milton, and few kind words from young
shop with lighter heart and a brighter eye
than common. She worked hetter for that

-" | shall be obliged to drop off some Of our
workers." said the manager to her privately,
"but you are becoming so handy and useful,
Margaret that we cannot spare YOU"
The good word OF the morning had helped
her more than she knew to keep her situation.

IL lN your business You are grasping, sor-
did, tricky, some clerk in your employ will
be the same ten years hence, made so by
you. If you are fretlu and enyious as
woman or wife, more than one girl will catch
the fever of your conduct, and somewhere
ahead make her home as unhappy as you
are now making yours

TmF laws of friendship are austere and
eternal, of one web with the laws OF nature
and of morals, But We have aimed at
swift and pretty benefit, to suck a sudden
sweetness. We snatch at the ,lowest fruit
in the whole garden of God, which many
summers and many winters must ripen. We
seek our friend not sacredly but with an
adultsrate passion which would appropriate
him to ourselves. In vain. We are armed
all over with subtle antagonisms which, as
soon as we meet, begin to play, and translate
all poetry into stale prose. Almost all peo-
pie descend to meet All association must
be compromise, and what is worst, the
very flower and aroma Of the flower OF each
Of the beautiful natures disappear as they
approach each other What a perpetual
Disappointment is actual society. even OF
the yirtuous and gifted.

TmE SEcREr.-Twenty clerks j.. store,
twenty hands in printing office, twenty ap-
prentces in a shipyard, twenty Young men
in village, all want to git on in the world,
and expect 10 do so. One of the clerks will
become a partner, and make a fortune; one
of the compositers will own newspaper,
and become an influential citizen; one Of
the apprentices will become a master builder
one of the young villagers will get hand
some fortune, and live like patriarch-b
which one is the lucky indiyidualY Lucky
there is no luck about it, The thing is al
most as certain as the rule of three The
young fellow who will distance his competi-
tors will master his business, who preserves
his integrity, who lives cleanly and purely,
who devotes his leisure TO the acquisition Of
knowledge, who gains friends by deserving
them, and who saves his spare money. There
ars some ways to fortune shorter than this
old, dusty highway but staun,h men Of the
community, the men who achieve something
really worth having, good fortune, good
name, and serene old age, all 60 in this road.

great loohs, close 10y the Shore saw great
bed Of water-liles near the bank, which
were discolored 10y dust from the road rum
ming Just above them. All their beauty was
spoiled. As the steamer passed, great
wave rolled over the lilies, entirely submerg-
inc them and exclaimed, "Oh they are
ali broken in pieces" but as the wave rolled
back. the lilies burst again upon my view,
riding gracefully upon the waters radiant

The only effect of the wave had been to wash
away the dust and bring them out in their

the dust of sin that covers it will all be
washed away, and it will be made fit to

TIE LAST > ARGUMENT AN

,fFrom the Helena Daily Herald I

Few indeed have been the reasons
or arguments put forth by Virginia
City for continuing the Territorial
seat of government in that ill-sOr:cd,

on our southwest border. The main
OD)ccrlOn, TOT want OF any other not
utterly exploded, has been industri.
6usly urged by persons sent through
| the several counties i'll the interest Of
Virginia. 1t is this: The capital once
removed to central point like Helena,
efforts would at once be put forth by
our people to oprOcure an appropriation
from the Territory for the erection of
public buildings. This would entail
additional taxation, and the farmers,
miners aud others have been aud arc
still appealed to OH that account to
vote their disapproyal of the capital
law. Let us see what foundation there
is for argument" of the Virginia
City people and papers. On the Sth
and 9th Of July the Democratic. and
Republican conventions of Montana
met at Helena. The two parties were
pretty fully represented by their d6le-
gates in those conventions. They
came fresh from the people and from
nearly every county and pOpulOus pre-.
cinct in the Territory. Each conven-
ton adopted a platform, and among
other resolves as part of those plat.
forms were the following:
Yho< thu Dou,ooroo n NfontNvSu
deem 1t inexpe,licnt to incur any expense in
the erection ot public buildings for the exec
utiye or other governmental departments oH
the Territory So Ion. Us the same shall re-

it inexpedient to incur any Territorial ex-
pcnsc in the erection OF public buildings fOr
the executive or other governmental slepaft-
ments. SO long as we remain III Territorial
condition.
Arc those declarations not full an.
swer to the untruthful presentations
of this matter by the Virginia press
and those persons dispatched in her
interest to mislcad the Of the several
countiesi 1t was conceded by great
