Let the church enter into rivalry with

When James T. Brady, the cele,
brated lawyer of New York, first
opened lawyers Office, he took a
basement room which had been pre-
viously occupied by cobler. He
was somewhat annoyed by the pre-.
vious occupants callers, and irritated
by the fact that he had few of his
own. One day an Irishman entered.
The cobler's gone, / see," he
said.
II should think he had,' tartly
responded Brady.
"And what do you sell ?" he in
quired, looking at the solitary table
and a few law books.
s'Blockheads !' was Che response.
"Be gorra," said the Irishman,
we must be doin fine business; ye
hain't got but one left"

Sunshine of the Heart.

Carry the radiance of your soul in
your face Let the world have the
benefit of it. Let your cheerfulness
be felt for good wherever you are,
and let your smiles be scattered like
sunbeams, on the just as well as the
unjust, Such disposition will yield
you rich reward, for its happy eff
fects will come home to you and
brighten your memories of thought.
Cheerfulness makes the mind clear
gives tone to thought, adds grace
and beauty to the countenance
Joubert says; "When you give
give with joy and smiling
Smiles are little things, cheap ar
ticles, to be fraught with SO many
blessings both to the giver and re
ceiver, pleasant little ripples to
watch as we stand on the shore of
eveay day life. They are our high
Ell better natures responses to the
emotions of the soul. 81. ..s
Let the children have the benefit of
them those little ones who need the
sunshine of the heart to educate
them, and would find a level for
their buoyant natures in the cheer
full, loving faces of those who lead
them. ezsf-s.fs .,...--s5.=i i e.
Let them not be kept from the
middle-aged who need the encour-
agement they bring. te<e "a
Give your smiles also to the aged.
They come to them like the quiet
rain of summer, making fresh and
verdant the long, weary path of life.
They look for them from you who
are rejoicing in the fullness of life.

Letters ofGold.

81 cannot forbear pointing out to
you, my dear child" said Jackson
once TO young lady, in whose wei
fare he felt deep interest, 'the great
advantages that will arise from tenn
perate conduct and sweetness of
manner to all people On all occa-
sions. Never forget that you are a
gentle woman and all your words
and action should make you gentle.
I never heard your mother, your
dear, good mother, say a harsh OF
hasty thing to any person in my life.
Endavor to initiate her. I am quick
and hasty in my temper but it is q
misfortune which, not having been
sufficiently restrained in my youth,
has caused me inexpressible pain.
It has given me more trouble to sub
due this impetuosity than anything
I ever undertook"

cravings of Washington, Lincoln,
Sherman and Sheridan, and several
photographs of Rogers statutes are
the only pictures in heroom. Easy
chairs and lounges are placed care
lessly about the room, and the IL

cheerful and inviting apartment in
the house A immature saddle and

EnOch Arden OutdOne at Last.

Nathan Swim, nice young me
chanic, had pretty wife and four
children. Swim took a boarder, a
freight conductor on the G. R. I. &
p. Railroad, who stole the pretty
woman's affections and became very
naughty Swim begged of his wife
at various times, to change her con-
duct and he would forgive her. She
wouldn't reform, SO Swim divided
his goods with her and helped her
ship them West in company with her
seducer. The woman got into the
eaboose and bade her husband good
bye as coolly as though he were a
mere acquaintance. Swim then went
up to the rascal and said: "You've
got the woman. If you ever desert
her or misuse her, and I hear of it,
I'll kill you. You've done enough
to injure me--don't repeatit it with her,
and of they started for the far West.

Grants MaximS.

We do not know of a public man
in our history who has had such a
rare faculty of condensing great
truths into small space, as General
Grant. Take the following as ex-
amples:
AS early as the second year of the
war, in a letter to Mr.. Washburne,
he writes II never was an Abo-
litionist-not even what could be
called anti-slavery-but l try to
Judge fairly and honestly, and it be-
came patent to my mind early in the
rebellion that the North and South
could mever Hve a. peace aoiM each
other except as one nation, and that
acihout Slavery"
And again AS anxious as l am
to see peace established, l would
not therefore be willing to see amg
settlement until this question Is set
tied"
/ In his general order to his sol
diers after the capture of General
Lee, in referring to the enforcement
of the emancipation proclamation
he calls "slavery the cause and pre-
tert Of the rebellion.
In his famous letter to the Presi-
dent while acting as Secretary of
War od interim he says: 81 stated
that the law was binding upon me,
constitutional or not, until set aside
By the proper tribunal-a document
that will do to stand by.
In his testimony before the I'm
peachment Committee, he says: "I
hare al.coys been attentive to ney osun
duties, end tried not to interfere soith
other peoples. And again, II never
was in favor of general amnesty un-
til the time should come when it
would be safe to giAe it, -
In his correspondence with Pres
ident johnson in reference to the
removal of General Sheridan from
the district of Louisiana, he says ::
"rhis is Republic where the will
of the people is the law of the land.
I beg that their voice may be heard.
In his speech to the committee
appointed to inform him of his NOM
ination, he said: If chosen Presi-
dent II shall have no policy Of nay
own to enforce against the aDtW Of
Me people,
In his letter accepting the Re-
publican nomination, he says !:
HPurely administrative officers
should always be left to execute the
will of the people, l always have re-
spected that will and always shall.

The "Blak" Man.
BYsJosH BILLIONS.

The blak man emigrated tew this
free and plus country about 200
years formerly, in the lower story of
a vessel: he was kindly furnished
with a free ride, and some rice and
water for vittles. 4-.-.--.,.'..
Immejitly upon his arrival he
commenced bizness for other folks
on our Eastern coast, and had plenty
to do, aFs4--5,- o. M ef5-s
He wuz very economical in his
habits of clothes, wearing but few
and those seldom made out Of cassi-
mere. a-.
He okkashunally changed his To-
cation, moving into an adjoining
State, but in these journeys he was
always furnished with a guide, SO
that there was no danger of his gift
ing lost. -.--. ss
In these trips he seldum took his
family with him they were allowed
to remain at hum, or made excur-
sions to other States in. search OF
work, under5the guidance Of exper-
fenced guides. aa sal ,.,
Once i'm a while the Blak Man
would stray away to the cold and
bitter North and git cruelty lost.
Hiz guide would mourn flor him
and search for him. but hiz family
soon got reconciled to the loss.
Everybody sed, where he lived
that he was the happiest critter that
had ever been discovered yet, with
nothing to do but work, and kind
guide to watch over him all the time
and mourn for him when he got lost,
But the Blak Man i; a very phool
ish critter ss t.-.-..
After 200 yeard ov this bliss, he
grew cross to his guides, and the
conzeequent iz that the guides have
got mad, and I am afraid that the
Blak Man will have tew take care 0,
himself now. vssa ;s r-.}....rs. 81
I He will find it very different nov
from what it was before. ss,s

yung ones now, and lern them how
to spell correktly, one of the mos
difficult things in the world and HI
has got tew vote, and keep his fam
lice together, and pay when he ride'
in the street kars.
I am afrade the Blak Man ha;
made mistake: if he haz, it il ,
bad one, for his guides will neve
take him into their hands again
no, never! They are mad, anc
don't like the way the Blak Mar
quit them, when they wuz driy will
bizness, and after they had took sc
much care of him for so many years
feel sorry for the guides; they
alwuz seemed to have a great inter
est in the Blak Man, but they art
mad now, and Iedon't know az
blame them much, for Blak ingrati
