And then he had his business which alb
sorbed every thought; only he was sorry
that sweet little Belle should be so COM
promised Men don't mind gossip He
worked the harder for month, and then
forgot it?
And Belle? She was bowed to the earth
like a bulrush, to have her name SO
coupled with that of one who had never
dreamed of mentioning love to her. But
this was only the lightest grief Of
course, what ''they said," till all the world
knew it, came but too soon to the ears of
him whom Belle loved best; and it hap
pened, as it always does in this sad world
of ours, the worst that could be vast
parted them forever!
He bore it like man, in silence; but
he thought if Belle could be SO false there
could be no truth upon the earth. So
life's morning was for him o'ershadOwed
by dark clouds of distrust, when it should
have been at its brightest. The college
laurels which he had toiled for, turned to
withered leaves within his grasp; but
only the hard, fixed lines about his mouth
told of all this suffering. He came not
to his home, nor ever sought Belle in any
way
Day after day she hoped and prayed for
his coming, till days ran into weeks; and
weeks into months, and then her weary
heart gave up the struggle, and she neither
hoped nor prayed any more. Not for his
coming, that is! Very tenderly she
prayed for him; that all his life might be
bright and happy; very earnestly she
prayed for herself that God would take
her!
When men cannot love, they thank God
f~,, cd
| to woman's more gentle soul she thanks
God for death!
And so Belle faded, and fell with the
falling leaves. She died on that very day
made SO significant by idle tongues. Turn
back the files, and in the death list there
shall you find it:
'Died, of consumption, on the morning
of October Goth, 1S-, Isabella Stetson,
aged 10 yrs"
1t was a stran ge thing at her funeral
there may be those reading this who re-
member it--there were no flowers about
her sweet, dead face, Or in her hands, or
even on her coffin's lid [ was told that
she ordered that it should be So
''But when within the shaded room,
leaned her coffin over,
Wept, for in her hand she held b @ 4
Aperfect four leaved clOver!' - ~
What meant it that her marble fingers
clasped this perfect four-leaved clover?"
There was one who knew. One who
walks the world alone to-day; one who
will walk on to his grave alone, through
a sad and blasted life; one who stood that
day as white almost as the dead, and
could read in those Withered leaves the
| words her lips might not speak, "Faith-
full until death"
'Died of consumption, - it was said I
say she died of idle tongues! Her grave
in our lovely cemetery has been green
these many years. wish I could cut
deep in the simple slab above it, SO that
all might read, the words:
every idle word that men speak, they
shall give account thereof in the day of
judgment. "-Christaan Union.

The Chain-Gang.

If you were going through the streets
OF San francisco, and saw, as you might
sometimes see, a man at work with hea-
Wy ball and chain fastened to his ankle, you
could hardly help plying him, although
you might know that his own evil deeds
had brought the punishment upon him
1t is dreadful lot to be chained to ball,
and obliged to drag it after you wherever
you go-so dreadful that I wonder at the
vast numbers who are joining the chain
gang of their own free will Do you think
am mistaken? All no! I meet them
every day and everywhere-these, poor
fellows dragging the ball that grows hea-
vier with each added year of life I am
almost afraid that some of you may be-
long to this wretched chain-gang-chained
to the heavy weight Of bad habits Only
yesterday [ saw mere boy buying tobac-
co in store.
Glow can you chew that filthy stuff ?''
said his companion, who was evidently
ashamed of him.
Well, it did come pretty hard at first
said the poor prisoner, examining the saw
DRY morsel into his mouth.
Come hard, did it? And yet he persist
ed until he had succeeded in riveting the
chain and fastening the ball that will
drag him down constantly lower and
lower What dreadful weight he will
find it-a weight upon his health; a
weight upon his morals; weight upon
his pockets; weight upon his energies
curse; a slaves badge, wherever he
may go. He is bondman, not free man,
with the saddest of bondage-not to a
natural appetite that conquered him, but
to an unnatural one that he was at great
pains to cultivate and fasten upon himself
The chain is not very strong at first, and
he fancies he could break it at any time,
and so he goes on until bands of iron and
links OF steel are less strong, and the ball,
that was little thing, grows to deadly
weight.
have only mentioned one bad habit;
but there are scores of others. All up
and down the streets of this Western city
where I write, are saloons, with music
playing behind the screens, and lighted
windows inviting the passers-by. Men
sit around the doorway and under the
awnings, and boys go in and out, or linger
about the entrance. The DEVILS recruiting
offices, some one has rightly named these
dens; and there are the boys and the
young men enlisting in his service, join
ing the dreadful army, and helping the
evil one to fasten the ball and chain that
all his prisoners drag.
Every bad habit is weight. Even lit
tie foolish, awkward habits, that we grow
into without thought, and that are simply
disagreeable and uncomfortable for
others. Take care how you fasten the
chain that, with all your effort, you
may never be able to break, and that, even
If broken, will leave terrible scars.-Lat

Swiss Law for Collecting Debt.

AMONG the customs which would seem
to have remained unchanged since the
Oath of Grutli, must be rcckOned the
mode in which distraint for debt is man
aged in Canton Schwyz On judgment
being delivered, the officer of the court re-
pairs to the debtor and effects the dis
traint. This is done in accordance to a.
form which provides that household
goods are the lastto be touched, anything
else which can be found about the dwell
ing being primarily liable The articles
thus taken possession of are valued by the
legal appraiser, and when their amount is
ascertained to be sufficient to satisfy the
claim, they are sent off bodily to the cred
itor, no attempt being made to convert
them into money by sale at auction or
otherwise.
1t need perhaps hardly be added that
such system is not very popular among
creditors. A Lucerne tailor having sued
a well-to-do Schwyzer for 140 francs, was
surprised to receive, one morning, per
steamer, two old portable stoves. Another
creditor recently received an old carriage,
in lieu of the interest on mortgage; and
third was accommodated with load of
stone, in answer to his demand for pay
ment. It is also reported that doctor,
resident in canton Zurich, sued man in
Schwvz, and was awarded quantity OF
manure. Angry at this mode Of payment,
he emptied the stuff in neighboring
stream, and for this act of contempt Of
court was duly fined. 1t was doubtless
wrong to defile the stream, yet one cam
not wholly refrain from sympathiZing
with the enraged doctor.-Sosss Times.

Take the grain generally used for
bread wheat-and assuming that each
inhabitant requires five bushels per an
mum for his consumption, then the 3,4S7,-
924 people of New England will require
17,439, $40 bushels for their consumption.
But they grow only $50, 100 bushels and
therefore require 16,503,520 bushels of
wheat, or It's equivalent in flour, to be
brought to them from outside. This is
$4,000 carloads of wheat, or 5000 car
loads Of flour, to be brought from the

Our Young Folks.
CHARLEY.S OPINION.

The girls may have their dollies,
Made of china or of wax;
prefer little hammer
And paper full of tacks.
There's such comfort in a chisel!
And such music in a file! $500
! wish that little pocket saws
Would get to be the style!
My kite may fly up in the tree:
My sled be stuck in mud;
And all my hopes Of digging wells
Be nipped off in the bud:
But with little box of nails,
A gimlet and screw,
I'm happier than any king:
I've work enough to do.
