Without love, happiness takes its
leave, and where love abides, care
enters with uncovered head.
Weedsgrow spontaneously, but use

The clown who excites multitudes

Never attempt to intimidate the
man who accords to his, mother and
his sister the reverence due her sex.
Unjustsuspicion may shake foun-

What better credentials can man

Whatever our sorrows, whatever

us with eternal sympathy.

"But in 70 minutes you will not;

He still held my hands. .
"Will you listen while 1 spcak?"

Look here" He unclasped my hands
and drew from his inside coat pock-
ct a daguerreotype of beautiful wo-
man and girl with blue eyes and
golden hair. "That's why l have
tramped," he said, pointing to the
picture. "That one is my wife and
the other is my. child, They are
both dead, o, yes, that's why have
trampod." He spoke the last words
low and sadly and burst into q fit of
sobbing, the like of which | never
heard before from either manor wo-
man. After a few minutes he be-
came more calm.
"You see these?" This time he
reached down into the pocket of his
pants, and brought ont several square
little objects. a have carried these

what these objects were-seven three
nicked BREWER quads, with the edges
worn off to nearly roundness. l ex-
amined them and then carefully
slowed them away in my pocket.
'NIr. Knowley, l will keep these
quads as safely as | would keep my

"lfyou are like me you will not
have them long, for l never could
keep money. But it's no matter"
For about fifteen minutes he re-
maincd perfectly motionless, and the
worst then began, l had seen per-
sons in the delirium tremens before,
and dreaded seeing what was coming.
"Good-by, friend. The jim jams

The town clock struck II, and ten
minutes later, just 70 minutes after

ic words, to "never, never tramp

Perhaps the eulogy pronounced by
the foreman was not the most elo-
quent; perhaps the ceremonies were
not the most gorgeous, but the winds
sighed as mournfully and sympathet-

Giving without Money.

The poor give more than the rich.
This proposition holds good as a gen
eral principle. Money is by no
means the only thing to give in this
world; neither do large gifts necessa-
rily contribute more to the happiness
of the receiver than small gifts.
Go into any country community
and converse with the people. Ask
who ministers most to their happin-
ess. You will very likely be told of
some Vencrated clergyman, whose
salary has never been more than en-
ough to support him; orof some poor.
widow, who goes from house to house
like ninistering angel, wherever
sorrow and suffering demand consola-

sympathy that rcjoicts with those
that do rejoice and wteps with those
who weep, a.

LONDON, March 19.-rhe English
modification In the protocol Will render
a concert of the Powers vague, and the
protocol still open to final decision.
Russia is expected to be friendly to the
notifications, in which case there will
be a disarmament of Russia and Turkey.
LONDON, March 19.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette says the public will do well to form
their Judgment OF the Eastern prospect
from what was said in the House OF
Commons Saturday by Sir Stafford
Northcote, N rather than from the raptur-
GUS declarations IN the Times. Possibly
it is fact that negotiation has virtually
ended, because the Gar and Prince
Gortschakoff, in their own minds. may
have resolved to accept such modifica-
tions as have been introduced into
tae protocol by England, but so far what
is thought OF these notifications and
what particularly is thought OF the
English stipulatioDs about discernment
is unknown in this country. We do not
say the stipulations will not be ac-
cepted, but only that they were by no
means without significance, and that
tney have not been yet assented to, and
that for aughL that is known they may
be met by objections more or less se-
rious. Iu short, the position of affairs
tL-day is just as 1t was yesterday.
