Gems for Thought.

The cream of experience is skinned
from spilled milk.
Actions are measures of worth, not
professions
One of the sublinest things in this
world is plain truth.
Peoples intention can only be decid-
ed by their conduct.
The size Of a man has nothing to do
with the lie he can tell.
Preferred creditors are those who do
not dun their debtors.
The more one pays for printers ink
the greater are his gains.
He who would avoid sin must not
stand at The door of temptation.
Truth does not consist in minute ac-
curacy of detail but il conveying II
right impression.
How'can we expect to know our
nelghbors character, when he doesn't
seem to know it himself?
The idle should not be classed among
the living; they are sort of dead men
that can't be buried.
Every tomorrow has two handles.--
We can take | old of it by the handle Of
anxiety or the handle of faith.
lndolence is sort of suicide: for
the man is efficiently destroyed, though
the appetite Of the brute may sur
vive.
Like a beautiful flower, full of color,
but without scent, are the fine but
frulItess words of HIM who does not act
accordingly.
TO be free minded and cheerfully
disposed at hours Of meat and sleep
and of exercise, is one Of the best pre-
cepts of long lasting.
TO endeavor to move by the same
discourse hearers who differ in age,
sex, position and education is to at
tempt to open all locks with the same
key.
Our great want in social life is deep
and wide sympathy. This it is which
enables us to see with another's
vision, and to appreciate anothcr's in
stincts.
A good man is the best friend, and
therefore is first to be chosen, longest
to be retained, and indeed never to be
parted with, unless he ceases to be that
for which he was chosen.

MechancJoun Frederick County, Maryland Thursday Dec g. 1885,

His boat was soon down with good
oarsmen IN it-with Mrs. Rowland
full of wild anxious hope in the stern
sheets.
Nearer to that distant speck drew
the boat.
"Thcre he is!!'' cried the watchful
captain, at last. II think believe
but l am not certain-he-yes, yes,
thank God, he has the child"
Yes, there was the convict IN the
water, holding up the child that the
mother might see it.
Such scream of joy as burst from
that mothers lips it would have done
you COOL to hear.
A few minutes later Grace nestled
on her bosom, weak and faint but
showing signs of rapid recovery as the
happy woman strained her to her
breast, showering kiss after kiss upon
her face.
Almost exhausted to unconscious
ness, Mark Mold lay in the bottom Of
the boat, scarcely hearing the mother
hardly feeling the pressure of her
lips upon his hands-when, at length,
she turned to him warmly expressing
her gratitude.
Now she recogn lzed the truth Of the
saying that the worst person is not
without some good trait, and very glad
she was that she had not succeeded in
having the convicts removed from the
ship when she first discovered thew
were aboard. Of course, had they
been taken away, Mark Mold would
have gone with them and her child
would have been lost.
On arriving at Port Jackson, Mrs.
Rowland related to her husband, the
colonel, the gallant conduct of Mark
Mold who, there fer, was constantly
befriendel, during his hard prison life,
by the grateful officer.
This kind treatment, the first he
had ever received from human being
since he becam. an outlaw, had u soft
ening effect on Marks character, and
he conducted himself so we'll that the
colonel at length succeeded in obtain =
ing for him commutation Of his pen
atty, which had been for twenty yerrs,
to half that time.
When at last the prisoner was dis
charged, the colonel procured him em-
ployment, and the liberated convict
became steady, honest man.

They always had pleasant word

permitting such freedom on the part of

that the crew cid not fare as sump-
touslv as the passengers, Grace, instead
of eating her piece of poundcake at the

The republican leaders feel that care must be
taken with the mort Invest or the party strength
In that region Will be dangerously impaired OF
late years a low-tariff democratic tendency has
developed that threatens to throw two or three
of the lake states into the democratic column.
So hopeful have some of the lOw-tarif leaders
become of accessions to their views in this
quarter that they seriously discussing the
expediency of abandoning the east to protec-
tion and seeking to recoup their loss in western
states which at one time were the very strong
bold of republicanism-
To meet these tendencies the republican
leaders are anxious to promote party beliefs
and party discipline by bringing to the thick
of the fight the heaviest forces they can COM
mand- Hence, now that an important cam
paign is about opening, the Michigan republic
cans awaited themselves OF Wtshington's birth
day yesterday to get before the people a supply
OF first-class orthodox republican doctrine. Mr..
Evarts was the principal figure, in the absence
OF Mr.. Blaine, who had been invited, but vino
AT the last moment, decided not to be present.
The New York senator spared not the democ-
racy, and insisted that republican success in
1888 was as necessary as ii was in $50.
In this connection il may be noted that if the
democrats wish to make love to the northwest
they have been very impolitic in resisting the
admission of Dakota. That territory has been
settled largely by citizens of Minnesota, Iowa.
Michigan and other neighborng states and
their business as well as personal interests
are intimate one with another. 1t will be
counted against the democracy in the states
just named that that party has INSTRUCTED the
development Of the northwest by its refusal to
grant the just claims of Dakota. And particu-
larry will this feeling prevail in view of the
fact that this opposition movement has been
led by southern Senators, thus reviving the sec
tional jealousies OF Kansas times. If the demo-
cratic propagandiSts who cOvet the lake STATES
are wise they will cater to the home interests
of those states, well as lay before them invit-
ting prospects of cheap foreign trade.
The Detroit demonstration is only one of sew
eral indications that the prelminaries in the
next presidential campaign have now openly
