The saeredness Premise.

An eminent British state 5nan is said
to have traced his own sense OF the
sacredness ofa promise to curious
lesson he got from his father when he
WAS a boy. When home for the holi'
days and walking with his father in the
garden, his father pointed to a wall
which he intended to have pulled dow .
oh said the boy. Il should like to
see a wall pulled down.
We'll, my boy, you SHALL said the
father.
The things, however, escaped his
memory, and during the boys absence
a number ofimprovements were being
made, and among them this wall was
torn down and new one built up in
it's place. When the boy came home
and saw it, he said:
o father, you promised to let me
see that wall torn down.
Instantly the father remembered his
promise, and was deeply panied to think
that he had seemed careless about bis
plighted word.
My boy he said, you are right. !
did promise, ard ought not to have
forgotten. 1t is too late now to do just
what | said would, but you wante d to
see wall pulled down. and so you
shall.
And he actually ordered the masont
up and made them pull down and re-
build the new wall, that as nearly a:
possible his promise might be made
1t cost me twenty pounds, he said to
friend who was bantering him abut it,
but, he said, If it had cost a hundred
should have thought it cheap way OF
impresslng on my boys mind as long as
he lives the importance that man
of honor should attach to his pllghted

AROmanse from Far ALASKA.

A young man who was In Alaska
some four years ago fell IN love with
the only young lady on the island, a
girl of fifteen, who was possessed ofex-
traordluary beauty, and whose hair fell
below her knees. But he was unable
to communicate the old, old story to
her, tor she did not understand
word of English, nor did she speak
Russian. In his dilemma the arrival OF
the priest on his one-in-two-years visit
was a godsend, and TO him he made
known his love. The priest, knowing
the young man to be possessed OF a high
character and fair fortune, thought 1t
was a lucky chance for the young lady
to escape from life of such insulation,
and he willingly persuaded her mother
Cher father was dead) to consentto to the
match, but the young lady herself was
not to be persuaded. She argued that
she had never spoken to the young
man who expressed such desire to be
her husband, aud only seen him twice,
aud he had been on the island only for
ty-eight days, but her objections were
overruled, and the marriage took place
After living in Alaska several months,
the young brought hi, bride to his home
in Cleaveland, D. She was astonished
at the fashions she saw, and declared
that nothing would induce her to wear
her hair otherwise than flowing, as she
mad always worn it. But before twen-
ly-four hours had passed her mother-in--
law had persuaded her to try the effect
Of braids around her broad and shapely
head; and now she dresses as much in
the fashion as any lady in Cleaveland.
Last gear her husband went to Alaska
again and brought home the younger
sister, who eleven years Of age, and
promises to be as beautiful as the older.
The mother, bereft Of both her children,
still ciings to her home on one ofthe
island. ofAlaska.

Did He Tell A Lie 2

A good story is told oil a ship owner
of Liverpool, which will bear repeating.
Our merchant was a Quaker. and pri
ded himself on his honesty. He would
not have told downright ialsehood to
save the value of his best ship. jacob
suffered one of his ships to set sail from
Calcutta for home without an insurance
upon either vessel or cargo. AT length
he became uneasy. He was confident
his ship had encountered bad weather,
and he feared tor her safety. In this
strait he went TO his friend Isaac. He
called him friend, though We are under
the impression that Isaac was one of
the children of Israel.
Friend Isaac, he said, i would like
Cor thee to insure my ship which IS at
sea. l should have done it before, but
have carelessly neglected it. II thee
canst have the policy signed, all ready
Tor delivery, at three o'colck on the
afternoon Of the morrow, l will send
and get it, and send thee the money in
FULL
Isaac did not seem 10 be anxious to
insure the ship. but upon being assured
that no unfavorable intelligence had
been heard from her he said he would
have the policy made out, to take effect
Un and after three O'Clock Of the Dllow-
ing day but to cover the ship and ear
20 from the date OF her leaving India.
Early on the following morning Jacob
received message by the hand OF a
captain Just arrived, to the effect that
his ship was stranded and her cargo
lost. THIS was very unfortunate. Should
Friend Isaac happen to hear the news
before the policy was made out, he
would not make it at all or, if it was
made and not signed, he would not
sign it. what should he do II wanted
10 act honestly. ItwOuld not be right
to let Isaac 60 and make cut that policy
under such circumstances Finally he
hit upon a plan. He summoned his
confidential clerk. and sent him with
this message
Tell friend Isaac that l have heard
rom my ship, and If the policy is not
signed he need not sign it.
The clock was close upon the stroke
Of three when the clerk arrived. Friend
Jacobs message was delivered. The
ship had been heard from, and if the
policy was not yet signed, he need not
sign it.
L think | am in season to save it,
the clerk said.
No, sir answered Isaac. promptly
and emphatically Now, in truth, the
policy of insurance had not been signed,
tor the insurer had been IN doubt; but
when he heard the message he judged
at once that the ship was safe, and that
Jacob sought to save the heavy item OF
premium he had agreed to pay.
No, SIR he said; you are not in
time. 1t is past three o'clock. The
policy is signed. l will so and get it.
He slipped out and hastily finished
and signed the policy, and, having dried
the ink, he brought it to the clerk, de.
manding in return the sum which had
been agreed upon, The money was
paid and the policy was taken home to
Friend Jacob. who received it very
gladly.
The end we can readily imagine and
1t is not difficult to judge which OF the
two felt most sore over the matter.
