Making Haste to be Rich.

One of the strongest feelings of the day
is the disposition of men to protect them
selves as far as possible against the IN
certainties which make so large an element
in human affairs. La itself this is true
feeling. Without forethought-calm de-
liberate, earnest, forethought-ma is less
than man. Without it much of his intel
lectual and moral nature lies dormant. OF
late years this feeling has greatly increased
Unquestionably it has done vast amount
of good to society. But it now threatens
US with a maniacal sort OF excitement that
is feeding the money fury of the times.
Under cover of providing against accidents,
the spirit of gambling is working its way
through all classes of society. Risks are
pitted against risks The bread of to day
is hazarded against the bread of to morrow
a most morbid sense of uneasiness as 10
the future is seizing every ones mind and
gradually but fatally all deep sense of the
moral law of the world is yielding to the
wretchedness of doubt and apprehension.
Thousands discard the doctrine OF Provi-
dence. Other thousands scorn the idea and
mock at the sentiment. Money is the only
Providence Holding such creed in every
day matters-a creed that banishes God
from any marts of trade and the enterprise
of commerce, a creed that glorifies success
as the product of energy only, and builds a
mans throne as the ordering and disposing
sovereign of nature--living by such creed,
what else can result but that worst of pro-
family, that basest of blasphemy, which
wipes out the image of God from human
society, and stamps in its stead the bloated
likeness of self?

Collecting my scattered senses, l resolved
to watch the animal, and see if she we're in
any way connected with the noise. 1t wan
ted but few minutes of two. To accom-
pilsh my purpose conveniently, [ placed
myself close to pussy, my back to the clock,

l could almost hear the beating of my
heart while watching the cat and counting
the ceaseless ticking of the time piece. L
felt that it was on the stroke of two; my
heart stood still for an instant, as | heard
the dull, heavy thud-not from the coffin,
though, but from the inside of the nefari-
Gus clock. Away went pussy, while turn
ed with groan of relief to wind up the
time piece, wondering at my stupidity, in
not before remembering that when nearly
run down the weights fell with a heavy
blow as it struck the hour.
La a little while pussy returned to her
bed, and she and passed the rest of the
night without further alarm.
Strange to say, did not escape as easily
as pussy. My locks, of ebon blackness

morning powdered with grey, and it was

A WEDDING RING.

u
Only a well-worn hoop of gold,
Unlit by any glow
OF rainbow gem, ring that told
Its story long ago.
Only circIet dimm'd and thin
With welded years of life,
Whose memories cloud my soul within,
With sorrow shaded strife.
Only g cincture claspin: fast
Two separate lives in one,
That calls to mind the sunny Past,
Yet leaves me still alone.
Only relic of the Joy
In days no more to be.
OF thoughts Regret alone can cloy,
Never again for me.
Only n treasure from the band
No more to rest in mine,
Bat pas. d into the voiceless land,
6eyond the hills divine.
Only pledse.of mutual love,
OF love that near shall fade,
Though Death has calI'd those lips above
That sacred plightings made.
Only an earnest eff the troth
Nor Time nor aught can bend,
But ever still will bind u5 b6th
Unwsv0ring to the eQd.
Small as the ciTclst is, it bound
AIl-cl0se her love to mine,
Now she is gone but .teadfast round
My soul its pledges twine.
Never gain its gold shall thread
Her yielding finger snow;
Nsver-not e'en when graves their dead
Have Ioosed from sleep below.
Never again! But as one thought
In realms Of perfect peace,
Our, hearts shall beat, with rapture fraught
When Death gives me release.

No HoME.-What a misforfunel I How
sad the thought! There are thousands
who know nothing of the blessed influences
OF comfortable homes, merely because of a
want OF thrift, or from dissipated habits.
Youth spent in frivolous amasements and
demoralizing association, leaving them at
mtddle age, WREN the physical and intellec-
tual man should be in its greatest vigor, en-
erVated and without one laudabe ambition
Friends long since lost, confidence gone, and
nothing to look to in old age but mere
liberation in the community where they
should be ornaments. No home to fly to
when wearied with the struggles incident
to life; no wife to cheer them in their de-
spondency no children to amuse them, and
no virtuous household to give zest to the
joys of life. All is blank, and there is no
hope or succor except that which is given
out by the hands of private or public chari-
ties. When the family of the industrious
and sober citizen gather around the cheer
ful fire Of wintry day, homeless man
is seeking a shelter in the cells of station
house, or begging for nights rest in the
building of one who started in life at
the same time, with no greater advantages
but honesty and industry built up that home
while dissipation destroyedithe other.

WHAT HAPPENED To A GIRL About
twelve o'clock one Sunday, as people were
returning from church, lady dressed in the
very height of fashion, with gorgeous gre
clan bend of magnificent proportions tripped
down Second street, Maysville, Ky, in the
most approved style, like a cat treading on
eggs. Just as she reached the corner of Se>
cond and Sutten streets, where the ''gentles
most do congregate, newspaper, neatly
folded, slipped from her skirts and fell on the
sidewalk. A polite newsboy saw it fall, and
called to her that she had 'drapped sumthin'
but she kept her eyes fixed on vacancy and
moved straight without appearing to hear
him. A few steps further another wad fell
from the same region, and there was a d.
mu alton OF the hump on her back The
boy yelled after her again, Il say, Missis,
you're losing your papers!' The only sign
ofhearing him that she gave was quicken
ing in Ter pace as if she was anxious to get
away from those diggins as soon as possible
kindhearted lady who was walking be-
hind her and who understood the situation
at this moment hurried up alongside and
whispered that she was loosing her bend,
but she was well aware of that. She then
turned into friends stairway to repair
damages; hut as she put her foot on the step,
an enormous bundle of papers, a hundred
or so in number, dropped from beneath her
skirts and rolled upon the sidewalk The
youngster, indignant at the treatment he
had received, and the apparent disdain with
which his polite intentions had been met, on
this rushed forward and seized the bundle
of papers and startled the Sabbath stiffness
on the streets with ''ere's your extra La
test from the seat of war!" The lady, it is
needless to say didn't stop 10 take an extra.

The family Of the Junior editor of the
REPUBLIctN spent a few days among
friends in Laporte, last week, while on
their way from Chicago TO their new home
in Plymouth. They were the guests of
Dir. and Mrs. DR.. Holloway, brother-in-
law and sister of Mrs. NJ, whose kind
ness and attention on that occasion, as
well as many others, will ever be CRATE
fully remembered. Many old friends
called to see them while there, who were
urgent in their demands for visit at their
homes: but owing to the warm weather
and nervous prostration consequent upon
tearing up" and leaving the old for a new
home, Mrs. NJ was obliged to excuse her
self 10 her friends, with one exception.
Mr.. Thos W. Miles presented his case in
such forcible way that Mrs. Millikan
and the children were taken to his home
in the country, in carriage sent for Their
accommodation. The warm reception
given by Mr.. and Mrs Miles and the fam
lily could not be mistaken for the merely
conventional kind.
