The winter's day wa3 drawing to a t-Wc,
mid the bleak shades of a snowy night
vqc setting in.; The snow had been fall
ing eiuco ttjirly 'morning, and now lay
M Lite ami high on everything about. In
tfio silent seclusion of a deep and lonelv
Sleifai- fu;H any -other habitation and
Koinolength ffoth thc public road, stood a
Kinnlbeottagv. known as the ''Glen Farm
house,? ttbe .property of llalph Granjte,
..who resided there with his wife, and had
done so for thirty 'years. He was a cold,
bard u.nri -cold an.d hard as the name be
tyre.' -Mary Granite, his wife, was the
exact reverse, with, a motherly face and a
Wiiiiii and tender heart.
On Ibid bleak. night in December, tins
liight cif storm and wind and snow, Gran
it j and hh wife were seated in the large,
htuncly kitchen of the cottage. They had
drawn the table tip to the ruddy stovie,
uiid at on cither bide,-the former enlaced
ii! reading, Mr?. Granite knitting. There
wan silence in the-' cottage for sometime,
iiatight t.eing beard hut the roar and tdiriek
of the storm without, which seemed, as the
nlgl.t wore on, to grow more tierce and
U-iiible. At last Mrs. Granite, propping
lijr knitting in her lap, broke the silence
' of the loom.
"I wonder where Alice is, to-nirht,
lr.-iljd, ?"
-,4V bat do yiiir care where she. is, eh ?''
roughly esel.iiined thy farmer, locking up
from bis paper with a dark frown..
'-A idght of storm never comes but 1

"() Kalph, ltaljdi, it is nnfatln'rly to

a strange look, and his wife was puzzled.

"No." '
r "Well, then, I'm going to write to New

"Father, father ! Aije yon in earnest V

4 "Oh, she's in the village now; no doubt."
A pain, heavy amHsharp, seemed to
catch his breath. Why did he start and

from falling ? Four men were coming up

U'tween them a large plank, wuh-soun

"Why why did you hiing jier here V
gasped farmer Granite.
. "''Cause, sir, I thought as how h'er face

A great shriek from Mrs. Granite, who
droppef on her knees iiud tore the covcr-

"God of Heaven !" he cried out, cover

of city real estate two lots on the Ihiwery
lane or road,near Elizabeth street was
made jii i August,, 17SD, arid from that date
to the time of his death, March, TS48, he
was a study and constant buyer of real es
tate. The last conveyance to John Jacob
Astor was made shortly before his death,
in 1S4S. The conveyances made to him
during the 95 years" which elapsed be
tween his first and last purchases of real
estate in thisc- form seven pages of closely-printed
matter in the index of convey

wise investments have with time swollen
into enormous w ealth and the Astor for

Jacob Aster and Mr. -William Astor

great foi times of the world. At the time
of John Jacob Aster's deatli 'in - 184S bis
fortune was estimated at from $30,000,000
to $40,000,000, and he was counted riMi
on the lUt of rich -men, Raron de Roths

vonshire and Sir Robert Pee! oulv exceed

The late Mr. Lenox, like Mr. Astor,
was a self-made man. lie, was, when he
first began, an entire M ranger in this citv,
where the name of Lenox is now so greatly-venerated

Not being a personage,- and not caring to
appear in the white tie and fine linen ev
ery evening, and Loving wished to seethe
social life in the 'American city, not as a
guest, but as a traveller, I think . I can
more impartially judge, of what would be
the impression made on a cosmopolitan
than had I traded on vbeing an Kn'ish
man, with a handle Attached to my name,
as probably most Britishers with such an
iinpedim. nt would do. I mixed with all
classes, in the street car and omnibus
(which, in its American form, is as supe
rior to our London 'bus as is a Parisian
Victoria to a "growfer"), in the Union Club
the "Travellers' "of New York ami in
the palatial steamer F the Iln.Lon River,
to which steamer and" to which river we
have nothing to compare in the Old World.
Wherever! went I found all classes of
the Americans nut only civil, but highly
civilized, ns compared class for class with
the English; not 'only " amiable, but ns a
rule kind and courteous, and, with rare ex
ceptions, well-informed, well-bred, and
having more refinement of manner than
any other people; I lave' como among.
What struck mu iu New York was the in
variable civility shown byj all classes of
men to women; w hetherthe woiiimu rustled
in silk or wore linscy-wrdspy or homespun;
however crowded the utr or the foot wav,
room was at once made for a lad v. Does
not this somewhat contrast with the surly.
i -. . . '

said before, the Aimricans of everv class
are endowed.":
Speak Low. In one of the New York
newspaper buildings, there are car. Is. at
the entrance, iu the counting-room, in tbe
editorial rooms, so that whichever way
visitors or the occupants turn, thev read
this injunction, "Speak Low." ' Upon
this iiijiiiicti.m, tho Christian at Work
hinges the following advice:
'The truth is, as a people we are get
ting to be a nation of loud talkers. Fath
er talks loud. Mother talks loud. Aun
tie talks loud. . Uncle John talks loud.
And as for the children well, will
some one tell us what lias become of the
lov-t-peaking, orderly boys and girls we
used to meet with? "Have they all grown
up, and did they never perpetuate their
species!! .
Scientists tell iis no one can distinguisdi
the sound of one's own voice; ami hence
most, if "not all, the loud talking iu the
world js duo to" unconsciousness. Rut
parents can hear their children's voices,
and apply the remedy.
There is au inscription under ono of
Turner's most famous pictures, deservedly
eulogized by Riiskin, which reads, "Dotiir
hora (jukti The hour is given to quiet."
We wonder where that hour is gone to!
' MriniiEtt YV-feL Oirrt. Louis has a
fresh illustration of the oVu adage "murder
will out" in the case of John W. lleau
rannt, a wealthy builder of that citv. In
the' fair of lSTAjJeninont fhot down
Isaac F.Rawden, a builder with whom he
quarrelled about work'done for him. Though
the jury held the epewjator accountable
for the death,. herocnriiiischargo nt bis

day before it was to come off, William J.

Beaumont 'drew his pistol twice' before
Baw.den tried to .defend himself,. mvsteri
otudy disappeared. Hid body was'fouud
in the Mississipj.i a 'few days afterward,
but a coroner's ; jurv acquitted Beaumont
on tho charge of killing him and the other
case against lain was - dropped. William
Pees had a brother John, however, who
I was determined to ferret out his disappear
ance. Without money, or friends he cut
down bis family expeuses to thirtv-five

Two MisDiiti:cTKi)!LnrTi:i:s. Tbo fol
lowing curious cases of misdirected letters
occurred in th-; New ..ik posli.lTice: A
letter from Ireland came directed In "Mv
Mother, New York, America." Of course
it was an impossibility- tu tell to whom
the letter belonged, and preparations were
made to scud it to the dead-letter ofikv.
The same day, bowevtr, a woman called
at the general delivery window and asked
for a letter from berj son. ( The gentle
man who Las charge of the deciphering
bureau was immediately Mruck with ibe
coincidence, ami sent for the letter alluded
to above. He asked j the woman wLerc
her sou lived, and when the gave the
uauie of the town it ws found to be the
samo as .the postmark on tho let tel.
Other inquiries justified tho ofiiciala in de
livering the letter to the wom.in, but Le
insiidcd that hhe bhoul
open, it tLere. and
on examination it win
was from her son, and
person for wlom it
