There are minds SO quick to perceive,
so true TO read indications of character
and human nature that they fathom
traits and tendencies which are in no
way akin TO their own. Thus the charge,
that people will not suspect others OF
meanness unless guilty themselves. is
not altogether true.
la case of ignorant jealousy and sus-
picion without reason, q person may tor
ment himself with a reflection Of his
own mean or narrow nature, and at
tribute to others only that OF which he
Is capable. But there Is an intelligent
measurement of character, whereby
those who can may read the degree OF
merit, capacity aud worrhincss OF conf
dente which people possess.
Combinations of 6ualii les indicate the
bent OF character aud disposition, as
surely as numerous winding footpaihs

There are many people who glide along
rather respectfully through life, who at
the core are unsound, unsteady and out
of tune, but the majority who fail, owe
1t to this great moral defect 7if-aF
You never know exactly where to find
such people. They sound their own
praises in love of honor and honesty,
and perhaps identify themselves with

Good intentions are said to pave n
! warm region, because of their failure to
come to time IN the hour of trial. Nov
ertheless good intentions cannot dwell
with adamantine security in these un-
certain natures. To bring a full fri-
ton, good intentions must be augment
ed with wit and capability. But the
| first and surest test of man must be
his motives. If they are right, then, dt
is worth while to test his ability. Some
people prefer a knave to a fool any day.
But neither can stanl. the test OF faith
and trust. The fool may not be posi-
lively to blame for that he does rot
know, but he will make none thelless- q
botch of an important transaction.l You
can count on a knave so long as tits his
interest to serve you. But as the precise
moment cannot be known when he will
decide that his interest and yours clash,
he is an Improbable cO-operator. -sa

the knave to blame for the false keynote

Minister Bancroft has addressed a let
ter to Secretary Fish under date of Ber-
lin, December ed, 1872, in which he
says the Presidents message reached
there the previous Friday and the
part referring to foreign relations met
with universal appreciation. In refer
ring to financial topics Bancroft states
that the seeming indefinfte postpone
ment of specie payments, the failure of
a large number of railway securities TO
pay interest," and increase of the public
debt, has serious effect upon American
stocks, and there is less disposition to
invest in any loan which the United
States might be disposed to invite.
The following is a statement of the
