to overcome the difficulty, which has been
insuperable till now, of making her return
to the surface at will. She was apt to put
her nose downward and make straight for
the bottom with perfect disregard of the
steering gear. In experimenting with her,
precautions had been taken to counteract
by external means such alterations on her
part, but in actual war she was useless, un-
less men could be found who would strike
one blow in her, and die in strikingit. And
men were found who would do this thing.
The Federal fleets were investing New Or
leans, and it was of the utmost importance
to the Confederate force that the hostile flag
ship or one Of her consorts should be de-
stroyed. The boat was there in the harbor
which could go out and strike a fatal blow
that her enemy would be powerless to
evade, but the striking of this blow meant
certain death. Men can generally be found
to lead or take part in forlorn hope. The
danger is great, but there is always hope
of return, and the glory is in proportion to
the danger. But in this case there was no
hope of return. Who so went out in this
boat must be prepared to give his life abso-
lutely for the good of his country-to save
her from danger and then himself to die like
a rat drowned in its hole. And such men
were found. They went on board calmly,
made their preparations, and then steamed
out on their last voyage. All the populace
turned ont on the quays and the shores, and
gave the heroes godspeed, such as almost
must have been worth buying with life.
They never came back, and the Federal
ship never returned home. Both sank to-
gether, and when, after the war was over,
it was proposed to raise the sunken ship,
the diver who went down to examine found
the monster with half her bottom blown in,
and her little antagonist, who had dealt the
blow, lying by her side.-AH the Year

"I don't want YOU to do or undertake any

81 don't want you to do or undertake any
thing" said Susie, little wearily. "Iou
don't understand, Tom. 1t is just that l
can't think or decide about-that, now. l
want you to give it up"
"Give it up-give up all hope!"
II hoped you would not care so very
much. And l find it hard, somehow, to re-
alize that you are the same-that anything
is the same as it used to be once. 1t is all
so different now"
"You are different, know. We were

you saying?"
"Well, you know how people talk. Some
might say that it was your money-but
after all, why should care what people

a thought of me-"
"No," said Susie gravely, 81 never could.
I know you too we'll to feel such suspi-
cion of you. 1t would be very base"
And then they were both silent for a
minute, both thinking, perhaps, the same
thoughts.

"You forgive me-entirely

"Well," said Tom with sigh, lit doesn't
seem to me that I've gained anything.
But I suppose I must do as you say. Re-
member though I mean to see you soon

TO this she made no answer, only uttered
gentle, decisive "Good-night," and her
lover reluctantly departed. Susie went into
the house; and a figure, gliding out of the
shadow and across the lawn, swung itself
to the top of the brick wall, and so over to
the other side, and disappeard as silently
as it had come.

Frederick Turner, Secretary of the noble
order of the knights of Labor, was born
in England in 1916 and came to this coun-
try when he was ten years of age. He was
educated in the schools of Philadelphia and
graduated from the High School. He learn
ed the trade of gold beating, at which he
worked before his duties as Secretary of the
knights of Labor became too burdensome.
In 1873 he organized forty of his fellow
gold-beaters as Local Assembly No. % and
afterward organized Local Assembly No.
%, the first in New York. He was elected
secretary of the organization and has been
thrice chosen to the same position. He is
one of the Executive Board, which man.

when the General Assembly is in session,
and in order to do this the BOARD" has to
travel almost constantly from one city to
another. The Executive Committee legal
ICES strikes, terminates strikes, investi-
gates, lifts or extends boycotts, confers with
capitalists and corporations and looks into
accusations against the character or acts of
local and district officials and assemblies.
1t is doubtful whether any other five
men in America have the power, for veal

uuintette has and it is to be said to their
credit, that with all their power, they have

The order of the knights of Labor was
started in Philadelphia in 1869 by Criah S.
Stevens, clothing cutter of that city, where
many local assemblies were formed ere the
movement spread to other localities. With
| Mr.. Stevens were associated Frederick Tur-
ner, the subject of our sketch, and Joshua

TELLING THE TRUTH IN SCHoOL.-Ed-
ward Everett Hale, in a recent address,
made an interesting statement concerning
the Boston Latin school when he was one of
its pupils, some fifty years ago II am
quite sure" he said, "that even cowardly
boys of the school would have been more
afraid to tell lie than of any consequences
of telling the truth"
He attributed this high tone not to the
discipline of the school, nor to the example
of the teachers, but to the right feeling of the
boys themselves. sit was tone given by
the scholars" he remarks. ut was thing
understood among them that a boy who
would lie was cowardly and mean fellow,
and as such was to be politely cut by his fel-
low pupils until he had learned better"
Boys are so susceptible to the public opin-
ion of their school, that it requires more
courage than human nature ordinarily pos
sesses for boy to do either wrong or right
against it. Hence, the anxious solicitude of
good teachers to get the public opinion of
their schools sound and RATIONAL YOUTHS

OLD WoMEN.-The flippant, contemptu-
GUS way of speaking of old women, and the
want of respect shown them, when in pow
erty or decay, might we'll pause before the
grand historic women who passed far into
old age. Of Queen Elizabeth it is said,
cher proficiency in learning was great, and
she possessed extraordinary talents for gov
ernment. The security and defense of the
English people were never placed in ADLER
hands," She died in the 10th year of her
age, and the 45th of her reign. There was
Mrs. Hannah More, living near our own
day, who died in her SSth year, leaving
writings which "improved the taste, cor
rected the morals and elevated the piety of
the age. She wrote equally for the instruc-
tion of the prince and the peasant" TO her
writings England was greatly indebted for
its safety from contagion of the violence
and infdelty of the French revolution.

Don't Cheat Yourself.

There's a way of doing that. One
of the most frequent methods of
doing it is to buy on credit. Credi-
tors have longer memories than
debtors. It's an old saying that
fire is good servant but n bad
MASTER" That is as true of debt.
1t is SO easy getting into debt. It's
easy and soft to the foot to step into
quagmire, too. But don't be de-
ceived. There's dishonor often in
debt just as there is destruction in
a quagmire's depths,
There's only one safe way of keep
ing a stiff upper lip and getting
along in the world, Pay as you go.
There are scores of places to spend
your money, where the inducements
is--Pay after awhile. Don't you do
it. There's n swamp in front of you
when you begin debt.
There's many an argument against
getting in debt; there's no sound
one for 1t. Is it wise to borrow to-
morow's or next years good name
or their earnings to pay to-day's
wants Do you imagine for Il mom-
ent that you don't have to pay extra
for things you go in debt for? Is it
true policy to let your desires get
the better of your wisdom?
Keep your hand in your pocket
when you feel like giving everybody
bond on what you may earn next
next week, nexth month, next year.
Buy what you have money for, and
look sharply to get your full moneys
worth for that.
There's many happy hour paid
away, many quiet nights rest in
trade, for the goods you buy on
credit, That's clear waste of your
life's happiness, and the things you
buy cost you more, besides, than il
you paid the cash down.
Don't cheat yourself.

Home.
The home governs the world.

4 AAO A4OlAAS SCANAip liAO hOlAAs
All social and moral laws of our
common civilization revolve around
the home. 1t is the school of social
progress. Public opinion of our
home.
Clear-sighted reformers aim to di-
rect the power that rules the home.
In certain sense we are all reform
ers, we all try to make the world
better; some are trying in one way,
some in another; but we should all
begin at home.
Let the home be q cheerful, sun
shiny place. There let us find neat
ness and comfort. Above all, let us
have always good nature and means
of improvement. Home is the place
for all best things therefore don't
keep all your cheerfulnesss for socie=
ty, nor shut out all the sunshine ex-
cept when you have visitors. Cheer
fullness and sunshine do not cost
anything but withhold them and
you are heavy loser.
1t is not alone the housekeepers
duty to keep the house rooms neat
and tidy, each member of the family
should assist in it. There are thou
sand ways of keeping clean that
saves vast amount of making clean.
Anyone of refined feeling regards all
labor to secure neatness a labor of
love and duty.
Did you ever hear the little fable
of the chairs For fear yon haven't
I'll tell it to you.
"Well," said a straight-backed,
straight-legged chair to a cosy rock
ing chair by whose side it CHANGED
to be placed, 'before l would be such
drudge as you are, l would be a
stool Or if possible, something more
insignificant. People are not con-
tent with making you nurse every
one, be they big Or little, but you
must be continually rocking them to
and fro"
"To be sure" answered the little
rocking chair, 81 am always busy
and on the go for the qualification of
others, but thereby I have won
many friends, and appear to be
great favorite with all. This pays
me for all my trouble"
The moral of this pretty fable is,
that all who cheerfully and willingly
do for others are the ones who gain
most for themselves.
This is a most beautiful lesson to
utilize for home life.
One of the pleasantest and noblest
duties Of the family is to furnish its
members with good reading. In
times that are past, it was consid-
cred enough to clothe, feed and shell
ter family. But now it is recog-
nized as fact that we all have hun
CRY minds to feed.
They must be fed a healthy diet !;
they want to be sheltered from the
pitiless storm of error and vice. An
ignorant family is a dark spot on
our modern intelligence.
Let good reading go into the
houses and the very atmosphere
changes. The boy begins to talk of
men, principles, the past and future.
The girls find opening before a new
life of duty and love.
Out from the family will go intelli-
gent men and women to fill useful
and honorable positions.
Let the torch of improvement be
lit in every household. Let the
young and the old vie with. one
another in introducing new and use
lul topics of investigation and in
eherishing love for study and adj
vancement
Such II home implants memories
in the heart that can never die. The
rough rubs of the world can never
oblitcrate them. Lives so formed
are the timbers that uphold the
work.

writn her few lines, which shepro-
ised to post. The result was an eff
fusion of mingled jealousy and love
from Gerald, which Mrs. Robbins
forwarded that night. The next af-
ternoon the stranger who had caus-
ed my companion such anxiety
again called, and we were barely ci-
vii to him, until he handed Gerald
note from Maggie, inviting him and
me warmly to return to Long Branch
with the bearer, to where she was
staying.
I'VE needed no time for reflection,
but started at once, full of anxious
curiosity. Our visitor was strangely
silent on the journey. Only a ro-
guish smile twinkled in his eye as he
evaped our questions. We both
were lost in conjectures as to what
would happen next. At last we ar
rived at a certain well-known, large
hotel, and followed the stranger"
into a handsomely furnished private
setting-room.
eff you will be seated, gentlemen,
l will tell Maggie you are here" he
said, as he left the room.
In a few minutes he returned.
They had seemed hours of torture to
Gerald. He led Maggie up to him,
and with mock gravity, said
"Allow me to introduce to you a
capricious young lady in her real
character. This is my daughter,
Margaret Livingston, known to you
both, I believe, as Maggie Robbins" "
We were speechless with surprise,
and look of intense relief passed
over Gerald's face. Maggie, laugh
ing and blushing, was very reticent
in answering our enquiries as to the
meaning of the delusion practiced
on us. Later on, when she and Ger
aid were engaged, with her fathers
consent, the whole truth became
known to us.
Mrs. Robbins was her foster moth
er, and when she wanted to spend a
few days in New York she frequent
ly stayed with her. Mr.. Livingston
was widower, and disliked the city
so he seldom accompanied his
daughter there. Maggie confessed,
to his surprise, that she had known
Gerald well by sighs, and heard a
great deal of him from one of her
girl friends before he had met her.
For myself I privately conjectured
that Miss Maggie had fallen in love
with my handsome fIiedd before
even she spoke to him, and that her
little plan had been all arranged
between Mrs. Robbids and herself
previous to her visit to New York.
Maggie laughingly told us that
she had also heard of Gerald's deter.
minatien never to marry girl be-
meath him in station, and that when
shh saw he took her for Mrs. Rob.
bins daughter she enjoyed the joke
much, and determined to keep it up
Well, he had to make no sacrifice
of pride, for Margaret belonged to a

any in the land.
