THE WIFE S7ONE.


Along the road two Irish lads
One Summers day were walking,
And all the while with laugh and shout,
IN lively strain were talking
About the fAir, about The girls,
And Who were beat a dancing;
WhileAt each pretty faoe they nat,
Their eyes we're brightly gianelng
And A. they rode for many . mile,
They grew Ia time quite frisky;
Aud now and then, from lip 10 lip,
They passed the darlln' Whiskey.
A. length before them In the hedge,
The roadside view commanding.
They saw, is white side lcttercd DER
mile stone lonely standing.
They read, and quickly dofIsd their ha,..
With sorrow IN their faces;
They turned with revercntial awe,
And stepped hack several PAGES.
"speak low. Wc're near the dead" said one.
Ills grave we'll not BE- troubiin e"

Morn-out ConscIences.


Josh Billings gives US, among many
other good things which are sprinkled
among his very many things which are
not good, the phrase 'worn-out conscien-
ces.'
The world is full of Worn-ou conscien-
ces. There is not one man in ten who
has not had a conscience which asserted
itself strongly and frequently during
childhood. Some of these young con-
sciences have grown stronger and bolder
with years, and more and more insist
ubon obedience. Others, and far the
greater portion, have yielded in meas
ure their prerogative as autocrats, and
merely suggest, in the way Of advice,
what they have a right to command.
These cousciences are not entirely worn
out; they have simply given up the
active contest they have learned to
take life easily. Men listen TO their
advice; unless, indeed, they are too
much excited TO hear it, and then take
counsel of their reason whether they
shall follow that advice or not. These
are the consciences which are most
common in the business World-in Wall
street-in mercantile life. They have
found it impolitic to be too meddle-
some. They do in many cases insist
upon their rights if .bsolute dishonesty
be involved. They growl if stealing be
suggested, or forgery, Oh misapproprI-
alton. If overreaching be resorted to,
however, as a matter of business, and
because all men resort to it. the con-
sciences are undisturbed. They are
not entirely worn-out consciences; but
simply retired from active life.
Other consciences there are, however,
which fight their battles in childhood,
and which cannot and do not yield
until they are absolutely worn out.
The growing passions are too strong
for them, but they cannot learn to take
life easily. They must assert them
selves entirely or not at all. Some of
them fight their way through school
life, yielding inch by inch, but stubborn
to the end. Temptation after temp
tation assails them, with the passions
on the side of their enemies. If they
sustain the battle of childhood and
youth, we see them still harder at
work in early manhood. 1t is here,
perhaps, that most Of our worn out
consciences have made their uncondi-
tional surrender.
Nearly all the men who seem to be
without consciences, are those who
have had the strongest and most stub
born ones. Their passions have been
stubborn too; whichever had yielded,
its enemy was certain to have been
completely and forever subdued. These
are the men who become our great
men in evil and in good. What straws
have turned the tide of the battle in
one direction or the other-Who shall
say! Your plant conscience makes a
compromise with plant passion, and
the.WeIl-to-do men of the world moves
easily through life troubled as little by
one as by the other. Your genuine
worn out conscience, however is a van
quished foe stubborn, unyielding,
desperate, until the fall, and then the
passive slave of every evil impulse
