MRs. TEMPLE REvIEws HER CONDUCT.

MRS. TEMPLE REVIEWS HER CONDUCT.
The labors of the day were over. The
whole assault had been planned In her bed
room Mrs. Barbara Temple sat like general
in his tent the night before the battle. She
was reviewing her forces, measuring their
strength, settling the order in which they
should advance
"It is important, however Sophia may af-
feet to despise it, that Prendergast's wealth,
and what it will do for her. should be put be-
fore her fairly. l can trust Sibyl for that;
no one would manage it better than Sibyl."
She paused as her first company passed
mentally before her to the battle The ar
ray satisfied her. Then she fixed on the next
"Duty-obedience. Sophia has always
laid great stress on these, and not in affecta-
ton either. o, no, she means what she says.
Well, think when Goldmore talks to her
sabout parents authority think it will
Imove her"
And so the second company marched past
under the generals approving eyes, Num-
ber three came in view.
"Her affection for me is genuine. Dear
girl" the little mother said, with a warming
of her heart, "she does love mel Well, what
theni love her, and am doing the best for
her. When Caroline tells her that this mar
riage will satisfy me and make me happy,
believe she will yield. And Car will do that
for me, and do it effectively Oh, yes; trust
Car"
And so company three went by, and was
approved. Which was number fourq Yes,
she remembered.
al wonder will Mr.. Brent bear in mind
what told him9 think l shall drop him
line to refresh his memory and to bind him to
secrecy. If he manages well he might &C
complish more than any; but he may blunder
may, he is the sort of man who will blunder
III he can"
And so, warned by little frown from the
commander, company four went by. Com
pany flve-Oh, well she knew it; with this
she was TO conquer.
"Prentargast-- Prendergast he is my main
stay after all. O. yes; he will touch Sophia
at the very heart. And he win say all wish.
There is one thing about these serious people:
they are hBlf deceiYiun themselves and half

deceiving others, and so they assume a most
valuable appearance of earnestness Now,
could not, to save my life, pretend to be in
terested in being useful; but l suppose
should be more telling in serious society if
could. Prendergast will sernonize about op-
portunity and duty, and Sophia will listen,
just as she listens at church-I can see her
now-and the woman who listens to a suitor
like Prendergast is-marriedp
And so the whole army was reviewed; the
forces were irresistible; stroke after stroke,
Sophia would be conquered at last
"And now let me see," the little mother
continued, throwing herself back in her chair
as she pondered her own responsibility in the
transaction. "I am a worldly woman; I am
making a match for my daughter which is
worldly wise-nothing more and nothing
less; am doing all I fairly can to urge her
to this marriage, pressing her on by every
means in my power. Well, am wrongl
Why, even on the showing of good people or
romantic people am marrying her to a man
who is in every way likely to make her happy,
although she may not yet acknowledge it.
He is good upright and kind And then on
my showing l am giving her position in so
ciety, snatching her from mistaken engage
ment, from years of waiting which are sure
to end in solitary disappointment or in wed.

life well carpeted, well cushioned, well fur
nished, well dressed and my head for it if in
ten years time they are not the first to say to
the old mother; You were right after all
Yes, the good people talk about doing right
and not pleasing yourself; do right-and
please myself, too Sophy, Sophy, tomorrow
night you will be engaged to Prendergast.
shall have done it; l have done it already
And if you drop few romantic tears-why,
tears are soon wiped off; but wealth. fortune,
position-these remain from day to day, and
from year to year, 0"d these make life, let
saints and poets say what they please"
So having settled matters with her con.
science in this frank and fearless way, our
little mother laid her down to sleep; and she
slept that light, semi-conscious slumber COM
mon with those who know that upon the COM
ing day great triumph shall be theirs.

Rheumatism

1t Is an established fact that Hoods Sar-

a Testimonial for Gladstone.

The gallant fight which the great
English statesman. William E. Glad
stone, has made and is still making for
Justice to Ireland entities that distin-
guiShed leader to the thanks and the
sympathy of all lovers of liberty the
world over. The people of the United
States are especially indebted to Mr..
Gladstone, regardless of party, race or
religion, for the struggle he is engaged
in envolves the principles upon which
Out Republic is maintained and upon
which it can alone be perpetuated.
1t has been suggested that testi-
monial should be sent to MF. Gladstone
froa1 the people of this country TO coa-
vey 10 him some idea of the warm es-
TEEN i'll whiek he is held here. The
New York World is raising testimOn-
iaI fund, and to its readers it says:
''We have sent thousands of dollars
to England TO aid the canse which he
represents, and AoW how beftting it
would be to send to hinl personally
some token of gratitude and the adni-
ration Of the American people. Mr..
Gladstone is an old man. He can not
live haaGy years. To him testimonial
from the Lad Of Liberty would be es-
pecialiy grateful n9W. 1t would cheer
him in his approaching 'satttllee, Itwould
be something for Eim TO TRANSMIT to
his defendants.
Contributions should be limited to
small sums, f0r the more popular the
testimonial can be made the more salts
factory it will assuredly be to the recip-
lent. The World will start the list
with contribution of 800 and will re-
ceive and acknowledge all sums intrust-
ed to its care.
1t is proposed in Dublin to raise
shilling subscription for a Gladstone
Statue In College Green. Let us have
twenty-five cent contribution here for
Gladstone Testimonial.

The Morrison Resolution.

1t is pleasant to find in the editorial
columns of so conservative a journal as
the Boston Herald so intelligent an arti-
Gle as the following:
"a mercantile correspondent. who.
naturally enough, has had his fears ey-
cited by the Morrison resolution for the
reduction OF the treasury surplus, asks
what can be done to avert the dread
blow. He is especially impressed by
Mr.. Hewitt'S declaration that four
months after the passage of the resolu-
ton the country will be brought back
to deranged condition of the currency:
that gold will be Withdrawn from circa-
latiOn, and that the moment this occurs
millions of men will lose their daily
employment.
I'VE assure our correspondent that he
can safely lay his fears aside. We have
the highest respect for Mr.. Hewitt's
opinion on financial questions. But in
this matter the New York Congressman
has permitted his anxiety for the preser-
walton of sound currency to lead him
into unreasonable apprehensions. The
Morrison resolution is a scare crow
whose terrorS will be dissipated at a
touch if the country ever actually gets
in contact with the DOGGY. 1t GOES
somewhat further in the curtailment of
the Treasury balance than our Judge
ment approves. But, if the resolution
were in full operation to-day, nav if the
reduction had been carried out to the
minimum limit set by its provisions. we
cannot see that the currency would be
affected in any degree. Mr.. Morrison
proposes to reduce the Treasury balance
to about S100, OO0, 900. including the un-
available funds. That provision is only
some less than the balance which was
generally maintained under the Repub-
licau management of the Treasury be-
fore Secretary McCulloch in his last
terha suspended the calls for bonds"
The Republican money-baggers, mon
opolists, bOodlers, would have US believe
that, if this resolution passes, the finan-
cial world is coming to an end. 1t will
greatly contribute TO bringing to an end
their opportunity of stealing from the
public crib; and that is what the
country most desires. Let the good
work go on.
