Mrs. OllpnanC asks Us lnere any
shock, any pang that life can give,
equal to that of suddenly perceiving
a touch of baseness; u failure of honor
q lower level of moral feeling, in those
who are most dear to us? ?" When 1.-THE
prepossessions of affection" are thus
driven away, only the heart knows OF
can know its bitterness. Oh, do not
wing this barbed arrow at the bosom
of love
Is there other pain equal to this
The ones most dear to us may disap'
point our ambition, they may not have
the beauty nor the brilliancy that we
covet for them, yet by their gentleness
or nobility of character; by their un-
selfshness or helpful kindness make
it impossible for US not to love them.
The disappointment of ambition is
gradually dulled, the thing desired
grows less important in our eyes
what if our dear one does not shine in
the eyes of the world, there remains
the conviction that the cherished heart
is pure, and true to every noble senti-
ment. From this there grows better,
more enduring love than could come
from the mere qualification of our am
bitions, generous though they may be.
But that "touch of basenessn in the
one we love that trace of meanness
Better far one act of passionate wick
edness than this daily dying of the
heart-sweet love slain by long-lived
torture. Better far to lose from earth
ly sight the one we love than see that
one grow unresponsive to noble emo
tions, uncomprehending of truth in
it's simplicity, unbelieving Of spon-
taneous unselfishness and disinterest-
ed generosity. Easier far to forgive
some one rash act, some crowning
deed of evil, to love through all, than
live in forced companionship with
one in whom a ''touch of baseness''
mars all we would hold dear.
There is saying of a well-known
man which mayhap angers many.
"Quit your meanness," says he. Not
quit your generous vices" nor your
"noble sports" nor your ''amiable
weaknesses" but "your meanness."
1t is this meanness that makes misery,
that hurts deepest, that is hardest to
fight against. "Quit your meanuess," "
reiterates Sam Jones-let's all try to
find our meanness and leave it off, and
pray that it may be impossible to us to
do a mean thing.
It is authoritatively announced
that our learned Book Editor, Rev.
w. P. Harrison, d. D, is preparing
for publication a new Biblical and
Theological Dictionary, to be issued by
our Publishing House. Referring to it
the editor says: "The theological ar
ticles of Mr.. Watson will be retained,
of course, and the editor will be care
full to admit nothing of eXceptionable
character into the volume" We are
not sure that the retention Of all of Mr..
Watson's articles on theology is best,
and many of them should be revised
for new work.-CentrdI Methodist.
Neither are we sure concerning the
same thing. Our first reading of Wat
sons Institutes, more than forty years
ago, left the impressien-npw stronger
than then-thatt that great work would
have been greater one if some parts
in it had been left out.-ED. G. n.

bOuntieS are given in the shape of draw

and what is natural ~cheapness, would
make the imposition of accurately counter

next place, the political dangers of impOs-

What may be the result of the abolition
of b~ounties on the English sugar-trade, it
is difficult to see. We confess that we
are far from sure that the price Of sugar
will be materially increased. The prOduc-
ton of sugar is so enormous, and the free
market so small, that in England at least
the competition must always he severe.
The fearS, then, that the great industries

we fancy, alarm us very greatly.

The Continental situation has be-

Ell any step to pacific tie alarm in Eas-

hands that the preparations in Russian
and Austrian Poland have become
very large. The German military
writers affirm that 200, 600 men have

10000 are cavalry, and that new

Lord Randolph Churchill has gone
TO ST. Petersburg, and as the weather
is severe, and he is never very strong,
all kinds Of gossip is current us to his
motives. He intends. it is reported,
TO explain to the Car than even if
Lord Salisbury %tavours the League of
Peace, the English people do not,
and that he will, if necessary, stir
them up to refuse any interference in
Continental affairs. According to a
mother account, he is to explain to the
Gar EagIand'> real IDEAS upon Bull
garia and according to a third, he
only intends to ascertain on the spot
the drift of Russian ideas as 10 war
or peace. Aov one of these explana-
tons is possible, but the first two
greatly exaggerate the influence of
Lord Randolph Churchill. All ex-
prrlence shows that Il democracy
either follows its leaders upon foreign
affairs, which is It's usual course, or
follows some instructive impulse of It's
own, often, but not always, a wise
one. We very much doubt if Lord
Randolph will commit the uupardon-
able offence Of intriguing in a foreign
Court against The policy of his own
Government, he knowing quite we'll
that the Grown, which, endures, would
punish him some day or other; and
think it much more probable that he
has gone TO learn, it he can, at first
hand what all these war rumours

Mr.. E. Lyulph Stanley, appointed
to investigate the affairs of the Car
diff Savings-Bank, has sent in to the
Treasury a most hopeless report. He
finds that the Bank had been defrnud.
ed by its actuary, Mr., II. E. Williams,
for twenty years. His mode of oper-
alton was TO receive sums himself,
often after hours, and faIsity the pay
ments upon them. This process must
have been detected, but that the
auditors, who only received originally
CT los. a year, afterwards increased
to G25 and EDS a yenr. made a pure
ly nominal audit, or when they made
adverse remarks, as one auditor did,
allowed the actuary to suppress them.
The managers and trustees, who.
should have checked both actuary and
auditor, ntirelynegIected their duties.
One OF them for years merely copied
out, after hours, statements furnished
him by the actuary. The amounts
received from depositors were greatly
III excess OF the legal limit, and when
the Bank failed, the deficiency to be
made up exceeded 937, 900. A COM
position at the rate of lis. Sd. in the
G1 was made with the depositors,
but Mr.. Lyulph Stanley evidently
thinks that the 'lepositors acted in
ignorance, and that many of the
managers and trustees are. liable to
heavy demands. He recommends
that, as there are now Post Office
savings banks, subsidies TO other
savings banks should cease. Clearly
tho choice lies between that and the
appointment of a. State auditor.
Managers and trustees, selected only
for local position, cannot and will not
check complicated accounts. =. -

PRETTY TYPE WRITERS.
A Business Man Says That heir
Days are Numbered.

The other day went TO type-writ-
ing school and 1 witnessed the neglect
of plain girl who evidently found it
difficult to conceal her modification,
writes Clara Belle in the Philadelphia
Pfess. was in the room with the pro
prietor when he asked her to come in.
81 suppose there is no use my asking
you, SIR" she said, "but since l have
waited, will say am seeking occups-
ton as typewriter"
"Do you understand the business?''
he asked.
81 am said to be very rapid" said
she. II have been five years at the
calling"
"Will you accept SIS week to act as
stenographer and Typewriter to Vice
President So-and SO, of the - oil
company"
Her eyes changed color. They
frightened almost into flame.
Fifteen col ars!" she said; II only
got $40, sir, and then only for year
before the firm [ was with failed"
The arrangement or bargain was
quickly made. Before she left, the
glrl asked: will you tell me why you
saw me last, though [ was the first to
ccme!"
"I'd rather not ;" said the employer.
"Did all the others secure places?
she asked.
No one but you was TAKEN" he said.
She went away wondering. When
she had gone the proprietor turned to
| hof 10 iuo
and sensible girl. She thought she
was left 70 the last because her face and
dress are plain. She is right. This is
the day of the homely girl. The
beauty, the belle, the dressy girl all are
at discount in this business, and we
have resolved never to employ another
pretty girl if we can employ homely
one."
The reason is as plain as the nose on
your face" ne continued; "the wives
have tnterferred. E,ery married man
is visited at his Office by his wife, more
or less frequently. If she finds him
elbow to elbow or face to face with a
pretty coquette every time she comes,
she is certain to make Lite more or less
unpleasant for him. Some women in
such cases take it out at home, as the
saving goes, but | have had men tell
me that their wives were forever pop
ping in On them, and practically never
missed a day without call at their
offices. These business men, nearly
all men pick up a bouquet or box OF
candy or some little knick. knack now
and then to gladden. the life of the girl
at their elbow. Imagine the state OF
the wife who finds that the flowers she
sees on her husbands desk were pu'
there by him, when he has told her ter
thousand times that he has hatec
flowers from infancy Oh, no; there
is no show for the pretty girl in bust
ness to-day. Those who got places
| long ago are being crowded out, ant
new ones are being taken on"
