4 A Now York journal gives the following
incident, which we reproduce as a warning
to poor rich men:
"a gentleman died last week, at his
residence in one Of our up town fashionable
!. streets, leaving Sll,000,000. He was a
member Of tho Presbyterian Church, in
excellent standing, q good husband and
father, and q thriving citizen. On his
death.bed, lingering long, he suffered with
great agony of mind, and gave continual
expression to his remorse at what hiss CON
science told him had bcen an i'll spent life.
"Oh," he exclaimed, as his weeping friends
and relatives gathered about his >bed-"oh,
il could only lire my years over again:

face to tho WALL "You. have called it a
fwiao economy and forothought, but my
riches have been only a snare for my soul!

HIS ONLY TERMs.-The old saying
that somo men would want more if they
had billion, was cxcmplifed recently when
q Windsorite and Dotroitcr got into a
dispute at the ferry dock. Said the Cana
dian, "You ought to be we'll pounded, and
I'm tho man to do it! However, l don't
understand tho laws over here, and don't
want to be locked up. IF you will come
over to Canada III pay your fair both ways
on the bout, buy your dinner, treat you to
cigars, lick you till you can't aqueal, and
send you homo with beef in your eyes"
The American thought of the proposition
awhile, and then asked: ,
"lf l 90 over, will you buy me now
overooat2''
I-I-yes, by thunder, wilII'' replied
the mad Windsorite.
"And new suit Of clothesT
"No,. I won't That's asking too muoh!"
"Well, those are tho only terms I was
cvor licked on calmly replied the other,
"and your rejection Of them shows that you
are all blow and no fight"
They took it out in jawng.

How TO DE BEAUTIFULLY be boauti-
ful wo must ohorish ovory kind impulse and
generous disposition, making love tho ruling
affection Of tho heart, and tho ordering
principle and inspiring motive of life. The
more kindness, the more beauty; the moro
love, the more loveiness And this is
beauty that lasts. Nero physical good
looks fade with years, bloach out with sick
ness, yield to tho slow decay and wasting
breath of mortality. But the beauty that
has its seat and source in kind dispositions,
and noble purposes, and great thoughts,
outlast youth and maturity, increases with
age, and like the luscious peach, covered
with tho delicate plush Of purple and gold
which comes with autumn ripeness, is never
80 beautiful as whom waiting to be plucked
by tho gathorer's hand.

CHEERFUL WoMEN,-ln marrying, mon
SHOULD seek happy women; they make
terrible mistake when they marry for beauty,
or for talent, or for style; tho sweetest wives
arc those who possess tho magic secret Of
being happy under and every circumstance.
Rich or poor, high or low, it makes no
differences tho bright little fountain bubbles
up just as5musically in their hearts. No
thing ever goes wrong with them no
trouble 10 too serious for them "to make the.
beat of it," Was ever the stream Of ca.
lamity so dark aud deep that the sunshine
Of happy face falling across its turbid
tides would not mike an answering CLEAN?
Why, then, joyous tempered people don't
know half the good thoy do. No matter
how GROSS aud grabbed you feol, no matter if
your brain is full of meditation On "aflliot..
ing dispensations," and your stomach with
medicines, pills and tonios; just sot one Of
these oheory little women talking TO you,
and we are not afraid to wager anything she
eau cure you. Tho long drawn line about
the mouth will relax--tho cloud of settled

women! How often their littlo hands
guide tho ponderous machine Of life, with
almost an invisible touch! How VIC look

CHICAGO, Dec 5.-The wheat deal was
quiet almost to dullness yesterday, and but
for the unusual number of commission
men and scalpers who stood in that section
of raised floor known as the "wheat
crowd" nobody would have suspected that
transaction involving many millions of
dollars was in progress. Mr.. Keene keeps
his own counsel and reporters can get
nothing out of him.
1t is said Keene has bought 1900, 900
bushels of No. wheat here and insured it
in elevators for four months, which looks
as though he intended to make an all win
ter deal in the Chicago market. A know
ing one says Keene intends to first get full
control of the Milwaukee market, and then
be in better position to manipulate the
Chicago market.
The Mexican excursion party leave here,
under the management of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad, on January 4th. Advices
state that the Mexican Government has apr
propriated $50 900 for their entertainments,
and funds have been placed in the hands Of
reception committee.
