Making a Fortune. —o— Samuel McFadden was a watchman in a hank. He was poor, but honest,. and his life was without reproach. The trosib . - le with him was that he felt ho was not appreciated. His salary was only four dollars a week, and when he asked to have it mint _the Presidetit;CashieiVind Board of , Nregtors glared at him through their speCtacles,.ane frowned on him, end told him to go out and stop his insolence, when he knew business was dull, and the bank could not meet its expenses now, let alone lavishing one dollar on such a miserable worm as Samuel McFadden.— And then Samuel McFadden felt depress ed, sad and the haughty scorn of the President and Cashier cut him to the seal. He would often 'go out into the side-yard and bow his venerable twenty four • inch bead, rind weep gallons and gallons of tears over his insignificance, and pray that ho might be made worthy of the Cashier's and President's polite at tention. One night a happy though struck him ; a gleam of light burst upon him; and gazing down Vie dim vista of years with his eyes all blinded with joyous tears, he saw himself rich and respeo ed. &Sam uel McFadden foaled around and got a jimmy, a monkey•wrench, a cross-cnt saw, a colechisel, a drill, and about a ton of gunpowder; and nitro-glycerine,and those things. Then in the-dead of night, he went to the fire-proof safe, and after working at it for a while, burst the door andhrick into an immortal smash, with such perfect success that there was not enough of that sale left to make a carpet taCk. Mr. McFadden then proceeded to load up with coupons, greenbacks, cur rency, and spetie, atueto nail all the odd change that was lying anywhere, so that he pranced out of the bank with over a million dollars on him. Ho then retired to an nnsurmising residence out of town and then sent word to thedetectivea where be was. A detective called on him the next day with a soothing note from the cashier.— McFadden trotted it with lofty scorn.— Detectives called on him every day with humble notes, from the President, Cash• ier, and Board of Directors. At last the bank officers got up a magnificient pri vate supper, to which Mr. McFadden was invited. Ho came, and as the bank offi cers bowed down in the dust before him, he pondered well over the bitter past, and his soul was filled with exultation. Before he drove away in his carriage that night, it was all fixed that Mr. 31c- Fadden was to keep half a million of that money, and to be unmolested if ho re turned the other half. He fulfilled his contract like an honest man, but refused, with haughty disdain, the offer or the Cashire, to marry his daughter. Mac is now honored and respected. He moves in the best society ; he browses an and in purple and fine linen and other good clothes, and enjoys himself first rate. And often now he takes hidinnint son on his knee, and tells him of his early life, and instils principles into the child's mind,and shows him how,by industry and perseverance And frugality and nitro- glycerine and monkey-wrenches and cross cut saws and familiarity with the detective system, the poor' may rise to affluence and responsibility.—Mark Twain. - Widow Smith's Receipt. —o— Smith is an old lady addicted to making "bulls," and is of a piece with the good woman who poured out the coffee to feast upon the grounds. It was a blunder, something of this eharactPr, the had just committed, for which she has comp to an swer at the police office. The cause of the hubbub had occurred in the post office, New York, where the clerk, whose duty it was to attend to pre paid letters, was suddenly accosted by is woman who rushed in in great trepida tion. This woman was the widow Smith. "Sir," she exclaimed in a voice tremb ling with anger "how does it happen, I should like to know, that when one has prepaid the postage on a letter, the person to whom it is sent is made to pay for it a An." "How it happens, madam ?" cried the clerk, "why, it don't happen at all." , "Well, I say it dons, it happened to-day —Viers !" "And I tell yon ag.sin that it is impossi ble that it should be so." "But it is a .person of my acquaint ance to whom I. wrote yesterday, and whose letter I prepaid, who says she had to pay for it, too. She was furious about it, and I don't wonder she was; for I wrote to her concerning my own affairs and she had to pay the postage. It's down right robbery, I say." And thereupon the widow kicked up such a rumpus that it was found to be necessary to call; n a policeman and take her before the magtstrate. Instead of pacifying Mrs. Smith, this proceeding nearly threw her into the last degree of exasperation. Althoug the officer re quested her to assume a proper line of conduct, the widow persisted in her fury and stamped and screamed most uproari ously. "To be told, t 1 that I don't know what I have done wit it!" she cried. "Done with at?" inquired'the mag istrate. "The receipt," 'answered the widow; "the receipts which proves that I pre paid the letter." So saying, she fum bled in all her pockets. "There rtahe exclaimed, suddenly," Pre got it ! Itere it is !" And she exhibited it triumphantly to the magistrate—what can 'von imagine it was ?—a postage stamp ! the poor lady bad taken it as a receipt for the money she.had paid to the clerk, and had treas ured it sacredly instead of passing it on the letter!
