founded or cunning and dishonesty. The
tricky and dceeitful man is sure to fall a vic
tim, sooner or later, to the influences which
are forever working against him. His
house is built upon the sand, and its founda-
ton will be certain to give way. Young
people cannot give these truths too much
weight. The future of that young man is
safe who eschews every phase of double
dealing, and lays the foundation of his ca
rleer in the enduring principles of everlast-
ing truth.

GEORGE Tvs extravaganza and love Of
spending had no bounds, provided that it
was not his w money that he spent. He
always had money, although pretending at
the time he hadn't. When he died there
was found el0,0 900 in his boxes, and money
scattered about everywhere, a great deal Of
gold. There were about 500 p~ocketbooks,
of different dates, and in every Que money
guineas, one-pound notes, one, two or three
in each. There never was anything like
the quantity of trinkets and trash that was
found. He had never given away or parted
with anything. There was a :prodigious
quantity of halr-women's hair-of all col
ors and lengths, some locks with the pow
der and pomatum still sticking to them,
heaps OF women's gloves cages d'amo,ay
which he had got at balls, and with the per-
spiration still marked Oh the fingers, notes
and letters in abundance, but not much that
was of any political consequence, and the
whole was destroyed.

EVERY mar of sense ana refinement ad-
mlres a woman as a woman, and when size
steps out of this character, a thousand
things that in their appropriate sphere
would be admired become disgusting and
offensive. That which best becomes u wo-
man is delicacy of appearance and manners,
refinement Of sentiment, eentleness Of
speech, modesty in feeling and action, and
above all a shrinking from notoriety and
public gaze.

Their Views in a Nutshell.

"Honest john Patterson believes
that Hayes is "fraud," but hasn't
made up his mind whether his title
ought to be Investigated.
Senator Coke, of Texas, is another
man who thinks Tilden would have
been inaugurated cit be had exhibits
ed the proper nerve at the proper
time. .........
Kellogg, of, Louisiana, dosen't
want the Presidential controversy re.
opened, but he does "want, more
than anything else, that Mr.. Hayes
should have some respect for those
who helped to put him where he is. :"
Daddy Gain, our do facto Con-
gresham, opposes tho Blair scheme;
zone President at time, if you
please, is quite as much as our coun~
try can stand at present" Smalls
dosen't know how he should vote.-

NO. So

, i-.s :
Harry had seen some older boys
fly their kites from the top of the
houses; and he thought it wopld be
nice fpp if he could do so too, So hS
came to his aunt and said, "Aupt,
may ] go mp to tho top of'the houss

His aunt wished 10 do everything
to please him; but she Thought iS
very unsafe, 80 shesaid; "NO, Harry.

gerous sort Of play. I'D ratlrer you
wouldn't go."" ....~ . -. ...

His aunt smiled and said she hoped
that he wonld always be as obediens
as that. y ~" ''.'
"Harry, what are you doipgg''

"Spinning my top, mamma" .,r
"Oan't you take tho. baby out to

No matter what Harry was asked

slant answer was, can right" He

only learned to obey, but he had
learned to obey in good humor.

Staying Away From Church to Read

Some stay away from church to
read. They say they can find better
religious thinking aid teaching in
their books than in any of the pull
pits noar them. Suppose they can,
do they get better teaching? Are
they actually growing better, more
godly by this reading that keeps
them from the church? Let them be
honest with themselves, an sec if this
is not fiimsy excuse for spending
their Sabhaths, not in mere religions
learning, but over all sorts of books.
Even if they give their Sabbaths mp
wholly TO religious reading, they
have greatly mistaken the aim OF
public Sabbath services, if they think
it can thus be met at home.
God expressly commands us to
"revcrcnce his sanctuary, to lift mp
our hands in his eanctuaEy,," and
promises to come INTO US and bless
us there. We should go to church
to worship; to worship~publcIy and
united1y; as well as to receive in
struction from the preacher. Would
an Israelite have been held blame
less who nevor went to the temple
to worship, because he had the law
athome2 But the church service is, in
a sense, our temple of wol ship. No
other appliance of religious culture
eau take. its place. Abolish all
church services, and you abolish
Christianity. He who stays regular
ly away from church is doing what
little he Can to introduce heathen-
ism. He is contributing his influence
towards secularising his community
If his way was universal, irreligion
would be dominant, and the nation
would slowl y sink back into athc;stic
barbarism.

A DEvoUr L1FE.-Devout life has
untold power. Like the forces OF
nature, it is often hidden or obscure.
but it holds and shakes the world.
Men may refuse to hear your preach
ing; they are not able to evade the
Argument Of q blameIess and holy
life. The aroma Of it fills the atmos-.
phere; it's doctrine dietills like the
gentle dew or like the small rain on
mown grass; its lines 60 through ell
tho earth, it's words to the end of the
world; there is no speeCb OF la8gusge
where-its voice Is not heard. Your
religion, to be Of any worth, p,ust be
such a life. Profession is we'll, bua
it is only the gateway to the life
only the sign OF the inward substance.
The Gospel was not proclaimed to
give you creed, butt render pos-
siLle to you devout lite, You will
be power among men, not in pros
portion TO yonr knowledge, or your
natural endowment, but in propor~
ton to the .sanctity and fullness of
vonr religious life,

BE AGREEABLE AT MEALs.-Every
ono can do something to add to the
social lifo of the table. If ono cannot
talk, he can liston, or ask questions,
aad draw out others who can talk
Good listeners are as necessary as
good talkors. Never argue at tho
table, but tell pleasant stories, relate
Or read anecdotes, and look out for
the good Of all. Sometimes single
anecdote from paper starts q con-
vorsation. A family table ought to
bo bright and oneorful, sort of do
mestic altar, where. %%every one casts
down his or her Offering, great or
small, of pleasantness and peace;
whore, for at least space in tho day,
all annoyancos are laid aside, all
stormy tcmpors hushed, all quarrels
healed; every one boing glad and con-
tent to sit down at tho same board,
and cat tho same bread and salt, with
contented and thankful hearts.

EXECUTION BY THE GUILLoTINE.-A
friend once described to us an exc
cution which he witnessed in Paris,
outside the walls Of the city prison,
and in the public street. 1t took
place in the gray OF dawn, and at
the precise hour indicated in the
sentence. A squad Of soldiers filed
out OF the gates, and in a twinkling
put together the machinery Of tho
gulllotine, son'o Of them sprinkling
sawdust on the pavement while it
was being put up. Before this was
fairly finished the gate swung open,
and The criminal and executiouer and
the spiritual adviser marched out
Whatever religious exercises were
essential had been attended to within
the prison. The criminal, with his
hands bound behind him and a cap
drawn over his head, was led forth,
his body bont forward over the car-
riage, which, as ho pressed it, shot
forward on noiseless wheels, and the
knife fell with glitter Of its keen,
polished edge; the head dropped into
the basket awaiting it, the body was
placed in coffin, the machinery
taken mp, and the whole scene was
over. Within ten minutes, by the
watch OF the witness, every trace Of
the execution was over. The SOL
diers, the priest, the executioner had
disappeared, and there was not even
a drop OF blood upon the pavement
to indicate that tragedy had been
there enacted.-Cairo Bulletin.

ple, has lived and has died tile
death that waketh no more. ,-...
The best Of men are swept into
the vortex, and cease to bo citizens
in any sense; and before they are
aware oft, they are gathering fag-
gots for the funeral pile of the coun-
try when all that is left them of q
once beauteops organized life will be
but the dnet and ashes of that which
was just now instinct with life, with
love and big hope. They have thus
lived perchance to learn that their
country like themselves is but moral,
and to morn for aye, that which
they find, too late, was the dearest
otject OF possession--a free, happy,
united state. Let US al recall the
motto of Massachusetts, and profit
by it: Ense petit placidam sub liberS
tate quietem. Yes! We may reach
quiet with the sword; but peace is
alone the boon of liberty !--Speights'

A Great Curiosity.

Silver Spring, Florida, is one OF
the greatest curiosities in tho South.
1t bursts forth in the midst of the
most fertile county in the State. It
bubbles up in basin near 100 teot
deep, and about one acre, in extent,
and sending from it 9 deep stream
60 to 100 feet wide, and tending
six to eight miles to the Ocklawaha
River. In the spring itself sixty
boats may lie at anchor-quite feet
The spring thus forms natural in~
land port, to which three steamers
Iow run regularly from the st Johns
making close connections with the
ocean steamers at Palatka. The
clearness of the water is truly won~
derful. It seems even NOR transpa.
reht than air; you see the bottom
eighty feet below the bottom of your
boat, the exact form Of the smallest
pebble, the outIiue and color of tho
leaf that has sank, and all the pris-
matic colors of the rainbow are re-
hected. Largo fish vim in it, ovory
scale visible, and every movement
distinctly seen. II you go over the
spring in boat You will see the fsr
snres in tho rocks, from which the
rivor rushes upward like all inverted
cataract.

Sitting Bull as a Literary Cuss."

Il. d. Clarke, u. S. army, sends to
the President copies OF number of
the writings of Sitting Bull, includ-
ing Intercepted letters and some of
his poems, They show that the war;
rior is not the untutored savage he is
generally supposed. to be. One of
his letters to Father Frene, the
Catholic missionary, is in French,
and another to Chief Joseph is in
Latin. Translations of both are
furnished. The letter to Joseph is
tromthe "cammp beyond the bound
ary 'line," or in latin "castris trans
terminos." In this letter he says:-
81 came here-here into British ter-
ritory-with all my forces, and un-
broken strength, and here it is my
purpose to remain. / have always
been most kindly affected toward
the British authorities. But alas for
the justice of mani That mean gov
ernment on whose protection / had
30 confidently relied is already pre-
pared to deliver me over to my cn>
emies. think, therefore, that fur
ther fighting would only occasion loss
of our people. Such being the state
OF affairs, and the enemy also sending
commissioners to treat of peace, it
seems we would do we'll to accept
such terms as may be offered u.s.
He is sorry, he says, that he came to
this post, and adds poem (also in
Latin) 10 the letter which he has
"with pen long disuscd cot down."
Tho poem agrees in tho tone with
the letter. The communication,
which, Ns before stated, is in Latin,
is signed, "Iaurus Qui Sedet"--tho
bull who sits or Sitting Bull. 1t WAS
written, it will be observed, before
the commissioners appointed 'bS the
Government to treat with him had
arrived, and it will be. observed that
with the Indian consistency he treat
ed those officials in directly an OBJ

The OLD MAN.-Bow low the head

The OLD MAN.-Bow low the head
boy; do reverence to the old man.
Once like you, the vicissitudos have
silvcrcd the hair and changed the
round morry face to the worn visage
before you. Onco that heart boat
with aspirations cooaqual to any that
you havo felt; aspirations crushed by
disappointment, as yours are; perhaps,
destined TO be. Once that form stalk.
cd proudly through the gray scenes
Of pleasure, the boau-idoal of grace.
Now the Hand of Time, that withors
tho flower of yesterday, has wrapped
that figure and destroyed the noble
carriage. Once at your age, he pos
sessed tho thousand thoughts that
pass your brain.
