Science is belief verified: faith is be-
lief unverified. Both make assump-
tions: but science proves its assumptions,
while faith does not or cannot. Science
always begins in faith, while faith may
end in science. There Is no necessary
conflict between the two, though il any
rude imperious faith sets itself against
science it must go down. But science
should not set itself against any unveri-
fed belief. for that belief may at any
time become the grandest science, <as
witness keplel's pregnant guess
Science is ever encroaching on the do
main Of faith, dissipating many fond
belief, but placing others On everlasting
foundations. Without faith there could
be no science, for in the ascertainnlent
OF knowledge we must begin with as
symptoms. The whole universe is
closed against us except we first have
faith. But without science faith ends
in darkness. 1t must ever seek verifica-
tion. 1t must not be floating dream,
but find solid ground on which TO stand.
Some have nothing but faith; they ne
cessarily have crude ideas, weak ciiarac-
ters and narrow feelings. Others have
nothing but science; their vision is cor
rect, but too limited for superior devel-
opment. The science of to-day, with all
itS tudStCliouS IcsQltS, Is nOG UT0du
enough tor all our wants and desires.
We must ever go beyond it into the in
fiiiite unknown. We must continually
make beliefs which we cannot verify ;
ii we did not, science itself would die.
We have Imagination as we'll as UNDER
standing, and without the flight of one
the other would meyer be enlarged.
The Imagination must have clear eye,
but not clipped wing. II 1t can
only flutter along the shores of sscer-
tained knowledge, the universe will no
more open to MS Its wondrous treasure
houses. 1t was Newton's faith that gave
us Newton's science. We must believe
at times in things that We cannot prove,
else the universe Is no longer immeas-
urable to US; we are cabineJ, cribbed,
confined. OF course l cannot impose
my faith on any one. Faith is individ-
l,a., while science is universal and i'm
perative; we cannot reject its teachings.
But faith is elective. We do not ac-
cept it because it Is dead certainty, but
because it is Il glorious enchantment, a
living dream, n wondrous romance, an
Unreasonable JOY that we cannot handle
or touch, too fine for the microscope,
too immense for the telescope. Science
is. indeed, wonderful in its revelations
and possibilities, its facts and, their
thOusand-fold meanings and beauty, but
with tears l should bury 1t in Its gor.
geous tomb il faith were not beside it
with its glittering wings TO give it fresh
life. and lead it on with immortal hopes
springing to perpetual vcrification from
the unknown.

the same ungenerous conceit toward her.
They call this pleasure, ana pursue hap
piness la. hating each other as heartily
as possible. Small ambitions and rival
ries are thus excited, but nothing great
is thereby accomplished, neither can
their satisfaction compare with the place
and restfulness of q mind unknown, TO
disdain for a fellow-crcature. The idea
that one person is better than another Is
grounded in prejudice. bigotry and i'm

In the distant past there are glimmers
Of modest worth having been brought
to the front and appreciated. Such
state of affairs is SO remote that it Is as
sociated with knee-breeches and revolu-
tionary times. The children of these
uuregenerate DAYS of bold assumption
of quackery and llumbng, listen with
skeptfcism to grandmother's tables re-
lating to the subject when she was
girl.
Imagination serves good purpose
when not over indulged. Like any 9TH
er excess, It becomes Incorporate and
makes men mad il not kept in check by

creatures as the best of people are,

of Judgment with some exaggerated
merit or endowment, :. =.
A popular whim of Imagination at
this time is, that every man is entitled

business and places many people In a
ridiculous position when they assume to

The-philter of the Greeks was, as its
name implies, a love-potion: and since
"all Is fair In love and war" it was
looked on as recognized weapon, not
only to be used but also To be guarded
against. Hence arose the custom of
applying counter-charms, which, when
employed with the cabalistic songs pre-
scribed for the occasion, were sure of
success, unless q more powerful one OF
the former should coanteract the spells
of the officiating witch. The ingredients
mingled in love-potion were such that
1t may well have tasked all the gallantrp
of reluctant lover to accept the prof
fered cup. Some of the components
most In favor were the bones OF toads and
snakes, portion OF the head Of new
bern foal, called " hippomanes," the

DEFORE the beginning of years
I'D There came to the making OF man
Time, with gift of tears,
Grief, with glass that ran!
Pleasure with pain for leaven;
Summer, with flowers that fell;
Remberance, fallen from heaven.
And NJ adness, risen from hell!
And the high gods took iu hand
Light aud the falling of tears,
And q measure of sliding sand
From under the feet Of years;
And froth and foam OF the sea,
And dust of the drivelling earth,
For bodies of things to be
In the places Of health and of mirth.
From the minds of the north ana south
They gathered as unto strife;
They breathed upon his mouth;
They filed his body with life!
Eyesight and speech they wrought
For the wells of the soul therein;
A time for labor and thought;
A time to serve and to sin!
And fashioned with weeping and laughter,
And moulded with loathing and love,
With life before and after,
And death beneath and above
That his strength might endure for spar
With travail and heavy sorfow-
The hcly spirit of man.
They gave him light in his ways,
And love, and a space for delight.
Wirh beauty, ana length of days.
And night, aud sleep in the night!
His speech is IL burning fire!
W it'll his lips he trayaileth!
In his heart is blind desired
In his eyes fereknowletige Ofdeath!
lie weaves, and is clothed with derision!
Sows, and he shall not reapt
. His life is watch and vision,
Between sleep and "a sleep!

The rich hues and perfumes of the
blossoms of hot-house plants outshine
the delicate wild flower, and a cuiti-
waited woman of the world who Is all
repose and self-possession, captivates,
when a modest, unsophistocated woman
would appear constrained, and blush
from commingling Of awe and tim
idity.
Bushes are not always becoming.
Those who are willing to accept modest
mantling of the brow instead of q pro-
per understanding of social require
ments and reasonable intelligence upon
usual topics of consideration are easily
satisfied.
Some bushes are pretty. The timid
girl who bushes upon receiving first
ayowal of love is picture of grace and
beauty. Take away the blush aud the
spirit of the picture is gone. In it you
reap innocent ignorance of the ways of
the world and the sufferings of women;
the dreams and hopes of a future
fraught with gratified wishes and no
disappointments; and most of all. faith
in the lover who whispers music to her
heart. Se
Bushes seldom survive initiation into
realities. Few lives run smoothly enough
to retain the early bloom untarnished,
without which bushes are not often
seen.
Some people. however, blush from a
lack of self-reliance. Never having de-
pended upon themselves for anything,
when by chance thrown upon their own
resources, they tremble aud grow red in
the face. This may be mistaken for
worthy modesty. when in truth it is
caused by conscious weakness and un-
tutored faculties. ...
1t is not a fault if a person cannot
blush, excepting for shame when there
is no occasion.
Bushes are not always genuine. They
sometimes tell story which has no
foundation excepting In caprice. As
the tears of an actress are ever ready TO
flow wien the portrayal of a play bids
her prepare to weep, SO may the blusles
of a coQuettish woman respond ut her
bidding to enhance her skill i'm entang-
ling the hearts of men. Sly creaturei
how she can look down, sigh, blush and
fiatters-until her acting is so complete
that she is cOmmisserated as another
victim to his lordship's irresistible fas-
cinations. Poor thing" he pities her,
but ''never had any serious intention."
That is about as near the truth as half
the men approach in regard to women
The best acting is not found behind
the footlights, nor the most artistic plays
either or high comedy or thrilling
tragedy.
Bushes are indigenous with maiden
timidity, and are beautiful in their
spontaneousness. So are wild flowers,
which peep their tiny heads among the
brush aud coarse growth of the forest,
beautiful. But bushes and wild flowers
are for the spring time. They are not
made of stern material that survives the
heat of summer, the decay OF autumn
and the frosts of winter.

SILENT SORROW.

GPEAK not Word to break the spell,
= That blinds a heart iu silent sorrow,
No one can know of grief SO well
As he who hears u funeral knell
And thinks of many lonely morrow.
Noone can share the weight Of grief
That bows the form of all who bear 1t,
No sigh or tear can give relief,
No smiles bring joy. however brief,
Or finger on the lips that wear it.
No comfort can friend impart
In words however kindly spoken;
No hand can dry the tears that start.
From the cailled fountains of that heart,
When once the crystal bowl Is broken.
But from each calmer, holier thought,
Can we alone our comfort borrow,
W e find il sooner when untaught,
joy comes to US again unsought.
And we forget our silent sorrow,

of the elections show that the number
of National Liberals and Progressists
returned is about even, the other par

TIE PUBLIC PRINTING.

A SENATE COMMITTEE ORDERED TO INVESTIGATE
TIE CHARGES AGAINST THE CONGRESSIONAL
PRINTER-wHAT THE CHARGES ARE-AN EN-
PLANTATION By FRIENDS OF MR.. CLAPP.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRGBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, May 2G.-On motion of Senator
Howe to-day the Joint Committee on Printing was
instructed TO investigate the charges made by Rvcs
& Bailey against Congressional Printer Clapp.
These gentlemen were formerly the publishers of
The Globe and when during the last session of Con-
gress, proposals for printing the debates were in
vited they submitted bid. On the last day Of
the session the Congressional Printer was ordered
to print the debates until contract
was made. and he has since done it, giving
very general satisfaction. But Rives d Bailey arc
very anxious to get the work back, and seem
TO think that if they can break down Mr. Clapp they
will accomplish their end. One of the charges they
make is that there has been defalcaion Of $4,000
Persons connected with the Government Printing
Office and wholly familiar with its working deny
this, and explain the discrepancy which these gem
tlemeA think they have found in this way: Tho
Government Printer makes an annual report of the
amount of paper on hand at the beginning of the
year, the amount purchased and charges to various
accounts the amount used. The last item, with the
amount on hand at the end of the year, is
found to amount to less than the first two
From this it is concluded that there
has been each year large amount of paper not ac
counted for The explanation is that the paper is
not charged to the several departments and to Con-
gress until the documents for which it is used
completed and delivered, 50 that any given day
there will be large amount of paper in the hands
of the printers and binders for which the Govern
ment Printer has received credit but the man
who has the custody of the paper keeps strict
count which will balance at any time by entering
