PLEA FOR ONE IN ADVERSELY
Bill Nye Sympathizes with a Man
otShrunken Fortune.
Courier Journal.

Courier Journal.
We learn with much sadness that
Mr.. William II. Vanderbilt's once
princely fortune has shriveled down TO
$50, 100000. This piece of informa-
ton comes to me like a clap of thun'
der out of clear sky. Once petted,
fhndled and caressed. William IL.
Vanderbilt, shorn IF his wealth, and
resting upon no foundation but his
sterling integrity, must struggle along
with the rest OF us.
1t would be but truth to say that
Mr.. Vanderbilt will receive very Int.
tie sympathy from the world now In
the days of his adversely aud penury'
when the wolf is at his door. There
are many of his former friends who
will say that William could economic
and struggle along on sl5O,OOO,OOO
but let them t-y it once and see how
they would like it themselves $780,.
600, 900, with no salary outside o.
that amount, will not last forever.
A poor man might pinch along ii
such a case till he could get something
to do, but we must remember thai
Mr.. Vanderbilt has always lived il
comparatively mfortable circum
stances. His hands, therefore, arr
tender, and his stomach juts out int
the open autumn air He will, there
fore, find it hard at first 10 husk corr
and dig potatoes. When he stoop
over a sawbuck around New YorE
this winter, his stomach will be in th'
way and his vest will no doubt spill
open on the back. All these things
will annoy the spoiled child of luxury
and his broad features will he covered
with sadness. They will, at least, j
there is sadness enough in the countr.
to do it.

Stephens on Webster.

The late Hon. Alexander h.
Stephens, of Georgia, once said of
Daniel Webster: II think Webster
was the worst slandered man ever
knew. 1t is the general impression In
the country to-day that Webster was
a great drnnkard. You hear it spoken
of even now whenever his name is
mentioned, but it is an outrageous

there has been much said about his

Nor ouench the fires I've madly nursed,
Nor cool this dreadful raging thirst
Take back your pledge, ye come too latc'
Ye cannot save me from my fate,
Nor bring me hack departed joys,
But ye can try to save the boys.
We bid me break my fiery chain,
Arise and be a man aguin,
When every street with SnarcS Is spread,
And nets of sin wherc'cr tread.
No / must reap rs did sow,
The seeds of sin bring crops or woe;
But with my latest breath I'll crave
That yc will try the boys to save.
These bloodshot eyes were once so bright.
This sin-cruShcd heart was giau ana hSht'
But by the winC-cup's ruddy glow

The cup allurcs, and then destroys,

Take from your streets those traps of hell
Into whose gil1cd sRarcs fell.

A raeeting Of the United Rocky Mountain
Stock Growers Association was held at

In the Rapids.

A Young man had finished his course
of study. and, with his many social adj
vantaycs and good talents he had much
i'm his favor towards making a start in
life. His career might have been one
marked success but for one thing. AT
college he had allied himself with n
class of Young men who often indulgcd
i'm the social glass, instead of the sober,
rciiable set who stunned as they would
a poisoned serpent all such temptations.
Once he had laughed at their scruplcs.
proud of his own strength to drink on
leave it alone, as he pleased. A student
who had long known him had often
visited his room and u"gcd him to
give up his present companions and
join himself to the set who would
do him good and not evil, but to no
purpose.
He came back to his old home and
was rambling with a friend over pleas
ant paths he had known in childhood.
They had seated themselves on a bank
at last, and the faithful friend rcmon-
strated with him On the dangerous
course he was pursuing. Turning to-
wards him he threw his head on his
knee and exclaimed in anguish:
80 cousin! if | could only describe
to you these awful feelings of Unsuitable
thirst. IL Is 1lhc tcH 'CNi'o
gnawing at my vitals.
"Whv, then, will you not be per-
suaded TO break off from these habits of
drink"
at is impossible. would give every
thing | own to be able to do it. But the
raging fire within'can only be assuagcd
by another drink, and another and an
other; and SO it must go on until death.
Oh! it is hopeless. hopeless
And this was his boasted indepcnd-
encc; his ability to drink or leave it oil.
A few weeks later he was found dead
drunk in the streets and was Fiken to
the alms-housc, where he died shortly
afterwards.
l. No one ever seems to awake to his
danger until it is too late. Like the in
fatuated Captain Webb, each thinks he
is able to swim through II worse whirl-
pool than that below Niagara and yet
escape unhurt. The poor swimmers
sad fate is a fair type of any ones Sc.
curitv who once enters these fearful
rapids.
A man who made this same assertion
of his uerfcct command of himself in
this matter was earnestly desired by a
friend to test the question for one month
by entirely abstaining. and he would
hold himself convinced. For argument 3
sake he consented. A few days after
he met his friend, with a very anxious.
haggard face. Grasping his hand. he
told him how his eyes had been opened.
He had no idea it would require such a
struggle to break off his habit of an oc-
casiOnal glass. He saw he must alb
stain not for month only, but for life,
or he would yet become hopeless
slave. He was glad the warning came
in time to save him. YOUTHS Itmpcr-
