need Of dram, along with the attractions OF jol-
ly associates, and he wanted TO pay his score.
But now he resolved TO take IL home.
He took seat in tho room where his wife
hrst, for he felt gruR and gloomy and little
tender withal. The talk Of Mrs. Webster stupg
him to the quick. He used TO think himself a
handsome man; perhaps his coarse habits had
changed all that.
His little daughter Mary, not yet ten years
old, came and climbed on his knee, and then
remembering, she said
"Papa, I'll run and get bouquet l made for
you this morning out Of flowers In the gar
dsn," she ran and brought the flowers, q bunch
Of morning glories now all faded and dropping.
"They are the only flowers I could get In the
Garden," she said, sand they are all spoiled"
she said oomplainingly; and she held back, as
doubling whether 10 present them or throw
them away.
"hand them to me Mary. You did the best
you could, said her father, trying by blunt
manner 10 hide his real feelings.
"Lets see--morning glorles! Bright things
10 the morning, and pretty enough; but they
don't hold out. They are like people, aren't
they Nary"
His wife, emboldened by this bit of moral
izing ventured to put in wsrd.
"They are very much like ourselves, Philip.
When we were first married oil was sunshine" I"
"But 1t has faded away like the morning glo,-
ries," continued Philip. "Well, now, If there s
any flower that keeps its color all the year
round let me know and III buy it."
As Philip said this, his face colored, for
somehow the thought ladicrously, ,and yet plain
ly struck him, that his nose was q flower OF
that descrption-all the year round; and 1t
seemed to him that his wife and little Mary
tso were divining his thoughts
He arose, and as he did SO he caught sight

the red paint on It," he rehected.-"That's the
paint that cost so much." Opening his pocket
book he handed his wife ten dollars.
"Take this, jane, and I'll double 1t next
month; YOU will need 1t to get something
new"
sand yourl buy me a photograph album,
wont you papa?" said Mary.

but what kind OF an album do you want me 10

"Well, Mamie," said Philip as he drew the
little girl 10 his bosom, for his mind was fully
made up, and he acted a. ifthe best way to be
man again was 70 be candid and tender; ~
shall pay no more money for nose paint, it costs
TO much" And then, turning to his wife, who
was an astonished listener TO his new way Of
talking, he said:
"That's just so, jamie; am done throwing
money away on Van Lennep and all his tribe.
Wen be happy yet, for mean to save ss 60
along; and maybe If waste no more money on
the paint Mrs. Webster told me about, the old
moi ming glories will come back again and stay
for o life time"

RELIGIOUS.

THE PROFIT OF GoDLINEss.-Now, godli-
ness Is profitable" In this. Is Il profitable 10
have your piano out of tune, so that there Is no
two notes In any Of the octaves on the whole
keyboard that are at peace? Is 1t a hard thing
to have that instrument brought into tune If
you hear its wailings, 1t seems very hard, but 1t
Is not. Every single chord that is being screw
ed up and brought into unison with some CEN
tral point or pitch Is working toward harmony,
sweetness, and musicalness.
And is Ii not good that the soul should be
tuned? that the sub-base, the base, the tennor,
and all the higher ranges OF notes should be
brought into relations with each other, so that
from the top to the bottom the whole shall be In
harmony? Aud by what principle Is this done?
By the principle Of subjection. by the principle
Of graduation, as established by God In nature,
Is discovered by reason, and as ab,indantly IL
lustrated in Scripture, which contains the sub
limest reasoning In spiritual things that was
ever known In this world.
When, therefore, call men to religious life
and say, "You must practice selfdenial, ," do
not know that religion demands IL more than
anything else but II demands 1t better. No
man can live and not deny himself. A wicked
man denies himself. A lazy man denies him.
SELF A glutton denies himself. Everybody
denies himself. The question Is, whether It
shall be done according to the principle that
God lays down, by which you will have the lib
erty, the coordination, and the coperation of
every part of tie mind, or whether it shall be
done partially, and for low aud really selfish
purposes

the opportunity Of gaining fine classical edu-

follow my footsteps as merchant. This was

A Hun DRED Tons OF GoLD.-On August
18th, there arrived at the Sub-rreasury in New
York $4,000 900 in gold coin. 1t was forward
ed by Adams Express Company from the Sub
Treasury In San francisco. The weight of this
coin was about four tons. 1t was packed in
twelve strong iron chests, each about two feet
and half in length by sixteen inches in breadth
and depth.
The gold consisted entirely of double eagles,
enclosed In one hundred stout canvass bags,
each containing $4,000. Every bag bore the
seal Of the Assistant Treasurer in San Francis
co, and each of the chests had three combina-
tion locks. The explanation of the combina-
tions were sent to Assistant Treasurer Hill
house in two instalments, one by mail and one
by express. This was to prevent its ,possi ible
use in the event of its falling into unworthy
hands.
The car containing the treasure was guarded
by nine armed men. As an additional securi-
ty the express company wGs held responsible to
the government for the safety Of the gold. On
its arrival here It was carried in express wagons
to the Pine street entrance of the Treasury,
where the chests, which weighed between six
and sever hundred pounds each, were placed
on trucks and rolled into the coin division. The
bags were empted and the contents counted by
weighing. By this mode, the absence of sin
gle piece would be instantly detected, as the
exact weight of $4,000 in gold Is registerad.-
ABOUT VI OOU,OUO OF the treasure IS iresn from
the mint, and this it was necessary merely to
weigh. The remainder having been In circula-
tion, is to be examined piece by piece to see
than every one is genuine.
Mr.. Ashley, the chief Of the coin division,
says that so large an amount Of gold Is rarely re-
ceived in the Sub-Treasury at one time. 1t was
sent here by the Treasury Department because
New York is the only city where the Govern
ment needs to keep large quantities Of gold for
mercantile purposes. AT the close of business
yesterday there was a balance of gold coin in
the Sub-Treasury of s4s, ,222 ,64S.79, or about
one hundred tons of gold. This is ali unusual
ly large. heavy supply. The one reason for il Is
tue light shipping demand, only $11 900 900 hav-
ing been delivered for shipment since January.
This is less than half tho amount in the corres-
ponding period of last year. In addition to this
the Sub-Treasury contains about $40 ,000, 900
in gold bars, $4,000 in silver, and about s32,-
100000 in currency.-N. Y. Paper.
