Daniel Draw, the great stock-gambler, is
sick, and probably will go hence befére
long. He gave, last year, over $100,000 Ito
Mrthodist seminaries and churches, and as
mural-set gave the bar privileges on- all his

gentleman—he has whipped-everything that
ever stood beforchim, bht'h'e ‘tvill .find his;
match in grim Death. And then what will
become of his property? ~WhIere, thep,1vill
be his railroads, "steambotitsvaud stocks?
Drewis estimated.at'$15,000i000, which: is
quite enough to' ruin all his children. -
‘ Commodore Vanderbilt, a. greater than
Drew, has had his affairs in readiness for a
sudden departure these two years. The old
gentleman is hale and hearty, but he has had
a number of very Close calls. The public
are never permitted to know when these men
are sick. If Vanderbilt should die,,the thst
interests he controls would ~be5so demoraliicd
that no one could foresee the end. A rumor
that he is ill sends his stocks down ten per
cent. in a minute, and its authoritative con-
tradictlon restores it just as quickly. He
cannot last long, however, and when he does
go under there'will be such a smash such as
the countrynever saw. He has taken advan-
tage of this fact to manipulate the market
himself. Occasionally more of the stocks of
his various roads have gone out of his hands

let it leak out that he as ill. His brokers
would step in when they were down and buy
up as much as he needed for his purposes,
when the old gentleman would appear on the
street as smiling as ever. A very talented old
man is Cornelius. 5
TRAMPS AND VAGRANTS. . l ‘
The country is infested with tramps and
vagrants, and as the city enjoys the presence
of four times as many as usual, the question
is where do they come from ? Never in the
history. of New York were there so many as
now. The streets are full of beggars, who
pester you at every turn with their importu-
allies, and the back areas are .crowded With
them. Some few make a show of somok'ind
of business, but as a rule that pretext is not
observed, but. they come at you with a béld,
and, generallyfimpudent demand for charity.
If you give, what you give is converted into
rum in the shortest possible time, and then
the station-house furnishes a lodging for the
vagrant. The taxes the city pays for these
vii-me .1 is something enormous. There are
over 50,000 professional beggars and thie'Ives
in the city, and when the semi-thieves, those
who live unlawfully, but manage to keep but
of the hands of the law, is added, the sium
total is something awful to contemplate. S It
is a pity that some plan for compelling those
sturdy villians to earn theirgwn living cohld
~not be devised. The attention of the pub:
lie is being called to it, and doubtless :the;
Legislature will give the city the relidf it so
much needs“ If they could only be arrested
and compelled to work on the public works,
or on the streets, it would be an immense sav-
ing to the city, and 'would do away with a
nuisance that has grown *into vast proportions
and is daily ~increasing. 'Mendi'cancy is '_ so
much easier here than in Europe that thous
ands come here to ply theirIvocat-ion.-, Every
steamer and'every sail-vessel as well, brings
its assortment of thieves and vagrants, to
reinforce our native product. Congress will
be petitioned this winter to take some steps
to prevent New York being made I the recep—
tacle of the crime and pauperism of the .old
world. But whether it can be done is doubt-
ful. There is no doubt but that something
ought to be done, for the nuisance is well-
nigh unbearable. . i ' .
x'.\' WALL srpaar. .. ‘
Wall street is as old as" the city, but its
habitues are not so ancient. The average
‘ stay of a man in that'street is very brief.
He may make a great deal of money one
year, but he is morally certain to lose it the
next, and ninety per cent. of" them go out
poor. The oldest man in the street has only
been there twenty-seven years, and he has
stayed that length of time by doing a strictly
commission business, _'and never taking a
risk. The ofllcc this «man now occupies he
paid $150 per year for at the beginning of his
career. Now, he is paying $4,500 for the
same premises. He has one building that he
rents for more money each year than the
premises cost him—fifteenvyears ago. The
majority of the nie‘n o'u' tb'estreet' are young,
twentyloue to thirty being tbcage's of 'three-
fourths Of them. A man‘can’t live long in
that street, for the life is 5 one of too much
excitement. Itis the wildest form of gamb-
ling known, for there ‘is no cessation or re-
lieIf.I Ithn the speculator has put his all on
a certain stock it may take a week for the
result to be known, and that week he carries
around with him a load of anxiety. It is
with him'at his meals, it walks beside him
and sleeps with him, or rather won’t let him
sleep. He has his all staked on events which
he cannot control, and be haslto simply wait
-n suspense till the matter is decided for or
against him. Of course to crary this load§he in-
variably resorts to stimulants, and the upshot
of the mater is, an early death-bed, and seldom
a very pleasant one. But the places of those
who drop out arefilled by a new stock, and
the game igde’s'on' foreviar. The business is
pure gambling—Wall street doesn’t earn a
dollar orIproduce one. It is simply wager-
ing money that stocks will go up or down,
and in most cases the money wagered belongs
to some one else. :11. lie that will influence a
stock is considered virtuous, and perjury is
not discreditablc unless it‘ fails to produce
the desired cfi'ect. In brief, if there is a sin
that has not been adopted in Wall street, you
may be sure it is only because it could not be
utilized.

The crowds that gosto hear Moodymid
Sankey at the Hippodrome are wonderful.
There seems to be a good many Christians
left in the city yet, for the vast audiences are
still mainly composed of them.
The .idea of the Evangelists is to work for
a revival among the churches first, so that
their members will be prepared to helpIiu
the .work of reaching sinners. Those who
scoff are those who stay away, for it is im-
possible to put one-self under the influence of
the meetings and not be affected. The quiet
in which the multitudes drift into their seats, .
the silence of prayer, the singing of thous-
ands, hushed and "full of feeling, felt rather
than heard, sometimes 'stir the most unim-
pressible. Whether they will accomplish
any pennanent good is questionable—that
they succeed in producing an intense , feeling
Ifol‘llw time there can be no doubt. Their
audiences increase in number every meeting,
and it could be kept up forever. 0 Prsrno.

- '- Dick? THE; RAT.
The Ways of Rat Catching.
nu. 'roxsn rams now as: Doss lT—AND low
as MAKE.) A uvmc BY HIE-A SAMPLE or
now an WORKS A norm.
With one arm resting on the" counter of a
saloon in the Bowery, and the unengaged
hand holding a. glass of whiskey, Mr. Ribbard ~'
Toner, better known as; “ Dick, the Bat,"
explained to a Times reporter» the mysteries
of professional ratIcatching. Mr. Toner is a
slim, clean-shaved young man, with sharp
black eyes and a ruddy complexion. ;He af-
fects a. pronounced style of dress, wears
widssouled shoes and is known as a. clever
dancer. Originally a butcher boy in Oaths;
rine market, he had ampletime for studying
the domestic habits of the animal against
whom he wagessucb unceasing and success-
ful war, and whose capture .afiords him a’
very comfortable living- He becomes hob-II
itue of “The BandBox,” [a crib in” Water
street, then kept by the notoriou Christo-
pher Keyburn, alias Kit Burns, and was a.
constant patron of the rathaits and dog fights
almost nightly produced there for theI‘delect-
ation of the “sporting" classess. Indeed.
Mr. Toner’s predilection for this species of
amusement carried him to form an intimate
acquaintance with the architectural structure
and strength of the Oak street station house,
on occasions when the B'andbox was raided
ouby Mr. Henry Bergb. Afterthe death of
Kit Burns, IMr. Toner married Kit’sdaughterI
Miry‘,‘ and $61! a time carried fon"3tlie buiinIcss
of his father-in-law, but finding it unremuner-
ative, returned to his former and more profit-
able pursuit of rat-catching. travels all
over the state, filling engagemen sin the prin-
cipal cities. _ .
‘5' “ To begin with," said Mr. Toner, .“rats is
no good. I mean they won’t try to escape if
you know how to catch them. But that’s
where the business comes in. If you. see a rat
in the cellar, you may chase him for five
minutes,.and unl as you happen to hit him
with a brick yo ever catch‘him. I’d have
him bagged in ha the time, It’s all in the
way in which it’s done!“
“ Are there any others in the same business,
beside you?’ '
"' Oh, yes," replied Toner _; " There’s one
in Chicago,'one in San Francisco. one in Bal-
timore, one in Detroit, and two in Philadel-
phia. But they never interfere with me or
my partner, John Cassidy.- We go all over.”
“How did you come to go into the busi-
ness ?’3
“ I saw Jack Jennings, one night, catching
rats, and I thought if he was able to catch
them I ought to be. So I went in and did it.
At that time you always caught the rats with
your hands. Rat bites is poisonous. A rat
that feeds in a corn warehouse isn’t poisonous,
:but you'can get a bite from one of them fel-
ilers what feeds onrhotel swill o} .; slaughter-
house garbage, and you’re sure to catch it. I
got bitten by a slaughter house feller once,
and my arm swelled out until I was afraid it
would have to be cutoff. But the doctor fix-
edit all right. After that Iintroducedtbc-
use of tongs. Joh'n Cassidy, says I ought to‘
have that idea patented.” '
At this point the conversation was inter;
rupted for a few moments by the bar-tender
persduding a dilapidated sporting-manta pay
for some liquor he had ordered and partaken
of. This having been accomplished, Mr. To-
ner resumed his discourse on the character
and capture of rats. Takings stout canvas
bag from under the table, he produced an or-
dinary pair of tongs. “ This,” said Mr. Tc-
ner, “is what I catch them‘witb. You see I
have the inside of the end _of these tongs made
like a rasp. Now, there’s another improve-
ment of mine. If you have an ordinary pair
of tongs, and grab a stout rat by the tail,
he’ll wriggle away, but. if ye catch him with;
these he’s bound to go in the hole.”
“ Vhat else do you use, Mr. Toner ?”
“ Well, only a dark lantern and a bag,
Sometimes I sprinkle stuff on the floor to
’make them come out of their holes. The
stufi is a trade secret and attracts the rats by
its smell. It’s the same as flies and molas-
ses.” .
.“Where do you catch the most rats 2"
“ Slaughter houses and granaries. I often
make a good bag in hotels. One night I got
350 rats in the Astor House kitchen.”
“ How do you charge for your services?”
‘5‘. Well, me and my assistant $19885 each
every night we work and our board. And
when we work in private houses we some-
times charge $15 for every hundred rats we
catch.” f I ,
_ _“ What do you do with th; erats ?",
“ Sell them- of. course. . 1 Merchants ahd bro-
kers has fancy terriers'they want Ito‘train to
kill rats, and if there’s a rotting match comes
off we furnish the rats. Good rats is worth
$20 a hundred.” ' .
“ I suppose you have a considerable number
of customers 1'” . ,
“ Oh, nearly all the big hotels, breweries,
saloons and slaughter-houses in the state.
You see, traps and poison can’t drive them
out. Rats breed so fast thus you can’t catch
them quick enough, and if you poison them
why they die in their holes."
- “ Well, how do you catch them ?”
“ I go into the cellar or wherever the rats
are with John. He holds the bag and I take
the dark lantern and the tongs. We have
rubbers on and step light. The rats run around
and I squeak like one. Then they come close
to us, and I throw open the slide of the lan-
tern. The rats gets confused and rush .into
the light, and I grab them and put them into
the bag. When there’s no more, I go out and
leave the place be for a couple of hours, or
another day, and then I go at them again,
But the best way to know is to see me work.
Me and John is going to clean out a hotel to-
night, and if you come along you can take a
hand in. I’ll leaye here at 12 o‘clock. The
reporter accepted the proposition, and on re-
turning at midnight, found M r. Toner and
his partner in waiting. Cassidy carried the
bag and tools, and, jumping on a Broadway
car, the party were soon conveyed to their
destination, a prominent. Broadway betel.
"The night clerk, 'on‘ being informed bf'lfr.
Toner of his business, ordered him to be
shown to the servant’s hall, where the head
waiter, a couple of cooks, and several grooms
were waiting to see the rat-catchers. These
persons regarded Mr. Toner and his compon.

of the lantern and Cassidy held the bag open.

Dick, “Now yyil sec howrits done.” . _

A titled lady was present, and she :helped

brunt of the battle in the, Scriptural argu-

“ The Bible permits the use of wine,"

“ Very well," said I ; “suppose it does.”
“ The Bible sanctions the use of wine.”
“ Very well ~; suppose. it does."

“ I knowhe did."'
“ Why, we thought you were prepared to

“ I do not deny it. ' lean read.”

“ Because I don’t like it.” .
“ Very well, sir,” said I ; “our Saviour
sanctified barley bread just as much as he
ever id wine. He fed five thousand people

away barley bread from the low motive of
not liking it. I ask you to put away wine

PARSON KELLY. 5
Old Parson Kelly’s fair young wif e Irene
Died when three months wed,
And no new love has never come between
I His true heart and the dead,
Though now for sixty years the grass
grown
Upon her grave, and on its simple stone
The moss ’
And yellow lichens creep her us
093.
Outside the door, in the warm summer air,
The old man sits for hours,
The idle wind, that stirs his silver hair,
Is swegt with June’s first flowers;
But dull his mind, and clouded with the haze
Of life’s last weary, gray. November days ;
And dim
The past and the present look alike to him.
The sunny scene around, confused and blur-
red, '
The twitter of the birds.
Blend in his mind with voices long since
heard— '
Old hymns and Scripture texts ; while indis-
tinct
Yet strong, one thought with all Hir things
is linked——
The bride
Of his lost youth iszever by his side.
By its sweet weight of snowy blossoms bowed,
The rose-tree branch hangs low,
And in the sunshine, like a fleecy cloud,
Sways slowly to and fro. -
“ 011, is it you ?" the old man asks; “Irene!"
And smiles; and fancies that her face he’s
seen \
Beneath
The opening roses of a bridal wreath!
Down from the gambrel roof a white dove flits,
The sunshine on its wings,
And lighting close to where the dreamer sits,
A vision with it brings— .
A golden gleam from some long vanished day’.
“ Dear love," he calls ; then, “ Why will you
not stay ‘1”
He sighs,
For, at his voice, the bird looks up and flies 1
0b, constant heart 1 whose falling thoughts
. cling fast
To the long laid dust,
Still seeing, turned to thine, as in the past,
' Her look of perfect trust, ‘
Her soft voice hearing in the south Wind’s
breath, ' -
Dream on! Love. pure as thine shall outlive
death,
And when
The gates unfold, her eyes meet thine again !
Marion Douglas, in The Galacyfar Feb.

Mr. and Mrs. Shott.
Mr. Shott hadn’t been out of Detroit in seven
years (says The Free Press), when, the other
day, business called him to Chicago. Mrs.
Shott wanted to go along, but he said,.times
were too hard, he didn’t want to have the
bother of taking care of her, and she was
compelled to remain at home, He reached
home in the evening after two days, and as he
sat eating his supper he observed:
I
glad you didn’t go.”
“ Lonesome, was it ?" she asked. ,
“ It would have been fearful if I hadn't
have had a young lady in the seat with me,”
he replied. . ‘ "
“ What 1 ' A young lady in the seat with
you ?” ' _
“ That is-that is—you know the carwas
crowded,” be said. .
“ And you offered her half your seat 1’"
I“ I——that is, she sat down there," he stam- -
mered.
Mrs. Shott’s ears, grew red and her eyes
snapped. ‘
“ And so 11: was lonesome, was it 1” You
did n’t speak to her, I suppose,” inquired the
wife.
“ Why, Ié—I spoke once or twice, of
course.” .
“ Nice young lady, I suppose 1?",
“ Well, no ; I can’t say as she was.”
“ And there you sat and looked your sweet-
est, and I’ll bet you passed yourself off as a
single man.”
, “ I don’t know as I did,” he replied, as he
drank his tea.
“ Did you inform her that you were mar-
ried and had three children ?" she demanded.
“ I (fin’t remember, but I presume I did."
“ You presume you did ! Well, I presume
you didn’t. I know just how you sat up
there and pretended to be a rich widower,
and took care 'of her satchels, and bought
pop—corn and illustrated papers for her !
Mr. Shott inquired if there were any mt re
biscuit. .
and expecting to find hot biscuit for you 1”
she went on. “Why didn’t you ask if that
young lady could make biscuit ? Why
didn’t. she come home to tea with you i”
“ Nancy, don’t be so foolish,” he observed.
“ Don’t be foolish ! Who is foolish ?
Here I was, scrubbing around and baking
and patching, and breaking my back, and
you were braced up in a seat beside a young
lady, stroking those yellow whiskers and
talking about bonds and mortgages and your
lonely widower life.” '
“ I wasn’t,” be briefly observed.
“ Daniel, did that girl ride all the wily from
Chicago with you ?” asked Mrs. Shott, as
she toyed with the handle of the milk-jug.
“ Did she ‘3 Lemme see i” he mused, as
he helped himself to the butter.
“ You know she did I” shouted Mrs. Shott.
“ If she got off at any of the stations I
didn’t see her," he admitted. '
-“ And there you sat and sat, and rode and
rode, and you paid out the money we need
so much in the house, for peanuts, and pop-
corn, and judo-paste, and . picture papers 2
Daniel let me see your wallet 3"
“ My wallet 7”
“ Yes, sir, your wallet 2”
i‘ What for, Nancy ?
“ I want to see your wallet.”
“ It’s the same one I'alwayshad.”
“ You left home with $26, and I know
exactly what the trip cost. Fare to Chicago
and back $17. Hotel bill, $2. I’ll allow 81
more for incidentals, and now where is that
$6 '3”
“ I—I——!” he stammered.
“ You what ?” - '
“ I met Green down by the depot, and
lent him $4."
“ Daniel Shott, who is Greenfid where
does be live ?” - ‘
Daniel didn’t. reply. ~
“ Daniel Shott, you’ve lied to me 1" she
exclaimed. “You didn’t want to take me
along owing to the hard times. You said
I’d bother you. If I’d been along you’d
growled four times a mile about the bother
and the expense, and there you went and
bothered with a young lady and squandered ‘
$4 on her, and here I've worn those old shoes
seven months to save expense 1"
“ I’ll get you a new pair pretty soon," he
replied. "
“You will, eh! When '2"
“ Before the Fourth of July, anyhow."
. “You can squander—$4 On an unknown
girl, and make me wait four months. for shoes,
can you i"
“ What unknown girl ‘r”
“ Daniel Shott—l”
And the milk-pitcher came down on his
head, she caught him by the necktie, and
the oldest boy ran out doors and yelled '
“Fire 1” Several of the neighbors ran over,
but Mrs. Shott met them at the door and said
it was only a burning chimney. When they
asked for Mr. Shott she remarked :
“Mr. Shott doesn’t feel a bit well, and is
covered up on the lounge 1”
