What Is SANDER!

What words will so touch man in
his office, profession, or trade depend
very much upon the position of the
man. Thus it is not necessarily, nor,
indeed, generally, slanderous to call a
man rogue, a cheat or swlndler, for
there are many trades, and perhaps
some professions, in which man may
be thoroughly successful and yet O
cheat and impostor. This curious rea-
son for the immunity of such express
sions when spoken is not, as one might
suppose, a mere humorous suggestion,
for it has been gravely held that it is
not SANDER to call successful trades
man an internal rogue" and for an
alogous reasons it is not libelous to call
a newspaper "the most vulgar, ignorant
and scurrilous journal ever published, {"
since that, 1T is assumed, not without
some reason, will not necessarily di-
minish it's circulation. To say of q
trader that he is insolvent, or of pro-
fessional man that he is wanting in skill,
is of course a SANDER; but to impute to
either immortality would not, unless it
could be shown that such imputation
caused pecuniary loss. The words must
impeach mans professional skill or
official conduct. Thus it is O SANDER to
say lawyer knows no more law than
cow" but you may call Justice of
the Peace fool, ass, or blockhead,
with impunity, for no special ability is
expected from Justice of the Peace,
and such words do not impeach his in
tegrity or impute corruption.-For-
ensic Facts and Fdllacies.

Life ut Rome in st. Pauls Day.

The condition of the lower classes
rendered them more hopeful subjects
for the enrolling influences of the faith
of Christ. 1t is true that they also
lived in the midst of denominations.
But to them vice stood forth in all its
bare and revolving hideousness, and
there was no wealth to gild its anguish
ing reactions. Life and its temptations
wore very different aspect to the mas
ter who could lord it over the souls
and bodies of O thousand helpless
minions, and to the wretched slave who
was the victim of his caprice and tyr
amy. AS in every city where the slaves
far outnumbered the free population,
they had to be kept in subsection by
laws of terrible severity. 1t is no won
der that In writing to church of which
so many members were in this sad con-
dition, st. Paul thought it necessary
to warn them of the duty of obedience
and honor toward the powers that be.
The house of wealthy Roman con-
tanned slaves of. every rank, of every
nation, and of every accomplishment,
who could be numbered, not by scores,
but by hundreds. The master might
kill or torture his slaves with impunity /;
but if one of them, goaded to passion
ate revenge by intolerable wrong, vent
ured to raise hand against his owner,
the whole family, with their wives and
children, however innocent, were put
to death. The Roman lady looked
lovely at the banquet, but the slave
girl who arranged curl wrong had al
ready been branded with hot iron.
The triclinia of banquet might CLEAN
with jeweled and myrrhine cups, but if
slave did but drop by accident one
crystal vase he might be flung, then
and there, to feed the lampreys in his
masters fish pond The senator and
the knight might loll upon cushions in
the amphitheater, and look on luxur-
iously at the mad struggles of the gladi-
ators; but to the gladiator this meant
the endurance of all the detestable
savagery of the lanista, and the taking
of a horrible oath that, "like a genuine
gladiator" he would allow himself to
be bound, burned, beaten, or killed at
his owners will. There were, doubt
less, many kind masters at Rome; but
the system of slavery was in itself ire
deemably degrading, and we cannot
wonder, but can only rejoice, that, from
CAESARS household downward, there
were many in this condition who found
in Christian teaching light and peace
from heaven. However low their earth
ly lot, they thus attained to faith so
sure and so consolatory that in the
very catacombs they surrounded the
grim memorials of death with emblems
of peace and beauty, and made the i'll
spelt iargon of their quaint illiterate
epitaphs the expression of radiant
happiness and an illimitable hope

The great naturalist, Culver, was walk
ing one day with a young lady, who was q
victim of tight lacing, in public garden
in Paris. A lovely blossom upon an
elegant plant drew from her an ex-
preston of admiration. Looking at
her pale, thin face, Culver said: "You
were like this flower once; tomorrow
it will be as you are now" Next day
he led her to the same spot and the
beautiful flower was dying. She asked
the cause. "This plant" replied
Cuvier, "is an image of yourself. I
will show you what is the matter with
it." He pointed to cord bound tight
ly around the stem and said: "You
are fading away exactly in the same
manner under the compression of your
corset, and you are losing by degrees
AZ your youthful charms, just because
you have not the courage to resist this
dangerous fashion"

Gates Aiar.

The touching rathos of Childhood is
shown in the following: The death of
q well-known gentleman had called
forth many EXPIRE ssions of SYM athy
from friends, in the way of profu' ion
of flowers, in beautiful DESIGNS. After
they had been placed around him as he
lay in the clsket, h s little daughter
Alice, of A years, was led by her NAM
ma into the room to look upon the face
of her dead papa. She was naturally
attracted by the flowers, and by the de-
sign of "The Gates Ajar." Her mamma
told her that "the beaut full gate" had
opened, and papa had passed through
and would never come Lack TO them
agan. The child looked steadily at
her papa's face for a few moments, then
climbed up so she could reach over and
kiss his cold lips, saying: Papa, dear,
speak to me and say YOU will come to
the beautiful gate and meet your little
Alice some day "-Boston Courier.

A Mystery.

How the human system ever RECEIVERS from
the bad effects of the nauseous medicines often
literally poured into it for the suppositive relief
of dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation,
rheumatism, and other ailments is a mystery.
The mischief done by bad medicine is scarcely
less than that caused by disease. II they who
are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, constipated, or
rheumatic would oftener be guided by the OK
perience Of invalids who have thoroughly tested
Hostotters Stomach Bitters, they would in
every instance obtain the speediest aid deriva-
BILE from rational medication. This medicine is
a searching and at the same time thoroughly
safe remedy, derived from vegetable sources,
and possessing in consequence of its basis of
pure spirits, properties medicinal stimu-
liant not to be found in the fiery local bitteTs
and stimulants often rosorted to by the debili-
tated dyspeptic, and languid.

sIf l Only Had Capital"

In all sections of AID lands we find a
class Of people, mostly young men, who
are good takers, but very poor work
ers. They are constantly bemoaning
their lot in life, and grieve because
they were not born with silver spoon
in their mouth. They stand on the
street corners or loaf in the billiard
and .pool rooms, and, like Micawber,
are constantly waiting for something to
turn up, never themselves putting forth
the first effort to turn anything up.
"Oh, if had capital, I'd show you
how to make money. 1 would invest
in this enterprise or that industry, and
soon it would be bringing me in hand
some returns, and then l would be liv-
ing, and not dragging out a mere ex-
istence; but this getting along without
money is what l never could do, and L
never expect to know how" Such is
the soliloquy of many young men who
reside not q thousand miles from Ports
mouth.
To all such, should they peruse these
lines, we would say: "You are the
architect of your own fortune" and
you are and can be just exactly what
YOU Mdhb w bC, ahu NlidV NOu are
ing to work to attain unto. Money is
not all the capital that is necessary as
q stepping stone to success. Any young
man who has his bodily and mental
health, and a mind of at least some
culture, has capital that many of the
moneyed men never possessed, and if
he will only utilize this God given cap
ital with vim, force, and push, he will
thereby be enabled, under ordinary
circumstances, to lay up for himself
some of that other kind of capital
which is SO essential to ones happ ness
and comfort in everyday life. What
our young men of to-day need is not so
much money as it is the push and en-
ergy to earn it. Then when it comes
in the reward of their own labors, they
will appreciate its value more and know
how to save it, and by assiduous toll
perhaps some day they may have the
capital the lack of WHICH they so much
bemoan at the present day.
Then, young man, go to work, cease
loafing on the street corners and public
saloons, and use the God-given capital
you have at your command, and this
may be means to desirable end. At
any rate, don't forever stand crying,
eff / had capital" when all the talents
you have are depreciating in value for
the want of proper exercise.

A clergyman in o Southern State
was on his way to preach funeral SER
mon. As he was passing the house OF
q widow lady, q member Of his congre-
cation, she ran out and stopped him,
saying. as they had just slaughtered
their hogs, she had put up few
pounds of sausage as Q present, adding
that az she had put it in double paper
pockets. she thought it would not soil
his clothes. He thanked her earnestly
for her kindness, and rode on, having
put the parcel in his pocket.
All the time he was officiating at the
grave large, half-starved hound kept
shutting around him, sometimes APP
preaching alarmingly near, attracted
by the scent of the fresh meat. AS the
deceased was q man of some prom
inence, there was considerable crowd
collected, and great mourning and
lamentation came from the family
group; 80 no one paid any attention to
the movements of the animal, but all
noticed with concern-'or he was be-
loved by his congi egation-the great
pallor of the clergyman, and the beads
of perspiration standing upon his
brow, and they began to whisper to
each other that Mr.. H must be i'll.
After the interment they all pro-
ceeded to the church, where the funer-
al sermon was to be preached. Just
before entering, Mr.. H turned
round to ascertain the whereabouts
of his tormentor, when 10! there he
was, not far from him, but the crowd
prevented him from approaching too
closely, Just at this moment some
one gave the poor creature a cruel
kick, which sent him off bowling.
When the minister reached his pulpit
-one of those old-fashioned affairs
assembled by short, steep flight of
steps-he breathed more freely. He
was just about to commence his duties
when the sexton, a good old man,
came noiselessly up tho steps with
slip of paper in his hand. which he
wished to give to the minister, but
who was unnoticed by that gentleman,
though seen by all the congregation.
He gently twitched his coat to attract
his attention. A thrill of horror passed
over the unhappy preacher at the
dreadful thought that the dog had en-
tered unseen in the crowd, and was
now about to take forcible possession
of the sausage before the whole assem-
bly,; so, hoping to drive him away, he
kicked back cautiously but vigorously,
and struck the old man in the breast,
who rolled down the steps.
Seeing the look of surprise and
alarm on the faces of the audience, he
stammered out, with crimson face: Il
must explain to you, my brethren,
what must seem my Incorporate con-
duct. A friend came out to me. as I
was passing her house, with small
package of sausage for me to carry
home in my pocket; but ever since L
dismounted from my horse this old
dog"-pointing behind to the pros
trate sexton, but without looking
round-"has been following me, and at
length came into the pulpit, and has
been tugging at my coat, determined
to get the sausage from my pocket"
At this moment the sexton, little
stunned and little hurt, arose from
the floor, and the minister at glance
took it all in, stared wildly at him.
took a drink of water, turned very
pale, and sat down, overwhelmed with
consternation.- DraDer, in

The Unromantic View.

The hero in new novel is an artist
who strangles himself with the long
locks of golden hair which his lady love
has cut off and left in his studio before
she committed suicide. This must be
pretty satisfactory novel, provided
both suicides take place in the first
chapter, and the other characters die OF
broken hearts in the second. If the
hero had got a single hair of the long
locks in his throat while eating hash al
his boarding house he would have been
more deserving of sympathy.-Norris-
