paid for good investment securities, and in
the growing inquiry for tho of less pre-
ferred value. Owners of money naturally
desire to get as large an income from it as
they can, and though they aim at doing it
with the least possible risk, they will. under
the pressure of necessity, take larger risk
rather than get no income at all.
The spectators, pure and simple, discern
ing this tendency on the part of investing
capitalists. seek to step in before them and
to buy securities now depreciated, but
which they either have reason to believe
will become more desirable, or which at
least they hope will do SO. Thus the game
is set going, and, as it goes on, it becomes
more and more exciting and draws in those
who at first stood aloof from it. Finally,
unless something happens to arrest its
career, it pushes prices up SO high that the
most enthusiastic players are forced to ad-
NIT that they can go no higher, and then
comes the inevitable reaction. of course,
each player means to get out before the
crash comes, and l hope that those of my
readers who take a hand in the game will see
to it that they are successful in this respect,

wYLLIE's FIRST CHECKER BOARD.

:, Fifty years ago, says a correspondent in
the kilmarnOck dnddrd, very near relatives
of mine then lived at Lakeside, Kilmarnock.
1 have frequently heard them relate how
the Herd Laddie'' when u boy used to
frequent their house. He was of IA very re-
served and thoughtful nature and would
slip into their kitchen, more especially if he
chanced to observe that the hearth-stone
was clean and white. Once in, he would
place himself down on the hearth, and from
the ashes take piece of charcoal. With this
he would on the hearth draw out lines of q
Dam-brod," as it was called. Then, from
the same quarry, he would take pieces of
round and square cinders and use them as
men. There the boy would sit, wrestling,
as 1t were, or playing against himself, man
about, till he was forced to remove-t to allow
of some piece of domestic work being done.
can easily imagine that it was while thus
engaged and under that lOwly matched roof
that he invented and fixed in his mind some
of those most ingenious shifts which ne put
to such good purpose in after Years and by
which he. has since earned for himself !.

SAVED BY THE GUARD RAIL.
A Narrow Escape From a Disaster on the
New York L.

New YORK, Dec. 27.-An accident, with
probable loss of life, was narrowly averted
to-day on the Sixth Avenue Elevated Rail-
road. One of the engines jumped the track
at Park Place, causing a delay of an hour
and blockade. A train approached the
blocked cars. The engineer seemed oblivi-
Gus of the blockade before him until within
10 feet of it. Then he put on the brakes.
1t was too late. The engine crashed into
the rear car. The passengers were thrown
from their seats The rear car was deraiIed
and but for the guard rail would have top
pied over into the street below. No one
was hurt. The members of the company
are very reticent.

A Timely Favor.

A sense of humor has never been a
bar to ecclesiastical preferment, and,
indeed, it sometimes happens that dig
nitaries of the church are famous for
their witticisms. This is the case with
a certain clergyman of the Church OF
England. a man of Irish birth. who
was lately raised to an exalted bish-
opric.
Accompanying his appointment.
there was a certain reimbursement of
employments and preferments in the
diocese, and with it came few promo
tions.
At this time the new bishop was WIS.,
tied by curate whose manners and
services had not commended him to
his ecclesiastical superiors, aud who
thought that his time had now come
to make decided push for Giving

call met man by the name of Brown,
who had invented an improved button
holemaking attachment for n we'll

name, preceded by hideous carica-
ture of his face, had been omnipresent
in the advertisements for some time.
He had two charming daughters whom
the lady had seen, not long before,
and with whom she had been greatly
pleased.

ceeded in addressing Mr.. Brown by his
rightful name only by great mental
exertions, as another word was con-
stantly trembling on her lips.
At last he rose TO go. and with a sigh
of relief she heard his "good-evening,
to which she responded with her sweet
est smile, and added, please remem-
Der me kindly TO the Misses Button
