And h?re dwelt, also, that peace which Cod Igivelh to those who love Kim. Mrs. Clark came into the sitting room sud 'denly, and the girl lifted her head, and then turned it away quickly, bul I'Ot until the f.rU glance told the lady that the fair roso was swollen undstiiined with tears. .Janet Hill was a young seamstress whom Mrs. Clark had occasionally employed for the lu.-t six months. She 'was always attracted hy her young bright face, her modest, yet digni lied manner, and now the lady saw at once that some "rent sorrow had smitten tlifl girl. ( looviug the prompting of a warm impul sive heart, hho went to her and laid her hand or. her arm, saving softly. "Won't you tell ino what is troubling you .Janet?" ' Nothin ; that anybody can help," answered the girl, trying still to avert her fac e, while the tears swelled in her eyes from the i Hurt sh" mime (o speak. "Hut perhaps I can At any rate you know it ti jriiod soine'ino.s to "onfide our i-.irrows to m friend, and 1 need nut i.Ksi:reyoii that I sincerely grieve becju.-.e of your dis- tes." And so with kind words and liul f en i d-sing T.'.ovi incuts, of the litllo hand, laid on the co; iiiiiress' nrni, Mis. C. drew from her lips In r sad tory. She was an orphan, supporting herself hy her dailv labors, nnd she had cine brother, just Mxteen, three vears her junior. Jlih had hc-u lor siime lime a kind of an under clerk, in a Urge v.hol's.ile establishment, wl.eie there was evcrv pmspeet of his promotion; hut he had seriously injured himself in the summer hv lifting some bei.vv hales of goods, and at ln-t a dangerous fever set in, which kl finally 1 ft him in so exhausted a state that the lloctor despaired of his recovery. "And to think I shall never see him more. Mr". Clark," cried the poor girl, with a fresh hurt.! of tear. "To think he must die away there, r.n.ong stranger.;, in the hospital, with no loving face to bend over him in his last hours, or brush aw ny the damp cutis from the forehead which mainu n-ed to he so proud of (.) George niv darling, luight faced iitle brother George," nnd here (he poor girl broke iiov. it in a storm of tears. ' Tov,- chi'd, voor xhild," murmure.! Mrs. Clark, her swef.l eyes swimming with tears. '"tV.'.V much Vo'ul'i It Cnt Tor voil trt ito to your i-rorher and reiuru?" hhe Hhked nt lupt.

At last ishe said kindly, "Well, roy child, try and hear up bravely, and we will tee what c.iii be done for you," and the warm cheerful tones rninlorted th sitd hrt of the seamslro. The lady wont up staus and took the piece out of her ivory port inounaie. There was a hrief, sharj. struggle in her mind. "Somehow I've set my heart on this velvet cloak," klm thought, "and lMnrd will he disappointed. I was going to select th velvet this Very af trrnoon. lint then, there's that dying hoy lying there with strange faces all ahout him, and lunging, as the slow hours go ty, for a g'.jlht of his bUle'T that loves hiin, and would not the thought haunt mo every time I put on my new cloak?

No, ou must go without a cloak this time, and hnvt tho pleasure of knowing you've smoothed the puth going down to the valley of death, Mary Clark." And tdio cliisc l the port monuaio resolutely, and went down stairs ''Jiiet, put up your work this women! there is no time to be lost. Here is the money Take it an I go to your brother."

"George! George I" The words leaped from her lips, as the sister sprang forward to the low bed hcro the youth lay, Ms white, sharpened face, gleaming death liko from amidst (lie thick ypllow curls. He opened his ltrg" eyes sud lenlv a flush passed over his pallid face He Stretched out his thin arms: "Oh Janet! I have prayed t)od for the sight of yt'ti once more before I die." "His pu'se is stronger thnn it hns K?en fur two weeks, and his face has a In 'tor hue," said tha Doctor, a few ho-.irs later, as he made his morning visit through the wards of tho hospital ' His sister came yesterday and watche, with him," answered the attendant., glancing at .tho young gir! w ho hung breathless over thti sleeping invrdid. "Ah, that explains it. I'm not certain but that the young man has recuperative power e-nough left to recover, if ho cnnH have the enre and tenderness fr t'.e next two months, w hich Vive atone can furnish." Hew Janet's heart leapi'd at the blessed words! That verry morning she had an in terview with her brother's employers. They had been careless, but not intentionally un kind, nnd the girl's story enlisted their sym pathies. In a day or two, George was removed to a epiiet, comfortable private home, and his sis tor installed herself r.s his nurse and com forter.

Save this peculiarity, there was noth ing to distinguish M r. itrown fr m thn nulti tude of other Browns who are horn, grown up and elie in this world of ours. It chanced that Mr. Urowu had occasion tc visit a town some fifty miles distant on matter cf business. It was his first visit to the place, anil he proposed stopping for a day, in order to give himself an opportunity to look about. Walking leisurely along the street, he Was fcll ftt once accosted hy a child of five, who ran up to him exclaiming ' Father I want you to buy mo some more candy." "Father?" was it pnrVihle that lui a bache lor, was addressed hy that title? Kn 'could tiot believo it. "Who were you (.peaking to my dear?'' ho inquired of the little girl. ' I spoke to you futher," said the little one surprised. 'Tleiilly," thought Mr Drown, 'tliia is em' birrasssing." "I am not your father my dear," he said, "what is your name?' The child Ian plied heartily, evidently think ing it a good joke. "What a funny father yon are," jdio said, but you are going to buy me gome candy." "Yes, yes, I'll buy yon a pound if you won't call me father any more," said Mr. lirown nervously. ' Clr' clapped her hands wiin ue- light. The promise was nil she remembered Mr lirowij proceeded to a confectionary store, and actually bought a pmind of candy, which he placed in the hands of the little girl. In coming out of the store they encounter- 1 cd the child's mothe r. I "Oh, mother," said tho little glil "just I si'e hoiv f-iieh candy father has bought for 1111'." ) "YeVu shouldn't have bought her so mii' h ! ret n time, Mr. Jones," said the lady, 1 I am afraid she will make; hers'edl' nick. "B it how ' did von happen to get home so quick ? 1 did not e xpect you till right." I "Jones 1 madnine, ' said the eml.nrras cd Mr. Itrown, "it's all a mistake; I ain't Jones at all. It isn't my name. I nm Eli- ph,lct Drown, of W , and ll.is ij tha first time I eve.- came into this city." ! "flood heavens I Mr. Jones what has put tills silly tale into your head? Voil have c -included to change your name, Iimvo you? Perhaps it is your intention to change your w-To." Mrs Jones' tone was now eh fiant, nnd this tended to incn-use Mr. Brown's embarrass rilent. "I haven't any wife, madam; I never had any. On my word ns a gentli'inai!, never was iiinriieel." ' And do yon intend to palm this tale off upon 1111;? ' said Mrs Join's, with excile-mnut. "If yon nre not married, I'd like to know who I am '" "I have no doubt you are a most respect able lady," said Mr. Itrown, "and I conjec ture, froui what you have said, that your name is Jones, but mine is lirown, madume, Bmi 'nJiS was.' Meiinds," Bid the mother, sudder.lv tak ing Imr child by the arm, and h nding her up to Mr. Urown, Molimla is ho is this gentle man ?'' "Why, that's father!" was the child's im rnoe'iate reply, as the confidently placed he-r band in his. "You hear that Mr. Jones do you ? You bear whr.t tho innoei-nt child says, and yet you ban-the unblushing impudence te. deny that you are my husband I The voie e ol ns': tire, speaking through the child, should overwhelm you. '( like to know, if you are not her father, why you ate buying candy for her? But I presume you never tow her be fore in vourlife." "I never did. On my honor, I never did. I told her I would give hetr the) candy if she wouldn't call me father any more." "You did, did you? liribed your child riot to call you father? Oh, Mr. Jones, that is infamous! Do you intend to desert me to the cede! charities of tho world? And is this your first step ?" Mrs. Junes was so overcome thut, without I warning, she fell back upon the sidewalk .1. a ( fam,,"S U I Instantly h number of pe rsons run to her RMls"l,'CC' ,. !

Old John Ja cob Astor was worth three or four millions. , Tl.u richest men acre connected wiih com merce. There wore then five or six leading commercial firms, such as 0, 0. 4 S. Rowland, Ooodhue i Co., Orinnel, Minturn & Co., and SpeuTorei &. Tilestejn.
