were there are men who are fully alive to the
necessities OF the occasion, and the meeting
was productive OF much good. Mayor Good

letter. A general talk was then INDUCED in,
after which, on motion, the following

In previous years the feeling on the part OF
the ring thieves, their satellites and depra we'd
henchmen was intensely bitter, AMI a con
spiracy was formed to kill Morrisscy. A no
torious criminal was brought from Philadel-
phia and employed to commit the crime. He
had already taken the lives Of three persons

man, aud usually melted his enemies. by

murderous weapons in his hands, and
not cease his assault until he bad taken
their lives. He made his headquarters
ON Broa iway and Houston street, at a noted
rendezvous kept by a man by the name Of
Florence. ~
On one occasion he and his companions
paid visit to Morrissey's gambling house

to their usual place Of meeting an altercation
took place between the Philadelphia m,,r.

In the summer Of 1870 crowd of lawless

not attack him, AS the officers of the law,
whom they feared, were on the side of Nor

compish their villainous purpose, they re-
turned to the city greatly disappointed. On
ono occasion they visited the race course and
became gu to insolent and abusive to Nor

a and Wealth.

Health and wealth have many points
in common; first of ali in their very
names. To have health is to be we'll;
to have wealth is also to be well-well
off.
Wealth is for the most part got in
three ways-by Inheritance; by self
denial; by care, labor and attention;
often by some combination of these
three. Wealth is lost by extravagant
expenditure Dr. by carelessnesS and
neglect.
Health may also be got in these
three ways. A nan may inherit it
from his ancestors; he may gain or
keep it by denying his appetites for
luxurious food and drink, and for ex-
cesses of all kinds; he may besides
have to work for it, by pains-taking
exercise, and a constant supervision
over his habits. In brief, unless a
man has inherited a large and vigor-
GUS stock of health, he must do as he
has to do when he does not inherit
wealth-earn it.
He may also lose health by extrav-
agant demands upon it, by reckless
expenditure or by carelessness in
%nurturing and preserving it.
Moreover, the connection between
health and wealth is SO close that if he
spends his wealth lavishly and reck-

Though during the SUMMED months
that IS sufficient for evening dress. In
the morning he puts on his turban,
