His euit was unsuccessful and be lived and died a eingle man. The ehoemaker'e daugh ter refused him because, as she said, ho was too homely for her, hia nose being ugly. He wa worth at this time only a few thousand dollars but tie applied himself closely co business and amassed a large fortunp, the bulk ot which be eft to charity. Several millions were set aside for i the building and endowment of a hos pital, to be called the Johns Hopkins Hospital. This institution consists of about fifteen large, handsome brick buildings and occupies v square in the city of Baltimore. There are ten wards, capable of accommodating about three hundred patients. There are two wards for the accommodation of colored patients. Johns Hopkins is one of the best equipped hospitals in the world, and Scientific American.

Youth's Companion. In some parts of the Southern States, where, happily for them, the people are Jnot in such a ceaseless hurry as people are in the nervous North, no one thinks of exacting punctuality from railroad trains. They take them when ev come, and arrive when they get tliesn. and are content. A fit ' 'id Yankee drummer who, at a country railway station, had been fum ing because a train had not arrived an hour after schedule time, received a lesson in patience from an elderly countryman who came in with his gripsack and asked the station-master: "What time do the train fer Savan nah git here, boss?" . "Soinewhar 'bout nightfall," answer ed the station-man. "An' what time do she git to Savan nah?" 'Somewhar "bout mawniuV Then the countryman, pefectly satis fied with the information, folded his legs in a corner, and settled down to an hour or more of philosophical comiort Electric Bitters. the most skillful. The amount of suf fering that this institution has been the means of alleviating and the wreck ed bodies it has restored to health and strength are hardly to Ikj estimated ; and still the good work goes on. The hospital was built especially for the poor of Baltimoie and the State of Maryland ; but there are wards for the accommodation of others, and by the payment of $5 a week the poor of oth er States may secure entrance into the charity wards. These wards are gener ally full, and convalescent patients are continually going out and new parents coming in. These wards are filled chiefly with Baltimoreans, but there are many patients from otner states. Great is the number of people that bless the name of Johns Hopkins, Johns Hopkins is a training school for nurses and yearly turns out a num ber ot graduates, who . afe excellently qualified for the duties of the sick room. So good and kind are the nurses that the pain of being a hospital patient is almost turned into a pleas ure. An inexperienced person rright im agine a hospital to be a terrible place, the inmates ot which are continually moaning and groaning, but such is not the case. Taking all things in consid eration I think the patients in the ward in which I was treated were about the liveliest and most cheerful crowd . it i I was ever in. A patient seldom nas but little pain after an operation and the inconvenience of lying In bed is lightened by the hope of recovery. Everything is kept spotlessly clean and all the needs of the patients are at tended to ; so a hospital is not such a bad place to be In, after all. If any one believes the world to be without good and Kind people, let him bandage up one foot, get him a pair of crutches and begin to travel ; he will doubtless have good reason to change his opinion before he has gone far.

He could not imagine what hi relative could want with cats at At. antic City, he consulted with n few of his assistants, and the onl solution he could arri at was that rats must have been discov- ered in the Atlantic City hostelry. They unanimously decided that it was theirs not to reason why ; but to get cats and ship them to Atlantic City without delay. A rush was made for all the establishments in town which deal in pet animals, but all the cat on hand were of the Maltese or Angora variety, and it was decided that they . , i. were too expensive, as a nnai resuu the genius boy was called into requisi tion and before nightfall there were eighteen feline prisoners at the Jonn- son. There were no more in sight, though, so it was decided to ship the first installment that night and make a further consignment next day. A telegram was sent to Mr. Johnson at Atlantic City, which announced : "Shinnprf eighteen cats. More to- "o morrow."

"Well, then, perhaps you remember me. I arn Professor . I was a member of the faculty then, as I am now. And I want to say, Mr. Armour, that I always protested against your expulsion as being unjust, anwarranted by the facts. By-the-way, Mr. Armour, the academj is in a financial strait just now, and I came to see if you would give us some assistance." "Well." replied the millionaire, "if you protested against my expulsion all 1 have to say is that you have been a long time letting me know about it." But Mr. Armour made out a good round check, just the same, and- sent the old pedagogue on hia way rejoicing. Applying the Eule the Other Way.
