Religion and Honesty.

Is it not time to preach anew the SER
mon of honestly First, to do justly, as
if honesty was the foundation stone,
then to love mercy, and then to walk
humbly.
There is too much one-sided religion.
We know examples of zeal and untiring
energy, in Christian work, in men who
so neglected their own affairs that they
are always under load of debt, and
give honest unbelievers a very poor
opinion of Christian mans business
habits.
Such things ought not to so be. We
know people who are called lights and
shining lights, who not only profess and
call themselves Christians, but do great
deal of real work, who are utterly un-
mindful Of pecuniary obligations, who
fail' when they can pay no longer,
and yet learn nothing of the value of
money, and are just as devout as if they
were not dishonest.
They are unfortunate" true, but
fortune implies chance, and there is no
chance in living within ones income
and paying ones debts. Think of
published Memoir" of q so-called
Christian who, in our opinion, cheated
trades people and defrauded creditors,
while he lived better than they, and
bated no jot of his expenses, or charities.
No wonder that many honest men are
not believers. They attend to their own
affairs and are not always failing.
We want a great many things in these
days, more faith, more love, more self
denial, more Christian zeal; but for
symmetry of character we want more
downright honesty in men and women.
10 do justly, love mercy, and walk
humbly with our Goo, God help us.

And he who had conveyed old Hiram
to the spot where he now stood set upon
the table box like that in which law
yers keep the papers of their clients,
labeled, Hiram Gormley, Esq" From
the depths of this box he took apile of
parchment and read from thence:
A mortgage on the soul of Hiram
Gormley, given on the day he turned
his daughter from the door. Another,
when he seized old widow Potter's fur
niture for rent. Another, when he took
advantage of flaw in the papers to
evade payment of just debt of his
own. Myriads when he first began bus
iness, told fifty lies day, and gave false
weight and measure, and tremendous
mortgage for passing through the world
without one loving, tender, sympathiz-
ing feeling for mankind.
Your soul-bah ! What is it worth
now p''
"I'll take it all back. I'll have my
daughter and her husband home. I'll
pay"-
Too late |" said the dark creature
Too late, Gormley too late !"
But the old man, stretching out his
hands, screamed aloud in terror, and fell
backwards in unconsciousness.
When Mrs. Gormley returned from the
dinner party she found her husband
stretched out upon the hearth-rug, with
a blue lump upon his forehead as large
as hens egg.
When he related his adventure she
considered it dream, and laid the blame
upon the old port in the decanter on the
sideboard; but dream or reality, it had a
strange influence upon old Hiram for in
week he was reconciled to his daugh-
ter, had ignored the flaw and made the
settlement, performed various unwonted
acts of charity, and was, in fact, an ut
terly changed and altered man, while,
singular to say, no earthly power has
yet been able to induce Hiram Gorm-
ley to invest in breadstuffs.

next day and note dispatched to the
lady informing her that at last the tooth
was found. At the given hour the gen
tleman entered the front office and the
lady closely yelled shortly after entered
the rear office, for it was part of the
bargain the gentleman was not to see
the lady.
The tooth was extracted, the money
paid the stranger departed. Then the
tooth was carefully cleansed and submit
ted to delicate treatment to preserve
its. vitality, while the doctor was pre-
pairing the mouth of the lady for its re-
ception.
1t was soon inserted and in the course
of three or four hours had immovably
taken root in its new home. In few
days the operation was pronounced
complete success, and Miss - became
the happiest of girls.
Now for the sequel. With woman's
curiosity she was continually specula-
ting as to whom the tooth belonged, and
the gentleman in turn was cudgelling
his brains for some means to ascertain
the whereabouts of his tooth which had
turned the tide of his affairs so luckily.
For with the money it had brought
him, he had made fortunate purchase
of stock, and step by step he had gone
on with his rapidly accumulating capi-
tai until he had a snug little bank ac-
count and patronized a fashionable
tailor. Chance threw him into select
little party one evening where Miss -
happened to be present and he COM
menced recounting his adventure
When he smiled and pointed to the va
cant place in his mouth where the tooth
had once had its home, Miss - gave q
little shrek and her secret was discover
ed. 1t is rumored that out of this dental
operation veritable love match will
shortly result; and in fashionable Oak
land circles this romance of tooth is
just now the absorbing topic.

UngaIlant.

A newly married man, who evidently
needs discipline, thus discourses GA
woman is handy thing to have about
the house. She does not cost any more
to keep than you'll give her, and she'll
take great interest in you. If you go
out at night, she'll be awake when you
get home, and then she'll tell you all
about yourself, and more too. OF course
she will know where you have been and
what kept you out so late, aud will tell
you: yet right after she get through
telling you that, she will ask you where
you have been and what kept you
so late. And after you tell her. and
she won't believe you, you mustn't
mind that; and if, after going to bed, she
says she hasn't shut her eyes all night,
and then keeps up the matinee two hours
longer and won't go to sleep when she
has a chance, you mustn't mind that,
either; it's her nature.

A STORY OF A TOOTH.

COME months since [says the Oak
~ land, CAL, Ignaes] one of the loveliest
and most accomplished daughters of a
well-known resident was thrown from
her horse and sustained, among other
annoying injuries, a fracture of one of
her front teeth. The delicate pearl
which flashed through slips within
whose rosy labyrinth when she smiled
the soul was lost' was hopelessly crush
ed, and marred the beauty of the lady
considerably. The only remedy for its
injury was to have the root of the bro
ken tooth extracted and false tooth
made to fill the horrid breach in her
mouth.
In her distress she sought the advice
of DR.. Geo. Luce. She had read some
where or been told by somebody that
dentistry had advanced to such science
that it was possible to transplant a tooth
from the mouth of another person which
would take root and bloom as it had in
its original gum.

the broken tooth? If he could he might
name his price. Beauty in distress ap-
peals to DR.. Luce never in vain, so he
informed the grief-stricken maiden that
such operations had been successfully
performed, but in the present case the
difficulty would be to discover tooth
of such purity, delicacy and beauty as
to be worthy to MUNICH caramels and
bonbons in company with those which
now mourned the loss of their crushed
companion. However, he would see
what he could do.
A month or two passed. AT last the
tooth was found. A young Spaniard,
whose well brushed and somewhat faded
habiliments indicated struggle with
fate, entered the Office to receive some
slight dental, attention, His manners
were those of gentleman and his con-
versation denoted intelligence and re.
finement.
When he opened his mouth, the Doc
tor could hardly conceal his EMOTION
There was the tooth he had been look
ing for flashing in its dazzling white
ness, the perfection of form and the
acme Of purity. 1t was indeed GEM
The subject was approached cautiously,
but when the young gentleman spoke
Of his poverty, the Doctor offered him
one hundred dollars for the tooth. The
money tempted the impecunious for
eigner, who Immediately offered all his
stock in trade on the same terms.

GORMLEY'S ADVENTURE.
A Story With a Moral.

old HIRAM GORMLEY was an
" individual whom fortune had not
forgotten in her distribution of the good
things of this world. He had fine for
tune, magnificent dwelling, and a
plump, good-tempered wife. Moreover,
he had great reputation for sanctity
and uprightness, and was an elder of
the church to which he belonged. A
very good man and a thorough christian
old Hiram considered himself, for he
had family prayers every morning,
went to church every Sunday, and al
lowed the cook to give all the uneatable
scraps of bread which remained in the
larder to any beggar who applied for
them. A judicious parent he considered
himself to be, and just one, for when
his only daughter had married against
his will he had cast her off forever, and
refused to see her when she stood weak
and trembling at his door to tell him
that her husband lay upon the verge of
death and that starvation stared them in
the face.
AS she has sowed so she must reap"
he muttered, as he saw her turn away,
hiding her grieved face in her shabby
bonnet. "She might have had old
Grimes and lived in clover and must
abide by it.'
And, so saying, he went back to his
account books and banished his daugh-
ter from his mind as soon as might
be.
Old Hiram Gromley was, have said,
very wealthy, but yet clung to trade
with the utmost pertinacity. Money
getting was his life, and he was never
so happy as when making bargain
Among other things he had speculated
in flour, and had made more, perhaps,
in that line of business than in any
other. How old Hiram and his broth
ers in the trade chuckled as the poor
mans loaf decreased and the store of
their own Golfers augmented, is best
known to themselves.
1t was at such season that Hiram
Gormley sat before his parlor fire, bask-
ing in its blaze and sinking gently into
an after-dinner nap. His portly form
filled the huge velvet chair, and his own
portrait looked from its gilded frame
upon its drowsy original with blended
dignity entirely of the artists own in
vention. Mrs. Gormley had gone out
to dine, and the carriage was to be sent
at an appointed hour, so that the old
man and his portrait were alone togeth-
er in the comfortable room.
They were alone, at least for many
minutes. But as the silver-toned time
piece ruhg out the hour of seven, the
outer door was opened, and a small
man, clad in a faded green velveteen
coat, entered the room with the soft
tread of a stealthy cat. He was queer
looking individual, SO withered and
wrinkled that he might have resembled
some old goblin, and his white hair
stood out, strangely enough, upon either

THE BOSS FOOL.
The farmer roameth o'er his fields,
And gathereth in his grain
But the farmers son, all doubled up
Doth howl and loud complain;
The while, beneath his jacket, he
Doth bear a bitter pain.
The farmer pauses in his work,
And on his rake doth lean;

And many fools have seen;
