GRAINS OF TRUTH.

Z II -
"a good conscience is the finest opiate.
Knox. I. .s
Love labor: If you do not want it
for food you may want it as medicine.
Tt is one Of the precious mysteries of
sorrow that it finds solace in unselfsh
thought.
Conscience is merely our own judg-
ment Of the moral rectitude of our own
actions.-Locke.
Pride is a vice which inclines every
man to feel in others and to overlook in
himself Johnson.
There are but two means in the world
of gaining by other men--bY being
either agreeable Or useful.
The moment that is flying holds more
eternity than all our past, and the future
holds none at all.-Faber.
A miser grows rich by seeming poor,
an extravaganza man grows poor by
seeming rich.-Shenstone.
1t was proverb of the Jews that he
who did not bring his son up to trade
brought him up as a thief.
Nc man is free from fear, even he who
says he never feels it. He fears to be
thought a coward; and whether we
tremble before sword or superstition
it is alike fear.
Wisdom cannot be obtained without
industry and labor. Can we hope to
fnd gold on the surface of the earth,
when we dig to the centre of it to lind
lead and tin and the baser metals?
The most valuable part Of every mans
education is that which he receives
from himself, especially when the
active energy of his character makes
ample amends for the want Of a more
finished course of study.
The power Of enjoying the harmless
and reasonable pleasures OF life is not
only essential to a mans happiness, but
an indication OF several valuable quail
ties both ct the heart and the head
which eau hardly exist without it.
In the accomplishment of my duty I
feel that there is near me, invisible to
Others, but visible to my love, One who
assists, inspires, and encourages me,
One who, in return for all HIS does for
me, only asks me to be faithful and
diligeut.-,Gol den Grains.

At Charleston the flags were at half

raise it any higher He pointed out a
certain monument as the place where
George Washington was buried. This
was not quite satisfactory to the seeker
after knowledge, who, seeing on the
stone shaft a bronze tablet, asked Nose
what was on the tablet, and was told,

Some Steel and q Razor.

Mr.. H. M. Patty called at our office
Yesterday, and opening a plain razor
case, took out double concaye blade
and presented it to us.
There was not much, in that, and yet
there is something important back OF
it. The razor was made of Birming-
ham steel, the first steel ever made in
Alabama The steel is worked from
the common white ores of the Birming-
ham district by the Henderson process.
His process is mainly, we believe, an
adjustment of the chimney draughts,
by which the phosphorus is consumed.
The stock of the company which
controls this patent has risen from 5000
to 81 900 per share. Mr.. Vittur, who
made the razor, declares that the steel
is the best American steel he has yet
tesral, and that it may obviate the ne.
cessity of his importing foreign steel,
which he is now compelled to do.
The razor-making itself is important
Mr.. Vittur, in Atlanta, makes the
concave razor blade, the secret OF
which was for long time kept in Ger.
man workshops. His razors, scissors
knives, and all sorts of cutlery com
pare with the best foreign made goods
and his product is easily sold.
A double concave razor made in At
lanta out of Birmingham steel is an &C
complishment of. what, ten years ago
would have been considered foolish
boast. The South is moving.-Att0'att

The Young Male Fool in New York

The exigencies of the fashionable
season impose duties upon young gen
tlemen which only heroes could con-
template undismayed or perform sue
cessfully. Nothing could compensate
for them but the consciousness Of great
services nobly rendered, nor anything
make them possible except the knowl-
edge of the sure approach of Lent. To
the youth who must breakfast at eight
that he may report at the office at nine,
to remain until five or six, Fashion
proposes nap from half-past seven or
eight until eleven; then dressing and
hieing to the ball; then the dance until
four; then another snatch at the sweet
restorer until halp-past seven; then
da capo, or as Mr.. Weller said at the
slide, keep the pot a-b'ilin', sir.
There are sscollateralsn also to this
happiness-bouquets for partners, and
carriages, and the minor decorations
of the person -oblations upon the altar
of the benign and beneticent goddess
whom the youth serve with the devoted
zeal of crusaders and of the Swiss Won
Winkelried. For this fidelity Fashion
points to Lent as the reward -beneticent
Lent. which for balls substitutes small
dances, and little dinners, and cozy
theatre parties, and other such scourg-
ings and macerations and subjuga'
tions of the flesh. The game is prob
ably worth the candle, or 1t would no
be SO furiously piayed.-Geerge Wall
lam Curtis, inHarpers Magazine.

For Alice had crept softly into his
outstretched arms, as some little bird
that has found haven from the storm.
After moment of silence, Alice
whispered softly:
''The wonder to me is that /, SIM
pie girl, have won even your passing
notice. Much will be required OF me
from the world as your wife, Percy,
for''-and her face glowed with an ex-
ultant pride-''you are a poet, and

ure the limit of mine"
Darling" said Percy earnestly, ''for
your dear sake / will henceforth work
with will, so that you may prove a
true prophet of that fairy future into
whose charmed precincts our willing
feet are entering"
Percy kept his word. He is one OF
the worlds sweetest singers; but II his
works outlive him, Alice also will not
be forgotten, for her influence has per-
meated his daintiest creations, even as
it's perfume hints the roses presence,

He Could Not Resist.

It is one of the misfortunes Of the rich
Senators to be constantly besieged by
applicants for small loans, writes
Washington correspondent. Among
the most wealthy men of the Senate is
Brown of Georgia, whose patriarchal
beard and air of solemnity make him
a particular targetfor rtheimpecunious..
The way in which he repelled one of
the applicants on his generosity is re-
lated something like this:
Across the hotel table from the Sen
ator sat sad-eyed woman boarder who
had once been in good circumstances,
but upon whom adversely had frowned
of late.
Senator" said this sad-eyed lady,
"you Southerners are so chlvalrOus, SO
ready to assist those in distress"
"Yes,'' replied the Senator hesita-
ting; he had heard that before from
sad-eyed people, and he thought he
OWNED what was coming.
'.Would you, Senator, with your
true Southern chivalry, do me favor
and great kindness?"
Eyes, madam, what is-that is-it
depends somewhat"
think well, Senator, before you
promise, for it is great kindness. +"
The tone of the same old song the
Senator had heard many times before
from parties who wanted $40 loan.
II am afraid, madam, that | will
have to-but what is it you wish, any
way?"
''That you pass the catsup-you have
everything on your side"

Pitt never ate but at his own table,
which was frugal; only when he had

brated advocate of London always APP
piled blister to his arm whenever he
had an important case to plead.
Girodet never loved to work during

and, half muffled up, painted.
| Michael Angelo did nearly the same,

"Turn Down the Cas-"

G,n. Hickenlooper, the President OF
the Cincinnati Gas Company. has stated
to a reporter of the Cincinnati Tunes
Star the true story of the famous incl
dent of the refusal to turn on the gas
in the old wooden hall in that city, on
the site of Music Hall, when the con-
vention that nominated Hayes for the
Presidency was held there. The Cen
eral said:
81 bore the brunt of that affair, and
have never said anything about 1t from
that day to this. You know the con-
vention was held in the old Sangerfest
Building. and we were afraid to turn
the gas on, and for good reasons.
which it would never have done for the
reputation of Cincinnati to let get out. F"
s.What was that reason?"
"Well, we learned that that old build
ing was eighteen inches out OF plumb.
1t leaned that much to the south. Sec
ondly, the gas pipes and fixtures had
consequently become strained and
wrenched; the joints had become
loosened, and would let the gas escape.
Thirdly, all about the gas fixtures
festoons of flags had been wreathed, 1t
not being expected there would be any
necessity for night session. When
the session became prolonged and the
darkness came on, and there was de-
mand for the gas to be turned on, l.
knowing the dangerous condition OF
the building, refused to have the gas
turned on / knew that in the event
of rush in the excitement, or OF any
thing catching fire. that we should
have one of the most fearful catastrophes
ever known. There was danger both
from collapse and from fire, and I pre-
ferred the public and private censU
to the fearful risk Of a possible ar.
probable calamity. It would hav1
ruined Cincinnati to let it go out tha'
we had allowed National Convention
to be held in q confessedly insecure
building. So ! shouldered the brun
of it and refused to turn on the gas.
