Thoughts for Saturday Night.

There is no surer test of integrity
than well proportional expenditure.
In all the affairs of this world so
much reputation is in reality so much
power.
Countries are we'll cultivated, not as
they are fertile, but as they are free.
Republics come to an end by luxurious
habits; monarchs by poverty.
Nobody looks any longer at the rain
bow which has lasted quarter of an
hour.
Let no man who wants to do anything
for the soul of man lose a chance Of
doing something for his body.
People are never made so ridiculous
by the qualities they possess as by those
that they affect to have.
Love never reasons, but profusely
gives, like a thoughtless profigate, its
all, and trembles then lest it has done
too little.
Do not try to pass for more than you
are worth; if you do your duty, your
good qualities of head and heart will be
discovered and appreciated.
Many persons when they find them
selves in danger of shipwreck in the
voyage of life throw their darling
vices overheard, as other mariners do,
only to fish them up again after the
storm is over.
When the Breton mariner puts to sea,
his prayer is: Keep me, my God; my
boat is so small, and thy ocean is SO
WIDE" Does not this beautiful prayer

A China Boys " Cousins"

A "China boy" has no end of
cousins" Bounding the as it sounds
in pin). From one to half dozen
Cinnamon will loiter round kitchen if
they dare, and one may feel certain that
every Chinese of them is hungry. To
be hungry seems, indeed, their normal
condition, for they live by scores in
their washhouses and other haunts, SUBJ
sisting on the smallest modicum of food,
in order to save money. When they
drop into our kitchens to call on COM
rade, therefore, one may be certain that
those bright little sloping eyes are on
the alert for forage. We have happened
suddenly down stairs and found such a
visitor in the closet, his hand in the
sugar bowl. A neighbor met another
emerging from her pantry, eating pie.
When thus confronted, they laugh and
leave Immediately. Not word is said
in self-defense, and the housekeeper' s
consolation is, that they do not dare to
take any but small quantities But it
makes housekeeping with them not q
state of entire confidence. 1t is quite q
question whether or not to put things
under lock and key. If trusted, they
seem to put themselves somewhat upon
honor, not to allow, at all events, any
large amounts to be distracted. This,
and the fact that no drudgery of locking
can really prevent theft, determines
most housekeepers, we think, in favor
of open closets. Whether this ingrained
habit of pilfering is at once eradicated
in those who accept Christianity, we dc
not know; but we have been told by re-
turned missionaries that they have tc
settle the same question, with about the
same solution.-Scribner for Septena

How Sleeping Car Thefts are Made.

A discovery was made recently on
sleeping car on the Little Miami rail-
road, which lifts heavy load of sus-
picion from the conductors and porters.
1t is always the case when passenger
in a sleeping Car is robbed that the
porter or conductor first falls into dis
repute. Then, if they are not found
to be guilty, it is taken for granted that
thieves are in some of the berths, and
honest passengers are made uncomfort-
able by being suspected of being COM
mon thieves. A lady made the dis
coyery above alluded to. She was
awakened at point where the train
stopped for water, not station, by find
ing mans hands rummaging her berth
for valuables. She gave the alarm, but
too late to catch the man, but in time to
make the discovery that the thief was
neither conductor, porter or passenger,
but scoundrel who reached the open
window of the berth from the outside,
by standing on the chains, or rods that
stretch below the Car, near the edge. It
is not comfortable position, but it en-
ables an expert thief to make pretty
minute inspection of sleeping berth,
without entering the car. Moral, close
your window when the train stops for
water in lonely place.

THE GOVERNORSfflP.



1t has been repeatedly claimed that Sc
cret organizations do not take an active
part in politics, but that the respective
members of such organizations support
and vote for such candidates as they indi-
vidually think are best qualified for the
offices to be filled. The public sometimes
believe that this principle is not always
acted upon in good faith, and that there
have been occasions in our own State which
would seem TO justify this belief.
1t has been repeatedly intimated that
"the Grange" is a political organization
aud that influences are brought TO bear up
on the "Grsngers" 10 induce them to sup.
port particular candidate for office. The
thoughtful, intelligent farmers of Vermont
were induced TO become members of the
Grange on account of the pecuniary adj
vantages and increased knowledge of agri-
culture which might be derived through
an organization of this character Those
who thus became members OF the Grange
look with distrust upon any attempt TO con-
vert their institution into a secret political
ring. To this the honest voter would not
submit for he readily sees tie danger of
aiding such political movements and Of
turning the Grange into an office-makiug
institution.
In the contest f + Governor, which is now
agitatng the State, there is nothing thus
far which clearly indicates that the Grang-
ers are working as political organization.
1t is minated, however, and many be-
lieve, that the supporters Of b. d. Har-
ris are about 10 abandon their candi-
date and by every means in their power
seek the aid of the Changers 10 secure del
egates for another candidate for Governor,
just for the purpose Of dctcating Ded. Estey.
We trust that the farmers of Windhanl
county will not lend themselves TO this
scheme; they should act independently
and according TO their individual convic-
tions. In order 10 do-this they cannot lend
themselves, or their organizations TO politi-
clans who seek to bring their private quar-
rels into public affairs. q.

enable her TO emerge from the shadow
which now dims her lustre. Other men
may show more extended records of public
service, others may be as free from stain Of
corruption, and possessed of as fine per-
sonal qualities as Mr.. Brislow, but his con-
spicuous example of fidelity TO official
trust, and his success in the prosecution of
public offenders, have given him the con-
fidence of the people and there is reason
to doubt if any man can be named who, as
against Democratic reform candidate like
Gov. Tlden of New York-should his par
ty be wise enough 10 nominate him-would
be so likely as he TO receive the vote of the
independent element, without whose sup
port success is impossible. Whatever may
be our personal choice in the matter of II
candidate, it is evident that Bristow stock is
steadily rising, both in New England and
at the West and If we judge Alright, the
probability is that it will be the safest In
which the Republican party can invest.
