How seldom. things are given
their right name in this world aot
sham and showi Humanity is
prone to Judge the merits of a thing
by its outward appearance. They
seem to forget that while 'echarrns
strike the sight, merit wins the
soul" We too often link true merit
with outside show, nobility with
wealth, dishonor with poverty, for
getting that most Of our brightest
intelFects and towering minds were
born and reared IN poverty. In
forming our opinions of men we are
inclined to forget, for we certainly
know the truthfilness of the old
adage:
s'Honor and shame from no condition rise;
Z Act wen your part, there all the honor les."79
Accumulated riches alone do not
make man truly noble. 1t takes
more than sdimes and dollars to
make a true, noble man. Neither
on the other hand does poverty
make a person dishonorable. Far
from it. There is no disgrace in
being poor. There is no condition
of birth that makes. man either
noble or ignoble. Each person has
within himself the power to make
his own character. Z Whether he is

HIDDEN TREASURES.

When we look back one hundred
years, science seems to have been in
its infancy. The mighty pswer OF
steam was then unknown. Elec-
tricity was waiting to be. utilized
and harnessed to the chariot of pro-
gress. These two great levers that
now move the world then lay dor
mant, laughing at mans ignorance.
If we could raise the mystic veil and
see the powers that are now sur
rounding gus-undeveloped-and the
discoveries and inventions that are
to be made in the next century, we
would be, startled with amazement,
and cry out inpossi6lel -.i.,3
The scientific world does not hold
all, the hidden and valuable treas
ures. But let us for a moment peer
into the vast empire of the, mind,
and heart, and there we will find
hidden treasures far more valuable
and precious than the purest geld
or most costly diamond. s.4 r.
Here is a source of wealth that
far surpasses anything of a material
character. The first will pass away
with the things ofgthis world but

LIFE FROM A SCHOOL,
GIRLS STANDPOINT.

What is life, but an empty term
that signifies a restless, passing
dream? So
Especially, are these terms appli-
cable SO often, to the life of the
school girl.
The girl, little wiry creature,
with dimple cheek and smiling
brow, does she ever realize that life
from her standpoint is "real p
She builds her air-castles which
are beautiful, but Time alone defies
her to do her "best," then swallows
her like little "drep of rain," with
the window in the air-castle unfin-
ished. She has often heard oflife's
realities, but experience has not yet
taught her that 'slife is real."
She views girl that is through
school with envious eyes, if she were
Snly done with. textbooks and
black boards-with hateful compo-
sitions and Darbarous languages--
with all the numerous PHILOSOPHERS
and slogies that make up curricu-
lum of headache studies; what a
bright and glorious future would be
before herl
Often feeling little wearied at
trying to solve a somewhat difficult
problem in mathematics, or falling
to read her Latin lesson correctly.
She closes her book, tips back her
chair and allows her mind to wan
der into the future, when she will
be mistress of a mansion marking
out the path of life amid "fswery
beds of ease" She does not realize
that the stars of her character are
brought forth by earnest and pa
tlent toll while school girl.
After school-days are past, near
ly all agree, in regarding them as
the most pleasant period Of life.
But the schoolgirl only sees the
dark side, thus proving the truth of
the old adage. BLESSINGS brighton
as they take their fight" There is
never life SO happy but a cloud
sometimes appears.
Do you not all acknowledge that
in spite of our "little trials there
is more brightness than darkness
resting upon cur path
The same stars that so sweetly
'sang together will still twinkle in
the evening sky, the same sun that
reveals the beauties of nature and
cheers the heart of man will still
roll above our heads, and. of what
ever we may be deprived, now, we
still hope to retain "our heads for
thought, our hands for labor, and
our hearts for lore"

thize with these in distress and
| grief; and scatter flowers in their
path to make life to them sweeter
and less Of a burden and trial. It
is noble to scatter seeds of kind
ness as we journey through this
sad and cold hearted world, that we
may reap an abundant harvest in
the "sweet bye and bye. It is
noble to speak gently, kindly to the
poor, to reverence and respect the
siIyery headed pilgrim from time to
eternity. 1t is noble to love and
obey eur parents "that our days
may be. long, and above all it is
noble to loYe and praise the immac-
ulate Son, of, God, who died upon
the cross that VIC might live ID bliss
with him ferevers 1t is noble TO
put our trust in that Savior who
gave himself ransom for our sins,
and who will in the end, if we but
fully trust him, take us home to
that mansion made without hands,
there to rest in celestial bliss
throughout vast eternity. 1t is no.
bic to scatter the sunbeams of our
kind words and actions along our
pathway, that they may light up
the sbenighted, weary soul Of some
tired traveller over life's rugged
road Little things that cost moth
ing, how they brighten life ! Little
words of love, how they cheer our
drOoping heartsl We call these 1T
tie things, but nothing is little that
gives such joy and happiness. A
pleasant smile for one less fortunate
than we, kind word for one dis
eouraged and despondent, soft an
swer for an angry word-these we
call little things, but they are, also,
truly noble, because they shed hap
piness upon all around and ennoble
our own souls. To prefer the good,
the happiness, the comfort Of others
to that of our own, is beautifully
noble What a sweet, joyous world
this would be, were this the law of
society! Then love would rule the
hearts of all. Peace and happiness
would reign supreme, and earth
would be a paradise compared to
what it now is.
While each Individual has it with
in his own power, to certain ex-
tent, to be noble, yet all true nobil-
ity of soul must come from Him
who alone i'giveth all good and per-
feet gifts" We cannot be truly
noble in the sight of Heaven unless
our hearts are purified by Him. Let
us then seek true nobility of soul,
and prize it above all earthly treas
ures, fer, this alone can make us
truly happy in this world, and eter-
nally happy in the world beyond,
where the river of life burst forth
from the throne, and f-s .f

Five years ago there lived in
Centsrville, near this place, a WE'LL
.to-do carpenter, David Matthews,
with his wife and baby boy. Mat
.theWs had been i'll in health, and
ileftthis wife and child, presumably
for a voyage on o coaster to the
I Bermudas and back. Forsix months
the wife heard no. word from her
husband, when intelligence came
from the American consul. that
David Matthews had died of yellow
fever. in the West Indies two months
after he had. left home, Another
childwas born shortly latter Mat
thews DEPARTURE With no means
of support, Mrs. Matthews soon had
to earn, her living as a seamstress.
About a. year ago . young me-
chanic, Phillip Laferty, of Phila-
delphia, an old schoolmate of David
Matthews, met the widow of his old
companion. A warm attachment
sprung up between the pair. Mrs.
Matthews agreed to marry him.
Lafferty then purchased back the
old home of Mrs Matthews, and
with the, young j widow, now his
wife, and her. two children, had just
begun to keep house, whom David
Matthews, the long absent and sup
posed dead husband, returned. He
said he had made handsome for

country he has been for four years.
When Matthews limited that he
would demand his wife and children
the reighbors, who we're disgusted
with the modern = Enoch Arden's
dssertion of hiss wife, said that there
would be a. lot of cold lead, tar,
feathers, etc, used up if Lafferty
and her whom he believed to be his
lawful wife, were molesteds Final
ly Matthews consented to permit
bis wife to obtain a legal separation,
the mother surrendering the eldest
child, boy, to tho father, while the
younger one, a little girl whom the
father neter saw, was permitted to
remain with the mother. Mrs.
Matthew'S then determined to live
apart from LaffertY until she could
obtain legal separation from her

Awhile teacher of a colored school
went to West Point, Ca, from La
Grange, the other night, taking
with him bright mulatto girl, one
of his pupils. He bought tickets for
q theatrical entertainment, and en-
tered the hall with the girl on his
arm. 1t was some time before the
fact was discovered, but when it was
he was quickly hustled out, and that
night after the performance the
young men of West Point treated
him to a sound thrashing.
