There is as much merit in catering to the
humorous side of our nature as to the sober

laugh and indulge in pleasantries just as
much as to pray and fast. Because face

not follow that its possessor is first class

He COULDN'T TELL L1E.-Alf Burnett,
in one of his letters to The People, of In
dianapolis, relates the following anecdote {:
By the by, good story is told Of Ben
Butler and his notorious honesty. A short
time since Ben Butler and Wendell Philips
had business with the President, and arm
in arm, proceeded to call upon him. The
President was busy, and sent word that he
would See them presently. Phillips and
Butler stroled out into the conservatory, in
the rear of the White House, thence to the
to the garden. Butler and Philips were
engaged in an animated conversation upon
some topic. Butler became slightly ex-
cited
A large hatchet, belonging to the garden
er, was beside tree Butler casually pick
ed it up, and while talking, he made sever
al deep gashes with it into one of General
Grants favorite trees. Just at this juno
ture, the President appearing, Butler hasti-
ly secreted it under his coat-tails.
After the compliments of the day, the
President spied for the first time bis mutt
lated tree, and, with tones of vehemence,
inquired who had been cutting and gashing
that tree After few moments pause But
Ter stepped bravely up to the President and
took HIM by the hand, saying, "Mr. Presi-
dent, l cannot tell lie cannot tell
lie Wendell Philips did it."

Character is like stock in trade; the more
of it man possesses, the greater his facul-
ties for adding 10 it. Character is influence !;
it makes friends, creates funds, draws pat
ronage and support, and opens sure and
easy way to wealth, honor, and happiness.

An Instructive Scene.

As Senator Sumner was emerging from
the Capitol, the other morning, he was con-
fronted by an aged fifteenth amendment,
who, hat in hand, and bowling and scraping,
remarked:
Il believe dis Massa Sumner ?"
''No sir There are no masters in this
land-I am Senator Sumner"
This nearly squelched the old darkey,
but he rallied with the remark 'You's done
heap for de culler'd race"
Il am proud to hear you say so,' re-
sponded the magnificent Chawles.
"De niggers all speak of you in de high
est elevation
Sumner bowed and smiled his acknowl-
edgments.
''What was coming at, Boss, is dat de
winters hard and de times pretty rough to
de old woman and 1, and if you could spare
de old darkey half a dollar"
Sumner stopped no further, but with
majestic wave of disapproval from the Sen
atorial hand he moved on, while the venera-
! bic colored brother muttered something
about don't appear to kerr much for the
niggers 'cept to vote and git der names up. .
Just then Sam Cox came along and gave
the poor old darkey dollar. Cox is called

soapsuds, the stronger the better, but not in
such quantities as to leach the ashes. In
