ALL IN VAIN.

As desolate bird through the darkness its lost
way is wnging,
As hand that is helplessly raised when deaths
sickle is swinging,
So is life! Aye. the life that lends passion and
breath to my singing
AS nightingales song that is full of a sweetness
unspoken,
AS a spirit unbarring the gates of the skies for
token,
So is love! Ave. the love that shall fall when his
pinion is broken.
AS the tramp of the legons when trumpets their
challenge is sending
As the shout of the storm.god when lightnings the
black sky rending
So is power! Aye. the power that shall lie in the
dust at its ending.
So short is life; yet with space for all things
to forsake us
A bitter delusion. a dream from which naught can
Till deaths dogging footsteps at morn or at eve
shall o o'ertake us.

Saved from Disgrace.

Reading THE MIRROR of the 28th of last
month. the first article that came to my
notice was the Thanksgiving story. 1t
fercibly reminded me Of a story which
came within my own knowledge.
1t was in the town of G., that, a few
years ago, man entered one of the stores
to make purchase. His interest was
aroused by the bright. gentle face of the
young salesman who waited upon him. In
payment for the goods purchased, he ten
dered ten dollar bill; but when he counted
the change, he found it one dollar short.
The dispute that ensued brought the pro-
prietOr to the scene. The cashier who had
made the change insisted that he had
handed the salesman the exact amount, and
the latter in turn insisted that he had turned
it over to the customer as he received it
from the cashier. But the proprietor. who
was brutal fellow, did not credit this
statement made by the young man, and
directly had him taken to a private room
and searched. The result was. that dol
lar bill together with other small change
was found in his pocket. HereupOn he was
arrested. tried. found guilty, and sentenced
W IuIcc IlOuCIl , COLllUcIlcIlC Ill IIlC COuIlGv
Jail.
At the trial. the young man had confessed
to the theft of the dollar. but at the same
time insisted that it was his first misstep.
On the proprietor this prOtestatiOn was
lost, but the man who had made the pur-
chase, gave credence to his tale and visited
him during his stay in the jail. On the day
when the young mans time expired, this
worthy gentleman met him on the threSh-
old. and gave him position as clerk in his
office. The young man proved himself
worthy of the trust; by degrees more and
more confidence was placed in him. until at
last the keys of the safe and the books were
given into his charge.
He lived with his protector for several
years. and now he is the happy pOSSeSSOr
of wife and children.
Had he left the Jail, uncared for. he
would have drifted into deeper sin, and most
probably have gone to utter ruin. A mere
sentimental expression of sympathy from
this man to Frank. (the young mans name)
however, would have been of little or mo
use. But he did not stop there; he followed
it up by daily manifestations of trust and
care.
Many readers of THE. MIRROR, who are
interested in saving the fallen, have doubt
less suffered many and bitter disappoint-
ments. They have learned that to rescue a
is no easy task. This little story
will hint to them, that no mere words of
sympathy and confidence will do, but acts,
with patience and perseverance. are neces-
saryt to achieve success. WATERwHEEL.

PHENIX CLOSES THE CASE.

His Argument Against Professions,
MOT Opposed to Christianity. ~.
When was in Philadelphia in 1876, like
nearly every one in the city at that time.
visited the Centennial Exposition. and there,
ment known as the "Boomerang.'' To
those who do not know what a boomerang
is, give the following as it was told to me:
The boomerang is an instrument of war
fare used by savage tribes in Australia. and
has the property of returning to the hand
that throws it, and in the hands of a novice
is liable to come back and strike the thrOwer.
What brought the thought of the boom
erang to me at this time, was the reading
of the last article by Memo. He started
out in his first article in all humility and
gentleness of spirit; he ends in all wrath
and bitterness. The novice who threw the
boomerang was the cause of his own doom.
Reader of THE MIRROR. 20 back to the
issue of November. 7th. and you will see an
article entitled "Religion and the Convict. :"
Reread it, then take up the issue of De-
cember, 9th. and you will find an article
headed Memo Objects" Read it. and tell
Inc if you think the same hand could write
the two. Yet it is true, and the reader of
Character will have added another link to
his chain of experience after having read
both. If by any means l could have per-
suaded Memo to write an article in the same
spirit as that of his last. directly after writ
ing his first, my principal object would have
been accomplished without the stroke of a
pen on my part. My endeavor to, meta
phOrically speaking. sit down upon the great
idols, Policy and Sham, would have been
needless.
If Memo or any one else thinks that was
simply endeavoring to find something to
say, they will learn that as long as the
columns of THE MIRROR are open to me. l
will ALWAYS find something to say in that
cause.
Now to the question of misrepresenta-
tiOns: It will be remembered that l charged
him with quite a number of misrepresenta-
tiOns, and pointed out in every case how
was misrepresented. Instead of meeting
these charges he simply makes sweeping
denial and brings counter charge against
me. Denial is the poorest kind of argu-
ment. and this plain truth recommend to
the study of Memo. Let US see how misrep-
resented the matter: II have not bad to re
sort to misQuotation to sustain my position as
