Will He Succeedp

IN nine cases out of ten, mans life
will not be success if he does not bear
burdens in his chlldho If the fond
ness or the vanity of father or mother
have kept him from hard work, if an
other always helped him out at the end
of his row; if. instead Of taking his
turn at pitching off. he stewed away all
the timc-in short, if what was light
always fell to him, and what was heavy
about the same work to some one else
il he has been permitted to shirk, until
shirking has become habit, unless a
miracle has been wrought, his life will
be failure. and the blame will not be
half SO much his as that of his weak
and foolish parents.
On the other hand. if boy has been
brought mp to do his part. never al
lowed to shirk any Legitimate responsi-
bility. or to dodge work, whether or
not it made his head ache, or soiled his
hands. until bearing burden has be-
come matter of pride, the heavy end
of the wood his choice. parents as they
bid him good-by may dismiss their
fear. The elements of success are his.
and at some time and in some way the
world will recognize his capacity.

Tried and True.

Side by side, for years we've Travelled
Through the Sunshine and the rain
shared together joy and gladness
Mixed with bitterness and pain.
Zone through many fiery trial
Under clouds OF darkest hue;
Bot we helped and c.eered each other
Came ont victors tried and true.
Yes. companion. we have smothered
Many brilliant spark Of pride
Quenched the fires Of proud smbition--
Worked together s,de by side.
Friends have proven false and tickle
Fortune peri,hed with the dew;
And Of all the joys around US.
We alone are tried and true.
All how sweet and doub.y precious
Is the thought that time and tide
Cannot change the love we cherished
In the darkness side by side.
1t is worth q life of sadness,
Pain well-known and pleasures few.
Just to feel the thrilling presence
OF dear friend tried and true.
God. above. in kind compassion,
Every trial and victory knew.
And reserved q bounteOus tribute,
For the faithful tried aud true.

Loving According to Scripture.

We heard pretty incident the other
day which we cannot help relating.
A young lady from the South, it seems,
was wooed and won by youthful ply
siciaa living in California. When the
engagement was made the doctor was
rich. having been very successful at San
Francisco. II had not existed six
months. however. when, by an unfor.
tunale investment. he lost his entire
heap" This event came upon him, it
may be added, just as he was about to
claim his bride. What does he do?
Why, like IN honorable and chivalrous
young fellow, as he is. he sits down and
writes the young lady every particular
OF the unhappy turn which has taken
place in his fortunes, assuring her that
il the fact produced any change in her
feelings toward him, she is released
from every promise made to him. And
what does the dear, good girl do |!
Why, she takes lump Of pure gold
which her lover had sent her in his
prosperity as keepsake. and. having
it manufactured into ring, forwarded
it t. him with the following Bible in.
scription engraved in distinct characters
on the outside: "Entreat me not to
leave thee, for whittier thou goest will
| go. and where thou lodgest will
lodge; thy people viii! be my people,
and thy God my God; where thou diest
will die. and there will I be buried;
the Lord do so to me, and more also, if
aught but death part thee and me-"
The lover idolized his sweetheart more
than ever when he received this precious
evidence Of her devotion to him, both
in storm ana sunshine. We may add
that fortune soon again smiled upon
the young physician, and he subse-
quently returned to the South to wed
the girl he loved, aud who loved him
with such undying affection Reader.
this is all true. Young ladies who read
the Bible as closely as the heroine Of
this incident seems to have done, are
pretty sure to make good sweethesrts
and better wives.-Pitts6urg Com.

The Jew.

The Jew is miracle among the nA-
tions. A wanderer in all lands. he
has been witness Of the great events
Of history for more than eighteen hun
dred years. He saw classic Greece when
crowned with intellectual triumphs.
He fingered among that broken but
beautiful architecture that rises like .
tombstone over the grace Of her depart
ed splendor.
The Jew saw Rome, the mighty
heart" Of nations. sending its ceaseless
life's throb through all the arteries of
its vast empire. He. too. has seen that
heart cold and still in death. These
have perished. yet the Jews live on
the same silent. mysterious, indcstruc-
tible being. The shadow of the Cres-
cent rests on Palestine, the siSnet of q
conaueror's faith-still the Jew and his
religion survive. He wsnders captive
in the streets of his once quoenly
Jerusalem, to mediate sad and glo0mi-
ly OH the relics Of ancient power.
Above him shines the clear sky. fair as
when it looked down on the towers of
Zion; but now, alas! beholds only q
deselate city and an unhappy land.
The world is his home Tho literature
of the ancient Hebrew triumphs over
oil cseeds and schools, and sects. Man
kind worship in the sacred songs OF
David, and bow to the divine teachings
Of Jesus Of Nazareth, who also was q
son Of Abraham. Such is the Jew.
His ancient dreams Of empire are gone.
How seldom do we realize, as We bee
him in our city streets, that he is the
creature Of such q strange. peculiar des-
tiny. Neither age nor country, nor
climate, have changed him. Such il
the Jew, strange and solitary being,
and such the drama Of his long and
eventful history Pen and Pio,c.

How 1t Came About.

1t is pretty well known that during
Williaa II. Vanderbilt's youth his ia
ther. the Commodore. had very little
confidence in his sagscity or business
ability. Against the advice If some OF
his friends. he persistently declined the
young mans cooperation because he
thought him stupid" A story is cur
rent on Staten Island, which goes to
show hew the Commodore's eyes came
to be opened to the mistake into which
he allowed himself to fall concerning
his eldest boy. William owned farm
near his fathers and finding thst il re-
quired fertilization, he applied to him
for some manure.
"How much do you wantf" inquired
the Commodore.
"Oh, about Load was the reply.
Certainly, ! can spare that" was the
reply.
When the Commodore visited his
place the next week, he found that bis
yards and stables were swept clean Of
the great heaps Of compost he had al.
lowed to accumulate.
"Why. how 10 thisg" he said to his
farmer.
"Your son came and got it," was the
answer. "He said you gave him per.
mission"
The Commodore went fuming ~
William. and said in bustling way.
See here, young man. what have you
been about; how dare you cart of eli
my manurey"
"You said l could have it," was the
r.joinder. "Ysa told me to take Z
load"
"A load. why. you have got every biz
there IS"
Il only took u load, father.-a sloep
load"
The old mans eyes were opened. and
he concluded to give the son . alice
of stock to operate with. and soon after
uaas him Vice President Of the Central
road. ~

And watched the pensive mule;
A thougatfal attitude it wore.
An air serenely cool.

The silver dollar advocates claim that thew
have canvassed the United States Senate
and found there a clear majority in favor of
reconciliation. They declare that the dol
lar of the fathers is destined to roll without
obstacle, if the President does not block its
course with veto. Perhaps this was fore
seen by Mr.. Wallace, when he jumped in
ahead with his goloid patent 1t is one of
the most inexplicable things in modern
controversy, that the infationists and silver
advocates utterly refuse to endorse Mr.. Wal
lace's discovery, They have never before re-
fused to accept anything for money, provided
it was cheap. The fact that this has some
of the bondholders' gold in it has probably
frightened them.

will always exist in our period, with the
Catholic church and other ingredients for its
basis. The more we defeat it the more if

will be a perpetual attack upon Democracy.

What is termed the Indian policy has been
too much under the control of politicians and
their agents. Had the policy of the Indian
peace commission adopted in the winter of
1867 been stuck to and carried out in good
faith, as recommended by the commission,
the problem would now be solved. While
the commission were on the Missouri river in
conference with the Sioux tribes Gen. Terry,
one of the commission, offered a resolution,
which met with unanimous approval, that it
was bad policy to make any more Indian
treaties-which meant that the Indian should
be held amenable to the laws of the country,
and be punished like any other citizen when
convicted OF an offense. This is the only safe
policy, and had it been accepted as that of the
government, good deal of trouble and an

1t is a tremendous task for nature so
stubborn as that OF North American Indian
to put on an alien civilization. The greed
and demoralizing influences of the whites
have had to be excluded and with them also,
of necessity, the appliances of rapid civiliza-
ton. They are not even now, as mass
fit Ito Lendure indiscriminate contact
with the white race. From one-third to one
half of them are still uncivilized, and would
be improved of the face of the cath il the
whites were let in among them, while con-
siderable portion of the remainder would
have severe struggle in holding their own.
But their progress has been great, and the
end is certain if they are left undisturbed.

THE investment Of Plevna is now COM
plete, and the fate of that stronghold, either
by starvation or capture, is, to all appear
ances, sealed. Gourko's splendid victory on
the Sophia road has been followed up by am
pie reinforcements, and the Russians now
encircle Pleyna in numbers which, when aug
mented by the troops being sent to various
points, will soon be sufficient both to prevent
the arrival of provision trains and to defeat
any attempt at escape by sortie which Osman
Pasha may be driven to make. The place is
not victualed for protracted siege, and
everything points to its downfall and the
capture of the Turkish army there intrenched

The Raid on the Treasury.

The rebel raid on the Treasury has begun.
In the interests of "conciation" the rich
and tax-paying North is asked to give few
| hundred millions of dollars to the beggared
South-beggared by its own follies and
crimes. In the House, which has become a
Confederate stronghold, there were over
eight hundred bills introduced Monday, a
large portion of them providing money for
needy Southern interests. Davis of North
Carolina led the way with proposition to
repeal the laws torbiddng payments of claims
to persons who were not loyal, measure
which is in effect throwing open OF the
Treasury doors to the whole hungry horde of
Confederate claimants. Mr.. Scales of the
same state, following Ransom's lead in the
Senate, proposed to do away with the law
which forbids payment of pensions to men
who have been in arms against the govern
ment, and thus endeaYored to put on an
equality with the boys in blue the ragged
rebel soldiery who fought for the destruction
of the Union. Not satisfied with pension
ing the Confederate veterans, Banning of
Ohio. who is more Southern than the South,
asked for the repeal of the law forbidding the
appointment in the army and navy of the
persons who served in the army or navy Of
the Confederate States. Soft places must be
provided for these SCARED heroes. and one
wonders if the bill introduced by Ittner of
Missouri for the reorganization of the army
contemplates the cashiering of those officers
who had the misfortune to serve under the
national flag, and the substi tuition for them
of Early and the other rebel paladins. But
as Early refuses to be concilated-that is
bribed-he will probably have no share in
the plunder.
Other bills introduced call for a million of
dollars for the deepening of the Missouri,
three millions for the Mississippi levees, for
the pay of Southern mail contractors, for the
relief of the Texas railroad from an obliga-
CATION to render service in return for a land
grant, for the improvement of the navigation
of the Mississippi, for subsidized steamship
line from New Orleans to Brazil. for the re-
funding of all direct taxes collected in the in
surrectionary states. Indeed so many were
the bills that the morning hour was not suf-
ficient for their introduction, and the call
was extended to five o'clock. 1t soon became
evident that there was not plunder enough to
90 round, and we are not surp rised to learn
that proposition was made tor the printing,
of five hundred million more greenbacks
But that sum will be sadly insufficient. If
once our reconstructed brethren get their
hands into the TreasuFy-and they will get
them in clear up to their armpits if they gain
control of the government-all the paper
mills in the country running night and day
will not be able to supply their demands.
With their grip on the throat of the North
they will call upon it to stand and deliver
and then make 1t give its notes payable out o
all the property it ever hopes to possess.
