The truth ,-.f t',o old saying that fort- nno favors thosj who wait has agr.i!i oecn il.ustrated in tho case of La) Wick- land, an old man 03 years of age, and an employe of the Illinois Central railroad at McConnell, some fifty miles north of Milan, Tenn. The story reads like a There resided in tho city of Aberdeen, Scotland, seventeen years ago a rich and prosperous jeweler," Mr. Lai- land Wickham, a man of family, which consisted of himself, his wife, three sons and three daughters. The name of the eldest son was John, and he was engaged to a young ladv of his native city by the name of Craig, one of the foremost of the beautiful Scotch maidens of Aberdeen. Their marriage was only deferred on arconntof some business transactions. One day Wickland burst into his wife's room, greatly agitated, and exclaimed: “Mary, we are ruined-utterly ruined! pie shop has been broken into and at least £12,(100 worth of plate anil jowelry carried off. I have been with tho de tectives through all the holes in the city but we found no tface of the thief or of the goods. The detectives think the goods will never be discovered, nnd we are mined if it is so." When this rob bery occurred John Wickland was in London, nnd he read tho news in a Lon don newspaper. Ho hurried home and fonnd the family in the greatest distress. SEEK INQ A NEW FORTUNE. For many days the Wicklands indulged themselves in tho hope that some clew would lie found to tlte robbers and their precious woalth bo restored to them. These hopes wore never realized. Tile robbery, as the police said, had been cleverly nnd cleanly done. No trace of tho perpetrators or any part of tho prop- erty was over discovered. In the meantime Wickland had pnid all his outstanding debts, and found hirajelf a pauper without» sixpence. He might hnve urged the robbery as a plea for bankruptcy, but he was too conscien tious ever to think of such a course, so he paid his debts to tho lost penny. The utter rain which had overtaken tho Wicklands postponed the proposed union between John and Miss Craig, and Mr. Wickland struggled on for a few years, his son John assisting him all the while, but they could not even make a living. It seemed that fate was against him. About this time thousands of people were leaving tho ,ld countries of Europe and heading for America. Mr. Wick land caught the emigration fever nnd longed to come to this country. lie sold all his personal effects, and securing steerage passage for his family landed in filched is the voice that held our heart* en- thralled— Bashed ere life's wine on those glad lire bed palled; Bashed in Its ioyous prime, while irnphle* sweet Still breathed their fragrance at the alnger’s feet— And she whosnng “The Last Rose” o’ r nod o’er Sinco Ilret her girlish huurts non-; * scepter IJnkiug It with her nerne from shore to shore.

I1AI-PIKESS AT LAST. For years they have battled with diffi culties. Dtiringall this time John and Miss Craig kept np correspondence until in Noveraliet, 1800, Miss Craig was agreeably surprised at the sadden and unexpected appearance in his native city of John Wickland, who bore the joyful intelligence that hi* family, their fortune restored, would soon bo in theirold home. How was it? This happy termination came out in this wise: A man named Johnson located himself at McConnell as a merchant, rnnuing a plantation and supply store. His wealth in ready money was tho talk of the town. He sold goods rapidly and made money hand over fist. He took great interest in the Wicklands and seemed to evinco especial interest in the facta relating to their robbery and ntter rnin. It finally came ont that Johnaon had been a prison bird and the cold shoulder was tnrned to him by Lacy Wickland, to whom he was paying at tention. This seemed to nettle 1dm, and he sent for the old gentleman to come to him. Their interview lasted two hours. At length Johnson confessed that it was he who had robbed Wickland of his health, and coming to this country had trebled his possessions. Ho gave the old man his check for $50,000. So soon as this happened the Wicklands decided to re turn to their native land. When John son heard of their determination he in sisted on paying their passage back to Scotland. The strangest feature of the affair waa that Johnson immediately sold out all his belongings and went back to Scot land a month after the family of Wick land had returned, and a letter from him to a friend announcing his marriage to Miss Lucy Wickland, eldest daughter of the man whom he had robbed, has been received.—SL Lonis Globe-Democrat Scadmodel, Trivialities. It is not always easy In any sphere to discriminate between the trifling ami the momentous. It is often n matter of com parison, and judgment ami experience are needed in the selection. Trifles are not-to lw confounded with details, which are often most important Neither are things necessarily trifling beennse they are small. A kind look, a gentle warn ing, a cordial greeting, a slight service- are sometimes despised as trifles, whet: in truth they are signs of a generous ami kindly nature, and carry untold blessings to their recipients. Many little things are tar more im portant than what we uiisHca!! great ones: they may indeed be tho true reali ties, while the others may be insignifl- cant. if each one will faithfully examine the meanings nnd pnritoses of thevarions spheres in which he moves, and endeavor conscientiously to make them flrst in his heart and lire, the trifles will sink inio their proper and sntmrdiuate place.- New York Ledger.
