rom the PittabuYp Commercial

|
We heard p city incident the other
day which we cannO thelp relating. A
young lady from the south, it seems, was
wo0ed and won by a youthful physician
living i'm California. When the engage
ment was made the doctor was rich, hav-
ing been very successful at San Francisco.
1t had not existed six months, however.
when, by an unfortunate Investment, he
lost his entire heap" This event came
upon him, it may be added, just as he was
] about to claim his bride. What does he
do? Why, like an honorable and chival-
rous young fellow, as he is, he sits down
and writes the lady every particular of
the unhappy turn which has taken place
in his fortunes, assuring her that if the
tact produced any change in her feelings
toward him, she is released from every
promise she has made him. And what
does the dear, good girl do? Why, she
takes lump OF pure gold which her
lover had sent her in his prosperity rs a
keepsake, and having it manufactured in
to Il ring, forwarded it to him with the
following Bible inscription engraved in
distinct characters on the outside EN-.
treat me not to leave thee, or to return
from following after thee; tor whittier
thou gOest will L 60. and whittier thou
lodgest will l lodge thy people will be
my people, and thy God my God where
thou diest will | die, and there will l be
buried the Lord do so to me, and more
also, if aught but death part me and
thee" The lover idOlized his sweetheart
more than ever when he received this
precious evidence of her devotion to him,
both In storm and sunshine. We may
add that fortune sOoh again smiled upon
the young physician, and that he subse-
quently returned to the north to we'd the
| girl he loved, and who loved him With
such undying affection. Reader, this is
all true. Young ladies who read the BIZ
Bile as closely rs the heroine of this Incl
dent seems to have done are pretty sure
to make good sweethearts and better
wives. ~

INC T,mee and Their Hardness.

II
From the New York Tribune.
| Truth may be in the bottom of q well,
but mans prosperity Is certainly not in
the bottom of peoples glasses. In Illus
tration of this we have tale narrated by
a Western reporter, who wandered, as
he tells US, the other night into drink
ing-saloon in Dubuque, of course In
quest of information, and not to quench
his thirst. 1t is hardly necessary to state
that the company were DIS
cussing the strike. The misera-
BILE man who seemed to lead the
eloquence informed the melancholy
crowd that personally he was great suf-
ferer in consequence OF the hardness OF
the times and the low rate of wages. He
was person of long experience, and he
did not hesitate to say that the times
were the hardest he had known in the
whole course of his chequered existence.
He had actually been Obliged to give up
his newspaper, as an expensive luxury
which the state of his finances no longer
permitted him to indulge in. Singular
~ enough, at the close Of his lamenta-
ton he asked the crowd what they would
take. In very few moments this mar
tyr to low wages or no wages had spent
60 cents I'm charitable cOnviviality, and 1t
Is intimated i'm the narrative that he had
been dispensing liquid aims In the same
free-handed way since morning. But as
to this matter,t the exact figures are want
ing. =,
A little arithmetic will show that II
the Dubuque sufferer, upon whom the
times are so hard, spent every day the
sum of 80 cents for his own and other
peoples alcoholic delectatiOn, the cost of
his great go0d-fellowship would be $2l9
per annum. This would certainly pay
the rent of a comfortable house it would
60 good way towards clothing and
and feeding family; and put at interest
it. would earn from $12 to 10 year. The
times must be very good indeed which
will permit any workingman to squander
a considerable portion of his money In
treating the crowd. Whoever undertakes
to reconcile pecuniarv ease with a lavish
expenditure which can 10 HIM only
harm, may be magnificent theoretical
economist, with very clear views of the
rights of labor, but he may be sure that
his own misfortunes will never be mend
ed. The wisest Secretary Of Treasury
will not be able to hit upon policy
which will make this reveller rich. No.
act of Congress can reach his case. He
will have to legislate little for him
self.

Daniel and his wife fell on their knees

How william HI. Vanderbilt Got In
4t tn HHRlmeS0.

1t is pretty well known that during
William III. Vanderbilt's youth his faith
er, the commodore, had very little conf
dence in his sagacity or business ability.
Against the advice of some of his friends
he persiStantly declined the young mans
cooperation because he thought him
| stupid" A story is current on Sta
ten Island which goes to show how the
cOmmodOre's eyes came to be opened to
the mistake into which he had allowed
himself to fall concerning his oldest boy.
william owned farm near his fathers,
and finding that It required fertilization,
he applied to him for some manure.
allow much do you want?" inquired
the commodore.
sOh, about load" said the son.
"Certainly ] can spare that" was the
reply.
When the commodore visited his place
the next week he found that his yards
and stables were swept clean of the great
heaps of composite which he had allowed
to accumulate.
why how is this? 2" he said to the
farmer.
Your son came and got it." was the
answer. He said you gave him permits
SON."
The commodore went tuning to Will
liam, and said in busting way, "See,
here young man, what have you been
about; how dared you to cart off all my
manure p 49,
s.YOu said could have it," was the re-
jOinder. You told me to take a lOad.r
"a load |! why, you haye got every bit
there is.
II only took load, father-a sloop
load.r ~
The old mans eyes were opened, and
he concluded to give the son ''slice" of
stock to operate with, and soon after
made him vice president of the Central
Road.
