From Riches to Affect Poverty.

An old man with a thin. bent form and
a few locks of white hair peeping from
beneath IA rusty old fashioned silk hat
hobblea painfully through Broad street
one afternoon last week and took his
stand near the Mills building. He leaned
YEARLY on his stout stick and appeared
to be in pain. His manne was abso-
lutely passive. He paid no attention to
surrounding ,bjects and spoke to no per-
son.. He simply stood still. Within half
an hour after the close of business i'll the
exchanges at least half a dozen well
known brokers in passing this old gentle.

note into his hand. .Who is that old
man. asked the phase writer of a gen.
tleman who is regarded as a landmark i'll
Wall street.
Il won't mention his name" was the
reply. but he used to be one of the high
rollers down here. He was probably
worth a couple of millions once and
was for years one of the best customers
that the stockbrokers had. Some of those
prosperous men who give him "A quarter

the next day. During the game he al
luded many time to the happy day he
had passed. And what is there in life
after all like a tomorrow full of PROMISE:
That night after reaching his room he

only a slight shock, but it clouded his
brain. if we can call that n cloud which
6xed forever in his mind the happiness
reigning there when it came.
Every day since then has been that
happy Saturday to him. He has just re-
turned from the lake. No matter If the
snow is drifting or the rain is beating
the windows. it has been a perfect day,
everything in divine harmony. He will
go over to Ms for a game OF whist.
Even if Miss Y. meets him he asks If she
is at home. as if he were addressing some
one else: then he is so glad she is up ut
the lake: he is going back tomorrow:
there is every sign of perfect weather.
etc.. all in his old time charming way.
Then he takes up his cards and plays a
capital game and goes home i'll the sweet
expectation OF a happy tomorrow.
All else i'll life seems a blank to HIM
In that one fair niche of memory he secs
all of the past. the present and the fin
ture. He appears to be reading often
times when the book he holds Is up side
down. Death means nothing to him.
When his friends die, he does net weep
nor question nor miss them. He has had
such "a happy day. and he is going to re-
peat it tomorrow.
Naturally his case is of interest &c
specialists. He is never troublesome. lie
goes about the village and exchanges cor
dial greetings. Nor does he always SPEAK
of what is i'll possession of his mind. I'LL
less you hold him too long. Then he la:
excuse for breaking away.
Question-If that last day of his men
tai balance had been an unhappy one
say a day black with anguish or relrorse
or embittered with rag and revenge

The Vayer!y Oaks.

The great oaks at Wayerly. Mass, are
suryivals of an oak forest that must
have existed in that region. according to
the biologists and students of trees. as
far back as the Tenth century. They
bear every evidence of great age. and an
elm tree in the neighorhood. now almost
dismantlad. with its great linus lying
on the ground and nearly al Of its
branches decaye1. Is the most venerable
object in the line of trees that can prob
ably be displayed in New England. 1t
is we'll worth a visit To Nayerly just to
see this venerable elm. 1t il immense in
the size Of lis trunk. and its dignity in
decay Is very impressive. The dozen
oak trees in the neighhoriiood are of the
sort that attain Il very great age and
that maintain their virllity nnimpaired.
We know IF only one other oak tree
in New England that can be compared
with them. That is located III Ipswich,
and is larger and more venerable appar-
entity than any of the Waverly oaks.
and that ani the Waverly oaks, we are
glad To know. have been inspected by
the state park commissioners and are
likely 10 be preserved. 1t is worth ones
while to see and study these majestic
oaks. They are seen to great advantage
in the winter. when their rugged limbs
are bare and their immense strength i
revealed, and in summer, when they are
covered with foliage, they are objects Of
wonderful beauty.-Boston Herald.

BLAND AND SILVER.

Should silver go above its present
level it would mean that gold has fall
len. The truth is that silver bullion
will buy as much Of commodities to-
day as ever; that il has i'll fact fallen,
far as silver goes down as compared
to gold, so do all other things. The
rise Of silver would and does mean
the rise of commodities, or, what is
the same thing, the full Of gold. This
is the true situation. It is not cheap
silver they fear, but it is cheap gold
that they are battling against. They
appreciate the fact that full resto-
ration means the fall of gold; that
the equalization OF the two metals
will be reached by fall Of gold, and
that the fall in value OF gold will be
greater probably than tho rise in sill
YER. Gold will fall and silver will
rise in value, and meeting each other
midway, the parity is restored. The
holders of stock, bonds and mortga-
yes and fixed incomes are determined
there shall be no fall in gold. They
must have the best money in the
world-out another name for the
dearest and scarcest money IN the
world. On this line the battle RACES,
yet the gold advocates are artful
enough to deceive many with the cry
of cheap silver. They see gold going
up from year to year; they see their
pound sterling or their dollar in
creased in value. These increasing
O. q tions on productions 10 pa. t 'eir
demand, measured by gold, increase
from year to year. They shall not es-
cape the logic of the situation by the
deceptive slogan of cheap silver
