One of the lumber dealers in
Michigan has for the past three years
been supplying q dealer in Albany.
For the first year everything went
well, butat length the Albany man
began 10 complain. He found a
shortage of "culls" in every car load
sent him and demanded discounts
therefor, and last Spring it was i'm
possible to please him. No matter
how carefully lumber and shingles
were "culled" and billed there, he
was sure to write back that they
were not up to the standard. A few
weeks ago car load of star shin
giles were sent him. The "star" beat
anything made in the country, and
they knew it at Albany as well as
Michigan, but as soon as the car ar
rived the shingles were hardly 1clear
butts and he could not unload the
car until assured of q discount of
twenty-five cents . thousand. The
Michigander had suffered long and
the end was nigh. He had inspect
ed every bunch ofshingles on that
car, and he made up his mind to 60
to Albany and inspect them over
again. The dealer had never seen
him. and the Wolverine walked into
his Office as q would-be purchaser of
some extra fine shingles.

The Wolverine quietly pulled out

on the desk. The dealer took it up,
read the name and sat down with q

Yesterday an old man entered

emptied two coins on the counter
and after regarding the silver for !

not have to offer it TO you. Years
ago, when my first child was a little
girl, punched hole in this coin
and strung it around her neck. II
was her constant plaything. At
night when she vent to bed we'd
take it of, but early at morning
she would call for her watch.
When our John-you didn't know

One day his watch got out of fix,
he said, and he filed those notches
in it.-He and his sister Mary
that was the girls name used to
play in the yard and compare their
watches to see if they were right.
sometimes John wouldn't like it be-
cause Mary's watch was larger than
his, but she would explain that she
was bigger than him, and ought to
have a bigger watch. The children
grew up, but as they had always
lived in the woods they were not
ashamed to wear their watches.
When q young man came to see
Mary once she forgetfully looked at
her fifty cents.-'What are you do

when she told him she was looking
at her watch, he took it as a hint
and went home. After this she did
not wear her watch in company
Well, Mary and the young man got
married. John went off to the ar

died, and about two years ago Mary
was taken sick. When her mother
and reached her house she was dy-

said: Papa, lean over l leaned
over, and, taking something from
under her pillow, she put around

The old man looked at the mer-

The Existing Ciyil.Service System.

When President Garfield was shot the
universal opinion was that the spoils
system furnished the motive which
prompted the assassin Guiteau. The
assassin has been tried and convicted,
and in short time will undoubtedly
forfeit his life as penalty for the crime.
But the spoils system, demoralizing,
pernicious and blighting, thrives as lux
uriantly as it did when Guiteau leveled
his pistol at the Nations Executive, and
the strife for spoils is as heated and I'M
seemly as it then was. Congress assem-
bled but a few weeks after the conspic-
uous victim of the system was consigned
to his tomb amid the lamentations of the
country. The tragedy, its cause and the
actors were known to each member.
Were there any possibility that the
recollection of the terrible event would
so soon fade from the minds of the
Senators and Representatives, they have
had constant reminders every day since
the session opened in the proceedings
which have taken place in courtroom
but o short distance from the Capitol
where they assemble. Still, from the
general apathy which is manifested, it
would seem that members of Congress
think the shooting of President of too
small moment to give them concern for
the reform of system which has raised
up an army of spoilsmen, Embossed
political freebooters without number
upon the country, made Senators and
Representatives chiefs of factions who
engage in predatory raids upon the
public Treasury, and, as finishing
stroke, has presented an assassin as one
of its natural products.
There are, undoubtedly, difficulties in
the way of effecting reform of the
Civil Service by legislation, but if Con-
gress should be governed by a rule not
to undertake any work to which there
are obstacles, it would abdicate some of
its most important functions and ac-
knowledge itself to be an almost super
fiuous branch of the Government. The
fact that there are difficulties ought to
be an incentive to the members of Con-
gross to address themselves the more
speedily and more earnestly to the
question. There is no doubt that Con-
gress could do great deal to place the
Civil Service upon footing at once
more permanent and more honorable;
and if it could not bind the President
by law in the matter of appointments, it
could establish rules so salutary that he
would not feel at liberty to disregard
them, or if he did would be condemned
by public opinion.

Excert DURING the pendencv of pol;t,-

Except during the tendency of politi-
cal campaigns, the office-holder under
the present spoils system may have his
whole time for the performance of his
duties to the Government. But during
political campaigns, which on the whole
occupy fully one-fourth of the time of
the politicians, and obtain considerable
share of popular attention for about the
same period, the office-holder must act
upon the knowledge that he is the serv-
ant of the party in power as well of the
public, and attest his allegiance to the
former in every way that may be re-
quired of him. And this is but the be-
ginning of his humiliation. Dependent
upon a "boss" for his place, he must
carry himself as personal hireling,
and bend all his energies to the further
ance of the schemes of his political
owner If his superiors in office have
axes to grind-if they fancy they merit
promotion-he must turn the crank for
them, or risk their displeasure and his
own removal. In short, office-holding,
under the spoils system, is dependent
largely upon intrigue and combination,
and plot and counter-plot play con-
spicuous part. The result is that the
Government is neither as well nor as
economically served as it ought to be.
Members of Congress are perfectly
cognizant of all the evils of the spoils
system. Some of them pretend to have
a great desire for change, but with
remarkably few honorable exceptions,
the conduct of Senators and Repre-
sentatives show that their professions
are hypocritical, and that at heart they
desire no reform or change in the Civil
Service system.-DetroI Free Press.

felt that you had missed the best happi-
ness of this life. And to do that of your
own free will is surely the greatest OF all
mistakes. Your library may be full of
beautifully-bound volumes; your carpets
unworn, your walls unmarked by little
fingers, no sudden noises may jar your
nerves; no eager little face look in when
you are in the very middle of COM
plicated sentence, and break the tenor
of your thoughts. And you never yet
saw the childish eyes close upon this
world; nor received the last kiss from
lips that were growing cold, when Some
body as of old) "called to Himself a
little child" You never knew that ter
rible trial. which no faith and no hope
could make anything other. But neither
did you ever see the bright looks lighted
up when you return from brief absence,
nor did little pattering feet run to meet
you. You never were earnestly ques-
toned as to what you had brought; hav-
ing earnestly considered London shop
windows in the search for something TO
bring. You may have been told, but
you do not know, as you might, that
these little creatures Coming from where
Wordsworth tells us), whether abiding
with you here or gone on before you. are
the instruments of the Best Hand to bring
out the very best that can be made of
His creatures here. All that good is
worth having, even at what it costs. A
great deal has to be paid for it, no doubt.
But unless in morbid and transient moods
you would not wish to have done with
out it.
Therefore, instead of moaning over
days past, with their opportunities
missed, and their idiotic sayings and
doings, we shall all set ourselves to do
the best we can in the days which yet
remain. And if there be blots ON the
page which can never be rubbed out
where we are. there is the supreme con-
ISOLATION that some day we may hope to
turn over quite new leaf, and to make
quite fresh start, far away.-Frasers
