Senator Malone checrfuIly explains to
discharged clerk (appointed from Virgins
to desk in the Interior Department al
Washington that he Senator Malone
caused his discharge, and that he did so
for political reasons. This Malone is a
frank man, who makes business OF poll
ties. and has probably put on record for
the first time the real reason for political
appointments and removals. The clerk
was, it seems, making use of his rights as
citizen of Virginia; and this, it will be
remembered is a liberty which has been
stOutly claimed for such clerks. How
often we have heard that ofiice-holders
are not disiranchised slaves!" So long as
they are doing the right kind OF political
work they are, it seems, "vindicating their
right TO the freedom and franchises Of
American citizenship" But this particu-
lar clerk was not in the kind OF politics
that pleases Senator Malone, and is there
fore guilty OF improper conduct, because
he engaged in the wrong kind OF political
work. tisvery improper TO displease your
boss, either by not working and paying or
by working in the wrong field and paying
into the wrong box. 1t is rather curious
that Mr.. MahOne's free citi-
zen OF the United States seems to be about
in the position Of the person whom Mr..
Malone used to describe as his "nigger.n-

Sweet Home.

When two young people love each
other and marry, they restore the picture
Of the apostolic church. They are Of
one heart and soul. Neither do they say
that anything they possess is their own,
but they have all things In common.
Their mutual trust in each other draws
all that is best in both. Love is the
angel who rolls the stone from the grave
in which we bury our Letter nature, and
it comes forth. Love makes all things
new; makes all cares lighS all pain easy.
1t is the one entertainment in human life
which realizes Fortunio's purse and
Aladdin's Palace, and turns the "Arablan
Niohts" into mere prose by comparison.
Before real society can come, true homes
must come. AS in a sheltered nook in
the midst Of great sea OF ice which
rolls down the summit of Mount Blanc Is
found little green spot full of tender
flowers, SO in the shelter of home, in the
warm atmosphere of household love,
spring up the pure affections of parent
and child, father, mother, son, daughter;
of brothers and sisters. Whatever
makes the insecure and divorce fire.
quent, makes of marriage, not union
for life. but an experiment which may
be tried as often as we may choose, and
abandoned when we like. And this cuts
ND by the roots all the dear affections of
home; leaves children orphaned. destroys
fatherly and motherly love, and Is vir-
tual dissolution of society. L know the
great difficulties Of this question, and
how much is required to solve them.
But whatever weakens the permanence
of marriage tends to dissolve society; for
permanent homes are TO the social state
what the little cells are to the body.
They are the commencement of organic
life. the centre from which, of necessity,
all organization must proceed.

Brother Gardner on Raising Boys.

eff 1 had boy to bring up wouldn't
bring him up too softly. Ebery day Oh
my life / meet men who are brung up
softly. AS boys dey air kissed and pet
ted and stuffed wild sweet cake and cried
ober AS young men dey hab muffin to
do but to spend money, dress like mon
keys, loaf on &c street and look down on
honest labor. As men dey am failure.
People who doan' hate 'em and avoid
'em feel TO pity EN-, and OATS jest as
bad. When l sees man whom cherry
body dislikes, realize dat he was brung
up on de goody-good plan as q boy:
"If had boy I'd rub him agin the
world. I'd put responsibility on his
shoulders. Ii he got sugar he'd arm 1t.
If he got time fer loafin' it would be only
AFTER his work wus done. If he WIS ugly
or obstinate I'd tan it outen him instid
of buyin' him off If you want to make
a selfish man humor de within of a boy.
If you want to make coward, forbid
your boy to defend his rights. I'd teach
my boy dat all boys had rights, and dat
while he had no business to trample on
de rights oh odder boys, no boy had de
privilege OBJ talin' him 10y de nose. Las
night an ole man ibin' up my way WIS
turned out oh doors by his boy. He has
been tryin' de goody-good plan on dat
youth fer de las twenty Vars, and dis
am de legitimate result. He didn't want
him to work, kase work am hard. He
didn't want him to dress plain, fer fear
people would look down on him. De
boy am to-day loafer. neither grateful
fer what has bin done in de pas, nor
carin' what happens in de fucher. Ten
Vars ago he wus cried ober, run arter
and coaxed and bought off, and his mud
der libed to see him loafer and his fad
der has found him a migrate"

Courage.

Have courage to face difficulty, let
it kick you harder than you bargained
for. Difficulties, like thieves, often
disappear at glance. Have the courage
to leave a convivial party at the proper
hour for doing so, however great the sac
riice; and to stay away from one upon
the slightest grounds for objection, how
ever great the temptation to go. Have
the courage to do without that which
you do not need, however much you
may admire it. Have the courage to
speak your mind when it is necessary
that you should do so, and hold your
tongue when it is best that you should
be silent. Have the courage to speak to
a poor friend in seedy coat, even in the
street and when rich one is nigh. The
effort is less than many people think it
to be, and the act is worthy of king.
Have the courage to admit that you have
been in the wrong, and you will remove
the fact in the mind of others, putting n
desirable impression in the place of an
unfavorable one. Have the courage to
adhere to the first resolution when you
cannot change it for a better, and to
abandon it even at the eleventh hour up
on conviction.

Hints for Mothers.
(Boston Transcript

When your daughter performs task
in an ill-fashioned manner, always say:
"There. might have done it myself in
the first place" and then take the work
out of her hand and do it yourself. This
will encourage the girl not to do the
thing the next time she Is set about 1T.
Never permit your son to have any
amusement mt home. This will induce
him to seek it in places where you will
not be annoyed by his noise.
There is no place like home. Impress
this truth upon your children by max
ing home rs disagreeable ana unlike any
other place as possible.
Never neglect the lock on the pantry.
Some boys have probably turned out
first. class house breakers all on account
of this judicious treatment in early child
hood.
Never permit your children to contra
dict. Let them know that that Is your
peculiar prerogative.
In Gliding your children's faults never
forget to mention how much better tho
Jones children behave. This will cause
your little ones everlastingly to love the
Jones children.
luke lTcQuSuJ OCCuSiOu W ltll .fOuT
children how much more favored their
lot is than yours was when you were q
girl. 1t is always pleasant to children
to be constantly reminded OF their obi
cations.
Don't let your son indulge in any out
door games. Keep him at his books. 1t
will make a great man OF him some day,
if he should happen to live.
Your girls should not be permitted to
romp. Let them grow into interesting
invalids, 10y all means.
Be gentle and courteous before com
pany; but if you have temper, let your
children have taste of it as often as
convenient. A mother should never
practice deception upon her brood.
Talk slightingly OF your husband to
your boys and girls. This will make
your children respect their father.
Tell your child he shall not do thing
and then let him tease You into giving
your consent. This will teach him what
to do on subsequent occasions.
Make promises to your children and
then neglect to keep them. This will
lead your children not to place too much
reliance upon your word, and shield
them from many disappointments.
When your boy gets comfortably seat
ed in the easy chair, take it from him.
This will induce him to appreciate a
good thing when he grows older, and
stick to ia seat in a crowded horse
car, for example.
Tell your children they are the worst
you ever saw, and they will no doubt
endeavor to merit your appreciation.

Pope Not a Good Halter.

Pope was not what johnson called q
good hater, for his hatred was often
unmanly; but, like Dryden, he always
succeeds best in satire when strong
personal feeling prompts his verse. An
intense glow of emotion animates his
finest poetry. 1t is seen in the noble
praise he bestows upon his friends, and
more strongly still III his tremendous as
sault upon the men of letters and the
Grub street hacks whom he chose to
treat as his enemies. In nine cases out of
ten the provocation came in the FIRST in
stance from the poet, but his Indignation,
however unreasonable, was not feigned.
He really felt what he said, or he could
not have said il so well. When, ON the
other hand, he utters virtuous platitudes
i'll prose, it is easy to see that they mean
nothing. The insincerity of his corre-
spondeuce contrasts strongly with the
eager and venomous sincerity with which
he attacks lis foes inverse. THE Athcn-
gu7i.

Dead Stars.

Like the sands of the sea, the stars of
heaven, says Sir John Lubbock, have
ever been used as effective symbols of
number, and the improvements in our
methods OF observation have added fresh
force to our original impressions. We
now know that our earth is but frac-
ton of one out of at least 70, 900, 600
worlds. But this is not all. In addition
to the lumiaary heavenly bodies we can
not doubt that there are countless 9TH
ers, invisible TO us from their greater
distance, smaller size, or feebler light;
indeed we know that there are many
dark bodies which now emit no light or
comparatively little. Thus in the case
of Procyon, the existence of an invisible
body is proved by the movement of the
visible star. Again l may refer to the
curious phenomena presented by Algol, a
bright star in the head of Medusa. This
star shines without change for two days
and thirteen hours; then, in three hours
and n half, dwindles from star of the
second to one of the fourth magnitude;
and then, in another three and half
hours, reassumes its original brilliancy.
These changes seem certainly to indicate
the presence of an Opaque body which
intercepts at regular intervals part OF
the light emitted by Algol.
Thus the floor of heaven is not only
"thick inlaid with the patines of bright
gold" but studded also with extinct
stars-once probably as brilliant as our
own sun. but now dead and cold, as
Helmholtz tells us that our sun itself
will be, some seventeen millions of years
hence
