Moral Culture is the True End of Life

Men ask, What have you got? What
do you know =? What can you do2
God asks, What are you? On the ans.
wer to that question hangs our des-
tiny. Then all things, all incidents,
all gettings, all losses Of this life,
should be measured by their outcome,
the resultant effect on our character.
A possession is good if it makes us gen
erous, if, i'll the use of it, We develop
all those right faculties that pertain to
its handling. But if not, woe to the day
on which the windfall came Whether
it shal! prove to us godsend, or n
curse, depends entirely upon our use of
it. A loss may be n good if through
its means we develop these graces that
come from the patient endurance of
life's hard aud heavy things. In either
case we are not to estimate them by
what they are in themselves. This il
but superficial, and thus false view
to take. What they make of us is what
determines their value. One of the
first times | ever preached without
notes, friend said to ne. "One disa l.
vantage is, that you haven't got the ser
mon, now it is preached" eyes" |
said, "but I've got tn practice of going
without it" A botanist makes fine
collection of leaves and flowers, and
grasses. When DONE the fire takes it. "
But the best part-the drill and prac-
tice and knowledge acquired in making
the collectiOn-these are left, and they
are worth more than dozen cOllec-
tions. The practice and study of col
lecting makes even botanist. But one
might own the collection forever and
know nothing about it. A painter by
long years of work becomes skilled in
eye, and finger, and judgment and i'm
agination. At the age of 80 he lis
all his pictures to some one rich enough
to buy them. He has left only eye and
finger, and Judgment, and imagination,
and the skill of all these. But these
are as much superior to one of his pict-
ures as God is to the earth he has
made. He is an artist. But the man
who fills bis house with his paintings
may be only clown. What he becomes
in his work is worth more than all he
produces or what he gets paid for it,
You can buy pictures but you can't
buy genius and skill.-M L SaVage.

greeted with shouts aud laughter from
her companions, for so well has the
work been done that her head has the

this wholesale cropping, insisting upon

The Child kidnapped in Philadelphia,

1t is known everywhere that little
four-year-old boy, the son Of Mr.. Q. X.
Ross, Of Germantown, has been "kid-
mapped" That occurred on last We'd
ncsday two weeks ago. July j.. The
little fellow was playing with brother
a year or two older, on Washington
lane, Germantown, when two men, who
were driving in a wagon along the lane,
stopped to talk to the children and Of
fcred them some candy. The missing
child, understanding that he could get
ride in the wagon, childlikc, took nd
vantage Of the opportunity, and with
his older brother, got into the wagon.
The men then drove off with both.
Some hours later, the wagon having III
the meantime been driven into the
northeastern part of the city, the Older
boy was Induced to leave the wagon
and his younger brother on the pres
ence of buying some iire-crackers, and
when he returned the man and the
wagon and his brother were gone. This
older boy was soon returned to his
home, but since that time the younger
tIllt HAS IOb Hl'u OttlL ~ any L'itIi''ly
eve, and his whereabouts are unknown
to the family aud police authorities.
There was some delay in getting word
to the chief of the detective police, but
since he lirsS got information, we believe
he has worked earnestly, diligently and
faithfully to get upon the track ot the
child and the thieves without intermIs-
sion to the present time. Whether all
has been done with the best judgment
or under the best advice, it would be
premature to say mt present. 80 the
matter rests without result.
The declared object Of the thieves,
or OF those for whom they are acting, is
to extort large sum Of money by way
of ransom after the manner of the blu-
taI cutthroats called brigands,' in
Italy and Greece. Herein they have !
committed fatal bluuder, as well as Il
most alrocious crime. This is not the |
city in which such business can be car
ried Oh. We have had traffic made of n
great many extraordinary subjects, but
an attempt to trade upon the heart-ago-
nios of the mothers of whole commu-
nifty will not do. There is but one way
open to the brigands, and that is to re.
store the child with the least possible de-
lay, aud then get away from Philadel-
phia as far and fast rs possible. .-PhU-

A Boston dispatch states that after
the inquest into the murder the child Katie
Culran by Jesse Pomeroy, three physicians,
thinking there must be some cogent reason
for his conduct, called upon his mother, who
was frank in her answers 10 their questions.
She said her husband was butcher, and is
now lugger in the market, and that while she
was pregnant with Jesse she often went to the
slQughter-honse to see the killing of the ami
mails in which she took particular delight
and she had even assisted her husband il his
work, No sooner had Jesse grown large
enough to have knife in his hands than he
was continually using it, thrusting it into
pieces Of wood and when he was older, into
pieces Of meat. There seemed to be no doubt
that he was " marked just as other children
though in different way.
