 Some men delight to boass of their freedom from the small vices to which thsir acquaintanoes are addicted. Not only in words, but in actions do these evidences of moral arrogance eject dis play. There is as much egotism in q walk as there is in vord- The egosism of action seems to settle in the back of q mans neck. The sudden drawing of a cord, slight jerk, tell the beholder that the gentleman is triie better than his neighbor. There are times when it is humiliasing to meet this sort of man. MT. Quibly meets party of old friends. Their songs grow mellower and mellowes. Friendship is warmed into love, love in- spires confidence. When morning comes MT. Quibly ga:hes himself from sofa. The keen saws ofremorse are cutting him. Even the cool air of the morning is a breath of repioach. There is no pride in his walk. His soul is humiliated. He meets the gentleman who has never caught up handful of small vices and scattered them like a dash of darling pearls. The halfformed smile of superi- ority; the poise of the neck, the general bearing of "rm better than you," throw the scalding water of shame on the spirits of the poor fellow who sang with his friends He feels no kindness for the man who never sowed thss deiu.ive grain of folly, and yet, perhaps, the superior gentleman never stole but three or four horses during the entire course of his placid life. Doubtless he has never in- vested money for more than half dozea oonfding widows; but the humiliased man who in mellowness the night before met his friends, does not think of the pure gentleman's comparative freedom from crime.
 Some men are too pure-that is, they would have you regard them the violet of virtue. Such men have ruined more homes-have scattered black ashes over more hearth-ssones; have plunged more trusting friends into the whirlpool of financial disaster, than the unpresentious man of small vices he who has felt the burning coals of humiliation he who has smote his breast and said, Lord be merciful unto me, a sinner"
 When good resolution becomes osten- tatious, it is no lsnger worthy of high re- gard when piety becomes the tinseled regalia of parade, it is no longer a virtue. When the gifted Paul said, Mot by works lest any man should boas,,n how well he understood the weakness of the flesh.

"l must not be put of this way" said young Spandling to Judge Pottsmore. "i love your daughter. It is all very well, judge, for you take practical view oi the matter, but, sir, when two hearts yearn toward each other, why sir, it is time for all foolish opposition to cease ;
 "Then, if understand the situation, you love Pauline ?7
 "l do. love her for her worh.''
 That's what l thought, but how much do you think she is worth .''
 "You do not understand me. Your views are sordid. You are placing upon my affections financial valuation
 "Not at all, for your affections are worth nothing financially"
 Judge, you are cruel. Say .ha, you will consent p
 ."No use to say it, for don'tn'

 None that can see at the present writing."
 "What shall dor sinking on he sofa.
 Better get up and stir around a little, reckon. Exercise would help you.'
 "Oh, iron-clad fate!''
 "Yes, and oh, galvanized destiny. ..'
 "l thought, judge, that you had spo. of tenderness"
 :" have I've got the gout."
 "What will Pauline say when she hears of your cruel decision!"
 She'll get over it. Her fate has been decided several times"
 What! you don't say tha. she has ever loved anyone else?"
 Well, don't know. She has been very much concerned on several ocea- sions. Wanted to marry young Spike nard some time ago and would have done SO had it not been for iron-clad fate. He played with horse out in the Indian territory and he now slumbers in the redman's soil"
 |" know that she loves me, and l know that she is anxious to be my wife,
 No doubt, and l would consent but for the fact that am hardly able to SUD- port you.'
 "Oh, be relieved. My father failed in the merchant-tailoring business, and have clothes enough to last ten years. Besides that I have dyspepsia and eat nothing but oatmeal"
 How much oatmeal have you on hand !'
 My grand-father is a farmer. He supplies me-"
 Well this puts a new phase on the matter. Clothes enough; oatmeal fur nished- All right. sir. you may have her."

NEATNESS.

The frog has the reputation of being a
 dissolute character, but the great care
 which he exercises in sanitary way and
 his general habits of cleanliness must win for him many admirers among the nea. people Of the country. The bullfrog unlike old Sam Johnson, never wears soiled linen. His shirt bosom is immaculate creamy in the richness of its purity. The bullfrog does not slobber on his shirt bosom. No matter how convivial he may be-no matter how late he may be out at night, his shirt bosom, the next morning, looks as though it were newly laundried. The principle of neatness is innate. There are always streaks of slovenliness athwart the esoutcheon of cultivated neatness. Mir. Bobsail, for in- stance, is always neat. His shirt is al- ways clean and about him there is an air of gentility. He seems to make no special effort in this direction. The truth is, his principle of neatness is inborn. Now, there is Mir. Brittlerash. He puts on clean shirt every morning, yet he is never neat. All sorts of stains will 20 out of their way to settle on his shirt bosom. He cannot be neat. The most professor in the school of neat ness could not teach him the art. He was born to be slovenly in appearance.
 The bullfrsg is much heater than the The catfish wears an ulster with a yellow frontage, and he may make an occasional attempt to be cleanly in ap- pearance, but he has never succeeded. There is one thing which stands in his way: He is not careful of his diet. He bites of more than he can chew and on himself The frog looks with something like disdain on the catfish, and it serves him good purpose to keep put of the broad-mouth gentleman's way. The catfish would not hesitate to laoerate the pure bosom of the frog. The catfish is cannibal. He would eat a piece of his grandfather.

evil fate shaped the destiny of Rufus Page. He became involved in quarrel and killed . man. It was clear case of self-deSense, but strong legal talent vas employed against him-some people thought at the secret instance of the gov- ernor. The very day he vas to have been married, he was sentenced to the peni- tentiary for fifteen years.
 Alsaine was almost wild with grief At last she decided to call on the gov- ernor and pray for the pardon of her lover. A term in the penitentiazy would kill him. Pride should not stand in the way. The governor met her kindly. She sank on her knees. He lifed her sen- derly, and placed her in his official chair.
 The next day, Pages pardon was of- ficiaily signed. His heart gave a great bound when he saw the pardon, but soon it sank. A note, which ran as follows, was also given him
 rejoice to know that you will be pardoned. You are man of ability, and bright career no doubt awaits you. Do not attempt to see me. Tomorrow night, shall be the wife of Governor Horn.
