retribution of events, Cyrus Deane, by
a peculiar succession Of calamities, was
rendered a homeless and ruined man, it
was his brothers roof that sheltered him
and hist was his brothers hand that
bestowed the wherewithal to start anew
lit was his brothers hope and courage
that warded off despair, and saved him
from suicidal grave. More than this
lit was his brothers voice that turned
him, late though il was, from the paths Of
greed-his brothers influence that
sowed in the long-neglected garden Of
his soul the seeds that make for loving
kindness, peace and goodwill to men.
He lives to-day-a childless man still
but every youngster in the village calls
him "Uncle Cyrus" and no man or
woman is afraid to seek favor at his
hands. .- SprtnQfeld Republican.

"Dont Cross a Bridge Until YOu
Come TO It.O

There was once a man and woman
who planned TO spend day at friends
house, which was some miles distant
from their own. So, one pleasant morn
ing. they started out to make the visit
but they had not gone far before the
woman remembered bridge they had
to cross which was very old and unsafe,
and she began to worry about it. "What
shall we do about the bridge ?" she said
TO her husband. II shall never dare to
90 oye- it, and we can't cross the river
any other way" "Oh," said the man,
{" / forgot that bridge; it's bad place.
Suppose it should break through. We
should be drowned" cor suppose you
should step on a rotten plank and break
your leg, what would become Of me and
the baby 2" "I don't know" said the
man, what would become Of any Of
us, for 1 couldn't work, and we should
starve TO DEATH" So they went on wor-
rying till they got 10 the bridge, when
10 and behold since they had been there
last new bridge had been built. and
they crossed over ia ahfeiY, and found
they might as we'll haYc saved them

The Man with the UmbreIla.

Why it is that the public do not look
kindly upon man carrying an umbrella
in hot day is mystery to be solved,
but the fact is they do not, and that not
one man in a hundred has the moral
courage to carry one. Yesterday, when
an eminent and dignified citizen, coming
back from his dinner, turned into Girls
void street with an umbrella over his
head he was accosted with
" Been raining down your way ?"
No, sir
"Going to2"
"No, sir F."
"Then you carry the umbrella to keep
the flies OFF,"
Yes, sir
"Well, that's good plan, and all
soft men ought to practice il. /"
The next man had grin on his face
as he called out
What's that for 4"
"To keep the sun off.
/" What do you want to keep the sun
off forP"
might get sunstruck.
Suppose you did?"
Suppose you mind your own bust
ness, Sir.
The next one presumed upon his long
friendship to halt the man with the UNI
brella and whisper
" Pretty sharp in you, old fellow
keep the edges toward your creditors
and they can't see you"
Other men told him that wearing a
poultice on the head would dispense
with the umbrella, and others said if he
was afraid of his ears being tanned he
should fasten fan on each side of his
hat Not one single man took him by
the hand and encouraged him, and
when he reached the postoflice he was
SO discouraged that he lowered his shade,
and used it to punch the ribs of boy
who had begun to sing
He's nat, he's a feller,
And he lugs an old umbrella

Lessons in Words.

An explanation of the derivation of
words will give pupil an insight INTO
their history, and he will comprehend
their use and power.
Sierra means saw !" hence the
use Of the terms Sierra Nevada, Sierra
Morena, for the mountains look like
great saws turned up to the heavens.
" Frank" comes from a nation that
possessed Gaul. They were distin-
guished from the Gauls by their love OF
freedom, their scorn Of lie. So
marked was this national trait that it
was applied TO denote moral distinc-
tions.
"Slave" was once a noble word,
meaning glory" 1t was significant

"Slave was synonymous with one

Turkey is applied to a fowl that
originated in this country, but it was

Packing a Trunk.

Most people dislike to pack trunk,
and TO do il well is something of an art.
1t should never be done in a hurry. You
should first get everything together
which is 10 be packed, and then go quiet
ly and systematically to work. Very
large trunks are an abomination over
which expressmen groan and swear, not
altogether without reason. Still, small
ones are inconvenient, except for short
journeys, and multiply expense, as the
expressage is for each piece, be it Sara
toga trunk or small valise, without re-
gard to size. But, whatever the size Of
the trunk, it should be filed, or at least
packed full enough 10 prevent the con
tents from tossing about. II you are
compelled to take a trunk which is too
large for what you need to pack in it,
fill it with crumpled paper, rather than
leave it half empty. Owing to the rough
usage which baggage always receives,
unless the trunk is closely packed the
contents will be literally churned up and
down, and the clothes which you have
carefully folded will be tumbled TO de-
gree, even if nothing worse comes 10
them. For long journey it is well to
cord trunks. Rope is better than strap.
because ii goes both ways. Nothing
heavy, like boots, ETC., should ever be
put in the top Of trunk, since the more
heavily it is weighted the more likely
the hinges are TO break. Dresses should
be carefully folded, with the founces
laid smooth and drawing-strings let out,
the waist folded but once, the wrong
side out, with the sleeves laid over the
back and the fronts over all. Then, il
absolutely necessary, the basque may
be folded again dowa the middle seam
oil the back, but never across.

TIE DEMON ARcMITEcT.


III As n LNAAFs
somswhsre have read a strange story,
Sent down from the ages Of old;
II may be some monk In his ololster
This wonderful story hath told.
So long 1t hath been since read 1t,
II looms indistinot to my mind;
II seems like a far-distAnt echo
Borne on by the whispering wind.
How once in Cologne the Archbishop
mighty cathedral would raise,
That, reaching high into the heavens,
His greatness should silently praise.
The architect he had commissioned
Wrought many and many plan,
Dreamed long over that which should make him
Eternslly known unto man.
But long though he patiently labor
At last he was brought to despair;
No plan he conld draw appeared worthy
OF projects 80 vast and so rare.
One nignt, as he sat by the river,
HIS head sadly leaned on his hand,
demon approached from behind him
And rapidly drew In the sand
A vision Of marvellous beauty
Was sketched on that treacherous sand
wonder Of columns and arches,
And steepes and minarets grand.
But line after line the scene vanished,
As fast as 1t ever had grown,
And back 10 the depths Of his sorrow
The suffering artist was thrown.
On parchment the demon then drew II,
Which snatching, the architect ran,
And, battling back his pursuer
Triumphantly olung to the plan,
"Thy cunning shall profit thee nothing"
The demon thus terribly swore.
"And, though the design shall be finished,
Thy name shall be heard neyermore.n
Long years had they toiled at that building,
When the architect mounted one day
High up on tower, TO cheel
His name where forever twould stay.
But suddenly down fell the scaffold,
Before the good work was begun;
The days Of his life had been numbered
The course Of his life had been run.
And, now that the labor is finished,
Nowhere in the world is ii known
The name Of the artist who fashioned
The beautiful church at Cologne.

THE WISHES OF ARIZONA.

The Morning Journal makes very timely suggestion. and that is that the people of this Territory take such action as will bring their views and wishes on the question of Governor before the Na- tionsl Government.
 Certainly the citizens of Arizona have some concern in the matter, and are not mere idle spectators, and they have inter- ests to be guarded and wishes which are entitled to consideration. The CITIZEN has mentioned many reasons why ii would be for the interestof the Territory to have its Governor selected from among its residents.
 We have not done this simply to gratify the wish and ambition of some localpoli- tician, but upon principle. Arizona has interests of unusual magnitude and importance: besides # has a population found nowhere else, and its relations both foreign and domestic, produce questions which would be entirely new to any man likely to be chosen from the ranks of Eastern politicians. With these peculiar questions a resident IS necessa- rily familiar, and he would be at once able to cope with them.
 It seems to us emincntiy proper that the people of tte Territory should at least consider the matter of enough im- portanee to urge upon the President our inte&sts. While the CITIZEN has e1-
 -ssed a preference for a prominent
 entleman of this Territory for that po- sition. it does not do so for the purpose of forestalling the people, but because | believes that in this course 1t Is giving expression to tine popular will.
 It is toybe hoped that the people will take some action in relation to selecting the GoyErnor from the Territory.

EVER since Congress remonetized the 412l grain silver dollar, the effort has been made to create the impression that it would never be popular medium of circulation; that it would lumber up the vaults of the treasury and by its cheap ness would drive gold from circulation. At every session of Congress since that time, it has been attempted to stop the further coinage of silver dollars. The opponents of the bimetalic currency will read the following from a Washington dispatch with considerable astonish- ment:
 Owing to the exceedingly small sum of silver dollars available for the ordi- nary business of the treasury depart ment, It has become necessary to sus- pend the exchange of silver certificates for gold coin or bullion.
