The Philosophers Stone.

The venerable philanthropist, Pc
ter Cooper, whose uinetieth birth
day occurred last Saturday, gives
the following as the rule of long
and usefnl life: 81 have made it the
rule of my life never to run in debt.
When j began business l resolved
that would never place myself al
the mercy of banks and to my strict
adherance to that rule | attribute
my success, which has been great
much greater than l ever antlcipa-
ed. To my people up in the Insti
tute-young men and women-I al
continually saying, never run is
debt, pay as you 60"
This is good advice. The same
principle was lenunciated by JohU
Randolph, of Roanoke, when ht
rose in his place in the House Of
Representatives and exclaimed
"Mr. Speaker, j have found the phil
osopher's stone. 1t is to pay as
you CO."

Some Married Women
AND SOME OF THEIR MEAN HusBAN1

AND SOME OF THEIR MEAN HUSBANDS
Says an Iowa paper: Only short
time ago, while we sat in an Osceola
store, we saw man and his wife from
the country at the counter trading. The
woman had the appearance of being a
Woodworking, industrious, intelligent
lady. She was examining piece of
calico or other cheap dress goods. The
clerk said 4:
Shall cut you off ten yards ?"
The pale faced, overworked woman
turned to her husband and in timid,
frightened manner asked her husband
if she might buy the dress, as she need
ed it, and the cost would be less than o
dollar.
"No," he grunted,-'1 can't afford
it." and yet he had just paid for
great plug of navy and paper or two
of smoking tobacco.
The poor lly-clad but neat woman
subsidized as though this was no new ex-
perience, while her rough, course and
animal husband bit off a mouthful of the
weed and ordered her to get ready for
home.
Often before we have witnessed SINH
lar scenes, and we can never, therefore,
entertain any feeling of admiration for
such man. In what respect is the con-
dition of many married woman better
than slave ? She works hard year after
year, and has roof over her head, and
she is provided with food so is the
slave. She must beg her "master" for
little pittance with which to buy the
clothing for herself and children. The
slave master looks after such wants of
his chattel without their asking. She
has no freedom or independence she
dare not buy single article at the store
till she gets the consent of the tyrant
whom the civil law has made her hus-
band. She can have no will about even
household affairs that her husband dis
approves of she is a slave In both body
and mind during his life, and at his
death, il she survives him, she cannot,
under the unjust and tyrannical laws of
nearly all the countries in the world,
sell the property which she has helped
to accumulate, nor control her own chill
dren without employing q lawyer and
getting a special permit from the court.
The laws of Iowa deal more Justly
with women than any other State per-
haps in the Union, but they are suscep-
tible of great improvement. Tins great
State contains fewer tyrannical husbands
such as we have above alluded to, but
there are good women in Clarke county,
and in every county in the State, who,
though, Woodworking, frugal and intel
ligent, and who helped to accumulate
every dollar that their husbands call
their property, are yet little better than
slaves-being compelled to plead like
beggars of their husbands for even few
cents or dollars with which to buy some
of the commonest necessaries os life. A
gentleman can always be distinguished
from petty, niggardly tyrant by the
way he refuses to dictate to his wife in
all the little affairs which aught to be
entirely under her control.

A LAUNDERING PRICE FOR
BEANS.
The Value of st. Julien.

Orrin Hickok, the owner of st. Julien,
says: "The great value which l attach
to the horse causes me to keep a sharp
eye on him. The hostlers 1 employ to
attend him have the strictest orders and
are competent horsemen. st. Julien is
never left alone, either day or night, and
two of the hostlers remain steadily with
him in his stall. He has passed a good
winter in California, the climate there
being excellent. The change ia the
weather in the East is not favorable,
and makes it necessary to keep him in
his stall all the time, except when he is
taken out to be exercised, and then he
Is only walked at slow gait in the
yard surrounding the stables. AS long
as the present cold snap remains there
will be no change in the horses move
ments, as do not care to take any risk
whatever. He gets good food, has a
good appetite and is gaining considera-
bly, in weight. AS you see we try to
keep him neat and tidy at all times, as
he should be, as only then an animal
can be admired"
'"There must be a heavy expense in
transporting st. Julien ?" suggested the
reporter.
"Yes, heavy one," was the reply.
81 had to pay 81, 200 for a special horse
car from San Francisco to Detroit for
him, besides full fare for myself and my
two hostlers. There are also many in
cidental expenses incurred regularly,
which foot up to large figure at the
end of the season.
"What do you estimate the value of
st. Julien at ?" asked the reporter, who
remarked that this might be leading
question.
Mr.. Hickok smilingly said "Well,
really don't know. It is hard to tell.
The horse is a very valuable one, and /
could not say what would be asked for
him."
"Have you had any offers for him
yet?"
"Yes, sir, two of them last season.
We were offered $45, 600 in cash each
time, but refused"
''Then you think he is worth more
than that %
"Well, I think so.
"What do you expect from him this
season ?"
al expect that he will sweep every
thing before him at least, I will try
hard to do it. He has never been beaten
on this continent. and stands to-day with
record of 2:11;. 1 will trot him
against any horse that can be produced
for any sum"

Bogus Pension Agents.

A Connecticut exchange says that a
person of commanding appearance and
of polished address has been in that
vicinity representing himself as United
States detective looking after fraudulent
pension claims, and protesting to be able
to procure pensions at short notice
After working himself into the good
graces of persons who believe themselves
entitled to pensions, and gathering some
hundreds of dollars, he disappeared,
saying that he had received orders to
appear at the Pension Bureau at Wash
ington. He claimed to be very well
acquainted with the Commissioner and
to have great influence with him. Com.
missioner Bentley says the gentleman
has not yet made his appearance at the
bureau, and he thinks he is not likely
to. Any one who represents himself as
an officer of the Pension Bureau and
says he has influence in the department
is sharper, and ought to be promptly
handed over to the nearest magistrate.

High Priced Beans.

Tom Watrous, commercial traveller,
stopped off at the Marshall, Mich, eating
house several years ago.
He was not very hungry, and called
for plate of beans, which he received.
He inquired the price, and was informed
that it was rs cents.
"That's laundering price for beans,
said Tom.
"That's the price," said the proprie-
tor.
The train was just starting; Tom paid
the bill, and the coaches bore him and
his indignation on toward Detroit.
This was on Saturday. On Monday,
Gilmore, the eating house man, received
telegrm, collect on delivery, $1.25,
which he paid, and read on opening it =:
"a laundering price for BEANS"
Thirty days from that date neat ex-
press package was handed into Gilmore,
G. o. d., who paid 80 cents for the priv
ilege of opening it, to discover lot of
sawdust, on the top of which lay slip
of paper with the cabalistic symbols "A
laundering price for beans"
Two months from this Gilmore was
summoned to Chicago to meet former
business partner, and the hotel clerk
handed him letter conveying the pleas
ant information "a laundering price
for BEANS"
During Gilmore's absence his son paid
for two kilograms and one express pack
age, all bearing directly on the subject
of rs cents being ga laundering price
for beans |" Cost of these articles, SO. so.
A genuine telegram from Gilmore's min
ing share broker, advising him to sell,
was refused, and the loss of it entailed
an actual damage to Gilmore of $500.
A year rolled away. Gilmore ordered
a case iof Mackinac trout from Detroit.
They came G. o. D., S18S3. When
opened he found every fish had been re-
moved from the Ice and sawdust, and a
shingle met his eyes marked with blue
lead pencil, GA laundering price for
beans p Trouble arose between Gilmore
and the Detroit fish house. and they
went to law, Gilmore winning the suit,
$25 damages, and all at cost for the
attorneys services of $3.50.
Gilmore grew detected. Life looked
gloomy. Letters poured in on every one
of his family at regular intervals from
all parts of the world, bearing the I'M
pleasant information that it was ga
laundering price for beans !"
AT last Gilmore sold the Marshal eat
ing house and moved to Chicago. He
carried his deep affection with him,
gnawing like cancer at his vitals. The
persecution never ceased. Gilmore
dropped, faded and finally died. The
terribly afflicted family followed him to
his last resting place, and the widow,
with what little money she had saved
from the expenses of bogus kilograms
and express packages, erected plain
marble slab to the memory of the tor
tured Gilmore.
The following Sabbath the mourning
family went out to the cemetery to plant
some violets on Gilmore's grave. Ar
irving on the ground they observed in
silent horror that another legend APP
peared above the name of Gilmore, on
the tombstone. 1t was chalked on a
small blackboard and read:

WHAT MY LOVER SAID.

By the merest chance, in the twilight gloom,
In the orchard path he met me-
In the tall wet grass, with its faint perfume,
And tried to pass, but he made no room;
Oh 1 tried, but he would not let me!
So stood and blushed till the grass grew red,
With my face bent down above it,
While he took my hand, as he whispering said
How tho clover lifted its pink, sweet head,
To listen to all that my lover said
Oh the clover in bloom love it.
In the high wet grass went the path to hide,
And the low wet leaves hung over,
But could not pass on either side,
For found myself, when vainly tried,
In the arms of my steadfast lover.
And he held me there and he raised my head,
While he closed the path before me;
And he looked down into my eyes and said
How the leaves bent down from the boughs Ger
head,
To listen to all that my lover said.
Oh, the leaves hanging lowly DER me-
1 am sure that he knew, when he held ME fast.
That must be all unwilling;
For l tired TO go, and / would have passed,
AS the night was come with its dews at last,
And the sky with its stars was filling.
But he elasped me close, when / would have fled,
And he made me hear his story
And his soul came out from his lips and said
Howthe stars crept ont when the white moon led,
To listen TO all that my lover said.
oh, the moon and stars in glory
know that the grass and the leaves viii not tell,
And I'm sure that the wind, precious rover,
Win carry his secret so safely and well
That no being shall ever discover
One word of the many that rapidly fell
From the eager lips of my lover.
And the moon and the stars that looked over
Shall never reveal what fairy-like spell
They wove round about us that night in the dell,
In the path through the dew-laden clover;
Nor echo the whispers that made my heart swell
As they fell from the lips of my lover

"no English bluid should enter her
