Grain by Grain.

Did you ever know boy, when he
began in earnest to work for a living,
who ever had wages enoughP Some
how, salaries and wants never do keep
with each other. There are not many.
who, like an old philosopher, can walk
along the streets of gay city, and note
the tempting wares set out on every
side, and yet say, How many things
there are here that [ do not want J.
Yet if you can get little into his wsy
of looking at the luxuries OF life, it will
be great help to your peace OF mind.
And it is very singular fact that
most fortunes have been laid on very
small foundation. A great merchant
was accustomed to tell his many clerks
that he laid the foundation Of his prop
erty, when he used to chop wood at
twenty-five cents cord. Whenever he
was tempted to squander quarter he
would say, ''there goes cord OF wood.
He learned in very early years good
lesson in practical economy.
An old woman had been seen for
years hanging about the wharves, where
vessels were loaded and unloaded in
New York harbor, intent on picking
up the grains of coffee, corn, rice, etc,
that were by chance scattered on the
piers. The other day she was badly
hurt by some heavy bags of grain fall
ing on her. The kind merchants took
up o purse for old Rosa and sent her to
her home in Hoboken, in charge OF an
officer. What was his surprise to find
that the neat and handsomely furnished
cottage was the property of the old
grain pickerp She had literally built
and furnished it, as the coral workers do
their homes, grain by grain.
Do not be discouraged though your
profits are small. If you can not in
crease the income, the only way ont
OF the difficulty is to cut down the
wants. Turn every claim to the best
account, and as prices go, you will be
able to get vast amount of real COM
fort out of even small income. The
habits you are forming are also OF the
greatest Importance, and may be made
the foundation stones Of a high pros
perity. y.-COn1rode

An Unnatural Father.

We take the following interesting In
cident from an article in Scribner'S on
Eugene Scribe, the French playwright (:
One day Dupin brought Scribe new
piece. The latter read it and thought
it detestable still there was the germ
of good play in it. 1t interested him,
and he worked rapidly. 1t was in two
acts. He made it one-act piece, added
character, changed the other charnc-
ters entirely, without saying anything
to Dupin, and put it in rehearsal. In
three weeks it was ready ioy perform
ance. The evening it was to be brought
out he invited Dupin to dinner. AS they
took seats at table, he said:
"Let us lose no time, my dear fellow,
for l want you to go with me to the
gymnase. have a ground-foor box,
the front seats of which have been
taken, so that, screened by those spec
tators, we shall be unseen"
"Oh is Michel ct Christine by
youP"
eyes"
"All alone ?"
"No; there are two of as"
"Who is the otherp
"My dear fellow, let us lose no time.
1t is already late; the play begins
early"
Dinner was merrily dispatched. They
reached the gymnase in time. The cur
tain soon rose. At the close OF the
third scene, Dupin said to Scribe:
"My dear fellow, what a charming
play you have written. Pom my word,
you have put on the stage no better
characters than that soldier and that
bar-maid. How fascinating they are "
AS the play went on, Dupin's delight
continued to increase, and he warmly
expressed it to Scribe, who archly
smiled, and at last said:
"Surely you now know who wrote
the piece with me9"
"I have not the remotest idea. But,
I beg of you, silence. I don't want to
lose one word of the piece. 1t is charm
ingl"
Scribe smiled. Presently Dupin
turned to him and asked
"Do you remember the piece l car.
ried you three weeks since1 Now it
seems to ME this scene is somewhat like
the second act of the piece l left With
you. Have you read it, Do you agree
with me?"
Scribe answered:
cob if you think there is the least
plagiarism, we will rewrite that scene"
"Heaven forbid Men continually
hit upon the same ideas. The collisions
of life are constantly striking similar
sparks from different fints. But you
have not yet told me the name OF your
partner"
"Sh-! the curtain is about to fall.
We shall hear his name"
Presently the curtain came down
amid applause which shook the theater
to its foundations. The curtain rose.
The stage-manager came forward to an
nounce the authors. Dupin bent for
ward in eager attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the piece We
have had the honor to play before you
is by Messrs. Scribe and-Dupin."
The next instant Dupin held Scribe in
his arms and embraced him. Scribe ex-
claimed
"Unnatural father does not recog'
nize even his own flesh and blood "
Dupin rejoined:
"I should like to know who could re-
cognize his children when they are
changed in the nurses arms
This was Scribe's partnership he
made the piece his own.
