Value of Money.

The impecuniOlls man thinks it absurd
for his wealthy neighbor to gravely assert
that there is little happiness in the posses
sion of money. And certainly rich men seem
to enjoy their wealth, are proud OF it in
various ways, according to character, and
use it freely as power, and will not surren-
der it without the very toughest fighting. A
complete surrender OF wealth. OF the differ
ence between subsistence and competence of
riches, is, except in very few eases of re-
ligious conviction, the rarest of all forms of
self-sacrtice To be different, indeed, is the
disconsolatc talk of the well to-do from their
actual condition that the world suspects
them of little hypocrisy, or of intention to
avert envy by simply declaring what is un-
questionably false. the equality of all earth
ly conditions. Dives is sad with wealth,
sighs the man with too little, but how |
wish I had touch of his complaint = A few
men, indeed, have boldly declared the re-
grets of wealth to be pretenses, and have
asserted that they enjoy gaining and keep
ing money. Very few men, indeed, part
with their wealth voluntarily because very
few have the courage to deprive thepselves
of any faculty or power they may hereafter
want; and very few are without that pride
in it which any distinction tends to rise; but
we believe the constant depracation of its
value in which the well-of indulge is not a
hypocrisy. They see or many of them see
failures i'm the effect of their wealth upon
themselves, and even bad consequences
springing from it, which quite justify theil
shakes of the head, though they are slow tC
explain, even to themselves, why the apples
taste so ashy.

4 California Decision.

In libel suit in San Francisco, growing
out OF the Chronicles accusation that the
Bulletin sold its editorial influence to the
Central Pacific Railroad for $4,000, the pre-
siding Judge ruled that such a charge was
not libelous. rs it morally or legally wrong
for person to advocate a project, matter, or
claim for pecuniary or valuable considera-
ton? 2" his Honor asked and he then pro-
ceeded to answer the question in the mega
tive:
Talent is as much the capital of the advo-
cate. the lawyer, and the editor as merchan-
disc is of the merchant; he has as much right
to sell his talents as the merchant his mer-
chandise The lawyer, the minister, the par
liamentary advocate, the lecturer. the author,
sells his talent, and he is not the less respect
ed for so doing. The greater his learning,
industry, eloquence, and the esteem in which
he is held, the greater his pecuniary compen-
sation. 1t seems to me that it is no more
libelous to accuse one of selling for gain the
support and advocacy OF his newspaper than
it would be to accuse the mechant Of selling
for gain his merchandise"

The story of Mr.. Vests early and roman
tic marriage reads so like one of Ouida's so
ciety tales that it half seems as though the
noble young diplomat and the beautiful
heroine must have appeared somewhere IN
her pages. Twenty years ago, when strip
ling attache in the service of the State. this
third son of the Earl of Delaware married a
Spanish actress, Countess in her own right,
but destined never to receive her due honors
from Mr.. Vests family. His mother, the
Countess of Delaware, was one of the still
and unrelenting old dOwagers that the En-
glish novels abound with, and with the Sc
we're notions of worthy British matren,
would never hear of her sons mesalllance,
nor call an actress her daughter-in-law. Not
withstanding this stern and unrelenting pa
rent. Mr.. West and his wife continued to be
happy. and his ardent and romantic devotion
lasted through all the years of her life
She died in Paris about ten years ago, at
the time of the -Prussian war. leav-
ing him three children, to which he has al
ways been the most indulgent father. The
fair lady was famed for her beauty through
all the courts of Europe, and her portrait,
painted at the Kings request, iii the ResidenZ
Palace at Munich rivals any of the lovely
faces in Sticlee's gallery of beautiful women.
The pure Spanish type of her beauty, and
the poetic and gifted face of the gifted Coun-
tess. were something rarer than the later and
more celebrated charms of Mrs. CORVALLIS
West This marriage, regular and legal by
all the forms of church and state, was never
entered in the peerage, through this uppleas-
ant family difficulty.

4 Word for the Girls.

\ great deal has been said and written
concerning the rights of farmers boys, but
nothing about the girls. 1t is q common
thing for farmers to pay their SONS fair wa
ges for their work; yet the daughters do not
receive a dollar from month to month. Why
should this difference exist between the farm
er's girl and his boy? The former is quite
as much entitled to a reward for services as
the latter In truth, the farmers girl is fire.

is expected i'll many cases to arise very early,
get breakfast, clean up the house and pre-
pare the other meals required through the
day, or if not, to at least largely aid i'll all
these household duties. In addition she is
looked upon by father, mother and brother
to entertain company act the hostess at
least as q creditable second to the mother,
and while she may be the pride of the fam
lily, and regarded as sort Of a privileged char
acter, yet much is expected from her in ten
thousand smaller features of home life. Why,
then should she not be encouraged with at
least as much pay as the boy? In addition
to that, the farm house should be made as
attractive as possible-with piano, plenty
of books newspapers and pictures; cultivate
taste in the girls for flowers, etc. These
features, with moderate amount of work,
should produce happy and contented home

The Dear Old Mother.

Honor the old mother. Time has scattered
the snowy flakes OH her brow, plowed deep
burrows on her cheeks, but is she not beauti-
tul now? !? The lips are thin and shrunken,
but these are the lips that have kissed many
hot tear from the childish cheeks, and they
are the sweetest lips in the world. The eye
is dim, yet it glows with the soft radiance OF
holy love which can never fade. All, yes,
she is dear old mother. The sands of life are
nearly run out, but feeble as she is, she will
90 further, and reach down lower for you
than any one else upon earth. You cannot
walk into a midnight where she cannot see
YOU: you cannot enter prison whose bars
will keep her OUT you cannot mount scat
fold too high for her to reach, that she may
kiss and bless you in evidence of her death
less love. When the world shall despise and
forsake you, when it leaves you by the way
side to die, unnoticed, the dear old mother
will gather you in her feeble arms and carry
you home, and tell you of all your virtues,
until you almost forget that your soul is dis
figuered by vices. Love her tenderly and
cheer her declining years with tender devO-

Helena, Montana, Thursday, February Z, 1882.


These phenomena have, in all ages, excited
curiosity, and in many instances they have
produced wonder at their extraordinary
height and fury. 1t is related of the sol
diers of Alexander the Great, who were ma
tives of the Mediterranean shores, that when
they reached the confines of the Indian
Ocean and saw its waters rolling up to a
great height, and then lowering back, twice
every day, they became alarmed. and attrl-
buted the phenomenon to Il special lnterposl-
tion of the deities of the country which they
had invaded. Various remarkable theories
have been advanced regarding the tides.
Many of these are so truly absurd that 1T Is
hardly worth while to refer to them. Per
sons find it difficult to understand why the
tides are higher at one time than another,
and why they rise to the height Of sixty feet
in the Bay of Fundy, forty feet in the ports
of Bristol, England and st. MalO, France.
and only rise to few feet in height at New
York and other places, while they are scarce
ly perceptible in the Baltic and other seas
Descartcs was the first philosopher who ad-
vanced the theory that the tides were due to
the influence OF the moon, but Newton was
the first who worked out the problem and
discovered the true cause. DescarteS be-
Geved that the moon acted on the waters of
the ocean by pressure. Newton demonstrate
ed that it acted on the ocean by attraction
that instead Of pressing the waters it rolled
them up directly under it, and also at its an
tipodeS at the same time, thus producing the
two tides every day. The tides are attrac-
tiops of both the sun and moon. If the
earth had no moon the attraction Of the sun
would produce two tides every day, but
their ebb and flow would take place at the
same hours, not varying as they do. These
tides would also be much smaller than those
of the moon. Although the mass of the
sun is far greater than that of the moon, and
though attraction is in proportion to the
mass, yet it is also inversely as the square of
the distance. As the sun, therefore, is four
hundred times more distant than the moon,
the attraction of the waters OF the sea to-
wards the sun is found to be about three
times less than those of the moon. There
are really two ocean tides, the lunar and So
lar, but the latter is absorbed by the former,
which is wholly observable in respect to the
time, the solar only, rs it influences the
height of the tidal wave. That caused by
the moon is three times greater than that of
the sun, and it follows the moons motions
around the earth, rising and falling twelve
hours, and each succeeding tide later by
three-quarters Of an hour than the preceding
one exactly in accordance with the positions
of the moon, or, as it is commonly called its
rising and setting.

Correct Speech.

Correct speech is such an indisputable
mark of a lady or gentleman that it cannot
be too often repeated that the true standard
of pronunciation is one in which all marks
of any particular place of birth and residence
are lost, and in which nothing appears to in
dicate any habits of intercourse other than
with the well-bred and well-informedwher-
ever they may be found. 1t the matter of
accent, vocabulary, and pronunciation, the
aim ought to be to avoid all that is local,
affected or vulgar. Let no transgressors i'm

speech will betray them, and even well edu-
