Some Mems Wives.
New York Journal of Commerce

kNcW 1OTK JOUI08l OF commerce.
Il tell you what it is - said one of a small
cOterie or wealthy men who had met in the
Office OF one of their nnmber, ''they may say
what they please about the uselessness of
modern women, but~my wife has done her
share in securing our success in life. Every
body knows that her family was aristocratic,
and exclusive, and all that, and when mar
ried her she had never done q days work in
her life; but when w. & Co. failed and I
had to commence at the foot of the hill
again, she discharged the servants and chose
out neat little cottage, and did her own
housekeeping unlil was better off again."
''And my wife," said a second, Twas an
only daughter, caressed and petted to death;
and everybody said, We'll, he will marry
doll like that, he'll make the greatest mistake
of his life;' but when l came home the first
year OF our marriage sick with fever, she
nursed me back to health, and / never knew
her to murmur because l thought we couldn't
afford any better style or more luxuries."
swell, gentlemen, chimed in third, II
married smart, healthy, pretty girl, but she
was a regular blue-stocking. She adored
Tennyson, doated on Byron, read Emerson,
and named the first baby Ralph Waldo and
the second Maud: but l tell you what tbs"
and the speakers eyes grew suspiciously
moist, "when we laid little Maud in her last
bed at Auburn, my poor wife had no remem-
brance of neglect or stinted mothely care,
and the little dresses that still lie in the
locked drawer were all made by her own
hands,"

How M1lliOnaIres lvest Their Money.

New York Correspondence Of Rochester Democrat
1t is surprising that money lenders are 80
indispOsed to accept Out-of-town securities.
Such, however, is the case, and hence, while
millions are waiting investment, lenders will
not notice applications from the country.
One journal advertises nearly 81, ,O00 600, but
city security is wanted. Nearly one-half the
above sum is offered by one broker, who rep
resents several large estates. Heavy loans
on the very best property can be had at 5 per
cent but on second-rate property, such as
tenement houses, livery stables, ETC., 6 per
cent is demanded The Astors do not lend on
mortgage, but prefer Governments. The rea-
son is found in their objection to appearing
in the public prints as. parties to foreclosure
suits. Other prominent capitalists. such as
James Lenox, Peter Goelet and Robert L.
Stuart, adopt similar policy. They pur-
chase frst-class railway bonds in large sums;
also city bonds, the issue of which amounts
to $120, 600, 900. This personal property is
very carefully kept. The Astors have large
safe, which is always guarded. It probably
contains $25, ,00O, 900 of such securities. The
Safe Security Company probably has $780,
OOO, 600 in its care, and here no robbery or
defalcation has ever been known. There is
probably $500, 600, 900 of personal property
held in this city, almost all of which escapes
taxation. This estimate does not include
merchandise, hut simply capital.

A Boy with . Heart.

The other day bit of a boy called at the
side door of good-looking farm residence
and told such sorrowful story that the lady
was not stingy in throwing provisions into
his basket. Happening to look into the front
yard after few minutes, she saw the
strange boy mixed up with her three or four
children, and she called out:
"Boy, what are you doing here?"
"Feed'n these half starved children!" he
promptly replied.
''But those are my children!" she indig-
nantly exclaimed.
''Makes no difference to me-" he said. as
he broke off another piece of cake, "when
find young 'un crying for bread, and ready
to swear that he hasn't tasted pie for over q
year, I'm goin' to stop business and brace
him up! Haven't you got clean waist
which ! could put on this dirty little boy.
She looked up and down to see if any can
vassers for the poor heather were in sight,
and then she grabbed up the broom and ran
the sympathetic boy out of the yard.

INDlRECTION.

THE LATE RICHARD RsAIr. IN ATLANTIC MONTHLY.
Fair the flowers and the children but their subtle
suggestion is farer;
Rare is the rOeeburSt of dawn, but the secret that
Sweet the exutance Of song but the strain that pre-
cedes 1t Is sweeter;
And never was poem yet writ but the meaning out
mastered the meter.
Never dasy that grows, but mystery guideth the
growing;
Never river that flows, but majesty scepters the
Never Shakespeare that scared but stronger than
Nor prophet foretels. but mighter seer hath
foretOld him
Back of the canvas that throbs the painter hinted
and hidden;
Into the that breathes the soul of the sculptor
is bidden;
Under joy that is felt lie the infinite issues Of feel
ing;
Crownine the glory revealed is the glory that crowns
the revealing.
Great the symbols of being but that which is sym
Vast the create and beheld but vaster the inward
creator;
Back of the sound broods the sence back of the gift
Back Of the hand that receives thrill the sensitive
nerves of receiving.
Space Is as nothing to spirit the deed is outdone by
The heart of the warm but warmer the heart
And up from the pits where these shiver and up from
the heights where those shine,
Twin voices and shadows swim etarward. and the
essence of life is divine.

Her M lSt0ke.
Detroit Free Press.l

In going down Michigan avenue on the car
yesterday woman partly rose up at street
corner. and one of the men across the aisle at
once sprang up and pulled the bell. The
woman pulled her shawl around her and sat
down again, and after the car had waited
quite spell the man remarked:
II rang the bell to let you off"
But l don't get off here" she replied.
swell, you rose up as if to ring the bell,
and I pulled it for you" he continued. ''The
car has stopped, and the driver expects some
one to get out.
''Ididn't want the bell rung," she answered.
81 see you didn't, now, but as long as you
led me into the mistake. it is only right that
ycu should get off. The driver is looking
right at you. and his Car is losing time"
The woman rose up and walked off with
out another word, and the man sat down and
paid not the least attention to the amazed
looks OF the passengers.

Mr.. Manson, Gil Shanklin, Democratic can

oysters at an eating place, at Lafayette, on g
Thursday night, when Manson said: ''Shank-

from male one ?" mo, Mr.. Manson, I can
not" replied Shanklin, and cooking his eye
glass on his dexter optic, said, "Can your"
eyes, stoutly spoke up Manson. ''You feed
the young birds with angle worms, and the
male birds will invariably eat the male worms
'But how IN the happy land; Manson: can
''Shanklin," solemnly said Manson, II was

Just then the oysters arrived and were eaten
in silent meditation.
