An Old Conductor Passes An.
other and Gets His Discharge

Mr.. John Hilbert, late conductor
on the Memphis division ofthc Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad, has been
in the employ Of the company for
about sixteen years. He hasenjoyed the
confidence Of the railroad authorities,
and the hearty good will Of the peo1
pie living along the line, and the
travelling public generally, His kind.
ness Of heart, however, proved to be a
misfortune at last BE yielde to a
sympathetic impulse, and it cost him
his position. His case should teach
all conductors to carry out orders, and
the public not to be too exacting upon
employees charged with responsibility
for lite and property.
A few days ago Mr.. Hilbert per-
mitted an old ex conductor who had
no money to get aboard at Milan and
ride to Memphis. The old conductor
produced dispatch which stated that
his vile was very sick in Memphis, and
that he must come homo at once,
This so touched Hilbert's heart that
iu collecting tickets and fares he over
looked the ex-conductor entirely,
This charity OF heart was = mistake
and was unworthily bestowed, for the
dead head passenger no sooner got to
town and filed up with few drinks
! than he made boast of the manner
in which he worked his way through
This soon came to the ears of the
railroad officials, and Mr.. Hilbert, as
a matter Of course, under the rules
was discharged. He took off his uni
form and walked out Of his position
last Sunday. He made a mistake, aud
his many friends greatly regret the
occurrence. He has been = faithful
servant of the company, and stood al
his post during two cpidemiCs, wher
nearly all others had fallen or gon,
away. All who know him would b,
glad to see him back on the road
The rule under which he was dis
charged is a proper one. Yet it's Eus-
pension in this case would probably
not be prejudicial to the discipline anC
interests Of the railroad. is hoped
that this view will yet be considered
/ and nrevail.

The sunny side Of Toll.

A. X. McClure.I
Take the sunny side Of toll. It is
made the, inheritance Of all, by a law
that is universal and memorable, and
that fearfully avenges its violation. 1t
is the command of God, and like all
His mandates is wise aud merciful.
Do not grieve because others seem
more favored than yourself, for such
appearances are often terribly decep-
tive. With all the varied cares and
duties and strange inequalities Of life,
we are largely, if not wholly, nodded
by our efforts, and sunshine or shadows
will predominant as we may decide
for ourselves. How often the child of
toll envies the lot Of his fellow, born
to fortune and luxury; but it is
cruel mistake. The seyerest
toll of life is to labor at moth
ing and for nothing. 1t ia
the one type of Toll that has no com
pensation, aud it is the most tiresome
and exhausting of employments. OF
all ordinary lives that of the idIer is
the saddest. 1t is ordered that labor
and content shall 20 hand in hand,
and in all the experience of recorded
civilizations, there has been no de-
parture from toll without decay and
sorrow. There may be great grief
mingled with exacting or unrequitted
labor, but peace and content are utter
strangers to the indOlent. 1t is not
only the law of individuals, but it is
also the law Of nations. Even the
galley-slave enjoys the luxury Of rest,
and his course diet is made grateful
by the hunger that labor quickens;
while the banquet Of luxury pals upon
the taste, aud sleep and rest flee from
the miserable idler. 1t wasa king, in the
midst Of all the plenty of wealth and
power, who cried. 20 sleep! 0 gentle
sleepl Nature soft muse, how have [
frightened thee2" Our great railway
and bonanza kings of to-day would
value at millions the sweet rest en-
|j)yed by the laborer Of your mountains,
and what would they not give for the
relish of the hod carrier at his frugal
meal? And all the rich promises of
lie are to tho sons and daughters Of
toll. The shop and the field are the
cradles of men, while the hotbeds OF
idleness and luxury give only mock
cries of men and women to dawdle
through aimless and useless lives and to
leave behind more helpless children
than themselves. Turn to the men I
distinction in the field or forum, in
science, literature or art, and only the
toilets Of the world are there. For
tune or famine may now and then
grasp tho honors which belong to the
more deserving, but they turn to
ashes when thus gained, and end in
humiliation if not disgrace. Whatever
be your lot, know that it has a sunny
side, unless you are shrouded in the
gloom of idleness. For every other
cloud there is a silver lining, and toil
is one fountain from which wells up
the countless streams Of happ mess.

Nh6ni he recognizes his ideal. UEs
fortunately very bright girls are nos
apt to attract men OF or near their own
age, Their brightness too often finds
an outlet in sarcasm. sharpness ofre-
partee. and perhaps touch Of pedan-
Try. They recover from all this when
they have seen more of the world and
human nature, but it does injure while
it lasts, not only hiding the latent I'M
de yeloped powers beneath, but what
is worse, making the young men afraid
Of them. A moderately pretty but
thoroughly amiable girl, one who never
gets into temper or says disagreeable
things; girl IN whose company one
need make no effort and still not ap-
pear TOOL. is apt to make far more
havoc in young mans heart than her
clever sister. He marries her, is hap
by for awhile in her unvarying sweet
ness Of disposition-unless that, too,
proves delusion and a snare-and
later on finds out his mistake. Then
he meets the woman who, ifhe had
waited, would have been not only q
companion but help to him in
thousand ways in which clever wo-
man can help an ambitious, rising man,
and he curses his luck. Therefore, it
is not so bad thing as mothors, es-
pecially usually think, for young
man to fall in love with married
woman He cannot marry her, no
matter how much he would like to,
and like of possession keeping love
alive for a considerable length Of time
he does not recover from the attack
until his character and experience are
more matured. Then, when he is
ready to fall in love again he is more
apt to know what he wants.

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1881-09-13

The recent wholesale defeat Of the
Democracy of San Francisco carried a
lesson with it which anybody but Dem
ocrats would heed. The Bourbons have
never been able to maintain their hold
on an advantage once gained. The sue
cess gained last fall led them to believe
that the combination Of Bourbonism and
Sandlotism was invincible. Certain of
success, they nominated ticket on
which there was scarcely Q name which
carried the slightest weight, respecta-
bility or deccncy. 1t was composed
mainly of roughs, thieves and pledge
breakers. That there was enough of a
responsibility left in the party to re-
pudiate such an unwholesome mess goes
far to show that the party is not wholly
incapable of being regenerated. The
ticket as it stood shows that the DEM
ocratic party care nothing for the quality
of their nominations SO long as they
feel certain of success. In year from
now the Democrats of Nevada will fall
into the same error and die in the same
