Two Misers.
fFrom the Youthh Companion.

tue tOutnb COmpan1on.l
A lawyer in Troy, N. Y, states that in
the bitter weather OF last January he was
called at midnight to make will for a
supposed pauper named Ager. He found
the man dying in a wretched hovel, with
out q fire, apparently of want, his wife
beside him, dying also of hemorrhage of
the lungs.
Ager had one thousand FIVE hundred
dollars in four small bags, and six hun
dred dollars. in gold in bis pockets, which
he had carried so long that they we're
black and greasy. Gold was also found
secreted in iron pots and tea-pots in the
house. He died before morning, and his
wife an hour or two later. They were
both educated and of good birth.
They had bought no fuel all winter,
and had literally starved and frozen to
death. When asked why they had not
spent a few dollars in making themselves
comfortable, they replied, "Money was
q good thing to have" They could not
take it with them, however, and at al
most the last moment of life gave it TO q
charitable society.
Such instances OF extreme avarice are
very rare among native Americans. The
nation is too well-ied and well. clothed; |;
the general habit of life is too prodigal;
money comes too easily to foster even a
wise economy in the eyes of American
children.
A certain Major S. was well-known
to the past generation in the middle
states as a miser of land. He was child
less and owned enormous tracts in Penn
ax-ly Nnry V0rly apI nlD,, 81, 4
only improved sufficiently to enable him
to pay the taxes on them, and to buy
more land.
His whole life was spent in travelling
on foot over his possessions, and it was
his boast that he could walk from the
Hudson to the Miami, and sleep every
night on his own ground. On these
journeys be begged his food from his
tenants, and wore the same suit of
clothes until it literally dropped off of
him, rotten with filth and age.
Nothing could induce him TO sell or
give away foot of land. At last the
the old man was missed, and after a
couple Of months, his'body was found in
a forest on the Allegheny Mountains,
where having been taken i'll on one of
his journeys, he had crept to die. Six
feet Of ground was given to him for a
grave, aud that, by strange chance, as
If in derision Of the old mans folly, be-
longed 10 another man.
The folly Of these two men is evident
to the dullest of us. Their lives to the
very hour OF death we're spent in discom-
fort and want that they might accumu-
late riches which they knew they must
leave behind them.
But are We any wiser? How many Of
us are striving only to gain the property,
fame or social position which we mus.
leave behind us? What goods have We
to make comfortable and happy that life
beyond the grave? Which OF all the
things We prize and hoard here, will be
of any more use to us an hour after
death, than were the gold OF land to
these dying misers?

A DEBT-RIDDEN NATION.

There has seldom in modern times,
says the New York Times, been war
more financially disastrous to country
than that into which the late czar was
driven with Turkey in 1876. In 1875
the financial plight of Russia appeared,
for the first time in years, encouraging.
There was even slight surplus, instead
Of the usual deficit. In 1876 the deficits
began again. Thatin 1877 was 465, ,544,-
900 rubles. The Turkish war added to
the national debt more than 800, 900, 900.
Since the war ended there has been q
growth ~ expenditure far greater than
the growth in revenue. This is attrib-
ated to the influence of the military
party, which contrives to neutralize the
economic efforts of the minister Of
finance. Such vaporings as those lately
of Skobeleff do incalculable damage by
keeping alive this war spirit. Were
Russia now to embark in campaign
her credit abroad would-unless, indeed,
her successes should be unprecedentedly
rapid and decided-be gone. As it is,
she has of late been compelled to do her
borrowing at home because she must pay
80 high price abroad. There would be
a frightful fall In her securities were she
to go to war tomorrow, and, in view Of
her financial couiiition and Internal trou-
bles, it seems inexplicable folly on the
part OF Russians to think of such step.
If ever an empire should mean peace it
is the Russian Empire to-day, and
peace, too, should mean at least half the
army sent home to become bread win

Twenty-One Years Of Waiting.

AnEnglish paper tells pathetic story
of the patient waiting Of drunkard's
wife, who hoped against hope during
twoscore years that he would be re-
formed. The lesson of the story is one
that only devoted heart could put in
practice" While there is life there is
hope:"
The wife of a handwriting man
named Martin, in West Riding, York
shire, England, prayed twenty-one
years for his reformation and conversion.
When that long time had passed, and
no answer had come to her prayers, she
went one night, at midnight, to the pub
lie house where her husband spent much
of his time, and found him sitting in the
bar-room with several other men and the
landlady.
"You go home, E" said Martin, roughly,
when he saw bis wife enter.
"Wait little, and your husband will
go with you," said the landlady.
"Mrs. Tolman, " replied the poor wife,
advancing to the table where they were
sitting, al have waited twenty-one years
for my husband TO go with me'-and oil
that time / have pray ed for him."
She steadied her voice and added:
81 am certain, too, that God will an.
swer my prayers. As sure as he is sit.
ting in your bar, ! shall live to see him
pass your house and have no inclination
to 60 in"
She turned to 60 out, and Martin rose
and followed her, saying not word.
That night was the turning poiut IN
his life. The long-felt promise to the
heart Of the pious wife, that her hus
band should Ego with her" began tc
fulfil 10 her patient waiting.
He went to meeting with her, and wa
melted by a sermon on the words
"Where thou goest, will go,
thy people shall be my people, and thy
God my God;" he went with her on tht
road to life and helped her 10 lead theil
children In tho marrow way.

ADULTERATI0N.

In these days Of charging all materials
that we use for food with impure sub
stance, we in America might well follow
the example Of the project of police in
Paris, who has doubtless under the ad-
vice of eminent chemists, put into practice
the most stringent laws against the adul-
terating goods commonly used. He has
forbidden confectioners, distillers, groc-
ers and shop-keepers generally, to use
the following substances for coloring
sweetmeats, iqueurs and alimentary sub
stances: Mineral colors- The COM
pounds of copper: blue verdigris, noun
tain blue; compounds of lead: massicot.
minimum, Cassel yellow, Turkey yellow,
Paris yellow, white lead, fake white,
sulphate of lead, Naples yellow, chrome
yellow, Cologne yellow; chromate of
baryta or yellow ultramarine; compounds
of arsenic: arsenite of copper, Scheele's
green, Schweinfurth green and sulphide
of mercury or yermilliop. Organic col
ors--Gamboge and Naples aconite; fuch-
sine and its sub products, such as Lyons
blue; cosine; nitro derivatives, such as
napthal yellow and Victoria yellow.
These substances are also forbidden for
coloring the paper used for wrapping up
any article Of food. Both manufactur-
ers aud dealers are held responsible for
any accidents which may occur in vio-
lation of the above. Frequent iuspec-
tions will be made, if deemed necessary,
and the chief of the municipal police,
the mayors, the commissaries of police,
and others whom it may concern are
charged with carrying the measure into
effect

Wealth in the Senate,


The present senate contains at least q
score of senators not one of whom is
worth less than S2OU,000. The richest
man in the senate is, of course, Fair of
Nevada, who probably Possesses as
much as all the other senators together.
Next to him i'll lucre is David Davis
Of Illinois, a widower, who is reputed
to be the possossor of millions.
1t is somewhat difficult to name the
senator whose fortune ranks third in
size, but, if Eugene Hale, of Maine, has
received the mantle Cf his father. in-law,
Zach. Chandler, with its well-lined pock-
cts, his fortune is nearly as large as
that Of David Davis. The wife of Sem
ator Hale is the only daughter of the
late Senator Zach. Chandler.
Other very wealthy senator's are Miller
of California, Malone of Virginia and
Sawyer of Wisconsin, known to be
worth more than a million each. Sewell
of New Jersey, is a railroad man and is
very wealthy.
Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, it is
said, is worth more than $4,000, 900, his
property consisting largely of real es-
tate iu Washington.
Among other senators who write their
fortunes with seven figures are Cameron
of Pennsylvania, Davis of West Vir-
ginia. and Plumb of Kansas. Senators
Hill, Of Colorado, Brown of Georgia,
Groope of Maryland, Mcpherson OF
New Jersey, and Pendleton Of Ohio are
all worth more than S500,000
Many other senators are comfortably
fixed, possessing little heards OF from
$50, 900 to 100000
Among those who have but little COM
paratively here below, that is, not more
than 100000 apiece, are Morrill, Of
Vermont, Anthony of Rhode Island
Rollins OF New Hampshire, Jones oi
Nevada, and Jones OF Florida, johnson
&C Virginia, Beck of Kentucky, Saun'
ders of Nebraska, Allison OF Iowa, and
Harrison of Indiana.

A younu Tapir,

II New York has baby elephant,
London can boast of baby tapir-the
first one said to have been born in Eu-
rope. The little visitor is cross be-
tween the two principal American spe-
cies, the mother (tapirus Americanus)
from Brazil, being brown animal, and
the father ct. roulini) from Columbia,
having black hair. The young one, like
all young tapirs, is curiously lined and
spotted with white on IA ground Of light
fawn color. 1t is lively little fellow,
about the size OF roasting pig and ap-
pears to enjoy life amazingly. When
only day old il readily entered water,
and when not following its mother about
more frequently indulges in swim.
The tapir is a pacbyderm, one Of the
links which unites the elephant with the
wild boar and rhinoceros. The snout OF
the animal forms small proboscis moi
unlike the elephants, but much smaller
and minus the finger-ike tip. II has the
appearance of Q trunk cut short. The
American tapir is great swimmer and
hsunts wooded parts on the margins Of
streams, ii is powerfully built and has
the merest apology for tail Its food
con sists Of leaves, young shoots of trees,
native fruits, and probably submerged
water plants and other vegetable matter,

General Winfield Scott at the Table
From the Philadelphia Times

Great IN his exploits, great III his per-
son, he was scarcely popular, but his
heart was in proportion to his person.
Six feet, five and a half inches tall,
weight 360 pounds; he had all the ten
derness Of woman. Lavish with his
money, often annoyed by the want of it,
he never deferred Just debt nor turned
his back on a poor man. Lavish of his
own life i'll battle, he was careful to the
last degree of the lives of his soldiers.
He justly won renown. Never falling in
great things, he was to the last degree
pettish in small things. Soup salted 10y
the cook violated one of his maxims, that
every man should salt his own soup. If
the soup-at his own table mean-was
salted by the cook he raised row which
made the best soup unsavory. Was the
the turkey stuffed with sage, thyme and
chestnuts, all right. Mujoram was his
abomination. If marjoram was there,

key. Tn fish must be boiled to the ex-

The parsley which adorned it must be
duly adjusted or the fish would be cold
before lie would let you eat it. He would
deliver a dissertation ON the culinary art.
A canvas-back duck had to be roasted to
a turn, so that the blood would just
trickle down the edge Of the knife blade
or the company was not seated on can
vas. Did one help him to a piece of
roast beef not from the interrostal, he
would ask, did you take him and his
guests for "boors The "salade," as
he called it, even if only raw tamatoes,
if it was not dressed la mode Demon
leo, la mode la bette France, or by
himself, was an offense. Yet he was
sipgularly great. He was also scholar;
had Shakespeare and the Bible by heart
and often quoted them in felici.ous il
lustration. He would call and insisted
that others should call clergy clargy and
clerk clark, aud iole, il you did not pro-
nounce it jowl, he would almost howl.
One of his aids once asked his permis-
sion to marry (aids have to ask their gen.
erals consent to do such things) the gen.
eral asked the lady's name. Miss Clark,
was the reply. "Oh, yes, said the gen.
eral, "for now you will he forced to say
Clark or die" The lady is dead and the
aid is dead now,

forms q new set OF acquaintances
among those who are strangers to her
past history. heard Of five ladies who
recently at an afternoon tea-drinking
had confidential seance over their cups,
and under the stimulating influence Of
hyson or bohea unbosomed their troubles
to each other. They had all
come abroad for an indefinite stay,
leaving their husbands behind them.
One Of them said that her husband had
suffered an unjust persecution, and was
undergoing a cruel imprisonment for a
few years for using some bank funds
which he intended to have returned, but
he found he couldn't. The husband of
another had proved himself untrue to his
marriage vows by taking to himself an
extra wife-yes, two or three of them,
report said-without going through the
ceremony of marriage. AS for her liv-
ing on the same continent with him after
that, it was out Of the question. The
third lady said that her husband, who
was very wealthy, had got addicted to
drinking, and had gradually become
very Incorporate; that while under the
influence Of liquor, which was nearly all
the time, he had abused her aud treated
her like q dog; that she would en-
dure such treatment no longer, and,
being afraid of her life, she had
put the ocean between them. The
fourth lady said she was the wife of one
of the best husbands in the world, who
from small beginnings had accumulated
a large fortune. They had lived in great
style aud splendor, and had been very
happy together, but in an evil hour her
husband had been drawn into specula-
tions which had proved ruinous and
swept away every dollar in the world.
She was then overlooked and cast aside
by those who had enjoyed her hospital
ity and professed so much love and
friendship for her in her prosperity. She
could endure anything but such treat
ment and neglect, and rather than suffer
it longer she had left her country with
out regret. An aunt had left her
a sum of money sufficient to live
comfortably and economically abroad,
while her husband was barely
supporting himself aud a young son
at home on a small salary rs clerk iu a
whole sale house. The fifth, who had
listened with much amazement to the
foregoing disclosures, said with much
feeling and emphasis that although she
had left her husband in America, she
thanked God that she had left him in
the church-yard sleeping bis last sleep,
and that she had perfectly happy mar
ried life to look back upon. No family
quarrels or domestic infelicities had sent
her across the Atlantic, but she was here
to realize a dream of her childhood in
visiting the wonderful picture galleries,
churches, palaces, etc, with which
Europe aboupds.
