1t Is a very nice distinction that the
Cleveland apulOgistS make between per
Suual public character and personal pri-
waite character. They hold that
BlaincS character as connected with bust
ness enterprises is personal public charac-
ter, and hence fairly open To criticism.
But Cleveland'S character III the matter of
morality is, they think, in the nature of
personal private character, and not fairly
open to comment. This seems to bring
moral philosophy down to the very simple
axiom that IL man may be as foul rs he
likes privately SO long as he preserves IL
decent front view for the public edilica-
ton.

A CHINESE SUPERSTITION.

: AS an illustration of the regardlessness of
the Chinese for their female offspring, a child
of tender years was observed to fall from a
sampan into the river on Saturday last, when
no attempt whatever was made to effect its
rescue. The infant, however, fortunate ly be-
came entangled in the cordage of broken
spar, which, whilst drifting down the river,
was picked up by the crew of another boat
and the child restored to her parents, who, as
is customary, administered sound fogglng
to the semi-drowned infant. The theory held
by the natives is, that by preserving fellow
creature from a watery grave the rescuer is
answerable in the next world for all the sins
afterwards committed by the person rescued !;
which literally means that a wise dispensation
of Providence has been frustrated. = Hong

Said Mr.. g., 81 think this is remarkable
incident How few men would have thought
to ask themselves the question When is
thing proved What constitutes proof? And
how few young men of eighteen would have
been able to master the whole of Euclid IN
single winter, without teacher. And still
fewer after they had done SO much, would
have realized or acknowledged that geometry
had done SO much for them; that it had told
them what proof was.
So, my young friends, you may perhaps
see by this incident what geometry will do for

The nineteenth anniversary of the National
Temperance Society was celebrated in the
North Broad Presbyterian church, Philadel-
phia, on Sunday evening last. Secretary
Stearns made brief address at the opening,
reviewing the work of the past and outlining
the future policy of the society. He stated
that the principle work of the society was in
the SOUTH and that Rev. G. HI. Mead, who
was doing missionary service there among the
freedmen was meeting with great success.
But So, 900 had been contributed, he said,
to aid the society in its labors during the past
year 100000 are needed for this year, as
the field of labor is charging wonderfully.
Mr.. Stearns was followed by Col. Balm, who
delivered characteristic address. full of pa
thos, vim and common sense. He denounced
the high license humbug in unmeasured terms.
Col Balm has been laboring with the society
for the past twelve years. Gen. G. b. Fisk,
the chairman, made the final address. The
general made some statements that were
startling. At a recent meeting of New York
city liquor dealers, which he attended, it was
announced that $3.50, 900, 900 represented the
liquor business /" of that city in the last
twelve months In speaking of his hopes for
the early overthrow of the rum traffic the
general remarked that when a boy he used to
build fires in a little old school house where
some twenty five abolitionists used to meet
and discuss the slavery question, and little
did he think then that he would live to see
the day when slavery would cease to exist.
And SO it would be with the temperance ques-
ton; the outlook for the present may be
dark, but the future is bright with prom
Use. The audience was large and appre-
ciative. The pastor of the church, Rev. r.
D. Harper, is in evident sympathy with the
cause

CHEERFULNESS.

Men seldom give pleasure when they are
not pleased themselves it is necessary, there
fore, to cultivate an habitual alacrity and
cheerfulness, that, in whatever state we may
be placed by nature-whether we are ap-
pointed to confer or receive benits, to i'm
plore or afford protection-we may secure
the love of those with whom we have deal
ings. For, though it is generally imagined
that he who grants favors may spare any at
tention to his behavior, and that usefulness
will always procure friends, yet it has been
found that there is an art in granting requests
an art very difficult of attainment.

A TURKISH MILITARY EPISODE.

The personal bravery of the Turkish SOL
der is too well known to require repeated as
sertion, but l may mention remarkable ex-
hibition of it which fell under my own notice.
During Omer Pasha's Bosnian campaign, in
which accompanied him in order to report
to Lord Stratford on his progress in suppress
ing great rebellion, we marched along the
for fording, in the hope of being able to cross
it at ferry some miles further west The
enemy were in force on the other side. A
Captain of cavalry was sent on with fifty men
to take possession of the ferry-boat. When
we reached the place, the boat was there and
the Captain was there, but instead of fifty
men there were not more than twenty. The
Pasha asked where the rest were. The Cap
tain pointed to the river, and replied with
perfect quietness of manner that he had
found the ferry boat on the other side of the
river, defended by hundreds of armed Bos-
mans, and that he had been obliged to swim
the stream and bring the boat back under
fire which had killed thirty of his men, "Af
erin, DergiM Agh0," was all Omer Pasha
said. 1 lost patience with his cold, "Well
done, Dervish Agha" after such gallant
feat. 1 told him that in an English or French
force an officer would have Immediately been
promoted for it, and asked him how he could
expect his troops to distinguish themselves
without other acknowledgment than such
faint praise "Well, well, you need not get
excited over it," answered the Pasha coolly,
lighting cigar. "Dervish Agha promote
you to the command of your regiment, which
is vacant. You shall have your .tirman as
Colonel by return of post from Stamboul.
Fall in, and pass the word to all the Colonels
that we halt in half an hour here to give their
men smoke" The young officer saluted
and fell in at the head of his regiment with
an unconcerned look which surprised me-
Omer Pasha, who could not live without
smoking, never INDUCED in a cigar without
allowing all those with him to light their
pipes. AS Turks, they adored him according
ly. At later period of the campaign, a trust
worthy officer of rank was required to take

Never a word is said
But it trembles in the air,
And the truant voice has sped
To vibrate eyerywhere
And perhaps far off in eternal years
The echo may ring upon our ears.
Never are kind acts done
To wipe the weeping eyes,
But like flashes of the sun
The signal to the skies;
And up above the angels read
How we have helped the sorer need.
Never day is given
But it tones the after years,
And it carries up to heaven
Its sunshine or its tears
While the to-morrows stand and wait,
The silent mutes by the outer gate.
There is no end to the sky,
And the stars are everywhere,
And time is eternity,
And here is over there.
For the common deeds of the common day
Are ringing bells in the far-away.

HOW TO WORK THE BRAIN.

HOW TO WORK THE BRAIN.
There are among our readers large num-
Der of young people, many of them looking
forward to or just entering upon an intellect
ual life in some form-either in literature,
the ministry, law, medicine, or some other
field wherein their powers both as students
and thinkers should be SO developed and dis
ciplined as to secure the greatest and best re-
suits. The class of young men who imagine
that there is some occult connection between
gin and genius, and that late hours and
general Bohemian life are essential to literary
and artistic advancement, is much smaller
than twenty years ago. But there are many
young fellows coming on who think that a
certain carelessness of life and manner-an
autocratic sort of Independence grand con-
tempt for conventionalities and superb
scorn of regularity of all sorts-such as has
characterized few great geniuses in the
world, is just the thing for them to affect.
Yet, if there is anything which even very
clever young man should congratulate him
self on, it is the knowledge, early acquired,
that he isn't a genius. For if ne thinks other
wise the chances are thousand to one that
the mistake may spoil him-while If he prove
to be genius the world will be sure to find
it out before he does. Among the hackneyed
definitions of genius none are better than
these: " Genius is only great perseverance
Observation-Disclosures :" or, "Genius is only
great capacity for receiving discipline. J"
There is vast difference in natural gifts. but
the 'genius for doing fourteen hours of hard
work per day " is the sort that has changed
the face of the world.
1t is of the first importance, therefore, to
know how to work to advantage. And one OF
the best rules is to learn how to organize your
time. That is what Lord Bacon meant in
saying, "to choose time is to save time. J"
And by that we have no idea that the wise
man meant that we should choose to burn the
midnight oil as a regular habit nor that we
should loaf around the edges of our work, as
it were, waiting for !" a mood" to come and
tell us to take hold The habit of our most
healthful cheerful, lasting literary workers
those who do the most of the best kind of
brain labor-is to apportion their time SO as
to bring all their duties within certain pre-
scribed limits, and then to do each task in its
own time extraordinary events alone pre-
venting. In this they are wiser than the
ministers, for example, who form the vicious
habit of delaying the preparation of their
sermons until the last moment and then drive
it through with rush. Much good work is
done under stress like this, but nature takes
notice of it-that watchful and memorable
guardian who knows neither pity nor injustice.
The rule should be, first to keep in such bod
lily and mental conditions as to have control
of the faculties, and next, by system,
regularity and good tempered persever-
ance, keep at work until it is done, leaving
moods to those who can afford or who cannot
conquer them Golden Rule.
