Saving and Spending.

Tbe curiosities of Gotham are numerous, but none excel the scenes that transpire in some of the great deposit vaults. Any fine day dozens of old, gray-haired men can be seen sitting down with their heavy boxes beside them caressing stocks and bonds, tangible evidences of wealth, and squinting with keen cat-eyes at the coupons, to find something collectable on them. Their daughters are out on Broadway and carry dogs; and their sons are off* yachting, or tossing the last bit of gossip at the clubs.. is always good to know, if only in’ passing, a charming human being; it refreshes one like flowers and -woods and dear brooks. The conscience has to do, not with fitness or expediency, or advantage, but with right and wrong.
