THE RICH CALIFORNIA BANKER

When it became known that one of
the richest California bankers had left
the Pacific Coast and transferred his
base of operations to the New York
Stock Exchange, all the shrewd inan-
ciers watched his course with keen IN
terest to see how he would succeed.
The result has emphatically proved the
wealthy bankers sagacity. Besides
having a much wider and more promis-
ing field to operate in, he is known to
have been in several stock combina-
tons that paid immense profits. BY the
combination method of operating in
stocks, Messrs. Lawrence & Co., Bank

Of customers, in different sums, into

Capital in any amount from $40 to
100000 can be used with great success
in these pools. $25 would pay 800

Bows Leisure Hours.

What boy does with his leisure is
most important what he gets in school
is mainly drill or exercise it is a
gymnasium to him; he must eat else
where. What he does with his spare
hours determines his destiny. Sup
pose he reads history every day or
scientific books; in the course of a few
years he becomes learned. 1t matters
very little what he undertakes, Latin,
Greek, Hebrew, Sanskrit, all disappear
if he uses his spare time on them.
A boy was employed in lawyers
office, and had the daily paper to
amuse himself with. He commenced
to study French, and at that little desk
became fluent reader and writer of
the French language. He accomplished
this by laying aside the newspaper,
and taking up something not so anus
ing, but far more profitable.
A coachman was often obliged to
wait long hours while his mistress made
calls. He determined to improve the
time he found a small volume con-
tanning the Eclogues of Virgil, but
could not read it, and so purchased Il
Latin Grammar. Day by day he studied
this, and finally mastered all its in
tricacies. His mistress came behind
him one day as he stood by the horses
waiting for her, and asked him what
he was so intently reading. ''Only a
bit of Virgil, my LADY, "What, do you
read Latin 2" "A little, my lady" She
mentioned this to her husband, who
insisted that David should have a
teacher to instruct him. In few years
he became learned man, and was a
useful and loved minister in Scotland.
A boy was hired to open and shut
the gates to let the teams out of an
iron mine. He sat on log all day by
the side of the gate. Sometimes an
hour would pass before the teams came,
and this he employed so well that there
was scarcely any fact in history that
his attention. He began with
a little book on English history that he
found in the road having learned that
thoroughly, he borrowed of Il minister
History of Greece. This
good man became greatly interested in
him, and loaned him books, and was
often seen sitting by him on the log
with him about the people
of ancient times.
All of these show that in this country
any one can learn that wants to. If he
is at work he still has three hours he
can call his own. Let him use those
wisely, and he can fill his mind with
stores of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Com

clergymen like the stand-bys.

The simple presence of such persons
i'm the church is of itself to every min
istef a powerful help and encourage
ment. He is glad, of course, to see new
faces coming in from time to time. The
poor mother, the standby at home,
who has a breakfast and husband and
half a dozen children to get ready in
the morning, so that she herself can
come out only now and then, whenever
she does come is seen with pleasure.
The young men of his flock, flowers of
the kingdom, whose eyes and religious
natures open usually only in the latter
part of the day, but who occasionally
under the inspiration of new suit of
Sunday clothes blossom out in the fore
noon, excite in him, till he learns bet
ter, a CLEAN of hope. The religious
casual, the small and infrequent wor-
shipper described by Horace, owning a
pew but occupying it so seldom that
when he does use it it has to be found
for him by the sexton, is not by any
means unwelcome; and there is always
an inspiration of some sort in the great
crowd of strangers who appear Sunday
nights when it has been advertised that
he is going to speak on the kingdom of
Satan, or the dOings of the devil, or the
sowing of wild oats, or some kindred
theme. But after all it is the stand-bys,
the men-usually old ones-and the
women living often farthest from the
church, who are absolutely sure of be-
ing in their places punctually every
Sunday, Thanksgiving and even Fast
day, whatever the season or the wealth
er or the subject may be,-these that
he looks upon with special delight and
finds to be the fountains of his greatest
earthly nsPiratiOn.-S Sunday A ftermOOn.

An English exchange says that her
Majesty sent special instructions to the
bridesmaids at the late wedding of her
son, the Duke of Connauhgt, that they
would not be permitted to wear these
fringes, or high heels to their boots,
nor to tie their dresses back in the
present most uncomfortable and in
delicate fashion. Victoria deserves the
thanks of every intelligent mother in
the land. The same paper says, 'Last
year one lady appeared at Drawing
Room with her hair over her eyes. The
next day she received a message from
Lord Chamberlain informing her that
until her hair had grown she would not
be required to attend any more Draw
ing ROoms.-ZiOn's Herald.

In the Black Maria.

Not long ago lad of nineteen came
up from the country to one of the sea-
board cities, and secured position in
large and well-knOwn importing house.
He was gentle, blue-eyed young fell
low, almost wOmanish in his tastes, and
in his love for his home and his family.
Unfortunately he had no friends in
the city. His evenings were passed Id
absolute solitude, or in the vulgar So
ciety of cheap boarding house.
The boy became depressed, gloomy.
He fancied he needed "bracing up,n
and fell into the habit of dropping into
a cheerful restaurant for a glass of
wine.
He soon made friends there who
would join him in bottle. AS with
most men not accustomed to intoxica-
ting liquor, he was maddened by a
little.
One night, being drunk, he quarreled
with his companion, and stabbed him
with knife which laid on the table.
The wound was not serious, but the
lad was arrested and kept in the police
station until morning.
He was then led out (being now sober
and in his right mind) and ordered to
get into the prison van (known to the
town as the Black Maria,) which wait
ed to convey him to prison. He shud-
dered and turned CHASTITY pale, mutter-
ing
"What will my father say ?"
But he was thrust in and the door
locked. There was no one else in the
van. When they reached the gate of
the prison, the door was opened. The
boy lay dead beside it, the blood from
the throat clotted the face which his
mother so lately had kissed.
This is an absolutely true story. 1t
teaches, of course, to young men the
madness of tasting that first glass OF
liquor, of yielding to the temptations
which beset friendless boys on every
side IN a great city. But has it nc
meaning to those older men, Christians
and fathers, who leave such lads with
out a friend, and put out no kindly
hand to hold them back from tempta,

Our Daughters.

Perhaps one of the most lamentable
errors of the present day is the manner
in which our girls are trained. While
proud and happy parents are DESTROYS
that their daughters be accomplished in
music, drawing, painting and the Ian
guages, they seem to totally ignore the
more necessary arts of housekeeping
and home making, or to imagine the
knowledge Ofsuch to be degrading. We
know of no more pitiable object than a
young wife placed at the head of the
husbands home, utterly ignorant of her
duties as its mistress. Trials, well cal
culated to make life miserable, await
her, and many of the unhappy mar
riages, of which we know and hear.
have their origin in just such causes |;
for while men are loving and indulgent.
they are selfish, and but few have suffi-
cient self-denial to bear patiently the
mistakes that interfere so materially
with their comforts.
A girl who has been raised in a well
regulated and orderly household, can
not understand the misfortunes of such
wives as we speak of. 1t is not only a
knowledge of housekeeping which is so
essential to the well-being of a family.
but 1T is equally necessary to be thor
oughly acquainted with the art of home
making. 1t does not do for the wife
and mother to limit her efforts to the
wants only-physical, mental and moral
OF the family. She must understand
how to keep her house clean and order
iy when and by what means her house
became filled with impure air. She
must know what kinds of food are east
est digested, which kinds nutritious.

edge of philosophy and chemistry. Then,
TOO, she must understand how to make
clothing suitable for winter and sum.

must be familiar with the science 81

SAD RESULT OF Matthew,
Rankins of Lewiston, Al years old, has
been confined to one chair for % years.
When a school-boy, 90 years ago, a
companion tripped him up and in fall
ing, his spine was hurt. For two years
after the accident he was able to walk
around some, then he lost the use of
his legs and finally his whole body be-
came rigid. His fingers and toes are
all disjointed, the only material joint in
his body being in one thumb. He can
use his hands and ankles little, and
his eyes and lounge fully. When he
sleeps, his low rocking-chair is simply
tipped back and he is covered with a

by which he reads and
writes great deal, and he seems as
