else had my experience he would never enter

one of the most beautiful and accomplished
ladies in the State of Texas, but without any

"Talking about the marriage of cousins" he

one cousin of mine were somewhat romantic.
He was Il good-ooiing young fellow, a doctor
by profession, and an intimate friend of Il dis

sin of the doctors the doctor had never seen.
Jack had singular fear that his wife would
fall in love with the doctor, and so, though he
rem aimed the doctors warm friend, he con-
trived to keep them apart Not long ago he
became ill and Il servant who was sent for a
doctor went to the doctor-cousin's. This doe

The Rich Men of San Francisco.

San FRANCISCO AfgonAut.
San Francisco has long list Of abnor
mally rich men. There are more million
aire fortunes in San francisco than in
any other American city, and, We pre-
Elme, more than in any European city Of
corresponding population. unless it may
be Amsterdam or Frankfort. 1t is a
ourious fact, and without one exception,
that none spring from the wealthy class
nearly every one from the very poorest
olses, and that only one brought any
money to San Francisco. Only one is the
graduate of a learned university ; only
Sc zen were educated TO any profession,
and ell of these lawyers. So far as we
know, there is not preacher or doctor
or graduate OF West Point in the lot.
Twenty Of the list were, in their youth,
of the uneducated, barefoot class, whose
early struggles were unaided by relatives
or friends. Forty-nine OF our millionaires
are Americans by birth, is are Irish, s
are Jews, are German, 4 are English.
and French. So far as we know, ONLY
three were born south OF Mason and
Dixon's line, and OF these neither was
from a slave owning family. Only have
ever held political position, there being one
governor, three United States senators, a
member Of Congress, and two members of
assembly in the list. Outside of the
Roman Catholic church and the Syna-
gogue, but one is member of church or
p 1fessor of religion. To four of these
men We estimate $40, 0OO, 600 each. Five
will range from 10000, 900 to $50, 00o,-
COO; two to 100000 900, and five to
$4,000, 600 each, thus giving to IL persons
over 100000 and to the remainder,
say $4,000, 0o0-a total among the
hereafter named residents Of San Fran
cisco of $3.50, GOO.

THE OLD READING GLASS.


-
can not tell yoa, Genevieve, how oft it comes
That rather young old reading class in District
Number Three,
That row of elocutionists who stood SO straight
in line,
And charged at standard literature with amia-
BILE design.
We did not spare the energy in which our
words we're clad;
We gave the meaning of the text by all the
light we had;
But still fear the ones who wrote the lines we
read so free
Would scarce have recognized their work in
District Number Three.
Outside the snow was smooth and clean-the
winters thick-laid dust;
The storm it made the windows speak at every
sudden gust
Bright sleigh-bells threw us pleasant words
when travellers would pass
fhe maple.trees along the road stood shivering
in their class
Beyond, the white-browed cottages were nest
ling cold and dumb.
And far away the mighty world seemed beck
onlnB us to come
The wondrous world, of which we conued
what had been and might be,
In That old-fasnioned reading class of District
Number Three,
We took a hand at History-its affairs, spires,
and flames
And uniformly mispronounced the most i'm
portant names
We wandered through Biography and gave
And with some subjects fell In loye-upood
only for one day."
In Romance and Philosophy we settled many
point,
And made what poems we assaulted to creak at
And many authors that we love, you with me
will agree,
We're first time introduced to us in District
Number Three.
You recollect susannah Smith, the teachers

Who never new stopped at any pause-a sort of
sistent sight,
Who stumbled on the easy words, and read
the hard ones right
And Jennie Green, whose doleful voice was
always clothed in black ?

plastering all to crack?
And Andrew Tubbs, whose various months

A MORMON POEM.

SIR: Please put this in The Sun.
We merry little mormons are,
Together we have come
To tell what we intend tn do
When we have older grown.
We are resolved while we are young
To study and to learn
To make good, honest, faithful wives
When we that title earn.
We are resolved we will not wed
A man who loves the glass,
Or has q habit of strong drink,
No, no, vel let him pass;
Nor VIII We marry any man
Who smokes or chews the weed,
His habit would too filthy be,
No, no, sir, no, indeed.
We will not marry any man
Who swears or Is prOfane.
AS in His Word we are forbid
To take His name in vain.
We VIII not marry any man
Who lounges in the street;
He never would home provide,
Or earn the bread we'd eat.
The man we marry must be pure
In body and in mind;
He must be honest kind, and true,
To sober thought inclined.
He must be free from every fault
That has been mentioned here
To such man we'd give heart
True, honest, and sincere.
That he might have another wife,
For that we would not care;
We think we'd love him just as we'll,
And we his love would share.
We'd rather wed an honest man
With all the hearts he wins,
Than any one who will indulge
In all these little sins.
