Clear Case.

In one Of the northern towns Of
New York resided an old Duchman
by the name Of s., whose son
was not making the wisest DISPOSE
tion Of the property which he had
received from the old man. At
least so thought the anxious parent.
How to put a stop to Bills ex-
travagance was the question.
After everything else had failed.
he resolved upon desperate meas
ure.
Application was made to tho
proper authorities, and court was
appointed to decide upon the ques-
ton Of Bills sanity.
After the organization Of the
court the old man was the first wit
ness called to the stand.
The following were the questions
OF the counsel, with the answers oil
the anxious parent:
Counsel. "Bow long, Mr.. s.,
since you first thought your son
was becoming in sane"
Mr.. s.. "a little over q year.
Counsel. "Please state to tho
jury what IL was that first awaken
ed your suspicion"
Mr.. S.. "He jined the meet
in"
Counsel. "Well, Mr.. S.,
what else did you see in his con-
duet that led you to doubt his san
ityr
Mr.. S.. "He gave the min
lister load Of hay"
1t is needless to say that nothing
else appearing against Bill, he was
allowed TO retain the management
Of bis own affairs.

and took therefrom sundry notes
Of hand in his favor, at various
dates from six to twelve months,
and indorsed them payable to Carl
ton, who Immediately gave him a
check for eight thousand dollars
and left the store. A clerk was
Immediately despatched to the
bank, and then Mr.. Elder sank in
to a chair half stupefeld. He
could hardly believe his sences un-
til the cancelled notes were placed
10 his hands.
"The next morning Mr.. Elder
went to his place of business with
feelings but little less troubled
than they had been on the day be-
fore. His payments were lighter,
but his means were for the first
time exhausted. The best he could
do would be to borrow, but he al
ready owed heavily for borrowed
money, and was not certain that TO
60 further was practicable. He
thought Of Mr.. Carlton, but every
feeling Of his heart forbade him to
seek further aid from him.
81 deserve no consideration there,
and cannot ask it," he murmured,
as he pursued his way toward his
store. The first thing that caught
his eye on entering his counting
room was a pile of ship letters.
There had been an arrival from
Valparaiso. He broke the seal of
the frst one he took up with eager
ness. "Thank God y was his al
most immediate exclamation. It
was from one Of his captains, and
continued drafts for fifteen thou
sand dollars. II also informed him
that the ship "Sarah," commanded
ed by said captain, would sail
for home in week, with a return
cargo Of hides and specie amount
ing to thirty thousand dollars
The voyage had been profitable be-
yond expectation.
Elder had just finished reading
the letter when Mr.. Carlton came
in. Selling the kind-hearted mer-
chant by the hand, and pressing it
hard, he said, with emotion,-
"Carlton, you have saved me.
All sir, this would be to me far
happier moment il, seven years ago,
when you were in trouble, i had as
generously aided you"
"Let the past sleep in peace"
returned Mr.. Carlton. "If fortui .
has smiled again, permit me to re-
joice with you, as do with all who
are blessed with favoring gales
To meet with difficulties is of use
to us. 1t gives US the power of
sympathy with others, and the gift
we should all desire. for it is good
thing to lift the burden from should
ers bent down with too heavy q
weight, and throw sunlight over O
heart shaded by gloom"
Mr.. Elder recovered from his
crippled condition in the course Of
few months. He was never again
known to oppress suffering dett-
or.

There came a crisis in his affairs,
md he feared it would not be pass
ed without ruin to himself. II the
effects of his misfortune would not
reach beyond his store and count
ing-room; If upon his head alone
would fall the fragments OF brok-
en- fortune, he would not have mur-
INJURED. But the disaster could not
stop here. 1t would extend even
to the sanctuary Of home.
On the day previous he had call
ed on few Of his creditors, and
asked Of them an extension. II
this were not given it would he i'm
possible for him to keep on longer
than a few weeks. The spirit in
which most of his creditors had re-
ceived the unexpected announce
ment that he was in difficulties,
gave him little to hope. He was
TO have another interview during
the day. From that, as it would
exhibit the result Of nights reHec-
tion upon the minds Of his credit
ors, he would he able to see clearly
his chances Of being sustained in
business. When it had arrived,
and the few creditors called on had
assembled, be saw little in their
faces to give him hope. The first
who spoke out plainly was Mr.. FL
der.
~, gentlemen" he said firmly,
Gam opposed to all extensions. If a
man cannot pay as he goes, / think
he had better wind up"
"If all do not agree in this mat
ter, it will be no use to attempt ex-
tending Mr.. Cartons time," re-
marked one Of the creditors, who
thought and felt as did Elder, bu,
was not willing to come out sc
plainly.
"This is very true" said third
- partial extension will be of nc
use"
The heart Of poor Mr.. Carlton
almost ceased to beat.
"Have you any objection to re-
firing for a few momentsi" asked
Mr. Highland Of the debtor.
81 will withdraw, certainly" re
turned Mr.. Carlton" and he left tn,
room.
"My own view, gentleman" sait
Mr.. Highland, "is, that we ought t.
grant all that is asked. His bust
ness is good, and he will get over
his present difficulties easily IL ",
only assist him little. We should
be just, rs man toward man; ant
this I do not think should be in tn
case unless we consider Mr.. Carltol
"a well as ourselves. He is an hon
est man, and an honest man is diff
ficulties Is always entitled to con
sideration."
"That is all very well, but wher
man gives his note payable at
certain day, he ought to he YER
sure that he will be able to take
mp. Creditors are entitled to som
consideration As well rs debtors
The cry of poor debtor is 500
raised, but who, / wonder, think
Of the poor creditori /, for ont
am not prepared to extend.'
This was said by Elder.
CAS- for me- spoke mp another

like this. II I think ! viii do bel

so; II, by winding up the part

Debtor and Creditor.

Two men met in New York
They were merchants.
"What do you think Of Cartons
affairs, Mr.. Elder I" asked one of
them.
81 think we shall have pretty
fair percentage. Don't youl"
"Yes, if we wind him up"
"That we should do, Of course.
Why let him go on! 1t will take
him two or three years to get thro',
if at ALL"
"If he can get through in two or
three years, ! shall certainly he in
favor of letting him go on. Times
have been rather hard and business
dull. But everything looks encour-
aging now."
81 don't believe in extensions,
Mr.. Highland. The surest way,
when a man gets into difficulties, is
to wind him up, and secure what
you can. Ten chances to one, il
you let him go, you lose every
cent"
81 have granted extensions in
several instances, Mr.. Elder" re-
piled his companion, "and obtained,
eventually, my whole claim, except
in single case" y
"Its always risk. I go by the
motto, "A bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush,'" returned Elder.
II am always ready to take what
can get to-day, and never trust to
the morrow. That is my way OF
doing business"
"But do you not think the debt
or entitled to some consideration =

"Mr. Carlton has domestic rela

with q slight curl Of his lip.
i tFrhere we differ widely"
"And will continue to differ,
imagine. Good morning, Mr.. High
land"
The two men parted.
An hour previous, Mr.. Carlton
about whom they had been convers
ing, sat with his family, a wife an
three daughters, at the breakfas
table. He tried to converse in bi
usual cheerful manner, but to
heavy a weight was upon his hear
