Jarvis . and the Funeral,
There is a story related of Jarvis, the
distinguiehed. painter, to the effect that,
walking down ,Broada ay one day, he saw
before hiin a lank -looking foreigner bear-
ing under his arm a small rod cedar cigar
box. He stepped immediately into his
"wake,"lani whenever he met a friend,
(which Was one in every two or three
minutes,Ifor the popular artist knew ev-
erybody,) he would beckon him with a
wink to -‘‘ fall into live" behind, By and
by the man turned down one of the cross
streets followed bY Jarvis and his "tail,"
Attraeted by the measured tread of so
many, feet, he .turned around abruptly,
and, seeing the procession that .followed
in his footstepa, he exclaimed : " What
for de debble is dis ? What for you take
me, eh ? What for you so much come af-
ter me, eh ?" " Sirs" exclaimed Jarvis,
with an air ef profound respect; "we saw
you going to the grave alone with the
Wy of youi infant, and -we took the op:
portunity to offer you our sympathy, and
to follow your'habe to the tomb," The
man explained, jei his broken manner,
that the box contained only cigars, and
he evinced his gratitude for the interest
which had been inanifested in his behalf
by breaking it open aed dispensing them
very liberally to the mourners.—Scrib-
Envious Tongues.
The moment a man achieves
success there's always somebody at hand
to tell how obscure, how no " account "
he used to be, and to express wonder
and astonishnient that he shou'el ever
have " amounted to anything." The
fact that he haS amounted -to something?
that he has proved himself a suecesS,
seems to make eome of his acquaintances
feel that they have been robbed in a
manner, and that by so much lie has
risen above them in position and influ-
ence% by so much. they are dwarfed.
Men who have grpped blindly to find a
fitting place for the exercise of their
talents find it, and with it come natural-
ly appreciation, 'money, influence,
prosperity, Can their good fortune cause
anything but rejoicing in a tnagnanimOus
and noble mind ? There are few men of
note before the American public who
have not fought their way np through
poverty, obscurity. ,disaster and countleas
opposition of adverse circumstance.
Vanderbilt began 43 a boatman in New
York Harbor ; Stewart was once a small
