Speculation and Theft.

Some statistician, in emulation of
Lombroso, perhaps, has been figuring
out the habitual employment of con
victs. He concludes that more men
and women whose employers are the
national, state or municipal govern
ments fall into evil ways and come to
untoward ends than those who work
for private individuals or corporations.
\. very large proportion of the men and
women who have been handlers of
public moneys seem to yield to the con-
slant temptation and being to specu-
late, and SOM cynic AYERS that pecula-
ton is the corollary of speculation. AS
IL matter of fact, most of the big and
little thieves who confess how they
were led to take money that did not be-
long to them declare that speculations
Of one sort or another brought them
eventually behind the bars.

The Picture and the Original.

4Ilo 1lCUur0 duu TIC OSiSlnal.
The question has been often asked
whether painters should represent the
persons who sit to them adorned with
more charms than they really possess:
The following anecdote may serve as
an answer.
A young ma in a country district of
France received the picture of the lady
whom his friends had destined for his
future wife. Struck with the beauties
which the portrait presented to his
eyes, he hastened Immediately to Paris,
to see the enchanting original. He
found, however. on arriving that the
young lady was void Of every grace. in
short painfully ~plainlooking.
For that reason he wished to with
draw his %pretensions. The parents of
the lady became indignant, and press
ed him to perform his promise.
II will marry the picture you sent
me with all my heart" replied the dis.
appointed swain.
