There was no crowd and no excitement,
and, as the NJ. ID. leaned against the

had drawn off stood beside him, and the

that although married, they have no

to take wine at the table Of famous
statesman in Washington, had the moral
courage to refuse. He was poor young
man, just beginning the struggle Of life.
Ho brought letters to the great statesman,
who kindly invited him home to dinner.
Not take a glass Of wine ?" said the
great statesman, in wonderment and sur
prise.
mot one single glass Of wine ?" ech-
oed the statesman beautiful and fascina-
ting wife, as she rose, glass in hand, and
with grace that would have charmed
an anchorite, endeavored to press it upon
him.
NO." replied the heroic youth, reso-
lutely, gently repel!ing the profered
glass.

AMUSING SToRY.-An amusing story
comes from the Ardonnes, where accord
to the tale, an agriculturist recently died,
leaving vile, a horse, and dog. A
few moments before his death, he called
his wife to him, and bNde her sell the
horse and give the proceeds Of the sale to
his relatives, and to sell the dog and keep
the money thus gained for herself Soon
after the death the wife went to the mar
kot with the horse and dog and exhibited
them, with the announcement that the
price Of the dog was 500 francs, and that
Of the horse francs. The p8sscr by
stopped and stared, and judged the wo
man mad, more especially rs she inform
ed all woud-b be purchasers that to buy
the horse it was necessary to buy the dog
first. At last curious passer-by conclu-
ded,the bargain after which the sliIltul
woman handed over five francs to the fam
lily her deceased husband, and retained
500 francs for herself, thus contriving al
the same time to carry out the letter, i
not the spirit, Of the wishes of her hus-
band, and to secure the largest sum o
money for herself.

UNPRINCIPLED PERFORMANCE. - A
citizen who should be preparing himself
for the unknown life beyond the grave,
instead of being up to such tricks, remov-
ed the setting from his big gold ring the
other day, leaving marked and decided
vacancy. He gets on a street car, hold
his hand so that the ring must be seen,
and pretty soon man bends forward and
remarks
"Excuse me sir, but you have lost the
set from your ring"
$50 have" replies the owner as he
looks around the floor.
Every passenger began to peer around,
and the man who made the discovery f.
nally asks:
"NVas it valuable set 20
at was a thousand dollar diamond" ="
Is the calm reply.
There is another movement on the part
of passengers. Some look along the seat,
some under it, and some make dive for
pearl buttons and other small objects.
"When did you miss it ?" asks the frs
man as the search weakened little.
"a year and a half fago, when was at
ending camp-meeting in Illinois !" is the
sad reply.
Then every passenger straightens up
every eye looks into vacancy, and not The
faintost smile can be seen on any face. A
person boarding the car just then woul(
wonder what great man in the city haC
just died, and if the passengers were OF
their way to take a sad farewell look a
the remains.

A NoBLE ACT.-Once upon n time a
young man was convicted of crime, in
this city, and sentenced by Recorder
Swift to the State Prison FOR three years.
He made pardon by Gov. Bagley, short
time before the expiration Of the term for
which he had been sentenced. On his
return to Detroit, he found employment
at five dollars a week, in one Of the larg-
est wholesale and retail houses in the ci-
tv. He conducted himself in an eXemp-
larry manner, and he began TO believe
that his lines had fallen in pleasant pla-
ces, until one morning an ominous mes
sage came, informing him that he was
wanted in the proprietor's private Office.
Apprehensive that his history had been
disclosed, he entered the Office with a
heavy heart, but resolved to meet the ia
sue like a man. The proprietor stood by
his desk, holding in one hand a letter.
His manner indicated nothing of what
was passing in his mind, but with dc.
crepatory gesture he handed the letter to
his clerk and told him to read it. The
young man glanced hurriedly over the
letter--a cowardly anonymous production
which was simply recita! Of the darl;
episode in his career.
"Is that true ?" inquired the proprie'
tor"
sit is true," was the sad reply.
The merchants face lighted in an in
stant. lie grasped the abashed an(
trembling clerk by the hand, and sad tC
him 4" You are the man | want. YoJ
may draw $l3 week from this time un-
ill further notice, and at the first oppor
tunity ! shall give you charge Of floor
| can trust man who will face tn
truth in this fashion and under these cir
cumstances, and you may count upon
permanent situation SO long as l am il
business"
What that young man said in respons
to this unexpected declaration of conf
dence has not yet been told ; but th
merchant, whose sense ofjustice and lov
Of truth were so signally illustrated, ma
be assured that he has gained loya
friend, and earned the deathless gratitud
not only of that young man, but of all hi
family. 1t is an example worth nor
than whole decades Of imprisonment
