The Value Of a Good Character.

Character is that assemblage of moral
Qualities that are inwrought into the
very warp and woof of ones nature and
life, while reputation is a garment thst
public opinion enrobes one in, whether
! he likes the style Of it or not. Character
is the product of our own agency. Rep
utation is the estimation in which We are
held by' those with whom we associate.
Now, one of the chief advantages of a
good character comes from the fact that a
mans reputation largely reflects it. Men
do not generally believe this. They
think they can hide, for instance, foul,
leprous heart under the garb of polite
and attractive manner; that they can be
crooked and perverse in their intentions
and yet pass for very good and proper
people; that they can form a reputation
for purity and virtue, when their imagi-
nation is "sour mud swamp" as Car
lyle would say, where all kinds of ugly,
loathsome desires and reptile thoughts
hatch, crawl, hiss and sting! that, in
short, they can pass for fine-looking
solid trees, when they are decayed and
hollow from the top to the bottom.
Never was there greater delusion.
No such masquerading of character ever
was successfully played, nor ever can be.
There never was a man that lived five
wears in q community that was not gen.
orally appraised at all he was worth.
A bad character, pass itself Oft for 8
good one | As weu might a foul stencil
try and pass itself off as q grateful per-
fume. A bad character will stain
through all rosewood amiabilities, ma
hoganized manners, and show the vulgar
weed.
No one ever did or could "steal the
livery of heaven to serve the devil in"
but what it was soon discovered that the
garment did not fit him or he did not
know how to wear it naturally.
Reputation, then, is the shadow of
character, and the shadow cannot long
impose upon any one unless it is the
reflection of real aud substantial worthi-
ness. And then, o good moral character
is one that will always redeem a bad
reputation. It will sometimes happen
that men will get bad reputation when
they do not deserve it. There are few
men who have driven their plans of bu-
siness and ambition over the rough
world and not got little splashed with
mud.
One glance at the stage horse and dri-
yer and you can tell the condition
of the roads. So men will bear the
marks of hard struggles they have had to
encounter ON their way to place and
power. To some extent this isunavoida'
bic.
There is your stern, positive man,
who possesses the pluck and grit, and
independence to hurl unpalatabie facts
and disagreeable truths through the
subterfuges and duplicities Of political
platforms, and bigotry of the church and
the tinseled shams of society.
Think you he will have an easy time
oft? Why, the whole kennel OF pru-
deries, cheats and frauds will begin to
bark and bite. Men will 90 deliberately
to work to crush him under some dead
fall Of destruction and lies. The reader
is very lucky, who in the world OF labor,
skill and invention has never met rival
that has tried to drive him over oy
main strength, and, failing this, has

Tho Doctors Bills,

WASHINGTON, August 1S.-The ex-
penses attending the care of the
President--the fees to the surgeons,
consulting and attending be
very large. There are other expenses
which are also large. There is just
now no money to pay them, except
out of the Presidents own funds.
Under the circumstances Congress
will make an appropriation, for no
one would insist that the President
should be required to foot the bills.
Whether there is any grounds for it
or not. it is generally supposed that
both Drs. Agnew and Hamilton will
charge $500 per day each for the
days they have spent and will spend
at the White House.
Doctors Bliss and Reyburn will
also have large bills. Both have
given up most of their outside prac-
tice. Doctors Barnes and Wood
ward, being under a salary in the
army, will not make out any bills,

Mrs. Doctor Edison. the principal
nurse to the President, has likewise
given up most of her practice,
though she treats few articular
patients who call at her offi"e early
in the morning. She has made no
visits except to treat a child of an
intimate friend, who lives on the
border of the city. She usually
drives there as she leaves or goes to
the White House.

in ridiculously absurd talk about

tempting to eliminate Mr.. Conkling

party. If Mr.. Conkling is "elim-
mated at all, which we do not say
is true, he eliminated himself by
resigning his seat in the Senate, q
step taken without the advice or

suppose from the talk of these news

to resign.
