Maurice Dinham was senior partner - the house of Dinham & Co., jewellers, lie was rich, proud, ana at least sixty years old though he looked ten years younger. It was rumored he soon in tended to give up active business life and seek that rest which long years of toil had earned for him. Maurice Dinham had never been mar ried. In reply to his friends' banter ings he had always replied that "he cfluld never find time for it" In his business life he had always been cold and somewhat stern ; and now he had fl-git lew friends, and they were not in timate. One morniBg he announced to his bu siness agent, a Mr. Kose, that he had fully made up his mind to leave the business, and had engaged passage on board ol a steamer that was to sail for Europe the following week. The irm was to continue the same as formerly; the business agent to supervise the en tire concern, and receive a lair share of the profits for his services. The clerks were thoroughly instructed as to their future duties; promotions were made and men discharged ; and then, for the lirst time in forty yeare, Maurice Din ham felt able to take a rest. JJapgage and knick-knacks were sent on board tor the comfort of the prince ly p:tssenger, and at last the great man followed himself. He had driven to the wharf in a close carriage and in the company of two boxes, about whose safety he felt very solicitous; on reach ing the wharf he carefully superintend edUie remcval of one to his cabin; the other was safely lodged in the inside breast pocket of his coat. Once in his cabin he gave utterance to a sigh of relief. Drawing the small package i torn his breast pocket, he re moved the cuiside covering of chamois leather, disclosing to view an exquisite ly carved Ikx of some foreign wood, iutif ully inlaid with jearls and other precious stones. Alter gazing lovingly at it for a few moments, he replaced it in its chamois covering, and returned it to his pocket. Xext taking a bunch of keys from his coat he unlocked the iron hound box which had been placed on the floor. On raising the lid a coarse piece of canvas was seen ; this removed a sight met the eyes that would have causcl a stoic to tremble. One could easily imagine the wealth of the Indies before him; diamonds, rubies, pearls, and a thousand strange looking gems dazeled and bewildered the gaze: ay! tens of millions were represented in that little iron bound box. For some time Maurice Dinham gazed at it medi- tatively. "A rare sight," he muttered, dreamily "A rare sight for some; but ene soon gets used to pretty baubles. And 'tis for these shining stones that men will fight and sin, and even die, if need be. A strange world! a strange world!" He was right, A strange world and a strange exclamation for a man who v had labored all his life for these same baubles. "With a sigh the old man closed the box and concealed it under his berth; then he once more took the smail pack age from his pocket and began to ex amine it, Whata rare treasure it must contain to draw the attention from the priceless gems just concealed! Slowly the steamer plowed her way through the stormy waters of the At lantic. Thus far she had found fair weather ; but it was not expected to last, for at that season of the year the north ern shores were famed for their often and long continued storms. At last she entered the fog banks of Xewfoundland ; hardly had she done so when a terrific wind arose, throwing the billows moun tain high, and sending them with re sistless force over the steamer's deck. To add to the misfortunes, a fire broke out in the steerage; at first it was sup posed to be trifling, but owing to the high wind it soon gathered headway enough to imperil the steamer. As siHn as the captain saw there was no " hope of saving the vessel, he ordered two boats to be launched ; thoi-gh there was a tremendous sea, the waves rolled so steadily that, with proj.er manage ment, there was little danger of their being capsized. The boats were quickly died with the -planned passengers, and pushed off; at last there was but two remaining, and Maurice Dinham saw that if he wished to leave the doomed vessel he must be quick. During the confusion he tad not betrayed the least sign of alarm, but had leisurely walked here and there, curiously watching the strange scene around him. At length the rapidly les sening crowd on deck brought him to his senses. Suddenly, as he was making his way toward the boats, he seemed to remember something, for with an ex clamation of wonder at his forgetful ness, he turned and hurried below. Reaching his cabin, he paused a mo ment in irresolution ; his two treasures were concealed there; one under the berth, and the other on the opposite side of the room in a strong sea chest It teok him but a moment to decide; springing forward he opened the chest, taking from it the little chamois cov ered package; then, without a single glance toward the millions of dollars he was leaving behind, he rushed on deck, reaching it just in tune to enter the last boat that was pushing off. Luckily for the passengers of the steamer there were plenty of boats. Maurice Dinham had seen but little of the sea; he had had no leisure for that; so their present peril was enjoyed ny him with all the ardor of a school boy who has some fresh novelty. For tunately for him, they were spared the horrors which generally attend a ship wreck ; before the succeeding noon they entered the port of a little fishing ham let, where they were hospitably received by the inhabitants, a poor, hard work ing people, who seemed to vie with each other as to who should do the strangers tae most kindness. But their hearts were larger than their purses, so it be hooved the shipwrecked party to en deavor to help themselves. A few of them had money ; they were able to hire boats and sail for the nearest port en tered by large vessels; others formed themselves into parties and endeavored to find civilization by traveling over land; the remainder among whom was Maurice Dinhamj settled down among the fishermen, concluding it was safer to court fortune there than to risk their lives in the almost inaccessible mountains through which the overland parties weuld have to travel. Maurice Dinham had a few dollars in his pockets when he was so unceremo niously thrust upon the world; not oughto reach home, to be sure, but enough to buy a share in old Esak Cob ber's fishing smack, with whom he was glad to enter into partnership. A great fall, truly, for the millionaire who a few days before would have scorned to shake hands with the rough fisherman. But Maurioe Dinham, in spite of the high position he had held, had plenty of com mon sense, and saw that the partnership small as it was would be a great blessing in his present condition. So he engaged a room in old Esak's hut, and purchased a few simple pieces of furni ture wiiich he would need in his new calling among others there was an old sea chest, wherein the package which he had sacrificed so much to save was concealed ; to this he made regular daily visits, examined the fiackage, readjusted the chamois, then replaced it in the chest. Five years passed by without bring ing the sum necessary to defray his expenses home ; during this time he had fsuna no opportunity of communicating with his friends, saving, indeed, a few letters sent by overland parties, but which had probably been lost, as no answer was ever received. During these years he had grown considerably older and his steps far less firm than in the days of yore. At last, one morning, when old Esak went to arouse him, the unfortunate old merchant was found to have given up the contest, and departed to the "ever green shore." In his hand was found the curiously carved casket, the lid half open; evidently the old merchant had been examining it when he dropped in to his last long sleep. Gently for old Esak had learned to love the unfortunate stranger the cas ket was removed. It seemed to be filled with an assortment of odds and ends ; first to appear was a package of letters, written in a feminine hand, addressed to "Dear Maurice." This was followed by bits of ribbon, a faded necktie and a tiny gold ring. An old fool, truly Waierlv Magazine. Up in a Balloon. Tlie Airy Adventure of Miss LIzjIc IMiug Wle The Lady Tells ller Own Story lu Terne Language. Miss Lizzie Ihling Wise, a niece of the great aeronaut, made an ascension in the balloon -Amazon," from Grand Avenue Base Ball Park, between 5 and 0 o'clock on Sunday evening, and landed, after going some sixteen miles, in Co lumbia bottom. Keturning to the city yesterday morning, she repaired to her apartments in the Planters'. A Globe Democrat reporter saw her in the parlor during the afternoon. ''Please tell us all about your trip," he suggested. "Very well," she graciously responded. And, taking out his note book and i a ber, the reporter wrote, at Mis3 Wise's dictation, the following narrative of her twentieth lerial voyage. 'As you are aware, I ascended from the base ball ground, on Grand avenue, on the 14th inst. The ascension was delayed in the hope that a later hour would bring an atmosphere sufficiently calm to justify my exploding experi ment, as announced. The squalls of wind, however, continued till nightfall. When my car was trimmed for the flight, black and angry clouds were looming up. At 1 : 48 o'clock I ordered the ropes to be loosed, and up ana off went the Amazon. The approving plaudits of my friends in the grounds and the more vociferous shouts of my numerous friends outside the grounds, sent me up and off in a happy mood At an elevation of several hundred feet the balloon made a plunge, and careened so much I thought she would bolt to the earth. In another moment she resumed a perpendicular shape. Close above me stood an abyss of black clouds, rolling along in billows, and my airship made several fearful plunges. The elements were troubled and looked angry. Into the black abyss the Amazon darted wickedly. Here came a new experience for me. Dark as pitch all around me, and noises sufficiently tumultuous to suit the occasion, it was fearfully, aw fully grand. Like the mocking bird's glee, improvising the notes of all other biids, so the dinful noises that reached me in this darkness seemed like a com bination of all the no'ses the ear is cog nizant of howling, rumbling, chatter ing, piping, squealing, bellowing all mixed up in tumultuous discord. Pan demonium seemed to be let loose. In a few moments I emerged from the gloomy cloud cavern. Xow came a charming scene. The earth was visible in spots, and the lovely moon was play ing "hide and bo-peep." Aladdin's lamp was realized in the view, and my mind became so absorbed in this stupendous "black-crook'' scenery that it made me forget the care necessary to a night de cent I was now sailing rapidly towards the Mississippi. The glimmer of the waters was the only thing visible, and I found the Amazon was likely to douse me in the river. When I got within a few hundred feet of the water, 1 found my course to be on a line with the river, and I was right above it I now threw overboard large quantities of ballast That raised me up 2,000 feet but the cold air of night caused the balloon to descend again; and, finding my course, to avoid the water, I made a dart for the etTth, only to plunge into the tall tree tops of some roueh wood land. Now came the most trying of all my balloon experience. I could not see a thing on earth, and the Amazon made fearful j plunges through the woods, crashing and cracking the limbs of the trees as it went along. All of a sudden, I was lift ed up several hundred feet above the tree tops, but only to plunge down more suddenly between the tall trees, where the balloon became hedged in, and I partly made up my mind to have a night's lodging in the tree top. In an other moment I heard human voices, and I called out for help, to which came the pleasant respoRse of, "Where are you?" I cried aloud, -Up here in the tree top. Help me down, if you please." "How shall I help you V answered good Mr. Charles Sheva. I threw him a rope and he pulled as hard as he could, but could not get the balloon low enough for me to step down and out. My car was now partly bottom up, and I could plainly see Mr. Sheva below when he bade me slide down in his arms, at the same time saying, "I am large and strong." I slid down head foremost into Mr. Sheva's arms, and thus reached the earth unharmed. I left the Amazon in the woods all night, and staid till morn ing at Mr. Sheva's hospitable house. Xext morning we went over to rescue the balloon. Mr. 5. cut down one of the trees, and thus rescued the air ship, very slightly damaged. The landing was effected on Columbia Bottom, St Louis County, sixteen miles from the J place I started. Mr. S. brought me back with his team. I landed at 6 o'clock and 20 minutes. The highest point at tained was C.000 feet. Temperature at starting 00 degrees : at 6,000 feet, sn de grees, This voyage, to me, was a unique act in the drama of a-ronautics, and I would not have missed it for any amount of every day pleasure, because it was interesting, instructive and full of romance, though I must confess to a mental chill when the Amaz n showed such a great partiality for hydrostatic aeronautics. St Louis Globe-Democrat Jientiment Utilized. A man with a new hand organ was grinding out tunes on Miami avenue, yesterday forenoon, when a young lady beckoned him to the gate and asked: "Do you think you can And Xo. , Woodward avenue V He nodded his head. "Well, you walk down there and I'll follow on. When you see me enter the store you start off with some sad tune, like "Growing Old." He nodded. faYou see my father owns the store, and he's hard up. I want six dollars to use this afternoon, and if we can sad den his heart a little he will be sure to come down." He nodded. "Now, then keep your eyes open, and when you see me sail in do you brace your feet, strike up the saddest tune in your box, and grind as if your lire de pended. Ill give yeu fifty cents wheth er pap comes down or not, but he'll hand over the minute we can make him think of the past and gone. Do you un derstand ?" He grinned and nodded, and made a bee line for the store, and in a few min utes the strains cf "The Old Folks at Home" were heard above the roar of traffic Detroit FreePreM. A Mistake Often Made. Boys and young men sometimes start out in life with the idea that one's sue cess depends on sharpness and chicane ry. They imagine if a man is able al ways 'to get the best of a bargain,' no matter by what deceit and meanness he carries his point, that his prosperity is assured. This is a great mistake. Enduring prosperity cannot be founded on cun ning and dishonesty. The tricky and deceitful man is sure to fall a victim, sooner or later, to the influences which are forever working against him. His house is built upon the sand, and its foundation will be certain to give way. Young people cannot give these truths too much weight The future of that young man is safe who eschews every phase of double-dealing, and lay the foundation of his caieer in the enduring principles of everlasting truth. There was silance in the school, say the Danbury News. The teacher had struck the bell calling attention. This was a favorite opportunity for the spread of information, and one of the little boys perceiving it raised his hand. 'What is it, Johnny T asked the teach er. "Tommy Miggs' fathei's cow has got a calf," shouted the excited young ster,his face aglow with the intelligence. The teacher wilted. Many men regard a newspaper as they do a brick-bat. They like to have one handy when they are mad, but pay no attention to it any other time. Bhaker Diet. Their diet is simple but sufficient Pork is never eaten, and only a part of the Shaker people eat any meat at all Many eat no food produced by animals ; denying themselves even butter, milk and eggs. At Mt Lebanon, and in some of the other societies, two tables are set, J one with, the other without, meat They consume much fruit eating it ever meal ; and they have always fine and ex tensive vegetable gardens and orchards. Father Evans, (the Shakers call him El der Evans, but we like Father better), now about seventy years old and at the head of one branch of the Shaker com munity at Lebanon, has not eaten flesh for nearly four years, and he is hale and hearty ; much more so than most men of his age ; yet when he commenced his vegetable diet he was in a declining state of health ; as he tells us a candi date for consumption.

In calling attention to the adver tisement of the Mason & Hamlin Or gans in another column it can hardly be necessary for us to say anything in com mendation of these famous instruments which stand at the very head of their class both in Europe and America. At all World's Exhibitions of recent years ; that in Paris, 1607; in Vienna in 1873; in Santiago in 1875 and at the United States Centennial. Philadelphia, in 1870, they have taken highest honors. George F. Bristow, Esq., one of the jurors in the latter, writes that the jury had no difficulty m deciding which organs were best; every one recognized the superior ity of the Mason & Hamlin Organs, in all important qualities. Theodore Thom as, the famous conductor of Thomas Orchestra, and the Philharmonic Socie ty, Xew York, whose acquaintance with musicians is as wide as that of any other man, says that the Mason & Ham lin Organs are the best in the world,and that musicians generally think so. In these days when so many poor or gans are made and sold, it is something to know that it is possible to avoid all rlanoror nf iliannnnintTnpnt. nnrl ho anro b r , of obtaining the best instrument of the kind which can be made.
