A Man Whom Vanderbilt Made.

There arrived at the Palmer house
yesterday quiet little man that one
would put down for an actor. Young
looking. without silver hair, yet he il
20 years of age. Many years ago he was
struggling for q living in New York
State. Suddenly he was a millionaire I;
then almost as suddenly he had not a
penny. Again the scenes shifted and he
had moro pennies than an English SYM
dictate. After four or five years on the
top wave again he was down. This is
brief history of John Harker.
When Commodore Vanderbilt was
searching the United States for a mate
for his fyer. Mountain Boy, Mr.. Harker,
then a small horse trader, appeared in
New York aud presented Commodore
Vanderbilt with Lady Planet.
Il think I've matched your horse"
said Mr.. Harker. IF Mountain Boy and
Lady Planet make swift team you are
welcome to my horse. don't want
cent for her."
1t was swift span, as every body
knows. The commodore beat every
team on the road and held the double
team record for years. John Harker
was not forgotten. He was given stocks.
bonds. &c, which made him worth soma
$500, 600 in little while. Harker was
not satisfied and the many whirls he
took on Wall street soon caused his for
tune TO disappear. Again Commodore
Vanderbilt placed him on the top shelf.
The erst-w while horse then retired
king for few years, until I've found his
way TO Wall street once more. His as
ISOLATION with the bulls and the bears
soon caused separation between him
and his coin and for the third time he
joined the bread-winners. Now he has
a fair competency aud enjoys life.

WHAT is GOOD SOCIETY,"
rho True Association of Gentlemen and
GentIewomon.

rho True Association of Gentlemen and
GentIewomon.
Good society is that where toadyism IL
rrowned down upon and scandal moagers
are not admitted.
Good society is that where one earns
ones title to gentlewoman not only by
Firth but by good manners.
Good society is that where men are re-
pectful, where ofr-color stories are not
old, and where the women do not smoke
cigarettes.
Good society is that where to under
stand Greek is of less importance than to
understand courtesy in all its laws.
Good society is that which is not per-
sonal in its talk, but which finds sufii-
cient topics of interest to discuss without
dilating on the sins of its neighbors.
Good society is that where the art of
welcoming the coming and speeding the
parting guest is graciously practiced.
Good society is that where women are
not hastily judged, but once they are be-
LEVIED to be untruthful, deceitful and ILL.,
Lrel they are ostracised.
Good society is that which can give a
dinner without sending notice OF 1T to
the newspapers, can introduce a daugh-
ter without having her frocks made the
subject of paragraph, and which be-
lieves that the family and its happiness
is of more Importance than the booming
of beauty or the being counted among
the Four Hundred.
Good society is that which, while it
recognizes the value of all the conven-
tional rules, is yet sufficiently strong to
be guided occasionally by hearts, and not
of necessity to follow leader, as sheep
do.
Good society is that which is formed
when two or three are met together in
pleasant converse. You can, if you will,
though yours be only room in board
ing-house, make the best society in tho
world there Bah.
