Oddities Between Book Covers. The second-hand book -dealer often plays a part in dramas more thrilling than those of the sort portrayed with the aid of colored lights and vanishing scenery on the stage. We often read in story-booke-English publications mcstly, because "old libraries," " vast estates," "ancestral figures," *are staple goods with the English novelists -of queer treasure, -such as wills, priceless miniatures and other more or less wetly trinkets, found in books where they have been placed for safekeeping years and years before and thus forgotten. That trick of finding a codicil hidden away in an old Bible has been worn out at the knees long Since by sensational writers. Yet the habit of keeping things in books is one of the com- monest offences of the race. It frequently amounts to a crime. An impecunious young man sold his little library, and the next day came rushing into Sizer's to get a photograph which he said bad been left in a volume of poems. The books had already been sold. "Good heavens, what'll I do?" gasped the young man. "That was my girl's pic- ture, and what'll she say when she finds I haven't it?" He was given the addrese of the buyer of hia poems, and when he Mt, going north on State street, one might have played solitaire with two decks on his coat-teile. Countless little keepsakes are found in old books. Bookseller Sizer has a regular curiotity box full of them. Locke of hair - golden, black, red, brown and even gray - coiled and tied with ribbon or silk thread, pressed flowers, love -letters and even bank- notes ; memoranda, valuable receipts end sometimes government bonds -all casuaily placed in boobs or hidden away by design and forgotten entirely by the owner. It goes a long way toward proving the oft- -asserted fact that the possessors of libraries do not read their own books. In a batch of books bought for a song, and -ooncealed between the leaves of a large re- port of some sort, Mr. Sizer came upon a pamphlet that was a rare treatise out of print and worth many times the price paid for all the boot s. Within five yearii he has foand two wills, 'one of which had a subsequent history suit- able for a plot for a modern society drama. One day last summer he was asked by the executor of the Jephson estate to call at the north side residence and invoice an old library. They were works worth little in these days, having been collected by Mrs. Jephson during long years of widowhood in the Western States, where her husband had died years ago, aeon after acquiring consid- erable wealth in the mines. There were no children, and Mrs. Jephson had uow died, leaving an estate of over $300,000. No will could be found, and the nearest rela- tives instituted proceedings before Judge Kohlsaat for the proper disposition of the property. The division of the property was there- upon about to be made in accordance with the order of court when a stranger, giving his name as Gardner, arrived from the West with what he represented as the last will and testament of Mrs. Jephson. The limper' and the court both examined it with sus- picion but could find no flaw in the signa- ture, which was remarkably like the aigna- tures of Jephson on documente already ex- hibited in court. Gardner claimed that his son had: nursed the old lady through a serious illnese some years before, and thus it was explained how ant of gratitude she might havo willed the bulk of her estate to the young man, as in this will. The document cunningly provided bequests for numerous relatives, of whom Mrs. Jephson often spoke in high terms in her Western home. With the appearance of Gardner and his will all the court pro- ceedings were upset, and, as ctardner de- manded his alleged rights under the law, there was nothing to do but give in to him. This was the time when the library was sold. In examining the hooka after he had them unloaded in his store Mr. Sizer dis- povered a will duly signed by Mrs. Jephson end attested by the proper number of wit- !nesse% Without knowing of the court pro- ceedings and the Gardner will, the book- iseller took the document to the executor of the estate, and another bitter wrangle in court at once followed. Gardner had his witnesses, who testified to having seen Mrs. Jephson acknowledge the will, and he re- • used to back out. Officers were sent to Denver, and one of the witnesses whose name was signed to the last will was found and brought to Chicago. The will found in the book was dated earlier than the other, but, it being incontestably one of the de- qeaeed's 'wills, established a point from which to act. It was shown by that wilLthat Mrs. Jephson was not in the same part of the country at the time when Gardner elaimed she was, and therefore the court decided in favor of the will laat found. - Chicago Morning News. - , Sin's Fatal Fascination. When once a young man has done a wrong thing, at has an awful power of at- tracting hire and making him hunger to do i. again. Every evil that I do may, for a omelet, create in me a revulsion of con- science, but stronger than that revulsion of c, nscience, it exercises a faseination over ri e that is hard te resist. It is a great deal easier to find a man that has never done a rang thing than to find a man that has oaly done it once. If the wall of the dyke ii sound it will keep the water out, but if t ere is the finest hole in it, it will all come i. So the evil that you do asserts its power elver you; it has a fierce, hanging desire after you, and it gets you intolite clutches. Beware of the first evils, for as sure as you are living, the first step taken will make the second, seem to become neceesary. The firat drop will be followed by a bigger sec- ond, and the second, at a short interval, by alrnore copious third, nail the drops become a 'shower, and the shower becomes a deluge. The course of evil is ever wider and deeper a,nd more tumultuous. The little sins get iri at the window and open the front door far the big house breakers. One smooths the path for the other. All sin has an aw- ful power of perpetuating and increasing it- self. As the prophet says in his awful vis- ion of the doleful creatures that make their sort lothe deselate city, "None of them shall want her mate. The wild besets of the desert shall meet with ' the wild beasts of the islands." Every sin tells upon the cheracter, and makes the repetition of it- self more and more easy. " None is barren among them." And all sin is linked to- gether in elirny tangle, like a seaweed, so that the man once caught in its oozy fingers hi almost sure to drown. -.a Some Successful Mechanics. In this country there is practically no end to the number of men who found a trade the nioet valuable of all helps on the road to feme and fortune, writes Foster Coates in his boys' department in the January Ladies' florae Journal. There is Thomas A. Edon, the greatest genius of our day. Learning telegraphy was the first thing that led him iuto that intimacy with electricity which has ended with him being its master; An- drew Carnegie was a telegrapher; Chas. Pratt, who did more to help young men to acquire trades than any man whom I oan mention, etartecl in life as a machinist; Judge Daniels, of the Supreme Court of the State ef New York, was a shoemaker; William R. Grace, Who was mayor of New York, and who is Worth acme twenty million dollars, was a butcher; the late George Jones, who, as editor tithe New York Times, was one of the most powerful men of his day, was; a printer's "devil," in the same office with forace Greeley when bath were boys; jay Gould, the great financier, Was first a tanner Chils!ren Cry for and then a surveyor ; Dr. John R. Paxton, D.D., who preaches to the wealthiest con- gregation in the world, began life as a car- penter; Philip Armour, the Chicago million- aire, was a moulder; the late John Kelly, the famous politioian, was a grate seller; John D. Rockefeller, now worth one hun- dred and twenty-five million dollars, was a mechanic in iron; Rev. Robert Collyer, RD., was a blacksmith; John A. Mackay was a stone -mason !before he became the owner of the Comstock Lode, and one of the richest men in the world; Jesse Seligman, the eminent banker and philanthropist, laid the foundation of hie fortune by studying in the very p_oor night; trade echools that ex- ieted when he weal young; United States Senator Hill, of New York, was a printer; the late Henry W. Grady, the greatest orator the South has given 118 since the days of Calhoun, was also a printer. And so it goes. I could give scores of other names of men who wero. mechanics, or were skilled in trades and became gieat after serving faith- fully at their varionst tasks. My First Acquaintance With Tennyson. When I was a child, my father's family resided for some time at Belleville, a sub- urb of Paris -a locality since become tragic- ally famous through the terrible scenes enacted there during the " Commune" insurrection; but then a peaceful, quiet place, with its little theatre, its stores, and its cafes -like a city on a small scale. One day, a package of sugar was brought home from the grocer's and laid on the dining -room table, And here 'I may mention par parenthesis, that nearly all the sugar used at that time in France was made from beete. The manufacture of beet -root sugar was established by Napoleon I., during his wars with England, as it was impossible then to obtain the cane sugar from the West Indies; and so succeelful an enterprise did it prove that it was coatinued after the war ceased, and became onia of the regular in- dustries of France. 1 The beet -root sugar does not come in the pjowdered or granulat- ed forme to which we re accustomed, nor in solid cubic blocks like loaf sugar, but in shapelees lumps, very porous and of a gray- ish, whitish color. Well, this shapeless, lumpy Otani of sugar, as it lay on the diningfroom table, attracted the attention of some of the younger mem- bers of the family, by the fact that it was done up in printed papier ; and not only that bat paper printed in English. Hastily the paper seas removed frolm the sugar, eagerly was it examined. It proved to be part of an unbound edition eif poems, by Alfred Tennyson, which some enterprising French nblisher had brought out in Paris, and finding no sale for it, ad disposed of the unbound sheets to Monaieur Dubois, the grocer, for wrapping paper! The French public h d failed to appreci- ate the embryo Laurealte, then just making his way to public fa or in England. But not so the little girl,whose eager eyes conned every part of that ely sheet. She saw, or rather felt unconsci nsly, the stamp of genius, as she read, .sy th inexpressible de. light, of "the golden 1&ys of good Hereon Alraschid," "The Death of the Old Year," and fragmentary bite4f other early poems. The last named poez1, in particular, made a strong impression onmy youthful fancy: and to this day, I eldem enter on a new year, without repeati g to myself the well - remembered lines I fir t read on that sugary sheet: 'There's a new foot on t e iloor, m -y friend, And a new face at the door, my friend, A new face at the door.1 Isabella MacFarlane, in Wide Awake. "Lazy Folks Work The Hardest." So an old story goes. This familiar pro. verb was once very forcibly illustrated by a father walking with hit son for pleasure and instruction. As they trudged on in the sultry summer heat, they carne upon an old horseshoe lying in the road, and the father, mindful of -the traditional good -luck attend- ing one, bade the boy pick it up. The lad glanced at it careleesly, and replied that it was not worth carrying, and passed on. The father silently picked it up, and on reaching a roadside s ithy sold the old iron for a penny, ifrbich he invested in cherries. The day grew more 1hob and oppressive, and the boy east longi g eyes toward t the box of cherries, wonde ing the while that none were offered im. Presently the father began eating them, and as if by az- cident dropped one to the ground. The boy picked it up eagerly and smacked his lips over the refreshing juice. A little further on nother cherry dropped and then another, and another, until all the cherries were dropped and picked up. When the last juicy tpleasantly, "You herry had been eat- en, the father said thought it would not pity to pick up ' that horseshoe, but if you hod stooped for that, you wouldn't have had to bend twenty times for the cherries, my son."

I was hot, and he drove part way at nig other herd the cattle b next day about noon a rangers overtook the he ed their cattle which they said were stolen. iThey were a rough lot of men, with long hair, slouch hats, and covered all over with belts, pistols, bowic-knives.

The poor fellow Wal3 complete- ly overcome. He looked at the men, turned pile, and commenced, "How many of you men have wives?" Fe r or five nodded. "How many have child en ?" They nodded again. "Then you wit know what I mean, and I'll talk to you. I ever stole any (At- tie. I came here three years ago. I am from New Hampshire; I failed there in the panic of '57.

"I'll do better un that," said a rough ranger with a bowie-knllfe in his hand. "1 Pitcher's Ca toria. say, boys, let's buy hie cattle and let him go home now 1" They did; and when the money was counted the herdsman was too weak to stand. The sudden change unnerved him completely. An hour later he left on horse- back for a near stage -route; and when he left, the rengers shook hands with him, cheered, and looked happy. What la a Drunkard. What is I a drunkard?.I have gone through the whole creation that lives, and I find nothing in it like the drunkard. The drunkard isInething but a drunkard. There is no other thing in nature to which he can be likened. The drunkard is a self-made wretch who has depraved and has gratified the depraved cravings of tho throat and body, until he has sunk his Soul SO far that It is lost in his flesh,. and has sunk his very flesh lower down beyond comparison than that of the very animals which serve him. He is a self -degraded creature, whose degradation is niade manifest to every one but himself; a self-made miserable being who, while he is insensible to his own misery, afflicts every one around him or be- longing to him with misery. The drunkard is let loose upon mankind like some foul, ill -boding, and noxious animals, to pester, torment and disgust everything that reasons or feels, while the curse of God hangs over his place and the gates of Heaven are closed against him. Drankennesa is never to be found alone, never unaccompanied by some horrid crime, If not by a wicked crowd of them. Go to the house of the drunkard, consider his family, look on his affairs, listen to the sounds that proceed from the house of drunkenness as you pass, survey the in- aecurity of the public ways and of the night streets. Go to the hospital, to the house of charity, and the bed of wretchedness. Enter the courts of justice, the prison and the con- demned cell. Look at the haggard features of the ironed criminal. Ask all these why they exist to distress you, and you will everywhere be answered by tiles and reci- tals of drunkenness. And the miseries, and the vices, and the sorrow, and the scenes of suffering that have harrowed up your soul were almost without exception either pre- pared by drinking or were undergone for procuring the means 'of setiefying this vice old the vices which sprung from it. -Arch- bishop Ullathorpe. Scary Women. Late dispatches contain two little stories which should commend themselves to the general attention. Two handsome, rosy young Irish girls were 011 their way across the ocean to join their brothers in Brooklyn. The brothers were well-to-do and expected to take care of their sisters. But when the ship on which the girls were was three days out a heavy 'term arose. The scene was terrible enough, and most of the passengers- were more or less alarmed. But one of the pretty Irish girls was so frightened that she became a raving maniac, soared into insan- ity by the storm. When she reached New York the vessel was obliged to return her to Ireland under the law requiring that buena persons shall be shipped back to the coun- try whence they came. It made no differ- ence that her grief-stricken brothers stood ready to provide for her and pay all her ex- penses. Back she went, being confined meantime in a dark, little, unventilated cell on the ship. The other story relates to women whom one would think had sense and self-eoutrol enough not to be frightened like an idiot or an infant at what seemed slightly myster- ious or unfamiliar, namely, farm women. But a Connecticut farmer's wife, whose hus- band was away for the night, was so seared that she went into convulsions and remained so, her death being hourly expected, at the time the telegram was sent, along with that of her two daughters, aged fifteen and eigh- teen, respectively. The girls were scared out of their senses, like their mother, and could do nothing but utter screech upon screech, and then, like her, go over in con- vulsions. One knows not whether to laugh or to feel in,despair of women's overlearning common sense when he is told that the death fright of these women was caused by a helplees little chimney swallow that bad fallen down the pips into an empty stove in the mother's room. It fluttered and made an unusual noise, and these farm women went into convulsions. Can woman ever hope to amount to any- thing morally, intellectually or phyeically when she is scared to death by a chimney sswallow? It is pitiable, this tendency to Fo off into unreasoning panic that cha4acter- nes so many of the female sex. It is carry- ing the proverbial weakness and helpless- ness of woman to a most ridiculous and uu- comfortable degree. In the bringing up of little girls, if the attempt is not hopeless, it should be insisted on strenuously that they first find out whether the object of their terror is anything more than a chimney - swallow before they tumble over in convul- sions. • How to Read Fiction. A reading of fiction which throws off care, or a reading of fiction which b4ngs know- ledge to men's minds -as does nrh of the fiction that is written nowada 8 -such a reading is beneficial. He who roads fiction to rest himself, to refresh himself, to lift himself above the dead -level of he vulgar real, reads it to his advantage- ahd profit; but he who reads it to, abide in it, never giv- ing back a better man to his every -day household or business 'flutiee, is hurt by it, - Henry Ward Beecher..

There were great splotcheel of mud dried and caked upon his face. "Is it true, General Lee, that you have surread- ered ?" "Yes, General Wise, it is true." "1 wish, then, to ask you one questian : What is going to become of my brigade, General Lee, and what is going to become of me ?" General Lee looked at the splashed warrior for a full minute, and then seid calmly and in a low tone: "General Wise,' go and wash your face." -Exchange. , An Ingenious Boy. A little lad who had become interested/ in gatheringlmoney to send the Gospel to the heathen, hit upon this happy device. He rumaged in the garret and found an old- fashioned powder -horn, which he decided, to make into a missionary box. His elder brother said he might have the horn, but wondered what he was going to do with it. The large end of the horn had a wooden bottom, and Eddie scraped it smooth, and asked his brother if he would out some let- tere on it. " Yes," said his brother, and Eddie gave him these words: " Once 1 was the horn of as ox, Now I ams missionary box." Eddie inked the letters, and then me he showed his box to his friends they were all so pleased with his ingenuity that they all put something into it, and he became a large contributor. -Sele cted .
