PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

There are remedies for all things but
death.
Virtue has many preachers, but few
martyrs.
There is no charity in helping man
who will not help himself.
Would you respect yourself, keep
your heart and body clean.
Would you retain the love of q
friend, do not be too selfshly exact
ing.
There are those for whom money
does everything except to make honor
able men OF them.
The truly great man undertakes a
thing because it is great; the fool, be-
cause he thinks it is easy.
Above every other feature which
adorns the female character, delicaoy
stands foremost within the province of
good taste.
We can never have much confidence
ID the uprightness of others until we
have discovered some degree of up
iightness il ourselves.
This wish falls often warm upon my
heart, that 1 may learn nothing that I
cannot continue in the other world;
that may do nothing here but deeds
that will bear fruit in heaven.
The beginning of hardship is like the
first taste of bitter food-it seems for q
moment unbearable; yet, if there is
nothing else to satisfy our hunger, we
take another bite and find it possible
to go on.
If you want knowledge you must toll
for it; if food, you must toll for it, and
il pleasure. you must toll for it. Toll
is the law. Pleasure comes through
toll, and not by self-indulgenoe and
ndolence. When one gets to love
work his life is hanpv one.

Dead Mems Shoes.

A few years ago decrepit old man
crept around the shabby precincts Of
Southern town, of whom q singular
story was told.
He was the last male ascendant Of q
family to whom belonged large estates.
His uncle was the last possessor. He
died without children. The property
was bequesthed by him to his wife dur
ing her life, and at her death to this
nephew, then lad Of fifteen.
The wealthy widow was at this time
fifty years old, and by no means healthy,
but she heartily disliked the heir, .and
refused to recognize him, or give him
any immediate assistance.
But the boy congratulated himself
with the assurance that she could not
keep his inheritance from him OF her
death, and that probably her death was
not far of.
Fifty appears old age to fifteen.
Hence, although the lads mother was
poor, he studied no profession and
learned no trade. Indeed, he troubled
himself very little about education OF
any sort. Why should he drudge over
books or in any kind Of buainessP His
fortune waited ready made for him.
Years passed. The lad became o
young, middle-aged man; husband
and father. He had married merce.
nary girl, whose eyes were dszzled with
this vast prospective fortune. The two
plunged into extramgsnces of every
sort. Creditors at first were lenient.
The aunt was now gray, toothless old
woman. The fortune was surely near at
hand. But the patience Of creditors ia
not as enduring as the lives of even the
aged, and at last even hopeful creditors
refused to extend their accounts.
Then the crash came. The heir fell
into hopeless poverty. His children
died. His wife left him. He went
about the town, gambling little, drink.
ing good deal, "cursing his luck"
always, but never working.
The aunt lived on. The heir grew
old, became a paralytio, and finally was
sent to tie almshouse, where. aftei
waiting for years for the woman's shoes
who would not die, he dropped hope.
lessly ont Of an empty lifo into the
grave. The woman lived to be one
hundred and three years old, and at hei
death the estate went to the State oi
Tennessee.
We do not often find case OF wait.
ing for "dead mems shoes" 80 extrema
as this. But in degree, the same effect
is produced whenever the heirs oi
wealthy parents are brought up without
any profession or practical work.
Their youth passes in idleness, wait.
ing for death to make rich men of them,
and out of the idleness too frequently
grow dissipation and corrupt character.
II, as is often the case, the fortune takes
wings before they gain possession of 1t.
they are left stranded and helpless
wrecks in lfe.-YoMks COMPANION.

How much New York owes to Del
monico for improvement in resbsurants,
says the Detroit Free Press correspond,
emit, it would not be easy TO reckon up,
There were very few sush places in the
city when he began, but then the city
itself was not of much account. Nov
there are restaurants of one kind OF
another on every hand. Leaving the
stylish ones aside, 7 may say word
about the others. These are of two
classes; the restaurant where a good,
well-cooked meal may be made up from
the bill Of fare at q cost of seventy-five
cents to dollar, and the one where a
table d'hote dinner is served on about
the same terms. In the former, the
charge for various meats, except what
is cooked to order, averages about forty
cents. For each kind of vegetables,
except potatoes, which generally go
with the meat, it is either ten or fifteen
cents. Dessert costs fifteen cents, and
coffee ten cents. A very good dinner
can be had at one of these places for 81.
The cheaper restaurants, where forty or
fifty cents will purchase a pretty fair
meal, are farmore numerous and equally
well patronized; they are to be found
on Broadway, as we'll as in the Bowery
and the lower part of Chatham street.
The third grade, where the outlay for q
meal does not generally exceed twenty
five cents, may be found all over the
city.
Mechanics and clerks working on low
salary are their principal customers.
The best Of these places are not over
inviting in appearance. and persons not
accustomed to them need good appe-
tites to brace them for the ordeal OF
taking meal. The best of the table
d'hote establishments are kept by
Frenchmen and Italians. The latter
have, in fact, outstripped the former in
this line of catering. They seem to
have a special aptitude for it, and they
have met with very great success. The
cost of dinner at the better class Of
table d'hote houses is 81. For this sum,
four or five courses, with wine, dessert,
and coffee are given. The wine is Or
dinary table claret, and usually the
cheapest in the market. Taken as n
whole though, the dinner is pretty
good and worth the money. Other
places furnish a dinner on the same plan
for seventy-fve cents. The quality is
not quite SO good, but man with fair
appetite may enjoy it just as we'll.
Others again set ont table d'hote for
fifty cents. and get pretty large custom
too. Then there are German restaur-
ants where regular dinner, consisting
of soup, meats, dessert and coffee, is
also given for fifty cents, and in some
cases rs low rs twenty-five cents. In
passing through German neighborhoods,
I have seen the sign, Irregular dinner
for twenty-five cents" set ont in many
places.

A Sharper's Trick.

An Erie railroad conductor, in his
"reminiscences about sharpers, tells this
story:
"Ten years ago one of the boss card
sharps vas a young fellow known as
sRed Shirt He was from Scranton.
He was the one who invented the tissue
patent racket with cards. His plal was
to get M quiet game of euohre lth q
party Of fellows in smoking car. After
they'd played along while Red Shirt
would say:
"'Well, blamed if 7 amt got Just
about the best little poker hand you
ever saw
Whenever he'd say that, you could
make up your mind that some ore else
a playing had about rs good poker
hand y you ever saw. It was always
four aces. Tho man that held th, four
aces wouldn't fail to speak out, and
reckon be had hand II wasn't easy to
beat. Then Red Shirt would say:
"S'pose we make little bet lst
for The fun o the thing
ga man that holds four aces amt
going to throw away chance OF that
kind. They bet. They raise one another,
and Red Shirt knows about when it will
be good time to quit, and then he calls
"'Pye got four aces says t'other
man.
"'Let's see 'ern, says Red Shirt.
"The cards are shown up, Red Shirt
takes 'em up.
"Aw, here now,' he says, as he puts
his hand on the money on the board,
what you doin', tryin' to come your
New York games on mo ? and he gives
one O. the cards & rub with his thumb
and shoves little piece of paper of
each end of the card, and there's tray
spot. Red Shirt lays down four of q
kind, or full, or. anything thaPll beat
three of kind, and before the man can
recover from his astonishment, has the
money in his pocket and is of the cars,
for he never failed to time the game for
stop of the train at some station.
"Red Shirts name was Jack Brown.
There probably never was his superior
as three-card-monte man, either, and
he was regular worker OF county fairs
and races when the railroads got too hot
for him. He died of consumption, He
was hard dr;nker and fast liver"
