The stricken man graspcd my hand, and
with sobs and tears he begged my pardon

y Coon NAME,-A good name is above
all price. Have you not found it SO, young
man, you whose well known virtues have
placed you in position which you occupy
with feelings of commcndable pride? And
you whose fame has been the target of en-
vious tongues, have you not seen a good
name to be the only breast plate that is
impervious to the poisoned shafts of calum.
ny? Gold and talent, what are these
without 4 character? A light to render
darkness visible gliding, which, by
contract, makes the substance more revol-
ting! Cherish it then, all who possess it;
guard it caIcfully-for depend upon this,
its purity once tarnishcd, the unwcarying
effort will hardly restore it to its pristine
lustre. Let it attend you through the
Journey of life, GROWING Your days with
peace and happiness. The rectitude
which won it will ongrave upon your face
: letter of accommodation to the people
If every nation end tongue. Aud when
he traspre is no Logger neediul to you, it
hall send to your posterity a leg asy with
which millions on millions would not be ar

The Pleasant w orld.

This is very pleasant world and very
pleasantly made, curiously contrived in
deed, to keep wide awake until we round
it with sleep"
There Is an arrangement effected in the
last way in the world we mortals should
have thought of-just by rolling the globe
over and over. Of course we mean the
day and night-the lights and shadows of
llte's fair perspective. Aside from the me-
cessity we feel of that almost dying now
and then, which we christian "slecp,"
what could possibly afford grandcr series
of surprises than the alienation of night
and day. Day; nothing but a lighted
vostibule to something, We know not what
Night; short dim hall that leads us to
another And on we go, through this
grand suite Of brilliant chambers with
shadowy passage ways between, until VIC
have explored this wonderous castle of
our mortal being.
w nat IL IL were ono great, un broken
day, how dull 'twod grow in life's long
afternoon! How like a Monday would
existance be /! Nothing made over new
no dawning to await; no to morrow to
dream of or to hope for; no surprise to
quicken thought aud heart, but just a
steady blaze of day-an Arabia the Rocky,
without an Araby the Blcst."
For our part, We are glad We are igno.
rant; glad We are not Ubiquitous; we
would not have " the wings of the morn
ins,' if We could. This opening and shut
ting of doors all through the word pleases
us. 1t is poem without piefactory
" argument;' a pay without program
me. Were life and action "laid out"
then action and life would be a corpse, and
all We mourners should ego about the
streets. ."-C4icogo Journal.

THE LEFT-HANDED THIEF

Row many young men have been in
Jured and perhaps ruined by false suspi.
o'on ~ remarked my mercantile friend, u:
we were conversing on the "panic," few
evenings since. Suspicion is like an assas
bin in the dark. 1t stabs its victim. and
no knows not from whence the blow comes.
Or 1t may be like the keen frost which sci,
zes upon the ears, the checks, or the nose,
freezing the flesh or driving back the life
blood, and yet the poor nan is totally ig.
norant of his situation till hu comes in con-
tact with heat, and begins to feel the stir.
ring pain. But believe | never told you
oil the only time that suspicion of evil was
ever fastened on me. 1t has nothing par
ticular to do with the subject under con-
sidsration, though it serves to show how
merchants sometimes lose money.
When mere youth l was placed in
the store of Jacob Wharton, a merchant
doing good business. l was frugal in.
dustrious and faithful, and at the age of
twenty-onc l was advanced to the post of
book-kecper, with good salary. l had
charge of the books and the safe, and all
the money left over after banking hours
was also in my care. 1 tried to do nv
duty faithfully and think succeeded
MIR. Wharton was close, methodical man
with quick eye and ready underst andine
of business, and as l fancied he felt salts.
fed, felt much pleased.
had been book-keepcr for a year
when l thought my employers manner to.
wards me began to change He began to
freat me more coolly, and finally 1 was
sure he watched my movements with dis.
trustful glanCes, became nervous and
uneasy, for feared l had offended him.
But tho thing came to head at length.
One evening when | was alone in the
store, engaged in making up my cash &C,
count, Mr.. Wharton came to me with a
troubled look and spoke. His voice was
tremuous, and could SEQ that he was
deeply affected.
"Gcorgc,' said he, "I am sorry for the
conviction that has been forced upon me
l fear you have not been treating me as
you should"
managed in spite of my astonishmcnt
to ask what he meant
~ fear you are not honcst!" was tLe
reply,
Not Honesti And there had becn
lor many years making it my chief aim
and study how to serve him most faithful
" l do not remember what said first
l only know the tears came into my eyes
that my lips trcmbled-and that my ut.
.efance was almost choked How long had .
1c held these suspicious? / asked him
'and he told me for more than two months.
You have suspected me thus, and still

a BEAUTIFUL THoUGuT.--A solemn
and beautiful thought is expressed in tho
following:
1t is related of a well known divine,
who, when living, was called "The Prince
of Divines," that, when on his death bed,
he was debating words to an amanuepsis,
who had written.
II am still in the land of the living"
"Stop," said the dying man, "correes
that. Say:
II am yet in tho land of tie Dying, but
hope soon to bo in the land of the living ="
Beautiful thought-and it is so. In his
closing scene, the Christian is enabled to
contrast this passing, dying world with
that which ia to come"

CHANCES OF BATTLE.-oAtW Waterloo
said Napoleon, ~ ought to have been
victorious The chances we're hundred
to one in my favor But Ney, the bravest
OF the brave, at the head of $4,000 thou-
sand Frenchmen, suffered himself to be
delayed day by some thousands of Mas
sau troops. Had it not been for this in
explcabl inactivity, the English army
would have been taken fragrant delicio,
and anihilated without striking blow.
Grouchy, with 10000 men, suffered Bu-
low and Blucher to escape him; and f.
naly heavy shower of rain made tho
ground so soft that it was impossible to
commence an attac. at daybreak. Had +
been able to commence early, Wellington
would have been troden down in tho dc.
files of the forest before the Prussians
would have had time to arrive. It was
lost otherwise without resource. The de-
feat OF Wellington army would have been
peace, the reposc of Europe, the recogni-
ton of the interests Of the masses, and tho
democracy,

not extend to them the right of suilerago
as did the Democratic party in their best
days, and now turn against them when
they do not vote with them. For your
position on the territories you may quote
one Southern man, j. G. Calhoun tho
head Of the nulifers of 1892; but he did
not conceive his territorial ideas for somo
lo years alter; SO you see that 10 is of re.
cent origcn and that he did not introduce
them till he found bis other plans of treason
would not do.

A GREAT TuoUGur.-There are worse
things than war. Deterioration and NOR
al cowardicc arc worse than death and
when it becomes necessary to die for great
truths and principles how sweet and how
beautiful is the sacrifice Let no one im-
aglne that this is our day of deepest darE
ness. Twenty millions of people rising as
one man, thrilled by one impulse, swept
by one spirit of self sacrifice, holding right
and justice to be dearer than life, and that
life for these may and shall be offered up
will appear in history as the brightest
omen of the century. Civilization and
free government are not to tail here, but
to come forth more glorious and secure
from trial, This is the clear pointing fin.
ger of God, and for this He strikes the aw.
full hour and summons men to their duty:
Meanwhile we hope that from all tho altars
of religion will bs breathed the holiest.
sclcctcst influence into the cause of con-
liberty as the cause of God.
