Prompt Payment of Small Bills.

A wealthy banker in one.of our large cities, who is noted for his large sub- scriptions to charities, and for his kindly habits of private benevolence, was called on one evening, and asked to go to the help of man who had attempted sui eide. They found the man in wretched house in an alley not far from the bank ers dwelling The front room was cobbler's shop; behind it, on 8 miser- able bed in the kitchen, lay the poor shoemaker, with gaping gash in his throat, while his wife and children were gathered about him.
 "We had been without food for days, 9 said the woman, ''when he returned, It is not my husbands fault. He is hard working, sober man. But he could nei- ther get work nor pay for that which he had done. To-day he went for the last time to collect debt due him by 8 rich family, but the gentleman was not at home. My husband was weak from fasting, and seeing us starving drove him mad. So it ended that way" turn ing to the fainting, motionless figure on the bed.
 The banker, having warmed and fed the family, hurried home, opened his desk, and took out file of little bills. All his debts were promptly met, but he was apt to be careless about the accounts of milk, bread, etc, because they were so petty. He found there was 8 bill o1 Michael Goodlow's for repairing ta;g} dren's shoes,, $10. Michael GoodloN was the suicide. q It was the bankers un paid debt which had brought these peo pie to the verge of the grave, and driver this man to desperation, while at tht very time the banker had given away thousands in charity.

A Singular Play.

Dion Boucicault will bring out a new play in Boston, with 8 somewhat novel and risky principal character. This is 8 poor, half-witted Irish boy, with merely the instincts of an animal. He is like 8 dog in many respects, but is, of course, attached to the heroine, whom he follows about abjectly. When she is in sorrow he is frantic with grief, and when she is happy he is wild with delight. When she tells him to bite he does it, and when she orders him to lie down he grovels at her feet. He is actuated by passion of which he does not know the meaning, and which she does not discover until the last. "There are many such boys in Ireland,," says MT. Boucicault, ''and this is an entirely natural character. l created him with view to the future of my son, who will hereafter play the part; but for the present I shall assume if ''

Too Savage.

Many people are surprised, says the London Truth, that the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Vladimir should be such wanderers on the face of the earth. The fact is the Grand Duchess, who is young and imprudent, has long been amusing herself by making merry at the expense of the ladies of the St. Peters burg palace, and even of her imperial female cousins. A letter, addressed by her to Russian princess living in Paris, and in which she roasted most un- mercifully the "cat," the "mouse, the "toad, " and the "glow worm" Chick names which designate some of the aforesaid ladies), was intercepted by one of the Generals attached to the Cz6inet Noir, who handed it over to the Czar. The Empress was terribly angry, and insisted on the Grand Duchess Vladimir being sent for some time cut of the country.

Landlord Tim.

We possessed landlord once in our pleasant little Canadian village, and the said landlord was witty and harmless, butt inveterate ''exaggerator Stranger or friend were pleasantly entertained of an evening by listening to his impos- sible, though truthfully told, yarns, and many guest felt he received his moneys worth of combustible chin, besides his board thrown in. He would tell about feeding bushels of corn to wild goose that daily visited his fathers clover farm" and at last, shooting it with rife, found half of the bullet on either side, split by the breast-bone. Beauti- fully would he relate his favorite, pigeon yarn. Noticing hundreds of this game in tree one day, and having only a rife he was sorely perplexed as to the best means of making fruitful dis charge. Brains brought into requisition so plentifully his head ached, quickly set him clear. Choosing the fullest limb, he fired, splitting it and the bullet passed through the limb, their toes dropped in and held them fast. While saving off the limb it suddenly broke and let pigeons and all into 8 stream below. When he reached the shore again he had ninety-seven pigeons in his hands and peck of small fish in his boots.
 ''Tim," said Henderson, new conner, one night after Tim had finished his imaginative triumph, 'Tim, shot at some pigeons years ago; had as good 8 double -barreled gun as was ever made, and I saw clouds of pigeons on the ground not more than twenty-five yards away. I let go both barrels at the same time and how many do you suppose I killed ?"
 ''Did you say you had shotgun ?" inquired Tim.
 ''Yes, sir; double-barreled and good one."
 "Oh, don't know, said Tim, thought fully; ''say 2OO.''
 'No, sir," said Henderson, with an air of satisfied expectancy, "no sir, not 8 single one p'-Det''o1 Free Press.

Population of Germany.

Considerable attention is being drawn by statisticians to the great rate of in- crease both of the population and emi- grafton throughout Germany. The pop ulation of Prussia increased between 1916 and 1864 from 10, $50, 900 to 19, ,26O,- 900, while up to 1875, inclusive, 1t had mounted up to 21, ,5OO,O 900, or 1O5 per cent. in sixty years time. From 1875 to 1880 the population of all the German States has been increasing about 525, ,0OO per annum. At the last census, in De cember, 1880, the number of inhabitants was 45, ,250, 1000, which, if maintained at the same rate, would be 6O,OOO,OOO in 1900. The increase, as compared with that of France is very remarkable, the French population during the last five years showing an increase of only 389,- GOO; while the increase of the German population during the same period was 100000 the birth rate in the latter country being 3.91 per 100, whereas in France 1t is only 2.47. There is also this great difference between the two, that in France the increase has been almost en- tirely in the large towns, whereas in Germany the increase is general through out the country as well as the towns. The number of emigrants that have Jeff Germany during the last sixty years is over 3, ,500, 900, of whom the greater part have taken their departure within the last thirty years, the United States hay
 ing absorbed in 1881 no fewer than PAS, 323. Dr. Kappe estimates the amour
 taken away by each emigrant at not les
 than $113.

A Life Picture.

Boy: I saw your advertisement, sir, and came to see if I could get the place.
 Storekeeper: Of course, you can give the best of references for honesty, in- dustry, intelligence, suitability, etc. !?
 Boy: Yes, sir.
 Storekeeper: The pay is reasonable, but not excessive at first.
 Boy: don't care so much about the pay at first. All want is enough for my board and clothes and little pocket money in addition.
 Storekeeper: Of course, we don't ex- pect you to work for nothing. The first year we pay $50, the second $75, the third $1OO, and so on for the first ten years.
 Boy: You are very generous, sir; and what do you pay after the ten years are up?
 Storekeeper: Oh, we shan't require your services any longer then. It will be more economical for us to hire 8 new boy at $50; and, besides, by allowing you to go, we are enabled to give an- other boy an opportunity to earn liveli- hood.
 Boy: I suppose you would be willing to retain half of my wages while stay, so that I may not be tempted to squan- der it as fast as get it?
 Storekeeper: It will put us to some trouble, but we might be induced to ac- commodate you if you would partially indemnify us by paying, say $1O year, for the care and inconvenience that we should be put to.
 Boy: Thank you, sir; you are very kind. If you think that $10 is not too little, I should be only too glad to &C., cept your splendid offer. When shall l come?
 Storekeeper: If your references prove satisfactory, you may come tomorrow morning. Your duties will be very light, by the way. You will open the store at six, sweep out the six floors, build you1 furnace fires, dust the goods and polish the brass signs. You will run errands the remainder of the day-no heavy bundles, you know-nothing above 15C pounds-keep the stock in order, copy letters, help the porter, etc., and al night you will see to the fires, put ul the shutters and lock up. You will gen erally get away by seven, though occa sionally-once or twice week, perhaps you may have to stay until eight o1 nine. You see the work is light, and be- sides that, you will be gaining business knowledge that will be invaluable to you when your ten years are up.
 Boy: am delighted, sir, at my goo6 fortune. You may be sure that I shal be around bright and early tomorrow.
 Storekeeper: All right. But if you have any better clothes put them on Like to have our employees dress we'll. Boy: Certainly, sir. I shall wear my best. They are not, perhaps, so elegant as they should be, but after am in re ceipt of my salary shall be able to have a stylish suit every two or three months Good day, sir.-Boston zTanscript.

THE MAN WHO NEVER ADVERTISES.

Sing, business muse, the dark and doleful fate Of him who labors but that he may wait; The piles of goods heaped up within his store, Which can't be less, and never may be more; The man whose life has lost all fortune prizes; In fact, the man who never advertises. Sing of his start, his great ambitions scope, The capital that gave him cause to hope, His credit large, his full and ample stock, His bank account as solid as a rock; Then tell the doom to which the man was fated Who never advertised, but simply waited. So simply, and so vainly Splendid signs, Which basement art irradiates and refnes, Plate glass show windows elegantly dressed, Such lovely clerks, cashiers, and all the rest, Served but to show him how the public sizes, The style of him who never advertises He waited, and all waited: clerks, cashiers, Salesmen, saleswomen, such delightful dears, Impatient waited all the season through, With precious little for the crowd to do. The public saw-that fact there's no denying But passed the store without thought of buy
 ing.
 Business was dull, but salaries and rent Went on till cash and credit both were spent; The silly merchant hoped his luck would turn, Until the Sheriff closed the whole concern. Now, at pittance which his soul despises, He works for one who always adyertises.
