A WeIl-Managed SwIndIe.

One day recently man clad in the
garb and having the general style of the
frontiersman, called at Mr.. Eppstein's
Pawnbroker's office on the corner of
Woodward and Jefferson avenues, De-
troit, Mich, and said he would like to
make dicker.
well, sir, what can do for you?"
inquired the urbane attendant.
1--WE got some gold here" said the
stranger. Pm hard up and want to
raise some money on this 'ere pile"
He took from an inner breast-pocket
small pasteboard box, carefully lifted
the cover off and disclosed to the
pawn-broker handful of gold nuggets.
Where did you get that ~ inquired
the pawnbroker.
dug er myself" was the reply.
''How much do you want for it?"
"Oh" returned the miner, 81 don't
want to sell it; only want to make a
temporary raise. 81 guess $3.50 will
see me through for few days, and when
l get home I'll send for it,"
The pawnbroker tested one of the
nuggets, found it twenty-one carat gold,
and after weighing it, and finding the
pile worth sl75, he offered to advance
500 on it.
"Twon't do, mister" said the visitor,
Il must have $3.50 Or nothing"
Zone hundred dollars is all I can lend
you on it," replied the pawnbroker,
handing back the box and its precious
contents.
WELL" said he, with careless air.
take it and give me the 500. Pl
make that do" With that he handed
out the box once more, received ticket
and 800 in cash and disappeared.
An hour later Mr.. Eppstein thought
he would have look at the gold, and
tookit out of the safe. TIC make assurance
doubly sure he again tested 1t. The
first nugget proved to be silver. very
neatly gildeG. Another and another
We're examined in like manner until the
whole had been gone through. and
every nugget was found to be of the
same character, the whole being worth
fraction over 81.
The trick was now transparent. The
pretended miner was in reality a
very clever swindler. who had two
boxes, one containing the pure gold and
the other gilded silver, which he ex-
changed at the time he pretended to
decline the offer of 800. He made
his escape, and Mr.. Eppstein philo-
sophically pocketed his loss of 500.

That One Door.

The Chevalier Gerard de Kampis was
a very rich and very proud man. Soon
after the completion Of his magnificent
castle all great neighbors were invited
to grand feast. At the conclusion Of
asumptuous repast, his guests made
speech after speech, in which the host
was la uded to the skies, and told that
he was the most fortunate man alive.
As Chevalier loved fattery, we can
imagine how proud and delighted he
was. One among the guests, however,
said nothing for time. When each
man had made his speech, he uttered
the following singular observation upon
the happiness Of the host:
''Sir knight" he said, Gin order that
your felicity should be complete, you
require but one thing ; but that is very
important item."
''And what thing is it," demanded
the knight, opening wide his eyes.
Zone Of your doors must be walled
up" replied the guest.
At this strang rejoinder several of
the guests began to laugh, and Gerard
himself looked as much as to say.
This man has gone mad.' Wishing,
however, to have the clue to the enigma,
he continued:
''But which door do you mean"
II mean that through which you will
one day be carried to your grave" re-
piled the other.
These words struck both guests and
hosts, and made the latter reflect most
seriously.-The man remembered the
vanity Of all things earthly, and from
henceforth he no longer thought only
of the perishable treasures he had once
so gloried in. He was completely al
tered, and only made use Of his riches

II YOU have something to attend to,

Blow Your Own HoRN.-Blow
your own horn. Yes, give il blast and
let modesty blush if she will. This false
delicacy has been the stumbling block
of thousands ofreally good and capable
men. Make a noise-it will attract
somebody. Let the world know that
you are alive, and intend to drive
things until you get to the top of the
hill and have made fortune. To the
man of energy and perseverance noun
tains are but mole hills IT'S only the
drones that fail. They are always looking
on the black side, predicting disaster; al
ways complaining ofhard times; always
waiting for something to turn up. Such
men never will find good times nor pros
perity. Neither will they find friends
or admirers among first class business
men. fyou would succeed in anything
don't stand still. Go ahead. Don't be
afraid. Do something. If you don't
blow the horn somebody else will, but
not for your beniit, except Sin horn.

Proverbs fer Subscribers.

"A wise son maketh a glad father,
and prompt paying subscriber causeth
an editor to laugh.
Folly is JOY that Is destitute Of
WISDOM but delinquent subscriber
causeth suffering in the house OF news
paper maker.
All the ways of a man are clear in
his own eyes, except the way the de-
linquent subscriber hath in not paying
for his newspaper. Better is a little
with righteousness than a thousand
subscribers who fail to pay what they
owe.
"A just weight and balance are the
10 rd's,' but that which IS due upon
your newspaper belongs to the publisher
thereof.
Better is a dry morsel and quietness
Herewith than a long list of subscri.
bers who cheat the printer.
Better is the poor man that walketh
IN integrity and payeth his subscrip.
ton, than the rich man who continually
telleth the devil to call again.
judgments are prepared for scorners,
stripes for the backs Of FOOLS and ever
lasting punishment for him who payeth
not for his newspaper.
Hope deferred maketh the heart
SICK is proverb sadly realized by
the publisher who sendeth out bills.
"A righteous man hateth lying hence
an editor wakes wroth against the
subscriber who promises to call and
settle on the morrow, yet calleth not to
settle.
1T biteth like serpent and stingeth
like an ADDER when the adder gets
through adding UP the amounts due
| from his subscribers.

"a Cup Of Cold Water"
A THRILLING INCIDENT OF THE LATE
CIVIL WAR.

As indicative of the feeling which ex-
lists between those who engaged in the
strife on either side, we relate the fol-
lowing incident, which is only one
among thousands of similar character
that have marked the era of good will
between the participants in our sectiona |
strife: ...
In one of the hotly-contested fights
in Virginia during the war, Federal
officer fell wounded in front OF the
Confederate breastworks. While lying
there wounded and crying piteeusly for
water, a Confederate soldier Games
Moore, of Burke county, N. Co. declar-
ed his intention Of supplying him with
drink. The bullets were flying thick
from both sides, and Moore's friends
endeavored to dissuade him from such a
hazardous enterprise. Despite remon-
STRANGE and danger, however, Moore
leaped the breastwork, canteen in hand,
reached his wounded enemy and gave
him drink. The Federal, under sense
of gratitude for the timely service, took
out his gold watch and offered it to his
benefaetor, but it was refused. The
officer then asked the name of the man
who had brayed such danger to succor
him; the name was given and Moore
returned unhurt to his position behind
the embankment.
They saw nothing more Of each
other. Moore was subsequently wound
ed and lost limb in one Of the engage
ments in Virginia, and returned to his
home IN Burke county. A few days
ago he received a communication from
the Federal soldier to whom he had
given the "cup Of cold water on the
occasion alluded to, announcing that he
had settled on him the sum Of ten
thousand dollars, to be paid in four
equal annual instalments Of twenty
FIVE hundred dollars each. Investigation
has established the fact that there is no
mistake or deception in the matter.
The facts connected with this incident
are honorable to both parties, and the
kindly feeling exhibited is indicative Of
that which exists between those Of both
sides who fought manfully while they
did fight, but who, when they laid down
their arms laid down also the angry
feelings which strife naturally engender-
cd for the time.

KEEP YOUR AGREEMENTS One
reason why many people do not get
along in the world is because they can
not be depended upon. They do not
keep their agreements. When they are
weighed in the balance Of actual affairs
they are often found wanting. They
are seldom on time. The workman
who is always on hand at the appointed
time and place, and does his work &C
eording to agreement, is sure to get
along. To young mechanic, starting
in life, the habit of promptness and
punctuality is worth more than thous-
and dollars cash capital-although a
thousand dollars is not to be despised.
Tue trustworthiness Of the faithful
workman produces money; but the
untrustworthiness of the unfaithful one
causes him to lose money. This is an
everlasting principle. He who would
be permanently prosperous must keep
his engagements.

Some time ago there lived in Edinburgh
well-known grumbler named Sandy
Black, whose often recurring fits of
spleen or indigestion produced some
amusing scenes Of senseless irritability,
which were highly relished by all except
the brute's good, patient little wife.
One morning Sandy rose bent on
quarrel. The haddins and eggs were
excellent, done to turn. and had been
ordered by himself the previous evening
and breakfast passed without the looked
for compliment.
''What will you have for dinner,
Sandy ?" said Mrs. Black.
"a chicken, madam" said the
husband.
Roasted or broiled?"
''Confound It, madam, if you had
been a good and considerable wife you
would have known before this what 1
liked" Sandy growled out, and slam
ming the door behind him, left the
house. 1t was in the Spring, and a
friend who was present heard the little
wife say:
'Sandy's bent on a disturbance to-
day; shall not please him, do what I
CAM
The dinner time came and Sandy and
his friend sat down to dinner. The fish
were eaten in silence, and OF raising
the cover Of the dish before him, in
towering passion he called out:
''Broiled chicken. I,hate it, madam.
A chicken broiled is chicken spoiled"
Immediately the cover was raised
from another chicken roasted to a
turn.
MADAM, I won't eat roast chicken
roared Sandy: ''you know how it should
have been cooked ~
At that instant boiled chicken.

table.

grumbler.
''Here theyare my dear" said Mrs.
Black
Chow dare you spend nay money in
that way?"
''They were a present." said the wife,
interrupting him.
Rising from his chair, and rushing
from the room. followed by roar of
laughter from his friend. he clinched
his fist and shouted:

quently as he was promoted, hard as he
worked, and steadily as he improved
But Mr.. Haines worshipped his only
child, and the burst of tears in the count
ing house told him the secret Bertha
successfully concealed from all others.
A self-made man himself, with an am
pie fortune to add to the one Bertha al
ready held, he laid no stress upon
money in thinking of a son-in-law.-
Energy, industry, integrity, these were
the foundation stones of his own for
tune, and these were the qualities he de-
sired in life companion for the child
who was the hope and pride of his old
age.
The closer ties were bound that drew
Raymond Thurston to him in business,
the more he honored and esteemed the
sterling worth of the man he so regarded
as mere butterfly Of fashion, one of
fashions spoiled children. And learn
ing to respect his worth, he had also
learned to love the frank, bright face, the
clear ringing voice and the ever ready
courtesy Of the young clerk. 1t grew to
be very frequent occurrence for him to
ask the support ofthe strong, young arm
when the streets were slippery, and at
the door to invite Raymond to dine, sure
of a beaming look Of pleasure from
Bertha.
There came day after two years Of
faithful service, when Raymond was in
formed in the privacy of the counting
room that junior partnership was his
If he would accept it. Some emotion
checked the utterance Of Raymond's
heartfelt gratitude. He extended his
hand, to meet cordial grasp and
hear:
Yes. yes. I know. And now if you
want to tell Bertha the news, YOU may
take holiday.
MAY 1 tell her more? May I tell
her l love-that the enc hope Of my
life is to win her love in return -
''You may tell her that have been
your most sincere friend and warmest
well-wisher for two years. You may
tell her." and the old mans eyes twin

son, ever since the day she met you

''And behaved like an angel ~
''1es, yes, Of course, they always do.
There, get along with you. I'm busy.
Take my love to Bertha, if you are not
overburdened with your own"
And so-you know the rest. There
was wedding, and Amabel gave the
bride parure Of diamonds, and owned,
when, in burst of confidence Bertha
told her the whole story, that after all,
Thurston's pride was not so good in the
end as Raymond's ''True pride"
