A Good Story of Kind-Hearted Old
Man.
IT " NNs
This is a true tale.

A young pianist was giving concerts
through the provinces OF Germany Tor
her support, and to enhance her reputa-
ton she advertised herself as pupil OF
List. In little town in the interior of
Germany, where she had announced a
concert, she was confounded the day
before the concert was to take place
by seeing in the list of arrivals and
at the same hotel where the concert
was to be given, an. Liable Liszt."
Here was dilemma, and what to
do she knew not. Her fraud would
be discovered; she would be exposed ,
she could never give another concert ;
she was ruined.
Tremblingly she sought the presence
of the great maestro, determined to make
clean breast of it, and cast herself on
his mercy. Coming into his room with
downcast eyes. she knelt at the old man 5
feet, and with many tears told her story
how she had been left an orphan and
poor, with only her one gift of music
with which to support herself; the diff
culties she had encountered, until the
fraudulent use of his great name had
filled her rooms and her purse. well,
well" said the great man, gently raising
her up, "let us see, my child, what we
can do. Perhaps it is not so bad rs you
thought. There is piano; let me hear
one of the pieces you expect to play
to morrow evening"
Tremblingly she obeyed, the maestro
making comments and suggestions AS she
played, aud when she had finished he
added; "Now, my child, l have given
you lesson; you are pupil of List"
Before she could find words to express
her gratitude List asked; "Are your
programmes printed" mo, sir" was
the answer, mot yet" "Then say that
you will be assisted by your master, and
that the last piece on the programme will
be played 10y the Able Thanksgiving

IL Mrs. Fry, of Albion, native of
Montgomery County, lives until the 10th
of September next, she will be los years
old. A short time since, in walking about
the house, Mrs. Fry stumbled over loose
board, and. falling, injured her hip so
that she has since been confined to her
bed. 1t is doubtful whether she will ever
again be able to walk. She is now in 3
very helpless condition physically, but
her mental faculties are not seriously i'm

Good wives.

Good wives are great treasures. They
are more than silver or gold. Their love
is better than money, II it be pure,
seli-denying, and yet considerable, II will
be n constant encouragement. 1t will
invest them with an atmosphere In which
every element of manly character may
grow toward the full. Notwithstanding
the reports OF domestic infelicities which
appear almost daily, still we are sure
that the good wives are vastly in the
majority, and that they give honor, and
dignity, and grace to marriage as OF old.
In the lighter and semi indecent litera-
ture of nearly every age, marriage has
been the inexhausuble theme OF ridicule.
Dmmatists and s~atirists like to take
undue license with things respectable
and even sacred. They have laid on
woman, az such, unjust and heavy
burdens of vicious humor, or of defling
wit. And yet her queenly ascendancy
remains in overwhelming splendor, so
to-day, in all Christian lands, good
wives have and really hold a power the
equal Of which in its extent and benefi.
Cence does not belong 10 any sceptered
.potentate.
For good wives and mothers rule in
the empire of the affections, They shape
character, give tone to manners; make
virtue attractive commend piety, and
I'LL their homes with sunshine. They
are the dispensers of %gladness their ten
der hands smooth the raven down of care,
until it is changed into the quiescence
Of hope. Their prayers are as benedic-
tions, ard the good they do in their quiet
WAYS is seen in the state and in TIE
church. They deserve hoLor and receive
it. No matter what the novels or the
newspapers may do to undermine respect
for marriage, it remains after all the sole
representative Of paradise, and is the
type OF the relation between Christ and
His church. Let it be held sacred

A beautiful person is the natural form
OF n beautiful soul. The mind builds It's
own house. The soul takes precedence
OF the body, and shapes the body To its
own likeness. A vacant mind takes all
the meaning out of the fairesL face. A
sensual disposition deiorms the handsom-
est features. A cold, selfish heart shriveIs
and dis0rts the best looks. A mean, grow
ellingspirit takes all the dignityout Of the
figure and all the character out Of the
c0untenance. A cherished hatred trans
forms the NEST beautiful lineaments into
image Of ugliness. 1t is impossible to pre-.
serve good looks with a brood of bad ras-
si0ns feeding on the blood, Il ret OF low
loves trampling through the heart, and Il
selfish, disdainiul spirit enthroned in the
will, 81 to preserve the beauty OF an ele-

Badness and beauty will no mora keep
company Il great while than poison will
consort with health, or an elegant carving

ments ofputting them together has been
tried for thousands of years, but with one
unvarying result. There is no sculptor
like the mind. There is nothing that 30
refnes, polishes and ennobles face and

LONELINESS is the outside of love. Kind
