NVIOLABLE.

A friends secret is ever his property,
even when confded to another: The
confdant should lock it up, even from
his own thoughts. He should not be
content with retaining from betraying
it to others, he should also refrain from
betraying it to himself. IF a man con-
signs casket containing treasure to the
care Of another, he will justly feel that
his confidence has been to degree vio-
lated if he comes to know that the latter
has been in the habit of unlocking the
casket and porting over its contents day
after day as if it were his own, and that,
too, in an exposed position. So with
the secret. Though confded to friend,
it still belongs to him by whom it was
confded, who has his own reasons for
performing this act Of friendship; and
to have it continually before the mind
is not only making, in one sense, anoth-
er's property ones own, but it is ex-
posed to the danger of escaping at any
unguarded moment in one form or an
other, sufficiently at least to give grounds
to surmises which may closely bear upon
the truth.

An unArERAcrIHE rRAIr.

Candid people are dreaded by their
neighbors. Indeed, the most disagree
able people one meets are those who re-
igiously speak their minds and tell the
truth on every occasion. And it is a
very serious question to decide when to
tell the truth and how much of it to tell
What we call fiattery is simply q ,silken
tissue Of harmless falsehood, the object
of which is to make people feel COM
Portable. A candid man is kind of
burr in the worlds hair, and while the
man of tact smooths the rough edges of
life and makes his neighbors happy the
man of candor is q constant Irritation.
Still, blunt truth bluntly told has its
occasional use. "What did you think
Of" said one boon companion to an
other, "when you woke up in the ditch
the other day, after your carouse ?"
"Think OFF," was the caustic reply,
"weli, the first thing I did was to con-
slider why in the world you were not ly-
ing beside me-" That man deserved a
taking down, and tits to be hoped he
benefited by it.

HAPPY PEOPLE.
reprOacL

A poetical writer has said that some
men meve through life as Il band Of
music moves down the street, finging
out pleasure on every side through the
air to every one, far and near, that can
listen. Some men fill the air with their
strength and sweetness as the orchards
in October days fill the air with ripe
fruit. Some women cling to their own
houses like the honeysuckle over the
door, yet, like it, fill all the region with
the subtle fragrance of their goodness.
How great a bounty and blessing is it
SO to hold the royal gifts of the soul
that they shall be music to all! It
would be no unworthy thing to live for,
to make the power which we have with
in us the breath of other mems joy; to
fill the atmosphere which they must
stand in with a brightness which they
cannot create for themselves.

srARTLIYG SURPRISE.

A startling surprise, after the fashion
of the story Of Ginevra, was experienced
by party Of Syrian wood-cutters in
the forest of Drommling. They began
to fell venerable oak, which they soon
discovered to be quite hollow. Being
half decayed, it speedily came to the
ground with crash, disclosing skele-
ton in excellen preservation. Even the
boots, which came above the knees,
were almost perfect. By it's side was a
powder-horn, porcelain pipe-bowl, and
o silver watch, on which was engraved
the name III. Won Krackowitz, 1872"
The teeth were perfect. 1t would seem
to be the skeleton of man between 80
and 40 years Of age. It is conjectured
that, while engaged in hunting, he
climbed the tree for some purpose and
slipped incautiously into the hollow
trunk, from which there was no release,
and he probably died Of starvation.

SHE KNEW ALL ABOUT IT.

Just about midnight, four men in a
Detroit saloon sat looking at "a fifth. The
fifth man was drunken than the other
four. While all men were created equal,
some men get drunk twice as fast as
others.
cit will never do to send him home in
this condition, said one of the four after
a long silence.
Ono, it would break his wife's heart, "
added a second.
"But we can't leave him here, and if
we turn him out the police will run him
in" observed the third.
~ have been thinking" unused the
fourth. ''He has a telephone in his
house. There is one here. Twill make
it my painful duty to inform his waiting
and anxious wife that he won't be home
tonight.
He went to the telephone, got her call,
and began:
Mrs. Blank, I desire to communicate
with you regarding your husband. -
"Well, go ahead"
He is down town here"
:" know that much.
"In descending the stairs leading from
the lodge-room he fell and sprained his
ankle"
care you sure it wasn't his neck 2"
she asked.
cit is not a serious sprain, but we
think it better to let him lie on the sofa
in the ante-room until the morning. Rest
assured he will have the best of care.
We are doing ey-"
"Say /" broke il a sharp voice, "you
bundle him into a wagon and drive him
up here, where I can keep him hid until
that drunk goes off! He won't be
sober before tomorrow night"
"My dear mad"
"Get out If he's sleepy drunk put
water on his head That's the way al
ways dor
evil you let me inform you that"
ono, sir, I won't! Throw water ON
his head, get him into some vehicle and
rattle him up here, for it's most mid
night now, and it will take me half an
hour to get his boots off and push him
upstairs Remember, pour water on his
head and yell fire in his ear !"-Detroit

SELF Help.

Fight your own battles, asking favors
Of no one, and you will succeed far bet
ter than those who are ever turning, first
this way and then that, for little help.
No one can ever help you as you can
help yourself, for no one will have the
interest in your affairs that you, of
course, feel. The man who pushes on
through thick and thin with unfagging
purpose and indomitable courage, in
nine cases out of ten, makes name and
place for himself which people honor
and admire. The old motto, "There is
no such word as fall" should be i'm
pressed upon the young. Lies ways
are rugged and full Of thorns, and it is
only the brave in heart who can hope
to battle q way to fame and fortune.
He who waits for others to push him
will find himself passed on the road
by those who. push themselves. Peo-
pie who have been bolstered up all their
lives are like reeds in an emergency.
No one can lean upon them, and if they
cannot find prop for themselves down
they go, and cannot help themselves up
again, but must wait for some friendly
hand to raise them. These "boosted "
people never accomplish anything in
the world. They are not trusted be-
cause they do not trust themselves. It
is Of little consequence to the world If
they sink or swim, and even a mans
best friends grow tired of helping him
over obstacles he ought to surmount
alone. The man who learns to conquer
circumstances is Independent Of fortune,
and will receive more smiles than howns
from the tickle goddess.
The ambitious and industrious man
has little patience with, Or regard for,
the man content to remain at the bot
tom of the ladder all his life. The man
who keeps his wagon wheel in the rut
all the way to town simply because it is
too much trouble to get it out, is apt
to accomplish as little good to mankind
as the one who expects to be "boosted !"
along through life. Both belong to the
same family, and merit pity more than
renroacb

THE UNATTAINABLE.

We are always striving for the things
just out Of cur reach. The glittering
pleasure in the distance looks brighter
and fairer than anything we possess.
The friend who reaches out hand and
offers us his sympathy is put carelessly
aside, while we are eager to win the
friendship of those who have nothing to
give us but GOODNESS. And the sunshine
of to-day is not so golden as that of to-
morrow will be. Forgetting Or neg
Letting the small pleasures of life,
which the present holds for us all, we
look forward to the future, which is to
bring us perfect happiness. When that
future becomes present, we are as far
from happiness as ever. We must not
expect that the time will come to any
of us when happiness Will be ours with
out being linked with sorrow. Nor
should we forget the blessings that sur
round us in the present-the word Of
sympathy, the smile, the true friend,
the sunshine, and all the countless
small joys Of to-day. Tomorrow may
bring unexpected pleasures if we i'm
prove the present. But if we neglect
the golden opportunities Of to-day, it
will hold nothing for us but pain and
remorse. Let us, then, do our duty in
the present, nor try to crush the long
ing and aspiration in our souls which
will not permit us to be satisfied with
the now, but urges us on to something
higher and purer. Life, with its losses
and sad surprises, may not be able to
quiet this longing for that which we do
not possess. But somewhere, we trust,
when our souls have blossomed into
perfect beauty, the yearning will be
fully satisfied, and the now unattainable
will be ours to keep and enjoy with
far greater enjoyment than we are now
capable of.

POISONING THROUGH Il
DRESS.

ARGENT number of the Neue Freie
Presse, of Vienna, gives. on the au-
thority Of the Berliner Borsea Courier,
the following account Of arsenical poi
soning through a dress: A certain
Commetzienrath l. brought home
for his. daughter, from q wel-known
Partisan atelier, splendid dark-green
dress trimmed with ight-green leaves.
,The dress was frequently worn, but after
time the lady, who had very beauti-
full complexion, remarked an outbreak
of pustules on her neck and arms, which
we're especially painful at night. For a
long time she concealed herstate from her
parents and the family physician, but,
after applying in vain all kinds Of do
nestle remedies, she could no longer
keep the matter secret, as she had be-
come much worse. The family doctor
at once recognized the effect of arssn-
ical poisoning, and on chemical examin-
alton detected large percentage Of ar
senic in the material of the dress.

King Humbert is a man of kindly
feeling, and does many an aniable thing.
When at the Turin Exhibition, lately,
an old usher suddenly interposed be-
tween the King and his attendants and
thrust petition into his hands. The
attendants were much alarmed. This
usher, an old soldier SCARED with
wounds, had formerly often tried, but
in vain, to accost the King, and pur-
posely engaged as servant to the Elk
hibition in the hope Of an opportunity
occurring. Baron GAMBIA severely re-

EATING CROW.

EATING CROW.
A correspondent asks us the origin OF
the phrase "Eating crow" AS the time
is near at hand when a good many plates
will be served from that unsavory dish,
it may be of general interest to read of
it, and we therefore give the story ac-
cording to our recollection Of it, as told
some twenty five years ago in the Knick-
erbocker Magazine. An old farmer who
lived somewhere on the Hudson, below
Albany, was in the habit Of taking in
few summer boarders to exc out the
earnings Of the farm. Like most farmers
who take summer boarders and have, at
the same time, a convenient market for
their produce, this thrifty successor Of
the Knickerbockers was accustomed to
send all the best products Of his farm
and the choicest butter from his dairy
to market, often returning from town
with inferior articles, which he had
purchased at greatly reduced price,
safely hidden away in his wagon-box, to
be struggled into the kitchen and palmed
off upon the confding boarders as home
grown products. Finally some of the
boarders began to grumble. They had
boarded in the country before, and knew
what fresh vegetables and berries, new
laid eggs and ''grass" butter were, and
they were conscious of the fact that they
were not getting what they were entitled
to. To all their complaints the farmer
returned answer that they were en-
tirely "too pertickeler,' that it
was foolish and sinful to panper
ones appetite; that ordinary food
was best in the long run, and winding
up invariably with the remark: ST
kin eat anything; I kin eat a crow. -
This last remark was repeated so often
that it made an impression on one Of the
boarders, who, being out shooting one
day, and having popped over crow,
determined to put the gastronomic abii-
ties of his host to the test. He carried
the bird home, had the cook dress it,
and gave her instructions to cook it for
dinner. Then, fearful that the hardy
farmer might have stomach even for
such dish, and SO make good his boast,
he slipped into the kitchen while the
bird was cooking, and seasoned it iber-
ally with Scotch snuff. In time the
dish was sent to the liable, and the
boarder placed IL before the host, with
the remark s'Now, you have been
steadily proclaining your ability to eat
a crow. Here is one cooked to turn.
Try it, The farmer was taken some
what aback, but had too much pluck to
acknowledge himself beaten without a
trial. He accordingly attacked the dish,
with the remark ST kin do it" At
the second bite he repeated: ST kin
eat crow" and, as he suddenly sus-
pended the operation Of cutting the
third mouthful, and began to retreat
toward the door, he added, "but dang
me if I banker arter it -Iaadianapo-
