The Cheerful Face.

Next to the sunlight of heaven is the
sunlight of cheerful face. There is 10
installing 1.-THE bright eye, the n
clouded brow, the sunny smile-all tell
of that which dwells within. Who has
not felt its electrifying influence? One
glance at this face lifts us at once out Of
the arms of despair; out of the mists and
shadows, away from tears and repining,
into the beautiful realms of hope. One
cheerful face in household will keep
every thing bright and warm within.
Envy, hatred, malice, selfishness, and a
host of evil passions may Turk around the
door, they may even look within,
but they never enter or abide there ;
the cheerful face will put them all to
shame and fight. 1t may be very pain
face, but there is something in it we feel
we can not express, and its CHEEKY smile
sends the blood dancing through our
veins for very joy we turn toward the
sun, and its warm and genial influence
refreshes and strengthens our fainting
spirits. ALI there is world of magic
in the plain. cheerful face! 1t charms US
with spell of eternity, and we would
not exchange it for all the soulless beau
ty that ever graced the fairest form on
earth. 1t may be very little face-one
that we nestle upon our bosoms, or sing
to sleep in our arms. with low, sweet
lullaby; but 1t is such bright, CHEEKY
face! The scintillations of a Joyous spirit
are flashing from every feature. And
what power it has over the household,
binding each heart together in tender
ness and love and sympathy. Shadows
may darken around us, but somehow
this face ever shines between, and the
shining is 30 bright that the shadows
can not remain, and silently they creep
away into the dark corners, until the
cheerful face is gone. 1t may be a
wrinkled face, but is all the dearer for
that, and none the less bright. We lin-
ger near it, and gaze tenderly upon it,
and say, Heaven bless this happy face!'
We must keep it with us as long as We
can, for home will lose much of its
brightness when that face is gone.

The Wheel OF Fortune.

About two years ago two Indianapolis
commercial tourists drew portion of
the capital prize at the Louisville Libra
ry Lottery, one acquiring 81 500 and
the other $1,000. The $500 man at
once bought an interest in the grocery.
house by which he was employed, at the
same time keeping his former position,
his experience and capital realizing an
increase of $1,000 or 81, 900 per annum.
This was not enough, however, to satisfy
his ambition, and in two or three months
he found it expedient to sell out to his
partners, who gladly paid him 81, 500 for
his interest. In six months he reached
his bottom dollar and was in search of a
situation. For time he was employed
about ticket scalping Office, and after
ward travelled for three wholesale houses,
never retaining position longer than
month. Business men eyed him with some
thing bordering on suspicion and he could
no longer get work. He found plenty of
time for drinks between meals, though,
and at last, overcome by his misfortunes
and drink, he determined to end his
mortal career, and night or two ago he
was trying to buy morphine or arsenic

strangest and most shocking of tragedies.
The fend at last gave his true name as
William King Thompson. He proposed
the destruction Of an ocean steamer In
order TO realize insurance. With this
purpose he bought explosive material in
America, took Il to Germany, and there
had clock-work made, which was set TO
strike in ten days. He calculated that
the explosion would occur in the hold of
the vessel and in mid.ocean. There is a
report that he thought first of destroying
the Deutschland, and prepared his infer

vessel. Whether he changed his mind
as to the vessel, or the delay was acct
dental, IL not known. II is not clear
whe Their the explosion resulted from the
clock-work or the rough handling of the
baggage. Immediately after the catas-
trophe Thompson tried to kill himself.
His crime is the most horrid that has
been known among men. He was ma
tive of Brooklyn, and blockade-runner.
