THREE INDIsPENsABLEs.

Three things belong to such life as
pleases God. The first one is a right |
PURPOSE. Every life that deserves the
name must have central purpose which
controls the conduct as the rudder guides
the ship. The purpose of Erasmus was
to amass learning. "When | get any
money" said this sturdy Dutch scholar,
II buy books. If have any money
left | buy Clothes Many poor min
lister of Christ has cared more to feed
his hungry soul with savory volume
of Bible Exposition, than to cover his
back with broadcloth. Stanley's one
brave purpose was to open the Dark
Continent to the daylight; he stands
already first among living explorers.
Paul's single purpose is condensed into
the matchless line, "For me to live is
Christ" Life and Christ were identi-
cal with him. Preaching Christ was
his business; obeying Christ was his
law loving Christ was the inward flame
which drove the engine; glorying in
the cross of Christ was his loftiest am,
bltion. 1t was no sudden flash of en-
thusiasm, but conviction interlocked
with the very fibre of his soul that made
him cry out "Not /, but Christ that
liveth in me.
The second essential to true life is
a right PRINCIPLE. The severest op-
probrium upon any man is to say he is
"unprlncipled. This is the clew to
the disgraceful falls of some church
members. They really have not "Christ
formed within" them. But when there
is genuine grace deep down in the heart
when conscience is both enlightened and
controlled by Jesus, man can be trust
ed anywhere. The strain-so to speak
does not come upon him so much as
it comes upon the divine power which
dwells in him. "Whom shall we trust
nowadays ?" is sadly frequent ques
ton. Nobody" we would answer
"who does not trust God.
A righteous purpose and righteous
principle never make life effective
without right PLAN. No life is we'll
planned which despises small things

Eva had been eclipsed in her Latin

many races, and earning several thou
sand dollars besides, for breeding In
fact, no poor. low priced colts were offer
ed, or found. Many colts were sold to
be trained for the turf, and for breed
ing others did service before carriages
and stage coaches. Morgan stock, all
over New England, was sought for at
good paying figures, and trotting gigs
were in great demand. Many fine colts
were broke at two and three years old,
trained and timed over race courses IN
Vermont Black Hawk withstood more
hard service than any other entire horse
before him. During his two last years
his earnings were $4,000. after which
he was allowed to rest, turning off many
applicants even at high figures.
In the winter and spring of l648, l
agreed with his proprietors to challenge
all citizens of the United States and
Canadas to match Black Hawk with any
entire horse in America, the place of
meeting Saratoga Springs, at the next
coming State fair, purse $500, to be
awarded to the owner or exhibitor of
such entire horse as should carry ma
jority of the points named, to wit: (D
Perfection of symmetry. (2) Ease and
elegance of action. (3) The best and
most perfect broke to harness. az The
fastest trotting in harness.
This challenge was not taken, but
the Albany Trotting Club matched
Morse's Grey, from Cambridge, N. Y.
with Black Hawk, over the Saratoga
course, mile heats, best two in three.
On the ground the Albanians seemed
sure, and cried out, "One hundred to
seventy the Grey horse wins. Black
Hawk won the first heat with apparent
ease, and distanced the grey on the Sc.
cond heat, time about 2:40 One re-
markable feature in Black Hawks races
over any course, was the fact that he
would never break his trot, even wher
severely urged. He ended the mare

THE COMMERCIAL VALUE OF A KIss.-In the
course OF human events girl is certain to get
kissed more or less-probably more but it isnt
always that the fact gets before court and
into the newspapers, for all that. Such things
do happen sometimes, however, TO the ever
lasting disgrace OF men who 20 about kissing
the wrong erl. More than year ago Thomas
Eppley, Of Lycoming County, kissed Delilah
Boswell. Delilah was bending over a wash-tub
at the time doing the Boswell family wash and
didn't think much about the matter. 1t was an
exceedingly lucky thing for Thomas, because
it would be very much like any girl infuriated
by kiss to pour soapsuds over the offender or
duck him in the tub. After year however,
Delilah suddenly revived the memory Of the
KISS in oil its dreadful details; suddenly blush
ed, suddenly grew awfrly indis snant, and in an
impetuous sort Of way, concluded TO prosecute
the man who had taken the Jlnss, for damages.
The case came befor the Court OF Quarter
Sessions at Wiliamsport few days ago, and
the jury-having been around washtub itself
some in Its time, probably--decided that Thos.
was not guilty and that Delilah should pay the
cost. This is decision that decides, and s
not only warning to precipitate young women
who get indignant at nothing a yearafter it
happens, but it gives kissing fair chance to
revive along with the threatened revival of
general business. The Lycoming County Jul
has done the civilization of the age priceless
service in ssserhng mans's right to fat kiss

SCHOOL LAW.
From the Lansing Republican.

From the Lansing Republican. f.f 'iN fNf
The following is the full text OF the decision
OF the supreme court in the case OF school dis
trict No. OF the township OF Marathon VS..
Frank W. Gage.
TEACHERS WAGES AND HoLrDAys. Gage sued
| for his compensation as teacher in school dis
/ trict No. 4 of Marathon Two defenses we're
set up. first OF garnIshee proceedings, IN winch
the district appeared and submitted to garnish-
ment OF the money due to Gage and second,
that deduction should be made for holidays
when there is no school kept open.
The garnishee statute relating TO justices
does not allow garnishce proceedings against
municipal corporations. c. L., s 64c3 A school
district is very clearly such corporation under
our laws, as we decided in Seeley vs. Board OF
Education, October term, 1876. There is also
further prohibition against such process against
public officers for money due by them officially,
6503. 1t is not consistent with pubic policy
to subject the stipends OF persons in public
employments to be suspended or reached in
that way, OF to allow public corporations to be
brought needlessly into private liIgaton.
There ia no fct' in the waiver OF obJecuon
to the jurisdiction. The exemption realy be-
longs to the person whose debt Is garnisheed :,
and not to the debtor. (Johnson VS.. Dexter,
SO Mich.) The earnshee, cannot without the
debtors consent subject his rights to any un-
lawful burden.
In regard TO deduction for holidays, we are
OF opinion that school management. should
always conform to those decent usages which
recognize the propriety of omittng TO hold
public exercises on recognized holiday, and
that it Is not lawful to impose forfeiture or
deductions for such proper suspensions of
labor. Schools should conform to what may
fairly be expected OF all institutions in civilized
communities. All contracts for teaching dur
ing periods mentioned must be construed of
necessity as subject to such days OF vacation,
and public policy as well az usage requires
that there should be no penalty aid upon
such observances
