THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR,
BY GEOKGE MrPAIJI).
They brought Litn a dollar.
He took it, clutched it in his long skin
ny finders, Hied its sound against the bed
lost, and then gazed at it long and in
tently with his duli, leaden eyes.
That day, in the hurry cf business,
Death had sdruck him, even in the street,
lie was liurryinj: to collect the Ut
month's rent and was on the rctge of the
miserable court where his tenants herded
like beasts in their kennels ; he was there
with liia bank book in his hand when
Death laid his hand upon him.
I le was carried home to his Fplendid
mansion. Ho was laid upon a bed with
a faiin coveilet. The lawyer, (he rela
tions and the preacher were sent for. All
day long he lay without speech, moving
only his right hand, as though in the act
of counting money.
At midnight lie Fpoke.
He asked for a dollar, and they brought
one to him, and lean and aunt he sat tip
in Lis death bed and clutched it with the
grip of death.
A thaded tamp stood on a table near
the silken bed. lis light fell faintly
around the Fplendid room, where chairs
and carpets and mirrors, silken bed and
lofty ceiling, all said ooi.n ! as plainly
as hurrtrm lips tay it.
His hair and eyebrows were white, his
cheeks sunken and his Hps thin and sur
rounded by wrinkles that indicated the
passion of avarice. As he sat up in his
bed with his neck bared atxl the silken
coverlet wrapped about his lean frame,
his white hair and eyebrows contrasting
with his wasted and wrinkled face, he
looked like a ghost. And tiiere was life
in that leaden eye, and all that life was
centered on the dollar which he gripped
in his clenched list.
His wife, a pleasant faced, matronly
woman, was seateil at the foot of the bed.
His son, a young man of Iwenty-one,
dressed in the last touch of fashion, sat
by the lawyer. The lawyer sat before
the table pen in hand and gold spectacles
on Ilia nose. There was a
ment snread before him.
hugo parch-
"Do you think he will make a will?''
asked the son.
"Hardly compos vientis yet," was the
reply. "Wait. He'll be lucid after a
while."
"My dear," said the wife, "had not I
better send for a preacher "
She rose and look her dying husband
by the hand, but he did not mind. His
eyes were upon the dodar.
He was a rich man. He owned pal
aces on Walnnt and Chestnut streets, and
hovels and courts on the outskirts. He
had iron mines in this State, copper mines
oq ihc lakes somewhere, and golden inter
ests iu California ; his name was bright
upon the records of twenty banks, he
owned stocks of all kinds; he bad half a
dozen papers in his pay. .
He knew but one crime to be in debt
without the power to pay.
He knew but one virtue to get money.
That crime he had not forgiven this
virtue he had not forgotten in the long
war of thirty-five years.
To hunt down a debtor, to distress a
tenant, to turn a few additional thousands
by a sharp speculation these were the
main achievements of his life.
He was a good man ; bis flame was on
.he bilver plato upon the pew-door of a
velvet cushioned church.
He waa a benevolent roan for every
thousand dollars that he wrunz from the
tenants of his courts, or from t Le debtors
who wiithed beneath his heel, lie gave ten

he is n
As he sits on the bed of .death, with the
dollar in his clenched hand. O, holy
dollar! object of hid life-lung pursuit,
what comfort hast thou for him. now in
his pain of death ?
At let.gth the dead man revived and
dictated his will. It was strange to see
the mother and son and lawyer mutter
ing and sometimes wrangling beside
the bed of death. All the while the tes
tator clutched the dollar in his right hand.
While the will was being made the
preacher came even lie who held the
pastoral charge of the church whoe pew
doors bore saintly names 011 silver plates,
and whose seats on Sabbath day groaned
beneath I he weight of respectability, broad
cloth and satin.
He came and said his .prayer deco
rously and iu measured words bit never
once did the dying man relax his hold on
the dollar.
"Can't you rea-i me something, say
quick, don't you see I'm going?" at length
said the lich man, turning a frightened
look toward the preacher.
The preacher, whose cravat was the
whitest, took a book with golden clasps
In un a marble table. And lie read :
"Arid I say unto you it is ensier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a lich man to enter into the
Kingdom of (iod."
"Who -aid those words who who
who?" fairly shrieked the dyin man,
shaking the hand which clenched the
dollar at the preacher's head.
The preacher hastily turned over the
leaf and did not reply.
"Why did you never tell me this be
fore ? Why did jou never preach from it
as I sat in your church I Why why?"
The preacher did not reply, but turned
over another leaf. liut ttie dying man
would not be q noted.
' And it's easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle than for a lich
man to enter info the Kingdom of (iod, is
it ? Then what' to become of m ! Am
I not rich '? Wlr.it tenant did I ever
spate what debtor did I ever release ?
And you stood up Sunday alter S indav
and pieuchcd to us, and never said a
woid about t fie camel. Not a word
about the camel."
The preacher, in search of a consoling
passage, turned rapidly over the leaves,
aud, in his confusion, catno to this pas
sage, which he read :
"Gj too now, ye rich man, weep and
howl for your miseries that shall come
upon you. Your gold and silver is can
kered; and the rust of them shall be a
witness jigainst you, .and shall eat your
flesh as it weie with fire ; ye have heaped
treasures together for the last (lays. 1 Je
held the hire of the laborers who have
reaped down your fields, which is of you
kept by fraud, crielh ; and the cries of
them which have reaped are entered into
the ears of the Lord of Stbbath."
"And yet you never preached that to
me!'' shrieked the dying man.
The preacher who had blundered thro'
the passagu from .James, which we have
quoted, knew not what to say. Ho was
perchance terrified by the very look of the
dying pati.-liioner.
Then the w ife drew near and strove to
comfort him, and the sou (who had been
reading the will) attempted a word or two
of consolation.
ljut with the dollar in his hand lie
sank into death, talking of stock, of rent,
of copper mines and camel, of tenant and
debtor, tv.itil the breath left his lips.
Thus he died.
When he was cold, the preacher rose
and asked the lawyer whether the de
ceased had left anything to such and such
charitable society which had been en
grafted upon the preacher's church.
And the w ife closed his eyes and tried
to wrench the dollar from his hand, but
in vain. lie clutched it as though it were
the onl- savior to light him through the
darkness of eternity.
And the son sat down with dry eyes
and thought of the hundreds of thousands
that were now his own.
Next day there was a hearse followed
by n train of carriages nearly half a mile
in length. There- was a great crowd
around an open grave, and an elegant
sermon upon the virtues of the deceased
hy the preacher. There was a fluttering
of crape badges, and rolling of carriages,
and no tears. They left the dead man
and returned to the palace, where sorrow
died even as the crape was taken from the
door-knob."
And in the grave the dead hand still
clutched the dollar.
A Tkurible FiejiiT. A shoemaker
was standing behind his counter one day
lust week, when ia stepped a man, appar
ently of the vpprr class, who inquired if
boots were sold there. Mr. Foot replied
in the affirmative, and was about to show
him some, when he saw the stranger lift
something from the counter and flip it into
his pocket. Mr. F. immediately shut the
door and had him treed. fie accused the
man of theft, and in return received a
writ over the eye from him. Mr. F. then
used a raw hid?, on him, and the man
drew a knife. They pyjd away at each
other riyht and left and it peanm strange
that in the fracas Mr. F. did not get rip-
ppd open. The conteM waxed warm, but j
at laxt. it was nut sin end t" by the en- j

Then there's the economical boarding

and so the ecomcmical landlady finds no
troublo in tilling her dozen cane scat chairs.
I Jut tjiey can't get enough to eat, and their
days being wholly spent in looking for
ward to meabtimes, they soon get that
hollow, wistful stare peculiar to people
w ho read continued stories.
In an economical boarding-bouse you
pay your money, but you don't get your
choice. The one kind of meat which
constitute? the banquet is brought on
wilh a solemn air by a young daughter
w ho is kept out of school for the purpose,
and who, by close application to busisess,
has succeeded in outgrowing her clothes
on two meals a day, for all she lias for
dinner is llu satisfaction of slanhnr ba
hind the boarders when they tire eating,
and going through the motions, even to
swallowing I never knew any body to
grow very fat that way.
You never see the landlady except
when your bill is due, without you hap
pen to ask for more, in which case she
can be seen glaring at jou with a revenge
ful expression, through a little trap-door
contrivance in the wall, and, if a man is
any ways modest, he will eat what is set
before him with a sort of tranquil resigna
tion which is touching to witness, for lie
knows how utterly hopeless it is to hanker
for more. It is pretty hard to leave a
place of this kind, for she waylays you
in the en'ry, and makes you pay in ad
vance, and you can't get away from her
any mote than jou can from a woman
wln is determined to marry you.
Then there's the regular out-and-out
hash-mill anil fish-ball factory, where
they've got a patent for five kinds of dys
pepsia, and guarantee you a fresh crop of
boils every six weeks, copyright secured.
It s a good plan for four or live fellows
who want to board at this sort of a place
to chip in ami buy a dog. lie's good to
try on a mince-pic, er hashed meat. If
he swallows it smart atid chipper, and
wants more, yon can go on and eat any
tiling you want ; but if he. goes and lays
down in a corner and howls dismally,
vou'd better eat clear bread arid nofafnes
One peculiarity about this house is that
... - i
it's never full. Like a horse car, where
the fiendish conductor tells you to "move
forward,'' there's always room for more.
There's always a brigade cf veteran re
serves laying round on the doorstop and
banisters, ica ly to make a rush for tire
first vacant chair ; and it's a curious fact
that the big fellows always gel tho seats.
The small men, somehow, are kept wait
ing. The waiter girls never smile, but
move round witn a sort of helpless, be
numbed air as if they had gravy on their
mind all the time, and they speak in very
bass voices, and somehow or other, after
they've been in a place a good while, they
all look alike. I don't pretend to account j
for it Scientifically, but I imagine that,

I never saw so much business done in so
short a time anywhere else. Those fel
lows who have an early breakfast in the
country, for instance, are in an elegant
condilion when it comes dinner-time t3
annihilate any thing short of an ox, with
vere tables to match, and they go at it as
if they were sent into the world for the
they
sole purpose eif breeding a famine. They
take the whole three courses as one mat
ter of course, and it remind one vividlv
of "The charge of the Light Urigade."
