A Glittering Heap of Gold.

Sometime ago an old man, named Jack
Harkey, living near Matthews Station, just
across the line in U Mon county, died, and the
little old house in which he lived alone for
many long years was locked up by his ex-
ecutor. Not long after the old mans death
the executor found 5000 in cash which 1t
was known the old man had, and cleaned
everything out of the house except an old
cupboard that stood in a corner OF the
room, As it was not in the way, and was
not a bad.looking piece of furniture, 1t was
nermittpd 10 remain undisturhed. The
house was rented TO family who moved
into it last week, and 10 whom the golden
secret of the old cupboard was unexpected
ly revealed. The wife did not like the looks
of the old cupboard and proposed to her
husband that they shou move 1t TO an.
other part of the room. This the husband
consented to, and the cupboard was accord.
ingly moved out of the corner where II had
remained for perhaps a quarter OF centu-
nv. As il was moved a small tin box, such
as is used by business men to keep
papers in, was found on the floor covered
with dust. The man gave IL kick and
was surprised TO find that IL was not easy TO
move, and on picking il mp was further
surprited at its weight. A few blows OF an
ak broke open the lid, and pile Of bright
gold pieces met the gaze of the astonished
husband and wife. They set TO work
counting out the coins, aud found that the
pile amounted TO the snug sum Of 81, 200.
As soon as they had counted the money
they replaced it ~ the box and hid IL, when
the man with an honest haste, vent straight
10 the executor Of Mr.. Hark ey ! estate and
related the Circumstances OF the finding, and
closed by inviting the executor TO accom-
pany him TO the house and take possession
OF the money. The executor followed him
home and obtained the gold.-ICharlotts

Chicago Pulpit and Press

The Chicago pulpits are making grave &C.
cusations against the Chicago papers. They
are charged with being too mnch given to
sensations, too reckless and regardless OF
morals and decency in pandering to the
public greed for news, and too Indifferent to
the reasonable claims of sound public
opinion; and the ministers propose thai the
publishers shall meet them in conference to
see if measures cannot be devised for elevat-
ing the tone and spirit of the daily press.
The Chicago press may be as bad and as
deserving of disciplinary treatment rs the
pulpits allege but there is one remarkable
fact which is entitled to be taken into this
consideration. At the recent municipal
election all the leading Chicago papers and
all the leading pulpits were actively arrayed
on the same side against Mayor Harrison
He was denounced as the representative
and candidate of the depraved and vicious
element oft the population, the favorite of the
low saloons, gaming dens, and still more
immoral establishments, and the
friend of the sluggers, sand
baggers and hoodlums. The day be-
fore the election twelve sermons were
against him, and ten times as
many editorials were leveled at his mead
and It looked as though the object of this
combined attack from pulpit and press
must 90 down before so overwhelming a
weight of public opinion. But imagine
our surprise when it turned out that the
assailed mayor was reelected by 1,OOO ma
vote being four to three in his
favor. What is the pulpit's explanation OF
this striking phenomenon?-this triumph ti
a bad man over an alliance between the
two great moral forces of a great city? DO
the bad men outnumber the good men Jour
to three in Chicago, and is that city wholly
given up to its worse element, in spite OF all
that the pulpit and the press combined can
DO to reclaimit Or was the crusade against
Mayor Harrison grossly overlone, with
total disregard of truth and decency.

brought back to the soicitous sender in
search of resting place for loves ambi-
ton. And if they have been our friends in

And this is the lesson of the flowers.
