A Soft Answer.

Wrath is cruel and anger is outrage
Gus, but soft answer turneth away
wrath, while grievous words stir up an
ger. Wrath disturbs the soul and hides
the beautiful face of Truth, which is
perfectly reflected only in still waters.
1t clouds the eve of reason and makes
the Light in the soul da kness. Hence
he that is slow to wrath is of great un-
derstanding, ard he that by soft an
swer turneth away wrath confers upon
him whose wrath is rned away an in
estimable benefit. One would think
that when SO great good could be so
easily done. doe S of such good would

ward he bobbed up in Hungary as a
former Austrian officer, and gained ad-
mission to high circles. Before long,
however, his indiscret:ons exposed him,
greatly to the CONSERVATION of those
who had made him loans. Saxony then
received him, where he passed for a
Count. The wealthy burghers were
flattered with his attentions to their
pretty daughters, and he became en-
gagged to several in various cities, while
he borrowed large sums of his prospec-
tive fathers-in-law. After it was no
longer safe he as regularly disap-
peared, and to save q scandal none OF

A few months ago the ''count" ar.
! rived in Berlin and as his papers, coat
of-arms, ETC.. bore investigation, he was
taken at face value. Here he attempted
his old tricks, by the aid of his accom-
pl ce. who, however, eventually had the
"count" brought to justice.
One evening as dusk fell. the daugh-
ter of wealthy citizen was passing
through an unfrequented street to

then offered to see the frightened girl
to her residence. Here he asked the
privilege of calling next day to inquire
after health, and handed her his card.
''Count -" Grateful for his servi-
ces and flattered at receiving noble.
mans attentions, she acquiesced. And
when he did appear next day, the girls
parents received him with elusive
thanks. The plan worked well. He
called frequently. and finally paid the
young woman such marked attentions
that her father looked into the
counts" record. He learned that no
such noble family existed in Austria.
but that the elegant "Count -" was
q swindler of the worst type and an ex-
valet. The father was man of spirit,
and promptly reported his discoveries
to the police. Proof of the counts"
many lhefts were forthcoming; he was
arrested, and at the trial his whole his
tory came out. He was sentenced to q
long term of Imprisonment.
Tne latest sensation of this nature is
fresh. The other evening two elegant
ly-attired ladies drove up in private
carriage to a large jewelry establish
ment and entered. The room was full
of customers and all the force engaged.
While one of the women kept a clerk
busy. the other slipped case VI dia-

cloak-pocket without being noticed.
They then left the shop. entered the

However curious Dan may nave been,

him fer the exercise of wonder or inqui-

on him at first its mood soon changed;
and with the tickleness he too readily
attributed to her sex. the novelty of his
appearance soon ceased. to cha m her.
She began to tidset and kick. and toss
her arms about, and then to comfort her
little face into such hideoSs grimaces
that Dan was terrified and thought she
was going into a fit. These signs Of
discomfort failing to produce the desired
effect, she opened her mouth and gave
vent to series of yells which were at
least reassuring as to the condition of
her lungs, but so sudden that her mex
perienced nurse nearly dropped her on
the floor.
"What on earth am l to do with
herP" exclaimed the poor fellow, in dis
may, while he vainly sought to quiet
the infants cries by rocking her in his
arms, swinging herto and fro. and trot-

afresh with redoubled energy.
Dan began to feel that never till then
had he known what it was to be truly
miserable. At last the baby got her
poor little fist in her mouth, and at the
same moment an inspiration came to
Dan.
"The child is hungryr' he cried.
"W hat fool am But what in Heav-
ems name shall l do? Babies live on
milk, and there hasn been such thing
in this house for a month" Here was
new and terrible dilemma. If there
was nothing in the house that the infant
could eat she would starve to death; but
there must be something.

feeling strangely fiurried and nervous

search for suitable food to appease its

dared to hope. He found some broken
milk-cracker. and a can from the bot
tom and sides of which he managed to
scrape a few spoonfuls of leathery paste.
But mamma in the wilderness waS not

He filled tin cup with snow, elted
and boiled it over his fire and prepared
moderately wholesome and appetizing

The human heart is wondrous mix
ture of diverse elements. Blind instinct
and binder appetite clamor for satis-
faction; the fires of passion flame up
at breath. and how often by usurping
wrath and pride is Reason driven rom
her throne! But soft answer,
like oil on the troubled waters,
assuages the tumult and places
again in the hands of Reason her
scepter. Under many a calm exterior
what sufierings are concealed, what
rooted sorrows dwell in the recesses cf
the soul, sorrows shared with no one.
Few are the hearts that have not some
secret sorrow: it NAV be congeuital
taint. an inherited tendency, sense of
forfeited self-respect, q neglected op-
portunity, an irreparable loss. To all
such hearts how grateful, how healing,
are soft answers, gentle words. kindly
ministrations. We often call those

because there are none to speak to them

many hireling words of kindness are
more precious than the wages he elrns,
necessary as these are to keep soul and

the soul itself from disintegratiOn and
despair.
There are times when noble words Of
indignation and rebuke are called for;
there may be times when scorn and con-
tempt are deserved. But when erring
men and women sit in judgment on
their fellows, let them who will need
mercy forget not to show mercy.
"There is forgiveness with thee that
thou mayest be feared"
Those who have drunk deepest of the
cup of sorrow, who have had the largest
experience of life, who have observed
most widely and studied mot deeply
the mysteries of human nature and hu-
man life. are most patient, most pitiful,
most long-suffering and forb airing.
They hesitate to pronounce judgment,
they are most ready to pardon the er-
ring, to give hope to the penitent, 10
trust that somehow good will be the
final end of it." Their knowledge and
experience produce in them constant
disposition to be lenient. patient. and
to give a soft answer to every suffering
fellow-being.-N y Tribune.
