Live Within Your Means.

We don't like stinginess. We don't
like economy when it comes down to
rags and starvation. We have no sym.
pathy with the notion that poor man
should hitch himself to post and stand
still, while the resi- Of the world moves
forward. 1t is no mans duty to deny
himself every amusement, every luxury,
every recreation, every comfort, that he
may get rich. 1t is no mans duty to
make an iceberg of himself, TO shut his
eyes and ears to the sullerings of his fel-
lows, and to deny himself the enjoyment
that results from generous actions, mere
ly that he may hoard wealth for his heirs
to quarrel about. But there is an econo-
my which is every mans duty, and which
is especally commendable in the man
who struggles with poverty-an economy
which is consistent with happiness, and
which must be practiced if the poor man
would secure independence. 1t is almost
every mans privilege, and it becomes his
duty TO live within his means not to,
but within them. Wealth does not make
the man we admit, and should never be
taken into the account Of our Judgment
of men; but competence should always
be secured whenit can be-by practice of
economy and selfdenial to only & tolera'
BILE extent. 1t should be secured not SO
much for others to look upon, or to raise
us in the estimation of others, as to Sc
cure the consciousness of independence,
and the constant satisfaction which is de
rived from its requirement and posses
sion.

Who are Masons.

At late Masonic celebration, the Rev.
Mr.. Alger declared that four qualifca,
tions were indispensable for good Mason
First, he must be no scoffer, but man
of reverential spirit; second, he must
be no dry poser, but a man of a living
imagination; third, he must be no bigot,
but a man of liberal mind !, fourth, he
must be no selfish worldling, but man
of generous heart. Whether genuine
Christian men, consistent American citi-
zens. have reason to fear and oppose Ma.
sonry, or to trust and bcfriend it, the
speaker thought would appear clearly
enough from glimpse at the chief, char.
acteristics impersonated in its worthy
disciples. These characteristics he illus
trated with some detail under four heads.
First, every true Mason is pilgrim in
search of. light, travelling toward the goal
of his destiny. Secondly, every true
Mason is warrior, fighting for innocence
and charity against every form of evil.
Thirdly, every true Mason is patriot,
bound to love and serve his native land,
pledged to revere her laws and promote
her veal, Fourthly, every true Mason
is q spiritual architect, required to build
an indestructible house Of character out
of the rude material of his being. Under
the rough outworks the moral edi6ce goes
up, little by little, until it is complete.
Then death tears off the scaifoding of
flesh and bones, and the pure temple, not
made with hands, mounts to God.

a Fearful Story of Murder and
Revenge.

: A shocking story Of brutal murder,
and swift lawless punishment, among a
party of miners travelling on foot over
the Rocky Mountains to the Sweetwater
mines, is reported in one of our Western
exchanges. Hess, Frenchman, and
Armstrong, Nova scotian, had quar-
relied, but apparently became reconciled,
when Armstrong reopened the disagree
rfment, and threatened Hess for taking
some of his tobacco. During that day
the party entered dangerous and diff
cult canon, through which they wound
along narrow ledge of rock, several
hundred feet above the bed of the stream,
which ran along at the foot Of that fearful
precipice.
At the point of the greatest danger,
where the party had to travel in single
file, and several yards apart, Armstrong
watched his opportunity to dodge behind
ledge of rock unobserved, and thus fall
behind the others. Hess was the first
man in the file. As he drew near the
place where Armstrong was secreted, the
latter stepped forth and followed his COM
panions without seeming to notice him.
Presently he knelt down as though to tie
his shoe, and Hess. unable to pass, stop
ped within few feet of him. The next
moment, turning about to pick up his
bundle, which had been thrown aside
upon the ground, by q sudden. change of
movement he seized the unsuspecting
Frenchman and hurled him over the edge
of the terrible abyss.
Some twenty or thirty feet down from
the face of the precipice the wrctched
man lodged in the branches of scraggy
hemIoyk tree, which grew out of . creyice
in the rocky wall, and might from thence
have been rescued if assistance had been
nigh. But there was none. How the
murderer could summon the hardlhood
to stoop down and watch the fall of his
victim from the dizzy height we cannot
imagine. Yet Armstrong did look down
the cliff, perhaps to assure himself that
his murderous work was. we'll done, and
saw poor Hess .stilldesperately maintain
ing his hold upon life, instead of lying u
shapeless mass at the bottom of the canon.
The fiendish spirit manifested itself still
further. He got fragments of rock and
cast them down upon the poor man until
his lifeless body toppled over the yawn.
ing abyss below; then Armstrong arose
and pursued his journey.
The whole act was seen from distance
by another of the party, who was apart
hunting for game; and after they had got
into camp atnight he told the story, when
Armstrong was seized and charged with
the murder, and he did not deny it. A
part of the company were in favor of
taking him with them through to the set
Elements to be tried by the civil anthori-
ties, bet the majority were determined to
allow the murderer no chance for escape,
and so about an hour before midnight
Armstrong was conducted to the top of
a cliff which rose like a wall to the height
of one hundred and eighty or two hun
dred feet. half mile in The rear of the
camp. Having bound his hands and feet,
they cast him over into the black abyss,
out of which no cry returned

. Better than Gold.

Better than goll,is the sweet repose
OF the sons of toll when their labors close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slumbers deep.
Bring sleeping draughts to.the downy bed
Whore luxury pillows his aching head;
His simple op;ate labor deems
A shorter road to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is . thinking mind,
That in the realms,of books can find
a treasure surprising Australian ore,
and live with the great and good of yore.
TIE sages lore and the poets lay,
The glories of empire pass away.
The worlds great drama will thus enfold,
And yield . pleasure better than gold.
Better than. gold is q peaceful home,
Where all the fres;de charities come;
The shrine OF love, the heaven Of Kfe,
Halowed by mother or sister or wife;
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with SORROW by Heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought or sold,
And centre there are better than gold.

THE VICTIMS OF A MANIAC.-A horri
BILE incident recently occurred in the City
of Trebizond, Turkey. In the space of
few minutes seventeen victims fellun
der the knife Of q madman, each victim
receiving but a single wound, which in
all cases was aimed at the heart The
assassin commenced his butcheries at
eight o'clock in the morning, armed with
a knife sharpened on two edges, the blade
of which was about six or seven inches
in length. Having fastened the knife to
his hand with cord: keeping the blade
beneath his arm, thus prepared he CON-
menoed walking slowly up the street,
seizing his opportunity to stab every one
whom he found within his reach, and
quickly conoealing his weapon after each
lnurderous blow, left his surprised vic
tins totally unconscious of the hand that
dealt their death wound, and unable to,
denounce the assassin. An end was finally
put to the bloody work by baker, who
succeeded in telling the assassin to the
earth with a well aimed blow from a
heavy stick Of wood, when he was i'm
mediately seized, disarmed and handed
over to the authorities. The excitement
and horror created among the entire pop
glation of Trebizond vas so great that
the government was obliged to hasten
the execution, and after a summary trial
the culprit was taken into the public
square and beheaded in the presence of
the whole population cf the city.

Adventures OF a Dressing Gcwn.

A lady was anxious to make her hus-
band a present on the occasion of his
birthday, and it happening to fall in the
winter she thought a dressing gown would
be most useful acquisition to his do.
mestic comforts. So she went and pur-
chased a fine Persian pattern, one we'll
wadded. Not remembering the exact
height of her husband, she thought it best
to purchase one rather too long, than two
short, to make sure of its usefulness.
Tho day was wet, her husband returned
in the, afternoon, and she presented him
with new article of comfort; and he
fancied it indeed great comfort after he
had put off his wet garments. But it
was about ten inches too long.
"Oh! never mind" said the affection
ate wife, {" | can easily shorten it to suit
you.''
They had party in the evening, and
were very merry; and every one admired
the beautiful dressing gown. After they
had gone to bed the wind and rain made
such q noise that the wife could not sleep;
her husband, however, snored musically.
She arose without disturbing him-took
the dressing gown and commenced her
work, cutting of about the length of ten
inches to make it suit her husbands stat
ure and then went to bed again. In the
morning she was up early to some ar
rangements with the house.keeper, as
several friends were expected to dinner
that day. Scarcely had the lady left the
room, when her sister-a good natured
old lady who lived with them-stepped
in on tip-toe, in order not to disturb the
sleepe~, took the dressing gown, and has
tened to her own room, cut off about ten
inches, as she knew it was too long the
night before. An hour after, the gentle
mau avoke, and was now anxious to sur
prise his afiectionate wife Ringing for
the servant, he was told to take the dress
ing gown to the tailor and have it made
shorter by ten inches. The good wife
was detained longer than she expected;
and scarcely had the dressing gown re.
turned FROM the tailor's, when she came
in the room. Her husband had just risen,
and proposed now to surprise his wife
and enjoy discomfort Buthow surprised
was his better.half to see her husband in
fine Persian pattern shooting jacket in
