PEARLS OF THouoHr. Railing
among lovers is the next neighbor for
forgiveness.
Across or harsh word make wounds
that never heal.
Gratitude is debt we all owe, and
but few men pay chesrfully.
Man is sect Of tree which we
are too apt to judge by the bark.
Troubles borrowed and stolen out
number, by far, all others in the
world.
Words are the adulterated skim
milk Of life, while example Is the pure
cream.
Most Of our misfortunss are moro
supportable than the comments Of our
friends upon them.
Nature knows no pause in progress
and development, and attaches her
curse on all inaction.
The man who always agrees with
you may be a pleasant companion, but
when you want advice go to some one
else.
Insult not misery, neither derido in-
trinity, nor ridicule deformity; the
first shows inhumsnity; the second,
folly; the third, pride.
Learning makes young men temper
ate, is the comfort Of old age, stand
ing for wealth with poverty, and serv-
ing as an ornament to riches.
II good people would but make
goodness agreeable. and smile instead
of frowning in their virtues, how
many would they gain to the good
cause ?
The courage Of ones emotion Ia
ever rarer than the courage of ones
convictions but when voice trusts
itself to speak Of these things it stirs
universal echoes.

A RoMANcE.--The Washington Cor
respondent Of the New York World
gives the following interesting ro-
nance connected with the life Of the
late r. I. Merrick.
II heard Of romance connected
with the life Of the late Richard Mer-
rick, Of this District who was 80 prom
inent as Tildens counsel before the
Electoral GgmhlsSion. MF. MsFficE IN
early life was lawyer in Chicago.
While there he was very popular in
society, and was regarded as one Of
the most brilliant and promising young
men at the Chicago Bar. The real
reason for his leaving Chicago and
coming back East has never been
known outside Of limited circle of
his friends. 1t appears that he be-
came during his stay in Chicago en-
gagged to the daughter Of one Of the
most prominent owners Of real estate
in that city. She was an only daugh-
ter. Her father was one Of the very
rich men Of that time. She was hand
some, brilliant and accomplished. Mr..
Merrick proposed for her hand and
was accepted. The young lady's fam
lily was very strict. Mr.. Merrick was
Ct a conviyial turn. The result was
an occasional excess, which however,
never appeared to have had any effect
upon his attention to business. The
news Of one Of these outbreaks reached
the ears Of his betrothed. She ao-
ruptly broke off the engagement. She
probably was influenced in this by
her family. Mr.. Merrick made re-
peated efforts TO secured an explana-
ton. Failing in this, in fit Of out
ragged pride he left Chicago forever.
He made q great success before the
District Bar here, and was very de-
voted TO the wife that he afterwards
found in Washington. The Chicago
lady afterwards fell heir 10 a property
Of many millions. She Is to-day the
wife Of one of the leading and most
brilliant members Of our diplomatic
service.

KNIGHTS OF ST. JEROME.
Laying Of the Corner Stone Of their Com
pleied Temple.
SEPTEMBER Both, 1885.

&
AT the appointed hour, under tn,
direction of Thomas Cant, the mem
bers Of the knights ofSt. Jerome were
marshalled before the grand stand
where their President, Nicholas Bis
coe, addressed them. Mr.. Biscoe said
that the order was Roman Catholic
one, and that its objects were mutual
protection--to take care Of the widow
and orphan and to bury the dead. To
show that the association was good
one and deserving Of encouragement,
Mr.. B. adduced instances where had
it not taken care Of sick and disabled
members and decently buried them,
considerable expense would have been
entailed upon the county. At the
conclusion Of his speech, which was a
good one and frequently applauded,
Mr.. Biscoe introduced the orator Of
the day, Mr.. John Cajay, who spoke
as follows
FRIENDS AND FELLOW CITIZENS -
We have assembled here to-day to ded-
icate an emblem to our progress
temple to the honor Of the Knights of
st. Jerome--a temple dedicated to
Love, Charity and Benevolence, the
great trio that makes the good and
patriotic citizen--Love with its never
ceasing adherence to the Great Giver
Of all good for His many blessings.
Charity, like its foster-sister, Love,
makes friend and foe clasp hands in
one general embrace and brightens the
home Of the orphan and the widow,
the poor and the needy, the homeless
and the friendless, the heather and
the savage, then voices in one gene
raj shout the thanksgiving for the
many blessings bestowed by its munif-
icence. The last Of the trio, Benevo-
lence, last but not the least, joins with
the rest in rendering the necessary
support to carry on the great cause of
Humanity. Through Benovolence we
have raised temple, not to Apollo
nor Minerva, not to Jupiter nor to
Mars, not TO Bacchus nor to Venus,
but to Freedom, Liberty and Christi
anity. This triumvirate is the foun-
dation Of this order and upon its crest
we have laid this stone as a memento
to our posterity and monument of
our advancement. Reared in the arms
Of Slavery, rocked in the cradle Of Ad-
versity, clothed with the lash of OPP
preston and bathed with the tears of
our loved ones, we stand to-day like
Calvert at st. Mary's, where, mingled
with the Protestant and the Quaker,

prayers that there had been find a

{ WfIstoa for The Bsac0n)
LABOR.

Kind Reader:--In choosing this sub
ject, which think very good on,
and one which gives room for thought
! shall start out with this beautiful
line as maxim
LABOR AccoMPLlsHEs ALL THINGS.
The longer | hive the more I am i'm,
pressed with the truth and sentiment
which this line conveys to the mind
II is sentiment that every young
man should consider we'll.
Why is it that 90 many young men
pass through their college course with
high honors, and yet when this course
is ended and they begin life in earn
est, they sink into utter obsourity and
are lost among the great multitude Of
the busy world2
This question is of great Importance
to US, for we too will soon engage in
the great struggle of life. Shall we
sink into obscurity with the multitude
who have gone before, or shall we do
honor to our race and generation like
some few who have preceded us2
We may fall into grievous error UNI
less we know, and shun the faults Of
the many and learn and initiate the
virtues of the few.
Many young people Of the present
day are very unfortunately impressed
with the incompatibility Of labor and
genius. From the prevalence Of this
idea, many young men who desire to
establish the impression that they are
brilliant, neglect the sound training
of their text books. Kind readers,
you should be very particular in Sc.
lecting your books to read. You
should strive for the best.
How many young people Of to-day
spend their precious time in reading
trashy novelist The number is very
great indeed.
In reading these novels, the mind
becomes corrupt, and is not fit for
sound literature.
Then labor to become wise, put
forth all energy and labor on through
life. If we do this, | believe that we
shall find labor to bs-amagic rod
which will divide the waters Of diff
Guilty that rise in our way.
An eminent writer has said when
we have had continually before US the
great works of art to impregnate our
minds with kindred ideas, we are then
and not till then 6t to produce some
thing Of the same species. Only after
our minds have been taught to observe
closely, aud TO think the thoughts Of
the noblest and brightest intellects,
are we prepared for the discovery
and selection ofwhat is great and no
BILE in nature" When young men are
called to any profession, even if they
have all the advantages needed for
their success, il they lack diligence
and labor they will never succeed.
Why is it that SO many people Of to-
day do not succeed in things they un.
dertake ? Simply because they do not
go about il in the proper way. The
best and surest plan to succeed is when
you undertake anything, stick to it,
So kind readers, in order to succeed
in life, you must labor.
