Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1884-02-13

Years ago, there was in New York
city an old shoemaker who had become
wealthy through his trade and invest
ments in real estate His daughters,
ambitious to move in fashionable life
persuaded him, after much teasing and
coaXing, to set up a carriage. They
then asked that a coat farms should
be painted upon the carriage door
"Ies," said the old man, with that
grim humor characteristic Of the craft,
"yOu may have coat-of-arms, but it
must be one of my own designing,
You may paint lapstone supported
by an awl and a hammer"
The shoemalers daughters continued
to ride in carriage not decorated with
a coat-of-arms. But what they would
not allow their father to do--to tell the
story of his business upon his carriage
"a London shoemaker did do. His
name was James Lackington. and he
added to the profits of his cobbler's
stall by selling few secondhand
books. Abandoning shoe-making for
bookselling, his success was such that
in a few years he was owner of what
he called "the cheapest book-shop in
the world" in which balf a million of
volumes were offered for sale. His
method of doing business was peculiar
to himself. 81 found the whole of
what | am possessed off, he said,
speaking of his fortune, "in small
profits, bound by industry, and clasped
by economy When lie set up
"chariot," as the phrase went in those
days, he put this motto on its doors:
"Small profits do great things" TO
the remonstrances of his friends. he
said:

country shoes by him to remind him

motto on my carriage-doors to remind

When a man who has risen into
fame or wealth feels ashamed of hav.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Flattery is sort of bad money to
which our vanity gives currency.
There is no better excess in the
world than the excess of gratitude
Animals feed, men eat; but only
men Of intelligence know how to eat.
The truest mark Of being born with
great qualities is being born without
envy.
Poverty destroys pride. 1t is diff
cult for an empty bag to stand up
right.
Whatever you dislike in another per-
son, take care to correct in yourself by
the gentle reproof,
Fortune is ever seen accompanying
industry, and is as often trundling in
a wheclbarrow as lolling in coach
and six.
Letters of introduction are not al
ways successful to get a man into So
ciety any more than eloquent obitua-
les to get man into heaven.
Many are ambitious of saying grand
things, that is, of being grandiloQuent.
Eloqucnce is speaking out, a quality
few esteem and fewer aim at.
A more glorious victory cannot be
gained over another man than this,
that when the injury began on his
part, the kindness should begin on
ours.
Generosity is the wealthiest feeling
of the heart. Feel as you would aid
suffering if you could, and you will
have nearly all the self-satisfaction
that you would have had If you really
had relieved distress,

Myths About Stones.

According TO one theory it was a
precious stone in Paradise that fell to
the earth at Adams fall, and was then
lost in the slime of the deluge till it
was recovered by the angel Gabriel.
1t was originally jacinth Of such ex-
treme whiteness that it dazzled peoples
eyes at the distance even of four DAYS
journey, and only gradually became
black as it now is from shame and sor
row for the sins of the world. But ac-
cording to tho better opinion it was
not merely jacinth of Paradise but
the actual guardian angel, who, having
been sent to watch over Adam therein,
was at his fall, and as a punishment
for not having more vigilantly execut-
ed his trust, changed into a stone, and
driven from Paradise, but destined to
resume his angelic form when the days
of the wCrld are all numbered and fin
ished. Both Germany and France
still bear vestiges of the same capability
of thought. In the former you may
still be shown upon certain heath a
large stone, embodying bridal pair
and their followers, who were thus
transformed because the musicians
who attended them continued to play
festive airs, though Il thunderstorm
broke over them as they were driving
over the heath. You may still learn a
lesson, too, from the petrijed form of
a girl who, when once gathering flax
on Sunday, swore she would be turned
into stone sooner than 60 home; or
from two great stones, which are
really boys, so transfXed for quarreling
over so sacred a thing as piece OF
bread, the gift Of God to man.

An Odd Washington Character.

Caleb and Joe Willard are among
the wealthiest of Washington's most
wealthy men, says correspondent
They came here when they were boys,
and worked at odd jobs until they to-
gether leased a tavern where Wizards
hotel now stands. Here they kept no.
tel and made oceans Of money. Joe
Willard is one of the characters of
Washington. All sorts of stories are
told of him. and he is often denOm-
mated the hermit lie lives on Four
teenth street, near the Ebbitt house, in
a great brick house Of dirty white,
which looks like tomb with its tight
ly-cloSel blinds and its forbidding eX-
terror. lie has wife, but he never
goes into society, and he is thought by
many to be Il man-hater. A negro
servant always answers the door, and
it is impossible to gain admittance.
Recently | called on him at his busi-
ness den. Going through narrow
passage over an uneven and dilapidated
floor, ! was shown by the negro iani-
tor up pair of steep stairs, and soon
stood in The presence Of Joe Willard.
the millionaire. A queer looking man
with a big head covered with the whit
est of white hair and the blackest of
black eyes that ever looked into mine,
rose from an old chair as | entered.
Tall, dignined. and rather good look
ing, thought him, and noticed his
great bushy white brows overhanging
his eyes, his big nose and his strong
jaws. lie was beyond a doubt a man of
character. lie was in talkative
mood, and, like many other rich men |
know, his hobby was making money.
He discourSed for an hour on Jay
Gould, Vanderbilt and others, giving
me interesting passages in their ca
reers, and interlading his remarks
now and then with metallic laugh.
Joe Wizards Office is a peculiar
place. Its walls is cracked and the old
est of broken furniture stands about
the room. a CRATE of blazing coal is
framed in a wooden mantel, and on this
stand in arrow fifty or sixty glass ink
bottles, which cost, when full of ink,
perhaps five cents piece. An old
brick or two lies on one table, broken
horseshoe on another and the floor be-
meath has neither carpet ncr rng and
age shows many crack. On the wall
above the mantel are numerous news
paper clippings about wealthy men and
how they had acquired their millions.

The Dreaded Boon.

This gift which, for its own sweet sake,

How should fare
Some day to find (oh, nomecss pang TO bcar)
Its sweetness vanished, never toreturn;
The bitter truth to learn
That had grown to prize

Confirming these sad fears?
For though, in your dear eyes,
Apromise ull their pleading underlies

Sill all my soul is shaken into doubt

his gift once granted. Urge me then no
