Purity of chaKacrar.

Over the beauty Of the plum and the
apricot there grows a bloom and beanty
more exquisite than tine fruit itself-a
soft, delicate flush Oyerspreads its blush
ing cheek. Now, If you strike yoDr
hand over that, it is gone. The flower
that hangs in the morning impearled
with dew, arTayed rs no queenly woman
ever was arrayed with iewels-Oneo
shake it so that the beads roll of, and
you may sprinkle water over it as you
please, yet it can never be again what il
was when the dew fsll silently on II from
heaven. On frosty morning you may
see panes OF glass covered with land
seapss. mountains, lakes, trees blended
in n beautiful picture. Now lay your
hand upon the glass, and by the scratch
Of your finger, or by the warmth Of your
palm, that delicate tracery will be oblit-
Grated. So there is in youth n beauty
and purity of character, which, when
once touched and defiled can never De
restored; n fringe more delicate thaiA
frostwork, and which, when torn and
broken. will never be- embroidered
lie who hath spotted and spoiled his
garments in youth, though he may seek
to make them white again, can never
wi oily do it, even We're he to wash tlIeus
with his tears. When young nan
leaves his fathers house with the bless
ing OF mothers tears still wet upon hEi
brow, If lIe once lose the early purity ot
character, it is loss that he never can
make whole again. SHeh is the eonse-
quence OF crime. Its effects cannot be
eradieIted; it can only b. forgotten

LEARN A TRADE.

This is what the editor of the Balti-

trade.

while my strength lasts am not at The
mercy Of the world. If my pen is not

press work. / am glad | have good
trade. 1t is n rock upon which the pos
SCISSOR can stand firmly. There Is health
and vigor for both body and mind in an
honest trade. 1t is the strongest and
surest part Of the selfmade man. Go
from the academy TO the printing office
or TO the artisans bench, orif you please,
to the farm for TO be sure. true farming
is trade, and n grand one at that. Lay
thus n sure foundation, and after that,
branch Off into what profession you
please.

clerk who had faithfully served Stephen
Girard from boyhood to manhood
On the twenty-frst anniversary of his
birthday Ee went TO lis master and told
him his time was up, and he certainly
expected important promotion Ia the

The WAR WASTE OF LIFE.-Since
the creation of the world, fourteen
thousand millions of human beings have
fallen in the battles which man has
waged against his fellow ereature-man.
If this amazing number Of men were to
hold each other by the hand, at arms
length, they would extend over IA, 5S3,
:f:f3 miles of ground, and would eBeirele
the globe on which We dwell COS times,
II We allow the weight of a man to be ON
an average one hundred weight (and
that is below the mark, We shall come
to the conclusion that G,20O, 0OO tons of
human flesh have been lnangled, dis
figured, gashed and tTainpled under foctl
The calculation will appear more stri-
king when We state that if only the fore
fingers of those fourteen thousand mil
lions of human beings were laid in a
straight line, they would reach more
than COO, 900 beyond the moon; and that
il a person would undertake to count
the number, allowing nineteen hours
per day, and seven days a week, at the
rate Of G, 600 an hour. it would occupy
that person 336 years. And, awful as is
the consideration, thousands of pipes OF
human blood have been split in battle

day recovered his senses, and on hearing
that young O'COnner was on tiiul for
the murder OF Mr. Blake. requested that
he should be brought to the court as he
had important evidence To give in the
cas-.
\ policeman advanced toward the
bench and whispered something to the
judge, who ordered two policemen to
guard the door, and allow no one to leave
the court room.
The invalid was seated in a chair on
the witness stand, and, after having been
duly sworn, dcnOS-d as follows:
His name was John Rape; on the
evening of the 29th of July, the evening
Oh which the murder was committed, he
was walking in n field near where the
deed was done; saw Mr.. Blake pass by,
and when lac passed him "a little way saw
IL man with Il black mask lump from be-
hind IL ditch and attack his master; he
ran to his assistance and Grappled with
the ass;iilant, tore the mask from his
face, and as he did 50 lie was struck with
some blunt instrument on the head
The man who assaulted his master, and
from whose face. lac tore the mask, was
not the prisoner The man WAS Autho-
ny Bell.''
\ tremendous uproar arose in the
courtroom, and ii rush was made toward
the door,
Bell, seeing that his game was up,
thought TO escape, and caused the eX-
citemcnt just spoken of, but lIe was seized
by the two truSty policemen and placed
in the dock from which O'Conmer lad
been honorably released.
Seeing that all hope was gone he con
fessed his guilt, ,and was made to pay the
penalty of his crime on the sca1Told.
\ year has passed since the above
transpireI.
Boniires blazrd on the hillside, from
which the joyous shouts Of the peasantry
We're echoed in the valley below, where
nestled the village of Ballyglen.
The marriage bells pealed forth their
Joyous anthems, as II marriage cOterie
entered the pretty little church and ad-
vanced up the Hover strewn aisle and
stood before the altar
n very handsome couple they are vino
are about to be joined in wedlock The
bride is dressed in lavender silk and lace,
a wreath of white flowers decorates her
head of golden hair as pretty bride
as ever IL happy groom led from tle
altar.
And so thought Gerald O'COnncr as
the minister pronounced Molly Blake his
welded wife.
And as our story comes to an end we
will bid them adieu, hoping that a long
life of love and happiness will he theirs.
