them upas dug, keep them covered
by blanket from the sun while in the

thick, and leave them there until fear
of freezing, when they are placed in
bins in the cellar. The air coming up
from beneath keeps them perfectly

be idle at his own expense, and without
infiicting woe or destitution on Others
But this gives him no right to be idle.
The world is full of work for him and all
other men to do, and the Word of God
commands him to be busy for himself
or for others. 1t commands all to re.
deem the time-to work while it Is day
and throughout the sac-ed volume to
which we look as the standard of true
morality, no sin is more pointedly con-
demued than that Of misuse or waste
Of time. 1t is the duty and the happi-
ness of all alikc-rich and poor--to pro.
itably employ time.
We complain with justice about va.
grancy and idleness among negroes; but
there is too much idleness among whites.
1t is tie duty of the whites to set an ex-
ample OF lndustry-to lead in the path
way OF honorable employment. A man
of wealth and prominence, spending his
time in lounging around, is setting a
bad example to tho young and TO his
subordinatcs, which is effective in aggra-
waiting public idleness. True, all men
are entitled 10 leisure and recreation,

THE czARs CLEMEsCy.
Sending a Young Man so Siberia because Bo
Was Honest.

OF the late Czar Nicholas, Russian
Nihilist tells In the North American Re-
view a striking story. a young student,
relative of the writer, bad with a few
friends formed literary society in which
the works contemporary political econ
omists, publicists, and philosophers were
read and and debated. The secret police
denounced this society ss reyolutiona-
ry organization, and the young student
was imprisoned and condemned TO Siberia.
All possible influence was brought to
bear upon the Car, but in vain, aud ut
last the young mans mother, meeting
the Car one day in the Summer Garden,
knelt and implored her sons pardon, as.
serting his innocence. The Car
seemed touched, and promised to give the
youth o personal interview. The latter
was brought to his Majesty the next day,
and the Gar, forcing him to his knees
before him said: "Can you swear
before the Almighty God .ha: neither
you nor your associates had any erin inal
designs against my life? Can you swear
that you believe in the holiness and eter-
nifty OF the Russian autocracyp The
surprised prisoner answered: ~ can
swear to your Majesty that neither / nor
any of my friends had the remotest idea
against your safety. AS 10 the auto.
cratic form of government, can not con-
scientiously swear that believe in its eter-
nifty. The history of other countries teach
es US that the time must come, even in
Russia, when the people themselves will
take part in its government" The Car
tenderly embraced the student and Civ
ing him y ring drawn from tho imperial
finger, said: "This is token of respect
from your Car. You have been sincere
and truthful to me, and there is nothing
l hate SO much as lie." He then ap.
preached the writing table where lay the
students sentence Of exile, and with one

he said "you are an honest nan, aud an
honest man, true to his convictions, is
more dangerous to autocracy than an un-
principled rascal Therefore, 1 must
punish you, though never was this duty
more painful TO me than now. God bless
you, my sou, and judge mercifully if
should appear to be in the wrong"
Then once more embracing the student,
he dismissed him to Siberia.
