WORDS THAT STAIN.

"a small brush of camel's hair had been
dipped into a fluid in which was some nj
trate of silver. ''caustic,' as it is some
times called. The brush was wiped upon
a white sheet. Pretty soon there appeared
a black stain upon a white surface. 1t did
not look very dark at first, but the action
of the light seemed to deepen the color I'M
til it was an ugly spot that could not be
washed out nor bleached Mut in a whole
summers sunshine.
A bright boy heard a vile word and an M
pure story. He thought them over. They
became fixed in his memory, and they left a
stain which could not be washed out by all
the waters of this great round earth.
Do not allow yourself To think of vile
'smutty'' stories, or unolean words.
There are persons who seem to take an
evil delight in repeating such things. And
those who willingly listen To them receive
a stain upon their memory. To give ear
to filthy takers is To share in their sin.
Don't lend your ears to be filled and de
filed with shameful words and vile stories.
In these days of evil speech and bad
books, it is our duty to take care what we
listen to and what we read. A bad story
smirehes and defiles the heart, pollutes the
memory and infames the fancy.
Shun these things as you would poison
Gus vipers. Draw back from hearing them
as YOU would from the ''cancerouS kisses
of the crocodiles seen in DeQuincy's opium
dream. II by chance, You nave heard any
obscene words or vile stories, drive them
from yourthoughts, as you would the black
winged bats from your face at night. Ask
God to help you. Think of the true things
He has said, and study the pnre and beau
tiful things He has made.-Er.

THE HACkMEN's TRICK.

Glow do YOU manage to keep up the re-
pairs on your hack when business is so
dull?'' was asked Of a hackman who was
met in front of a earriage-Shop the other
day, where he was having a new spring put
in his vehicle.
'sOh that's easy enough; we don't have
to foot any of the bills ~langhingly re-
sponded the .Jehu. ''I1l tell You, but you
mustn't give it away. You see, if we meet
with an accident any time during the night
we pick our way along until we come to a
new building in process of erection. GEN
orally in cases of this kind the contractor
has the street strewn with material and a
red light ont. Well we send some
aheadtob blow out thelighr, andthen We drive
right in the midst of the stuff, whatever it
may be. We begin to curse and swear un-
til an officer or some passer-by is attracted,
and then we explain that we have damaged
our vehicle, and ask for their names and
address as witnesses. The scheme works
like a charm, and when we present our bills
to the contractor, we never fail to get our
money. Why, the contractor who built
the Union depot was a mark for the hack
man, and | know at least five broken hacks
he has paid TO have repaired that were
broken squares away from the depot.

ONE TEACHERS EXPERIENCE.

An Ohio school teacher went over to a
country district in Indiana to engraft a lit

that vicinity, and one of the school trus-

he knew the trustee well enough to speak
to him about it.

THOUGHTFUL SAYINGS.

A good cause makes a stout heart and a
strong arm.
Sense and Judgment are more desirable
than loneliness.
The mouth of gossip, like a drug store,
is open at all hours.
Without earnestness no man is ever great
or really does great things.
The best backing a young man can have
is a good backbone Of his WI
If man be gracious and courteous to
strangers, it shows that he is a citizen of
the world.
A great name is like. an eternal epitaph
engraved by the admiration of men on the
road of time.
1t is not the number of facts he knows
but how much of a fact he is himself that
proves the man.
| have lived to know that the secret of
happiness is never to allow your energies
to stagnate.
Truth-the open, bold, honest TRUTHS
always the safest for any one, in any and
all circumstances.
Opportunities are very sensitive things.
If you slight them on their first visit, they
seldom come again.
Genius is only entitled to respect when it
promotes the peace and improves the hap
piness of mankind.
1t is easy to find a lover and retain a
friend; what is difficult is to find the friend
and to retain the lover.
Our character is but the stamp ON our
souls of the free choice of good and evil we
have made through life.
True bravery is shown by performing
without witness what one might be capa-
BILE of doing before all the world.
Friendship is a sturdy plant, a sweet herb
and savory; but when it touches the purse
strings somehow it shrivels.
There is no trait more valuable than a
thing is to be accomplished.
Insult moi misery, neither deride infirm-
ity nor ridicule deformity; the first shows
inhumanity, the second folly, and the third
pride.
Why should every one try to make his
own company as agreeable and valuable
as possible? Because it is company he can
never avoid.

PARODY OF THE THREE
MEN-HISC CLEVER SCHEME.

Three fishermen went gaily outintothe North
Out into the North ere the sun was high,
And they chuckled with glee as they sailed
forth,
Resolved to capture a trout-or die.
For men will fish and men will lie,
About the trout they caught on the fly
Their sunday-school lessons scorning.
Three fishers lay under the trees at noon,
And "blamed't the whole of the finny race;
For never a nibble had touched fly or spoon,
And each sighed as he wet the hole in his
face
For men will fish and men win lie,
And the way they caught trout when no.
body's nigh
Is something to tell-in the morning.
Three fishermen came into town at night,
And their "~speckled beauties were fair to
see;
They talked of their sports with keen de-
light
The envy of all the fraternity,
But men will fish and men will lie,
And what they can't catch they're sure to
buy,
And never repent in the morning.

THE COMPLAINT OF GLASS MEN.

The National Association of Window
Glass Manufacturers lately in session in
Washington exhibited a good deal of ner-
vousness at the increase of importations OF
foreign glass. The average annual con-
sumption of window-glass in this country,
native and foreign. for the last seven years
was two million seven hundred thousand
boxes. The average annual imports for a
period of fifteen years have been seven hun
dred thousand boxes, indicating an average
annual consumption of American glass of
two million boxes. During the last W
years the imports ran up, however, TO one
million and a quarter of boxes each year.
The demand for native glass did not fall offs
the increased building operations of the
country requiring the usual amount and
allowing the absorption OF the increased
imports besides. As the capacity of the
glass works of the country is fully equal to
the supply of the entire demand, any plan
that would enable the home manufacturers
to secure the Whole trade would be of great
advantage.
The manufacturers themselves were dis
posed to take the view that a material re-
duction in wages was the only way to check
imports. Perhaps the production of the
better qualities of glass would do more to
remedy the evil complained of than the
manufacturers are disposed to admit.
There are a few American snobs, of course.
who would buy imported glass for the mere
name of the thing if it was not half as
good as the homemade article. There is,
however, an increased demand for the best
qualities of window-glass for building pur-
poses. This demand is likely to increase to
a much greater extent IN than at present.
The majority of the builders do not care a
picayune whether the glass is imported or
native. so long as it comes up to the stand
f~acturers can produce the best quality of
p~late-glass, such as is in demand for mod
ern building purposes, they will find the
home market open to them.
They should be able TO do this if they
turn their attention to it in earnest. Ameri-
can material is cheap in price and excellent
in quality, so much SO that American sand
is exported for the use of European glass
manufacture. If instead Of complaining
of the low tariff and the high wages a spec
ial effort were to be made TO produce a first
class article, imports would diminish just
in proportion to the increase in quality to
the American product. Yankee ingenuity
should be equal to the task of exeelling in
glass-making as well as in making loeomo-
tiyes, sewing machines or grain reapers.
