4 BENFNESA BILE ACCIDENT. Is IRJE.-A
Young woman whose name and location il =
not necessary to Givuge, met with an acCI-
dent tie other day which has probably never
been equalIed in the annals Of personal mis-
haps. Il seems, If the story Of her father,
told in this place on Monday last, can be re-
lied on. that the girl in question fell victim
some months ago to the wiles of a heartiesS
seducer and aS a consequence gave birth III
due time 20 z stiil-bOrn child. No less than
three professional attendants, as the story
goes. were present at the GccOUcbnelt, and
one of these il is said, sat down on the poor
girls legs in order to keep her prone ON the
bed. How successful the effort was may ee
inferred from the fact that one OF her legs
was broken by the process, her agony being
so great and her C0HtortiouS so OvaTpOwCr-
ing that the imprisoned limb was fractured
below the knee before it occurred to any
one present that such danger was immi-
nent. As we have already said, this is the
story told BY the father of the unfortunate
girl, and if it is not true, and We can scarce
" think it possible he alone is responsible.

A sharp Rebuke.

A certain infidel, who was q black
smith, was in the habit, when Christ
ian man came to his shop, of asking
some one of the workmen if they had
ever heard about Brother So-and-so, and
what they he'd done? They would say
no, what was it? Then he would begin
and tell what some Chris tian brother or
deacon or minister had done, and then
laugh and say "That is one Of their
fine Christians we hear so much about"
An old gentleman, deacon, one day
went into the shop, and the infidel soon
began about what some Christians had
done, and seemed to have good time
over it. The old deacon stood few
moments and listened, and then quickly
asked the infdel if he had read the story
in the Bible about the rich man and
Lazarus? eyes, many time, and
what of it?" "Well, you remember
about the dogs-how they came and
licked the sores of Lazarus 2" "Yes,
and what of that?" "Well," said the
deacon, edo you know you just remind
me of those dogs, content merely to lick
the Christians sores" The blacksmith
grew suddenly pensive, and hasn't had
much to say about failing Christians
since.

GIVING AND LIVING.

Forever the sun Is pouring its gold
On hundred worlds that beg and borrow;
His warmth he squanders on SUBMITS cold,
His wealth on the homes Of want and sorrow.'
To withhold his largess of precious light
LIZ TO bury himself in eternal night.
To give
Is to live.
The flower shines not for itself at all,
Its joy is the joy it freely diffuses;
Or beauty and balm 1t is prodigal,
And it lives in the light it freely loses.
NO choice for the rose but glory or doom,
10 exhale OF smother, to wither or bloom.
To deny
Is to die
The seas lend rilvery rays to the land,
The land its sapphire stream to the ocean;
The heart sends blood to the brain OF command,
The brain to the heart its lightning motion;
And over and over we yield our breath,
Till the mirror - dry and imageis death.
To live -
Is to give.
He Is dead whose hand is not open wide
To help the need Of human brother;
He doubles the length of his lifelong ride
Who gives his fortunate place to another:
And thousand million lives are his
Who carries the wosld in his sympa.hies.
To deny
Is to die.

Old Times.

It is really not very long since Lros-
porous business men were satisfied with
apartments which would hardly suit
well-to-do workingmen now. That,
however, says a New York correspond
ent, was before we got into the arena Of
great millionaires. There are lots Of
folks still among us who remember very
well when the possession OF 5000, 900
made man a nabob. Aston was the
only actual millionaire in the city.
Back in those times it was the custom
of rich men to live in apartments over
their places of business. That was
when the stores were all below Canal
street and Murray hill away out in the
country. The merchants and lawyers
who lived over their stores and Offices
were quite as comfortable there as the
richer men Of to-day living in 800, 1000
mansions up town. The elite of the
city could be found in the neighbor-
hood of Bowling Green, and the Battery
had greater charms than Central Park
has now. Between riches now and
riches then the difference is enormous.
One of our present millionaires, with an
extravaganza family, spends as much
money in year as would have made a
permanent family fund in the old times.
It is not an uncommon thing for such a
man to lay out $40, 900 between New
Years and the next Christmas. In the
times I speak of man who could COM
mand $4,000 all told was considered
rich for life. An income of $500 or
