in his mouth.' From keeping a modest
hinch counter in the lower- part of a
San Francisco stock exchange, he grew
into successful speculation in mining
stocks, and., after variolis partnerships,
in 1862, in company with James C.
Flood and John W. Mackay (other poor
boys and successful ipeculatqrs), begau
to attract attention by controlling Ne-
vada mines: The firm, to which James
G. Fair was afterward admitted, be-
came a quartet of " bonanza " princes
in 1875, when the California and Con-
solidated Virginia mines were uncover-
ed, the dividends of the two having
since amounted to $63,720,000. Mr.
O'Brien was a jovial, genial bachelor,
who, made hosts of friends by the liber-
al manner in which he disbursed his
wealth, that he might enjoy the happi-

A C-urious Wager.
A curious affair recently occurred in
Franklin, Mass. At .an evening party
gentleman reek a young widow, with
whom he beea,me much impressed. A
number of games were played during
the evening,. when the lady suggested
that they should. play for a wager. The
gentleman assented, and; after some
discussion as to what the stake should.
be, he said :
't My hand fo'r yours, if I win; or at
your diaposal for any young lady of re-
specta,bility her Consent being first ob-
tained) if I lose." - ,
The lady assented, and. the game—a
sort of bagatelle—began. The gentle-
man had. never played it before, but he
was cool and skilful, and so was a
match for his fair opponent. The lady
led atthe• 'start, but at the close had
scored, only 138 points to the gentle-
man's 385. . A decorous- applause fol-
lowed the • announcement; a,nd the
hostess now advanced., teols the feebly
resisting band of the fair widow ' and
placed it in that of the winning gentle-
man. The latter ceremony was repeat-
ed with more solemnity sorne months
after.

Woman's Work.
The following communication from a
governess, who signs herself " Employ-
. ed," appeared in a contemporary:
I have been engaged.for many years
past in the duties of education, to which
I was impelled., not by neeessity or mis-
fortune, but by a natural love of teach-
ing. I have always considered that the
education of the young is a most honor-
able calling—at least as honorable as
nursing and as " ladylike "—and I have
preferred to follow this profession rath-
er than endure the humdrum existenCe
of a country town. My experiences
have been uniformly of 11. pleasant na-
ture.. I have filled six situations as a
govemese. I ba-ve been always treated
as a, lady, and that by people to whona
I was an Atter stranger. On leaving
I have always retained- the good will
and friendship of my employers. 1 I
have never had the least difficdlty in
finding work, and in 15 years have earn-
ed $6,000, of which I have invested near-
ly half. It must be borne in mind that
I have, to the best of my abilities, en-
deavored to/t t myself for my profes-
41B
sion, and i experience shows me that
ray fitness, such ad it may be, has been
appreciated. by my pupils and their pa-
rents. I have neVer encountered those
slights which the governess of the nov-
elist is depicted. as e-nduring, and my
belief is tbat it is 'as much the " special
privilege "f woman, as of man, to earn,
if she is capable of doing so. As for
" starvation," I believe that to be the
" special, privileg,e " of the. incompetent,
the idle, and the intemperate.
Catharine E. Beecher.
" Miss Catharine Esthqr Beecher, the
- eldest sister of the • Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, will boni at the family
homestead iu Easfliampt6, L. I., in
1800, and. rernoaed to Litchfield.. Conn.,
when her father was called thither . in
1810. Her education was of curious
growth, as she WAS never fond of study;
aud possibly to this cause may be traced
the original theories she propounded. in
after life through her writings on edu-
cational topics. Being engaged to be
married to Professor Fieber, of Yale
College, when she was about twenty
years -old, she was terribly shocked by
the news of his death by shipwreck
while on a voyage to England.; and her
• religious faith which had heretofore
been the fruit rather of ronlantic emo-
tion than of earliest thought and con-
viction, suffered a severe blow. For-
tunately, the outcome of her affliction
was not a selfish seclusion. from the
world, but a resolve to seek comfort in
devotion to the good. of others. She
laid out a vast plan for the education of
women, only a part of which her health
permitted her to carry into execution.

SURPRISING BARGAINS
Th:e Rector's False Teeth:
- An old rector of a small country par-
ish had been compelled ' to send to a
dentist his set of false teeth in order
that sonie repairs might be made. The
dentist had faithfully promised. to send
them back "by Saturday," but the Sat-!
arday'spost did not bring the box con-
taining the rector's teeth. There was
no Sunday post, and the village was
nine miles from the post town. , The
dentist, it afterwards appeared, had
posted the teeth on the Saturday after-
noon, with the full conviction that their
owner would duly receive them on the
Sunday morning in tirao for his service.
The Old rector bravely tried. to do that ,
duty which England. expects every man
to do, more especially if he is a par-
son, and it is Sunday morning; but, af,
ter he had munibled through the pray-
ers, with equal difficulty ana incoher-
ency, he decided that it -would. be -ad-
visable to abandon any further attempts
to address:his congregation on that day.
While the hymn was being sung, he
summoned. the clerk to the vestry, and.
there- said to him, "It is quite useless
for me to attempt tq go on: The fact
is that my dentist has not sent me back
my artificial teeth • and..as it is impos-
sible for me to make myself understood
you must tell my congregation that the
service is ended for this morning; and
that there will be no service this after-
noon:" The old clerk went back to his
desk the singing of the hymn—in the
singing gallery , —was brought to an
end; and. the rector, from his retreat in
the vestry, heard his clerk address th,e
congreabatien as follows : "This is to
give notice I as there won't be 110 par -
mon, nor no more sarviae this mornina
so you'd. all better go' wham (home) ;
and. there -won't be no sarvice this after-
