There is hardly young man that goes
out into life, who does not want the repu-
tation of being smart before he is smart.
There is hardly single circle in which you
see half dozen young men, that you do
not see them aping something; make be-
lieve; putting on airs" as the saying is.
They3wish to have the appearance of a
bravery, position, or something else,
which they have not attempted They are
not willing to creep before they walk
The very beginning of life devolves a ten
deney in men to false appearances to in
sincerity; to an estimation which is radi-
cally unmanly; to desire to have what
does not belong to them; what they have
no right to claim by reason of anything
they are, of what they have been. To be
without pretcnce. to desire to have only
that which you can legitimately claim to,
of praise, of sympathy, of reputation, of
means-to have manly pride by which
you shall be factor of that which is y6ur
own possession-that is thoroughly saluta-
ry. An honest manhood scorns pretense
and appearances These are the signs of
unripeness, not only. but they are vicious,
bad signs in child.

An Affecting scene.

] From tbs Lexington, KY, Press. La.
On Sunday last rs the venerable Chief
Justice Robertson, stricken by the hand
of death, lay almost insensible to the world
which he seemed fast leaving forever.
while the gigantic brain which. for so ma
ny years, has throbbed grandly to the in
spirations of his genius, barely futtered
with consciousness of life, he expressed q
desire to hear Miss Cary sing the ballad
of ''Old Folks at Home" as if the strains.
of his favorite melody would have power
to call back his soul from the portals Of
the grave which be SO fast was nearing.u
The wish was at once communicated to
Miss Cary. who willingly consented to any
thing in her power to rouse the ebbing
current of life in one who, as a statesman
or jurist has known but few rivals during
the course of long and eventful life. On
reaching the residence of Judge Robert
son, Miss Cary was at once ushered into
the chamber where so much of intellect aud
learning we're fast Pickering out into the
darkness of the unknown hereafter, and
without accompaniment of any kind. rais-
ed her rich contralo voice in the touching
words. "Way down upon the Suwanec Riy-
err" but before she had sung three lines,
broke down, in the intensity Of her emo
ton.
Calming herself, she again essayed the
essayed the ballad. and, while the venera-
bic and stricken man lay drinking her glo-
rious melody, poured her whole soul in the
simple utterances which gave so much plea
sure to one whose giant intellect had in
days agone, fascinated the most talented
of the land. When she had ceased. Judge
Robertson could scarcely express his graf
itfcation by signs, yet signi6ed desire
that Miss Cary should sing for him "Home
Sweet Home Twice did the gifted ar
tiste attempt to comply with the request.
but her emotion was too great, and cbok-
ed with feeling, shewas compelled to leaye
the room. The whole incident was one Of
the most touching and etfecting episodes
that ever marked the death bed Of depart
ing greatness

Horrible Result or Intem eeranc.-

NEW YORK. January 30.--The most
horrible resilt Of intemperance recorded,
was brought to light at No. 1907.
Third Avenue, between Eighty-fourth and
Eighty-ffth streets. The third story back
room of this building was occupied by J. :.
Laughlin, aged twenty-seven years Anpa
Laughlin, bis wife, aged thirty. Susan
Sands. aged twenty-five, aud Bernard
Laughlin, child of four years of age
Thi three grown persons haye long been
shockingly Incorporate, sacrificing even
their food to their insatiate desire for rum.
At about o'clock this evening Charles
Muller, the owner of the house In which
they lived, went to their rooms to see Mr.,
Laughlin. He partially opened the door.
but was almost knocked down by horri-
bic stencil. He instantly shut the door,
and reported to Captain Byrne. Of the
Twenty-third Ward, that he feared Laugh
lin and his family were dead. M IN
Captain Byrne instantly went to tho
house and stepped into the room. but hs
was overcome by the stencil and forced to
retire. However, he managed, by crawl
ing across the room on his hands and knees
to get to window, which he opened. Az
soon as the room was clear Of the gass, he
made an examination, and found the four
persons mentioned lying upon the. bed
dead almost decomposed. The grown peo-
pie had evidently died easily, owing eo
the state of intoxieation they were in, bus
the child had struggled hard against his
fate, and had made many efforts to awaken
its drunken parents, one of his little hagda
being across his fathers face, as though his
last dying effort had been fruitless en-
deavor to awaken him. 1t seems that no
gas had been used in the upper part Of the
building before last Saturday night. when
fixtures were put in the third story front
room. In the room which Laughlin occu-
pied there we're no fixtures, and the pipe.
which led into it was not capped. When
the gas was turned on the Laughlins vefo
ieep in their drunken sleep, from which
hey were never to awake.
