LOSING ONES TEMPER.

| was sitting in my room one morning,
feeling all "out of sorts" about something
or other. when an orphan child, whom
had taken TO raise, came in with br, ken
tumbler in her hand, and said, while her
young face was pale aud her little lip quy-
cred
See, ma'am went to take this tum-
bier from the dresser TO get Anna drink
of water, and let it fall I"
was in fretfu humor before the child
came in, and her appearance with the brok-
en- tumbler in her hand, didn't tend to help
me to better state of mind She was sui.
fering good deal of pain in consequence
of the accident, and needed a kind word to
quiet the disturbed feeling of her heart -
But she had come to me in an unfortunate
moment.
You are a careless little girl !" said |
severely, taking the fragments of glass from
her trembling hand. ga very careless
little girl, and am dispeased with youw
said no more, but my countenance ex-
pressed even stronger rebuke than nv
words. The child fingered near me for mo-
ment and then shrunk away from the room.
/ was sorry in moment that | had permit
ted myself to speak unkindly to the little
girl, for there was no need Of my doing so,
and moreover, she had taken my words, as
could see, deeply to heart. | had made
her unhappy without a cause. The break
ing of the lumber was an accident likely
to happen to any one, and the child evident
. ly felt bad enough about what had occurred
without having any displeasure added there
to. If l was unhappy before Jane entered
my room, | was still more unhappy after
she had retired i blamed mysclfa and pited
the child, but this did not in the least mend
the matter.
In about half an hour, Jane came up
very quietly with Willy, my dear little cur
ly-haired angel-iaced boy, in her arms. He
had fallen asleep but she had with her ut
most strength, carried him up stairs. She
did not lift her eyes to mine as she entered,
but went with her burden, to the low bed
that was IN the room, where she laid him
tenderly, and then sat down with her face
turned partly away from me, and with fan
kept oil the flies and cooled his moist skin
Enough of James coun;enance was yisi-
BILE to enable me to perceive that the ex
preston was sad. And it was an unkind
word from my lips that had brought this
cloud over her young face.
30 much for permitting myself to fall
into irelfu mood" said mentally. In
future must be more watchfu over nv
state OF mind | have no right to make
others suffer from my own unhappy tenn
per-"
Jane continued to sit by Willie and fan
him and every now and then could hear
very low sigh come up, as if involuntari-
ly from her bosom. Faint as the sound was
1t smote upon my ear, and added to nv I'm.
accountable state of mind.
A friend called, and went down into the
parlor, and sat conversing there for an hour.
But all the while there was a weight upon
my feelings. tried, but in vain, to be
cheerful. | was too distinctly aware of the
fact that an indiyidual--and that a mother
less little girl-was unhappy through my
unkindness; and the consciousness was like
heavy hand upon my bosom.

WILLIAM PITT,

Pitt was tall and slim, with gloomy.
sneering expression. His language was
cold, his information monotonous, his ges-
lures passonless; yet the lucidness and
fluency of his ideas, and his logical reason
ing, illumined by sudden flashes of elo-
quence, made his abilities something extra
ordinary. l saw Pitt pretty often, as he
walked across st. James's Park, from his
house on his way to the king.
George Ill, on his side perhaps had Just
arrived from Windsor, after drinking beer
from pewter pots with the farmers of the
neighborhood he crossed the ugly court
yard of his ugly palace in dark carriage
followed by few horse guard. This was
the master of the kings of Europe as five or
SIX merchants are masters of India.
Fit, IN black coat, and brass-hlted
sword, with his hat under his arm, went up
stairs two or three steps at time; on his
way he saw only few idle emigres, and
glancing disdainfulIy at us, passed OH with
a pale face and head thrown back. This
great financier maintained no order in his
own house; he had no regular time for his
meals or his sleep. Plunged into debt,
paid nothing, and could not make up his
mind to add up bill. A valet managed
his affairs. addressed, without pleasure,
without passion, eager for power alone, he
despised honors, and would be nothing but
William Pitt. Lord Liverpool took me to
dine at his counting house in the month of
June, 1921 and on his way thither point
ed out to me the small house, where died
in poverty the son Of Lord Chatham, who
brought all Europe into his pay, and distri-
buted with his own hand all the millions of
the earth.-MemoirS Of Chdteaubriand

horses, rolled indolently by; aud we could
plainly read in his countenance, as he look
ed at the sumptuous vehicle, that he was
contrasting his own condition with that of
its more favored inmates. All, if he could
have known all, as we did There was a
helpless invalid for life on one scat of that
carriage, who would have bestowed all her
goods to feed the pDor, could she have been
insured for single year the health of the
toiIng artisan who was at that moment en-
wing her. And on another seat was a man
rich in worldly gear, who was a victim to
misanthropy, who "lietIi down and riseth
up in the bitterness of his spirit, and never
eateth with pleasure" There is a compen-
sation' even i'll this world.--Juiy Knickcr-

Resolutions Of Vermont Legisla-
ture on the subject of Slavery.

Many persons have not at hand the Jour.
nails or papers containing the above named
Resolutions. For convenient reference, and
that all may see those resolutions, we have
looked over the Journals since lS40-and
have selected the following:
BY the Legislature of 1910.
Whcrcas, domestic slavery exists in the
District of Columbia, under the express au-
thority of Congress, which at the time of
the cession of the District, re-enacted the
slave codes of Maryland and Virginia: and
whereas the sanction thus given to slavery,
and its continued liberation at the seat of
government, form manifest violation by
this nation of the first principles of Justice,
and have tendency to corrupt the moral
sense, and lower the character of the whole
people of the United States: and whereas
this nation can have no higher interest,
either before God or in the eyes of men,
than the establishing of justice and strength
enlng the just foundation of national hon
or; and whereas, slavery in the District of
Columbia, being thus national concern,
and involving national responsibility, it is
the RICH: of the State of Vermont to re-
monstrate against the common wrong, and
the degradation of national character ;
therefore,
Rcsolced, That Congress ought to exer-
else its acknowledged power in the mme-
date suppression of slavery and the slave
trade in the District of Columbia; and
whereas, by the Constitution of the United
States, Congress has power to regulate
commerce with foreign nations and between
the several States of the Union, in the ex.
ercse of which power, Congress, in the
year eighteen hundred and eight, abolished
the foreign slave trade; and whereas do
nestle slave trade, as unjustliable in prin-
cipie as the African slave trade, and scarce
ly less cruel and inhuman in practice, is
now carried on between the several States :;
therefore,
RcsOired, That the domestic slave trade
between the several States ought to be abol-
ished by Congress without delay.
Resolced, That no new State ought to
be admitted into the Union whose const-
tuition shall tolerate domestic slavery.

How Capt. Adams did it.

My father" said the General, "tod
Col. Wood one evening, that he was going
over to r the next morning, to collect
debt of Capt. Adams, and invited Col.
Wood to ride over with him. I'VE shall
get fine breakfast said the old man, and
be back by noon.'"
SO the next morning, away went my faith
er and Col. w. to collect the debt of Capt.
Adams. 1t was fine frosty morning, aud
after two hours ride they arrived at the
Captains tavern. AS they drove up, out
came the Captain, and right glad did he
seem to see my father and Col Wood.
" Walk in, gentlemen" said he" take
a seat in No. L. Hello, Sam take this
horse to the stable and rub him down well.
OF course you'll have some breakfast, gem
tlemenl Jim-kil couple of fat pulets,
and get breakfast for two--already, gem
tlemen, in half an hour"
Well, when my father and Col w. had
warmed themselves, the Col. proposed to take
a stroll about town, while my father was set
Ting with the Captain; but no sooner did
my father enter the bar-room than the Capt
began again.
" Here's nice toddy," said he "I don't
believe you have tasted better--try it,"
And sure enough, my father found it the
best gin toddy he ever did try Before he
could finish smacking his lips, the Captain
was at him again, and kept up such con-
tlnual jabberlng that my father couldn't get
his debt in edgewise
Presently in came the Col. and the bell
rang for breakfast. Every thing was neat
as new pin, fine steak, prime chickens,
fresh eggs and rare coffee, and then such
toast.
"Take it easy" said the Captain, as he
bowed in and out with the ixens. I" I'll have
the horse at the door in good time"
Breakfast ended, sure enough, there was
the horse already, and all my father and Col.
w. had to do was to jump in.
Well" said the Captain, as he gave the
reins to my father, " all right, take it gen.
tIemen-call again oon-do-pleasant ride
to you-good morning"
Now, as they drove along home, said Col.
w. to my father,
Did you get your debt paid 2"
ono" said my father. "What prime
toast"
Eyes" replied the Col "but why didn't
You get your money!"
Why" said my father the fellow bluff
ed me square off with his brown toast and
gin toddy; I'll be whipped if he gave me
chance TO ask him for it."-Spirit Of the
Times
