CHARACTER.

The character of mans life affects
thousands beside himself. Wickedness
cannot be kept inside of a mans heart
any more than the stencil can be kept
in the gutter where it is generated. It
spreads abroad and mingles with the
air of the whole street, and all who pass
the spot must breathe of its tainted
odors. There is moral atmosphere in
which we all live and to which we all
contribute ingredients. We spread
contagion through it or we make it
pure and healthy. We cannot remain
by ourselves any more than the drop of
water can remain by itself when it is
fallen into the stream. We become a
part of the whole and the whole is af-
fected by the part Sin is contagi-
Gus, and therefore we have no right to
harbor it in our hearts. Impropriety
is crime not alone against God, but
also against mankind. The voice of
the entire race is lifted in protest
against the crime and the criminal.
Every day is day of judgment, and
the moral sense of the whole world pro-
nounces condemnation upon every one
that doeth evil.

SILENT INFLUENCE. are touch
ing our fellow beings on all sides.
They are affected for good or for evil
by what we are, by what we say and
do, even by what we think and feel.
Many flowers in the parlor breathe their
fragrance through the atmosphere. We
are each of us silently saturating the
atmosphere about us with the subtle
aroma of our character. In the family
circle, besides and beyond all the
teaching. the daily life Of each parent
and child mysteriously modi6es the life
of every person of the household. The
same process, on wide scale, is going
on through the community. No man
liveth to himself, and no man dieth to
himself. Others are built up and
strengthened by our unconscious deeds;
and others may be wrencbed out Of
their places and thrown down by our
uncon scious influence.

LUCKY VETERAN.

Years ago Chas. M. Lee was great
lawyer in Rochester. N. Y. On one
occasion be was defending an old Re-
volutionary veteran for passing forged
promissory note for thirty dollars.
There was scarcely doubt Of the mans
guilt. but Lee. getting over the knotty
points Of the evidence as well as be
could. undertook to carry the jury by
escalade on the ground Of the prisoners
Revolutionary services. He described
in graphic terms the bloody attack on
Stony Point. by Mad Anthony. at
which the prisoner, then daredevil Of
nineteen, had distinguished himself,
and closed his speech a. follows:
" Gentlemen Of the jury, will you
send to the state prison, for passing q
contenptible thirty dollar forged note,
an old hero Of three-score and ten, who
in his youth eheered the heart of his
country in the darkest hour Of the Re-
volution BY storming Stony Point :"
This was poser for the jury, Who
retiring, returned after an absence Of
about two hours, when the clerk went
through the usual formula:
Gentlemen Of the jury, have YOU
agreed upon verdicta Z"
(" We have" W
. Do you find the prisoner at the bar
guilty or not guilty ?"
Not guilty. because he stormed
Stony Point" thundered the foreman.
The audience applauded. the crier
raped for order, the district attorney
objected to the recording of the YER
lict, and the judge sent the jury out
lgain. telling the fossman, in sharp |
;one. that they must find an upcondi-
ional verdict Of guilty or not guilty.
After an absence Of few minutes
hey returned. when the foreman re-
he foreman returned the simple ver-I
lict Of not guilty. adding. however, a.
,e dropped into his seat,
:" Il was . good thing though, |
udge, for the old Revolutionary cuss |
