A Fair PrOnnsitiOn.

One of the Woodworking guild of lee
turers some years ago replied to So
licitation of this kind by asking the
chairman of the committee what bust
ness he pursued. 81 am a dealer in
iewelry," was the reply. "Well, Mr..
Chairman" said the lecturer, {" / am
very much interested in little society
like yours in my own town; now let us
my business for one evening for your
society if you will give me those of your
business for one day for the benefit of
my society" The good chairman stared
and smiled. The lecturer continued:
Have you applied to our friend, Mr..
Sheepskin, the Attorney" "No; what
for?" asked the chairman. "Why, TO
aid your society by contributing days
fees?' The chairman smiled and
looked puzzled. "What l mean,o said
the lecturer, is simply that there is
no more reason why you should ask me
to give you the entire profit of my bust
ness for certain time than to ask any,
body else to do the same thing. The
fact that am lecturer is not a reason
that you should make the application
to me rather than to a lawyer, or mer-
chant, or an artist. Do you ask Mr..
Booth to bestow his receipts for next
Saturday upon your society because
your society is poor and wants money
to buy carpets and cushions? Do you
ask the proprietor Of the Herald or
Times to drop into your treasury all the
money that they may receive for adver-
tisements and sales on the first day of
June? Do you ask Mr.. Choate to hand
you over his professional income, as
nearly as he can compute it, for Mon
day, the ODD? To ask me for money
is one thing; but to ask for blank
check with my signature is quite
another" The lecturer smiled as be-
nignantly as the chairman, but did not
look in the least degree puzzled. "Ohl"
said the chairman. Precisely" re-
turned the lecturer.-Hdrper'S.

An Institution that is Consistent.

1t is not a difficult thing for man of
a quick conscience to act in accordance
with it, if he has little tact. Dr.
Campbell, the famous head of the Blind
Asylum in London, had recently oc-
casion to illustrate this truth. The
Prince of Wales was about to visit the
institution. Some of the directors, in
anticipation of the visit, said to him,
" You will have to lay aside your
American prejudices, doctor, on this
occasion, and furnish your guests with
wine" The doctor endeavored to ex-
cuse himself cit won't do" was the
reply. 1.-THE prince would think him
self insulted if he came here and no
wine was offered him." The doctor
made no further argument; but when
the prince arrived he introduced the
subject himself. l am aware, your
highness," he said, " that it is usual to
have wine provided on such an occasion
as this; but it is against my principles
and those of our institution. l can
only offer you the best tea and coffee |
could obtain" The prince not only
thanked him at the time for his con-
sistent adherence to his principles, but
is reported as saying everywhere in
London society, 81 am glad to know
that we have one institution in London
which is consistent, and will not lay
aside its principles even for prince. -

Patience i'm Adversely.

The impatient may find it helpful to
reflect that human misfortunes are but
parts of plan that will be completed
in the life that is after death. Now
we know in part" and our partial, i'm.
perfect knowledge leads to wrong iudg-
ments. 1t is as if the types of the
printer should cry out, just before the
contamination of the purpose for which
they were placed on the bed of the
press, " Why should we be struck with
mallets, smeared with ink, and then be
compelled to bear the weight of that
ponderous cylinder? OH the cruelty
of our fate!" Now the senseless types
have counterparts in the Christian
Church. The foolish are fretful and
complaining, the wise look beyond
the present and see with Paul, who was
himself troubled on every side but
not distressed" *** perplexed
but not in despair, prosecuted but not
forsaken; cast down but not de-
stroyed with him the wise discern
the spiritual truth that " our light
affection, which is but for a moment,
worketh for us far more exceeding
and eternal weight of glory, while we
look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not seem"
Further help may be derived from the
contemplation of the thought that it
may be Gods purpose to override for
good the misfortunes that result from
sin and from the sinless errors of hui
man Judgment God proffers constant
care and guidance; but he leaves us
with practical freedom to accept or
re iect the proffered mercies. If we
choose to reject his loving help, and
refuse to trust his perfect wisdom, we
cannot charge him with responsibility
for our sins and blunders; but we may,
with good reason, believe that out of
evil he can and will bring good. What
matters it though floods of trouble
threaten to overwhelm you? "God
reigns!" Bow to his wisdom; rely upon
his love. "Who is among you that
feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the
voice of darkness and hath no light?

A Man Who was in Earnest.

Seventy-fve years ago there was
poor clerk, living at Landport, in En-
gland. He had wife and two chill
dren the second was the boy, Charles,
and as soon as he was old enough he
had to do something for his own sup
port. Although he had an ordinary
day-school education as a little boy,
yet at ten years of age he was obliged
to go to work in the employ of Lon
don backing mandatory, pasting la
bells on pots of backing, because his
father had become bankrupt and was
imprisoned for debt. The family had
become larger now and little Charles
had hard time, and was about as poor
and wretched little boy as you would
care to hear about. But after awhile
his father had a little money left him
enough to get out of prison and take a
position as reporter on paper-and
he then apprenticed Charles to law
yer, with whom the boy served long
enough to learn something of the hooks
and crooks of the professions; but there
was another kind of hooks and crooks
that he longed to become familiar with
he wanted to become a reporter, like
his father. So he bought book on Ste
biography and by hard, persistent study
iltted himself to be a reporter. He
then managed to get a position ON a
newspaper, where his work was so ac-
curate that he got ahead very fast
Then after all this hard work in prac-
tical direction, he ventured to blow on
the spark of genius which he believed
burned inside of him-that is, he
wrote some sketches of English life.
He was delighted to have them ac-
copied and printed in a magazine, I'M
der the signature of "Boz." These
sketches attracted some attention,
though they gave small evidence of his
wonderful talent. But the young man
knew this talent must be developed by
hard work, and that he was not afraid
of. Each successive thing he wrote
was better and better; and when he
wrote "Pickwick Papers" he set the
whole English-speaking world a-laugh-
ing, and his reputation and fortune
were made. Still he kept hard at work
trying to improve his style, until his
writing became part of the most re-
markable in the language, and in the
opinion of some critics his mastery of
English is next only to Shakespeare
This wonderful young man is remem-
bered to-day as Charles Dickens. Speak
ing of his own career, he says: 81
will only add to what 1 have already
written of my perseverance at this time
of my life, / know this to be the source
of my success. Some happy talent and
some fortunate opportunity may form
the two sides of the ladder on which
some men mount, but the rounds of
that ladder must be made of stuff to
stand wear and tear; and there is no
substitute for thorough-going, ardent
and sincere earnestness. l never could
have done what l have without habits
of punctuality, order and diligence
without the determination to concen-
trate myself on one object at a
time. Whatever have tried to do in
my life, have tried with all my heart
to do well; whatever have devoted
myself to, / have devoted myself to
completely. In great aims and small
| have always been thoroughly in ear
nest. "-Treasue Trore.

Trust.


What we call special providences are
only riffs in the cloud, through which
we see the shining of Gods constant
providence. For his own purposes the
Father covers our pathway with clouds
of trouble and uncertainty, and suffers
us to walk in darkness; but in order to
inspire our confidence in his tireless
care, to enable us more easily to walk
by faith, he sometimes parts the clouds
and pours a flood of light upon our way,
showing us that while it is strange,
dark way to us, it is the only one that
leads to green pastures and to living
waters. 1t is hard for half-hearted
Christian to reconcile the loss of loved
child, an affectionate brother, sister or
friend with the wisdom and goodness
of God. We have heard of a young
lady who became an atheist because of
her brothers death. 1t is evident that
her act, the remuneration of faith in
God, was irrational and reckless; but
she only carried out the thought and
the spirit of those who complain of the
providence of God. In the doctrine of
our Fathers constant providence, as in
a tomb whose seal should not be broken,
we ought to bury unbelief and anxious
care.-ETchdnge.

God Uses the Means.

God can use the feeblest instrument
for the accomplishment of his purpose.
When we engage in his service in our
own strength we are sure to fail, but
when we 90 forth in his name and trust
ing in his strength we are sure to sue
coed. 1t is not by human wisdom or
human power that spiritual victories
are won, but by the power and infu-
ence of the divine Spirit. He can en-
tighten the darkest mind; his touch can
soften the hardest heart; his voice can
penetrate the dullest ear. How often
has this fact been illustrated! Years
ago, in western city, Gods spirit was
poured out Many were awakened.
One of the ablest lawyers in the state,
and senator of the United States, at
tended some of the meetings and seemed
to be interested But he was so digni-
fled and reticent that no one had cour-
age to talk with him. His case was dis
cussed in little company of praying
men one night, and the anxious ques-
ton was, Who will go and press the
claims of the gospel upon him? One
after another refused to undertake the
difficult task. AT length a plain day
laborer, whom nobody thought of ask
ing, said, " Brethren, l will go. No
matter if he is as big as mountain,
and l am the least of all saints" He
went, and God made him the honored
instrument in leading that eminent man
to Christ. "Without me-" says Christ,
eye can do nothing" But through
Christ strengthening me-" joyfully ex-
claims the apostle, 81 can do all things"

some Feeling over the Slim Attendance
at the soldiers Concert.

The soldiers at Fort Russell and also
several OF the officers are considerably Of
Tended because of the slim attendance ut
the entertainment given by the soldiers ut
the Opera house in Cheyenne on Thurs
day evening, and it was stated yesterday
on what appeared to be pretty good au-
thority, that hereafter it will be absolutely
impossible to procure the services Of the
band in the city, no matter what the oc-
casion may be. This unfortunate state
Of feeling is to be regretted. and il is, cs-
pecially by the people of the city. The
difficulty, however, rs not one for which the
people OF Cheyenne are alone responsible.
Those who had the charge and control of
the entertainment did not take the wiscst
course TO make it known that an enter
tainment was to be given, for had they
done so our, citizens would have been
glad to patronize the boys" The affair
was advertised by means of bills distribute
ed here and there through the city, but
experience has taught years ago that
this mode of advertising is not sufficient,
in Cheyenne, at least. Not one out of
every fifty OF the people see the bills, aud
what is more, and hat is the case every.
where, not one in twenty of those who
do see the bills ever read them. For this
reason it is safe to say that not POO peo-
pie in Cheyenne knew of the fact that
there was to be an entertainment. and
but few of those who did, knew when it
was to take place. Ordinarily advertising
by bills is e%ffectual enough, but the peo-
pie of Cheyenne have become so accus-
toned to look for such things in our
papers that they never think of looking
for it anywhere else. Mr.. Luke Voor-
hees was interviewed by a LEADER rep
sentative yesterday on this subject and
he stated that he, as well as many Others
whom he might mention. were very sorry
that the affair had not been better pat
ronized, but attributed the failure to the
reason stated above. He suggested that
if a committee from the post had gone
around through the city with ticket, they
could easily, with a little advertising
through the papers, have sold two or
three hundred of them at least, as in his
opinion, nearly all of our business men
and Others would gladly patronize the
soldiers.
