A Pjucky Young Man.

Here is true story of successful en-
ergy. A young drug clerk wrote from
the Far West to a prominent pharma-
cigt ia New York, saying he would Ike
to come to the city and enter store.
He came, but when the pharmacist
questioned him personally he found that
his visitor had never put up prescrip-
tions in Latin; consequently, he could
not get situation. He did not know a
soul in the great city, nor even the gen.
tleman to whom he had written (until
he met him at his store). He sought in
vain for place, and finally found sub
ordinate position, where he was given
five dollars q week and had to board
himself. He was studious, pushing, act
i've young fellow, and soon managed to
attend the lectures at the College of
Pharmacy. The gentleman with whom
he corresponded took an interest in him,
and invited him to come to his store and
assist in the manufacturing of fluid ex-
tracts. Once he showed his EMPLOYER
what he could do in that line. The man
was surprised. "Why can't you do
something of that kind for me p he
asked. The clerk said he could, and
his salary (Which in the meanwhile had
been slightly increased) was raised to
very respectable proportions. He
worked for time in this way, eventually
receiving a salary of $50 week; finally
he opened laboratory of his own, and
to-day he employs forty or fifty "hands. {"
And yet, when he arrived in New York
he did not have dollar, and was with
out influence and without friends. st.

Old Notions Concerning Bridesmaids

In many parts of Germany it is still
customary for the bridesmaids to bring
the myrtle wreath, which they have
subscribed together to purchase on the
nuptial eve, to the house of the bride.
and to remove it from her head at the
close of the wedding day. After this
has been done, the bride is blindfolded,
and the myrtle wreath being put into
her hand, she tries to place it upon the
head of one of her bridesmaids as they
dance round her; for, in accordance with
an old belief, whoever she crowns is
sure to be married within a year from
that date. As may be imagined, the
ceremony is the source of no small ex-
element, each bridesmaid being natur-
ally anxious to follow the example of
the bride. Referring once more to the
bridal wreath and chaplet, it is still a
current notion in many parts of Eng
land that the bride in removing these
must take special care that her brides
maids throw away every pin. Not only
is it affirmed that misfortune will over
take the bride who retains even one pin
used in her marriage toilet, but woe also
to the bridesmaids if they keep any of
them, as their prospects of marriage will
thereby be materially lessened. In
mary parts of Russia the brides attend
ants are often middle-aged women.
Thus, according to one authority, when
the priest has tied the nuptial knot at
the altar, the clerk sprinkles on her
head a handful of hops, after which
"shes lsmuftied up, and led home by
certain number of old woman"

Learning by Experience.

When a man fails in business or com
mits crime he is usually urged to med
itate upon the lesson which experience
has taught him.
The advice is good, for this stern mas
ter does teach valuable lessons. But
his lessons are often given when it is too
late to profit by them. Though the AK
iom, "It's never too late to mend," may
encourage many despairing ones, yet
there are blunders which are fatal.
The following incident, related by o
young man, illustrates this fact:
One raw day in March, a few years
ago, had occasion to take the Eastern
bound train from Boston. Soon after
leaving the city I started to pass into a
forward car in search of friend.
The wind was blowing a gale, and
had no sooner stepped upon the plat
form than my hat, which I had neg
lected to properly secure, was lifted
from my head and bore far away.
AS the train thundered on I caught
sight of it just beginning a cruise in
neighboring pond.
My hair was blown about in a badly
disordered condition, and, not a little
mortified, L beat hasty retreat into
the Car, and took the first vacant seat.
Many of the passengers had noticed my
loss, and were enjoying hearty laugh at
my expense. But an old gentleman in
the next seat kindly inquired how far
was going, and suggested means by
which I might obtain cap for imme-
diate use.
Not wishing to appear too much
troubled at my loss, I spoke of it
lightly, adding that, at least, I had
learned good lesson.
"Oh, yes," said he; "but that won't
bring back the hat"
His words made clear to me the fact
that a lesson may be learned too late.
Thousands violate the laws of health.
When they are racked with pain, they
learn to care for the body, but it won't
bring back their health.
Many squander money and time.
When old they mourn over their waste
fulness but it will not bring back to
them the lost opportunity or a full
purse.
Regrets seldom bear fruit. They
commonly come too late in life. The
harvest is past and the summer is gone.
The golden pen of wisdom wrote, ere
member nOs0 thy Creator in the days of
thy youth"
Regrets will not harvest from barren
fields. 1t is empty air for the prodigal
to say, amid the falling shadow of years,
eff had my life to live over again how
would I do!'

Perils OF Speculation.
TERRIBLE CONFESSION wRUNG FROM /
CHICAGO BUSINESS MAN.

1t has been discovered in Chicago that
John A. Atkinson has written letter to
Mr.. Davies, his partner, in which he
confesses that he is defaulter to the
amount of $4,000 1t is said the defal-
cation is much larger than this, and
probably will aggregate 100000. Mr..
Davies was seen at his hotel. He said
to reporter:
when I arrived from England on
October 8, clerk handed me letter
written by Mr.. Atkinson, which will ex-
plain much, if not ALL" The letter is as
follows:
81 have most terrible confession to
make. have lost large sum of your
money in speculations on the Board of
Trade, and have used money borrowed
from the banks to pay losses. I don't
know the amount, but it must be over
$4,000. This deception on my part
has been going on long time. Imade
money at first, and encouraged by the
hope of making up some portion of last
tc' losses, I took larger lines, and
was long on lot of stuff when the panic
came last May. Then it was impossible
to sell out, so sold quantity of pork
short, and was caught in the Armour
corner. I still held on to all the stuff
after paying the loss on pork, and, about
five weeks ago, was within few thou
sand dollars of being even; but prices
collapsed and left matters worse than
ever. All these months I have been de-
ceiving the banks as to the position we
we're in, hoping that it would come out
all right. But it went on from bad to
worse, and every effort I made to make
money only plunged me deeper into the
mire. A great many trades are still

A WFUL HARD LINES.

Though you should come and kneel low at my
feet
And weep in blood-red tears of agony,
1t would not bring one single pang to me,
Nor stir my heart out of its quiet beat.
There was time when any word you spoke,
When just the sound of your melodious voice
Would thrill me through and make my heart
rejoice.
Your will was law. But now the spell is broke.
You rudely woke me from my dream of bliss.

You sought to see how much my heart would
bear
Such things 1 can forgive; but never this.
And though an angel, with shining brow,
Should come from heaven and speak to me,
and say:
''Go with this man and be his own alway,
l would defy her, rather than trust you now.
Though you should pray me, writhing in white
pain.
For2 Just one last earess, and should know
That YOU were draining all the dregs of woe,

This is a woman's love, woman's pride.
There is a stream that never can be crossed;
1t rolls between us, and the trust lost
Was sunk forever in the seething tide.

BEARS AND CATAMOUNTS.
Farmers In Pennsylvania Unable to Protect
their Sheep and Pigs.

A letter from Honesdale, Fa., says
Bears and catamounts are so numerous
in the townships of Lehigh and Dreher,
in the southwestern corner of this coun-
ty, and in the adjoining township OF
Greene, in Pike county, as to be posi-
tive nuisance to the farmers. Their
raids on sheep folds and pig pens are
almost nightly. One farmer, Emory
Gilpin of Greene, has had thirty sheep
carried away during the past few weeks,
and other farmers losses have been cor
respondingly large. Until deer hunting
began, on the first of the month, the
hunters of the region did what they
could to rid the neighborhood of the
animals. They have hunted constant
ly, and twelve dead bears and seven
dead catamounts have been the result.
This, it was thought, would rid the
three townships of the animals, but
soon after the hunters turned their at
tention to the more congenial- sport of
deer hunting, and sought the districts
best suited to them, the bears and cata.
mounts returned to their haunts in the
neighborhood of the backwoods pastures
and pig pens, and for the past week or
so have been as bold and destructive in
their raids as ever.
Several days ago Thomas Bran sur
prised bear Juggling off sheep from
his lot, in Dreher township. By the
time he returned to his house and got
his gun, Bruin was we'll into the wood
with his prey. He was followed and
overtaken a quarter of a mile in. A
shot from Bram's rifle caused him to
drop the carcass of the sheep and take
himself off. The same afternoon a boy
who was sent to watch in the field dis
covered large catamount in beech
tree at one edge of the lot. The boy
was armed with a rife, and drew up at
once and fired at the catamount. The
animal dropped from the tree and ran
round and round in a circle, yelling
fearfully. This frightened the boy, and
he dropped his gun and lost no time in
getting to the farmhouse and giving the
alarm. A farm hand hurried to the
lot, and found the catamount lying dead
about one hundred feet from the tree.
The boy had shot it in one eye, and the
ball had passed through the head and
come out at the base of the left ear.
Since then no less than four bears have |
been seen in the day time lurking in the
same neighborhood, and catamounts are
heard nightly. The farmers announce
that they will gladly welcome all hunters
to the region, and take good care of
them, if they will only hunt these four
footefmarauders down.

A Famous Mansion.

The famous Ridgeley house at Hamp-
ton, Va, writes a correspondent, is one
of the historic country seats which has
maintained its stately superiority for
one hundred years. 1t was built in 1888,
and stands in the midst of an estate of
six thousand acres. The facade of the
house is one hundred and eighty feet in
ength, with offices attached. The spa
cious grounds and terraced garden are a
model of the kind. A Washington
gentleman mentions that he had often
been one of fifty visitors entertained
there when each had bed the same
night.
