A Black Pearl. _ About a yeax ago au ill -clothed and needy -looking J8W went hake a jewel- er's shop in the Herrengasse, at Pesth, 'drew a sro.all paper parcel from his pocket, unfolded it carefully, and took from it a little black • object. Holding it 'up before the jeweler, he asked : "What is that worth ?" After scrutinizing it very closely for some time, the jeweler replied: "That is worth a great d_eal. It is a black pearl, one of the, greatest rari- ties. I have seen many a gray one, but never before a black one. It bas one fault, a Small breach, which shows that It was formerly in a setting; but its value is very great. 'Where did , you buy it ?" The Jew answered: -"A gentleman wishes to leave it with me itt pawn, and I waut to know what it is worth." The jeweler said he could not ex- actly tell, the thing being such a rar- ity. "May I lend two hundred gulden upon it?" asked the Jew. "Three times as much, at the very least," replied the other. "Will you not buy the pearl?" "No, indeed," said the shop keeper. "There is but one firm itt the mon-: arcliy which would. have an oppor- tunity of selling it again ; that is the court jeweler, Biedermann, at Vienna." The Jew left -with the pearl. Next day he appeared. at Biedermann's shop. Biedermann, however, made a short Process with his would-be customer. Re had no sooner seen the black pearl than ha sent for the police, and had the Jew arrested on the spot. At the hear- ing of his case the Jew said his name was Isaac Roth, and that he was the owner of a pawn shop in Grosswardein. One day he saw a great stir going on outside the house of a neighbor and co - religionist, Hen. Gyuri. Upon inquiry he found that poor Gyuri was in trouble , for bon -payment of taxes, and that the local officer was seizing his , furniture. Roth paid the needed sum, 20 gulden, out of his own pocket, and Gyuri, out of gratitude, presented. him with the pearl ceofpwtihoons.e immense value he had no con - This, story was confirmed by wit- nesses from Grosswardein. Gyuri, as it seems, had. been the confidential ser- • vant of a renowned man, Count Louis : Batthyani, and when Batthyani died, ' he presented his servant with hia breast - Tin as a memorial. G-yuri, under the pressure of want, had already sold the gold. in whieh the pearl was set, but he would not part with the jewel, partly out of esteem for his late' master, and partly from a notion that it was of no great worth. The pearl, as the court jeweler Bied- ermann at once perceived, must have been stolen property at some period. in its adventures: Being an authority in -the history of famous jewels, he recol- lected that three black pearls had for- merly adorned the English crown, aud that they were stolen from that im- portant symbol about two centuries ago. They were renowned as the only black pearls in the world, according to the be- lief of that time. The English Government, as Herr Biedermann stated, advertised for them in vain. How Count Batthyani got hold of the pearl nobody knows, but it is conjectured that be must .have bought it at one cf the old curaOsity shops—places in which he delighted to rummage; while it is certain that he was ignorant of .its value, or he awould scaroely have bequeathed it to a Servant without any hint of the greatness of the bequest. The Jew Of !Grosswardein, - according to the story current in Vienna, is now thanking the black pearl for the foundation of his fortunesince the Eng- lish Government, hearing of its discov- ery, have bought it from him for the sum of twenty thousand gulden.—Har- per's Weekly. - He hyl: Forgott-k?tr.-- An audiencei_of -1oston'sI beauty, cul- ture and refinement filled the Old South Church. The hour for the lecture drew near, lingered briefly upon: the point and passed. An impatient rustle began to sweep through the • house as the speaker of the house still delayed his appearance upon the platform. The, committee glanced nervously at each other, conferred togethei in short and hurried whispers and then hastily re- paired to the ante -room. An elderly man was standing in the centre of the room as they entered, clutching wildly at has flowing hair and muttering inco-, herently to himself. "My dear sir,' exclaimed the chairman of the com- mittee, hastening forward," the hour for the lecture .has long since passed, and the audience is impatient. " Gen- tlemen ," said the lecturer, in an impress- ive voice, " I have come to this place in accordance with an agreement to appear before a cultured Boston a,udienee. I have forgotten to change my clothing, and am dressed in my old garden out- fit; I have forgotten to put on a clean shirt, and behold this gingham apology; I have forgotten to remove my boots, and hence these coveriugs ornamented with visible traces of agricultural pur- suits; and saddest of all, I have totally and completely forgotten the subject of my, lecture." If the members live to be forty-nine years old they will never forget the expression of utter helpless- ness and misery that the speaker's ev- ery word and gesture implied. It was Ralph Waldo Emerson, and he was to - lecture upon "Memory." • Matter of Conscience. The Rev. Dr. Macleod, father of Dr. Norman Macleod, passing through the crowd -gathered before the doors of new church he was about to open, was stopped by an elderly, man with, "Doctor, if you please, I'wish to speak to you." Asked if be could not wait until after worship, he replied that it was a matter upon )1is conscience. "Oh, since it is a matter ,if conscience, Dun- can," said the g• ocl-natured minister, "I will hear what it is." "Well, Doc- tor," said Duncan, "'the matter is this. Ye see the clock yonder on the new church. Now there is really no clock there, only the face of ono; there. is DO truth there only once in twelve hours; and in my mind that is wrong, very wrong, and quite against the conscience that there should be a lie on the face of the house of the Lord." The Doctor promised. to consider the matter. "But," said. he, "I'm glad to see you looking so well, man.. Ye're not young. I reMember you for many 3ears ; but you have a fine head of hair still." "Eh, Doctor," exclaimed the unsas- pecting Duncan, "now ye're joking it's long since I lost my hair." Dr. Mac- leod looked shocked, and answered in a tone of reproach: "-Oh, Duncan, Dun- can, are you going into the house of the, Lord with a lie on yoar head ?" He heard no more of the lie on the face of the church.. • Our Baby's Pet. All babies have pets. Some take a liking to dogs, others to:cats, dolls, whips, horses, carts, but very few to books. Our baby adores a great tom- cat, and Tom adores baby. They can- not be separated; Tom will follow baby all over the house, and baby will chase Tom up -stairs and down -stairs. They share their fbod and bed together, and are ever the best of friends. When baby is taken out for a walk, Tom has to be locked up in a room, or he will be sure to follow us like a dog. We should not let Tom and the baby be so much together were it not for the following fact. One night, not very ling ago, when baby was a great deal younger than he is now, we were sud- denly aroused by hearing Tom meow, but this night he appeared to thave something human in his voice; and -seemed so excited, that I went down- stairs to see what was the matter. Just in time. The careles§ nurse, had fallen asleep by the fire, and baby, crawling out of his cradle, had set fire to his clothes. I need scar6e11-T say that from that moment Toni was not only baby's pet, but every ether per- son's pet. • - Spurgeon To -Day. Spurgeon remains, in a sense, prince of London preachers. I had heard hini just twenty-two years ago, when he was more impetuous and nervous, and still on trial before the world. But he has long since fought his battle and fairly won. He had everything against him —the press, popular prejudice, and suspicion, and all the closed places to popular fa-Vor. But he has gone on, and now lib one doubts his power and worth. He has Anglo-Saxon grit and pluck, and you might as well tell the thunder -blast to stop as to attempt to control Spurgeon. I expected to see him getting old., for it is work rather than years, that breaks men down, and yet he bears his years zemarkably well. He has given out energy enough for seventy, and yet he lacks considerably of fifty. His thick black hair has now some stealthy threa.ds of gray ; he wears a full beard, Waddles just S. little- more - than when he, weighed less and takes things loore qnietly than in the- storm and stress of.younger days. His sermon was on the - healing of the impotent man. His exposition was terae, spirited, and altogether out of the exegetical ruts. He Made the impotent man a simple minded soul, who knew but little, and h1',0 just sense enough to trust. Yolieii seer a change in Spur- geon. He haknot the incisive force of former years, He is as deep -sighted, has that mune grand metallic rang of voice, and knows how to play on his audience with the old masterful skill but lacks the oleaving and lifting power of older days Of adventare and initia- tive. He is fare more proper than in former times. He seems to be more conscious of a critical atmosphere about him. I doubt if he could build up another Tabernacle. But then, he is , not required to do such a thing a second time. He had'done what God told him, and God does not generally tell men to do the same thing twice. — English. Correspondence. Seepy Torn. Something Aboiit the Wonderful Blind Pac6r who Made a- Mile in 2:121.. On Thursday, the 24th of July, a pacing race took place at Chicago that will lona be aemembered by the horse- men of the eountry. In that race Sleepy Tom astonished. every one by carrying off the contested purse in the fastest time ever made by a pacer in this country, 2:-12i. As the history of a horse who has accomplished such a feat must prove- of interest to every one who likes a good horse, we compile the following from various sources as giving a pretty fair idea of his breeding and achievetuents Sleepy Tom was foaled in the village of Bellrook, Greene County, Ohio, June 22, 1868, and is consequently eleven years old. His dam was a mare sired by Sam Hazzard, noted by in local sporting circles as a pacer of some merit. She was 20 years old when Sleepy Tom was born, and had been kept as a breeder for some time. Tom's grand dam was the pacing mare Poca- hontas, who has a mile in 2:17/ credit- ed to her, and she is said to have been in foal with TODYE4 sire at the 'time she made this record. Tom's sire was Tom Rolf, out of Old Pocahontas; Rolf's sire was Pugh's Aratus, a son of Aratus. A Mr. Isaac Dingler, of tiellbrook, bought Tom as_ a colt, paying $50 for him, and when he reached three years of age put him in 6harge of a boy to train. As the boy knew little or noth- ing of the business, the result was a failure. and the horse .was -more injured than improved by the course pursued with him. His first race was over the track of the'Dayton Fair Grounds, against a Gypsy mare, and was won in e:36, figures that did not give much promise of a- suOcessful future. The horse gradially improved, however, and while owned by Mr. Dingier, paced. a mile in 2.24. .He made this time in a race against Sleepy, George, TOm Hen- dricks, Nellie Granger and Bay Sally. A short time afterwards, while being trained on the Dayton track, Tom caught's severe cold that settled in his eyes and. rendered him nearly blind. In the fall of 1875, while still suffering from the trouble in his eyes, Tom was entered in a race with Clem Beachie, of Lebanon, Ohio, but was distanced, the winning horse making the mile in 2:48., This was a bad let -down for Tom, and his owner seeing it useless to enter him in races while his eyesight wan almost gone, withdrew him from the track. Mr. Dingier concluded that his fast pacing days were over, and shertly afterwards sold him to a car- riage painter named Milliard, receiving a note for $125 in exchange. Tom's new owner is said to have abused him shamefully, at one time driving him in a sleigh seventeen miles in seventy min-. utes. The civil authorities of a little village had him arrested while on this trip for fast driving, or Milliard would have driven him further. At the close of the sleighing season Milliard drove him to Xenia, and sold him to a livery keeper named. W. H. Corry, who gave him for the nearly blind horse a crip- three-year-old colt, named" Gum Elas- tic," a snide watch and a quart of whisky, all valued at $30. Milliard thought he had made a very good bar- gain. Corry kept the horse some time, using him in his business. About this time a horseman named. Stephen C. Phillips'of Xenia, had his attention attracted to the horse, and af- teriwatching him for some time con- cluded to buy him if. he could scrape the requisite sum together to effect it. After trying for some time, he finally succeeded in attaining his object, pay- ing about $100 for him. Toni had now got into good hands, and Phillips at once went to work to develop his speed 'and fit him for the track. In 1878 he entered him in several races, but Tom did nothing remarkable, being unsuc- cessful in all of them. This ,year he opened the season by carrying off the purse in his class at Jackson, Michigan; then at East Saginaw. Toledo, Ciucin- natti, Louisville and Columbus, at the latter place making his mile, in 2.16. Mr, Phillips, after the race at Colum-' bus Sold Tom for $6,000. a good.advance on the $100 paid for him, but a small one when' compared with ‘what his pres- ent owner would probably ask for him. Mr. Phillips is atill handling the horse, and drove him in the late race at Chi- cago, when Tem, to the amazement of his competitor and the delight of the big crowd assembled to see this match, pulled down the record to 2.12, which Ave think will prove the fastest time made by a pacer for some time. In appearance Sleepy Tom is not pre- possessing, nor does he give any impres- -sion to an ordinary observer of his great speed. His very nakine was given him from his sleepy appearance ; but he is good tempered, and an easy -horse to handle.. , .1 • —Theathcessaries of life are cheaper in the.
