him to use every precaution for his

About ten years ago. two brothers
left their homes in IlliiHs, and went
to Caliturnia. The older was a man
of the most steady habits, and had
received ft good business education,
but the youiii,cl' was inclined to be
dissipated, and, indeed, had figured
in so many scrapes, at homo that his
departuro was Hot regretted in Ids
native village. The two brothers
lived fur a short time in Snnfraiiclsco
wliile they looked for situations. The
younger brother, however tell into
bad company, and they scpaiated by
mutual consent. The elder brother
obtained a good situation in a whole
sale store as poitcr, and by his
dilligcnce and steadiness so woiked
himself into the confidence of his
employe!* that he rose IVoni the
position of porter to that of a pal'tner
iu the firm, lie lately purchased a
house HI Dust street, married a lady
with considerable fortune of her Own,
and on last Christmas eve he saw
three beautiful children around him
enjoying the delights of a Christmas
tree. The family retired at midnight
but the gentleman had hardly closed
his eves vvheil he was awakened by a
noise down stairs, and moving
stealthily to the parlor witharevolver
in his hand, he saw a man, endeavor
ing to open the buffet where he kept
his silver. Levelling his revolver at
the thief"s head he exclaimed, "Stop
or you're a dbad man! ' The jimmy
dropped from the handsoftheburglar,
who falling on his knccs> cried out,
"As God is my Judge, Brother I did
not know that you lived herd" The
gentleman then discovered to his
horror that the burglar whom he was
about to shoot was the brother whom
he had not mot for nearly ten yCais.
That night the burglar slept peacefully
tinder the roof of his forgiving
brother, who assured a friend with
tears in his that lie was about to
giyehim employment in hisowu store,
and that he had never spent a happi*

Among the ihmutes of the Massa
chusetts State Prison is on old man,
a college graduate, *nd once a trusted
lawyer, a man who managed estates
and controlled trust fundi. Two
years ago it was found that thousands
and thousands ot' dollars had disap
peared in ruinous speculations-, and
that he had for years been a forger,
umtiUthere was almost nothing lefi of
the hundreds of thousands that had
been intrusted to hint. Not only had
he ruioed his clients, but his Broth
er* and his old father and uncle.
And yet in prisou lie speaks of noth
ing but his honor, his innocence and
his honesty; It required thirty-eight
hours of starvation to bring him to
compliance with the rules of the pris
on. He was taken to court the oth*
er day to give evidence in some real
estate transaction and was very much
annoyed a* the presence of an officer
with him, remonstrated at the un
necessary trouble they were taking.
"1 have been engaged fo largely in
real estate transactions that I shall
be called out of prison often as a
witness, aud I hate to trouble you so
to come with me," said he. "If the
warden would only tell me what
court 1 was wanted in I could just
as well come alone and return after
court. I have nothing left now but
my honor, and if I should lose that,
Why God hoip me." This is not
monomania. IS hat is it?

Twenty-sev*n boxes of Confederate

pressing Mr. Davis so hard during his
retreat Southward that he was com
pelled to leave the archive* with Col.
Young, at Union, 'lite latter had
carefully preserved them and was
about to send them to the South
ern Historical Society at Rich
mond, when they were destroyed.

act of his life, and he hopes to make
it the most memorable.
Jofth Henry was with Julia the
other evening, when she observed:
"John, dear, what is all this talk
about contracting aud expanding the
currency, and which do you be
lieve?"
"Well, my sweet.," said John, phi- |
ling up his collar, "thabdc|>endß UJKHI
should advocate contraction of the
currency, and iu others ait expan
sion of it. it is according to the
circumstances —that is, the condition
of things."
- "But what is the difference be
tween the two, and how does circum
stances affect tln-ni? That's what 1
want, to know, John."
"Oh, that's easily explained," said
John, in a tone of great cheerful*
ness.
"For instance, when we are alone
we both sit 011 one chair, don't we?"
"Yes."
"Well, that's contraction. Rut
when we hear your pa or ma coming
wo get 011 two chairs, don't we?"
'I should say we did."
"Well) my love, that's expansion
So you see it is according to circuin
stall cess."
' John," said she, very softly, bur
rowiug under his ear, "we are con
tracting now, ain't we?"

PUNCTUALITY. —We do not propose
to write * composition on the subject,
but punctuality is a good thing. It
is a good tiling to be punctual in
business matters find the punctual
man is al ways regarded as the one
above all others to be trusted. Mr.
C. B. 'Fowler, the clever and very
efficient Clerk of the Market has
been noted * for his punctuality but
we aredsorry to say hi has of late lost
his reputation. It is true *(and we
admit it) that he has never failed to
pay Jus quarterly dues to TIIE OB\
HEIIVER when called on. His settle
ments with the city maralial,- us the
books will show are all up to the
notch, and as far as his financial op
erations tire concerned we do not
complain, and cannot say aught
against him; but is lie a punctual
man? that's the question. We will
state the case, lie was married iu
1873, early in the year. On the 4th
of July, 1874, a sen was born unto
him. July 4th, 1875, he was pre
sented with a lovely daughter, The
next 4th of July, 187G, came a son,
and it was not until the *i\th of July,
1877, that «tc. All doing well.
