Postage Stamp Thieves.

Detectives in New York have dis
covered that hundreds of clerks in
that city are in the habit of pilfering
postage stamps from their employers
and selling them them to men who
make regular business of the traffic
1t is not Il great while ago thata clerk
Of ii. B. Clailin & Co., was detected in
robbing that firm in similar manner
The firm lost by his thefts some $1,000
before they were fourd out, and it was
believed by members Of the firm that
the losses exceeded $4,000. In other
offices there is less opportunity to steal
so large sum, but in these the diff
culties in the way of petty thieving
are more easily overcome. A few loose
stamps or stamped envelopes, a few
stamped checks which are made re-
deemable by the government may dis
appear easily from most offices with
out exciting suspicion. These are
sold at places we'll known to the thieves,
at discount from the nominal value.
There is no regular schedule of prices
and the discount varies from five per
cent. to twenty per cent. according to
the denomination of the stamps and
the quantity offered for sale, or on any
other terms that the necessity of the
thief may demand. 1t is a dicker
trade in which one man may secure a
good bargain in proportion to the fear
or inexperience of the thief.
The discovery Of the theft seldom
results in anything more than the dis
charge OF the thief. Few of them are
arrested, and against these the prose-
cution is rarely pressed to sentence !;
and in many cases those who have
been thus detected are not even dis
charged. They are sometimes sons,
or they bear some other family rela-
ton to the parties sometimes they
are even members Of the same church,
and the exposure Of the petty crime
would be their utter disgrace. These
and other reasons lead the employers
to overlook a crime in a trusted clerk
which has resulted perhaps in an in
significant loss.

THINGS THAT NEVER DIE

The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulse of wordle>S PRAYER,
The dream oflovc and trust,
The longings after something lost,
The spirils vearning cry,
The thriving after better hopes
These things shall never die.
The timid hands stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
The kindly word in griet7S dark hour,
That proves a friend indeed,
The plea for mercy, softly breathed,
When Justice threatens nigh,
The borrowings of a contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the better word
That woundedIs it fell

We feel but cannot tell;
The hard repuiSe that chiilS the teart
Whose hopes were bounding high.
The memory OF the cold hand clasp
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass. for every hand
Must find some work to DO ;
Lose not a chance TO wakeu love,
BE firm, and Just and true;
So shall u light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee,
These things can never die

abuses you. You are not aware that
he is everything to every man, and
that while you are conversing with
him, that he is slyly laughing to bim-
self at the ease with which he
fools you. The positive man makes
too many enemies. He must, if he is
a straightforward, consistent man, do
just as his conscience dictates; for him
to fiatter would be mean; for him to
side with the conversation of every
man would be cowardly; for him to
descend to any tricks to secure office
would be an outrage; for him to speak
anything but Gods truth would be u
disgrace, He would neither be found
IN questionable places and with ques-
tlonable people. He would neither
refrain from duty or 60 back on a
friend, if he knew that such acting
would cost him his election. In short,
the positive man is an honest man,
from the very nature of things it is
impossible for him to be dishonest
The very thing that makes him posi-
tive makes him an enemy Of dishones-
ty, and it is sad fact that very few Of
our positive men fill our public offices.

Positive Men.

The positive man is the man we
ought to elect to conduct our public
business, and yet as rule he is left
out in the cold. The man who is
smooth faced, oily tongued to all with
whom he meets, who is ever ready
to talk about everybody else while
with you, and agrees to anything
you say and make you feel
as though you were the perfection
of wisdom itself, he it is that gets the
office. You are not aware Of the fact
that he talks with every other person
in the same manner as he does with
you, and that he cheerfully comedies
with every man that maligns and

"And it serves you yet, my boy"
"Aye, and it will serve us while we
live. We have none of those old bur
dens of anger to bear now. They can
not find Judgement with us. The
flash and jar may come as in the other
days-for we are human, you know
bat the heart, which has firmly re-
solved not togive an abiding place to the
ill-feeling, will not be called upon to
entertain it. Sometimes we are fool

We see it, and throw it off; we do not

A Women's Whims.

The Empress Josephine had six
hundred thousand francs for her per-
sonal expenses, but this sum was not
sufficient and her debts increased to
an appalling extent. Notwithstanding
the position of her husband, she could
never submit to either order or eti-
quette in her private life. She rose
at nine o'clock. Her toilet consumed
much time, and she lavished unweari-
ed efforts on the preservation and en-
bellishment of her person. She
changed her linen three times day,
and never wore any stockings that
were not new. Huge baskets were
brought to her containing different
dresses, shawls and hats. From these
she selected her costumes for the day.
She possessed between three and four
hundred shawls, and always wore one
in the morning, which she draped
about her shoulders with unequalled
grace. She purchased all that were
brought to her, no matter at what
price. The evening toilet was as care
full as that of the morning; then she
appeared with flowers, pearls or pre-
cious stones in her hair. The smallest
assembly was always an occasion for
her to order a new costume, in spite of
the boards of dresses in the various
palaces. Bonaparte was irritated by
these expenditures; he would fly into
a passion, and his wife would weep
and promise to be more prudent, after
which she would go on in the same
way. 1t is almost incredible that this
passion for dress should never have ex-
hausted itself. After the diverse she
arrayed herself with the same care
even when she saw no one. She died,

Hygienic Value of Mirth.

But aside from all this, mirth has
an hygienic value that can be hardly
over rated while our social life remains
what the slavery of vices and dogmas
has made it. Joy has been called the
sun that calls forth the flowers Of
plant is also needed to expand its
leaves and ripen its fruits; and with
out the stimulous of exhilerating past
times perfect bodily health vigor.
And, as sure as succession of uni
form crops will exhaust the best soil
the daily repetition of a monotonous
occupation will wear out the best
man. Body and mind require an ac-
casional change Of employment, or
else liberal supply of fertilizing re-
creations, and this requirement is
factor whose omission often foils the
arithmetic of our political economists.
To the creatures Of the wilderness
affliction comes generally in the form
of impending danger-famine or per.
sistent prosecutions; and under such
circumstances the notifications of the
vital process seem to operate against
its long continuance; we'll wishing
nature energy flags, the sap of life
runs to seed. On the same principle
an existence of joyless drudgery seems
to drain the springs of health, even
at an age when they can draw upon
the largest inner resources; hope, too
often baffied, at last withdraws her
aid; the tongue may be attuned to
canting hymns of consolation, but the
heart cannot be discovered, and with
its sinking pulse the strength of life
ebbs away. Nine-tenths of our city
children are literally starving for lack
of recfeation; not the means Of high
life, but its objects, civilization has
defrauded them of; they feel a want
which bread can only aggravate, for
hunger only helps them to forget the
misery of ennui. Their pallor is the
sallow hue ola cellar plant; they would
be healthier if they were happier, I

A farmer asked boy what he would

A farmer asked boy what he would
work for him for, one year. The far
mer was close at bargain, and the
boy knew it. Says the boy: 81 will
work for you if you will give me one
grain of corn the first week, two grains
for the second, four for the third, and
doublingeach week until the fiftytwo
weeks or year is out" "Good," said
the farmer. The boy began work, and
took one grain for the first week, two
for the second, four for the third, eight
for the fourth, sixteen for the fifth.
thirty-two for the sixth. "Hold on"
said the farmer, "you are taking too
many" "Not at ALL" said the boy.
81 am but carrying out the contract"

grains the boy would take in fifty-two
weeks, and to his astonishment he
found out that he would be entitled to
