There is young widower with two
or three motherless little ones living
in the seventeenth district of Sum
ter county who shows that he is wor-
thy to be a father If not mother.
After working hard all summer at his
crops, making all the bread andmeat
necessary, for his loved ones, he gets
his mother to cut out clothing for hi,
household, and then .sits down tc
make them himself. Last week he
made up 30 garments, and says he
likes the business.

IN COMMON Dust.

The sudden death of VIM. H. Van
derbilt, the New York millionaire,
was caused by paralysis of the brain.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was probably the
richest man in America, his wealth
wealth being estimated at $3.50, 000.-
600. OF this he inherited about S75,-
900, 900 from his father Commodore
Cornelius Vanderbilt, which he
doubled in the course of his life.
Fifty of Mr.. Vanderbilt's millions
are said to be invested in United
States four per cents, and the checks
which he receives for interests are
larger than those paid to any other
of Uncle Sans creditors. His in
come was $500 minute. Mr.. Van
oerbilt was sixty-seven years old.
He recently gave 100000 to the
College of Physicians and Surgeons.
In his splendid brown stone house on
Fifth avenue, almost opposite to St.
Patrick's Cathedral, are many pic
lures by the foremost of living ar
lists. He had given over 100000 to
Vanderbilt University at Nashville,
and had some time since resigned ac-
tive control of his New York Central
and Hudson River and Lake Shore
and Michigan Central railroads,
which his father had operated before
him. Mr. Vanderbilt leaves three
sons and two daughters.

GOD KNOWS.

God has sympathy with anybody
that is in any kind of toll. He knows
how heavy is the load Of bricks that
the workman carries up the ladder of
the wall; He hears the pickaxe of
the miner down in the coal shaft He
knows how strong the tempest strikes
the sailor at the masthead; He sees
the factory-girl among the spindles
and knows how her arms ache; He
sees the sewing-woman, in the fourth
story and knows how few pence she
gets for making garment; and loud
er than all the din and roar of the
city comes the voice of sympathetic
God: Cast thy burden on the Lord,
and He shall sustain thee. Tai
mage.

When you hear man sneering at
the local papers because they are not
as big, cheap and newsy as the other
papers, you can safely bet that he
does not squander his wealth to as
sist in making them better, and that
generally the papers have done more
for him than he has for them. The

SYSTEMATIC DTNNING.

Out OF the credit system, as it has
been practiced, in this section, since
the late internecine war has grown
the necessity of systematic dunning.
The season opens usually about the
first Of September, and it is then car
rled on vigorously to the end of the
year, and in some instances where it
is more appreciated than in others it
is prosecuted even after the holidays.
Dunning often shows up human
character about as we'll as army SER
vice did. Some men rebel as soon as
1t is attempted upon them and at once
fling the dun and the amount called
for at the creditor with the threat to
ruin him by never asking credit of
him again. Some crditors feel NOR
titled at having wounded the feelings
of their customers and at the same
time rejoice that their dun accom-
plished the desired result.
Other creditors rejoice that they
will not be asked again for credit
from man whose temper has Undue
ed him to settle bill that his con-
science or judgment should have in
duced him to pay long since.
The dun sometimes actually serves
as a reasons why a just and valid
debt should not be paid. | would
&aye paid you if you had not sent me
that insulting yet respectfully dun.
Now | will never pay it. know
you can not sue it out of me and that
dun shall settle debt of honor be-
tween you and me. Now get your
money if you can.
Dunning develops the inventive
faculty in some men. When first
dunned they will designate time in
the future at which they will endeav-
or to pay as they have not the money
just then when that designated peri
cd arrives and the dunning gimlet is
applied they either set another peri
cd or invent a set off of some charac-
ter. They remember that they did
50 and for which they have never
been paid or there was no charge to
be made tor this or that. With the
conscience of some men the best way
in the world to settle just debt is
by invention. And some men should
actually have II patent on what they
have gotten up on this line. We
doubt not but they would if the use
of their invention by others deprived
them of anything.
Dunning has also the result of re-
calling payments made and not cred
tied and thereby reminding the cred
itor that he should be more careful.
But our principal idea in writing
this article was to suggest that anger
should not follow the reception of a
dun for money due. Often is it the
case now that Jones being dunned is
forced to dun Smith in order to get
the money to pay his Indebtedness.
And so the man who gets mad about
I
being dunned may have have to dun
some other fellow. Then would you
not think it very strange in him to
get mad at your asking him for mon
ey he owed you!
Let us all keep in a good humor
when the dun puts in an appearance
however unwelcome it may be-

WOMAN.

Woman is at once sincere and
hypocrittcal. Coquetry is nothing
but gilded and refined hypocrisy, and
all women are coquettes to a greater
or lesser degree. 1t is perhaps a wise
provision of nature that they can dis
semble. They are called on to do a
deal of it. For instance, when a
stupid young man who cannot see
when he is bore calls on a young
lady who does see that he is a bore
and feels it keenly, she must dissem-
BILE. For instance, again, when a
woman meets another woman she
does not like, but whose acquain-
lance is social necessity, she must
dissemble, and does SO by kissing her
on the cheek and saying, MY dear"
SHAKESPEARE says:
Ill the world a stage
And all the men and women merely players.
But most of the playing is done by
the women. Their lives are more
theatrical than men. They can firt
Tor the mere fun of the thing, while
men always have a serious purpose of
some sort at the bottom of their firt-
ing. Men are direct, women are evas-
i've. All this on the mere surface.
This is the picture of society as we
see it whirling past us in ten thou
sand tints and shadows. This ii is
in the fashionable thoroughfare, in
the dazzling ballroom, at the COR
geous opera and in the reception-room
at home. Formally, formality ;
meaningless compliments, batteries,
making endearments, with woman
everywhere in the lead, the creator
and compounder of all. But under
meath the surface there is another
world, a quiet, peaceful domain where
woman is earnest, and where her sin
cerity and devotion outshine every
other virtue, and where her life be-
comes priceless treasure. This in
sincere triAer of the whirligig of so
ciety becomes the faithful, loving wife
and the tender, patient mother. The
tables are turned; the man now be-

anchor that forever pulls him back

obligation. Thus, after all, she Of

Fred Warde once spent a very hot hour
in Boston. 1t was benefit to some old
and well-known Bostonian and all the
professionals were represented in the
bill. Warde was down for an act Of
Orchard IIT'-the tent scene. 1t was a
terribly hot night Some of the iokers
of the profession got hold of Warde early
in the evening and kept him out of the
way until it was just time for him to
dress and go on. He reached the thea
ire. He found the fiends had heated his
armor to point that it was hardly bear
able, but he had to put it on. He strug-
gled on the stage, the perspiration break
ing from every pore and washing all his
makeup Off. He got to the tent and
while he lay asleep there they covered
him with rugs and he couldn't protest.
When he got off he was fairly broiled,
but the jolers had disappeared and they
gave him time to cool before they came
near him.

The mighty river of blue-green waters

Sturgeon and His Sexton.

London Truth.
At tea-drinking in London the other
day; Mr., Sturgeon, speaking Of his i'll
health which has so much interrered
with his work, said, in his usual spirit of
fun, that he had sometimes thought of
giving up preaching, knowing that he
had some remarkable deacons gifted
in speech. But he remembers the story
of the sexton to whom a clergyman
said: would you like to take the
preaching on Sunday morning" The
reply was; "Wel, think l could fill
your place, but then how would you get
another such sexton p So Mr.. Spurgeon
thought he had better keep to the preach
ing, for he did not know how to get an
other such deacon. He could afford to
say this, for there is no minister who
makes more use of the lay element.

some very odd features: 1.-The largest
ones are not more than two iuches long,
and the smallest so small it would require
a microscope to distinguish it from an
atom of green moss. They have large
black eyes set prominently in the head,
which is the largest part of the fish. The
tails are red and forked There is no
numbering their legs, which seem to
