We should look to these things, and remove all temptations pos sible out of the wuy, and throw all the safeguards known to human wisdom arnand their, that we may expect a high rr degree of moral culture than we now have.

A large part of the unavailable assets of the broken Planters’ and Mechanics Bunk of Petersburg, Va., consists of urges given by the leaders of the lie adjusters.

A BAU STOItV. Shannon is a quiet little village in Pennsylvania. Thteo years ago among its inhabit ants were the families ol William llammersly and Peter Klein, both much respected. llammersly’s family consisted of his wife and two children. Klein had a wife and three children, the youngest being a baby girl eight months old. The two families were on terms of intimacy. Klein kept a (tnal| shoe store, ami llammersly was a lawyer. One morning Hati mcrsly and Mrs. Klein eloped, taking Mrs. Klein’s youngest child. llammersly had collected all the money I.e could and had raised several hundred dollars more by mortgaging his home. Mrs. llammersly was completely prostrated by the blow nnd fpr u time her lilo was despaired of. She finally re covered and secured employment by which to support herself and hcrchildren. The strain was too much and she again sank. When she recotered she was entirely destitute and her health was gone. Having no friends she and her children were removed to the Allegheny Infirmary at Pittsburg, where she yet rjmaiits. During these years Klein has sought everywhere for his wife in order to recover his babe to which he was pas sionately devoted. In his search he has spent nearly all his money, and has traveled thousands of miles. He had about given up the search when fate threw the couple in his way. About August Ist a letter addressed to Mrs. Hummersly was received at Shannon, it was forwarded to her at the Allegheny Infirmary. The letter was from Hatn tucrsly, and in it he begged his wife to forgive him, and asked her to again live with him. IlcappointeJ ar. out of the way place in Pennsylvania for their meeting, which was fixed lor August 16th. An attendant at! the Infirmary, who was cognizant of the woman's history, came into possession of the letter, ot its con tents, and at once informed Klein. '1 be letter was postmarked at Anderson, West Virginia, and was signed ‘A. W. Yates.’ Klein at onee started for the town. At this place ho invoked the aid of the mayor, to whom he told hi- story. The two then crossed the' river and sought “Yates.” He was found in the employ of the Anderson Fire Btiek C mi Without discovering him sell Klein ■ the man and identified him as lliu:- nicrsly. lie then went to the house in which b.is former wife resided with ilam tuersly. His appearance at the door caused the woman to faint. She quickly recovered and sprang into Kfein's arms, clinging convulsively to him. Ile in vain for some time endeavored to loosen her hold. She seemed frantic with joy, evidently thinking Klein had come to take her away. When at hist site was made to understand that lie east her off and had only cornu for the child her griel was teriiblc. She raved and pleaded, lut without avail. Finally Klein seized the child, despite the woman's cries and efforts, and carried it off. She appeared dnzad lor some time, hut at la.-t picked up Iter three months-old baby and walked hurriedly to the lactory. where ‘'Yates” was employed. On bearing her story, he turned pale and hastily quitted the office, returning with her to the house. What passed between them is unknown, hut he left alone on an evening train, carrying a small bundle. That night the woman and her babe disappeared. The matter created some excitement, but died out in a day or two. Several days later the bodies of a woman and baby were found in the woods tear Fairview, VV. Va. Not being identified they were buried. A rumor of the circumstances reached Anderson, and it was concluded that the bodies must be those of Mrs. Klein and her babe. The bodies wore exhumed and identified. It is supposed that the woman attempted to walk to Shannon and either gave out and died from exposure or com mitted suicide. -—. ♦ A gentleman rode up to n small hoy sitting en a fence in (rent of a house, and asked if ho lived there. “I try to,” was the reply. ‘'Well, my boy, I want to know what timo it is; can you tell me?” “Yes, I kin; l was in the house jist five minutes ago, and the old clock was pint ing at 11.” “What kind of time do you have?” “Oh, we have all kinds. ” “But I mean do you have standard lime or solar time?” “That's what l said, we have all kinds." "I don't understand you.” Don’t yer? Well, come to our house and live a while, and ycr‘ll learn. My sister Sal lias standard time, that's the clock ; I has city time, that’s the town clock; the hired girl has sun time, that's watching the shad ders; and pap aud mam has a hell of a time; that's what theyr'e doing iu there uow, and I’m sitting on tho fence till they get her regulated. By gosh, you hadn't better wait round here, if you don't want to hear something strike, and strike prot (y durned hard." The man rode away rapidly, and the boy kicked another plank off the fence.

Water front mysteries. A fat policeman of the steamboat squad, says the New York Sun, swung his club contentedly as ho stood with ooe foot ou the stringpiece of a South street pier when a young man showed him a clipping from a newspaper which re counted the finding of five dead bodies about the harbor in one day. He read it through slowly, and then said: “Good many that. Threo is a good ordinary day’s work, but then the morgue doesn’t get all.” “It doesn't? Where do they go?” “Now, understand, I don't know any thing about it official y. I don't mind telling you privately that 1 have heard that some of these river pirates devote part of the day to finding things. They have oyster tongs and they have dredges and hooks wit It which they stir up the bottom. Sometimes they bring up the bodies of people recently drowned. If a body is thin and lean it is worth $lO at some se sons of the year. Do you sup pose they are going to throw away $10? Some of the bodies wash away and out to sea for all I know. I should say that about 1,000 people are drowned in the two rivers hereabouts every year, and not ball of them are recovered.” “How does it happen that so many people as that get into the watci?” ‘’Whisky helps the most ol them in. A drunken man gravitates toward the water. Paradox that, but it’s true. Tho tide is running out now. Herritgurgie. When a steamer passes the waves splash up against the piles in a way that makes music to a man whose head is in a whirl. •Strangers in the streets get very lonesome in the crowds, and so they come down here on the piers. The water is company for them. They sit down and look over at it. The sight of the moving water increases the whirling in their brains, ana they pitch forward and disappear. None notices them. Possibly the cool air sobers sc me of them, especially at eight. They grow repentant and then a- condeot. These turn around and slip down feet first with their hands on the ttnber and their faces turned up to the -ky. Then their fingers loosen, and the last seen of them is the white face in the ■*atcr. Such people arc usually the ones pirates are looking lor, especially the girl They arc thin aud lean from starvation and worse. * Some go over by accident when sober, i saw a fellow silt ing on a pier fishing one evening lie was asleep. All at ot.ee his he and roiled over, he lost his balance, and wn he went. He could swim, but Other* are not always as lucky. Children at play and men at their work stumble and drop over. Urunki n sailors reel over. There t-> a shout and a rush that ends at the ski • of the pier. People don’t like to wet tin ir clothes. The poor fellow struggles a Lie and then three weeks later he is soon a’ the morgue. Piers should be provided with t>ike poles and life preservers and men to handle them, it least they should if these h.- are worth saving. ”1 have heard, incidentally, you know, not officially, that men ccme down on the piers at t ight in groups. \\ hen they go back they are less in number by one. That one was probably and. link. When lie is found P ere wili be possibly a penny or two in his pockets. It looks more like a suicide to leave something iu the pockets. The clothing on the man will indicate that he has seen better days. Sometimes river pirates disagree ovet the disposition or the division of the boodle. I heard once, unofficially, you know, of a pirate who sat in the stern sheets of his boat beside a companion who was suddenly plunged head first backward into the water with the small of his back on the gunwale of the boat. The pirate sat on his stomach holding the fellow's head under the water till the struggles ceased and the body became limp. Then it slid over and out of sight. A sin, pie abrasion on the back would not indicate anyth ug when the body was found three week later. The tide could, nnd usually does, throw bodies against the piers to as to tear the skin. “It is easy enough to account for the number that get in, but to tell wfe-re they came from and how they happened to get into a condition that would bring them down here, that is another thing. ’ ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
