HOME READING.

One of the most pleasant and
nobIest duties of the head of the
family is to furnish its members Nith
good reading. In times which are
past it was considered enough to
clothe and feed and shelter family.
This was the sum of parental duty,
But lately it has been found out that
wives and children have minds, so
that it becomes a necessity to edu-
cate the children and furnish read
ing for the whole household. 1t
has been found out that the mind
wants food as we'll as the body, and
that it wants to be sheltered from
the pitiless storm of error and vice
by the guarding and friendly roof of
intelligence and virtue.
An ignorant family in our day is
an antiquated institution. 1t smells
of the musty past. 1t is dark spot
which the light of the modern sun Of
intelligence has not reached.
Let good reading go into home,
and the very atmosphere of that
home gradually but surely changes.
The boys begin to grow ambitious,
to talk about men, places, princi-
plies, books, the past and the future.
The girls begin to feel new life
opening before them in knowledge,
duty and love. They see new fields
of usefulness and pleasure. And so
the family changes, and out from its
number will go intelligent men and
women, to fill HONORABLE places and
be useful members of society. Let
the torch of intelligence be lit il
every household. Let the old and
young vie with each other in intro
ducing new and useful topics of in
yestigation, and in cherishing a love
of reading, study and improvement

To DEVELOP TALENT, Place a
man in a position that will fearfully
tax him and try him, position that
will often bring the blush to his
cheek and the sweat to his brow, a
position that will overmaster him at
the times, and cause him to rack his
brain for resources. Place him in
position like this. But every time
he trips go to his rescue go not with
words of blame or censure, but go
with manful words of encouragement
look him boldly in the eye and speak
them with soul and emphasis. This
is the way to make a man of a boy
and giant Of a man. If q man has
pluck and talent, no matter whether
he ever filled a gi zen position or moi
put him in it, if worthy, and he will
soon not only fill it, but outgrow it
But put none in position with
faint heart. This is the way to xii
him. Put him in grandly with mos
unmistakable confidence. Drop n
caveats, but boldly point the way
and then stand by with the will an
countenance of true friend. Thu

and nineteen will succeed --Ch 4

D.urer- OF CsrcumssantiaI Evidence.


An Innocent Nan Sesf % fke PeniteRStGry.
IFrom the Ohio State journal, July 19.1
A remark able case, showing the danger OF
trusting Implicitly TO eircumstantial evidence,
has recently been completed Ia Toledo. Nearly
three years ago Robert Sharp was found dead;
with shot and slugs in his brain. man named
Harrington, who had been on intimate terms
with the deceased, was arrested ror the murder.
The st;mony was wholly cireumstantial, but
Harrington was convicted and sent 70 the peni-
tertiary. His lawyers had become interested i'm
the case, and, although Harrington was q poor
man, they determined to fight his eause 70 the
end. After long and ardnous struggle through
the District and Supreme Courts, AN order for a
new trial Was obtained, and that trial has Just
closed The main points In the evidence upon
which he was convicted were the apparent cor
respondence OF the shot in the body of the dead
man with that in the shet-bag belonging to Har-
rington; the correspondence OF pieces OF news
paper found near the scene of the supposed muir
der, assumed to be part of the gun wadding,
with torn paper In Harrington's residence,
and piece in his vest pocket, and that the
motive for the murder was to be found in the
alleged fact that Sharp having come to Toledo
with several hundred dollars of money. which
Harrington knew, and that no one else was 80
rendered doubtful whether there was a similar
ity in the shot IL was clearly proven that the
pieces Of paper alleged 10 have been picked up
at the scene of the murder were not there at the
finding of the body, nor for a day two after
ward, and the inference was unavoidable that
they were placed there by the detectives to
aid them in working mp the case against Har--
ripgton. 1t was further proven that Sharp was
destitute when he arrived in Toledo, and that
Harrington was doing his best TO aid him in pro-
curing employ ment- To crown all, an abb was
satisfactorily proven Harrington was declared
innocent, and the jury voluntarily gave him
letter, signed by every one. repeating in en-
phatic terms their belief of his entire innocence.
Of any knowledge OF the supposed murder, and
bearing testimony to his uniform good character.
The public sentiment unanimously conceded
with this verdict The former employer of Har-
rington Immediately took him back again into
