.SANDUSKY COUNTY, OHIO,

Meanwhile M BOnard, who had lost the
order, was a prey to the deepest distress.
When he was thrown down by the omnibus,
he had the billet in his hand; bus the pain
lie suffered from the fall made him forget
everything and it was not till he gotout of
the cabriolet that he missed the money
He was the owner of shop, the rent of
which was due next day, and having lately
experienced heavy losses, he had no more
money to pay, for he had drawn from the
bank his last five hundred francs With
what sorrow did he look at his wife and
children! He durst not tell them his loss Il
but they soon saw that something untoward
had occurred, and at length he was Obliged
to confess the truth. "Some honest person
may yet find it." he said. -
"The will of God be donen replied his
wife. "You have been saved from an acei-
dent which might have cost your life, and
every evil seems light in comparison"
The next day, toward twelve o'clock, al
knocking was heard at the door. "Ah"I
said M. Bonard, ut is our landlord, l fear,
and there is no money to give him."
His wife with a trembling hand opened
the door; for moment her confidence in
God had failed her. 1t was not the land
lord; it was a friend who had been sent as
a forlorn hope, to the bank, and who had
there found Peter who now accompanied
him, and presented the five hundred francs
to the delighted and grateful family.
"I cannot conceal from you," said Peter,
''that had some temptation to retain the
money, and l do not deserve the applause
you bestow on my honesty"
"You do deserve them" said Madame
Bonard, "no one need be ashamed of tenn
tation overcome"
''Thank God I did overcome it" said Pc
ter. 81 should have failed had l not re-
membered, what will it profit man to-
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul {? and all the lessons of our good minis
ter came back to my mind so forcibly, that
the temptation vanished"
''Your honesty has been tried" said the
friend of Bonard, ''and I have no Hesitation
in recommending you to be a portor in the
bank where you but nowretumed the billet.
The situation is lucrative one and if you
continue to behave as you have hitherto
done your advancement is certain. DO
what is good and thy reward will not
linger.'" Ia

NYhat Pride Cosf..

An Illinois farmer writing to n Chicago
paper about the cxronse of a settler says,
'-his living viii vary accordingly to the size
of his family, and their propensity to graf
Jy pride, which IS alrays an erpensipe ar
tjcle IN aeU country" The good farmer
might have added that pride was an expen-
sive article anywhere. Certainly, if it Is so.
costly an affair on a prairie farm, it IS mono
the less costly in our great Atlantic cities,
which are full of the ruin eau cd by pride
Thousands are annually bcggared, and tens
of thousands Slaughtered in circumstances
by this same pride.
1t is pride that makes the father dress
his daughter beyond his means. 1t isPrids
that induces the mother to do the Kitchen
work, that Mary Anne may sit in the par
lor and practice music. It Is pride that
leads families to live in houses finer than
they can afford, to give snowy parties, to
waste the surplus of their income in a sum-
mer excursion. 1t is pride that has French
mirrors, French laces, French China, French
knicknackeries of every sort It is pride,
in short, that is at the root of half the ex-
travigance of the age. Truly did the wise
man say 'Pride goeth before destruetien.7
Embarrassment and ruin are Ohetpride costs.

My mother told me not to fight or chase
them, but pass on quietly, and they would
not dare to come only within certain dis
tance, needed her advice, and found it
true. They could only hiss, and after they
discovered that kissing did not trouble me,
gave it up. So with gosSips. Chase them,

and they will only hiss the louder aud chase
you the harder; but leave them to them

Nnt Fit for AnYthing Else.

Every day we hear the argument used,
that negroes are not fit for anything but
slaves. Read the following as taken from
the Washington Star, and it VIII be seen
that neither color nor education relieves
man from the claims of slavery:
"On Sunday morning, slave belonging
to Mr.. Lynham, butcher of Richmond, Va,
arrived in this city, but finding that the cars
for the north would not start for some hours,
he booked his name at one of the hotels
His complexion was so light that no one sus-
pected he was not of the Caucasian race,
and at that establishment, therefore, he en-
loved the otioap cum dignitate. But tele-
graphic dispatch had reached John Davis,
the Chief of the Police, giving an accurate
description of the runaway, mentioning,
among other things, thathe spoke the Ger
man language. He had not only attired
himself handsomely for his northern trip
but had all the belongings of traveller for
a long absence. On Sunday afternoon he
went to the cars to take passage. The
Chief of the Police, governed by the tele-
graphic description of his person, there ar
rested him, and conducted him before Justice
Hollinghead. who committed him to jail to
await the requisition of his owner. -

Standing in Thefr Own LigI,r.

Our Dry Goods and Clothing dealers
seem fully impressed with the idea that
Printers Ink IS not of much account, and
some even talk as though their trade was
sufficient without trying to extend it.
We are always afraid to deal with such
men, unless we keep one eye open! for
there is no competition, no spirit Of rivalry
among them; they seem to say: "Why,
there IS the goods and such is the price, if
you don't like them, walk on"
Commend US to the man who blows his
own horn, or pays for it, and furnishes the
community with the notice Of his arrival in
town with desirable stock, about which
we are all interested to know.
The man in trade that don't advertise is
Old Fogyish and scarcely deserves to sue
ceed.
People may affect to think that Barnum
is a humbug, but we shall see if the effect
of Printers Ink which raised him to tow
ering elevation above his fellow men IN the
minds of the people at large, viii not bring
him down again, so long as he undertakes to
run across the track of the Press.
Our Papers are our daguerreotypes sent
abroad, and we wonder how it IS that East
ern dealers will dare to sell to the man who
does not advertise, any sooner than they
would to the man who fails to keep insured.

Pretty Women.

Somebody says the following is doubtless
a correct description of pretty woman, as
one of that kinda pretty onc-requests
us to publish it:
"a pretty woman is one of the 'institu-
tions" of the country-an angel in dry goods
and glory She makes sunshine, blue-sky,
Fourth Of July and happiness wherever she
goes. Her path is one of delicious roses per-
flrme and beauty. She is a sweet poem,
written in rare curls and choice calico, and
good principles. Men stand up before her
as so many admiration points, to melt into
cream and then butter Her words float
around the ear like music, birds of Paradise,
or the chimes of the Sabbath bells. With
out her, society would loose its truest attrac-
ton, the church its frmest reliance, and
young men, the very best of comforts and
company. Her influence and generosity re-
strain the vicious, strengthen the weak, raise
the lovly, fannel-shirt the heather, and
strengthen the faint-hearted. Wherever
you find the virtuous woman, you also find
pleasant firesides, bouquets, clean clothes, Or
der, good living, gentle hearts, piety, music,
light and model constitutions" generally
She is the flower of humanity, very Venus
in dimity, and her inspiration is the breath
of Heaven"
Well, we don't know but he is right.

A Home.

If we were to tell a number of our friends
that they don't know what "home" is,
they would grow somewhat indignant, per-
haps use hard words. And yetit may be
remarked that the number of persons who
know what a genuine home is, by expert
ence, is surprisingly few. One man in good
circumstances will tell us that he has fine
house of his own, in which every comfort and
convenience are provided. He has wife
and children there also, and they give life
to the place. Very true. But docs he pre-
fer that home, thus furnished and enli-
vened, to every other place in the world >
Does he sigh when the hour for leaving
comes, and smile when he is permitted to re
turn? Does he love to sit by the cheerful
fire and fondle the children, entering into all
their little disputes with curious interest p
Does he take particular note of the birds in
the cage, and the cat near the fire? If not,
he has no home, in the dearest sense of the
word If his mind isaltogether absorbed in
the dusty ways of business-if he hurries
from the house in the morning, and is loath
to return at night-if, while he is at home,
he continues to think of the journal and the
ledger and repulse the advance of the pratt
Ting children, he has no home; he only
has a place where he lodges and takes his
meals.
All happy is he who knows and appre-
ciates the full bliss of home: whose heart
is warmed and harmonized by its cheerful
influence, and who feels how superior in pu-
ritv of pleasure are all its enjoyments to
the turmoil delight Of outdoor life Thrice
happy is such a man. He has discovered
the only paradise this world can afford. 1t
Is only such man who can have a deep
and sincere pity for the unfortunate crea-
ture who arc homeless. He regards them
as being cut off from the best influence of
the earth, and exposed to the action of all
the darker waves Of life. He feels keenly
for him who has no fireside-no dear ones
to welcome him with smiles, and prattle over
the history of the day no tongue to soothe
him when heavy cares has troubled the
mind and rendered his heart sore; and the
sympathy of such man is not slow to over
| flow in acts of boncvolenco A good home
is the source of the fountain of charity in
the heart.
Our advice to those who have no homes,
such as we have described above, is to get
them as soon as possible. They can never
be contented and substantial citizens, nor
thoroughly happy men, until they follow
this counsel Get homes. Fill them with
objects of love and endearment, and seek
there for hepure delights which the world
besides can not afford.

Sir-Let me tell you an incident | know
it to be true, for it occurred here in Zanes-

the delivery of one of his sermons, and was
brought in by the speaker by way of illus
trating a certain position then and there tax

'Mv dear friends and brethren" said he,
"de soul OBJ de brack man is as dear in the

know de Judge, niggas, and berry fine man
he is too. Well, now, Use gwine to make
a little comparisment: Suppose de Judge,
some fine mornin', puts his basket on his
arm and goes to market to buy piece of
meat. He soon finds a nice, fat piece of
mutton an goes off wid it. Do you s'pose
de Judge would stop to 'quire wedder dat

A FUNERAL THOUGHT.

BY BAYARD TAYLOR.
When the pale Genius to whose hollow tramp
Echo the startled chambers ofthe soul, . . ..
Waves his inverted torch Der that wan camp,
Where the archangel's marshaing trumpets roll,
would not meet him in the chamber dim,
flushed and o'erburdcned with a nameless fear,
When the breath iutteIs and the senses swim,
And the dread hour is neari .arr-
Though Loves dear arms might clasp me fondy then,
As if to keep the Sunlmonera ut bay,
And woInln's woe and the calm grief of men,
Hallow at last, the still, unbreathing clay .--.
These are earth fetters and the soul would shrink,
2 Thus bound from darkness and the dread Unknown
Stretching its arms from Deaths eternal brink,
Which it must dare aone
But in the awful silence of the sky,
Upon some mountain summit never trod,
Through the bright ether would climb, TO die
Afar from mortals, and alone with Godl 81
To the pure keeping Of the stainless air
Would resign my feeble, failing breath,
And with the rapture of my answered prayer,
Welcome the kiss of death.
The soul which wrestled with that doom of pain,
Prometheous-like, its lingering portion here,
Would there forget the vulture and the chain,
And leap to freedom from its mountain-bier!
All that it ever knew ofnobe thought
Would guide it upwards on the glorious track,
Nor the keen pains Of parting anguish wrought,
Turn its bright glances backl
Then to the elements my frame would turn;
No worms would riot on my cOlfned clayl
But my cold limbs, from that sepulchral urn
In the slow storm of ages waste awayl
Loud winds, and thundeT's diapasOn high,
Should he my requiem, through coming time,
And the white summit, fading in the sky,

Brother and Sister.

Brothers! Sisters blessed names! are
they not worth cherishing in this world Of
sunshine and shadow? Do we not love
them, though angry words may sometimes
soil our lips to them? Are we not after
terwards repentant of this our foolishness
and, as we put our arms around their neck
and kiss away the tear offorgivcness, do we
realize how much we have for which to be
grateful? And many other kindred and
dear acquaintance are with us on the jour
ney of life; but we overlook our blessings,
and try to penetrate into the dark future,
that we may find something to grumble
over, instead of raising our hearts in thanks
giving and praise, for the many blessings
around us.
