Upon one page my verse and yours has thrown.

JAY COOKE RICH AGAIN.
vIcissitudes of Fortune in the Career of the
Noted Banker.


Among the pushing throng of Broad
way to-day was an old gentleman clad
more in the garb of a countryman than
that of great financier. His clothes
were plain, and his white slouch hat
with it's broad brin gave him the ap-
pearance of well-to -do-farmer. The
hair and beard OF Jay Cooke is now
snow white, but he still moves along
as if contented with life. No one
familiar with his everyday appearance
would think he was the famous banker.
the man who has handled more mil
lions than any other private individual
in America; failed for more money
than any other, and finally has grown
rich again after he had grown old.
While he is by no means as familiar a
figure as he used to be. and does not min
gle in the uncertainty of 'the street"
as of yore. he is more frequently seen
among the hustle of business than al
most any man of his age.
Jay Cooke has had singular career.
When the war broke out he lived out
along Lake Erie, at Sandusky, and Sal
mon p. Chase, while Secretary of the
Treasury, first gave him Il big start in
life, which he followed to disaster, and
then built anew from nothing. Mr..
Cooke never forgot or neglected his
home in Ohio. and one of his charities,
is beautiful home on an island in
Lake Erie, II few miles from Sandusky,
which he bought and named "Gibral-
romantic walks, and built a commodi-
Gus stone castle upon it. He provided
the house with every imaginable com
fort and put into it competent house
keeper. To this retreat he would in
vite each summer ministers of the gos-
pei OF different denominations who
could lily afford to take u summer
vacation.
Mr.. Cooke lives with his son-in-law
now, Mr.. Barney, who does business
near the famous old clearinghouse on
Third street, in Philadelphia, over
which Mr.. Cooke once presided, and
where the Northern Pacific railroad
was projected. In many respects Jay
Cooke will go down to history as one
of the remarkable men OF our time. In
u little church out ut Frankfort, near
Philadelphia, he has son preaching
to u congregation who can hardly af-
ford to pay him salary enough TO liqui-
date his horse hire. SO the curious
turns OF life are again illustrated in
Mr.. Cookies career and in that OF tue
family he has raised. IN. Y. Letter.

and envelopes, so carefully bestowed
on top of his trunk by his wife, and
left them on the bed.
Hang it!' he said. "What q fool
was, to be sure! Waiter, have you pa
per and envelopesp"
"Pll get ye some, sur" said the
waiter, "but it's an extry."
Every WELL" said Mr.. Rufus.
And the man ran away, and soon re-
turned with an envelope bearing on it
the name of the O'Dowd House, and a
sheet of paper on which the artist had
drawn from his imagination a palatial
hotel, up the steps of which thronged
many gorgeous guests, and over the
door of which shone this inscription

"Thank Heaven, / shan't be obliged
to go far, he sighed; and crossing the
street rs hastily as man might who
could not bend joint, he entered the
store.
II want some Clothes" he said to the
clerk who approached him. Some
rascal has changed mine for these in
the Turkish bath house yonder | was
obliged to wear them so far, for I'm
not at home. | live out of town."
'Yes, sir; very annoying; very an
noying," said the clerk. Certainly,
they're not what we might call a fine
tit, sir, What shall show you, sir?"
The best you have said Mr.. Rufus.
q"
Here he dived into his pockets, and
pulled out some keys.
"Hang it!' he said. "The rascal
has taken my pocket-book! However,
I'm Job Rufus, of Rufustown. Been in
business there thirty years. You'll let
me have them, and I'll send you down
check; or, rather, I'll bring it in to-
morrow. / shall have to telegraph
home at once for a money order"
1--WE don't do business that way in
New York." said the clerk, instantly
growing stony and folding away the
garments he had taken down just then.
"See here" said voice at his ear,
"come along quietly unless you want a
row. There are two more OF us. I'm
armed and have handouts in my
pocket. My name is Burke"
"Good heavens!" cried Mr.. Rufus,
retreating, "has it come to this, that
highwaymen attack one openly at
noondayP Help! some one. Help!
Thieves! Murder! Help!"
In an instant more a pair of hand
cuffs were on his wrists.
The clothing clerks gathered around
him. A patriarch with flowing white
beard. who would have done for Moses
in tableau. but who was really the
proprietor of the place, joined the
group.
Venerable sir" cried Mr.. Rufus,
don't see me murdered before your
eyes. I'm Job Rufus, of Rufustown.
