THE SABBATH.

Our American liberties are large
" connected with this day Of rest.
This day has given the people time
to think and read, and enjoy family
life, and without 1T we should have
become an ignorant, british, ma
chine people, like the low peasantry
of continental Europe. Take away
this rest day, and you undermine
our high moral and educational con-
dition as a people. You turn us into
a nation of mere "workies." The
cry of religious oppression as
against Sunday observance, is a de-
vice Of the enemy. 1t is but the
voice of soulIess corporations, and
of the proprietors of drinking sa-
looms and other demoralizing places,
who wish to make their great gains
on Sunday, and care nothing for the
welfare and happiness of the people.
They are the oppressors and the adj
yocates of a day of rest are the
staunch supporters Of true freedom.
America has three bulwarks Of
liberty-a free ballot, n free school,
and free Sunday, and neither do
nestle treachery nor foreign impu-
dence should be permitted to break
them down.

INDIRECT INFLUENCE.

The amount and value of man S
influence for good or evil upon the
world, will generally depend on the
character of his indirect and uncon-
scious influence. Personal perlec-
tion-the Christian refinement of
feelings and sentiments, faithfulness
to all the duties of the more private
relations we sustain, are inexorably
demanded by the Almighty, and by
the spirit Of Christs Gospel, and
demanded the more vigorously be-
cause the effect of such fidelity does
not end with ourselves, but goes
forth and wins results that are pre-
cious in the sight Of heaven, and
which we may never know. The
spirit of persons life is ever she'd
ding some power, just rs q flower is
steadily bestowing some fragrance
upon the air. Do You think that a
pure prayer in the sacred privacy of
home does not steal through the
walls and vivify the atmosphere be
yond? DO you doubt that a word
of sympathy and gift of charity, in
desolate chamber, publishes a
sweet influence on the frosty air Of
selfishness? Such things reveal and
confirm character and make the
power Of persons presence who
performs them intense and beneii
cial. Influence depends less upon
our activity than on the qualities
that lie behind our activity, as the
planet attracts not by its weight. If
we had lived as we ought to live,
and as we might live, a power would
90 out from us that would make
every day lyric sermon that would
be seen and felt by an ever enlarg-
inc audience.

BEING A BOY.
ICharles Dudley Warner. !

LCharles Dudley Warner.
One OF the best things in the
world to be is a boy; it requires no
experience, though it needs some
practice to be a good one. The dis
advantage of the position is that it
does not last long enough. 1t is
soon over. Just as you get used to
being g boy, you have to be some
thing else, with good deal more
work to Go, and not half so much
fun. And yet every boy is anxious
to be man, and is very uneasy
with the restrictions put upon him
as a boy.
There are so many bright spots
in the life of a farm boy that l
sometimes think / should like to
live the life over again. There is
great comfort to boy in the
amount of work he can get rid of
doing. It is sometimes astonishing
how slow ne can 60 on an errand.
Perhaps be couldn't explain him
self, why, when he is sent to the
neighbor's after the yeast, he stops
to stone the frogs. 1t is curious
fact about boys that two will be a
great deal slower about doing any
thing than one. Boys have great
power of helping each other do
nothing.
But say what you will about gen
eral usefulness of boys, farm with
out q boy would very soon come to
grief. He is always in demand.
In the first place, he is to do all the
errands, 90 to the store, the post
office, and to carry all sorts Of mes
sages. He would like to have as
many legs as a wheel has spokes,
and rotate about in the same way.
Leap frog is one of his methods OF
getting over the ground quickly.
He has a natural genius for COM
bining pleasure with business.

An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble
with which so many seem now to be
afflicted? If you will remember
few years ago the word Malaria was
comparatively unknown-to.day it
is as common as any word in the
English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forcfathers in
times past. So it is with nervous
diseases, rs they and Malaria are
intended to cover what our grand
fathers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise
from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it of through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreci-
ate a cure. We recommend Green's
August Flower. It's cnres are mar
velous. aug3.cow.

A SINGULAR DISCOVERY.

Fer a year or so the proprietors OF
the Capitol Hotel, Denver, COL, have
been aware that money was disap-
pearing in small quantities, which
was source of great annoyance.
Finally, a trusted employe was dis
covered in the act of abstracting a
small amount of his employers
funds, which had been taken in thro'
the office. He was at once accused
Of having secured considerable lie
amount, aggregating in the neigh
borhood of several hundred dollars,
and ultimately apprehendred for the
theft. He confessed to petit larceny,
which was all that could be proved
against him, and as stoutly main
tanned his innocence in excess of the
amount he had confessed to taking.
Circumstances, ,however,were against
him, and he paid the penalty. The
matter was settled satisfactorily,
perhaps, and he left the State. A
day or two ago the cash drawer was
found to be short of balance in the
sum of $25. A careful review of the
entries revealed no remedy, and the
proprietors were puzzled to account
for the shortage. Finally the cash
drawer was removed from its posi-
ton and largesized hole discov-
cred, through which rats or mice had
gained an entrance into the money
drawer. Further search revealed
the fact that new nest had been
constructed underneath the counter
top, which was built of papers taken
from the drawer. In addition to
this, the nest was lined With three
$5 bills and one $40 bill, which bal
anced the account with the cash
drawer.

OLD STYLE CHURCH PEWS.

The cosy squire's pew of the
eighteenth century was an elaborate
structure, luxuriously furnished and
surmounted by crimson curtains. 1t
often contained the only fireplace in
the church. and was not complete
without a square table. During the
reign of George ] colored footman
would enter with a tray Of light re-
freshments just before the sermon.
In one of these retreats Ernest, Duke
of Cumberland, being enconsed, was
reused from a doze by the eXhorta-
ton, "Let us pray" "By all MEANS"
shouted the Duke; | have no oDjee-
tions." The poor were accommo-
dated in narrow pews, very high and
stiff in the back. No wonder a timid
child remarked that 4 man in velvet
breechcs had sat her OH a pantry
shelf and shut the door.

ALL FROM ONE HUNDRED
DOLLARS.

Mrs. Sarah Dunn, formerly of
Toulon, H., now of Grinnell, Ia, re
Gently came by nice little legacy
in the following manner: Her sis
ter, Mrs. Marvin. who was born in
1S24,was named after an aunt whose
husband was brother OF her mother
and esteemed her as near relative
"a sister-yery highly, and was so
highly pleased with the namesake of
his wife that, unknown to any one,
he deposited 800 in the bank to be
kept for her. The uncle died years
ago. also Miss Marvin, the latter
willing all her property to her sis
ter, Mrs. Sarah Dunn. Recently the
bank with whom the 800 had been
deposited thought it about time to
be looking up the rightful heir to
the money, and addressed parties
by that name in Michigan; they in
turn parties in Missouri: they par
ties in Ohio, and at last they found
the righ6ul one ia Grinnell; but
Miss Marvin being dead, Mrs. Dunn
replied to the inquiry; sent Miss
Marvin's Will aDd other papers, some
OF which contained the handwriting
of this uncle, which was found to
correspond with the writing Of his
the bank held, and they at once for
warded the 800, with its amoant of
increase. which swelied TIE sum to
$2.600-the result of interest for 81
Years

PURSUE WHAT IS USEFUL

Come, boys, and listen few mo-
ments to your. uncle. You lave
now arrived at an age when you
must begin to think about doing
something for yourselves. The first
piece of advice have for you is, to
do everything well which you un-
dertake. There is but little danger
of your being too particular in this
respect. A boy who is careful to
draw straight line on his slate,
will be very likely to make straight
line through life. There is no po-
sition in life which you will not be
called upon to act as exact as posi-
BILE. Step into jewelers. shop,
and see how careful the workman
must be in finishing up the article
he holds in his hands. Visit the
ship yard, and the man with the
broadax must learn to hew on a
line, or be dismissed. You think
of being clerk. Well, remember
that a mistake there is little less
than a crime. l never saw q man
who was very particular about his
affairs that was not successful How
exact is military officer in CON-
mand of body of men. A clumsy
sailor will never rise to the COM
mand Of ship.
But there is one great danger
which besets many young men at
the present day. If it is the dispo
sition to avoid all solid improve
ment, and take up with subjects
that require no thought, and which
serves as mere warfare with godli-
ness, our portion will be that of the
ungodly. AS the tree falleth so
shall it lie. We shall reap what we
have sown.
"Let my example warn you OF the
fatal error into which you have fall
len," said the gay Sir Francis Dele
val, near the end of his life. "Pur-
sue what is useful pursue what is
useful!' Reader, if you would not
make your life curse, present and
eternal, "pursue what is useful"
West Virginia Democrat. [volume] (Charles Town, W. Va.) 1885-1890, 1888-12-07
LOVE MADE HIM A SOLDIER
BOY.
Now York World. ]

The clear, sharp notes OF bugle
call rang out at Castle William, on
Governors Island, at o'clock yes
terday afternoon, relieving a dozen
or more strapping young soldiers
from police duty at the guard house.
Each divested himself of pistol, belt,
pouch, and weapon, and leisurely
strolled to the barracks of his par.
ticular battery. Among the number
was q stalwart young man OF per-
haps twenty-six years SIX feet four
inches in height and proportionate
in breadth, whose carriage and de-
pertinent were striking. he was a
gentleman ali over, with the unmis-
taxable air of man Of the world,
quite foreign to Uncle Sans aver
age recruit
This same young soldier appeared
in the Superior Court the day before
as the defendant in the snit of the
Forbes Lithographic Company, of
Boston, against Watson A. Teegar-
den, in which receiver for the pro-
apective estate OF the latter was ap
pointed by the Court in the interest
of claim held by the photographic
company. This suit, in connection
with movement just begun to Sc
cure Teegarden's discharge from the
army, has brought to light bis real
identity. He was the son of west
ern physician, who died leaving
property aggregating quarter Of a
million dollars.
Teegarden came to New York
from the West about six years ago
as treasurer and business manager
for Louis Aldrick and travelled for
three seasons with the My Part
ner" Company. Then he organized
a company Of his own and starred
Harold Forsburg. The company
existed for three weeks and then
went to pieces. All this time Tee
garden obtained plentiful supplies
of money from home and lived like
a prince. He travelled with fast
crowd and after his theatrical fail
ure began drinking heavily. Last
April he disappeared suddenly and
only one or two close friends knew
that he had enlisted for five years
as a private in Battery A, Fifth ar
tillery, at $13 per month. 1t was
for the purpose Of finding out why
he took this step that World re
porter yesterday visited him. He
told the story with reluctance.
Il had squandered $40, 600 in less
