm that held another mortgage up
1n the furniture. He sent men. and
hey put everything 10 order, closed
all the windows, fastened alltbe shut
ers, locked all the doors, and left the
'uined place which was opened with
'uch high hopes only a bare two
months ago. 1t was lady's speeu-
alton aud has been a moat disastrous

The Richest Man In Boston.

Some years ago 40 eccentric mill
icnaire of Boston, named Scar died
leaving behind him a son, who had
grown to be fine young fellow; and
will which had grown to be nui-
sance The will provided that the
estate should be held in trust, aud
thai the infant should enjoy gradu-
al increased income, which should
never exceed $4,000 year; in the
event of his dying an infant, the es-
tate was to 90 to parties 10 the will,
and for twenty years the owner of
the richest estate in Boston has been
comparatively poer The old mans
idea was that the son, By living on
$40 600 year, would accumulate an
unheard-of fortune 10 leave to some
ole else The idea Of the son was
that be would ike to enjoy that for
tune himself; so be suggested to the
Court the other day, that, as the con-
ditions dependent on bis death bad fail

the vast estate in excess oftbe amount

As the two with their school-boo wansered On
Ger the clover-laden ground.
OH tie maiden, how fair you were
With your eyes of heavenly blue;
And the dimples played on yoar checks. As play
On rose the drops fdew.
As play on the rose the drops of dew,
When the breeyes merrily blow,
And your lips they were tints Of the ripenlng

In the mornings ruddy glow.
Bare feet; how they twinkled among the grass
Did you know, whenever you took
The path Tor school, that we waited for you
BY the willow-shaded brook
Since then, the fragrant blossoms have come
To the boughs, ah many time;
And bridge is over the brook that sings,
As of old, its pleasant rhyme;
And two are straying upon the hank
As l pen these wandering words,
And they talk of the happy school-dsy tims,
And they watch the building BIRDS
But n stream there is with grander now,
With a sterner, sadder song;
And lovers will cross to different school,
And he Up each other along!
