is mighty serious matter, and he gets
in his work repenting, too quick, and ne
is liable to get to the good place, while
you, who have only stole a few potatoes
out of bushel that you sold to the or
phan asylum, will forget to repent, and
you will sizzle. I tell you, the more

Heaven. the more l think feller can't
be too careful, and from this out you
won't find better boy than am. When
come in here after this and take few
dried peaches or crackers and cheese,
you charge it right up to pa, and then

answer for it at the great judgment day.

don't see how that can be, when the
minister smokes, but want to be on the

to me as boy who has seen the folly OF
an illspent life. and if there is such

the minister tell about the angels flying
around there, and I see pictures Of them

chubby arms with dimples in the elbows
and shoulders, and long golden hair, and

in a livery stable and smelling like an
old harness, it makes me tired, and l

Say, you would make healthy angel,

As the boy went out the grocery man
sat for several minutes thinking of the
change that had come over the bad boy,
and wondering what had brought it
about, and then he went to the door to
watch him as he wended his way across
the street with his head down, as though
in deep thought, and the grocery man
said to himself, "that boy is not as bad
as some people think he is," and then
he looked around and saw sign hang
ing up in front Of the store, written on
piece Of box cover, with blue pencil,
Spoiled canned ham and tongue, good
enough for church pic nics," and he
looked after the boy who was slipping
down an alley and SAID, ''The condemn
little whelp. Wait till catch him."

A SINGULAR CAREER.
Romantic History 0fa Brooklyn School
Teacher.
From the NeaC York Sun.


Mrs. Mary J.. Relyea, a public sch ool
teacher, with an unusual personal his-
tory, died at the residence other brother
in-law. Mr.. Coggeshall, at 81 Sydney
place, leaving an eight-year-old daughter.
Mrs. Relyea was the sister Of General
Hugh McNeill, who won fame during the
war. She was in her maidenhood the
belle of Brooklyn, her beauty resembling
that type of which Mrs. Scott-siddons is
noteworthy example. She was married
to Mr.. Rockefeller, brother of. S. Rookie
feller of the Standard Oil Company, and
went with him to live in Montana, where
he held a State Office and lived in luxu-
ry. They had costly home and abund-
ant means, and life was most happy with
them until his health broke down. He
felt that if he could breathe the air of his
native place, Bound Brook, N. j., he
would be better, and he and his wife
started across the plains. He died in
stage. She carried his body for several
days with her in the stage, but at length,
at the request of the passengers, she left
it to be shipped East. Her husband pos
sessed large estate when he died, but
his Western agent is said to have de-
spoiled the widow of it all and she
was left so poor that she became pu-
pil in Peter Cooper's school of tele-
graphy.
When she was a girl she had a most
ardent lover in Mr.. Relyea, whose life
was almost blighted by the disappoint-
ment occasioned by her first marriage
and he broke up prosperous career in
New York to go into the stock-raising
business in Montana. When he heard
she was a widow he started East and re-
newed his suit, with poor success at first,
but his persistence ended in her second
marriage.
She experienced then atransition from
poverty to aff1uence, and went again to
Montana. She came East after time
for her health, and after the birth of her
child her husband sold his ranch, pocket
ed the proceeds, amounting to over $780,
600 in cash, and started East. He has
never been heard from since, and she be-
lieves, as do her friends, that he was
murdered and robbed on the way East.
William Orton, President of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, became
much interested in her and as she could
telegraph herself, he placed all of the
Western Union lines at her disposal and
she searched by wire everywhere for
some trace of her husband, but in vain.
She was then given position as tele-
graph operator, and until William Orton's
death he provided pleasant positions for
her, but her health succumbed to ardu-
GUS work when her protector died. At
length. through John Williams, Presi-
dent of the Fulton Bank in Brooklyn,
she secured a position as teacher in
Public School No. 81, at President and
Hoyt streets, where she taught until q
few days ago. She finally died of pneu-

ure is exactly the same as in most OF my
problems in mithology-that you have
the theme in one of the old masters
works followed out in all its endless va
riations, always appearing and always
you of unity in variety. So in
painting; what is called truth to nature
is the intellectual element comingin, and
truth to nature depends entirely upon
the intellectual culture of the person to
whom it is addressed. If you are in
Australia, you may get credit for being
good artist-I mean among the natives
if you can draw kangaroo after fashion.
But among men of higher civilization the
intellectual knowledge we possess brings
its criticism into our appreciation OF
works of art, and we are obliged to satisfy
it as well as the mere sense of beauty in
color and outline. And SO the higher
the culture and information Of those
whom art addresses, the more exact and
precise must be what we call its truth
to nature" If we turn to literature the
same thing is true, and you find works OF
literature which may be said to be pure
art. A little song of Shakespeare or of
Goethe is pure art, although its intel
lectual contents may be nothing. A
series of pictures is made to pass before
your minds by the meaning of words,
and the effect is a melody of ideas.
Nevertheless the great mass of the liter
ature we esteem is valued not merely be-
cause of having artistic form, but because
of its intellectual contents, and the value
is the higher the more precise, distinct,
and true is that intellectual content.
And if you will let me for a moment
speak of the very highest forms of flitera-
ture, do we not regard them as highest
simply because the more we know the
truer they seem, and the more compe-
tent we are to appreciate beauty the
more beautiful they are? No man ever
understands Shakespeare until he is old,
though the youngest may admire him;
the reason being that he satisfies the
artistic sense of the youngest and har-
monies with the ripest and richest ex-
periences of the oldest. have said this
much to draw your attention to what, to
my mind, lies at the root of all this mat
ter, and the understanding ofone another
by the men of science on one hand, and
the men of literature and history and art
on the other. It is not a question whether
one order of study should predominant
or that another should. 1t is question
of what topics of education you shall
select which will combine all the needful
elements in such due proportion as to
give the greatest amount of food and sup
| port and encouragement to those faculties
which enables us to appreciate truth, and
to profit by those sources Of innocent
happiness which are open to us, and at
the same time to avoid that which is bad
and course and ugly, and to keep clear OF
the multitude of pitfalls and dangers
| which beset those who break through
| the natural or moral laws.

Why Jay Gould Dropped the World.

Jay Gould was asked what prompted
him to dispose of the World news
paper. He said he got it almost by
accident, almost against his desire; never
interfered in its conduct, and had no use
for newspaper. Gould then went on
to say: "Its principles were invariably
opposed to nine I am Republican
Mr.. Hurlburt is a Democrat. I never
interfered with its management. In fact
the best evidence of this is that the pa
per, as a matter of fact, never did reflect
either my sentiments or my interests,
and it never interfered. Take for inst
ance the tariff question. My every in
terest is in protection. Yet l did not
interfere in the least when Mr.. Hurlburt
advocated free trade. I finally DISPOSED
of the paper for number of reasons, but
chiefly because saw an apprehension in
the public mind that the paper imperiled
the liberty of the people. When l per-
ceived the popular distrust l bowed to
the will OF the people, and long ago oHer-
ed it for sale. l am glad that have dis
posed of it. I have no new enterprises
on hand, and am gradually getting out of
business and concentrating all my affairs.
have been out of Wall street for the
last two years, and never expect to go
back again. I intend to takea good long
rest and travel and study"
Mr.. Gould thinks the Democratic party
has most excellent chance to obtain
power, as the public mind seems inclined
to give it fair show, but the tariff ques-
ton seems to be the only danger to De-
mocratic success just now. He thinks
the press has treated him pretty fair, as
whole. He learned long ago not to get
mad, and takes their attacks good natur-
edly without complaining, like man.

A good story is told of an old sea cap
tain who keeps little hotel in north
ern village on the seashore, celebrated
for its sands. His wife was very anxious
to have horse, an animal in which the
old man took but little interest, and the
old lady finally won her point, and got
her horse. The steed was of a playful
disposition, and used, on the least provo
cation, to tear madly along the shore,
and succeed in "spilling" the old lady
several times. At last the captain, who
had never driven the animal, volunteer
ed to break him of his vicious habits so,
getting another old .'salt" to aid him, he
procured kedge anchor with stout
line attached. Fastening the end of the
line around the axle, and putting the
anchor into the phacton, the ''fiery un-
tanned" was harnessed, and the two men
started for drive along the shore. Soon
the vicious animal espied something
which gave him an excuse to run away,
and Immediately dashed off with fright
full vivacity. The captain dropped the
reins, and summoned all hands to "let 60
the anchor" The anchor was let go, and
caught firmly in the sand. The unsus-
pecting quadruped pranced joyously
along until he got to the end of the rope.
and then he paused-paused so suddenly
that the phaeton was demolished. and
the two men shot up into the air like q
couple of sky-rockets, coming down in a
fearfully dilapidated condition.
