MISCELLANEOUS.

PAY DEBTS BY CHEcK.-The safest way to use
money, to avoid loss or miscount, is by deposit
ing it in bank, and when payment is to bcmade
give your check, this requires no counting and
saves all risk. The check may again be deposit
ed, and credit received on it and another check
may be given to the next man and so on until a
large business may be transacted without loss be-
tween the parties. 1t may be observed in this
way every person having money to receive or pay
out may be benefited by this system.

Five minutes afterwards Tom entered

Well Preserved.


Louis Jennings, III his letter to the
World about Canterbury Cathedral,
writes: A man will lie in the earth
ere he rots, says Shakespeare's grave
digger, "some eight years or nine years; !;
a tanner will last you nine years." In
these parts your body wiz last still
longer. For in 1882 the tomb of Henry
". was opened in this cathedral, and
ito the astonishment of all present, the
face was in complete preservation, the
beard thick and matted and of deep
russet color, and the jaws perfect, with
all the teeth in them, except one fore
tooth, which had probably been lost
during the Kings life. Now the King
had been buried there just 419 years,
In digging up part of the suburbs of
Canterbury many collins were found
in which the bones of the bodies were
perfect; in one the body was little de-
cayed, "the hair red, curled and elastic,
and about two inches long Under the
head was hollow stone, like pillow.
When Thomas A. Beckets shrine was
deposited his bones and head were either
burnt or scattered TO the winds. So
they, at least, will not trouble anybody
again.

EACH DAY WELL-SPENT.


Each day well-spent how sweet the thought
Worth ali the gold that Earth hath wrought
Worth all the pageAnTy and show
That glitters in this world below;
Makes man to be just what he should,
And just as God intended-good-
faithful friend and devotee,
Sincere in his humility
A noble form, q noble mien,
noble mind-these most are seen,
Not in the outward, empty grace,
But In the inward, thoughtful face.
AS greatest treasures most are found
Deep in the Earth, far underground,
SO purest thoughts and highest aims
Deep in the soul, till found, remain.
Each day well-spent brings peace OF mind,
The Joy, the bliss OF human kind,
Without which man were poor indeed
Though great his wealth. dire is his need
Wealths measured only by the store
OF Good Deeds-nothing less or more.
As Vice and Virtue re far apart,
So Good, not Bad, must rule the heart,
Industry is the darling theme
On which to dwell, on which to dream;
Then Lies great tolls find recompense
In what we need most-'tis good sense
Good sense can only come from Heaven,
And come it must when well we've striyen-
A fit reward, but nothing more
And this is Life's best, richest store.

MANI).

We have alluded to the editors trials
the strain upon his sympathies. Sup
pose we present few of them. Ayoung
man with little experience Of life, high
ambitions, great expectations, thorough
industry, sends manuscript and accom-
panies it with letter, in which he says
that all the hopes of his life are hanging
upon the fate of his paper-that the edi-
tor has destiny in his hands-th9t the
writer is waiting to hear his fate, etc.,
etc. A woman writes that the living Of
herself and her children, who have been
left without protector and provider,
depends upon the editors decision, and
that if her manuscript is not accepted,
she and her little ones must become
beggars. A young girl, just from school,
wishes to earn her own living, and re-
| lieye a father who has failed in busi-
ness. Another girl desires bravely to
educate her brothers and sisters, who
have been left without the requisite
means. A woman is possessed by an
overmastering desire to do good with her
pen. Hundreds write that they are
poor, and that they no recourse but their
power to write.
10 a man who carries heart, such
appeals are painful beyond expression.
He has no right to yield the slightest
consideration to them, and he must not
do it. They have no right to distress
him in his way, but they do not know
that. The resort is so desperate that
they are really untitled by it for doing
their best work. The presumption
always is that the literary part of the
case is consciously weak one. The
urging of an il!egitimate consideration
would hardly be indulged in by one who
felt strong in his literary claim. When
a man is large enough to write for the
public, heis usually large enough to see
that an illegitimate claim to attention
degrades him indeed he is large enough
not to think Of making it.

begins in his incompetent idea of lltera-
ture. No man thinks ofputting MS first
picture in the exhibition; but the mo-
ment man begins to write, he wants
to print, forgetting that there is no art
that demands more study and practice
than the literary, and that he has had
no special training for 1t. without eX-
perience in life, without training in art,
and with only a natural facility for ex-
preston, he has fancy that if he could
only get a publisher he would
succeed at once. Our painters, our
sculptors, our singers, our architects,
are obliged to 60 through long courses
of instruction and practice; but our es-
sayists, ourpoets, our novelists, seem to
think that they mustny when they tum-

tor.
"You didn't succeed in getting me to
the city on fools errand."
81 don't understand you, Mr.. Top, "
said the doctor gravely.
"'W. & P.'s, Wall street - some-
thing to my advantage"
The doctor looked puzzled.
"Ycu needn t look so innocent, doctor /;
sent you TO New York in April, eight
teen months ago, and it is but natural
that you should wish to pay me back In
my own coin. But was too wide
awake for you to catch me-"
"You are certainly too wide awake
for me now. VIII you please explain
yourself, said DR.. Scrogglns.
"April before last you received let
ter to the effect that if you would call
in Wall street, you would hear of some
thing to your advantage.
81 did," replied the doctor.
"Well?"
81 called accordingly and did hear
something to my advantage"
"What?"
Top looked very much surprised and
disappointed at the same time. "And
did you not write me similar one,
last April ?"
81 am above such cold-hearted cruelty
sir" said the doctor, in tone that
marked his real feelings. "The person
who could do such thing must have
something bad about his character, and
l want to have nothing to do with him. l"
"Good-morning, DOCTOR" said Mr..
Top.
The two gentlemen bowed stifly, and
parted. Top felt very uncomfortable.
He finally decided to call at the place
referred to in his letter. Thinking 1t
might still be an April fool trick, he
made a few purchases for his store and
gave his name,
Benjamin Top" said the person
with whom he was dealing. "Do you
reside in the city,"
Top told him the name of the village
in which he lived.
"Did you ever receive letter from
this houseF"
81 did; but as it was dated the first
day of April, thought it was an April
fool trick, and never replied to it."
"Far from it," answered the man,
can old gentleman from Ohio, came
here about that time, and said he had a
brother living in this State, and he was
in search of him or his children. We
heard that man named Benjamin Top
lived in your village, and dropped him
line; but as no answer came we
thought the information to be incor-
rect"
"Where is he now?" asked Mr.. Top.
"Dead. Your sister, Mrs. Jessup,
who resides near this city, answered the
letter we wrote her in person. She
took him home with her, and short
time after arriving there he died, leav-
ing her the whole of his property,
amounting to $4,000"
"He was my uncle" said Top.
"Then by not attending to our letter
you are the loser of at least one half his
property"
Top went home a sadder man than
when he left it. He knew that it would
be in vain to appeal TO his sisters gene
erosity, for she was widow, and when
poor, with five children dependent
upon her, he had treated her with un-
kindness and neglect, and there was
little likelihood of her sharing her good
fortune with him.
Top was, after all, the real April fool ;
and so great was his disappointment
and chagrin that never afterwards was
he known to send an April fool letter,
or to play trick on ore of his friends.
