Gems.

Witty sayings are as easily lost as
the pearls slipping offs broken string;
but a word of kindness is seldom
spoken in vain. 1t is a seed which,
even when dropped by chance, springs
up into flower.
Love covers a multitude of sins.
When scar cannot be taken away,
the next kind office is to hide it.
Love is never so blind as when it is
to spy faults.
Be assured that when once a wO-
man begins to be ashamed of what
she ought not to be ashamed of she
will not be ashamed of what she
ought.
Our sorrows are like thunder
clouds, which seem black in the dis
tance, but grow lighter as they ap-
proach.
A woman too often reasons from
her heart; hence two-thirds of her
mistakes and her troubles.
The most brilliant fortunes are of
ten not worth the littleness required
to gain them.
Genius is the gold in the mine;
talent is the miner who works and
brings it out.
Ignorance gives sort of eternity
to prejudice, and perpetuity to error.
Kindness is the golden chain by
which society is bound together.
Women have more heart and more
imagination than men.
Without n rich heart wealth is an
ugly beggar.

distributed in forts ready for use.
In addition to these, they are well
supplied with Spencer rifles capable
OF dlscharging seventeen shots in
succession without reloading, so that
all things considered, the three hun
dred are likely to have pretty rough
time trying to dislodge them. The
Indians, it is true, have had good rea-
son to wish for the determination of
the thieves, and possibly they can be
relied upon to actively cooperate
with the police. In any event five
hundred or perhaps a thousand
thieves fighting for their lives, with
the advantage of a mountain for a
cover, are foes that can not be easily
vanquished. The presence of such a
formidable body of outlaws is, of
course, not calculated to encourage
emigration to the Northwest, and the
effort to disperse it which is now in a
fair way to be made, could not very
well be postponed. 1t is to be
hoped, should the thieves endeavor, in
their extremity, to return to this
country, that they will not be per-
mitted to pass far inside the bound
ary line uncaptured.

NUMBER So.
We Must Live.

People sometimes engage in occu-
pations that are disreputable, or, in
the prosecution of an otherwise re-
spectacle business, resort to means
that are not honorable, and offer as a
plea the wretehed excuse, 1--WE must
live" Merchants cheat; men who
ought to be above 1t sell ardent spir-
IT'S; those who should suffer rather
than do wrong, tamper with evil pur-
suits; and the plea is, 1--WE must
hve! DIR. johnson once reproved a
man for engaging in a mean busi-
ness, and was met with the reply.
'You know, Doctor, that 1 must
live" The brave old hater of mean
ness said, There is no necessity at
all for that" True enough. When
a man must do wrong in order to live,
he had better die at once; that is the
best thing he can do. If it is true
which we very much doubt-that a
man must do a mean thing or die,
we say, by all means, die, and done
with it." There is no shame in that,
but rather honor. But that you
must live-at that eXpense-we do
not believe.-BOstOR Nation.

No Time to Cipher.

There was little incident in the
Second National Bank of Winona,
Mimi, on Friday last, which the Re
publican describes thus: "Some
time during the forenoon a man call
ed in and got some large bills ex-
changed. At noon, while the Occu-
pants Of the bank, with the excep-
ton of Mr.. William GarlOck, jr.,
were gone to dinner, stranger en-
tered and asked to see the manager,
but on being informed that he was
out, the stranger asked if he could
step into the directors room and
wait for him. Mr.. Garlock didn't
exactly like the idea, but consented,
and the stranger stepped through the
open door and took seat in the room,
from which another door communi-
Gates with the interior of the bank.
Presently another man came in and
was instantly recognized by Mr.. Gar
lock as the one who had the bills
changed in the morning. He step
ped to the counter and made a singu-
lar inquiry as to what certain sum
of money would amount to if deposit
ed for a minor child of thirteen years,
and left at compound interest for
term of years which he stated. As
this problem was prOpounded, the in
dividual in the Directors room
moved over to chair commanding
a view inside of the counter. Gar
lock in an instant suspecting ruse
from the actions of the man, quietly
took a revolver from a drawer and in
formed the individual at the counter
that he had no time to figure on any
such question, and the fellow dropped
his head and walked out. Singular
enough, in a minute or two, the
stranger in the Directors room also
passed out. GarlOck was, this morn
ing, presented with a handsome new
revolver by the Directors of the
bank"

Failures in Business.

The man who has never failed in
business cannot possibly know
whether he is honest or not, cannot
possibly know whether he has any
grit in him, or is worth button.
1t is the man who fails, and then
rises, who is really great in his way.
Peter Cooper failed in making hats,
failed as a cabinet maker, locomotive
builder, and grocer; but as often as
he failed she tried and tried again, +"
until he could stand upon his feet
alone, and then crowned his victory
by giving a million dollars to help
the poor boys in time to come.
Horace Greeley tried three or four
lines of business before he founded
the Tribune, and made it worth
million of dollars.
Patrick Henry failed at everything
he undertook, until he made himself
the orator of his age and nation.
The founder of the Herald kept on
failing and sinking money for ten
years, and then made one of the most
profitable newspapers on earth.
Abraham Lincoln failed to make
both ends meet by chopping wood,
failed to earn his salt in the galley
slave life of Mississippi fiat-bOat-
man; he had not even wit enough to
run a grocery, and yet he made him
self the grandest character of the
nineteenth century.
The lesson for every young man is
this: AS long as you have health
and power to do, 90 ahead; if you
fail at one thing, try another, and
third-a dozen even. Look at the
