A BEAUTIFUL REFLECTION. - 1t
cannot he that earth is mans abiding
place. 1t canrot be that our life is
cast up by the ocean of eternity to
float moment upon its waves and
sink into nothingness. Else why is it
that the high and Curious aspirations
which leap from the temple of our
heart are forever wandering about
unsatisiied? Why is it that the rain
bow and cloud come over us with a
beauty that is not of earth, and then
pass OF, and leave us to muse upon
their faded loveliness? We are born
for higher destiny than that of earth;
there is a realm where the rainbow
never fades, where the stars will be
spread out before us like islands that
slumber on the ocean, and where the
beautiful which begins here and passes
before us like shadows will stay in our
presence forever.

A. e. Sands, Judge of the Lewis
county Criminal Court, resigned his
position because he couldn't resist the
habit Of intemperance. In retiring
from the bench, he said: "Gentlerhen
and Fellow-citizens-I appear before
you to say am a victim to II vice
which has disgraced me before you and
my country. As entered this court
room | heard some one say, There
goes pretty timber to make criminal
Judge Of | feel that remark as steel
through my heart, for It is just. lam
unworthy of the high honor and trust
you have conferred upon one soyoung;
and | return 10 you the Office have
lost, being unworthy of it. Pardon
me, friends and counirymen, but you
shall bear this no longer. My judi
cial integrity and official acts are
blameless. Thank God, | am no Ion
ger criminal Judge OF Lewis county,
May heaven help me in my Attic
tom" Such an eloquent and feeling
appeal was never heard in Nanceburl
before. Prejudice was turned to sym
pathy, and sympathy to compassion
for Judge Sands.

A well known county official was
The victim, a day or two ago, of the
meanest and most contemplate conf.
dence game ever played upon a man
with sandy hair. For some time he
has been trying to find employment
for his son, who only needs slight
boost to enable him ultimately to
chalk his name high up on the wall Of
success. A few days since a stranger
Of respectable appearance and good
address made the acquaintance Of the
young man, and offered to take him
out West and make him book keep
er OF mining concern at a salary Of
81 900 year and board. The youth
was highly pleased with the offer and
took the stranger to his house and in
troduced him to dad. Dad was de-
lighted with the intelligent miner, in
vited him to dinner. and made ar
rangements for sending his son to the
mountains. The next day the stran-
ger called again, and was again invi.
ted To remain and take dinner with
the family. After pariaking Of a
hearty meal and chatting awhile with
the family, the stranger arose to leave,
but promised 10 call the next day. At
the door he asked the official to give
him change for a $50 bill. The re-
quest was readily complied with; four
VS. were exchanged for a double X.
When the official went down town. an
hour afterwards, he discovered that
the $50 bill was a counterfeit. The
stranger did not call the next day, nor
the next, and now the brilliant hopes
of an embrJ or Vanderbilt have been
nipped, and the faith of a county of.
fetal in the plan of universal salvation
has been greatly shaken.-[St. Louis

saying that il never made that asser.

truth Of the assertion il really did

he may have died as stout an infdel

except by believing that the Quakers,

about his excited language on his

Of his deistical associates came to the

said: Tom Paine, il is said you are

Mary Roscoe, he said, You see what
miserable comforters they are Once

Item cut from a Nevada paper with
a little hatchet: A female Justice of
the Peace in Wyoming Territory was
obliged to hear a case Of a scandalous
character, in which her husband filled
the unenviable position of defendant.
She sentenced him to he hanged by
the neck until dead, and was anxious
to have the sentence carried into effect
at once, until the attorneys explained
to her that she was sitting simply as
an examining court. She then held
him in bonds of sls, 900, 900, to await
the action OF the Granl Jury, and
said she would shoot the first man full
of holes that attempted to raise the
sureties.
