THE BEST WAY.

With the close of the year every
man should settle with everybody
he owes or with those who owe him.
ltshould not be a question so much
Of payment as of settlement. Yet
payment should always be promptly
made where it can be done; but if
it cannot be made, still the transac-
tons of the past year should be
settled and a note given for the
debt. In this way you will know
what you have to meet, and the
amount you have to meet it with.
1t is the neglect of this that COM
pels men to pay costs.
If men show the proper DISPOSE
ton to pay their debts, it will be a
hard-hearted man who will refuse to
grant favors. This determination
to do to others as you would have
them do to you, pays man a hun
dred per cent. in the estimation Of
his neighbors, and in saving costs.
When a man takes no interest in
the payment of his debts, he has a
hard road to travel, as it is dishon-
est to get the goods, property, or
money of another and then take no
interest in giving an equivalent for
them. The credit system is a be-
nevolent one, but the dishonesty
and disinterestedness of the bene-
fciaries of this humane accommOda-
ton drives the business and trading
world further from it every year,
The laws have been enacted in favor
of the poor, and seemingly these
laws have made many men dishon-
est, because they had the privilege
to fall back and say, You cannot
make it off me. There are men in
every community that will not pay
debt because of the protection
given them by the law. 1t is well
for the community to know these
men, that they may be made to see
and feel that these obligations must
be met. and as an evidence of this
Ito meet them.

OUT WEST.

BY papers from the Kansas capital we learn
that our old T. lend and fellow townsman, Will
liam NICK. Milligan, is a member of the Legisla-
ture that will set in that city this winter. Mr..
Millgan left Greencastle less than two years ago
to find q new home in Kansas, locating at Green's
burg. Edwards county, from which point his
friends haye received occasional reports Of his
success in the law. His election by his fellow
citizens to represent them in their Legislative
halls is just recognition of true merit and
ability that will not permit their interests to
lag.-Greencastle Qndiana) Times.
Mr.. Milligan was special friend
of ours and was at Greencastle
when we left that young city. The
TINES is pleased to congratulate
him on his success. He is worthy
of the honor. Such acts out West
are common. Men who go there
are welcomed, and are not denounc-
ed as carpet-baggers; and it is why
young men prefer going West, as
they are received as on an equality
with such as their conduct mer-
its, without reference from what
State they hail. If the South could
receive good men as equals, from
the West, North, or East, it would
have much to do in restoring fra
ternity of feelings, and be the open
ing of an era of good times.

President Cleveland rushes to the
defense of a trifling whelp by the
name of Cutting, who has been ex-
citing the people of Texas against
Mexico; and while in Mexico he
was arrested for this work of his
and came near involving the gov
eminent in a war with our neigh
bors of the Southwest. There are
foreigners coming into this country
who are organizing themselves into
bands to defeat the ends of law,
order and justice but Mr.. Cleve-
land does not even notice their
transactions. They have factories
where they make instruments Of
death, to destroy men and officers
who favor law and order. Would i,
not be well for Mr.. Cleveland to de.
fend his own people against the
anarchists of the Old World. who
come here and commit murder?

THE CHRISTMAS ROSE.

A little way up one Of the Rhmtian Alps,
beneath the shade of an old black pine, grew
Christmas rose.* The summer had passed.
and the short days had come, when the wind
blown and the snow flies, and the hardy little
mountain rose had two buds Dear me-"
fretted the rose, " wish ! could blossom
when other plants do. There would be some
pleasure in displaying oneself for the dainty
blue gentian or the pretty eyebright, but
with no one to admire me- see no use in
blooming at all"
"Ho! hol" laughed the old pine, waving his
shaggy arms, "Hol no! what little grum-
bier. The snow and will admire you. You
are named after the blessed Christ child, and
ought to be happy and contented. Push up
through the deepening snow, little friend,
and expand your buds into perfect blossoms;
we were all made for wise purpose, and we
shall know what it is when the time comes
if"-
Just then the north wind blew so hard the
old pine was quite out Of breath, and for
some reason he never renewed the converse
ton.
"All the world Is dead except the pine and
me-" murmured the rose, "snd perhaps l had
better follow his advice II l was made for
q wise purpose shall not be forgotten" 30
she took good care of her beautiful buds, and
the day before Christmas the black pine saw
her blossoms, white and perfect, peering up
through the white snow.
Now, the two little children of Klotz the
wood cutter, were nearly heartbroken, for
their mother was sick. and that morning the
kind neighbor who had watched by her side
through the night had said, "God pity this
home; fear your mother will die before
night" Their father sat by the fireplace,
speeches. with grief. and answered them
neither by word nor look when they crept up
to him for comfort 30 at last they stole out
Of the door, and, hand in hand, wandered a
short way up the mountain side, following
the forester's tracks till they came in sight OF
the old black pine.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

Mr.. Cleveland still advocates,
slightly, his civil service humbug.
The TIMES favors the repeal of the
laws which lead officials to such dis
honest tricks as the present admin
istration has been guilty of. If civil
service reform means anything, a
President cannot enquire what the
politics of officials is, or that it shall
have anything to do in appoint
ments to office. The question as to
who shall hold a certain class Of
Offices is determined by civil serv-
ice commission, which is to be non
partisan, their recommendations to
be governed by competitive exami-
nations. This system would, il
carried out, with one amendment,
suit the TIMES. That amendment
should be the fixing of the terms Of
service, beyond which no one could
hold the office.
Our opposition to the present
civil service has been founded on
the idea of holding Office during
good behavior. This doctrine is
not in accordance with the Ameri-
can idea of freedom; besides, it OPP.
crates against the doctrine of equal.
ty of all men before the law. The
result of competitive examinations
we would favor, if it were alone ex.
tended to men of non-experience,
in the Office sought. This, then
would be the true American idea
and the only one the TIMES would
endorse.

President Cleveland discussed
every question you could think of,
except three of the most important
questions which interest the people:
the general education of the people,
the temperance question, and the
organization of certain foreign ele.
ments, whose objects are the de-
struction of the laws of this coun.
try and the defeat of public justice
and the high order of freedom as
guaranteed under the laws.

Mr.. Cleveland takes his stand
with the gold gamblers of Wall
Street, N. u, against the coinage
of silver, and indicates that the
silver dollar should be regulated in
its value by the price of Bullion.
This would make it an article like
wheat, corn, pork, iron, &C., in the
markets, just what the gold bugs
want,

We noticed some confusion at the
church the other night by the put
ting on Of several OvercOats during
the singing of the doxology. Boys,
could you not wait minute long

self, give at least a patient ear to
this most solemn part of the service.

III all the mothers in the world were dying
that hard old pine would not care" said tho
boy, bitterly. "Lst u 60 back into the val
ley, sister; there We viii find good people,
with kind hearts, while here there Is no one
to care for U.s."
"There Is ono who cares for US even here"
cried the sister, spying the Christmas roses,
and in moment she had scraped away the
snow and plucked them. ave had forgotten
the Christ child, and that tomorrow is His
birthday. Let US take the roses tn the
church, and there pray that our mothers life
may be spared"
So they FASTENED down tho mountain to the
village church, where they found the good
pastor busy trimming the altar for the Christ
mas festival. He took the flowers and put
them, with some feathery moss, into tan
white vase. Then he knelt with the children
and prayed for their mothers life, and the
roses nodding on their stems smiled as though
the gift asked for were already granted.
When they returned home their father met
them at the door and exclaimed joyfully,
1.-THE fever has turned and your mother Il
better. Thank God"
The Christmas rose had fulfilled its destiny.
All, me! the black pine was right We were
all made for a, wise purpose, and we shall
learn what it Is In Gods own good time.
sThe Christmas rose Is not a rose. it belongs to
the family Hellebore, black Hellebore, so called
from the color Of its roots. Its large white
flowers sre produced In winter, and 1t grows only
in cold climates. The flowers are white or tinged

of a good widow. She being informed
that l was q preacl er, invited or call

an easy lesson in the scripture and
reading it in my clearest accent, |
offered short prayer. There is always
q solemn interval between family
prayer and the resumption of converse
ton During this interesting interval
my good sister thought she ought to
say something bordering on religion,
therefore began as follows:

forgot Isaac; and Isaac forgot Jacob;
and Jacob forgot Judas and his breth-

Dog Dignity.


Sir Walter Scott declared that he
could believe anything Of dogs. He
was very fond of them, studied their
idiosyncracies. wrote much in their
praise, and told many stories of their
strange habits. Once, he said, he de-
sired An old pointer ofgreat experience,
prodigious fayorite, and steady in
the field as rock. to accompany his
friend Daniel Terry, then on visit to
Abbotsford, and who concluded to 60
on sporting excursion. The dog
wagged his tail in token Of pleased
obedience, shook out his ears, led the
way with q confident air. and began
ranging about with most scientific pre-
cision. Suddenly he pointed. and up
sprung numerous cOvev. Terry,
bent on slaughter. fired both barrels at
once, aiming in the centre of the Convey,
and missed. The dog turned round in
utter establishment, wondering who
could be behind him, and looked Terry
full in the face. but. after y pause,
shook himself again and went to work
as before.
A second steady point and second
fusilade followed, but with no effect.
The dog then wheeled about and
trotted home at his leisure, leaving
the would be-sportsman to find fol
himself the rest of the day. Sir Wal
ter was fond of repeating the anecdote
and always declared that it was true,
while Terry never said more in contra
diction than that lit was good story
