Does Good Work Paw.

Properly considered this question ad-
nit oi but one. answer, and set there
are advocates Of cheap work and cx-
cuscrs OF sighted jobs among our man
ufactlirers; men who claim that close
competition and close bargaining are
circumstances which permit, if they do
not exact, passablc rather .han excel
lent work. A business run among the
shops and factories in the same line of
productions, in the same or adjacent
localities, where each shop has equal or
similar facilities, shows that no two of
them will furnish the same estimates OF
the same job. Indeed, in some instan-
ces the difference in the term is quite
surprising when it is considered that
the materials and the methods and ia
cillies Of working them are the same.
Under these circumstances the only pos
sible means OF lowering price is by
sighting work. ,ure TO bcdetected soon

fact, the price Of piece of work is not
absolutely high or low; it bears re-

About Letter Writing,

arms Of the absolutely certain. The deepest
knowledge and the firmest faith cannot come
without trials and gloom.
Who never ate his bread in sorrow,
Who never spend the darksomo hours
Weeping and watching for tomorrow,
He knows you not, yo unseen powers"
Man must find God alike in darkness and
in light. Life is an unfathomablo mystery.
Do not spend IL in trying to explain IL. Do
not cease acting because explanation is i'm
possible. To live with holy earnestness is to
reach trust at last; it is to give life its perfect
development. Tho uncertainties of finite
existence are but faint shadows of that eyer
lasting certainty which broods through all
eternity upon the world, bringing forth the
true, the beautiful, the good, for each and all.
Shadows as they are, they are yet evidences
of the substance which we seek Carlyle
said we are as soldiers fighting in foreign
land, who understand not the plan of the
campaign and have no need to understand II.

an untold value for us, in that they are re-
solved into the certainties of absolute being.
If wo accept them and trust them they will
bring spiritual growth and peace. All un-
solved things here point to q general solution
which can rest upon nothing less than tho

THE VALUE OF UNCERTAINTY.
ELOQUENT DISCOURSE BY REV. DIR. CLIFF
FORD AT ALL sOULs' CHURCH.

| ELOQUENT DISCOURSE BY REV. DR.. CLIFF
FORD AT ALL soULs' CHURCH,
Rev. DIR. John II. Cliff ord, Of Germantown,
Philapelphia, occupied the pulpit of All
Souls church yesterday delivering interest
ing dscouTseB at both mcuning and evening
service.
During the morning service he took for his
text Exodus, K, 26, 1--WE know not with what
VIC must serve the Lord until wo come
thither." The sermon was entitled, "The
value of unce rtainty," and was voiy attent-
| lively listened TO.
Showing in the introduction that faith is
the vital principle of religion, and tho heart
of faith is trust, the reverend speaker said
that trust is the countervoice to ignorance,
doubt, and fear. 1t has peopled tho earth
and founded states and. produced laws and
religion. Religion reaches from the known
| into the unknown amidst the loud calls from
| dogmatists of theology and of science for GER
tainties. 1t were well to say something for
the uncertainties of thought and life.
Man finds his complete life in the realness
| of mystery, living among things only he Is
finite; living in eternal realities, his life is in
finite. Man has always made himself misera-
BILE because he could not know the future; a
larger growth Of mind would lead to wider
grasp of faith. Man will learn to trust the
laws of the world. Complete faith calmly
accepts the universe, 1t trusts the unknown
even more than the known, for this
is but the part of the whole. Let
man learn that duty is the true
key to existence ii unlocks all secrets of the
soul. To live well to-day is the best prepara-
ton for tomorrow, If man could foreknow
the future, he would not dare to act, but ac-

bFOauWhy mouse NestOres 0loyUOUs
New YORK, May 13.-In the office of a
Newark law firm the proprietors of large
clothing house in Broadway, this city, re
ceived Saturday $1,000 which their assistant
cashier and bookkeeper had embezzled from
them. The young man had been In their
employ over six years, and had won their
confidence. Some time ago he contracted an
intimacy with dissolute woman in this city,
and gave her money and valuable presents.
That his wife might not become suspicious
from his lack of money, he used the firms
funds until he had taken nearly $4,000.
Finally he became alarmed and decided TO
break off with the woman who had ensnared
him. But she had learned from him that he
was defaulter, and she used this knowledge
in extorting more money from him. He put
her of with small sums from time to time,
and still she bounded him at the store. At
last he resolutely refused her, and then she
revealed to the firm that he had robbed them.
At first the clerk denied it, but soon he ad-
mitted that her story was true. He was ar
rested and placed in charge of an officer, who
accompanied him to Newark, where he con-
fessed to his wife.
The young mans father, who resides in
Morristown, made up the deficiency in his
accounts, and the prisoner was then released
1t was said yesterday that he would go to
Europe. He is 80 years old, and has two

GREENvILLE, s. c., May 13.-In February,
1882, brutal assault was committed ON re-
spectacle white girl near Greers, town four
teen miles from here. Thomas Keller, Il
white man Of this city, answered the general
description Of the criminal and had been
seen in the neighborhood of the crime on the
day of its commission. A squad of tho citi-
zeus who were searching for the william came
here to Greenville and took Keller to Greers,
W here large crowd gathered to lynch him.
The young lady positively declared that he
was the wrong man, and he was then released
and sent home. Subsequently he brought
suit for damages against the men of the party
that arrested hiSh, and the case was tried here
last month. During the trial the defendants
introduced such strong circumstantial evil
dence of Kellers guilt-discovere in the eff
fort TO justify the arrost-and the victim of
the assault gave such uncertain testimony
that Keller not only lost his case but was yes.
terday arrested for the crime by officers of the
law. He was examined before trial Justice,
and committed to jail on the evidence brought
forward in tho civil suit to await trial for
the assault, which is capital oD'ense in this
state. 1t does not seem improbable that Kel-
ler's suit for damages may result in his being
hanged.
