A GREAT TEMPTATION.

Alice Arnden was not woman one
would select for a heroine because of
her personality. She was neither large
nor small; she was beautiful, think
(beauty is hard thing to define and
limit,) but it was beauty of no won
derful or unusual type, and was of that
kind which grows on one gradually, rs
his knowledge of the possessor of it
grows. There was a wealth of sweet
ness and psrity shining up in her eyes
which tears could never wash out; and
the mouth indicated firmness and reso-
ton, which had it's beginning long be-
fore the nights vigil which had left it
so sternly agonized.
The trouble which has come to Alice
Arnden is of no unusual kind. One
may say, "only lovers quarrel" but
one should remember that there are
heart tragedies in this world, under
the torture of which men and women
peace. To Alice Arnden it seemed as
though everything worth having in life
was now forever utterly beyond her
hope.
She arose from the seat she had oc-
cupied for so long and moved slowly
around her humble room. She had not
known until she moved how much she
was suffering physically; how cold it
was; how cramped and weary it was.
She made fire, and into the fire she
remorselesslY put all the fragments OF
the paper which she had spoiled in her
efforts to write simple letter, long

seconds; but sorrow weighs their noise
less feet with lead.
Mr.. George Fenby was next among
the actors, in this little fragment OF
human life.
He had sat at his window that morn
ing as Alice Arden sat at hers. His
window looked in the same direction.
From it he saw much the same scene
she saw. The stars faded out for him
as for her; day frightened; the sun
light fell across his face.
George Fenby thought of what he
had to be thankful for this lovely morn
ing. A small fortune, enough for him

and good rs fair-for his promised
wife; health, education, friends, in
tiuence, position; it was indeed good.

There was a happy smile on his face
as he heard his little brother knock at
the door, and he answered Come i'm

"Here is letter for you, George"

took it.

MANY boy, says a writer in the Philadel-
phia Teacher gets to himself bad name he
cause of the rapidly developing faculties
within him which are seeking employment.
Much OF what passes for juvenile depravity
may be easily accounted for. Mischief is
not meanness; it is misdirected energy. In
territorial wrong doing is generally the
farthest from the boys thought. The force
OF temptation and impulse overcomes his
own choice and power of resistance while
the imprudence, ill-temper. or reckless
haste of the teacher sometimes prompts him
to make an example OF such an unlocked
for infraction, lest advantage be taken OF it
to overthrow good order. This Is an enorm-
Gus blunder and can not be easily excused.
Tile evils of the human heart can not be
cmed by harshness; what your boy needs is
fair play. What most people OF older
growth need is more of kindness and forbear-
ance. If boy has lost his rank among the
pure and good. win him back again. lie can
not be forced to change his desires. l;epres-
sion will most likely drive him beyond the
power of your influence, but he will take
pride in earning his way back to a forfeited
pace in good society.

for one Republican Justice of the Supreme
Court to dress himself in war paraphernalia
and go for the scalps of his Republican as
s0eiates; and 1T is all the more appropriate,
snd in the line of retribution, when the split
ard the quarrel are occasioned by the frauds
and duplicities OF the Republican party.
The fight between the Republican Supreme
Court and the Republican party is entirely
Republican fght-as totally such as the fight
which cost poor Garfield his life. Repub-
lican Supreme Court comes before
the country and tells the Republican
party liz thunder tones that to secure
the negro vote OF the country it enacted
a law which was stnpendous lie; that it
violated the Constitution and outraged JUS
tice; that it deliberately, for vile purpose,
incorporated into a statute mean and vul-
gar fraud Such is the significance OF
the decision of the Republican Supreme
Court as it arraigns the Republican
party at the bar of supreme JUS
tice, knocks it in the head aud leaves it
sprawling in its own Slime and filth; and Gs
il wriggles and squirms as the Republican,
Supreme Court applies the lash, Democrats
are simply required to look OH and comtem-
plate the fight as one after another the blows
fall thick and last. Never before was party
so completely overwhelmed. Organs attack
organs; bosses bite bosses; bummers bludg-
con bummers; yelpings and howlings are
heard all along the line. Grave Republican
Senators stand up before colored crowds and
tell them the decision is law, and with tears
big as billiard balls rolling down their
cheeks plead with the dear colored voters to
stand by the sinking party. The colored peo-
pie tell the Republican bosses, I'VE have had
enough of your lying professions and will
have nothing more TODD with you;" and thus
the fight goes forward, until at last Mr.. Justice
Harlan invites the people OF the continent
10 see him swallow himself, shoot the whirl-
pool. take the soalps of seven Republican
Supreme Justices of the Republican Supreme
Court, and hang them on his belt as trophies
of the Republican internecine fight By sill
means let the fight go on. Let Re publican
bosses, bummers and organs, Senators, hash
fiends and spois hunters sharpen their fengs
and claws. The fiercer the fight the better it
will be for the country. A party that seats
President by perjury and kills a President to
settle spoils quarrels is just the party to
swindle confiding negroes by the enactment
of laws which a Court, partizanized for the
vilest political purposes, declares uncoasti-
tutional. Manifestly such an aggregation of
denominations ought to 90, and by the fiat of
