it is of money; or, If not of money then
at least of something that either makes
money or spends it.
Cleve Sullivan has been spending his
for four years in Europe, and he has just
been telling his friend John Selden how
he spent it. John has spent his in New
York-he is inclined to think just as
profitably. Both stories conclude in the
same way.

John"

half of it.
"Only 500, 900! What did he do with
it?"
"Gave it to his wife," said john

you went away, died in a few months
afterward, and left her his whole for

Gated me,gave me profession, and $20,-

my mothers cousin"
And the widow-where is she? ?''
Living at his country-seat. 1 have
never seen her. She was one of the st.
Maurs of Maryland"
GOOD family, an d all beauties. Why
don't you marry the widow"
Why, 1 never thought of such a

"You can't think of anything better.
Write her little note at once say that
you and will soon be in her neighbor-
hood, and that gratitude to your cousin,
and all that kind of thing - then beg
leave to call and pay respects, etc.
John demurred good deal to the plan,
but Cleve was masterful, and the note
was written, Cleve himself putting it in
the post-office.
This was on Monday night. On We'd
nesday morning the widow Glare found
it with dozen Others upon her break
fast table. She was dainty, high-bred
little lady, with a>kind, hospitable tenn
per, well inclined to be happy in the
happiness of Others.
But this letter could not be answered
with the usual polite formula. She was
quite aware that John Selden had re-
garded himself for many years as his
cousins heir, and that her marriage
with the late Thomas Glare had serious
ly altered his prospects. Women easily
see through the best-laid plans of men,
and this plan was transparent enough to
the shrewd little widow. John would
scarcely have liked the half-contemptu-
GUS shrug and smile which terminated
her private thoughts upon the matter.
Clementine, if you will spare mo-
ment from your fashion paper, want

Clementine raised her blue eyes, drop

not married me, John would have in

THE IMPOSITION OF WHIsKEY, on the
American people, Is one of the conse-
quences of the present high tariff duties
on all imported wines. Men are CON-
PEELED to drink whiskey for stimulant
who would gladly prefer to take any
light wine If they were able to afford it
The cause of temperance is thus daily in
jured by the cultivation of the taste fol
whiskey. All the light wines including
Champagne ought to be allowed to enter
our ports at very moderate rate of duty
At present none but the rich can afford
to drink wine. 1t is an outrage upon the
poor and laboring classes to thus prevent
their ever gratifying taste for light
and less Intoxicating drinks, Champagne
that now comes into the country under
duty of 80 cents on every quart bottle
can be bought in Europe for about %
cents quart and ought to be allowed to
come here at an ad ualorm duty of &c
per cent.

WE HOPE NEVER to see our splendid
volunteer fire department destroyed by
uniting it to the police force, or destroy
ing it by Introducing an inefficient and
costly paid fire department.
Any gentlemen who has energy and
brains to devote to the office, could keep
this city in order with much less police
force than we have. But to do so man
must have moral stamina; and not be a
fool and dolt half his time, whose very
force and voice show how imbecile he

HERE is growing opinion thatis fast

Democrats all over the State that the
people ought to elect a man to Congress
VINO Is able to represent them. The

the people have had saddled upon them
candidates for the Lower House of Con-
gress that do not reflect the honor upon
the State that herintelligence, her public

not be content to represent the other end

THE Preachers of the Methodist
Episcopal Church have wisely acted
upon the suggestion of the GAZETTE
We commend them for carrying out the
resolutions of Rev. w. j. Stevenson, in
preventing promiscuous reports of their
weekly meetings. Reporters mean no
harm. But they are very sure to report
whatever will satisfy curiosity or assist
to make a sensation; thus detracting in
some measure from the dignity of tbe
Church, and the sacredness of the calling
of the Ministry.
