TWO KINDS OF PRIDE.
Why Young Men Should Be Careful I
Choose the Right One.

| Why Young Men Should Be Careful t.
/ Choose the Right One.
Ayoung man employed as teller in
bank in one of our seaboard cities, a
a moderate salary, after year or TIVE
established his family in luxuriou
home. His wife dressed in the extrem,
of fashion and gave expensive socia
entertainments; his children were sen
to fashionable schools. while he drove
some of the finest horses in the city
The suspicion of the officers of thu
bank was at length aroused. He wa.
proved to have embezzled large sums
was tried, convicted and sentenced tt
a long Imprisonment When he wa:
| asked what tempted him to commit ar
act of such egregious folly and crime,
he replied:
Because was resolved my family
should move in society. / would rather
die than live in town where they
cold not belong to the first circle. y
Contrast this incident, which is lit.
eral fact, with the story of an old fam
lily of France under the Bourbons,
taken from private memoirs of that
time. The house of Rohan had been
for centuries one of the noblest in Eu-
rope; its chief. the Prince de Guemenee,
held high Office under Louis XVI,
and his wife was gouuernante Of the
Queens household They both left
Paris one day, taking with them thirty
million livres, which were not their
own. and more than half Of which the
Prince held in trust for poor working
people Owing to their rank, the
money could not be recovered nor the
thieves punished. The sister of the
Prince at once sacrificed her private
fortune to pay the poor who had been
defrauded, and retired for the rest OF
her life into convent. Three other
noble heads Of the family withdrew
from court, lived in seclusion in the
country and devoted their incomes te
make up the sum which the Prince hac
embezzled. These sacrifices were made,
not out of consideration for the GRIM
inal, but avow eddy that the honor OF
the family Of Rohan might remain I'M
furnished in history.
Family pride is undoubtedly a strong
defense and safeguard in a young
mans character. But there are differ.
emit kinds of family pride, and he must
be careful to choose the right one.

''Hurrah!' his CHEEKY voice rang out
"Whoa."
The tired horses stopped instantly
only too glad of the chance. Joe
sprang out into the yielding snow. Ii

ment, for Joe had brought lantern
along, and he had lighted and hung il
up. A moment later we were Joined
! by the minister from Bunker, who,
hnding it possible to get away, had
started.
The men blanketed the poor horses,
| huddled them together close to the
| mouth of the cave, turned the sleigh
box up beside them as partial shelter,
then, bringing my trunk, lunch basket
and the robes, joined us.
The temperature of the cave was
comfortable compared with the upper
air, and we were truly thankful for the
change. Vigorous and continued ex-
| ertlon soon restored our benumbed
limbs to their normal condition, and
we settled down to quiet discussion OF
the situation, and the probabilities in
our favor.
After time the talk languishes, and
Frank made, in a whisper. the queer
est proposition. I gave decided neg.
jative, but at last yielded to his en-
treaty; and almost before the rest real
lied what was going on, we stood be.
fore the minister with clasped hands,
and he was speaking the solemn word
that bound US for better or worse for
life.
It was strange bridal. In that low,
dark cave. lighted only by the smoky
lantern, the terrible blizzard bowling
overhead. and death lurking near in
the fearful cold, which steadily in
creased, mother cried softly, and
fathers voice trembled as he gave me
his blessing. Franks face was very
white as he clasped me in his arms and
called me wife. My own feelings
were mixture of terror and happi-
ness, such as | hope never to experience
again.
We remained in our safe but gloomy
refuge forty-eight hours. Then we
were dug out by my brothers and
party from Bunker. who were in search
of the minister and had found us by
the mounds caused by the snow drift
ing over the poor horses. Two were
dead, and the other had to be killed he
was so badly frozen.
Huddled together under the ground
with fifteen feet Of snow ovt Is, we
had not suffered badly, and thu lunch
basket fillel by mother for Frank and
me on our journey had sufficed to keep
us from actually suffering from hum
ger.

cumstances may read this, and vouch

'sfsEMecRATIC GAINS IN THE NORTH,
uwHsT.--A significant fact in Ameri-
can politics is the melting away of the
enormous republican majorities in the
great States OF the Northwest. For
many years these majorities ranged
in several of those States from fifty
10 one hundred thousand. In 1880,
Senator Conkling, at the Chicago con,
ventioD. when Blaine's nomination
was advocated by Michigan delega,
tior, said anybody" neaning, OF
course, any republican, "can carry
Michigan. So 1t was OF that time.
Michigan had frequently given sixty
and seventy thousand republican ma
jority. In 1884, only four years la i.
ter. Michigan was saved to the re.
publican party by a begZarly MAORI
~ of three thousand, and only be.
cause the vice-presidential candidate,
Gen. Logan, traversed the State on
the eve OF the election. and made the
most earnest personal appeals 10 bis

BRITISH AMERICANS TO voTR-The
naturalization movement among
the British residents of the United
States appears to have reached al
ready large proportions. The vote
in Mas sachusetts has been thus in-
creased, it is stated by officers of
the British.American association,
as much as 10000, and within
four years from the inception of
the movement the addition made
10 the number of voters in the
State of New York is expected 70
reach 10000. Hitherto British
Americans have largely declined
naturalization with the result that
little respect has beer paid to their
susceptibillties by the politicians.
The latter have given their atten +.
ton TO Irish and German emil
grants, whose custom it has been
to become natbralized at the earli-
est practicable moment. Yet the
English and Scotch make excellent
citizens, being already trained to
habits of selEgovernment and in
sympathy with American institu-
tions.
