Whenever you command, add
your reasons for doing 50; it is
this which distinguishes the APP
probation Of a man of sense from
the fiattcry Of sycophants and ad-
miration of fools.
Never seek to be entrusted
with your friends secret, for, NO
matter how faithfully you may
keep it, you will be liable in a
thousand contingencies to the sus~
picion Of having betrayed it.

Active Old Men.

The city of Salem, Mass, which is
one of the oldest settlements in the
country and which made itself famous
two centuries ago by its activity in the
witchcraft delusion, has many antiqui-
ties, such as houses, furniture, and
brio a-brac. Not the least notable of
its ancient objects of pride are its ac-
tive old men. Many very old gentle
men are there engaged in various duties
and showing all the vigor of their
freedom years" Following are the
names of some of its bank cashiers,
who began work when the title of
bank cashier" was not synonymous
with those of defaulters and Sunday
school superintcndents, and who have
never learned the modern method of
getting rich in hurry at the expense
of those who contide in their honor:
Mr.. William H. Foster, who has just
entered upon his s7th year, has been
fifty-nine fyears in the service of the
Asiatic National bank, of which fifty
six have been as cashier; Mr.. Edward
Fl. Payson has been for fifty-seven
years cashier of the First National bank,
formerly the Commercial; and Mr..
Joseph H. Towne has just closed ser

The Chameleon.
Tribes on Ny Frontier.

Tribes Ny Frontier.
Philosopher As he is. the chameleon
requires food, and since he is too slow
to go after it, he brings it to him. As
his ball-and-socket eyes roll this way
and that way. one of them marks a
large white butterfly walking up the
bars of his cage. and he forms a pur-
pose to eat it. He unwinds his tail.
then relaxes the grasp of his broad
palms one at time for he is extreme
ly nervous about falling and breaking
his. bones). and so he advances slowly
along the twig until he is within six
inches of his prey, then he stops. and
there is working in his swollen
throat; he is cumming his tongue. At
last he leans forward and opens his pre-
posterous mouth, and that member
protrudes like goose quill stepped in
white bird-iime. For a moment he
takes aim. and then, too quick for eye
to follow it. the horrid instrument has
darted forth. and returned like elastic
to its place. and the gay butterfly is be-
ing crunched and swallowed as fast as
anything can be swallowed when tongue
and Jaws and throat are smeared with
viscid slime. But this part OF the pro-
cess is inconceivably vulgar, and we
may well leave the chemeleon to him
self till it is over.

Another EnOch Arden.

Five years ago David Matthews, of
Pleasantville, n. j., disappeared from
that place, leaving wife and child.
Some time after his departure another
child was born to his wife. No letter
or message was ever received from him
by his anxious wife, and nearly year
after he left home Mrs. Matthews re-
ceived documents apparently showing
that her husband died in one of the
West India Islands. She then consid-
cred herself free woman, and meeting
a young and enterprising mechanic who
was pleased with her ways, accepted
his offer Of marriage, and after duly re-
lating the incidents of her husbands
disappearance to her lover and clergy
man. both being satisfied with the story,
Mr.. Lafferty, the mechanic, and Mrs.
Matthews were married. The couple
had hardly begun housekeeping when
they were confronted by the supposed
to-be-dead husband. He said that it
was his brother Daniel who had died
and that he conspired with friend to
make his wife believe that he had turned
his toes to the daisies. For four years
he had been in Brazil and had acquired
a handsome fortune in the mines there.
He had now come back to share the for
tune with his wife. The wife, however,
was not disposed to give up her affec-
tions for her new husband, and refused
to return to her long-lost husband, but
secured a divorce from him. and then
remarked Mr.. Lafferty.
