Parson Newman, 5n New York, Inst
"Sunday prc.iclicd about young Witnl,
whom ho vishol at Ludlow street jail a
day or two previous. Tlio parsou rolled
Ward into a bunch with two other slip
pcry young financiers whom ho seemed
to have known pretty well. Tho parson
refused to clvc names, but his descrip
tion of Wnru tallied so well with tliat
given by General Grant, that all in the
congregation recognized it at once. Tho
rtarson put his observations on paper last
Sunday, departing from his usual custom
Bf talking away without any notes at all.
Ho read
"Tlirco panics have been caused by
thrco 5 mini; men. two of whom were lct
.1 . . i . .
llltin on yciira in iiffi:. juu-u mis uiu eun
of a minister, who lind forgotten tlicGotl
of Jds father. One was a banker, one n
broker, and one a confidential clerk. Two
dial homeless and icnnilcss in self-exile
mid one is now in tail. Two died in
misery, and the fate of the third is yet to
come. Kach hail a genius for finance.
At tho age of -'I one of these smart young
men was tlio president of a bank. lie
was a financial prodigy, and the bank
wasu success. Ills personal speculations
brought hjm large returns. 1'ho vener
able tllrcitrrs encouraged him in Ids
career. Ho was esteemed a wonder in
tlio financial world; but his aged father,
a retired clergyman, trembled for the
future of his son. AVIicn the young
1 anker had accumulated $00,000, the
father begged him to be content and stop,
bi.t the bon was sure that he could make
n million. Temptations multiplied, hon
esty was suspended, the golden bubble
'.burst, detection followed, and then ad
xersiiy came, and lie lied from home,
friends and country, iiti'l died penniless
in a strange laud. 1 lis life story, with a
few circumstantial variations, is the story
of the life of the confidential clerk. The
final story of tho oncViif jail is yet to be
iold. Let us beware .of tliesc financial
prodigies these smart young men. Their
imaginations are their master faculties.
Listening to theirglib,'pcrsmibive tongue,
the Iiilso seems trueand the fictitious
real. To them tho money market is a
multiplication table. llillv at their com
mand. They are pcttedj courted, feasted
and trusted, and the oldest financiers
confide their fortunes Jo them. They
handle millions and their methods arc
not questioned. Why 1 Their dividends
are tacts. Therefore, ask no niicstious
for coii'scicnco sake! linVytlicy become
audacious with success, thescVliartyoung
men, and when fortune lunik the 'other
way they commit their first indiscretion.
Deception becomes their devil They
betray confidence, outrage honest and
fall back on fraud. Then lhcir"J)lack
1' ridav comc3. The sheriiTs nrrckVand
tho dungeon awaits them. Heboid "the
terrible results that overwhelm tlieai'
smart young men these financial iinxli
cies! They have sunk other people's
fortunes in a bottomless pit a fit type of
hell. Tlio widow's stall' is broken, the
' orphan's heritage is wasted, tho compet
ency ot the retired merchant is swallow
cd up. Thcso smart young men have
dealt a deadly blow to trade. The recent
exposure of one of these vouns prodieiea
has caused an estimated losnfli Sj100,OUO,
000 by tho shrinkage of stocks and secu
rities. In tlirco years they have inflicted
a loss oi fuu,DUU.uuu upon business
more than the whole of our national
debt." (!!)
After this flight, the parson unlocked
his fingers and, tramping about the horse
shoe pulpit, impressively said
" Jlttt thcro is something better for
men to live for than these swiftly made
immenso fortunes. There is home and
wife and children, an honest name, an
enduring character, and thcsiniloof God,
which will make life one perpetual sum
mer, liu lurtli, young man, and mum
plv wealth, but get it ami use it so that
you shall die a benefactor to your race,
1 hat man is damned, ami dai'-ned for
ever, who amasses money simplv to L't-.tt
ify bclfish ambition, lust and pride, and
he deserves to be damned in this world
and the next. The rich benefactor will
bo welcomed in heaven by the applause

Recent events seem to have demon
stratod that considering its size, tbero is
more speculation goiog ou here at the

true of speculation in n small way.

to increase their little incomo by some
lucky bit is not always withstood aud
tbe victims who are 'bitten'' at an
