TOO-y The moment a man achieves brilliant sucoess there’s always somebody at hand to tell haw poor, how ob'8cure, how no “ account “he used to be, and to express wonder. and astonishment that he should ever have “ amounted to anything." The fact that he has amounted to something, that he has proved himself a success, seems to make} some of his acquaintances feel that they have been robbed in a manner, and that by so much as he has risen above them in position or influence, by so much they are dwarfed. Men who have gropcd blindly to find a fitting place for the exercise of their talents find it, and with it come naturally apprecia- tion, money, influence, prosperity. Can their good fortune cause anything but rejoicing in a magnanimous and noble mind 1 There are very few men of note before the American public'who have not” fought theirway up thrciugh poverty, obscurity, disaster and count- less opposition of adverse circumstances. Vanderbuilt began as a boatman in New York harbor ; Stewart was once a small retail merchant in a Broadway basement; Thomas Scott was at first fireman and coal heaver; Ezra Cornell would have gone without his supper at one time but fora shilling he picked :up in the street; Cyrus Field floun- dered in debt and poverty to the lips during one portion of his life ; Elias Howe tried semiâ€"starvation many a long year while perfecting the sewing ma- chine ; Anna Dickinson scrubbed door- steps to pay to get her start in life. In fact, almost everybody, “that is anyâ€" body,” has had to fight for his crown, andywhen he gets it; shouldn’t every- body rejoice with him? Doubtless there’s many and many a diamond that is never polished and set, but lies buried in the mountain gulches covered with mud ; many a “ mute iuglorious Milton ” sleeps in quiet country church- yards, but the world is flashing with light from diamonds that are set, ring- ing'witli melody from Wiltons that are not mute. One thing is certain; the man or the woman whois occupied in picking to pieces the crown lawfully won by a successful neighbor is not likely ever to wear one, for the time thus spent is worse than wasted, and the disposition that can find pleasure in employment so ignominious and de- grading can never find those aspirations, labors and toils congenial which bring deserved reputation and honor and success. An Amesbury man had a singular dream under the follow circumstan- ces; His father and mother had, re- cently died within three or four weeks of each other, i A and . enewnight in a dream he saw his‘mether standâ€" ing by his bed, “and a little distance away he saw a cot bed with a pecul- coverlet, on which lay" a mum with his back turned toward him. His mother called him by name, and said, “ Here are seven dollars.” He attached no significance to the dream until, when he went to the post-office, he received a letter stating that his brother, who was on a. Western rail- road, had been badly crushed, and requested his presence immediately. On arriving at his brother’s home he was struck with surprise when he ‘found mm lying on a cot bed, with the same kind of a eoverlet as he had seen in his dream. The brotherdied and the gentleman was still more as- tonished when, on settling his affairs the first bill presented was for the amountof seven (lollars.â€"-â€"Bosfon Herâ€" ald.

MUSTARD, ;" Proprietor, lngersol], 700-1y They formerly lived in Madison Square, and moved in the best New York society. The father, a NVall st. man, lost his money, and his wife, two sons and two daughters lived on the east side, and the best society knew them no more. Isolena, the youngest of the family, had accepted the situation with becoming forti- tude. She had three trunks laden with the spoils of Saratoga and New- port. They would keep her in clothes for two years, and so long as, the spoons held out to burn, to her; boarding house fare she could return. After the crash the father did noth- ing in particular, and the mother took to her bed. The sons, never having done any thing during their prosperous da'fs, kept sternly in that ‘noble path. ‘he elder daughter, in a fit of desperation, threw herself laway on a bookkeeper with eight hundred a year and was buried in Jersey. lsolena Van Rensselaer, be- ing a person of sense, sold the silver and jewelry a bit at a time, paid the family board bills, and so kept the wolf away. Weeks passed, and the store of spoons faded slowly. How much longer could they live on silverware? The wolf had already bayed the gas lamps-in Third Avenue, just around the corner, and the sound kept her awake in the night. One day there came a letter in- closing a check for one hundred dol- lars. Her hand shook as she unfold- ed the crisp paper, and sudden tears filled her eyes. Were the family miseries and poverty so wearing upon her that the sight of a’ check shook every nerve? And how had Heaven raised such friends in’ their hour of need ? It was only a letter for Cousin Mary Pelham. Cousin Kitty was to be married, and Mary wished to fur- nish oneroom in the new home. Would Isolena be so kind as to do shopping in the cityâ€"get a nice chamber carpet, and have it sent. up by express ? Glad to find something to divert her mind, Isolena ‘went shopping among the carpet men, selected‘what she thought would please and fit the prescribed measure, paid the bill, and returned home tlred out and minus fifteen cents paid for car fare. Two days after came a letter saying that " So, baby, wink, and blink, my boy. Your mother‘s nyes~" “ Nay, John They are hiR father’s eyes, indeed ; That I insist upon !" “ Well, he that as it, may, his mouth Is waiting for a. kiss. He‘s like you more, at least‘ my dear.

FRIDAY": AUGUST 27, 1875 Three day Isolena waited in heartâ€" sick impatience, and then there came three letters. One contained a dol- lar, another six, another ten, and each had a small order. Total pro- fits eightyâ€"five cents. She put on a pretty hood and a bright smile, and Went out to do the shopping. At the door her eyes fell on the walk, and a blush, half shame, half some thing else, mounted to her face. He actually said good morning, and ofâ€" fered his hand. She felt grateful to him that he should recognize her. So many once friends had passed her indifferent on the street that the thought that a Van Stupen should speak to her gave her unexpected happiness. ‘ “011, Mr. Van Stupen! how did you know ? I never can forgive myâ€" self for it.” “ Awful clever idea, D'Indemoiselle Tsolena.” “ Gad ! we all thought it a bright idea. Why, you’re a brokerâ€"in trade, you know; same as I am, and P011, and Dennison, and all the old set. Oh, by-the-way, Sister Patty is to be married, and I want to do the presenting business in good style. Will you please step into Tiffany’s, agii buy something pretty and suit- a e.” mean ?” “Biz, of course. Now you’re of- fended. I beg pardon, Miss Van Rensselaer. I would not hurt your ieelings for the world. You know I would not. l thought I could help youâ€"” “Van 1" “ That’s right, Isoâ€"~Misa Renssel~ aer, call me Van if you like.

Isolena’s share was the spoons and some diamond rings. The family was broken up and ruined, and each selfishly looked out for himself. The men went to the bad generally. The elder daughter furnished her parlor with her share of the wreck, and Iso- lena sold a diamond ring, and put an advertisement in the Tribune, Evew z'ng Post, Herald and American Agri- culturist. Then she found another and cheaper boarding place, and sat down to await results and starve. chaser of dress goods, gloves, hosiery and millinery..

Spend ital! and take out your commission.” v Within a week a. million people read this advertisement : “ [MADEMOIVSVELLE ISOLENA, PUR- “ the carpet was lovely, and we are all so much obliged.” The next day Isolena counted the spoons, and figured out their posi- tion. There wasjust enough plate to pay their board bill for exactly six weeks. She appealed to her father. He, poor man, had trouble enough on his hands. The wife and mother was dying. For a time the smaller griefs were lost in the greater; and then the mother crept away to peace and her grave, weary With the miser- able disasters of her family. With that he thrust a roll of bills into her hands, and disappeared into a University Place car just as they reached Broadway. That night she slept peacefully for the first time for weeks. She had earned enough in one day to support her three. The following day she laid aside one dol- lar from her earnings, and received seven more letters, inelosing forty dollars in all.- These orders employ- ed her nearly all day, and at night she sent a letter with each detailing the business transaction. The next day there came but one letter, and she was a trifle discouraged. Then came the Sabbath, and on the Monday there were twenty letters, including one that had evidently wandered about Madison Square in search of her for some time. It was from Fat: ty Johnson, late Van Stupen. She was charmed with her brother’s beau- tif‘ul present, and so glad to hear that Isolena had made the selection. Would it be too much trouble to do a little shoppingâ€"only one dozen of gloves, or so ? There was no money inclosed. Perha 3 Mrs. Johnson did not know Miss an Rensselaer was in business. Without the slightest hesitation she inclosed her advertisement to Mrs, Johnson, and explained her position. Mrs. Johnson might out her dead; she probably would. She might even talk to her brother, and» say bitter anddisagi-eeable things. Then she must. The following day brought more letters, and a loud complaint from her landlady concerning the trouble My Van Stupen, what do you “For all that, people might come up and annoy you. Your father and brothers have been looking for you. They told me yesterday, when I returned from Saratoga, and asked where you lived. I had seen your advertisement, but T would not tell them.” “ Thnf “Inn-1 hint] Pun uni-n ” “ That was kind, I’m sure.” “ You are bitter, Miss Van Rensse- laer. Had you seen them you would have thanked me for keeping them away.” “ They are my friends, sir." “I know it. Pardon me ifI seem unkind. I am not, Isolena. I would gladly serve you, gladly take you away from such a life, gladly offer youâ€"” Late one warm afternoon Isolena climbed the dismal stairs to her room, and found Mr. Van Stupen waitingr at her door, She could do no less than ask him to come in. He came into her little room, and then said, slowly, “ Is this your home, Isolena ?” “ Yes, Mr. Van Stupen ; it is my home, counting room, and all. 1 do up my packages here, and write my letters, and live generally. Don’t you think it a pleasant room?” “ Wellâ€"yes; but hardly safe." “ Oh, indeed it is. The janitor and his wife live up stairs, and the street door is locked at seven. I am never out after that. Besides, there are the police.” A knock M the door interrupted him. It was the postman. He gave her a large bundle'of letters, saying, pleasantly, “Biz is 3. looking up, mam’selle. Sixty-two letters is a. big haul.” She bowed the man out, and then, with the bunch of letters still in her hand, she said, slowly, “Thank you, Mr. Van Stupen. You are very kind. I need no help. I have created a good business, and I have more than a hundred dollars in the savings bank, and as soon as the fall trade opens I shall take more comfortable quarters. I am doing well, and I want for nothing savoâ€"” Slowly, day by day, her business increased. It kept her upon her feet and in the stores and stseets nearly all day, but in all her wanderings about town she never met Mr. Van Stupen or any one else who recog- nised her. Patty Johnson never an- swered her letter, and her family seemed to have utterly fallen out of her life. Weeks passed, and the warm season came. Then her business deâ€" clined, and she at once spent every dollar she could sparc in new adver- tisements, and within ten days her correspondence doubled in volume. She paused. The door slowly opened without warning, and a sham- bling figure crept in unbidden. It startled them both with a drunken laugh. of bringing up so large a mail. Iso- lena at once turned all her available assets into money, and made one more bold push for her life. After much search she found a small back- room on the third story of a store on Broadway just below Union Square, and having supplied it with second- hand furniture, set up for herself all alone in the city. The room was at once parlor, chamber, kitchen, and business office. A dollar a day gave her all this, and placed her within easy reach of the best stores both on Broadway and Sixth AVenue. The removal gave her a chance to adverâ€" tise again, and she went into it with seemingly reckless energy. She beâ€" lieved in advertising, and she meant to play a bold hand in the game. “Sayâ€"’Solcna, gimme a tenâ€" won’t you? I’ve had hard lines, I have.” “ What do you mean, sir, by this insolence ?” cried Mr. Van Stupen; “ take yourself off." “ Mr. Van Stupen,” cried the sister, interposiug between the men, “he is my brother. Edward, there is the money; now please go away. Come again another day.” Ramsey, daughter of Theodore Ramsey, 5f this city, to Allen Courtlaud, of Stamford, Connecticut.” Stumbling down the stairs, he crept away, and the two were left alone. By ten the next morning she had two advertisements in the Herald, one for a female book-keeper, and- ,one for a better room. At night she glanced over the paper to see if her advertisements had recived attention. Her eye fell on the marriage : “Yes, (lemme fy don’t. Ten d01- larsl here’s wealth for you.” “ That was not wise, Miss Van Ren- sselaer. He will trouble you again." “ He is my brother, sir,” she said with dignity; “ we will not speak of him more.” Mr. Van Stupen was in a measure defeated. He had not accomplished his mission, and after a few common places he withdrew, Without an invi- tation to renew his call. N ow was her life clear before her. She must give her Whole heart to her business. There was naught else to feed on, and she must take that or starve. The one friend she had re- tained had proved unfriendly. How had he dared to come to her since his engagement to Amy Ramsey? She had seen the engagement in a gessip’s letter in a newspaper many weeks before. ~ RAM$EÂ¥~~Q0§RT_LANp.â€"â€"Amy { gram Suddenly the clerk gave notice that she must leave, Ah, yes, going to be married. That was it. Her work was only a makeshift till a man could be found to support her. Af- ter some delay Isolena found her faâ€" ther, and he called upon her. Would he keep her books for her ? “ Never. She was an ungrateful girl thus to blast the family name. Julia never did, nor Edward, nor Thomas.” Could he support her? Well, no, not very conveniently. He was busy on the street, and it took all he could pick up to pay his board and the boy’s board. Byâ€"the-way, he was just a little short. Could she lend him twenty dollars for a day or two? In silence she gave him ten dollars, and he went away without even thankingr her. She sat down indignant and heart'â€" sore, 'and would have cried for shame and misery had not. a Visitor knocked. Patty Van Stupen. “ Isolcna 1 Can I believe myself T’ “ Yes, Patty, it is I. Can I be of service ?” “ Service ! Isolenu Van Rensselaer. One would think you were made- moiselle.” “So I am.” "Great Heavensl’has it come to this ?” “I do not know what, you mean, Miss Van Stupen. Shopping is my profession. This is my office, and I am neither ashamed or afraid. I explained it to you once by letter. Oh, pardon me. You are married, Mrs. â€"â€"Mre. ~’ ’ “Johnson, Isolena. I never got your letter, and I am truly grieved and shocked.” “ I do not know why you need be. I have a good name in my business and owe no man anything.” In all this neither father nor sister nor brothers ever visited her. She worked for a living. They never could forgive that. Madison Square concluded she must have died, and nobody contradicted the rumor. Mademoiselle Isolcna was often use- ful to Madison Square, but none knew her, none recognized her. ‘ She had changed somewhat, grown more plaâ€" cid quiet, and her face had put on a womanly beauty the Isolena of Mad- ison Square had never known. “ He once knew that I worked for a living, but that was along time ago. I have not seen him for a year 01’ more.” “ Does my brother know of this- this great; misfortune ?” “ He is in Germany. Did you not hear how that spiteful Amy Ramsey served him ? Poor boy! he lost his money on the street, and then she left. him and married Conrtland. Then poor Van broke down, and fa- ther sent him abroad,- and its cheap- er living there, you know. Father allowsâ€"” Three hundred and thirty-one girls and women presented themselves at her room during the next four days. Ten per cent. of them knew their business at least fairly well; ninety per cent. were totally ignorant of the whole subject. After much dis- cussion a girl who had a first-class talent for doing exactly as she was selected, and in a new room on West Fourteenth street the tWO set up a larger and more convenient estab- lishment. The girl kept the books and the mistress shopped for a pro- fession. The weeks grew to month and the winter came. Mademoiselle Isolena constantly spread her adver- tisement before the rural public, and the fame of her bargains filled the feminine mind with admiration.- She slowly and surely prospered, and tried to think herself happy, and failed. The paper slid from her hand, and for an hour or more she dreamed of the happy might have been. How the had misjudged him. And he was gone? V There was a sudden knock, loud and jolly. The mistress said “ Come in," and a big fellow entered, breath- less and rosy with excitementâ€"and something else. The two women were for a moment silent with astonâ€" ishment. Isolena found her tongue first. “ Bother ‘ grandmother!” replied Frederick. “ Say, sister, couldn’t you just run home, and tell them I’m returned ? You can take the carriage at the door. “ Frederick Lorbcrry Van Stupen, I am amazed. I cannot listen to such language. Grandmother Van St-upen will never forgive you.” “ I will at once, for I am grieved beyond expression, and 1‘ must con- sult my parents“ “ Oh, Nan I” said the two, with a different tone to the “ Van,” and the “ oh.” “ 1'm cured, Isolena. I have out the parental apron-string, and defied Madison Square. I haven’t a cent in the world, but I’m going to work like â€"-Iike a. man. Know anybody who has-a spare job ?” “ Van.” “ Isolena I Patty ! Dear girls, how are you both ?” He offered a hand to each. “ How you surprised us ! When did you return ?” “ One hour since. I bought a IIer- add and read the dear girl’s ad., and here I came.” Any one passing along Howard street just before noon yesterday,, would have seen him lying under one the shade trees in his yard, a. pillow under his head, his feet on a bench; and a magazine in his hands. He looked the picture of comfort and contentment, and the women who were going along with pull-back dresses on sighed, and wished they were men. - - The great City Hall bell struck the hour of noon. The deep-toned echo floated out on the still summer air, and touched a tender chord in the HOWin‘d Street man’s heart. The echoes sounded to him like funér‘al‘ whispersâ€"~like the whispers of the night wind sighing through the grand old Wilderness. ' “ 0h, solemn bell I” he said. V "Oh! sad solemn bellâ€"” ‘ - 'That was all he said about the bell. A bumble bee settled down on him. to look for sugar, and. as he turned over he gave the bee a rub. It is a bad thing to rub any kind of a bee.
