Fast Young Men in New York.

This class of young men is steadily
sugmenting in New York. They will
not labor in any way. 1t was enough
for their fathers to do that. The family
estate is large, and are they not entitled
to a share of it2 An allowance of So, 900
to $1,000 year is reasonable enough, is
it nOt2 They lounge at the clubs, dine
at DelmonicO's, stroll on Fifth avenue,
play billiards at the Windsor or some
other high-toned establishment, drive
now and then in the park, occasionally
patrOniZe the opera, attend fashionable
parties and make love to Laura and
Florence and Rosetta, and all the other
graces, and at the end of the year find
their allowance all gone and themselves
in debt as much more. AS a rule, they
are not actually dissipated, in the sense
of being habitually incorporate, but
their wine bills are not small ones, by
any means, and what they spend for
cigars would easily keep small family
in moderate comfort. r. II. Macy, the
Sixth avenue dry goods merchant who
died in Paris few weeks ago, leaving
100000 to his family, cut off his only
son with an allowance of 81 900 year,
solely because the young man had grown
so reckless and incapable of taking care
of money that it would have been ruin
GUS to himself to give him more. 1t
was for a somewhat similar reason that
Commodore Vanderbilt left his second
son only 100000 out of his immense
estate. The Nathan boys were also wild
and extravagant, and gave their father
good deal of trouble in this way. 1t
would be easy to cite scores of illustra-
tions, but the general fact is sufficient.
The case of Macy has been mentioned.
Another of our dry goods millionaires
had SOD, now dead, to whom he gave an
excellent education, but who fell into
habits of intemperance, married tlighty
young woman, went abroad with her and
died there in poverty and obscurity.
There was, moreover, the case of the
wealthy and aristocratic George Hoffman,
whose son became infatuated with pop
ular ddnseuse, followed her to Europe and
married her, and died (from fast living
before he was twenty one. The list
might be extended indefinitely, but to
make it any longer is needless. may,
however, take space to note the fact that
.recklessness of the kind here in question
seems to be more common among the
sons of men who grew rich during the
war than among any others. Whether
this is to be accounted for on the "put-a-
beggar-on-horse-bae Observation-Disclosures
the-devil" theory l do not pretend to say
but observation satisfies me that there is
good deal of truth in it at any rate.
Nearly all rich mems sons are decidedly
free in letting the money fly, one way OF
another; but the sons of those who coined
their wealth out of war contracts are un.
questionably ahead in this respect.-New
York Oorrespondence Hartford Times.

Inquisitiveness.

A man was yesterday pushing an iron
lswn-roller around yard on Woodward
avenue, when an old lady came along,
leaned up against the fence aud watched
him for while, and then called out
"Say, mister, what are you pushing
that around fort"
ITO roll the lawn" he answered.
"What do you want to roll the lawn
forf'
ITO make it level"
"What do you want to make it level
fort" she continued.
"That's what was ordered to do" be
answered, as he wiped away the perspi-
ration.
"But what did they order you to do it
fort"
"Why, they think smooth lawn looks
the best, Isuppose."
"Why do they think a smooth lawn
looks the best9" she persisted.
II haven't time to talk" he said, as he
started up again.
"Why haven't you time to talk" she
shouted.
"Go'n ask the bossl" he yelled.
"Who shall go'n ask the boss2" she
screamed.
He disappeared behind the house to
get rid of her, and after waiting FIVE
minutes for him to re-appear, she slowly
sauntered of, muttering-
"Some folks are so smart and stuck up
that you can't get within mile of 'em
onless you blaze all over with diamonds" {"

A HAsTY VERpIcT.-The majority of
people are ever ready to judge the con-
duct Of their neighbors-in other words,
to "cast the first stone." But we have
no right to judge others until we know
all Of the circumstances that influence
their conduct. In many cases we might
initiate those we condemn, under like
circumstances. A young man employed
in printing Office in one of our large
cities incurred the ridicule of the other
eompositofp, ON account of his poor
clothes and unsocial behavior. On sew
eral occasions subscription papers were
presented to him for various objects, but
be refused to give his money. One day
3 compOsitor asked him to contribute for
picnic party, but was politely refused
ThereupOn he accused him of niggardli-
ness-an accusation which he fercely re-
Sented. "You little know" he said, show
unJustly you have been treating me. For
more than year, l have been striving
myself to save money enough to send my
poor blind sister to Paris, to be treated
bya physician who has treated many
cases of blindness similar to hers. l
have always done my duty here in this
oftice, and have minded my own business.
| am sacrificing everything in life for
another. Would either of you do as
muchl Could anyone do more2" He
mad been judged without knowledge of
circumstances. Be slow to censure and
condemn. We cannot read the hearts of
others, and in many cases, to know all is
% judge all. "Judge not that ye be not
judged"

other day, in a speech to his
constituents, that he became a county
member on the day when Mr..

coincidence reminds us of a remark

marked that on the day when he became a

Romance Of a Hospital.

st. Franciscus Hospital, Catholic in
sttution in this city, has recently been
the scene of a very romantic occurrence.
some five or six months ago, young
nhysician, son of prominent citizen of
Pittsburg, obtained the appointment of
assistant physician to the hospital. As
he is Protestant, some surprise was
manifested by those cOnversant with the
facts. that he should be thus honored BY
Catholic institution. He received no
nav for his services, further than his
hoard and unlimited command of the
splendid wines and liquors of the estab-
Eshment, which are as abundant as they
are good. Everything apparently ran
along smoothly and pleasantly to all,
until short time sgo; when an event
transpired which has caused the young
physician to sever his connection with
the institution, the reason therefore being
this: Residing in the hospital were sew
eral nuns and sisters of mercy, who had
taken VOWS of eternal celibacy. One of
these, however, happened to be young,
beautiful, intelligent and attractive, and
the physician soon became deeply enam-
ored of her. And notwithstanding her
VOWS, the young nun soon learned to bow
in secret to another shrine than that of
the Virgin Mary; in fact her love for
the fascinating young physician became
as strong as his for her. In the daily as
sociation of hospital life they had fire.
Iuent opportunities for speaking in that
language which requires not words for
utterance, and eventually the young
Romeo prevailed upon the not unwilling
Juliet to renOunce her vows and fee from
the citadel that restrained her ardent
young life. So one bright morning, not
more than a week ago, the fair recluse
was not to be found; in the stiffness of
night she had flown, without even so
much as bidding her companions adieu.
The Mother Superior of the establish
ment was naturally exceedingly angry,
and proceeded to make an investigation
of the affair. As the result of her in
quiries she accused the young physician
as having assisted in the nuns escape.
To her surprise he not only did not deny
it, but openly acknowledged that he had
opened the doors for the nun. And,
further, he insisted that he had a perfect
married to her, and it was a foregone
conclusion that be could not fulfil his
contract if she retained the veil and a
residence within the circumscribed limits
of the hospital. The Mother Superior
became exceedingly wroth, and informed
the physician that his services would be
dispersed with in the hospital. He re-
ceived the announcement very coolly;
and more than that, be told the irate
lady that he had made preparations to
go to Philadelphia, and SO soon as he
was established there he intended to
marry the fair nun whom he loved, sd-
mired and respected. The physician is
but little over nineteen years of age,
but is said to be q young man of great
promise in his profession. The nun is a
young lady who formerly resided on the
South Side, and is likewise by those who
know her much esteemed for her many
virtues as we'll as for her beauty and in
telligence. In this connection it is not
necessary to give the names of either
parties.-Pitts6tIrg OhrOniele.

Dried apples figure largely in this move
