SCANDAL.

A woman to the holy father went,
Confession of her sins was her intent;
And so her misdemeanors great and small,
She faithfully to him rehearsed them all;
And, chiefest in her catalogue of sin,
She owned that she tale bearer had been,
And bore bit Of scandal up and down
To all the high toned gossps of the town.
The holy father for her other sin
Granted the ablution asked of him;
But while for all the rest he pardon gave,
He told her this offense was very grave,
And that to do fit penance she must go
Out by the wayside where the thlstes grow,
And gathering the largest, ripest one,
Scatter it's seeds, and that when this was done,
She must come back again another day
To tell him his command she did obey.
The woman thinking this a penance light,
fastened to do his will that very night,
Feeling right glad that she had escaped 30 we'll.
Next day but one she went the priest to tell;
The priest sat still and heard her story through,
Then said '"There's something still for you to DO
Those thistle seeds which you have sown
bid you 60 regather, every one."
The woman said, "But, father, 'twould be vain
To try to gather up those seeds again;
The wind hath scattered them both far and VIDE
Over the meadowed vale and mountain side.'
The father answered, "Now, hope from this
The lesson have taughtyou will not miss;
You cannot gather back the scattered seeds,
Which far and wide will grow to noxious weeds
Nor can the mischief once by scandal sown
By any penance be again undone."

INTEGRITY AND INDEPENDENcE.-I is q
misfortune to be poor, but not crime-un.
less one keeps up appearances at the expense
Of others, contracting debts he cannot pay,
borrowing money he connot return, etc. This
trying to seem what we are not has become
the bare ofsociety and like what is called
mimicry among insects, produces a nonde-
script race very difficult to define or assign to
its proper place in the order to WI: II it evil
dently belongs Of course, we are not advo-
eating the exposure of mans business at
fairs to everybody with whom he comes into
business or friendly relations but we do hold
that he has no right to pretend to be better
off in worldly goods than he is in fact; for to
do so is deception which is but another
name for dishonesty. By strict economy,
and adoption of manner of living suitable
to our means, the pressure of poverty may
be removed in time. To be sure it is hard
to deny one self luxuries of life, and resolute-
ly turn from all expensive pleasures.-But it
must be done if wealth is to be gained. There
is pleasure in selfdenial that majority Of
our people never experienced, and it comes
most gloriously, and is extremely satisfactory
to the one practicing it, when he can say,
II owe no man anything" and at the same
time has hundred dollars in his pocket,
but, wanting some article costing two, he re-
fuses to purchase until, through self-denial,
the other hundred is obtained. 1t requires
some courage to adopt such system Of living
and dealing, but it has this, a recommenda.
tion-it is perfectly safe and honorable, and
deceives no one.

SOME DAY

SOME DAY.
You smooth the tangles from my hair
With gentle touch and tenderest care,
And count the years ere you shall mark
Bright silver threads among the dark
Smiling the while to hear me say,
'sYou'll think of this again some day
Some day"
do not scorn thy power of time,
Nor count the years of fadeless prime;
But no white CLEANS will ever shine
Among these heavy locks OF mine;
Aye, laugh as gayly as you may,
You'll think Of this again some day
.s..,a Some day! 81
Some day shall not feel, as now,
Your soft hand move aboutmy brow;
shall not slight your light commands,
And draw your tresses through my hands;
Ishall be silent and obey
And you-you will not laugh some day
Some day!
Iknow how long your loving hands
Will linger irthese glossy bands,
When we shall weave my latest crown
Of their thick masses, long and brown;
But you will see no touch of gray
Adorn their shining length that day
Some day!
And while your tears are falling hot
Upon the lips which answer not,
You'll take from these one treasured tress,
And leave the rest to silentness-
Remember that used to say,
"You'll think f this again some day
Some dayP

TO BE CONTINUED.

ORIGIN OF "E PLUR1BUs UNUM.-"E
Pluribus Unum" first appeared on a copper
coin, struck at Newburg, N. Y, where there
was a private mint. The pieces struck are
dated 1786. In 1887 the motto appeared
on several types of the New Jersey coppers,
also on very curious gold doubloon, or six
teen dollar piece, coined by a goldsmith
named Brasher. It was there put "Unum E
Pluribus." Only four of these pieces are
known to be extant, and they are very valuable.
One of them in the possession Of the mint is
supposed to be worth over $4,000. When
Kentucky was admitted in 1791, it is said
copper coins were struck with "E Pluribus
Unum." They were made in England. The
act of Congress Of 1892, authorizing the
establishment of mint and the coinage Of
gold, silver and copper, did not prescribe this
motto, nor was it ever legalized. 1t was
placed on coins in 1885, and on silver coins
in 1898. It was constantly used thereafter
until 1886, when it was withdrawn from the
quarter-dollar of rev device. In 1884, it was
dropped from gold coins to mark the change
in the standard 6neness of the coins In 1887
it was dropped from the silver coins, marking
the era of the Revised Mint Code. 1t has
been thought proper to restore it recently to
our new silver dollar, without an sanction OF
law, although the expression is one very
proper for our coins.
Cons LovE-And what doth the Lord
require of thee, but only love? But how
great thing is love! Love brought Him
down hither to us; and love will carry us up
to God. Love made him like to man ; and
love is able to make thee like to God. Oh,
the power of heavenly love How shall we
get it planted in our hearts-how, but by
lover The frequent meditation Of this ad.
mirable love Of God in His Son, Jesus
Christ, will not suffer us to love him with all
our heart soul and strength. Let US resolve,
then, that the remembrance of His love shall
lie perpetually in our heart. What more
welcome thought can there be thee every
morning when thou wakest than this: am
the beloved of the King of Glory2 With
what canst thou open thy soul more cheerful
ly? Z. What will brighten it and chase away
the darkness of melancholy, sadness, sorrow,
cares and fears, like to this =? Let the morn

thy mind, and enkindle in thee a new deyo.

Farmer Thorndale's heart, naturally the
kindest and most benevolent in the world,
gradually warmed towards the little child
whom his wife had persuaded him to retain.
The boy, bright, loving little fellow, full of
health, and endowed with rare beauty, was
indeed one whom it would have been difficult
