Thoughts f0r Saturday Night

Flattery hurts the fiatterer as
well as the hattered.
Few consider that enjoyment
must have its moment OF rest as
well as labor.
Every good deed that we do is
not only a present pleasure but a
prop for the future.
Falsehood is often rocked by
truth, but she soon outgrows her
cradle and discards her nurse.
Some men take pleasure i'm using
their money as well as earning it.
sure way of getting it, and get
ting the good of it.
The prospect of want is worse
than actual privation. Man APP
pears to be the only animal in ex-
istence whose exertions exceed his
necessities.
None are SO fond of secrets as
those who do not intend to keep
them; such persons covet secrets
as spendthrift does money for the
purpose of circulation.
The mind has a certain vegeta-
he power, which cannot be who'll
ly idle. fit is not laid out and
cultivated into beautiful garden,
1t will of itself shoot up weeds or
flowers OF q wild growth.
The most momentous question
q women is ever called upon to de-
eide Is, whether the faults of the
man she loves will drag her down
or whether she is competent to be
his earthly redeemer.

The Philosophy of Water i'm
the Milk.
From the Detroit Free Press.

"We knows the public is down
on u.s." remarked the old milk
man as he dipped out the desired
qnart from one of the big cans,
"but in the first place we put in
a leetle water-only a bit,to make
up for the shrinkage, 1t goes to
the big dealers and they amt a bit
keerful when they gifts TO pourin'
in water. They sells it the grocers
and they put in chalk with one
hand and water with the other,
and they are thinking of politics
an | put in too much. The servant
gal goes after milk for the family,
drinks q third of it, and then fills
up the measure with water; and
you see when the family gets it
the taste amt there, and they go
for us poor old men who hasn't a
dishonest hair in our head That's
the way, mister. Gee up, there
Homer!"

A Clerical Scandal in En-
dianapOlis.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct %. There IS
considerable excitement hers over an
other clerical scandal. The Herald
publishes long account Of charges
against the Rev. Mr., Bowling for the
seduction of Miss Eva Kearne. Dow
ling was tried some time ago, and ac-
cording to the Herald was declared
guilty, but majority of the committee
was instructed to reconsider their re-
port. The minority now lay before the
public correspondence showing his
guilt.

Mrs. Tilton is living with her
mother in Brooklyn.
No young lady is SO honest that
she will refuse 70 nook dress.
A sweet Brooklyn belle of six
teen summers has concluded to
abandon the pin-back style of
skirt. She wore hers pinned
back last Sunday and when she
reached her pew she sat down on
the pin.

LET'S LIVE WHILE WE LIVE

What matters though time hasibeen fly
ing,
If now we thoroughly live
The boards Of the past for us buying
Such good as the present can give
What matters how many years count

What matters the journeyngs done,
If with each were higher heights
mounted,
And by each some heaven was won
Then waste of the present in signing
No moment, no zephyr OF breath;
Half living is also BALI dying,
And signing anticipates death

Union ofM q hodist Churches

The question of Union of the
Protestant and Methodist Episco-
pal churches is made the subject
of an Interesting letter printed in
the Chicago Tribune. The writer,
occupying the Protestant Episco-
pal standpoint, is ready to admit
that the surrender, if il should be
deemed desirable to unite the two
sects, must chiefly come from the
Episcopalians, and that the Meth
odists would have short and easy
road to travel in order to reach a
point of unification. Issue is ia
ken, however. with Bishop Ha-
ven's assertion concerning the
Apostolic succession as coming
through John Wesley. and thence
to Coke and Ashbury, the writer
challenging proofthat Wesley was
ever ordained Bishop by Erasmus
of the Greek Church, or that Wes-
ley ever pretended to have ordain-
ed Coke or Ashbury.

An Interesting Bank Case
Decided.

The Washington Star of the 10th
inst. says: The case of William
e. Clark against the National Met
ropolitan Bank was decided yes
terday in the general term. Clark
had deposit of some So, 900 in the
Washington Savings Bank, and at
the suggestion OF some one con-
nected with the Metropolitan bank
deposited there his check on the
Savings Bank for that amount GU
the Saturday before the failure of
the latter bank.
On the same day the bank mes
senger took the check 10 the Sa-
wins Bank, and entering by the
side loor, as messengers are ac-
customeo TO do, he presented the
check, but the teller told him they
were not paying checks that way,
that he must come by the front
way and take his chances with the
crowd that was waiting there. -
The messenger came back and re-
ported the check refused. Notice
was not given Clark until the next
Wednesday. and then only to his
clerk, and the bank failed on
Thursday. The court below held
the Metropolitan bank was liable
for the amount of the deposit, and
gave judgment accordingly. Yes
terday the general term affirmed
the decision OF the court below.

Our BarbarOus Spelling.

1t is noteworthy fact that the English
language is the only civilized tongue in
which the problem of spelling offers any
difficulties: The French, with its peculiar
sounds and silent letters, appears hard to a
stranger; but the correspondence of sounds
10 combinations of letters is fixed. and the
rules once learned the pronunciation of the
word follows from tue writing, and the
manner of writing from the sound, without
variation. In the other languages of
Europe, whether of Teutonic or Latin de-
rivation, each letter has its exaxct value.
and mistakes-provided the ear be correctly
trained-are impossible. 1t is serious dis
advantage of our complicated ard irregular
methods that so much time has to be CON
sumed in learning to spell. What other
people can learn in few hours takes up
the time of our schools for wears. and is
never completely acquired. No rules will
answer, but each word must De learned by
