A Curious Experien ce.

A well known philatelist of New
York city had a curious experience a
few days ago, He attended an auc-
ton sale Of stamps, and bought one
lot "blind;" that is, he had not ex-
amined it particularly, but purchased
It because it sold at a nominal figure.
On examining the stamps he was sur
prised to find among them an early
Wurtenburg issue still on the original
envelope and apparently addressed to
his own business firm. The postmark
showed that the letter had been
mailed in 1861. The address was
simply New York city" but refer
ence to an old city directory showed
that a firm Of similar name had been
located in Cedar street more than
40 years ago-N. Y. Post.

TRAVELLING MEN.
Are a Real Part of Our Great Edu-

great body Of Irrational educators, says
the Richmond Times. To the re-
hottest hamlet they carry the news
of everything new under the sun.
All that science, art, literature and
invention have produced they quick
ly place before their customers.
The discomforts Of travel and the
weary anxieties Of their nomadic life

when they will nc longer wander from
their own fresides. have seen him
at the little lonely country depot,
waiting for the belated snow-bound
midnight train. The weary winter
wind was moaning through the sob
bing wires as he paced restlessly
about the dimly lighted depot, De-
casionally he would take out his
watch, not to see the time of night,
but to look at the one 'fair woman
under the sun"-she and none other,
his wife.
As he put up the watch he muir
INJURED Good bless her" The simple
prayer came from the depths of his
loving heart, and it went straight to
heaven. Love of home and family is,
I belive, stronger with commercial
travellers than any other class ofmen,
the old aphorism, "absence makes
the heart grow fonder," finding its
fullest exempliiication in the ranks
Of this great army Of home-loving
men.
When things "are coming his way''
he is liberal and generous to fault
nothing is too good for him or his.
When it is otherwise, he accepts the
situation regretfully but philoso-
phically, and proceeds to sacrifice
himself for those he loves. l have
known him to carry his heavy grip
from the trains to the hotel and make
the old %overcoat do another winter
that the dear boy at home might have
a bicycle. l have known him to quit
smoking, saying that it didn't agree
with him, that he might send the
money to mother, who was having a
hard time back in the old home in a
distant state.
The bright oasis in their lives il
when the six weeks trip is over and
for a week or ten days they enjoy the
company and surroundings Of home
and the sweet, noble wife and the
prattle of the children.
Thousands of these men, amid all
their hardships and priyations, bear
q love and loyalty to home as sacred
as the memories which connect ~
with the love of a sainted mother o.
a Sainted wife. BY life, example and
conversation they stand for q clear
and upright manhood.
