A Model Confession.

Several years ago, in Western town, a
young lawyer, a member of large
church, got drunk. The brethren said he
must confess. He demurred. He knew
the members to be al goods people" but
that they had their little faults, sucAs as
driving sharp bargains, screwing the la
borers down to low wages, loaning money
at illegal rates, misrepresenting articles
they had for sale, etc But they we're
good people, and pressed the lawyer to
come before the church meeting and own
up his sin of taking q glass too much 5 for
they were temperance people, and alb
horred intemperance: .,.... y, =, 3oas ta3
s. The sinner finally went to the confess
sion, found a large gathering Of brethren
and sisters, whose bowed heads rose and
whose eyes glistened with pure delight
as the lawyer began his confession.
-" II confess he said "that J never took
ten per cent. for money" ts On that con
fession down went brothers heads with
a groan. Il never, turned a poor man
from my door who needed food or shell

Gentry was wont to employ singular
method Of slaclkening Or quickening the
pace of walking companion 70 suit bis
own inclination. $50 say,'' he would
argue, "you walk too fast or too slow is
unpolite; but to sing softly an air to the
time of the walk Of your companion, and
the by degrees either to quicken the time
or make it slower, is as innocent as it is
convenient" ~ The Iprmciplesof Gretry's
ruse was well exemp]ifed IN the case of
the stingy farmer who gave his hired hay
maker buttermilk and whey for break

The man gaze was fixed upon the
children Sir Williams was fixed upon
him. He thought he remembered him;
and so he did, for it was the! acrobat.
1t was Duval -Duvsail. who lad pray-
ed for ,Vengence as the. sole favor for
which he would trouble heaven. it wa
Duval, at whose door, ii he could be said
ever to have had one, all the miseries of
life had knocked, and at whose hearth
they had seated themselves. For did not
she, whom he had loved more than him
self Martha did she not lie ii her
cold grave, with her baby by her side, in
the same pauper's coffin? And now.
[ what was left to Duval ooaly to wait
for death. Nay, some thing more~ to.iive
for revenge.
No boat made its appearance, the tide
had risen six inches more, and nowathey
saw the boy .kneel down i'm the, water,
and look up as if he wereEpraying. And
only Duval could save him and his
sister-only Duvall He alone of all who
stood there could breast the food to the
rock and bac az ain with the boyy.s -
|3lWhy not tell Sir William so? Whv
not indeed. Is not revenge sweet?
h And. still, the tide was rising. Lady
,Windus, restored for moment to. con
sciousness, but no sooner realized her
position than she relapsed into inssensi-
/ bility. ~ ..s a. j. H.. 1af.s.l.,o,g
"Sir William" said Duval,, sI see YOU
remember me. Once thirsted for re-
.venge upon you. For two: years thirst
ed for it. Heaven has sent it to me.
A bright light shot from his eyes as he
said this, and then walked slowly down
to within a few PAGES IF the water. He
undressed; he waded into the sea till it
came up. to his breast, and then, throw
ing himself forward struck out for Che
rock.
We shall not describe the Joy with
which the; parents, who had watched in
agonized suspense the acrobat's attempt
to rescue their children, received. them
back to their arms. But while they were
fondling them, Duval had dressed and
slipped away. He had regained heiroad,
and was pursuing his journey with a
light step and a light heart, for he had
had his revenge.
No, not all of it. Sir William no soon
er missed MIN than he went in pursuit of
him. = n II - II

is a better way than this. Dry them

We are in receipt Of the receivers annual
report vf the Central railroad Of Iowa made
ron the 18th inst. From il We learn that the
total earnings for 1877 we're S724,SlS.7l and
the total expenses $5l9,62s.lS, leaving a
balance in favor of good management Of
$2O4, l90.53. The cost Of operating it will
be seen, was only 69s per cent. Of The gross
earnings wkich is 5 per cent. lower. than in
1876, when the gross earnings were over,
Sc, 900 less than in 1877. A comparison
with the business of 1875 is still more
marked as far as the cost of operating the
line is concerned, which amounts to II per
cert. OF the earnings. The sho wing made
is creditable indeed to those having charge
of the ,ad when it is considered that they
have labored under the greatest disadvant-
ages from the general stagnation Of business,
the decline in the price Of grain and the
building of other lines tapping the territory
formerly exclusively tributary to the Central
railroad. During the past two years the
road has enjoyed an almost complete exemp-
ton from accidents Of any kind involving
loss Of property or human life. The receiver
in commenting upon this fact says that du-
ring the time, construction and repair
trains have almost constantly imperriled
regular trains; heavy grades are encounter
Cd more than 800 bridges are crossed, which,
like the engines and cars have seen their
best and almost the limit Of service, on worn
iron, supported for miles BY ties never first

In 1872 your vegetinc was recommended to
me, and, yielding to the persuasions Of friend,
consented to try 1t. Al the time was suffer-
Ing from general debility and nervous prostra-
ton, superinduced by overwOrk and irregular
habits. lts wonderful strengthening and cura-
tive properties seemed to affect my debllitated
system from the first dose; and under its per
sistent use rapidly recovered, gaining more
than usual health and good feeling. Since then
have not hestated to give vegetine my most
and powerful agent in promoting health and re-
storing the wasted system to new life and en-
ergy veEettne is the only medicine l use ;
