A WOMAN'S BUSINESS SUCCESS.

An immense business success lias been reached by the proprietress of the largest and most respected German daily paper in New York. The lady was left a widow with six small children, and a little newspaper which she desired to sell. Only 500 dols. was the largest sum offered for it. Hoping to find a more generous purchaser later on, she persuaded its editor to remain as its head for a short time, hut no one wanted the little journal. Its editor was a clever writer and a judicious selector of news, and month by month the popularity of the little sheet grew and grew, and at last, after a year or two, she relinquished the plan of parting with, it at all. She married the editor, but she always kept the business of the publication under her own care, learning by each experience how to purchase paper with, more intelligence, employ work-people, manage money, and yet find time to watch over and direct the education of her boys and girls. After a lime she became rich, fell into the habit of driving down to her handsome and retired office daily at ten o'clock, to return again at three o'clock in the afternoon to an elegant home, from which her accomplished daughters were happily married, and from ■which her honored sons went forth to homes of their own. She has erected with her earnings one of the handsomest buildings in New York. She recently gave 50,000 dols. to an old ladies' home (G-erman) and during all these yeare of prosperous toil she has never been persecuted or oppressed by men. Indeed, they have not even desired to rise in her path or stand in her way, and she has never ceased to be a lady of high, breeding and sweet, womanly sympathies. Der Bloats-Zeitmm is the leading German newspaper, and Der Zeituvr/ building is a most beautiful monument of woman's capacity to do the very best bread-winning work in the ■world, provided she gives her mind, heart and enthusiasm to its accomplishment. This tender mother, who must needs provide for her young, wrought with such materials as she had within reach, and she never cried out to the world to ask if she might.
