The Oriental Business.

A good citizen-of Croghan street
was reading the other day of a good
Persian gentleman who always walk
ed about with smile on his face.
When this Persian was asked why
he always looked 50 happy when
other men looked sad he replied
II smile because it may be sun

by shadows
1t was very nice in the Persian
and the Gro CHAN street man said he'd

replied.
She wanted him to understand
that fifteen minutes at the woodoile
would help her more than all the
grins he could grin in a straight
week, and when he went into the
kitGh1n to smile sons sunshine at
the hired girl the wife followed him
and raised row that put dinner

woman with basket, and he under

time, and presently she asked:

The Reward n Deputy Sheriff Got.

Warren n. Iloyt, young man
some twenty-five years of age, died
at Golden on Thursday morning last
and his remains passed through
Denver yesterday morning cn route
to the home of his relatives, at
Kingston, Pa. He was a sufferer
from consumption, and had made
Golden his home for several months
past. But the point that this item
is intended to develope is not so
much the sad death of young Hoyt
as the unexpected good fortune it
brought to one of Golden's very best
young men Deputy Sheriff John
w. Relcher. Purely from motives
of gratitude for the many kindnesses
and care that Sheriff Belcher had
generously (and without any thought
of reward) bestowed upon him dur
ing and preceding his last illness,

went to an uncle, who was present
in Golden when the will was made,
and expressed himself well satisfied
with his nephew's Soundness of
mind at the time of signing the in-
strument, which was drawn by
Judge Carpenter. Incidents of this
kind are rare, but if one chance in
many would meet the conditions of
present reward, Sheriff Belcher is
entitled to that chance, as he has
long been noted for his disinterest-
ed kindness to those Of his acquaint-
ances who were injured or sick

and often they express thoughts very
different from what they intend, be-
cause they do not understand the
words they employ. And very fre-
quently, from the same cause, they
take no idea, or wrong ideas, from
what they read or hear. a
The remedy for these evils is the
proper training in the study OF words,
10y the use of the Dictionary, and
this training should begin as soon as
the child can distinguish between
one word and another, aud continue
indefinitely. The apparatus for this
study should, Of course, be the most
complete and thorough to be had,
and this is abundantly supplied in
Webster's Dictionaries, which arc
justly recognized, where-eVer our
language is spoken, as the standard
authority in English. Parents and
teachers can in no other way SO

THEDICTIoXARYASAy INSTRUCTOR.

We notice as matter we'll worth
mentioning, that at the recent great
publishers, trade sale in New York,
the books that were most in demand
and brought the best prises were
Wcbster'S Dictionaries, from the IA
nous Q larto to the neat and handy
pocket edition. This fact is a good
indication of the almost universal
popularity Of these books, and of the
growing, public demand for them. 1t
indicates also fact of far greater
Importance, and that is the interest
the people are taking in the study of
their own language. This IS en-
couraging, as there is no branch of
education that Is now and has been
50 much neglected as the common
branches of spelling and defa,ng. 1t
is often astonishing and grievous to
see how grossly ignorant are children
and youth, and even men and wo-
men, or the orthography, pronuncia
tion and meaning of ordinary words
and phrases. They cannet express
their thoughts for want Of words,
