home Is p0wsrf1. test ot character. The
disposition n public may be N gay COS
tune, while IN privars il is in deshabiIls.
AZ play actors may appear n one way On
the stage and may app@zr u another way
behind the scenes. - private character
may b. very different from public
character. Private charscte is Of
ten public character turned wrong
Ejde cut 4 nal nay receive yO1 into his

smiles, and ye: Liz hear. may x swamp
Of lsttles. There are business men who
al day long are mild and courteous and
genial and goo1-n4tGrei in commercial
life, dsmmlng back their irrltability ami
their petUlsnce ana their discontsnt but
a. nighIfall the Ham breaks and scolding
pours forth il foods and tresaets.
Reputation is only the shadow Of char
scter, and very small hou.s som stimss
viii cast very long shadow. The lips
may seem u drop win IuyrTh and cassia,
and the disposition y bs as bright and
warm as suabeams, and yet they may be
only a magnificent show window to a
wTetched stock Of goods. There lie many
man who ia shable in public life and amid
commercial spheres, who, il q cowardly
way, takes his anger and his petulanoe
home and drops them On the domestic
circle.
The reason men do not display their bad
temper in public is because they do not
wan, 70 be knocked down There are men
who hide their petuiancy and their ir-
ritablisy foE the same reason that they
do not LEI their notes go 70 pro-
tegt-it does not pay. Or for the
same reason that they do not want
q man in their stock company % sen his
stock al less than the right price, lest it
depreciate the value. As sometimes the
wind rises, 50 after a sunshiny day there
may be tempestuOls night. There are
people VINO in public at tue philanthro-

Audubon, the great ornith ologist, with
gun and pencil, went through the forests
Of America 70 bring down and % sketch
the beautiful birds, and after years Of toll
and exposure completed his manuscript
and put il IN trunk in Philadelphia for a
few days Of recreation and rest, and came
hack and found that the rats had utterly
6eg .royed the manuscript; but without
any discompOsure and without any fret
Or bad temper, he again picked up his gun
and pencil and visited again all the great
forests Of America and reproduced his i'm
mortal work. And yet there are people
with the ten thousandth part Of that loss
who are utterly unreconcilable, who, at
the loss Of pencil or an article of raiment,
