TOO poon TO TAKE APAPElt.


Moore, of the Rural New Yorker,
was sitting in his office one afternoon
come years ago, when a farmer friend
came in and said: s..iMr. Moore, like
to take your paper, but times are SO
hard cannot pay for it, .54f..sE,
els that so, friend Jones2 Pm very
sorry to hear that You are so spoor; il
you are SO hard run Iswill give you

eyes, few; but they. don't bring
anything, hardly aua e4ia sltoaa
"Don't they2 Neither does my pa

1 will continue your paper, and when
you 60 home you may select from
your lot one chicken and call her mine.
Take good care of her and bring mo
the proceeds, whether in eggs or
chickens, and we will call it square,"
Call right, brother Moore" and the
fellow chuckled at what he thought
capital bargain, He kept the contract
strictly, and at the end of the year
found that he had paid about four
prices for the paper. He often tells
the joke himself, and he never had the
face to say he was too poor. to take a
paper since that day.

.
Needle-work is thus gracefully eu-
logized by Nathaniel Hawthorne, in
+" Marble Faun,' - i7fh'f t'iaat
There is something exquisitely
pleasant and touching-at least of a
very sweet, soft and winning effect
in this popularity of needle-work, dis
tingnishing men from women. Our
own sex is incapable of any such by
play aside from the main business of
life; but women, be they of whatever
rank they may, however gifted with
intellect or genius, or endowed with
artfnl beauty-have always some little
handiwork ready to fill up the tiny
gap of every vacant moment. A nee;
die is familiar to the fingers of them
all. A queen, no doubt, plies it on
occasions the woman-poet can dse it
as adroitly as her pen; the woman's
eye that has discovered a new star,
turns from its glory to send the pol
ished little instrument cleaning along
the hem of her kerchief, or to darn a
casual flaw in her dress. And they
have the advantage of US in this re-
spect. The slender thread of silk or
cotton keeps them united with the
small, familiar, gentle interests of life,
the continually operating influences
do much for the health of the charac-
ter, and carry off what would other
wise be q dangerous accumulation of
morbid sensibility. A vast deal. of
human sympathy runs along this elec-
trio line, stretching from the throne to
the wicker chair of the humblest
s.amstress, and high and low in a
species of common union with their
kindred beings. Methinks it is token
of healthy and gentle characteristics
when women of accomplishments and
high thoughts love to sew, especially
as they are never more at home with
their own hearts than wnen so occu-
pied.

ANDREW JACKsoN,s vow.

Shortly after the occupation of Pen
sacola and the expulsion of the Span
ish authorities from Florida by Gen.
Jackson, Mr.. Edward Palfrey, an old
citizen of New Orleans, now dead,
was wont to relate that while standing
behind the counter of the National
Bank, his attention was attracted to a
group of military officers who entered
the bank and inquired for the cashier.
The chief of the party was q man OF
gaunt, stern-featnres, spare and wasted

THE SILVER LINING.
There's never a day so sunny
But q little cloud appears;

There's never day so sunny
But little cloud appears;
There's never, life so happy
But has had its time OF tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There's never garden growing
-i.. With r. scs I'm every plot;
There's never q heart so hardened.
But IL has one tender spot;
We have only to prune the border,
To find the forget-me-not.
There's never a cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There's never n path SO rugged
That bears not the prints of feet;
And we have u helper promised
For the trials VIC may meet.
There's never a sun that rises
But we know twill set at night;
The tints that CLEAN in the morning,
At evening are just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
Is between the dark and light.
There's never 4 dream that's happy
But the waking makes us sad;
There's never dream of sorrow
!. Bat the waking makes us glad;
We shall look some day with wonder
At the troubles we have had.
There's never n way so narrow
But the entrance is made straight;
There's always guide to point us
To the little wicket gate;"
And the angels will be nearer
To soul that is desolate.
There's never heart SO naughty
But viii some day bow and kneel;
There's never heart so wounded
That the Savior cannot heal;
There's many q lowly forehead
That Is bearing the hidden seal.

LIFE NEW MEXICO.


New Mexico has . brilliant climate,
one could hardly desire better, but
there are incidents about that climate.
A gentleman built handsome frame
house in Central New Mexico, and
took his family to live in it. 1t came
winter, and fire was regularly built
in the kitchen stove. One day the cat
was about TO get under the stove, &C.
cording to the custom OF it's kind, when
it was observed to give jump of an
unusual altitude, and a number of elo-
quent snarls. Investigation showed
rattlesnake curled up under and en-
loving the heat of the stove. The
snake was killed, but the next day an
other one appearedin the same place.
This thing was kept up for some days.
A snake was killed every day. Finally
one was found in the gentleman's bed.
He watched to see where they came
from and in the endsatisfied himself on
this point. Breaking away the wooden
plank which lined the wall at the
junction OF the floor in the kitchen, he
came upon a nest in the wainscOting.
Emigrants never eleep on the ground
in New Mexico. Another pleasant
feature of the climate is to wake
up in the middle of the. night and
hear centipede scratching over the
counterpane. These ugly little devils
leave dark red trails on the flesh they
crawl over. Tarantulas are quite so
ciable fellows in this happy country.
In handling old tapestry or window
curtains, you are very likely to put
your fingers on q centipede or taran-
tula.

MEN OF / ESN8 n u H N
Probably no city in the world out.
side Of London and Paris, says tht
Wall Street Daily News, can show as
much private wealth as the city oI
New York. The richest man in Eng
land at present, is the Duke of West
minister, whose income from. London
property alone is estimated at f400, ,00O
His rural land estate yields some
100000 more. His total income from
real and personal estate aggregates
fabout S3,5OO,O0O. Great as is this in
come it does not come up to the in
come enjoyed by John Jacob Astor
and william H., Vanderbilt, New
York chief millionaires. The Astor
fortune at present real estate values is
estimated at not less than $4,000 ,O0O.
while Mr.. Vanderbilt represents the
largest accumulation of private wealth
in America. Mr.. Vanderbilt's yearly
income exceeds $5,OOOOOO.
The late Rothschild of Paris left q
fortune of LOCO, 100000 francs ($2OO,-
0O0.OO0). 1t must, however, be re-
membered that the enormous wealth
of the Rothschilds belongs to different
members of house or firm, while
William Fl. Vanderbilt is practically
sole owner of the great properties and
vast estates bequeathed him by his
father. Jay Gould now ranks high
among New York millionaires. He
is estimated at $25,OO00O0, and bids
fair, if he lives ten Or fifteen years
longer, to double bis present fortune.
Take all in all, Jay Gould to-day is
probably the shrewdest railroad man.
ager and the boldest speculative op-.
orator in these United States.
Edward 81. Green represents anoth-
er great railroad fortune, estimated at
over $2O,OOO.OOO. He is chief owner of
the great Louisville and Nashville
combination, and is said to practically
control that road. Henry Hilton can
be safely put down at $4,000, COO. In
April, 1876, Cornelia M. Stewart, wild
ow of the late A. T. Stewart, trans
ferred to Mr.. Hilton all her interest in
the firm of A. T. Stewart & Co. Wise
Investments during the period of de-
preston have, it is said, greatly swol
len Mr.. Hilton's wealth. Besides the
we'll known men of wealth at the head
of our Knickerbocker families, such IS
the Rhinelanders, Hamersleys, Scher-
merhorns, Stevenses, Lenoxes, ETC., all
representing vast landed estates in
this city, we wave great number of
minor millionaires, worth from one to
two millions, who live and die without
attracting any particular attention, un-
less they have something beside money
to signalize them.
Crossing the Atlantic again, Frank
fort-on-the- Main, with a population of
about 100000, is reputed to be the rich
est city of its size in the whole world.
It is asserted that there are 100 Frank
forters worth from $4OOO,OOO to $5,-
100000 each, and $50 who are worth
81, 100000 and upward. This city is
one of tho great banking centers of the
globe. Its aggregate banking capital
is estimated at $500, ,OOO, ,OO0-more than
one-fourth Of which the Rothschilds,
whose original and parent house is
there, own and control.
