A Glass to be Pitied.

We are all familiar with that type OF
people who cannot bear to be thought
poor. They must live like their neigh
bors, although those neighbors may be
twice or three times as rich as them
selves. They initiate the dress of peo-
pie far above them in the social SCALE
Worse than that, they even initiate their
follies and extravagancies. They copy
the entertainments of tho wealthy and
and adjust their dinner parties and even
ing receptions to the same scale, how
ever much they may pinch and squeeze
at the Preside. Fancy Mistress Sham's
expression when she personally supcrin.
tends the gathering up Of the fragments
Of a feast and dooms an unhappy ,discon-
tented household to scanty dinners for a
month A heavy price for one evenings
amusement truly. And what is gained by
such extravaganza ? Nobody thinks bet
ter Of man who notoriously lives be-
yond his means. The frog cannot try
to puff himself out to the dimensions Of
an OK without danger Of bursting. Sure
ly it is the very irony of life when a
man struggles TO assume or keep up
position which his means cannot afford.
He is running race that will too sure

her that Mrs. Lohman's brother had heard
the story OF her death, and he had come to
look at the body and sympathize with the
members of the family. Although he was en-

would like to SEQ her before she was buried,
he being her only brother, and being very
much attached to her, as he had lived with
her over thirty years, and as he had not seen
her for come months.
Mrs. Farrell stated she would not permit
Mr.. Trow to come into the house, and he
would not be allowed TO see his sister, and on
all occasions he would be refused admittance
to the house. We then both left without be-

ding advertisements or other aid to lotteries.

In any Northern community, and II ever the
press Of the North gets comprehensive idea
Of what Howard Is trying to do in Washing
ton, an outcry will be raised against him, suf-
ficient to prevent the accomplishment Of his
design.
The Philadelphia Times, after quoting How
ards advertisements, says that the law OF
Pennsylvania declares all lotteries, whether
public or private for money, goods, wares or
merchandise,
To be Common Nuisances,
and adds that this statute but expresses the
judgment Of modern civilization, which has
denounced lotteries as common nuisances
disturbing to public order, and offensive to
public morals. 1t then refers to the fact that
eminent citizens are advertised as superin-
tendents Of Howard's lottery drawing, and
says that no one need be told of the thou
sands and thousands of dollars that are spent
In this city every month In this vain delusion,
till the victims are not only ruined in purse
but In character. ALI OF
This Internal Business
hangs upon three or four great lotteries,
with their lists OF eminent directors and it Is
at them, as at the trunk Of great Upas tree,
that the blows Of the law and Of public
opinion must be directed.
1t ought to be impossible, In this land and
in this age, that any man with character
worth preserving should lend his name to
An Organized Robbery
that blights the lives of all who come within
it's influence.
Similar expressions are being made in other
journals throughout the North, and it is not
