president Garfield" said Capt

Columbia, "is man who never knew

now in q way that they never knew
before. They have seen him in the

stand = especially those who have
been near him-that he has not IN
the least particular been agitated, and
this very bravery is the thing that
has preserved his life thus far. Many
o weaker man would have died long
ago. I thought I knew him before
this, but I did not. He is greater
than any one supposed The fact Of
the matter is, the people had come
to regard the President, to q certain
extent. as sort Of small parsonage
any way. Grant did something TO-
ward making this feeling and then Q
large portian Of the country never

study Latin and Greek? We have liv

| consider, the English, it is commercial
it ID the language, short and compre
hensive (though not perhaps as soft and
beautiful as the Italian or Spanish) ye1
it is the language OF commerce, ofdiscov-

What avail is it to the young student to
know Greek or Latin, to know the an
cleut Mythology, and yet have no prac
tcal knowledge to follow a profession
or trade? He will perhaps be droae
in the present hive Of human activity
and progress, without extraordinary en-
ergy he may almost starve. This re-
minds me OF a story read lately. A
young lady came hack to her father
she said she understood Latin and Greek
she could perform well on the Piano,
10 fact she was graduate in all modern
accomplishments. The shrewd father
replied: My daughter you will make an
excellent wife, if you can find husband

So it is with some of these learned
young men, they learn how to spend d
money, but do not even know how to
make a living. When the money Or in
inheritance is gone, they arc gone.
I hate to be hard on my own coun
trymen-the Germans, but as l am n,

such foolish questions that an ignoran;

Glad partner Of my homo and fare,
My shadow in tho street.
look into your great brown eyes,
Where love and royal homage shine,
And wonder where the difference lies
Between your soul and mine
For all Of good that / have found
Within myself or human kind,
Hath royalty formed and crowned
Your gentle heart and mind.
scan the whole broad earth around
For the ono heart which, leal and true
Bears friendship without end or bound,
And find the prize in you.
trust you as trust tho stars;
Nor crucl loss, nor seoif of pride,
Nor boggary, nor dungeon bars,
Can move you from my side!
As patient under injury
As any Christian saint Of old,
As gentle as lamb with me,
But with your brothers bold;
Moro playful than frolic boy,
More watchful than sentinel,
BY day and night your constant Joy
To guard and please me well.
clasp your head upon my breast
The while you whine and lick my hand
And thus our friendship is confessed,
And thus we understand
All, Blanco! did ] worship God
As truly as you worship me,
Or follow where my Master trod
With your humility;
Did sit fondly at His feet,
As you, dear Blanco, sit at mine,
And watch him with love as sweet,
My life would grow divine

A Well Established Fact.

Many o man has been ruined for
life by going surety for friend, and
being compelled to sell all his prop
erty to pay the bill. Every commu-
nifty has its examples Of this class,
and in nine cases out Of ten the
man who thus loses all, loses hope
also, and never rises again. The
New York Legislature recently passed
a law organizing fidelity insurance
companies, the business Of which will
be to act in the place Of bondsmen
and personal sureties for those who
must give bonds or want help in the
way OF surety. II the statute is
sound and is provisions wise, the
companies organized under the new
law should do a good business, and
will doubtless save tho property Of
many man too weak TO say no to
the appeals Of friend for the use

Easy to be Cynical.

It is such an easy thing to be Gym
ical, we wonder that any sensible
or ambitious man should choose q
manifestly easy road to cheap distinc-
ton. Any fool can be o cynic And
o great many fools are cynics. Not
that they make the best, which are
the worst cynics, but they do very
well, well enough TO make everybody
in their company feel decidly uncom-
l,rsable, which appears to be the
,reat aim Of the cynic's life. When
q man does good deed you simply
supply a base motive for It. Attrib-
ute his benevolence to selfshness, his
piety to hypocrisy, his sociability to
political motives, his public spirit to
q desire for notoriety, deny the very
existence of purely good, unsel6sh
motives to any man other than your
self, and you have started on the
road to develop into o good cynic.--
