A TRUE TEST.

A writer on ''Social Refinement"
says, "a true test of low inStincts
and defective breeding is found in
persons who are ever ready to pass
unkind audi lliberai criticisms on
the appearance aud apparel of those
whom fate OF fortune has denied the
means for external decOrat ion and
fashionable display" Aud he
might have added, with equal
truth, that, in a large number OF in
stances, the persons thus criticised
are the proud peers of those 10y
whom they are na,.e the subjects OF
jest and ridiculp- There is many a
noble soul encased in an uncOmeiy
PHI, steal tenement, and the purest,
brightest Virtues are often found
wrapped in the soiltd aud faded hab
ilImei.tS of honest poverty. while the
converse of these is not untrequ-ut-
ly seen arrayed i'll silks and Satins,
ami ia all the gorgeous paraphcrna-
liza OF prid,. and arrogance. True
nobility cOmmiserates the mistOr-
tunes of others, and extends the
boon of $, mpathy ard kindness !;
but mediOcriry laughs a; the mar'yr
dom Of fate, and revels in the dis
appointment. OF lis SuperiorS.

A MEXiCAN TRAGEDY.

A young officer in the Mexican
army fell III love with il lady in PA
ebla. She promised him her hand
in case he would resign his commits
sion. He did SD bought IA hacienda
and then returned TO claim the
pledge. She, III the meantime, had
been wnued and won b> a,,nthrI.
Upon the first visit ot her first low
er. she informed hlm that her heart
had Undergone Il Change. The
passionate lover became frantic, and
upon leaving told her that he would
call the next day. and if she prcsiS-
ted he would Kill himself in her
presence. He called the next day
and was prrSiStently refused IN the
presence OF her mother, whrreupon
he drew a revolver, and exclaimed
that the love which was not foI him
should not he enjoyed by another,
and fired ut her heart, but she rose
and received the ball in her abdO
men. He then shot himself. The
insane assassin died the same al

A STUPID SERVANT GIRL.

Max Adeler tells the following
story of a servant girls blunder ::
Kick baum read somewhere that
Do Lewis advised men with a tens
dancy to become bald to have holes
punched in the tops of their hats.
Aud SO when krickbaum purchased
his new winter hat he had Il small
sheet iron plate perforated with
large holes aud set i'll the crown.
That WAS on Tuesday. On Wed
neS,lay Mrs. Krick baum got Il
new hired giil, who saw the hat on
the chair Ill the dinInsroom. and
imagining it to be Il patent colan-
der of some new kind she removed
it to the kitchen. When Mrs.
krckbaum came down stairs at
noon 10 see bow dinner was getting
on she found the girl straining the
boiled cabbage through the sheet
iron ventllator in Krickbaum's high
hat and swearing in the Bally buh-
deem dialect because the holes
were so big and the coiander St"
limser. That night when krick
baum wanted to start for the
lc't8c It cf an W huit ltI HIS udt.
lille Mrs. I[rick baum sat still and
tremhled. But when he became ex-
aSperated and commenced to pick
mp the chairs and jam them down
hard SO as to relieve his feelings.
she began to cry, and revealed the
whole horrible truth to him. Ii
may have been done in quicker
time, bns We doubt it. We say
that there may have been in foi
mer ages some hired girl who pack
ed her trunk aud peltrd down STAIRS
and was hustled out in the street
quicker than Mrs. Ktickb anm's
hired girl bat the fact has not
been proved. He wears an upper

MENTAL ALIENATION,

the country at large:
a very touching case of mental

WHAT CAUSES HARD TINES

1. Too many spend money and
too few earn ii.
= Too much money is spent
wuStrlull, and uStl.>Sly, and too
little saved and made productive
and accumuiatlve.
3. We buy too much abroad that
we ought to produce at home.
I. We buy toe mach that we do
not pay for cash dOwn-toO much
of what we buy being what We do
not actually need.
>. We are TOO waStptul, know too
little how to tconolniZ,,, and have
too little disposition t" .io 50.
q. We are 700 Suecuia IKE, I'M
Scrnpuiou> and actually dishonest
in our efforts to make money.
:. Too many OF us prefer idle
ness to industry, and too few of us
know how to work and derive
pleasure and profit from our la
hor.
s. We spend too much time
learning what is not useful. and too
little informing ourselves upon the
best methods of promoting our ma
tidi i'itSptiitS.
Q. We know too much of politics,
speud roo much time and money as
politicians. and know to little about
political economy and the science OF
Il stable aud economical, successful
public policy.
10. Our actions are governed too
muc! by passion. Prejudice and par
tiSan feeling, and not enough by a
broad, intelligent. liberal and patri-
otic conception of the duties which
American citizenship involves.
IL. We are TOO superficial and I'M
patient. aud lack the clear purpose
and persistent, patient application
necessary TO permanent success.
IL. We depend too much upon
our "Sharpness" and "cnteness.7
and readiness to take advantage OF
circumstances, and not enough up
on earnest. honest labor.
-. We talk and read too much,
ana think and act to little.
II. We spread ourselves ever
too great surface, and thus TAIL to
dig deep enough i'll one place for the
nuggets that will surely enrich us.
Is. We lack in that higher moral
ity which trOwns down venality
and elevat-s and encourages purity
of life, prubity of conduct, and il
scrupu!nus regard for ii good and
honorable name.
16. We do not teach our children
that they must, nor how to, earn
heir own living, aud are too will
ling to commit them to a life of ca
Sy unscrupuIousness, depending on
their skill as make-slIiftS rather
than upon their solid Acquire
mentS as men and women.
II. We roll about too much like
stones that gather no m">s, en-
rirhibS carrying e operations and
specializing capitalists. and detrhud-
ing our selves OF the substantial
profits of our own industry.
Is. We are DIVORCES OF show Iath-
er than substance, and pay homage
to the glitter OF Il success which
is but il robe covering filth, rotten-
leSs and corruption-social. com
mercial and political.
