GOLDEN WORDS.

Economy is no disgrace ; it is better
living on a little than OUTLYING great
deal.
A moments work on clay tells more
than an hours labor on brick. So work
should be done on children's hearts be
fore they burden.
Tie best men are not those who have
waited for chances, but those who have
taken them-besieged the chance, con-
quered the chance, and made the chsnce
their servitor.
No real greatness can long co-exist
with deceit. All the faculties Of man
must be exerted in order to produce
noble energies and he who is not earn
estly sincere lives but half his being,
self-mutilated, self-paralyzed.
The man who by the force ofhis abil.
ity and character acquires material pos
sc ssions has wealth in two-fold sense.
If he also employs that which he gains
for purposes of good and not evil for
himself and for others, he realizes the
true union between wealth and we'll
being.
There is something more in education
than porting over printed words. A
German professor recently gave the his.
tory of his life in a sentence. "Wheu
was four years Of .'ee," said he, 81 put
nv head in book, and I have kept il
there ever since" That is good way
to make a book-worm. To make man,
you must educate the hand as we'll as
the head.

THE MURDERER's FRIEND.

Many touching stories are told of
prisoners pets-birds and mice, and
even the spiders of the cell, the jailers
children, or even the faithful dog But
the story of Edward Earle's interest in
the little daughter Of the Jail house.
keeper, as told by himself, is as eloquent
and PICTURESQUE and pathetic as any. 1t
was written two days before his execu-
ton in Hamilton county, New York -
Gas l sit at my window and look out
on the beautiful earth, things seemed
changed-different from what they were
month ago; the people seem more
kind the sky looks more beautiful and
blue; the sun shines brighter; every
mouthful of fresh air tastes sweeter,
and is breathed with thankfulness I
never felt before. Not is not that !
have changed those leaves month ago
were green. Now they are falling to tie
earth, and I know that before the last
one drops 1 too will fall and lie lower
than they.
"The little fve-years- old playing oppo-
site my window is changed-a month
agosshe would not speak to me; now
she is using all her little arts to attract
my attention, and will cry when we are
separated She lives in the house with
me, and every fair day she seats herself
on the grass beneath my window, and
we play "keep house," she "makes
believe" she is my little girl come to
visit me; I "make believe" she is, but
it's bad play for me.
"To.day she has been telling me that
Pinkey cher dolly is very sick-teeth
bother her-but it's Septober now !;
when it gets to be Octember Mary
Pinkey will be we'll again, then must
como down and swing, and that will be,
oh, so nice. Ipromise to be there she
laughs, thinking am "making believe"
We both laugh; there is music in her
laughter-a tear in mine; but, when it
is erected, L will he there-and swing"
The author OF this narrative murdered
his wife, who had deserted him, taking
with her his child, of whom he was very
fond. In rage and frenzy he killed
the mother, and but for that frenzy
might have secured his child and been
playing with her and loving her US he
did the little one that both cheered and
saddened his last hours.

Cuttina the Gordian Knot.

Tuesday was white-stone day for the
tenant farmers of Ireland. On that day the
land commission gave its first decision in II dis
puted case. The application was made by II
tenant named Patrick McAtavey, who held a
small farm of ten acres on the estate OF Henry
Bond, near Castle Clayney, II little town i'll
County Monaghan, some twelve miles from
the county seat. Mr.. McAtavcy is, in II Ger.
tain sense, nm Irish-American for he passed
four years in this country, After his return tc
Ireland he claimed the holding, which was then
in the possession of his uncle Though he sue
ceeded in his claim, lie did not appear to have
lived on the land, for most OF his time was spen,
in England as railroad employee. The land
lord also resides out OF Ireland. Thus, ioi
once in way, it was case of absenteeism OF
both sides. The commission found the holding
in very poor condition, and, on due consider
alton of all the circumstances, came to the con
clusion that the tenant had made good hi
claim for a material abatement. The new val
uation secures for the tenant m abatement o
no less than 2S per cent. upon the rent for
merly paid.
