Win AND WISDOM.

One of the marked characteristics
Of speculation is its utter superiority to
all forms of consistency.
-"Worth makes the man, the want Of
it the fellow" but the thing which we
call worth" Is that which we most ad-
mire ourselves Puck.
Age is not to be feared; the older
good and healthy person grows, the
greater becomes his capacity to enjoy
the deeper, sweeter and more noble
kinds Of happiness which the world af-
fords.
All gamblers are curse to society,
and the worst form of this curse is sup
piled by those who gamble in the neces-
saries of life, and fill their pockets by
compelling the people to pay unnatu-
rally high prices for what they must
buy in order to live.
There is no liberty to men whose
passions are stronger than their reli-
gious feelings; there is no liberty to
men in whom ignorance predominates
over knowledge; there is no liberty to
men who know not how to govern
themselves.-Beecher.
Expensive and gorgeous funerals
do no good to the dead, and, when
practiced by the rich, they tempt the
poor and those in moderate circum-
stances to rate of expenditure that
they can i'll afford. They had better be
dispensed with altogether.
Men talk in raptures Of youth and
beauty, wit and sprightliness, but, after
seven years Of union, not one Of them is
to be compared to good family manage
ment, which is seen at every meal and
every family gathering, and felt every
hour In the husbands purse.
Neither present fame, nor war, nor
power, nor wealth, nor knowledge
alone shall secure an entrance to the
true and noble Valhalla- There shall
be gathered only those who have toiled
each in his vocation for the welfare Of
others. Justice and benevolence are
higher than knowledge and power
Whittier.
Contact is essential to compassion,
You may pity a man from q distance,
you can only compassionate him close
at hand. Two things are required Of
us if we would serve others: We must
learn how to put ourselves in their
place; we must be willing TO get down
from the saddle OF comfort in which we
sit, remote from need, that we may
lzneel beside the soul we would save =

in the least afraid of Sim, whom she had
often coaxed into her room with bonbons,
was quick to respond.
Selling Sim laughingly as he dashed
past her, Francie wrested the envelope
from his paw, but as her eyes unwittingly
rested on the address so plainly visible un-
der the glass chandelier, she uttered lit
tie exclamation Of surprise.
"Why-it's addressed to me-and the
seal is brokenl' she exclaimed, fixing her
clear eyes on Mrs. Theodosia Brown, who,
for the moment, was stricken dumb
There was an awkward silence that was
suddenly broken by Dick Blake's deliber-
ate voice.
"Yes, Miss Francie," he said, quietly,
II know it is yours, because wrote it and
laid 1t in your room while you were out
this morning. The seal was unbroken

"By Jove, that's a facer for the widow"
muttered Buffer, who was known to have
sporting proclivities.
81 think l must bid you good night"
said Francie, bowling with a slightly
heightened color to the curious faces about
her. ''Good night, Mrs. Brown" and van
ished through the door.
Curiously enough the remaining guests
suddenly discovered that it twas time to go,
and in few moments no one was left in
the room but the discounted widow, the
parrot pugs, cat and Sim, who, with hif
paw pressed against his aching head,
seemed prey to the bitterest remorse.
Half an hour later Mr.. Blake heard
gentle tap at his door. Throwing it open,
he stood for moment in state Of extatic
bewilderment
For before him stood FTancie, looking
demurely downward at g knot Of roses,
whose carnation seemed reflected in her
cheeks
With q rapturous exclamation Blake
sprang forward. But lifting her glad eyes
to his own with sweet, yet shy glance,
which told him all he would know, Fran

Origin of lynch Law.

Lynch law is pretty generally under
stood as the taking of life without pro
cess of law of felon who has been con-
victed at the bar of public opinion OF an
offense deserving of death. But it is
not so generally known that the name
originated in Campbell County, Va,
before the revolutionary war. At that
period the country was thinly settled,
and was infested with Tories and des-
peradoes-too many Of them, appa-
rently, for the local authorities to ade-
quately punish. Colonel Charles
Lynch, distinguished officer Of the
revolutionary army, undertook to rid
his country Of the outlaws He organ
lied force, arrested the outlaws, and,
having satisfied himself and comrades
Of the guilt of the accused, executed
them without reference to the consti-
tuted authorities. While not altogether
approving Of the desperate remedy for
a desperate cause, the beneficial effect
Of Colonel Lynch's action was recog-
nized and has since been known as
"Lynch's law" or Lynch law" Lynch's
process of netting out speedy justice
extended to other parts Of the country,
and is a well-recognized form Of redress
of grievances to-day, particularly for
that class Of offenses that are popu-
Iarly believed not to be adequately
punished by the statutes and the courts
Of the State. Colonel Lynch's brother
gave his name to and founded Lynch
burg, and left a son who was subse-
quently Governor Of Louisiana. - Hart

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL,


Tho best teachers are those who
learn something new themselves
every day, and are not ashamed to
own It.
The blessings Of fortune are the
lowest; the next are the bodily advant-
ages Of strength and health; but the
superlative blessings, in fine, are those
Of the mind.-L' EstrGngc.
The remark Of Prof DrummoDd,
who lately visited so many Of the coll
leges of America, that their general
atmosphere is Christian; they are 10
ligious institutions" /" has much Of truth
In it. It is, however, good deal
more true Of some than It is Of others.
Anger is an expression Of personal
selfshness in one thing, and anger as q
strong displeasure with evil, with mean
ness, baseness, irreverence, cowardice,
cruelty and stupid Indifference to suffer-
ing quite another and different thing.
Anger Of the latter sort is q Christian
virtue.
Great as have been the discoveries
and achievements Of science In the last
hundred years, 1t is doubtless true that
the sum Of the unknown is yet vastly
in excess Of that Of the known, and al.
ways will be. Each achievement or dis
covery is but a stepping-stone to some.
thing greater and higher.
limitation Of Christ on earth, and
perfect likeness to his moral character
herafter-the one to be sought while
here, and the other to be attained in
Heaven-constitutes the idea Of true
Christian. he will at last morally be like
the Lord whom he loves, and in whom
he believes.--Independent
"A life Of virtue Is life Of health.
Self-denial leads to a self-development
on higher planes. Patient battling
against lower lusts ends in assured vic
tory. To one man, and to one only, ia
life worth living, and that man is he
who resolves on nothing less than per
fection Of body, mind and soul.
The Christian religion Is the moral
force to hold in check the greater
enemies Of righteousness in all their
manifold forms and manifestations
What would the human family be If this
moral force were obliteratedp As well
might we do without the sun as to hope
for spiritual light without the sanctify-
ing power Of the Christian religion.
"A man who is not strictly upright
in life can not be truly pious in heart.
Piety can never be disconnected from
morality. A man may be moral with
out being pious, but he can not be pious
without being moral Every true Chris
tian, like the Apostle, endeavors to
keep conscience void OF offense to-
ward God and man.-AethOdist Re
cOrder.
1t is not the duty Of the educator
to fill the mind of his pupil with that
he believes to be truths, but to train
the intellect for the apprehension and
reception of truth. Many who assume
this responsible Office act the very re-
verse of this. They devote themselves
earnestly to the task of filing the minds
of the young with preiudices which
they strive to make ineradicable.
"Give me child until he is ten," say
some religionists, ''and we have no fear
of his being proselyted to another
faith" Who can estimate the amount
Of mischief that has resulted from the
establishing OF this boastP

already been pre-empted.
Her name was Frank or Francie-ac-
cording to the fancy of her friends. Dick
called her Miss Francie always, pending
the time when he fondly hoped to call her
Francie darling. Her room was up three
flights, and Mrs. Theodosia Brown always
spoke Of her in view Of her occupation as
''that type writer girln
But Mrs. Brown was thirty odd, some
what high colored, inclined TO embonpOint

nineteen, with a graceful, well-rounded

Of perfect health. And when l add that she
had sweet, refined face, ,lustrousdark eyes

seen that the widow had the best of fem

Now, Dicks heart had long before gone
out into Francie's keeping. If the young
girl herself was aware Of this she made no
sign Why should she when he had never
spoken-in words But on this particular
day Dick Blake had resolved to
"--put it to the test

Who stood In the vestibule.


Who stood in the vestibule.
The parson stayed moments space
By the beggar grim and gray;
He said: "Good morrow, my worthy friend,
Are you giving thanks to-dayS
Move on-no doubt your dinner waits;"
And the parson went his way.
The beggar smiled: "My Fathers landa
Extend from sea to sea;
He feeds the ravens when they cry,
And He'u save a crumb for me.
Somewhere within His wide domain
A table doth await;
Beneath some humble cotter's roof
Or by the rich mans gate;

With shoulders broad, and hea-tsome voice
And cheek and brow Of tan.

And half a score OF girls and boys

But shall fret and pine?

To call my own; and yetrm sure

When summer breezes round me play,
And sunshine warns my face

I'll find my rightful place.
And when the summer days are dead,
When ice and frost and snow
Blot out the sun and hide the earth,
And fierce winds wildly blow,
Still trusting to my Fathers hand,
Upon my way go.
