The great secret of gaining bappi-
ness in life is to enjoy the present. To
be doing one thing and thinking Of
another is very unsatisfactory mode
of spending life. Some people are al
ways wishing themselves somewhere
but fwhero they are, or thinking Of
something else than what they are
doing, or Of somebody else than to
whom they are speaking. This is the
way to enjoy nothing, odo nothing we'll
and to please nobody. Itis better to be in
terested in inferior persons and inferior
things than to be Indifferent with the
best. A principal cause Of this indiffer-
ence is the adoption Of other peoples
tastes instead of cultivation Of our own
-thep pursuit after tbatfoS which wet are
not fitted, and to which consequently
we are not m reality inclined. This
folly pervades more or are less all class
es, and arises from the error OF building
our enjoyment on the false foundation
of the worlds opinion, instead of be
ing, with due regard to others each his
own world -Lddy's journal.

which the country is staggering was
caused by extravagant expenditures.
Look at trade, and and all the business
interests of the country ! They are
depressed beyond any former prece-
dent--and you, the Republican party,
the author of all our woes, cannot even
suggest a remedy. We arraign you

ask you, il you can, TO show cause why
you should not be consigned to politi-
cal oblivion. Have you any reasona

CoNDoNING A CRIME.

Not long ago, as our readers will re-
member, the trusted Cashier Of the
Eliot Bank OF Boston confessed to hav-
ing stolen $4,000 belonging to his en-.
ployers. He had been long connected
with the bank, was highly esteemed
by the entire community, and lived so
quietly that no one suspected him OF
being thief Indeed, according 10
his own account, he did not suspect
himself of being one, even while taking
and using the property Of others with
out their knowledge or consent He
had only, in the soft language of res
pectable roguery, borrowed" it for
little while, expecting to make the ac-
count good as soon as certain ventures
returned him the necessary profits.
But it proved TO be the old story, SO
often told in the experience of men
who have betrayed the trusts confded
to them. The ventures did not result
successfully, and foreseeing certain ex-
posure, the recreant officer made q
clean breast of the matter to the Dircc-
tors, who were, as usual, utterly as
founded and horror.struck at the ter.
rible revelation. lie was arrested on
the criminal charge of embezzlement,
and few days ago the case came up
for trial.
But Just at this point the affair took
an unexpected turn. A postponement
OF the trial was asked and granted, and
il socn appeared that this was done in
order that the case might be Settled
out of court" 1t seems that since the
theft became public, the silver stocks
in which the stolen money was invest
cd have so appreciated in value that If
the ex-Cashier himself is allowed TO
look after them, the loss may yet be
made good to the Directors. So the
crime OF which, on his own confession,
the man is guilty, is to be quietly con-
doned, in order that the honorable
managers of the Eliot Bank may re-
cover their lost money.
1t is natural, perhaps, that these gen.
tlemen should bc disposed to look at

EVENINGS Ar HOME.

The long evenings which follow the
short days are made, in some families,
the happiest OF all happy, times. The
cares Of the day are ended the moth
er's resting time has come the father
has dropped all sorts of business wor-
rics and perplexites, and the whole
family throw themselves with zest into
the innocent pleasure Of the home cir
Gle. Solomon tells us that there is a
time for all things time to weep, q
time to laugh, to dance, and to play
Surely the time to laugh, play and
dance comes most appropriately in the
long, pleasant evening hours, when
"The cares that nfest the day
Fold up their tents like the Arabs
And silently steal away" Naf
1t is well for women Of the house
hold to remember that the pleasant
evenings at home are strong antidotes
to the practice oflooking for enjoyment
abroad, and seeking for pleasure IN for.
hidden places for relaxation and rec
reation will be INDUCED in somehow
by most men, and happy are they who
find in the home circle the diversion

WHO ARE ENTITLED TO ADMISSION INTO
SCHOOL,

Information has been made TO me
that directors in many Of our districts
demand tuition from persons who
secure children to stay with them and
work mornings and evenings for their
board and attend school. Secton 81 of
School Laws, says; "Tho conditions
that would give a child right to vote,
if "a citizen, would give him a right to
attend school. If a child reside in an.
other district with grand parent or
other relation, as member of the
family, or is working for his boarding
and clothing, or for money, with priv.
ilege TO attend school part Of the time I;
or is in any other way separated from
his parents, with consent of the latter,

dence, and q right of admission to the
