THE LOCKED.UP PARDON.

In the Isle Of Man, as l was one
day walking on the seashore, 1
remember contemplating wit h
thrilling interest an old, gray, ru-
ined tower, covered with ivy
There was a remarkable history
connected with the spot. In that
tower was formerly hanged one
of the best Governors the island
ever possessed. He had been &C.
cused Of treachery to the kiog
during the time Of the civil wars,
and received sentence of death.
Intercession was made on his be-
half, and pardon was sent, but
that fell into the hands Of his bit
ter enemy, who kept it locked up,
and the governor was hanged.
His name is still honored by the
many, and you may often here a
pathetic ballad sung to his men,
ory, to the music of the spinning
wheel.
We must feel horror-struck at
the fearful turpitude of that man
who, having the pardon for his
fcllow-creature in his possession,
could keep it back, and let him
die the death Of traitor. But let
US restrain our indignation till we
ask ourselves whether God might
point his finger to most Of US, and
say thou art the man. Thou hast
a pardon in thine hands to save
thy fellow-crcature, not from tenn
poral, but from eternal DEATH
Thou hast q pardon suited to all,
sent to all, designated for ALL
Thou hast enjoyed it thyself, but
hast thou not kept it back from
thy brother, instead of sending it
to the ends of the earth ?"-Hugh
Sto,ceW.

water, had been to drag the boat
against the current. If he were
to let the boat 90 he could easil ;
save himself. But not once did
such q thought enter his own
heart.
"Lie down close to the bottom, u
he said, in quick, hoarse voice.
The terror.stricken girls obeyed
the injunction Instantly.
And now, with a coolress that
was wonderful under all cilcum-
stances, Wilson moved the boat
several yards away from the near
! est shore, until be reached point
where ho knew the water below
tho dam to be more expanded and
! free from rocks. Then throwing =
his body suddenly against the boat,
and running along until he was
within q few feet Of the dam, he
sprang into it and passed over with
it. A moment or two the light
vessel, as it shot Out into the air,
stood poised, and then wont plung-
ing down.
The fearful plunge was made in
safety. The boat struck the seeth-
ing waters below, and glanced out
from the whirlpool, bearing its liv-
ing freight uninjured.
(Which was the coward ?" The
words reached the ears Of Logan,
as he gathered with the rest Of
the company, around Wilson, and
the pale, trembling girls he had so
heroically saved. Fair lips asked
the question. One maiden had
spoken to another, and in a louder
voice than was intended.
"Not Edward Wilson," said Lo-
gan, as he stepped forward and
grasped the hand of him he had so
wronged and insulted. "Not Ed
ward Wilson! He is the noblest
and the bravest!"
Wilson made az effort 10 reply.
But he was for some moments too
much excited and exhausted to
speak. At last he said,-
II only did what was right. May
l ever have courage for that while
| live"
Afterward he remarked, when
alone with Logan
at required far greater exer-
else Of courage to forbear when
you provoked and insulted me in
The presence of those who expect
ed retaliation, than it did to risk
my life at the milldam."
There is 8 moral heroism that
few can appreciate. And it will
usually be found, that the morally
brave man is quickest to lose the
sense of personal danger when 9TH
ers are in peril.

INEXPENSIVE HAPPINEss.-The
most perfect home l ever saw
..as in a little house into the
sweet incense of whose fires went
no costly things. A thousand dol
lars served for years living Of
father, and mother, and three chill
dren. But the mother was the
creator Of q home; her relation
with her children was the most
beautiful have ever seen, even
dull and commonplace man was
lifted up and enabled to do good
work for souls by the atmosphere
which this woman created every
inmate of her honse involuntarily
looked irto her 4ace for the key
note Of the day; and it always
rang clear. From the rosebud or
clover-leaf which, in spite Of her
hard house work, she always
found time to put by our plates
at breakfast, down to the story
she had on hand to be read in the
evenings, there was no intermis-
sion of her influence. She has al
ways been and always will be my
ideal of 3 mother, wife, home-mak-
er. If to her quick brain, loving
heart, and exquisite face, had been
added the appliances of wealth
and the enlargements Of wider
culture, hers would have been
the ideal home. AS it was, it was
the best I have ever seen.-He}en

KNOWLEDGE---ITS u y E s
AND ABUSES.

"What an excellent thing is
knowledge" said a sharp looking
man to one who was much older
than himself. acknowledge is an
excellent thing" repeated he; "my
boys know more at six and seven
years of age than l did at twelve.
They can read all sorts of subjects.
The world is . great deal wiser
than it used to be. Everybody
knows something of everything
now. Do you not think, sir, that
knowledge is on excellent thing ?"
"Wby, sir" replied the old man,
looking gravely, shat depends
entirely upon the use to which it
is applied. 1t may be o blessing
or q curse. knowledge is only an
increase Of power, and power may
be a bad as we'll as a good thing"
"That is what I cannot under
stand" said the bustling little
man, chow power can be a bad
thing"
II will tell you," meekly repli-
ed the old man and then went
on:
"When the power of a horse is
under restraint, the animal is use
full, bearing burdens, drawing
loads, and carrying his master
but when that power is uorestrain-
ed, the horse breaks his bride,
dashes the carriage that he is
drawing to pieces, or throws the
rider"
II see! see!' said the little
man.
"When the water Of q large
pond is properly conducted by
trenches, it renders the fields
around fertile but when it bursts
through it's banks it sweeps every
thing before it, and destroys the
produce Of the field"
II see! I see !" said the little
man II see!"
"When a ship is steered Alright,
the sail that she hoists enables
her the sooner to get into port ;
but if steered wrong, the further
she will 60 out of her course"
II see. I see!" said the little
man II see clearly"
"Well, then," continued the old
man, eff you see these things SO
clearly, I hope you can see, too,
that knowledge, to be good
thing. must be rightly applied.
Gods grace in the heart will rem
der the knowledge of the head a
blessing; but without this it may
prove to US no better than q
curse" ~. Y. Observer.

-a . Thesyoung 5usan@to' whom this
was addressed stood facing aao-
? thers person about his own age, on
! whose flashed couutenauce was ar
expression of angry defiance. The
name Of the. person was Logan.
A third party, also a young man,
had asked the question, just Civ
en-, in tone OF surprise and regret.
Before there was time for = re-
sponse, Logan said sharply, and in
a voice of singing contempt
'Yop are poor, mean coward,
Edward Wilson! l repeat the
words; and if there is 8 particle
OF manhood about YOU"
81. Logan paused for an instant.
but quickly added:
ssYou will resent the insult"
Why did he pause? His words
had aroused 8 feeling in the breast
Of Wilson that instantly betrayed
itself in his eyes. The word ''cow-
ard" in that instant Of time, would
: - have. more ;tittin gly applied to
James Logan. But, as quickly as
the fash hleaves the cloud, so quick
ly faded The indignant light from
the eyes of Edward Wilson. What

even if that were not so, | will
not strike YOU"
You're afraid
Il will not deny it. have al

90. -APah! Cant and hypocrisy"
said the other coutemptuously.
