PRAISE AND FLArrRRY.

There Is no one who does not like
to receive tho approval Of others. -
The yegDg and old, the rich and the
poor, those who are educated. and
those who have no education, are
sensible AZ its influence and stimu-
lated by It's 5essowal. Praise may
sometimes be mistaken for tiattery,
and tla,tery TOR praise but they
are as different from each other as
.tAe purest diamond from the basest
imitation. True praise springs from
candid feeling Of admiration of a
worthy deed or act of merit. 1t
comes from the heart, and has an
existence there before it issues from
the lips. Its an honest expression,
aud generous tribute Of pleasure in
what IS 1t value. There is no rela.
lion in lite when honest praise is net
Of benefit.
Ca the other hand ha.lery is q
decided harm, Flattery is the ex
preston of what was never felt, a
hypoeri,ieal attempt at approval,
aud base endsavOr to accomplish
some selfish end. Ii is easily dis
nnguishable, and is alike degrading
to him who stoops TO give it and him
who bends serviiely to receive it
Yet, LEI no one mistake praise for
flattery. Ii the enc is despicabls,
the other is noble and generous.
Words of love and approval have
frightened and gladdened many a
life that would otherwise have been
passed in loneliness aud discourage
ment.
Many who have made = mark in
the world would have risen to still
higher greatness if words of praise
had been bestowed to cheer and
strengthen them in their struggle,
and KEEP. back until after they had
passed whore they were of no bene-
TT. How much better would it be
to lavish some of the praise on the
living that so often rises TO the lip,
than wal, until after death, when il
is too late to encourage or to inspire
TO new efforts. A truly generous
aud high minded man is quick to
recognize and willing to soknowl.
edge every real excellence in those
wi,hwhom he mingles,
There is no telling how much good
is lost to mankind by the gloomy
spirit that keeps praise and out
spoken approval from those who are
truly deserving of H. A father aud
mother. husband and wife, or broth>
er md sister, do not refrain from ex-
s~si f4g -slssis ai.,sl.shssaro sala.ssa talsg-
she,her felt Justly or unjus,ly; but
when an effort is made on the part
Of another to give pleasure, or after
some act of iilial or fraternal self
sacrifice, or service cheerfully rem
dered, how seldom are loving thanks
or expressions of appreciation be-
slowed as a reward.
Also employers frequently find
fautI on many trivial occasions, but
scarcely ever heed the daily cases
OF fidelity and energy that come un-
der observation. Such indifference
often does a great deal toward i'm
pairing the fidelity and depressing
The energy tina, might have been
strengthened and confirmed bg a
ccw timely words OF approval. -
There is no relation in lie when
honest praise sincerely rendered will
not produce rich fruits of happiness
BY spreading the sunsine Of gladness
aud encouraging new efforts in the
performance Of duty.

THE PUBLIC VS.. NEWSPAPER.

This idea Of working for the pub.
lie for nothing is never applied to
any body but newspaper proprietors.
Court houses, iails, churches, acad-
emies, t., are built tor public
conveniences and used by the
public; yet, who ever argued that,
for his reason, brick>masons, carpen-
ters, plasierers and painters ought
to build them for nothing
There is another unjust imposition
upon newspaper men. Soms public
.pr privatt charity needs help the
editors are called dpoh to have FIVE,
ten or fifteen dollars worth OF adver-
tising--sil Of which must be FREQ
while his neighbors are expected TO
contribute dollar or two, and are
ex,oled for their liber Ity- The
proper course is to pay the editor,
like all other men, for what he does,
and then-iet him contribute as others
do.-AtheRS 'Ydtchman.

The POOR BOY.

Don't be ashamed my lad, if you
have a patch on your elbow. 1t is
no mark of disgrace. 1t speaks well
for your industrious mother For
our part we would rather see a dozen
patches on your jacket than hear one
profane or vulgar word escape your
lips. No good boy will shun you,
because you cannot dress as well rs
your companion and if bad boy
sometimes laugh at your appearance,
say nothing, my good LAD, but walk
on. We know many a rich and good
man who was once as poor as you.

su.prwEEp-A KIND THAT SuRFAssEs
R,pK IN TAxNrSG.--A writer In the st. Louis
s2iobe. Den,ocrd, is enthusiastic over the dis
coyery that q variety Of smart-weed which
grows wild in Missouri in such profusion as
20 be a nuisance SURPRISES bark in its tan
ming qualities. AS its only cost is from the
labor of cutting and stacking it, say 50 per
ton. while bark costs Ia that State Sll2 per
ton, It is argued that hereafter millions
of hides will annually be made IN the Wes'
instead Of being sent 10 the Eastern states
to be canned, which involves the expense OF
the transportation both ways for the ieatoef
consumed In the West, besides paying the
Eastern capitalists and mechanics Tor WORK
which lust "a we'll could be done ut nome
1t is said that this plant yields at least ten per
cent. of tannic acid--an analysis oy the Ne
braska State chemist gives nearly twenty
Two DER cent. from the root and seventeen 10
nineteen per cent. from the plant; hemlocS
and oak bark yielding from eleven to thirteen
per cent.
But even if the results stated by the Ne
brasks chemist are correct, it does not follow
that this weed will make as good leather as
bark. There are peculiar properties fol
masking good leather found in bark that, Sc
far as is generally known, have never been
equalled IN any other material. More or les'
fannie acid Is found In almost every plan
that grows, and in some the percentage o.
tanuiu is as high as from forty'four to lift!
per cent. Yet the leather produced by tn
useof these plants has never come into favor
and that made from some Of them is not onl
bad in color and defective in other respects
but is liable TO return to condition yer
like that of raw hide, which is not the cas-
with bark.tanned leather. The Globe.Derac
crat correspondent says, however, tha
