A BIG WEDDING FEE.
The Generous Uses TO which Henry
Ward Beecher Put II.

In his "Ecccntricities OF Genius" Ma.
Ing Henry Ward Beccher improved his
time by having what he called "a gen
eral houscclcaning" OF his pockets,
which would get loaded up with letters
and papers until they could hold no
more, when he would clear them out
and destroy such papers as were worth
less.
On one occasion Beecher happened
TO put his hand In the watch pocket
OF his pantaloons and found there a
little envelope which he opened. When
he saw It's contents, he called Major
Pond TO sit beside him and remarked:
You remember the evening l married
&. l.. Huntington. / was so much In
terested I'm the subject that l forgot
he handed me a little envelope as he
went out OF the door. put II In the
watch pocket Of my pantaloons and
never thought OF II again until just
now, and here II Is, four 81 900 bills.
Now" he said, don't tell any one
about It, and we will have good time
and make some happiness with this
money. We will just consider that we
found It,"
And so I'm n day or two Mr.. Beecher
went with Major Pond to look mt
cargo OF fine oriental rugs. many OF
which he purchased and sent to differ
ent friends, and nfterward he spent
what remained Of the money for coin
silver lamps, unmountcd gems and va
rous pieces OF bric-a-brac. all Of which
he gave away until he had used up
the entire $4,000 ''ln making happiness
among those whom he loved"
After Mr.. Beechers death the major
related to Mr.. Huntington the incident
of this discovery Of the four $1,000
bills. and the railway magnate observ-
ed: 81 should never have given them
to him. 1t was all wrong. i made a
mistake. Money never did him any
good"
