STOCK EXCHANGE REVIEW.


New YORK, March 16.-The stock market
was weak to day, and under heavy selling
developed more than usual activity, and in
some cases material declines were estab.
lished. Missouri Pacific was first attacked
on rumor that the road would not pay a
dividend this quarter. Union Pacific was
attacked on the report that the strike had
extended to that road. There was better
feelingjnst before the close and some small
gains we made, but they had no effect on
the general list and the arket closed weak
at about the lowest prices of the day.
Government bonds we're dull but steady.
Petroleum opened firm at 97as, and after
slight decline became strong and ad-
vanced to 977s. slight reaction followed,
and the market closed steady at 971a. Sales,
617,0O0 barrels.

BLESS HIS HEART.-Poverty found
out Of place is a pathetic sight; but
the kindness that relives its mortifca-
tion and its wants Is never out of
place-and never so sweet as when
seen in q child. An Illinois paper
furnishes this little incident and scene,
all the more pleasing and illustrative
of fine feeling because if happened on
a railroad train.
In a very elegant palace car enter
ed weary-fa faced, poorly-dressed wo-
man with three little children-one a
babe in her armS A look ofioy crept
into her face as she settled down into
one Of the luxurious chairs, but il was
dispelled as she was asked rudely for
her ticket, and then told she had no
business here, but must 60 into the
next car.
A smile Of amusement was seen on
several faces as the frightened group
hurried out to enter one of the COM
mon cars. Upon one young face, how
ever, there was look of distress.
"Auntie," said a boy to lady be-
side him, 81 want to carry my basket
of fruit and this box of sandwiches to
the poor woman in the next car. Are
you willing?"
He spoke eagerly, but she answer
ed, don't be foolish, my dear; you
will need them yourself"
mo, I'll not need them," he an
swered decidedly. but in a very low
tone. "You know l had a hearty
breakfast, and don't need lunch.
The woman looked hungry, auntie,
and SO tired, too, with those three lit
tie babies clinging to her. I'll be
back in a minute, auntie; l know
mother would't like it if didn't speak
a kind word to them"
The worldly aunt looked after him
with tender expression on her face
and said audibly, "Just like his dear
mother T.
Later, as the lady passed the moth
er and the three children, she saw a
pretty sight-the family feasting-the
dainty sandwiches eagerly eaten, and
the fruit basket open.
The eldest child. with her mouth
filled with bread, said, "Was the pref
ty boy an angel, mamma ?"
mo" answered the mother, and
grateful look frightened her faded
eyes, "but he is doing angels work,
bless his dear heart r.
And We, too, said "Bless his dear
heart r. Peoria Call.

How TO MAKE YOURSELF UNHAPPY.
In the first place, if you want to
make yourself miserable, be selfish.
Think all the time of yourself and
your things. Don't care about any
thing else. Have no feelings for any
but yourself. Never think of enjoying
the satisfaction of seeing others happy;
but rather, if you see a smiling face,
be jealous lest another should enjoy
what you have not. Envy every one
who is better off than yourself; think
unkindly towards them, and speak
lightly of them. Be constantly afraid
lest some one should encroach on your
rights; be watchful against il, and if
any one comes near your things, snap
at them like mad dog. Contend
earnestly for everything that Is your
own, though it may not be worth a
pin. Never yield a point. Be very
sensitive, and take everything that is
said to you in playfrlness in the most
serious manner. Be Jealous of your
friends lest they should not tnink
enough of you; and if at any timr
they seem to neglect you, put the
worst construction upon their conduct.
