Dick shook his head
Dearest Susy, you are pretty enough
without it, he said, playfully; the green
is shade too dark, and the feathers do
not coincide with the trimmings"
Susan looked dismayed.
" You say then, Richard, that it does
not become me- she asked, seriously, as
pout was upon her lips
1t does not, Susy," he added, sooth-
ingly. But Dick suffered for the truth.

" L wonder why you come to see me so Of

No, Susy, no." he said and he sooth-
ed her, and took her hand in his and
kissed it. But his doom was sealed.

Yes, you love her then" she cried,

cannot say, you know him. He would
never say anything evil of me-"

/ But Susan had left the room, and again
Richard Wolf was after losing the last
friend that he had. His own Susy, his
/ intended.
| He left the house and was returning in
the direction of his home. He loitered
about till evening, and then sought to
get admittance privately. He wanted to
see his sister, who was Susan's best friend.
He turned up the street.
Then as he was musing what to do,
hand was placed violently upon his shoul-
der, and looking behind, he found party
ofpeople coming toward him crying OUT
That's him! hold him fast! Mr..
Bloomfield be is strong Hold him! there
is no knowing what mischief he is plan
ing now, for he's as mad as March hareY'
And the law officer tightened his grasp,
although Dick vainly endeavored to free
himself; and amidst hooting crowd, he
was borne along to the police depot.
And behind followed his father, moth
er, and sister. And Susan Dorset, and
Mr.. Green; and all to prove satisfactorily,
that Richard Wolf was insane, and need
ed the shelter of Lunatic Asylum.
And the beggar was there to state, that
he saw that same gentleman walking thro'
the streets bareheaded, and was insane
enough to throw FIVE dollar piece in the
gutter.
And all gave testimony against Dick,
and be was put over for further examina-
tion on the following day.
And Harry Phillips was there and
laughed over it all.
That night Dick: cried himself to sleep
in felon's cell; but Harry cleared the
whole affair next day.

When and Where Does the Day Begin ?

w uou anu w uSIS OCSS tHS LAY BEGIN
The Scientific American says: As we
travel eastward the day begins earlier;
near the equator starlight appears an hour
four for each thousand miles going sass
When it is sunrise in New York, the peo-
pie of Europe have had sunlight many
hours, and the Calfornians are still in
their beds dreaming Evidently the day
has first beginning, and at the eastward.
But how far and where? What are the
people who first see the light of Monday
mornining? 1t is the sun which brings
the day where dose he first bring Mon
day? If we could travel with him we
might find out. Let us suppose the case.
We will take an early start at sunrise on
Sunday morning, with the sun just at the
point of peeping over the horizon behind
US, we travel westward As we go, the
people give US Sunday greeting; we
bring Sunday with us to Pittsburg, St.
Louis, Salt Lake, San Francisco. At
San Francisco our faithful chronometor
informs us that we have been ON the
tramp about five hours. But we started
on Sunday morning and it is Sunday
morning still. We go on, still on Sun
day morning. Will this Sunday morn
ing ever end? The quiet Pacific knows
very little of Sunday or other day, and
our question scarcel ly receives an echo for
reply. When we get to Yokohama in
Japan, or Shanghai in China, We search
for some Yankee, wide awake in the ear
ly morning, aud We are told for the first
time that Monday has come. Every
where now We bring Monday, and in TWEEN
ty four hours by the ehronometer after
starting we are in New York again, and
End the merchants taking down their
shutters and the Mondy newspapers tell
US what happended during 9pr absence.

he has just said is very weak; and the
idea of your resolution is an impossible
ity."
III wager you ten dollars"
Done. That you will upon your hon
or, conscientiously tell, or speak nothing
but the unblemished truth for one day"
eyes Upon my honor" And Dick
and Henry shook hands.
The above conversation happened one
Sunday afternoon, as our two worthless
were returning home from divine service
the preacher having descantcd at consid-
cradle length on the difficulties of speak
ing the truth in Cody fear The atten-
tion of Harry was wrapped up in the dis
course, as each admonition found place
in his heart, and examining his conscience
by the solemn appeals of the preacher, he
found that for truthfV ness and integ-
rity of purpose, he was light in the bal
ance.
Not so with the truth-telling Dick
He dismissed the idea as unbecoming in
a Christian, the express of the Creator,
and after hearing the impressions of Har-
ry upon the subject, he bluntly and ex-
pressly argued him down, by asserting
what we have related above.
The friends parted, and to find the Sc
quel we must accompany Richard home,
and await the proceedings of the ensuing
day.
He retired to rest, nor invoked the Au-
thor OF Truth to sustain him in the pain
full issue Of his rashness and imbecility.
The family were all astir the follow
ing morning, before Dick awoke to a
sense of his resolution. Breakfast. was
over before he appeared, and father de-
manded authoritatively the cause of his
absence. Then for the first time, Dick
repented his wager.
He must tell the truth for that day,
and he stammered out
" | was too sleepy and didn't like to
rise"
you did not like, didn't you, eh, re-
peated the father.
What an uhmannerly child, John" :"
added his mother, " after all our palms."
Surely the boy must be asleep yet," I"
reiterated Mrs. Wolf, "else he would
never speak SO"
And the old woman prattled on in her
insinuations, seeing Dick with bowed head j,
aud cautious department standing still
without palliating his ofonse by single
word.
" It's true what | have often told you
John" she confined, " the boy cares no.
thing about US. How the world is upside
down. Goodness me, who would
have ever thought the like when | was a
girl? He is really unnatural" And
Mrs. Wolf sobbed aloud.
+" [ tell boy" resumed his father, " that
you must mend your conduct and obey
me, /" this he added sternly, seeing that
Dick remained silent. Mark me | will
punish you to the last degree, if you still
persist in your impertinenoe."
+" How he mocks us" cried Mrs. Wolf,
sharply, " am sure the boy would not
care if we were dead and buried"
ASK him." she repeated, turning to-
wards her husband, who still kept regard
ing Dick in silent anger.
Then she put the question herself d.
rectly to Dick, aud she saw his counte-
nance turn pale, Then she repeated her

For restoring hair upon bald heads (from

forcing growth Of hair upon the face, it
has no equal. 1t will force the beard to
grow upon the smoothest face in from five TO
eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from
two TO three months. A few ignorant prac-
titioners have asserted that there is nothing
that will force or hasten the growth of the
hair or beard. Their assertains are false, as
thousands of living witnesses Qrom their
own experience) can bear witness. But
many will say, how are we TO diitinguish
the genuine from the spurious! 1t certainly

viii Mr.. Van CIeve Now Resign?


THE Committee on Law, to whom the Com
mon Council referred the question of the eligi-
bility of Mr.. +. A. Van Cleve to the position
of Assistant City Solicitor, have agreed on a
report adverse to the rights of that gentleman.
The Committee are of the opinion that the
law forbidding members of Councils accepting
any municipal Office during the term for which
they have been elected applies to the whole
length of the term, and cannot be avoided by
the resignation of the position, in order that
the letter of the law may be evaded. They
have therefore, decided that the ambitious
Van Cleve has no right to his new post, and,
having resigned his old one, he must
sink into that appropriate insignif-
canoe for which nature so well fitted
him. Having thus been declared an in
truder by the Committee on Law, and having
thus had the judgment of the community con-
frmed by the legal opinion of Councils, the
questions previously propounded by ..us.. re-
turn with full force, Will Mr.. Van Cleve now
resignl Will nothing shame him out of his
ill-gotten position3 Will no sense of propriety
or decency secure his vacation Of the Office 2
VIII ne nOlu on unLu ne is lBHOmlulOuSly
elected by order of the Court These ques
tions are pertinent, and we ask from Mr. Van
Cleve an answer. If he will but think of what
an improvement his resignation would be to
the interests of the city, we do not think he
could dismiss these questions from his mind.
Let US suppose that after weighing all the
considerations, after calculating how much
money he could make, and then setting oppo-
site his gain his loss of lfrespect, of popular
regard, and all hope of political preferment in
the future, he was to resign. What would
follow? Mr.. Van Cleve would at once enter a
sphere in which he is eminently qualified to
shine-the sphere of private life. The obscurity
and the ease, the gentler repose and customary
nothingness, would come like a balm and
remind him of what he has, with trifling ex-
ception, been all his life accustomed to. And
his patriotism as one of the patres conScripti
would be gratifed by seeing Mr.. Worrell, who
is of right entitled to the position, elected
in his stead, and the laws of the city would be
attended to by gentleman of ability.
In view of the decision of the Committee on
Law, will not Mr.. Van Cleve take time by the
forelock anticipate an expulsion, and at once
resign?

An AvownI of Perfihv.

The Charleston Mercury boldly proclaims that
all that may be done in that State in con-
formity to the provisions of the Reconstrue-
ton act will be wiped out at the very first
opportunity. 1t says:-
"If ever the Government of the United States
becomes lree government, and the Constitu-
tion be restored TO vitality, everything done
under this act, we presume, will be wiped out
The constitution OF "a free government dictated
by military authority, is am absurdity. 1t Will
last lust as long as the military authority en-
forces it, aud not a day longer One OF two
things we deem to be certain-either the people
of ali the United States must remain perrna-
nentIy under an absolute despotism, or the
white population of South Carolina win rule the
State"
This means simply, that the moment the
Democratic party shall obtain power in South
Carolina it will proceed to disfranohise the
Colored citizens, and to reduce them again to a
condition of servitude. All the guarantees OF
liberty and equal rights that may be put In

Partisanship Exposing Itself.

IT is an amusing commentary on the power
of partisanship to take utterly opposing views
of the same subject, to read Attorney General
Stanbery's official opinion of the Reconstruc-
ton act just published, and the Presidents
veto message of the same act, generally under
stood to have been also written by Mr.. Stan
berry. In the veto message the requirements
of partisanship were that the most extreme
view of the bill should be taken; that the
harshest possible construction should be
placed upon all its provisions; and that it
should be held up to the odium of the people
as an unconstitutional and tyrannical measure.
This was the view dictated by the supposed
partisan needs of the President and his fol-
lowers. Now, however, when the bill is to
be executed, instead of conforming his inter-
probation of it to the views of the veto mes
sage, he runs to the other extreme, and puts a
construction upon the law which is not only
opposed to its letter and spirit, but must also
go far towards defeating its object.
In both cases the view taken is a partisan
one, and intended to subserve partisan ends.
To answer most completely the veto message,
one has but to read the Attorney Generals
opinion; to demolish the opinion, one has but
to consult the veto message. Both relate to
the same subject; both proceed from the same
source; and both are partial and exaggerated
documents, each false and yet each confuting
the other. 1t is not often that partisanship
makes so palpable and thorough an exposure
of itself.
