People That Everybody Like.

When you hear it said of an indi-
vidual that he is universally popu-
lar" just set it down that he is either
a milk sop, not worth hating, or that
be is sneak; hypocrite; a
man with no opinions or ideas of his
own; a mere chameleon, changing
his colors TO suit the company he is
in. No good was ever achieved BY
individuals of such negative charac-
ter. They have not the moral cour,
age to erect standard, either in the
service of God or Satan. Like the
bat of Esep's fable, that, in the con-
Aict between the fowls and animals,
was alternately beast and bird as
victory wavered between the con-
tending parties, this negative go>
between will skulk through life,
furling or unfurling his wings, being
bat or mouse, as he thinks it to
bis advantage. An admirable writer
gives her opinion of the "people
every body likes" in the following
terse passages:
Have the priests and prophets,
thu men aud women heroes of the
world, been Of this kind? Was there
ever auy good wrought, any truth
spoken, any right achieved, that
was not evil spoken of--that had
not to make its way to mans recog-
milton and reverence, through dis
cord and SANDER and foul falsehoodj
happy, if not through imprisonment,
and bloodshed and carnage.
All the world has never fancied
it's deliverers, from Moses to Milton,
and you, reader, do not this hour
enjoy a single social, civil or reli>
| eious right which was not wrought
out for you by men whom very few
people of their day and generation
''liked."
And, agreeing with everybody,
rejecting all manner of opinions and
sentiments, does SO sap ones moral
constitution, weakening slow, but
certain, as the wash of the wave
against the rocks, or the gnawing of
a worm at the roots of trees, ones
spiritual nerve and fibre, making
him or her that weakest, mournful-
est Of all mortal beings-a moral
commissioning South.

was laughing merrily. The next day
they reached c., and Mr.. Wes~
ton took bis little charge home, in
tending to keep her there until he
could find a good boarding school,
but six weeks passed and the little
orphan was still with them, rapidly
winning her way into the hearts
around her. Mrs. Weston did not
mind the noise, and smiled as the
child's gay laugh rang out over the
once quiet house, and Royal, the
quiet man who never before cared
for children, always asked, if he did
not see her when he entered the
house, Where is my little queen =

started forward to awaken her, but
he said, NO, no, mother; don't wake
her. and when May awoke Royal
was gone, and tears welled in her
eyes as she thought, 'He didn't care
enough for me to tell me goodbye
Two years passed, and still Royal
roamed hither and thither, never
thinking that little brown-eyed
girl so longed for his return. The
wound Queenie Harrison had made
was not as deep as he thought, and
he could not help comparing her
to the little girl who had made his
home SO much brighter for five
years, end each day he grew to long
to see the bright face and soft brown
eyes which of late had grown so
dear to him, for at last he knew that
he loved her with purer, stronger
love than that he had given Queenie
Harrison; so, ore tsight 4.~J 4s.ofn>

May was by herself, leaning
against large oak, but she raised
her eyes quickly as she heard

feet and held out her hand, 'Oh,
Roy, l am so glad to see you,'
then added, fearing her greeting
had been too warm, your mother

He threw himself on the grass by
her side as she resumed her seat,
and said more earnestly than the &C.

ded, 'If you did not, am sorry |
