He had much in- tellectual force, and his comrades snp- posed wonld study a profession. "No," was hi* answer. "Money is power. I am going to be rich 1" . His means were limited. He went into business, and worked by day and night to achieve success. He had been fond of history and of literature, but he never opened a book now, unless it concerned his trade. He had strong religious feelings, but as time passed, he ceased to consider his relation to God or to his fellow-men, except as a vender of goods which thev should buy. He succeeded in his purpose. By the time he had reached middle- agehe was at the head of an immense bu iness, and was one of the solid wealthy men of his city. Outside of his busioees hf had no in­ terest or influence, and sought lot none. Other Wealthy men tried to work re­ forms, to better the world; or they* widened their lives by travel or study, by the love of art, or of books, or they became faithful servants of God. But Jones lived only for his business; he was penurious in his household and a hard, grinding employer. His wife and children feared him, and his work­ people hated him. "Aioney is power" he quoted as his motto throughout his life. He had two sons, neither of whom be educated, although they were heirs to a vast fortune. They were put into "the house" as soon as they understood arithmetic, and worked their way up to the higher positions. "What do they want with college training, or society, or religion ?" their father was wont to say. "Let them learn the business. That is to be their life." Our story has a brief ending. At sixty, still in the prime of life, Jones was struck down with a nervous disease, the result of overwork. He fled to Europe; to the Nile; turned his baok in terror to his work, but to no purpose. He died after months of ag­ ony. The enormous responsibility of the business devolved on his eldest son, a man weak in body and mind. He suc­ cumbed in less than a year, with soften­ ing of the brain, and lived an idiot. The other boy threw up the business and plunged into wild dissipation. He had been given neither education nor principles to restrain him. It was not long until the whole accumulation of years was scattered. The story is true aul needs no moral. A is not often that the claims of the body, the brain, and the soul, when neglected, vindicate themselves by so swift and terrible results. But sooner or later they avenge themselves inex­ orably, and no money has power to avert a single p an which they infiiet-- Youths' Companion. Liie in a Flat. 5 Ifave you ever been in a New York flat? It is like playing keep house. There are seven or eight rooms, all on one floor. They are all small, and tbe only difference between them is that some are smaller than the others. Some of them are lighted by windows to the outer world. Some of the rest are more or less lighted by windows opening into air shafts, BO that you can very conven­ iently smell what all your neighbors are having for dinner. Some of them have no windows at all.. Now and then you find a fiat with closets in it, where yon can hang your clothes. When you do catch a thing of this kind, it is your duty to gather it in right away, because the chances are that you won't see an­ other if you live to be 1,100 years old. A few flats have private hallways run­ ning through them. More of them can only be promenaded by going through the various rooms. It is nice, if you have a guest, to go roaming through his bed-room in the morning, or to have him came through yours, if he wants to reach the dining-room. All your cook­ ing must be done in a little bit of a place no bigger than a yacht's gallery, and all your coal, groceries, and other things come up on a dumb-waiter that makes a noise like a ten-cylinder print­ ing press. The janitor in variably amuses himself by starting this machine about <> in the morning and keeping it going until 10. Then he couldn't be hired to touch it again before bed-time. There is a speaking-tube running from your flat down to the front door. They tell you it is put there so that when your bell rings you can whistle down and find out who it is before you open the door. It isn't there for anything of the sort. It is simply so that the street arabs can pull yonr bell and then whis­ tle up to tell you to go and soak your head, or something equally nice and reassuring. There are two doors at the foot of the stairs. The outside door is left open daytimes, and closed at night after a certain hour. You haven't any key to it, and all the bell- handles but one are inside, between the doOrs. That handle is supposed to lead to the janitor's room. But he goes out into the back yard, or up on the roof to sleep, so that when you come home late and xing, he will be sure not to hear you. Under these circumstances the only chance yon have to get in lies in breaking down the door, in whiob case you will probably be arrested for bttrglarly. For all these reasons, liv­ ing in a flat is hardly the poetic idea of sweet, and serene happiness.--New York Letter. Hew Howthefoe was taken. .. v "While Hawthorne was ever ready to sit for his portrait, he objected strenu­ ously to having his photograph taken. J.

In Crow Hill penitentiary a feyr hundred of men and women start with the raw material and turn out 3,800 pair of shoes in ten hours, or more than six pair of shoes a minute. The men and women have : little to Ho with it> Machines do the work, and only need to be fed, started, and stopped; all the fine and ingenious work of building a beautiful shoe they do, one part at a time and one machine to each part. For instance the first machine cuts the soles out of the leather. It is nothing bnt a punch fitted with a knife the shape of the shoe sole. Different sized knives cut out any thing, from a baby's to a plan­ tation darky's size. Cutting out the soles leaves the sheets of leather in tat­ ters. The biggest tatters are used for heels; the Smallest make fuel. Leather scraps make as good a furnace fire as coal does. The next machine splits the thin slice of the upper surface of the sole a little way from the edge all around, so that it looks as if a thin sheet had been pasted on to the sole, leaving the edge unposted. Under this loose edge a machine presses a little gutter or channel in which the nailing or sewing is done, and afterward hid­ den by pasting the loose edge over it when the upper is attached. At the same moment other convicts are cutting uppers out of sheets of dressed calfskin. They lay patterns on the skins and thus cut the needed sizes. This is done by hand, but the linings are sewed to the uppers, and the but­ tonholes are put through both leather and lining by machinery. The button­ holes are stitched by automatic ma­ chines, consisting of a sewing machine having under the needle a little plate which turns exactly in accordance with the outlines Of the buttonhole, and stops when the buttonhole is finished. One man feeds several machines; starts them, and does not touch them while they are at work. After this the soles and uppers come into the hands of one set of convicts, the lasters and tuckers on, who put the two together with very few small tacks. These people all work like lightning, bnt are slow beside the machinery. The soles and Tippers are firmly joined in several ways. One machine puts in brass screws and bites them off exactly at the right distance between the upper and the under surface of the leather; another drives in an iron screw with the same nicety; another screws the parts together with wax thread, the thread passes through a heated metal horn, which keeps it soft and warm; yet another imitates hand sewing with yellow thread, leaving nn extended sole, which is afterward beveled to look pretty. The merit of this machine is that the shoes it sews are pliable and easy to the foot, and brings a good price* This does its work in eleven seconds. The heels are made separately, and when finished have all tho nails pro­ jecting half an inch below the bottom of the lower sheet of leather. A con­ vict puts one of these heels into a metal cup in a press of great power, and over that he rests a shoe in the right position. Then down conies a great bar and squeezes the heel and toe together, driving every other nail all the w.»y in and leaving every other nail sticking a little way out He takes the shoe out, puts a pretty heel tap to it, puts the shoe back, submits it to the pressure, and then withdraws it, and finds the tap firmly nailed, with the nails not quite through tlu tap, which presents a smooth, unbroken under surface. The heel shaving machines present to the heel a set of rapidly revolving knives, shaped to make a straight heel or a guttered one, or even a lady's French heel. Another machine cuts the front of the heel square, and another trim and smooths the edc;e of the sole. The edge of the sole and sides of the heel are blackened and the edge is put un­ der a hot iron about the size of a fat ch stnut. This iron moves to and fro with incredible rapidity, in imitation of the motions of the cobblers who used to do tho work by hand. A birg*; iron, also heated by a gas jet, does the same thing for the heel, and does it under such pressure that cracks and uneven-' nesses in the heel are smoothed over, filled up, and concealed.--A7. 1". Sun. f ̂ ' The Paris of America. San Francisco is the Paris of Amer­ ica. The fondness of the people for amusements, their "fastness," love of display, disregard of the Sabbath, wild, reckless habits of speculation, all tend to justify the comparison with the French Capital. Like i'aris, this city is decidedly cosmopolitan in its character. Through its broad "golden gate" and over its continental highway people of alt nations, creeds ana language have thronged, with ono idea in common, the thirst for gold. There are probably more rjob men in San Francisoo, in proportion to its population, than in any city in the world. Theroare many good and righteous people who are fight­ ing faithfully against evil; but there are many more with whom morality has probably lost all its significance, In proportion to tlie population, there are probably more vile, criminal, and abandoned creatures here than in anv city except Paris. Divoroes and sui­ cides are matters of little or no account here. It is an admitted fact that Cali­ fornia buries more suicides in propor­ tion to the population than any state in the union. The prolific oauses are dissipation, financial embarassment, and domestic trouble. Nowhere is tbe marriage bond, that should be the guarantee of peace and oeatentment, so lightly regarded; nowhere is for­ tune so fickle; nowhere do so many fall in a day from a position of wealth to want. Such transfdons disturb the mental balance, and destroy tbe power of self-control. -Rep. Dr. Eccleston. I1- '>* Tbe WW West A traveler *rint to bid one night at a tavern in a town out werik.

Now, so far as our information and experience go, we oan regard such views as without the shadow of a foundation. Pork* eaters, who comprise nine-tenths of the population of the civilized world, will soout at such nonsense. For all per­ sons of active habits pork is just as wholesome as anything else, and far more sustaining. It is true that if too much of it is eaten at a time--in other words, if people will make "hogs" of themselves--they will have to suffer for it, as for an over-mess of almost any other food. To discard pork would be to discard one of the main items going into onr "vital statistics." What would become of the arm*- and navy, of our merchant marine, of, in a word, the great mass of our population, if pork were to be thrown overboard? The idea is supremely absnred--the aboli­ tion of this flesh as a prime artiole of food wonld be just muse for a sump­ tuary revolution. No, go on, ye pork eaters, among whom we number our­ selves, with a craving stomach; boil or broil your hams, pickle your sides, cab­ bage and kraut your chines, souse your pigs' feet, and enjoy vourselves upon swine's meat to your hearts' and pock­ et®' content. Fling not dirt at the grave, patient, thankful grunter, who anticipates his fate with a pleasure which he cannot express in words, but which he squeals to meet with the best possible grace. He may not laugh, it is true, but he grows fat without laugh­ ing, so much more to his own credit and to the profit of his friends, who liberally bestow upon him the where­ with to fare sumptuously every day. We shall stand by the pig. He is the patron of man. If he is generously treated it is because he is expected to return four-fold. If he is lazy it is be­ cause we give him nothing to do but to eat, grunt, and sleep, having in view not the good of the animal a tithe as much as the hoj e of an affluent recipro­ cation for all our kindness. Pork un­ wholesome! Nobody except a lean, cadaverous, sedentary biped, who is obliged to live, probably on account of early dissipation, on Graham bread and weak tea, would bo guilty of such a slander. • Faces Net Indicative ef Gccapatiea. Experience and observation convince me that judgments based on physiog­ nomy, especially, are quite as apt to be wrong as right. I shall never forget an illustration that is in my own expe­ rience. I used to meet on the Fulton ferry-boat two or three times a week a tall, handsome man iu a glazed cap, pea-jicket, and generally rough attire. His face was weather-beaten; he never entered the oabin, and almost invaria­ bly took his post in the forward end of the boat, whence, with an apparently critical eye, ho regarded the clouds, the tides, and the harbor aspect in general. In spite of the rough lines and a bronzed skin, he had one of the most intelligent faces, I think, I ever saw, and his profile was purely Greek. How many stories I imagined about him! In my mind's eye I saw him as a cabin- boy, a seaman, a second mate, a cap­ tain. I s&w him battle with winds and defeat storms. I thought of him in shipwreck,.and pictured him among the isles of the ocean. 1 saw him return to his home laden with the results of his manly endeavor, and congratulated him mentally, that ti^e sunset of his life was to be spent in a calmer atmosphere and in a true sailor's snug harbor. I really Attached myself to the old fellow, and wonld have resented an insult to him quickly.

Where Unemployed Literary Abounds. Talent Speaking of the death prominent literary men, the "Hermit" of the Troy Timett says: The question is sometimes asked, how are such important vacan­ cies filled on so short a notice ? To this it may be replied that there is such an excess in the supply of literary tal ent that no difficulty occurs. There are so many able writers hanging round journals and periodicals that selections can be made on a day's notice. Liter­ ary people generally prefer the metrop­ olis, even if they starve. This is noth­ ing new. More than a century and a half ago Johnson went to London to try the chances of a literary life, and he suffered twenty years of painful struggle before he reached a sufficient degree of success to give him a decent living. Thomson, the author of "The Seasons," went to London about the same time, and published " Winter," for which he received only three guineas. It was only his good fortune which gave him a tutorship that saved him from the same fate which Johnson endured. New York never contained so much unemployed talent as at the present time, and this tendencv must continue to increase.--New York Com­ mercial Advertiser. Speol-Xakittg.

The wood is first sawed into sticks four or five feet long, and from seven-eighths of an inch to three inches square, a&oording to the size of tbe spool to be produced. These sticks, after being thoroughly Reasoned, are sawed into short blocks, and tbe blocks are dried in a hot-air kiln. At the time they are sawed a hole is bored through them. The spool machine is managed by a boy, who throws out the knotty or defective pieces. The spools polish themselves by their motion and Contact in revolving drums. Some of the spools are dyed yellow, red, or black; others are ready for use when they leave the drums. The number ef yards ot cotton on a spool is determined by the size of the spool.

Once in a while we still hear the old croak that religion has lost its hold on the general public; that the church and its pulpit are no longer a power in the world, and that religious reading has given place to the daily newspaper. To thiB venerable fiction there is no better answer than that given by the annual statistics of the number of books, in the several classes of literature,pub­ lished in America and .England. From the figures jof the English book trade of last year, it appears that "as usual, theology heads the list with 945 works; educational and classical publi­ cations are second, with 682," etc. Publishers issue books to sell, and they are not accustomed to put forth, year by year, that which nobody buys; so that the regular publication and sale of religious books is a perfectly fair test of the general demand. That little coterie of readers which no longer cares for religious books makes the ostrich's mistake of measuring the capacities of other heads by the situation of its own. --Sunday School Times.

Tlie fleeh of domestic animals fit fbr food is almost a waste substanse in many countries, since it cannot be lo­ cally consumed nor profitably pre­ served. In the River Plate republics alone there are 80,000,000 sheep and 25,000,000 cattle to a population of 2,600,000. For years sheep were only valued there for their wool, and when flayed, carcasses were left to rot, or, wheu dried in tbe sun, piled up in stacks for fuel, while later on they were boiled down for their tallow. Sheep got very fat in the province of Buenos Ayers, and those of three or four years will give frequently from eighteen to twenty-five pounds of tal­ low. Countless numbers of sheep are boiled down every year in the so-called greaseries only for the tallow, which forms one of the staple articles of ex­ port. The mutton is thrown away, or used in a dry state as fuel. In five years, more than 1,500,000 sheep and 200,000 horned cattle were boiled down simply for their tallow in the colonies of New South Wales and Victoria.-- Popular Science. , Young M«a, Read This.
