PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Industry prevents vice.
Promise little and do much.
Economy i the chair Of old age
Concession is the best peacemalser.
The brave only know how to forgive
Doubt springs from the mind: faith
i the daughter Of the soul.
The moro honesty man has. the
less he affects the air Of saint
Perseverance is the foundation OF
the success Of every undertaking.
The heart. under certain circum-
stances, has surer tests than the head.
AS you cannot avoid your own com
pany make Il a. good AZ possible.
In condemning the vanity Of women,
men complain of the FIRE they them
selves have kindled.
To most men experience is like the
stern lights Of ship. which illumes
only the track It has passed.
No man ever regretted that he was
virtuous and honest In his youth. and
kept away from idle companions.
The world Is apt to COO in your ear
like dove when you are rich, but If
you happen tobe poor it kicks like q
mule.
Seclusion is not conquest; it is cru
ciaxion. Strong character. like stsong

" BRING MYRTLE"


Colonel HaIdane. commandment Of
Newly, on his return from parade.
a.e was unmarried, rich and rather
MISUNDERSTANDING. It will there
fore surprise no one that he was accus-
toned to receive great many sweetly-
scented, Acknowledgements, pref
tily-woried letters from the various
members of the fair sex with whom he
was acquainted. Among the little
heap which lay before him was one
conspicuous for its careless handwrit-
ing and rough envelope. Oddly
enough. this was the one he selected
first for perusal. Scrawled on the lip
Of the envelope were these words:
Bring Myrtle"
Colonel Haldane put up his gentle
manly eye-glass, and held his head a
little on one side; he twisted his iron
gray moustache into a yet more
poignant expression as lie inspected
those curious words: "Brissg Myrtle. !"
Who was Myrtlep What was Myrtlep
How many times he read and re-read
that message he was perhaps unaware.
But it was useless. Bring Myrtle"
remained on the lip of the envelope, an
unsolved enigma
Slowly he opened the letter. 1t was
an invitation to afternoon tea at the
Whites people he knew slightly. as
he knew SO many in the heavily-garri-
soned naval and military town close to
the barracks at Newly.
The letter was from Miss Florence
White, who wrote ID her mothers
name.
He called up a vision of Florence
White Tall and stately, girl with a
mass Of golden brown hair, rolled off
her forehead; girl he had greatly adj
mired, a. one admiFes a serene and
lovely landscape; girl who made him
feel provokIngly 'fogyish." Other
young ladies ratified away at him, as if
be were sub. asked him to play tennis
with them. and treated him like mere
youngster. But this young lady had
placed him, with due regard to his
complexion. in shadowy corner of the
drawing room on one or two occasions
when he had taken .'tea" there, and
had introduced him Co some deep-toned
matrons, rs il in that direction lay his
natural bias. and now this stately
young lady sends him the jocular
postscript bidding him Bring Myrtlel''
Colonel Haldane sat down in the
comfortable red velvet chair which
faced the parade-ground. and COM
manded fne view or the ever-com-
panionable sea The little ripping
waves had an expression of infant
smiles to-day. and the buoyant clouds
were chasing one another like school
boys on common. How innocent
and fair was the world Of nature! He
sat dreaming over his problem Bring
Myrtle quite happily.
A knock with the knob Of stick on
the door breaks into his reflections, and
Captain Hilton enters with his Gus
tomarY off-parade familiarity.
-Well. old fellow, what's up? Sea
and sentiment. eh2 It's fatal to sit ii

The Republican Leader of the House.

Washington Correspondence n. Y. World.
Reed is one of the ablest and most adroit
men on the Republican side. He is tall,
broad-shouldered, deep-chested and rotund.
He has a large head, nearly bald. He is
very fair in complexion. His round, white,
baby-colored face is double-chinned and
smooth-shaven, with the exception of small
brown mustache, which curls in towards a
sneering mouth under a saucy, defiant pug
nose. His forehead is high and tapering.
His eyes are keen blue-gray. His friends
hatter him by pointing out the resemblance
of his face to the mask Of Shakespeare. He
has very rich vocabulary Of expression and
is nearly as satirieal and as sarcastic DIS was
Roscoe Conkling. He has a very funny down.
east drawl and twaug in his voice. This
style rather adds to than detracts from his
character US public speaker. Tne drawl and
twang seem to be proper accom- panimrnts
Of his rude wit and brusque satire. He is
one OF the dangerous men VINO study AMI
think, although he is nearly as fat as Falstaff.
When ne is out OF the house he is at home
with his books. There is no man who reads
more upon the authorities relating to public
questions than Mr.. Reed. Tne result is that
he is always well equipped with accurate
knowledge. This storenoust of information,
backed by his nimble sarcastic tor que, makes
him Il most formidable adversary. H. is by
all odds tie strongest man on tine Republican
side. Iu the general run of debate he finds
few on the other side who can do more than
hold their own with him.
