Vanderbilt had offered to sell his g..

They probably all feel poor, though.
Tt was folly for Cornelius to put up

house his doting grandfather gave him
on Fourth avenue and Thirty-third
street was very comfortable residence

CrVs

When pastor in Southbridge, Mass,
a gentleman connected with the church
frequently called at the parsonage, &C
companiea by dog of rather small size,
which became pet at the house. He
always went with his master on Sunday
to church, and would lie down at the
doorway Of the pew, which was near
the pulpit. As soon as I commenced
the service the dog would invariably
start and walk into the altar and to the
top of the pulpit steps, and there lie
down facing the congregation and re-
main quiet and attentive listener
through the service. AS the congrega
ton rose at the singing of the last
hymn the dog would retrace his steps to
bis masters pew respectfully wait there
till the benediction was pronounced,
and then retire with his master, The
gentleman removed to an adjoining
town, Six weeks after his removal I
exchanged pulpits with his pastor and
entered the church and pulpit, not hay
ing seen him or his dog since he left
South bridge. When ] commenced ser
vice, the dog recognized my voice, and
scratched at the pew door to be let out;
and, coming to the top of the pulpit
stairs, he lay down as formerly till the
closing hymn, vixen he arose and Went
back to the psw as he did in South
bridge. This surprised the congrega-
tion, IS the dog, always at church, had
remained in the pew quietly, till at this
time, and never went to the pulpit at

A. Genuine Love Story.

A young clergyman and his bride
were invited guests at large party Civ
en- by wealthy parishioner. In all the
freshness and elegance of her bridal
wardrobe the young wife shown among
the throng. distinguished by her come
illness, vivacity and rich attire; and when
during the evening her young husband
drew her aside and whispered to her
that she was the most beautiful wonlan
in all the company, and that his heart
was burning with pride and love for
her, she thought herself the hap
piest woman in the world. Ten
years later the same husband and
wife were guests at the same house,
where was gathered a similar gay
company. The wife Of ten years
wore the same dress she had Worn on
the previous occasion of course it had
been made over, and was old fashioned
and almost shabby. Toll and care and
motherhood and pinched circumstan-
ces had taken the roses out Of her
cheeks, and the 1.-the spirit out Of her
form She sat apart from the crowd
looking careworn and preoccupied.
Her *nall hands roughened with coarse
toll, were unglovea; for the ministers
salary was painfully small.
! A little apart, the ten years husband
stood and looked at his wife, and, as he
observed her faded dress and her weary
attitude, great sense OF all her patient
loving fAithfulness came over his heart.
Looking up she caught his earnest gaze
and noticed that his eyes were filled
with tears. She rose and went to
him, her questioning eyes mutely ask
ing al explanation of his emo
tion. And when he tenderly took her
hand and placing it on his arm led her
away from the crowd and hold her how
he had been thinking of her as she
looked ten years before when she was q
bride, and how much more precious she
was to him now and how much more
beautiful for all, for her shabby dress
and roughcned hands, and how he ap-
preciated al her sacrifices and patient
toll for him and their children, great
wave of happiness filled her heart, a
light shone in her face that gave 1t more
than it's youthful beauty, and in all
this company there WIS not SO happy a
couple as this husband and wife, their
hearts and faces aglow from the flaming
up Of pure sentiment that transfgured
and ennobled and glorifed all the tolls
and privations they had endured.

The Elder Booth .

From the New York Graphic
The painful experience of John
Mccullough in Chicago recently, when
he broke down in the middle Of his
play, recalls an incident in the life Of
the elder Booth, which some old New
Workers may still remember. He was
billed, as they say in the profession, to
appear as King Henry VIII. at the Old
Bowery Theater on g certain evening.
A large and fashionable audience as
sembled, and at the proper time the
curtain rose. AS is we'll known, the
elder Booth occasionally took q drop
too much, and it was ct once seen from
the maudlin. way in which he stumbled
through the first scene on this occasion
that he must have been INDUCING some
what copio11sly. AS last q few misses
from the gallery caught his ear. He
suddenly stopped, and advancing to
the footlights said: Ladies' aud gem
tlemen, you see that am not in o good
condition to play TO night. But it you
will only wait five minutes while 4 go
behind the scenes to cool my head in a
pail Of water, I'll come out and show
you King Henry you ever saw.

Of bed. When letter arrived few
days ago demanding his presence in
New England for three or four weeks he
hesitated to go. He knew just how
broken up the city would be, and he
had his fears that nothing would be

building would at once stop dead still.
However, the prominent citizen decid'

body rushed out to stop him and beg
him to put off his journey, and as far as
he has since learned the council has

was his surprise to find the city still

The city hall hadn't tumbled down, and
he couldn't find grass growing in any Of
the business streets. This was bad
enough, but as he walked up street he
met friend, who called out:
Hello! Blank, going away?"
"No, sir; T have just returned from 8
months trip to New England.
Indeed! Why, I hadn't even missed
YOU"
A few steps further On he encountered
another, who was still more surprised
to hear that he had been absent, and
added:
"And the papers didn't even mention
the fact!"
The prominent citizen reached home
to find everything running as smoothly
and satisfactorily as when he left. II
was a great shock to him, but the eli

door to see Q humble-looking man who

She coughed softly, she patted the

make her break the silence this time.
At length when there seemed an emil

that point when she felt she must speak

what Constitutes II Lady.

Because woman is obliged to econ
omize and re.make her old dresses, it
does not>follow that she is not a lady in
the accepted sense Of the term. a.
"lady" is woman who clearly under
stands and consistently practices the re-
finements Of highly civilized existance;
and the most real distinction between
lady and woman who is not q lady,
is that one is more civilized than the
other, and more, determined to preserve
the habits of high civilization, both in
her own person and in all those over
whom she has authority. These habits
are not simply habits Of expense; it is
cheeper to remain sober than to get tip
sy, and yeti is more ladylike to be so
Der. 1t does not cost more money to
speak good English than bad, or to be
gentle than rude; yet q lady from pref
erence speaks correctly and has gentle
manners. 1t SO happens that there ara
more ladies in the upper classes than in
the lower, and that there is a
severe public opinion in the upper class
about most things which, taken togeth-.
CT, constitute civilization, because it
is fault in rich people who have great
faculties not to be clean, and cultivated
and polite, when it may only be- a mis-
fortune in poor ones. There is, then,
really such thing as ladyhood, and it
is one Of the strongest OF cyiizing in
huences. s. &s, I. #.ttsas;5 4}f3s =
