Oaks from AcOrns.

About fifty years ago, Jewish gen
tlemap of wealth entertained one day at
dinner the leading men of his race in
Philadelphia. The banquet was delight
full, and the guests were in high good
humor.
Let us remember the poor and sick OF
our people, said one wealthy merchant,
dropping piece of gold into his goblet.
1t passed around the table and was full
when it returned.
The host poured out the glittering
heap. We'll done, he saidl' he said; Il
invite you all here this day year hence,
if you will promise to remember the
poor as nobly.'
The banquet was repeated and 80 YVES
the contribution. Out of this petty be-
ginning grew the great Hebrew benef.
ciary societies of Pennsylvania, which
care for every needy member of the race
in the State, and whose charities have
amounted to millions. They still hold
their annual dinner in memory Of their
beginning.
Another instance of great good grow
ing out of small opportunity well i'm
proved, is the story of home for Grip
pied and deformed children founded by
a pastor in France
An American lady visited it many
years ago, and WAS much Interested in
this good man and his work. After the
Franco. Prussian war, she read in q
French paper that owing to the univer-
sal poverty, contributions to this home
had almost ceased, and the house would
soon be closed.
She was herself poor woman, and a
helpless invalid; but she wrote a simple
account of the home as she had seen it,
and sent it to leading magazine. The
pathos of the story caused 1t to be
copied into an English paper. 1t was
read by man of great benevolence and
wealth, who visited the home, and at
once took means of re-establishing it
upon an enlarged and secure basis.
'The words that speak to-day says
the Persian poet, shall not the echoes
come back to me hereafter from every
corner of the world

A Trick of the Picture Dealers.

The American dealer calls at the stu
dio of Monsieur Chose, let us say, and
finds him hard at work. Got anything
for sale?' he asks. NO. Everything
sold, says monsieur, hardly taking his
ewes from his easel. Whats this?' asks
the dealer, looking at rough. unfinish
cd sketch which had been turned with
it's face to the wall. Nothing. That's
no good 'What will you take for it?'
asks the dealer. What do you want to
do with it?' asks the artist. Want it for
the New York market. I will give you
five hundred francs for it, il you will
out your name to it, 'That'sa bargain.
says Monsieur Chose. He puts his name
to it and receives his money. The deal
or brings the canvas to New York, pays
some young painter of talent, say hun
dred dollars, to finish the picture in i'm
itation of the artists style. The picture
is duly pulled and finally goes into the
private gallery of Mr.. Shoddy as the
chef d oeuure of that great French artist
Monsieur Chose.

A SINGULAR Occurrence In Texas.

A man named AIKEN, living seven
miles northwest OF Clifton, Texas. was
blowing in his field a few days ago.
when he heard dull, rumbllng sound
like that of stones falling in WAGER. Sud.
denly his horse leaped to the left and
began furious run, and before Mr.. A.
could understand the phenomenon the
earth gave way under him and he went
down a distance of twenty feet into a
cold stream. Mr.. A. began to struggle
against the rapid tide and gained the
bank, along which he CROPPED his way to
the place in which he fell, sometimes on
dry rocks and again into eddies waist
deep, but finally placing his feet on ter
"a firma. A party went on the following
day and explored the channel distance
of several hundred yards either way. The
stream is represented as being ten feet
wide by four or five deep, the whole
passage being about eighteen feet wide
by eight or ten feet in depth.

A Swedish Plan to Lessen IntOxicatiOn.

The 'Gothenburg plan for the regu-
lation of the sale OF intoxicating liquors,
which has so often been referred to, is
still in successful operation in Sweden.
This plan was started in 1864, in Goth
enburg, town of 80, 900 inhabitants
A committee reported that it was neces.
sary to reorganize the liquor traffic on
an entirely new principle, viz: that no
individual as proprietor or manager
under license from the State should
derive any private gain from the sale OF
liquor, Au association formed by the
lending citizens OF the town, organized
as limited liability company, raised
sufficient capital to purchase all the pub
lie houses for the sale of liquor, and
conducted their business in the interest
of sobriety instead of excess. The prof
it made from the sale Of liquor, to DO
drank on the premises, was TO be paid
over entire to the public treasury OF the
town. At first the licenses to grocers
and other dealers, for the sale Of liquors
in certain quantities not to be drank on
the premises, were sold by auction, the
proceeds being also passed over to the
public treasury. A few years after@ard
a movement, originating among the
working classes, who made the chief
use of the privilege of buying from these
latter shops by clubbing together and
getting supply to divide among them =
selves, petitioned the authorities to SO
amend the law as to give the control OF
this trade also to the association, which
was done. In 1864 the police cases OF
drunkenness had averaged 6.10 per
cent, and in 1870 they had diminished
to 2 50 per cent. At the same time the
amount paid into the city treasury Is go
considerable an assistance to the taxpay-
ers as not to be despised, though with
the successful increase of the system it
is constantly diminishing.

The Two Burdens.

Over the deep sea Love came flying;
Over the salt sea Love flew signing.
Alas, oh Love for thy journeying wings!
Through turbid light and sound Of thunder
When one wave lifts and one falls under,
Love flew as q bird flies straight for warm
springs.
Love reached the Northland, and found his
own; ..
With budding roses, and roses blown,
And wonderful lilies, he wove their wreath.
His voice was sweet as a tune that wells,
Gathers and thunders, and throbs and swels,
And fails and lspses in raptnrous death.
His hands divided the tangled boughs;
They sat and loved in moist green house,
With bird-songs and sunbeams 1alterlng
through;
One note of wind to each least light leaf:
Oh Love, those days they were sweet but trlef,
Sweet as the rose is, and feet rs the Gew.
Over the deep sea Death came flying;
Over the salt sea Death flew signing.
Love heard from afar the rush Of his wings,
Felt the blast of them over the sea,
And turned his face whore the shadows be,
And wept for sound Of disastrous things.
Death reached the Northland, and claimed
his own;
With pale sweet flowers by wet winds blown
He wove for the forehead Of one wreath
His voice was sad as the wind that signs
Through cypress-trees under rainy skies,
When the dead leaves drift on the paths
beneath.
His hands divided the tangled boughs;
One Love he bore to dark deep house,
Where never bridegroom may clasp his
bride
A place OF silence, of dust, and sleep.
What vigi. there shall the loved one keep,
Or what cry of longing the lips divide?
