!: Story Of an Honest Banker.

Andrew V. Stout, the w,ll,knowh
Presidential the Shoe & Leather Bank,
who died recently in New York, com
bired shFewdness with great honesty,
Although Mr. Stout was the President of
the greltest bank in the metropolis, he
a ays had time to attend every pray e.:
meeting of st, Paul's MethC dist Church.
He was practical everyday Christian.
H. had such implicit faith in all men
that he was sometimes imposed ulon.
Que day b,fore lie died MIR. Stout laugh
ingly told ms t e Outlines Of the follow
lug true story:
A few mornings since, when the great
banker was coming down 10 the Broad
way cars, lie sat in such confidential
proximity to sympathizing pickpocket
that tine latter was tempted into the ae-
ceptance of Mr.. Stout's pocket book.
C rnta n ng valuallep pc and $3.50 in
greenbacks. Then the pickpocket said
good morning to Mr.. Stout and left.
arriving at the Bank, Mr.. Stout discov-
cred his loss. He was astonished that
he, shrewd old New Yorker, should
have his pocket picked.
"PshaW!" he said to his secretary; "no
man could ever pick my pocket. I
should just like to see anyone pick my
pocket, shouldr'
Then Mr.. Stout's lip curled in con
temptuous scorn at the bare idea of such
a silly improbaLility.
But the pocket-book, with the money
and valuable papers, was gp9e, and The
next day Mr.. Stout Glvertisedin the
HERALD, He said if the person who
took his pocket-book would return the
papers be would give him the money and
twenty-five dollars besides.
The next day he gota confidential note
from party who said friend of bis
had the pocket-book all safe, and tha
he would call at the bank the next day
to arrange the matter.
81 wonder if this man really'wiil calf
mused the banker as he wiped his eye
glasses and cut of bnsketful Of coupons
II wonder if he will be such fool a
that? But then you can't expect common
men to be as shrewd as bank presi
dents"
But, sure enough, the next day th
man was at his post.
well, what about the poeket-book2
asked Mr.. Stout

you'll just go with me few blocks III

It's all safe, Mr.. Stout. Gomez
The stranger had such an hon est loo
that the banker, who always prided him
, self on his knowledge OF men, "tool
stock in him" at once.
"All right, my good man, let me ge
some money to pay you for your troubl
and I'll be with you.' said Mr.. Stout
looking at his SlOO-watch.
In few moments they started OFF tc
gether-Mr. Stout and his honest frien
for Center Street restaurant. wher
the thief or finder was supposed to be.
"Now, you just wait outside in tn
front room moment, Mr.. Stout, and II

In a moment Mr. Stout's friend rt

FOUNTAIN HEAD OF ABoLITIoNIsM.

OF late years considerable discussion
through the columns of the religious and
secular press has taken place, as to whether
this great movement had its origin and be-
ing in or out of the Church. From the
written records kept and information
CLEANED from various ones who actively par
ticipated therein, it is safe to say that the
anti.slsvery cause originated in the Church,
hundreds of ministers being prominently
identified Herewith, and the final success
of the great movement is attributable to
their labors. a divine creed Of the anti

W ELhN SLAN ho.
One of the most interesting incidents of
the underground railway happened in lS4l.
In the fall of that year eleven slaves be-
longing to Schultz and Pierce, of Mays
vile, ran away. They were brought across
the river by Peter Dent, who was the hus-
hand of one of the women. The masters
of the runaway slaves being very wealthy,
a reward of 8, 200 was offered for their
apurebension and return and, in addition
to this. a force of men were employed to
hunt them down. The various underground
stations were SO closely watched in this vi
cinity by the pursuing party that it re-
ouired rare tact and judgment to run the
slaves through. They were quietly taken
over fields and through woods, often In the
midst of driving rain, and when the pur-
suit became warm they were stealthily
slipped back to a wayside station until the
pursuers had left that region. At one time
when the pursners were warm on the trail.
james Henry, Sr., man with whom the
pursuing party had made their headqnar-
tiers, came over TO a station were the fugl-
4ives were and offered to hide them on bis
