Oar Neighbor's Good Name.

Anybody can soil the reputation
ofan individual, however pure and
chaste, by uttering a suspicion that
his enemies will believe and his
friends never hear of. A puff of
the idle wind can take a million of
the seeds Of a thistle and do a work
of mischief which the husbandman
must labor long to undo, the float
ing particles being too fine to be
seen and too light to be stopped.
Such are the seeds of SANDER, so
easily sown, SO difficult to be gath
cred up, and yet so pernicious in
their fruits The slanderer knows
that many a wind will catch up the
plague and become poisoned by
his insinuations, without seeking
the antidote. No reputation can
refute a sneer, nor any human skill
prevent mischief.

Sisters.
prepared,

There is nothing so beneficial to
a young man as the companion
ship Of sisters. They laugh him
out Of those awkwardnesses ofman-
ner which otherwise might become
habituaL They refine unconscious
y in all matters Of taste and polite
ness. They nip the little buds of
puppyism which under other cir
eumstances, might 1aunt their fiow-
ering before the less partial eyes.
When brothers refuse to wait upon
their sisters, in order to '.go with the
girls let them remember who made
them presentibie and agreeable to
the girls. 1t is better TO be laughed
at at home than abroad.

Chignans.

Chignons are doomed. Alta GER
tain fashionable wedding the other
day, it was noticed that some of
the bellies came 'sin their own bair''
done upi in a braid behind the ears,
or twiued gracefully around the
head. Good bye, horrible old mon
strosityl Let us present them to
the base ball clubs, and have an end
to this burden we have carried 50
long. The chignon. like many good
things, has been abused. 1t was an
invention, originally, for those who
had thin OF no hair, and was a small
make-belieye braid. Then 1T grew
with the Imagination Of shopmen,
and became a bag of horse hair,
with riyulet Of human hair run
ming over it. Those dropsical spi-
ders who carry diseased copy Of
themselves with them, are only
types Of the human head with this
offensive addition. A pretty little
head is a thing Of the past; let as
hope also of tie future.

The Wife, Secret.
- q MEAR -

I asked Geo. Chesterfield S
s5 wife Of her own heart as
NSS she knelt beside her bed,
her arms upon it and her face hid
den upon them; "can I bear it?-
can 1 bear ftg"
Then her own heart answered,
''You can; for if he does not love
you, you love him"
And she arose and stood beside
her baby's cradle, and saw its IA
ther's eyes look up ather from that,
bis tiny miniature, and took upon
her gentle shoulders the burden she
had never thought to bear.
That morning a letter, accompan-
led by a packet had been received.
The letter ran thus;
"MADAM:-A friend, who does
not desire to see you imposed upon
sends you these, to show you what
man may be. They have been
stolen from the person to whom
they were written, but the good in
tention sanctions the means used
to further it. A WELL-WIsHER."
The wife of two years had read
this, and had opened the packet.
There she found love-letters, writ
ten to some woman who was ad-
dressed as Olivia, and dated one
year before her own marriage-let-
ters that told the story Of a passion
warmer than it was pure, for she
who had awakened it was evidently
wife-letters such as Geo. Ches-
terfeld had never written to the
woman who now read them. Fol
lowing them came. this, dated on
the day before their wedding:
DEAR OLIVIA IL shall write no
more to you. I shall never say a
word of love to you again, for am
about to place myself in a position
which makes it my duty to forget
you. I am to be married to-mor-
row. I have done this to tear my
self more completely from you
You haYe often told me that I
should. You are right. 4 man in
love cannot trust himself For my
sake-may say for yours, also,
Olivia!--I take this step. Ofcourse
1 do not love this girl; but she is a
pure, good woman, and I respect
her. They call her beautiful, also;
but only your face viii be quite
beautiful in my eyes. It rises be-
fore me as I say adieu. 1t viii
haunt me always, but here 1 part
from it. Farewell as though 1
were dying. Perhaps in heaven we
may meet again, and there be all
in all to each other.

How an Advertisement 0pefates,
There is a good deal Of truth in
the following description of the eff
feet ofan advertisement. Constant
advertising eompels success.
The first time a man looks at an
advertisement, he does not see it.
The second time he does not no
tice it. @
The third time he is di1nly cons
cious Of it.
The fourth time he family remem-
bers Of having seen it before.
The fifth time he halfreads it,
The sixth time he turns up his
. nose at it
The seventh time hefeads it ali
through and says, 'PshawF
The eighth time, he calculates,
Here's that : eOnfounded thine
againe'
. The ninth time he wonders Il
there IS anything in it.
The tenth time he thinks it might
suit some ones case.
The eleventh time lie thinks he
will ask his neighbor if he has tried
it or knows anything about it.
The twelfth time he wonders how
the advertiser can make it pay.
The thirteenth time he ra63er
thinks it must be q good thing.
The fourteenth time he happens to
think it is just what he has wanted
for long time.
The fifteenth time he resolves TO
try it as soon as he can afford.
The sixteenth time he examines
the address carefully and makes
a memorandum of it.
The seventeenth time he feels
tantalizsd to think be is shardly able
to afford it,
The eighteenth time he is pain

There is something higher in an
unsuccessful ministry carried out
faithfully to the end than there is
in a very brilliant and successful
ministry. Any man can work when
every stroke Of his hand brings the
fruit rafting from the tree 20 the

season, under every encouragement
by the power faith, through years

A Name in The Sand.

Alone wailsed the ocean strand;
A pearly shell was in my hand,
Ist0oped snd S-rote upon the sand;
Ny Eames the year, the day.

One lingering look bshinG 1 cast
wave came rolllngldga and fast,
Aud washed my lines away.
And 50. me thought, twill shortly be,
With every trace on earth of me; fa
A wave from dark oblivion's sea,

To leave no track nor. trace.
And set w:thl Him -vho.eoants the sands,
And holds the WabeTs IN his hands,

Inscribed against my name,

OF an this thinking soul hath tlsaght,
And from these Aeeting moments caught,
For glory OF. for shame. t

Yours forever,

0EO. OHESTESFlELD.
Helen Chesterfield read this
through, knew it to be genuine, and
cried out in her great agony, "Ob,
why did 1 not die upon that happy
wedding day? Why did I live for
thisY"
Then for two long hours she knelt
beside her pillow, struggling with
herself, struggling until tlast, her
heart gave her the answer we have
already written: ''Yes, you can bear
it; for though he does not love you
you love him."
Then the poor wife tore into frag-
ments those passionate love letters,
and that final one which seemed her
death wound, the whole cruel pack
ct that had brought her so much
woe, and burnt them to ashes on
her hearth, and vowed that while
she lived, her husband should nev-
er know that she had read them.
"FOr he has not deceived me-"
true to me, honorable to me. That
he has been sorely wounded should
not make me hate him, and he shall
never know, if 1 can help it, how 1
suffer. He is always kind, oh,
heaven pity me! always kind; that
must suffice me"
And so she met him, with her
babe in her arms, as calmly as she
had parted from him"
He never saw the great change in
her. He never knew that from that
its life lost its beauty for her-that
even the brightness OF love for her
babe had faded because she knew
that its father had not loved her.
No one knew anything, save that
the roundness left her cheek-that
her eyes lost half their sweetness
that she never indulged in those
moments of reposeful reverie of
which she had not been so fond
Work was her refuge. and she dar-
ed not pause to think.
People called the Chesterfelds a
happy couple. Women envied her
for he seemed a model husband.
She locked her skeleton carefully
up, and gave no one a peep at it.
Years flew on. Two other babies
took the first baby's place. George
Chesterfield grew rich. She had
helped him to become so by frugal
ity and unselishness; and now it
was a pleasure to him to give her
the means Of doing good among
the poor Helen Chesterfeld's car
riage was oftener found waiting at
the door of some wretcbed abode

Judge Blacks Letter.

We redeem the promise made by COM
mencing in this weeks issue of the Freeman
the publication Of Judge Black s second let
ter to Senator Wilson, Of Massachusetts,, and
ask our readers to give it a careful perusal
1t is powerful and peculiarly an original
document, and is stamped with all the re-
markable force and vigor of Judge Blacks
great mind. AS political writer he stands
head and shoulders higher than any other
man of either party in the country. This
controversy has not been sought by Judge
Black, but was forced upon him by the pub
lication of Wilson's first letter, and he is
simply acting on the defensive. He entered
upon the contest as an original friead and
admirer of Mr. Stanton. the late Secretary
of War, and to defend him from what he
regarded as the false accusations contained
in Wilson's letter, although he Wilson
when he published them claimed that they
redownded to St2n.on's immortal honor and
credit. In his present letter Judge Black is
forced to admit the truth of some of Wilson's
allegations in reference to Stanton's double
dealing with Mr.. Buchanan and his Cabinet,
and comments on it r the severcst terms.
Who can doubt. after reading this letter,
that Edwin NJ. Stanton was as base hyp-
ocrite as ever occupied seat in the Cabinet
of an adm iniStration in this or any other
Judge Black makes it so clear,
from Wilson's own proofs. that "he who
runs may read, and the wayfaring man,
though fool. cannot err therein"
