Not few Of those calling themselves
students treat their textbooks as the
Family Bible is usually treated. OF
one Of these loit.erers about the gates Of
know edge the following story Of how
he was taught a lesson is told:
An old trade,man in a French town
sent bis nephew Alfred 10 study law at
Paris. He gave him an old code an
notated by leading member Of the
country bar, and said
II viii pay you visit in March, and
If | am pleased with your progress,
will give You such tip as will make
glad your heart and cause your face TO
shine"
In March the old gentleman called on
his nephew,
"Well, Alfred, hard at work, see
Made good progress with your code?
Pretty we'll through it by this time, |
eypect"
Yes, respected sir, my life has been
one continual grind. Your venerable
friends marginal notes found Of great
service while laboring at the code"
Good boy excellent young man!
You got my draft Of course. 1t is a
pleasure TO me to reflect that my bounty
was not ill-hestowcd."
Your draft uncle? No; | never re-
cciyed it.N
"Show me that code"
The old man opened the book and
showed his stupehed nephew draft for
two thousand francs, dated five months
before, which had all the time been re-
posing between the first two leaves Of
the code!

pity on Nolly's evident agony, he goes

There is something deplorably lame
about this exposition, when you take
into consideration the fact that the new
lovers have been, during the past two
months, dl,omis absent from the rest Of
the family, as rule.
But Violet is content

CHAPTER XXXIy.

AS they enter, mirth ceases. A re-
markable silence falls upon the group.
Everybody looks at anything but Violet
and her companion.
These last advance in leisurely man

the sneaking air of those who are in the
possession of embarrassing news that
must be told before much time goes by.
The thought of this perhaps deadens
their perception and makes them blind
To the fact that the others are unnatu-

ical tone. Yet, III spite of its stilted-
ness, 1t breaks the spell of consterna-
tlon and confusion that has bound the
others In Its CHAINS, ana restores Jnem

They all smile, and say, Eyes, in

Yes in breath. They all feel in
tensely obliged TO Violet for her very
ordinary little remark.
Then it Is enchanting to watch the
petit SoiaS, the delicate little attentions
that the women in carefully sup

is so unutterably sweet TO her TO be a

Mona, rising, pushes Violet gently
into her own chair, a little black-and
gold wicker thing, gaudily cushioned.
"Yes, sit there, y she says, new note

Why it has become suddenly neces-

Then Dorothy, going up TO the new

and pats her cheek, and tells her with
one of her loyeliest smiles that she has
such delicious color, dearest. Just

The Woman With Diamonds.

As for the diamonds well, every wa
tering place has its woman with dia-
monds. 1t does not follow that with
diamonds there cannot be culture. But
it is very true that every summer resort
has woman conspicuous for her da-
monds and conspicuous for her lack of
culture. 1t is absurd to say that they
are not recognized for their worth. They
may get the best rooms and the best OF
everything, for they pay any price, just
MS the women of refinement, culture and
simple toilets have their place. And the
two are as widely apart here Us in the
city circle.

Mollie had little ram as black as a rubber shoo,
and everywhere that Mollie went he emigrated,
too.
He went with her to church one day--the folks
hilarious grew to see him walk demurely into
Deacon Aliens pew.
The worthy deacon quickly let his angry pas
sions rise, and gave 1t unchristian kick between
the sad brown eyes
This landed rnmmy in the aisle; the deacon fol.

At IL Again.

Az IL AGAIN.
The civil-service rcfoim Ministries have
been singing their old songs again at
small gathering in New York. There
were John Jay, L. L. Godkin, Dorman b.
Eaton, and others, who have appeared
before the public for so many years.
George William Curtis was not present,
but il is believed that his heart, if we may
be allowed the expression, was there.
George was elected president may we
hope, unexpectedly? 1t would be dread
full to think that he conspired for it, and
then stayed away, so that he would not
have to pretend that he did not want it,
just as girls pretend they can't sing, you
know, because of cold, when all the
time they would cry their eyes out if
deprived of the opportunity.
In opening the meeting that celebrated
humbug, John Jay, facetiously remarked
that "the great question of the day was
civil-service reform, made so by the shot
of Guiteau." What this meant perhaps
the speaker himself would be unable to
say; but we imagine it rolls out from
reformers mouth on much the same idea
that the old lady used to use, without any
connection whatever, the word Mesapo-
tamia-because it sounded so well and
50 soothing-like. We knew revival
preacher who used TO ask all who wanted
10 so TO hell TO rise. OF course, all who
remained in their seats were claimed as
converts, In like manner, probably, Mr.
John Jay would like TO consider all who
arc opposed 70 Guiteau as advocates Of
his system of civil-service reform,
The report of the Executive Committee
was a stringing together of venerable old
p!atitudes until the closing portion.
Then the mild venom which these impo-
tent malignants distll with some labor
varied the monotony for twenty lines or
so. 1t is not worth repeating. 1t is sim
ply catalogue of the political events of
last spring, mentioned in that ofl'hand
manner adopted by professional scandal
mongers of either sex, when, careless-like,
and with unnatural composure, they dart
out their fangs and lie like truth, without
a particle of feeling, You wouldn't
think they knew the parties referred to
at all. It's all for principle. Then they
vanished.

ment would have eventually required
two Englishmen to every Irishman. The
mistake was in supposing that a whole
people could be driven from the soil of
their ancestors because Of laws on parch-
ment to which they had never assented,
or that they would remain and till the
soil without retaining from the crops
enough TO feed and clothe their children.
Irish landlordism fortified with English
law could neither starve the tcnantry nor
drive them into the sea. The Good Book
said TO the landowners of old: "Thou
shalt not muzzle the OK that trcadeth out
the corn" Let those who affect great
wisdom in statecraft, and to whom law
makers look for advice, find means to in
struct the wealthy that the patient null
titude who toll with their hands must
never be driven to desperation. Dema-
gogues cannot stir them to dangerous
mutiny. But those who ride them can
plunge the spurs in too deep for safety to
the riders. 1t is this truth that has just
dawned upon Mr.. Gladstone. Not the
Irish only, but the common people of the
whole British realm would have been in
rebellion SO soon as they became con-
WINGED that self-preservation in Ireland
was being treated as crime. The COM
munism which would confscate all and
divide it equally among all is the greatest
danger to which civilization could be sub
jected ercept the madness which should
prompt the confScdtion Of all and lis division
among the fen.

A Touching Appeal.

We find in the Florence (Ala.) Ners of
April 20 very earnest appeal to William
Robertson, colored barber, who resides
in that town and there plies his trade.
Robertson has been a juror in the United
States District Court at Huntsville, and
Baldridge and others have been on trial
for violating the United States election
laws. A correspondent of the NelcS from
Huntsville, signing himself Alabama"
complains that Robertson refuses to ac-
ouiesce in q verdict of "not guilty" and
significantly adds;
Isitn not time to get a new barber in Florence ?
Robertson Is not a bad man, but weak and infu-
ence over him here is very bad. IfRoberson holds
out there win be hung jury.
Not bad, but weak. 1t was his weak
ness that made him firmly refuse TO vote
not guilty Weakness should be made
of more yielding stuff, Not bad, That's

altogether such barber as is needed in

Ireland and England.

Mr.. Gladstone has acted wisely and
courageously in trying new policy in
Ireland. 1t does not suit the violent and
irascible element in John Bulls make
up, but it will rapidly gain upon his COM
nonsense element. The coercion act
never had any sense in it, unless it was
intended TO foment a civil war. 1t was
sure to create resistance to overcome
which would have required all of Eng
lands physical power, and would have
shaken England's throne. 1t was fight
ing wasps nest by sitting down on it.
II is all very well for Mr., Gladstone's ene-
mics to insist that he shall continue to
sit on the nest to preserve his self
respect, but he very emphatically tells
them that there are other considerations
governing the case.
For man to overcome himself is q
grand achievement. For nation to
correct blunder, and release the agen-
cies which tend to the making of peace
is spectacle for all mankind to admire.
The appointment of Lord Cavendish TO
be Chief Secretary of Ireland is unsatis-
factory, but the Irish people will not
he found ungcnerous or fault-finding
where the tendency of the ministry is
toward Literally and genuine measures
for relief from arrears of rent, and for
making peasant proprietorship not only
possible, but easy. If Gladstone is sin
cere, which we do not doubt, thon the
Irish people are on trial before the world
for reasonableness and fair play. He has
thrust his arm down the throat of the
Tory lion, and opened the doors Of Xii.
mainham Jail to make counsellors OF
those who were therein confined. The
Irish must make it worth an English
statesman's while thus to deal with
them. They must forget and forgive
They have had their leaders stolen away
from them by English caresses. Let
them now make reprisal. The more sue.
cessful Mr. Gladstone's new policy can
be shown to be in restoring order and
obedience TO law, the greater will be the
advantage TO Ireland, for it will encour

call downright kindheartedness. This
juror is given chance to fall into line.
