IL YOU have a friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him, ere life's evening
Tinge his GROW with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne'er be said
Of a friend till he is dead
II you hear a song that thrills you
Sung by any child Of song,
prsi.e IL. Do not LET the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the joy you may impart
If you hear a prayer that moves you
BY lie humble pleading tone,
Join il. Do not Let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of two or three" in prayer ;
If you see the hot tears falling
From brothers eyes,
Share them. And by sharing
Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should any one BIO glad
When a br0lhers heart is sad
II a silvety laugh is ripping
Through the sunshine on his face,

For both giief and JOY place.
There's health and goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
IL your work is made more easy
By friendly, he ping hand,
Say so. Speak out brave and truly
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should brother workman dear
FRlter for a word of cheer
Scatter thus your reeds Of kindness
All enriching as you GO
Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver
He will make each seed TO grow
So, until lis happy end,
Your life shall ever lack fnend.

Peter CO0per's illustration of Interest

New Y ork Evening Post.
Mr.. Cooper was always careful aud
prudent business man. He was always
opposed to tie methods of many mer-
chants who launched out in txtrsva-
CANT enterprises on borrowed money,
for which they paid exorbitant rates of
interest. Once, while talking about q
project with an acquaintance, the lat
ter said he would have to borrow the
money FOR six months, paying interest
at three per cent per month. Why
do you borrow for so short time "
Mr.. Cooper asked. Because the bro
kers will not negotiate bills for longer"
" Well it you WISH" said Mr. Cooper,
81 will discount your note at that rate
for three years. care you in earnest?"
asked the would-be borrower. Ger
tainly am. | will discount your note
for $40 600 for three years at that
rate" "Win you do it2 "Of course
| will" said the merchant. "Very
well, said Mr.. Cooper; "just sign this
note for $40. 1000, payable in three years
and give me your check for $500, and
the transaction is complete" But
where is the money for me !? " asked
the astonished merchant you don't
get any money" was the reply. Your
interest for thirty-six months, at three
per centum per month, amounts to los
per centum, or SO, 500; therefore your
check for $500 makes us even" The
force of this practical illustration of the
folly OF paying such an exorbitant price
for the use of money was such that the
merchant determined never to borrow
st such ruinOus rates, and he frequent
ly used to say that nothing could have
so fully convinced him as this rather
humorous proposal by Mr.. Cooper

The Human Face,

In nothing do men and brutes differ
more than - their faces. The difference
is independent of culture, and based on
difference of original design and plan.
Mans face alone was meant to answer
to every kind and shade of emotion, to
be an index Of the heart.
Take simply the power TO smile-the
first smile of the babe, the maiden's
smile of love, the mothers smile of ap-
prevail or fondness, the cherry smile
Of friendship, the breezy good morning
smile, and the last smile that often lights
up the dying face of the good man, as
if he already caught CLEANS of the life
10 come--this lifts man away from the
brute almost as far as does the power of
speech.
To accomplish this, the face ia furn-
ished with more distinct muscles and a
larger supply of nerves than any other
part of the body.
One result is, that play OF expression
which gives the living face an interest
and beauty SO far beyond all that the
sculptor can attain. Another is that the
face of the speaker often anticipates
his words, and always helps to interpret
and enforce them.
A third result is that the face often
betrays a secret which the person seeks
TO conceal, or attests the falsehood of
his uttered words. A fourth is--sincc
every muscle is strengthened and de-
veloped by use and weakened by disuse
that ones real character comes, in
time, to stand out on his features.
The avaricious, the voluptuous, the
lustful, the naughty, the vain, the shall
low and silly, the hard, the stingy, the
fretful, the bad-tempered, can be read,
often, by single glance, and that, too,
beneath artificial expressions put on as
a cloak.
So, too, the genial, the kind-hearted,
the downright honest, the thoroughly
pure, the truly brave, the refined, the
self controlled, are "known and read of
all men," The latter are not only as sun
shine in our dark world, but they are
among our best help to goodness.
Another imp )rtant fact in the case is,
that not only do the inward feelings act
upon the facial muscles, but, through
that reflex nervous action, which is a
universal fact in physiology, the action,
of the facial muscles reacts upon the
inward feelings. This increases the in
ward feelings by giving them expression.
Bot by checking the outward express
ion we also check the feelings them
selves.
Farther, any one who will resolutely
change the facial expression from gloom
and moreseness to cheeriness and hope,
will almost inevitably find correspond
ing inward change Youths Compsn-
ion.

The Consolidation of Revenue District
PRESSURE TOO GREAT AND THE PRESIDENT
YIELDS.

WASHINGTON, jane 29.-The presi-
dent to-day made several notifications
in the recent executive order relating
to the consolidation of internal revenue
districts. In the original order the dis
tricts of Montana, Idaho and Utah were
consolidated, aud J. HOLSTER, collector
of the present Utah district, designated
as collector. This was changed by the
designation of Thos. P. Fuller, collec.
tor Of the present Montana district, as
the collector of the new dis
trict, vice j. Hollister, dropped.
change was made because OF the
greater collections in Montana district.
The most important change, however,
was in Kentucky, resulting in the re-
tention of one more district IN that
state than was allowed in the original
order. Under the new order, things
at present in 9th district will be re-
tanned with Jno. w. Finnell, collector,
with headquarters probably at
Covington. All the counties
in the present 9th district
not added to the Sth district, and sll of
the present 9TH district not added to
the Sth district by the original order
recognizing the district will constitute
a new district, to be known as the 9TH
district. A. NJ. Swape, collector of the
present 7th district, has been designat-
ed collector of the new 7th district.
He will probably locste his office in
Lexington.

Total

1t Is now apparent that considera-
bic number OF Democrats in the house
ale determined to defeat, if they can,
the Davis bill, for the relief of the Fed
eral courts. Their motives are parti-
sap. The bill, If passed, will give to
President Arthur the appointment of
eighteen Federal judges. The Demo-
Gratis who have resolved to oppose it do
not like to see these appointments 90
to Republican president: They pre-
fer to reserve the disposition of the pa
tronage for their own president, whom
they expect to elect in 1884.
1t is equally clear that
there are enough Republicans
and honest Democrats in the
house to pass the bill by handsome
majority. 1t is the duty of these to
see that this is done. The country has
long suffered from the neglect by CON
gress of the Federal courts. The calen-
dars of these tribunals are so burdened
and their judges so overworked that
the long delays thereby caused are u
practical denial of justice to persons
having business in the courts. The
Davis bill is "A carefully prepared meas
re which has received the general APP
proval of the bar and the public 1t
has already passed the senate. It's
isilureto become law will be a serious
drawback to litigants in the Federal
courts. 1t should pass the house at
this session without fail, and the
Democrats can only blunder by trying
TO defeat it.-N. y. Herald.
