Pearls of Thnnght.

He who surpasses or subdues mankind
must look down on the hate of those be-
low.
We every day sacrifice principles
which we esteem through fear of being
blamed by people whom we despise.
Out of suffering have emerged the
strongest souls, and the most massive
characters are scanned with scars.
Our love is inwrought in our enthusi-
asm as electricity is inwrought in the
air, exalting its power by subtle
presence.
When the million applaud you, seri-
ously ask yourself what harm you have
done; when they censure you, what
good.
We must not contradict, but instruct
him that contradicts us; for a mailman is
not cured by another running mad also.
Abuse, like other poison, when adj
ministered in too strong dose is thrown
off by the intended victims, and often
relieves where it was meant to destroy.
The transmutation of meals is small
affair compared with changing shame tc
glory, reverse to success, sorrows to
pleasures; yet true wisdom can do all
this.
Bashfulness is more frequently con.
nected with good sense, than We
find assurance; and impudence on the
other hand, is often the mere effect oi
downright stupidity.
Many new years, indeed, you may see,
but happy ones you cannot see without
deserving them. These, virtue, honor
acknowledge alone can merit, alone,
can produce.

Summer Evenings.

There is an all-pervading and diffusive
charm about q summer evening any
where. In the country, where the air is
fragrant with the breath of honeysuckle
and rose, and perfumed, besides, with a
thousand subtle scents too transient and
delicate to be separately defined, the eve
ming is the climacteric of the day. Not
morning, with its wondrous sparkle and
shine, its glistening pearls suspended
from myriad branches, it's evanescent
clouds, and it's chorus of song; not noon,
with its hush of spell-bound splendor
and its lovely languor of stately repose;
not even late afternoon, when the long
shadows creep down the velvet slopes,
and the haze hangs tremulous on the dis
tant hills-is so fair as twilight. Through
the faint ethereal glimmer Of brightness
which fingers in the west, through the
glory OF the golden moonrise, there come
vague questionings and thoughts to our
minds, not clothed upon with speech,
though they wear the color of heaven.
From unseen haunts in the orchard, or
from the dark belt of frs which girdlee
the ravine, there falls ROW and then a
silvery note, the vesper song of the robin,
or the last warble of the thrush, ere he
tucks his head beneath his wing. Tran
quilly and tenderly the night approaches,
like gentle mother whose protecting Q
arms gather the tired children close and
fold them to slumber on her breast.

TRYING to StarYe to Death.

Six months ago a gentleman and his
wife registered their names in the best
hotel in Sonora, California. They made
few acquaintances; they seemed TO court
seclusion; they wandered up and down
the grassy hills; occasionally they were
seen sitting under tall pine, anon the
man carried a pick-ax ON his shoulder
and had the air of miner who was hunt
ing for a pocket vein; they were eccen-
trio and mysterious. On June 30they
disappeared, and after their fellow-board-
ers had gossiped about them for day or
two search was made for them, The
queer couple were found on the top of
Bald mountain not far from the town.
They had been out doors about ninety
hours; they had not lost their way; they
had gone out into the woods with the
deliberate purpose of starving to death;
they had eaten nothing; they had afour-
ounce bottle filled with water, with
which they had moistened their parched
lips; they were dying by inches. The
neighbors carried them to cabin, and
induced them to eat something. The
husband is a graduate of Pennsylvania
medical college, and owns a homestead
in New Jersey. Once he was very
wealthy, but he lost everything in stock
speculations in San F. ancisco He had
been waiting for remittances from that
city; his last penny had gone; he was in
debt to the hotel proprietor; he resolved
to go up the mountain and starve, and
his wife went with him.

Something i'm the Bed.

Judge Pitman has habit of slipping
his watch under his pillow when he goes
to bed. The other night somehow it
slipped down, and, as the Judge was rest
less, it gradually worked its way down.
ward toward the foot of the bed. After
a bit, while he was lying awake, his foot
touched it, and it felt very cold; he was
surprised and scared, and, jumping from
bed he said
"By gracious, Maria there's toad
or snake or something under the covers.
[ touched it with my foot"
Mrs. Pitman gave loud scream and
was out on the floor in an instant.
"Now don't go to hollering and wax
ing up the neighbors," said the Judge.
"You go and get me broom or some
thing, and we'll fix the thing mighty
quick"
Mrs. Pitman got the broom and gave
it to the judge, with the remark that she
felt as if snakes were creeping all up and
down her legs and back.
"Oh, nonsense, Maria Now you turn
down the covers slowly. while I hold the
broom and bang it. Put bucket of
water alongside the bed, too, SOS we can
shove it in and drown it.
Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The Judge
held the broom uplifted, and as soon as
the black ribbon of the watch was re-
vealed, he cracked away three OF four
times with his broom. Then he pushed
the thing off into the bucket Then they
took the bucket to the light to investi-
gate the matter. When the Judge saw
what it was, he said
81 might've known that. Just like
you women, to go screeching and fussing
about nothing. Who's going to pay me
for that watch? It's utterly ruined"
:" 1t was you that made the fuss, not
me, F" said Mrs. p. You needn't try to
put the blame off on me-"
"Oh, hush up, and go to bed. I'm
tired Of hearing you blather. Blame me
if amt going to get divorce and emil

And the Judge turned in and growled
at Maria until he fell asleep. MAJ Id

BARGAIN HUNTERS.
How Some Women Make Purchases In New
York. r ...

How Some Women Make Purchases In New
York. ~, l...
Says q New York correspondent.
Some of the Broadway dry goods men
say smuggling has had scarcely any
effect on their trade. Others think It
has hurt them good deal. They tell
some queer yarns about the bargain
hunters who spend their days running
about, like Mrs. Toodles, in quest of
something cheap. Said one the other
day: "Give a regular shopper a hint
that there are some smuggled goods in
the market, and she'll spend week
hunting for them all over town. Ten to
one she hasn't the slightest use for any,
thing in the lot, but that's neither here
nor there. If goods are smuggled they
must be bargains, and slre's bound to
have something out of the lot, anyway,
want or no want" One of the walkers
in Broadway store tells this story:
DO women prefer smuggled goods ?
Well, not all, but pretty large number
do. Let me tell you what occurred in
our silk room not long ago. A lady who
spends five days in the week shopping
came in as usual and wanted to see a
piece of silk. She had been in almost
every day, and of course nearly always
went off without buying. This time the
clerk who had to wait on her turned
round when he had chance and offered
to bet five dollars with another clerk
that he'd make her buy enough silk for
dress. The bet was taken on the spot.
Then the clerk got down to work. He
took down piece after piece, spread them
out, piled them up in heaps till dozen
shelves were emptied, and talked till he
began to grow hoar 3e. But it was nc
use. She objected to one piece after
another, now the quality, now the shade,
now the price; but still the young man
kept on. He was at it fully an houl
when she got up to go. Then his strate'
gy came into play. Leaning over the
counter he motioned to her to come near
and then said in a whisper:
" Madam, can 1 say word in strict
confdence?" She nodded, and he wen
| on.
/ "You would like real bargain
wouldn't you ?" She nodded again.
"Well, this is just how it is. Tha
young man, )" motioning with his head tC
the clerk with whom he had made the
bet, "has fine piece of smuggled sill
that he will sell very low. OF course ht
can't say anything about it himself, bur
I can show it now, if you want to see it.
"Well, [ will look at it"
Putting his hand under the counter
he brought up piece of silk that he ha(
slipped down when she was getting VI
to leave. She examined it and asked thu
price.
"Three dollars is the regular price fo
the same goods, but you can have thi
for two."
You say it is smuggled ?"
-" Yes, ma'am, but don't speak 81
loud"
"Well, I will take twenty-five yards.
every well, ma'am; it's the creates
bargain you ever got" She was great,
pleased, but the silk was the same tina
she had rejected fifteen minutes befor
at $1.75.
A person hearing this story said: cd
you allow clerks to do business tina
way ?"
"Not at all; when it became known tn
young man lost his place; but the Incl
dent shows how ready some women ar
to pick up imaginary bargains if there i
any hint about smuggling"

NV Mothers Door.

"Then she got mad, and you got madder,

The Credit Business.

After having inspected pile of calico
in one of the Detroit stores, somewhat
rusty looking man blandly remarked to
the clerk before him
Credit must be given me >
"No, sir-we don't trust" was the
reply.
"I was going to remark that credit
must be given me for -
"We couldn't do it, sir. The rule
applies to every one."
Couldn't do what?" asked the man.
Couldn't give you credit"
You are very uncivil, sir, very, but
yet / will say before I go out of here
that credit must be given me for being
honest and impartial, when I say that l
never saw three hitching-posts look
nicer than them out there. That's all,
sir, and l wish hadn't said that much. y

Wifely Foresight.

"How do you get along9" said a wife
to her husband, in the midst of the panic.
"Oh, shall weather the storm, but
wish had few hundred dollars more.
"Dont you wish you had married a rich
wife ?" said she, in teasing way; then
going to her room, she returned with
rather more than the amount required in
United States bonds. "Why, where in
the world did you get this p said the
husband. "Well, my dear, you went to
champagne supper seven years ago,
and on your return, finding navigation
around the room rather difficult, depos-
tied hat, shoes, gloves and large roll OF
bank bills on the carpet. l put the
money away and waited three weeks fo1
.you to inquire if / had seen it, when,
finding you were ashamed to do so, l in.
vested, and here you have it. "

Preserving Elephants in Ice.

Some Russians lately found in Siberia
another elephant, perfectly preserved
in ice; they were able to eat its flesh.
M. Bayle, in announcing this fact to the
Geological Society of France, said it did
not prove that elephants had lived in
the country, but that, in a time of great
cataclysm, their bodies may have been
transported by very strong current
from the Himalayas ON to Siberia, where
they were stopped by the ice; the time
necessary for such transport is much less
than would be generally supposed. The
elephants, very numerous at that epoch,
had not been all carried to Siberia,
many had been stopped en- route, and
nothing had been left of them but their
bones and tusks; it was the latter that
had been long used by the Chinese for
their works of cut ivory. With regard
to the cataclysm carrying elephants to
northern regions, Count Hugo has point
ed out that every year English and
American fishermen have brought up
elephants tusks in their net. The num-
Der of these got annually may be esti-
mated without exaggeration, at about a
Thousand. ''i l-t

the nearest cab-stand. 1 was lust in

A deep groan made me turn my head

EOLI1iL'dL.

It seems, after ALL that there win be a confer
ence of the democratic politicians at the White
Sulphur Springs; but it will be composed mainly
of Southern men and possibly the candidates for
the Speakership of the next House.
President Hayes has refused to pardon a New
York lawyer convicted of fraud upon the ballot.
The decision is equivalent to a denial of the
petition for a pardon now said to be circulating
in Cincinnati in favor OF Eph. Holland, the man
who elected Gen. Banning to Congress. 1t also
dscloses what the action Of the President must
be ON applications from Senator Morgan of Ala
bama to have all prosecutions abandoned against
those democratic politicians in that State who par
ticpated in the frauds that defeated Jere HARRISON
for Congress.
The Louisville (Ky.) Jeifersonan Democrat
says "The laws of the State are not universally
enforced. They are not generally respected. nor
are they mpartiay and sterny administered"
Kentucky boasts of its great democratic majority,
we believe.
The good old road to victory suits the Iowa re-
publcans well enough If anybody else chooses
to search for new and unimproved shortcuts, or
lay out new corduroys, or to follow section lines,
or to attempt TO 60 across lots, let them the Iowa
republicans propose to stick to the well-known,
broad, well-worked and easy going old turnpike.
