love'2 Poor Jasper he had been un,
happy in his marriage, and upon his
wife's death had come home with his
son after long years spent in poverty
abroad.
He did not think the Lady Annabel
too old for him now, so the castle was
the second time illuminated for a mar
riage, and second time were the jewels
taken from their cases.
"Jasper," said Annabel, "the world
will call us an old couple. 1t is true
years have passed over us. We have
been old, both Of us, but it was sorrow
that made us 80, not time. Sorrow has
left us now, and time has brought us tc
this, our second youth. Is it not so
For, although they speak the truth when
they say both of us have gray hairs, yet,
If they could but see our hearts, they
would say there is youth yet in them
as in the day when I would not dance
with you because you were a head short
er than I, or the day when you deserted
me because 1 was too old for YOU"

LYING THOUGHTS.

EXPERIENCE is the extract of suffering.
A MIND once cultivated will not lie
fallow for half an hour.
PATIENCE, the second bravery of man,
is, perhaps, greater than the first.
The public mind is educated quickly
by events-slowly by arguments.
SPANISH proverb: The man who STUN
bles twice on the same stone is fool.
If the end of one mercy were not the
beginning of another we were undone.
LEARN to take life as it comes, but be
sure to make the best Of it before il
goes.
TIE wisdom of the wise, and the ex-
perience Of ages, may be preserved by
quotations.
The flowers of rhetoric are only ac-
ceptable when backed byth eyergreens
of truth and sense.
WE do love beauty at first sight, and
we do cease to love it if it is not accom-.
panied by amiable qualities.
The virtue OF a man ought to be meas.
ured, not by his extraordinary exer,
tons, but by his everyday conduct.
NOTHING is rich but the inexhaustiblc
wealth of nature. She shows us only
surfaces, but she is million fathoms deep.
The whole universe of God will crum.
BILE to pieces before God will overlook OF
despise one single tear of genuine re.
pentance.
GRIEF should be
Like joy-majestic, equable, sedate,
Confirming, C .eansing. raising, making free.

STAY OUT NO LONGER.


There is no sufficient reason why any man
who has earned the right to join the GAR.
should continue to remain outside of the Order.
He cannot deny that the work it is doing is
praiseworthy in the highest degree. He can
not help seeing and recognizing the benefits,
wherever he turns his eyes. Wherever there
is an active, well-organized Post he sees a good
work done, and an influence exerted that is for
the highest benefit of individuals and the com
munity. He sees sick and decrepit comrades
visited, cared for and provided with needed
ing employment He sees the dead buried,
the widows cared for and comforted, the chill
dren clothed and educated. He sees the rising
generation Taught, by actual precept and ex-
ample, lessons in manhood and citizenship of
the highest Importance to the community.
He sees the highest honors paid to something
beside wealth or position He sees patriotism
and the nobility of loyalty and courage exalted
as attributes of manhood, beside which riches
and official station are unregarded dross. He
sees held up for esteem and imitation as the
best type of citizens those men who did their
duty well in the days when duty called to the
field of battle, and required that everything
even life itself-be laid upon the altar of the
country
If any man feels that he did the right and
creditable thing in serving in the army during
the war, he should have no hesitation in join
ing an Order whose fundamental principle is a
recognition and appreciation of the rightful-
ness and creditability of all men serving their
country when she needs them, and which gives
practical application of such appreciation by
recognizing and caring for men who have SO
served, and impressng this lesson upon the
youth of the community, who may at any time
be called upon for similar service.
Really the same spirit that moved man to
enter the army in 1865 should move him
to enter the GAR That is, there is some
thing being done for the general good, in which
he should have his proper share. To not assist
in this is TO shirk duty, just as not going to
the front 20 years ago was unmanly shirking
The GAR should have half million mem
bers before the end of the present Commander
in-Chiefs term. If it does it viii be the most
powerful organization for good in the country
1t is doing an immense amount of good with
its present membership of less than q quarter
million. It's efficiency viii be quadrupled by
doubling its membership and therefore it is a
patriotic duty for every comrade not now a
member to join, and bring in with him all
whom he can influence to take the step.
The National tribune., 1884-09-18

THE electricians of the United States have
been holding an important aud fruitful confer
ence in Philadelphia, which must be of great
value to the whole country in the diffusion of
electrical knowledge and the careful determi-
nation of what are settled and accepted facts
in the science. The Conference decided that
the unit of electro-motive force shall be known
as the Watt" and be equal to Al foot-pounds.
The horsepower is to be raised to the equi-
valent of 1000 Watts" or 1900 foot-pounds.
The standard of electric lighting was made by
adopting as a unit the present unit in force IN
England and Franee-that is, the equivalent
of the light cast by sperm candle on white
surface at the distance of 12.7 inches. The Con-
ference adopted strong resolution calling
upon the Government to establish a Bureau of
Electrical Measures. which should fl standards
like those which now exist for the ordinary
weights and measures in use in the operations
of everyday life.

THE LESSON OF sruefpE.

Several bank officials, who had wickedIy
gambied away the money entrusted to their
care, have committed suicide recently.
This is a most encouraging sign. 1t shows
that the moral atmosphere is getting much
more vigorous and bracing than it has been.
We have been too much in the habit of con-
sidering men who took Others money over the
banks counter, and then could not hand it
back again as unfortunate" the victims of
business reyerses," etc. The poor fellow who
had entrusted his money to the other for safe
keeping did not come in for any great share of
sympathy. He was lost sight of in the eager
ness to slop over on the fellow who had bet
on the wrong card, named the slow horse in
the pools, or bought wheat dear and had to
sell it cheap. The poor depositor-whose life
long savings were perhaps gone-was a slow
going, money-saying fellow, without any social
virtues or popular qualities, while the man
who stole his hard earnings was almost always
a man of sprincely generosity" liberal sub
scriber to all popular objects, and hospitable
entertainer.
1t is wholesome sign Of a changed public
opinion that bank officials whose thefts have
been found out cut their throats or blow their
brains out rather than face the frowns of
the community. Where public disapproval of
such form of dishonesty has come to be SO
dreaded that men viii die rather than face it,
we may congratulate ourselves that our stand
ard of honesty is being continually raised
higher
This method has a charming superiority to
the customary criminal processes. Where ras-
caily bank officers are brought to trial it too
frequently happens that the jury disagrees or
some flaw in the Indictment lets the scoundrel
go free. But when he viii, of his own motions;
inhiet capital punishment on himself, it seems
that we are making very gratifying progress
toward a better state of public morals.
The National tribune., 1884-09-18

such great corporations as those which control
the "bonanza farms Of Minnesota and the
giant stock ranches of the Territories. These
are much more greedy of lands than the great
mobiles of England, and when they get land
they cling to its possession with the utmost
tenacity; only bankruptcy can bring about
disintegration of the vast estates, and bank
ruptcy may not do it, They are much worse
occupants of the lands, too, than the English
nobility. These latter compel the farmers
to whom they lease their acres to maintain
the fertility of the same, but the policy of the
9 bonanza people and the ranchers is to take
everything off the land and put nothing back.
We are face to face with some very difficult
problems, which will require the most serious
consideration to solve properly.
The National tribune., 1884-09-18
IANn GRABBING.

None too soon are the people becoming
aroused TO the dangers attending the rapid
absorption of the public domain by home cor
porations and foreign capitalists.
The taking up of great tracts of land by
American spectators is smaller evil. Where
one man owns piece of land, no matter how
big, we need not complain, because he viii die
some time and the land be divided.
But corporations do not die, and they rarely
sell or waste away real estate. European, and
especially British, owners are much the same
way. The tendency of their laws and of the
land owners minds is strongly against any
division of lands or alienation of their title, so
that in England landed estates have been
growing in size for centuries, and now p
owners hold over 100000 of the 100000
acres in Great Britain, 1,454 owners hold
24,o0o0Oo acres, OF nearly one half, and 2,2s8
owners hold 100000 acres, or nearly four
ffths, and 1900 owners hold nine-tenths of
the whole acreage.
The following are few of the great English
estates as collated by Bateman from the Domes-
day Book:

BETTER THAN EVER.

Good as THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has been
in the past, we propose to make it very much
better in the future. We hope to be able to show
a radical Improvement in every weeks issue.
We know, and our subscribers everywhere tell
US continually, that we are publishing the best
paper in the Nation. But while they may be
satisfied with its goodness, we are not. We
want to have itso much the best paper that
IFS superior excellence win be everywhere
acknowledged. We have new attractions in
consideration for this Fall and Winters issues
that will greatly increase the papers worth
and attractiyeness.
