APPEL THE scAB.

Appel the scab at the corner Of
Sixteenth and Larimer is keeping
up his reputation for scabbiness.
The recently formed clerks as
ISOLATION received into its mem
bership several of Appel's clerks.
1t was matter for surprise to the
promoters of the association to
find that the scab clothier allowed
his clerks to join, but the mystery
has been at least partially ex-
planned.
1t appears that Appel desired
to get an understrapper of his into
the clerks organization in order to
oppose men who have made i,
warm for the scab in the past; and
also to create dissension and il
possible disrupt the now flourish.

tempt to create dissension failed
and the tool who made the at
tempt was badly sat upon. BAT
fed in his scheme, Appel the scab
as stated by one of his men, de-
mands of his clerks that they leave
the clerks association and com
pels each of them to sign an agree
ment to that effect or leave hi:
employ.
This action is but in accordance
and in keeping with the pas
record OF this scabby Appel. He
has been we'll let alone by the
workingmen for some time back

his recent action will cost him Z

ACTS of the Anti-Slavery Apos-
ties" by Parker PilIsbury; Con-
cord, New Hampshire.
This is a book full of interest to
the reformers of to-day. AS the
title indicates it has to do with
the life and times of some of the
heroes whose sacrifice brought
freedom to the negro. The parts
played in the anti-slavery agitation
by Garrison, Nathaniel Peabody
Rogers and their contemporaries
are dwelt upon FROM the stand
point of the friendly historian who,
although having taken an import
ant part in the drama of those
trying times, modestly keeps in
the background.
Personally speaking, the book
is, as we'll as the kindly letter
which came with undeserved
praise from the venerable author,
highly priced for its intrinsic worth
as a compilation of facts con-
nected with an agitation carried
on by band Of men whose peers
in point of moral courage the
the world has never produced.
The experiences of Garrison
and Pillsbury with mobs ofchurch
people proves that what the So
cialistic reformers of to-day claim
regarding the essentially corrupt,
degraded character of modern
churches is but the re-echo of the
voices of the agitators who en-
tered the crusade against human
slavery little over half century
ago.
The Garrisons, Peabodys and
Pillsburys of those days con-
demned the church, as is proven
in Parker Pillsbury's book, as

Treachery is dctestable fault;
therefore let nothing tempt you to
betray secret conided TO your
honor. What if the friend who
once trusted you, and told you all
the secrets of his heart, has become
your enemy? You are still bound
to keep your word inviolate, and pre-
serve locked in your heart the se'
.crets confidentiaIly made known to
you. A man of principle will never
betray an enemy. He holds it
Christian duty never to reveal what
in good faith was placed in his keep
ing. While the Albanians were at
war With Philip, king of Macedon,
they intercepted letter that the
king had written to his wife Olym
pia. 1t was returned unopened, that
it might not be read in public, their
laws forbidding them to reveal a Sc
cret. Among the Egyptians it was
criminal offence to divulge a Sc.
cret. A priest who had been found
guilty cf the offence was ordered to
leave the country. Have you anoth-
er's secret in your keeping? Then
reveal it not for the world. A con-
fiding friend may tell you hun.
dred things which if whispered
abroad would bring him into con-
tempt and ridicule, and injure his
character through life. = f'''
No one is so upright that he may
not have committed some ungentle-
manly act or some impure offence,
which may have been done years
ago, before the individuals charac-
ter was formed, and before lie had
wife and children. Would it not be
proclamation of the most social du-
ties, in fit of anger, or out of NAL
ice or revenge, to diyulge secret
like this? A mans enemies would
not care whether it was the fault of
his thoughtless youth or his matur-
er years, so long as they could make
handle of it to his injury, and
thus effect their purpose. Be care
ful then never, under any consider
alton whatever, to repeat what has
been whispered to you in the conf
dence Of friendship. A betrayer of
secrets is fit only for the society of
the low and vile. Remember, for
instance, if you have ever been
Mason or Odd Fellow, and, through
dislike for either institution, have
Identified, how inviolate you keep
the secrets once confided to you,
even from the wife of your bosom,
and let the same rule apply to your
quondam friends. &ef

A Warning.

The modes Of deaths approach
are various, and statistics show con-
clusively that more persons die from
disease of the Throat and Lungs
than any other. tits probable that
everyone, without exception, receives
vast numbers of Tubercle Germs in
to the system and where these germs
fall upon suitable soil they start in
to life and develop, at first slowly
and is shown by slight tickling
sensation in the throat and If allow
ed to continue their ravages they
extend to the lungs producing Con-
sumption and to the head, causing
Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous
and il allowed to proceed will in
time cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing
a cold to 60 without attention is
dangerous and may lose your life.
AS soon as you foel that something
is wrong with your Throat, Lungs
or Nostrils, obtain bottle Of Bo-
schee's German Syrup. 1t will give
you immediate relief. Jy27-eow.

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS.


People who have warm friends
are healthier and happier than those
who have none. A single real friend
is treasure worth more than gold
or precious stones. Money can buy
many things, good and evil. All
the wealth Of a world could not buy
a friend or pay for the loss OF one.
81 have only wanted one thing to
make me happy" Haz.itt writes,
"but wanting that, have wanted ev-
erytbing." And again, "My heart
shut up in a prison.house Of this
rude clay, has never found, nor will
it ever 1nd. a heart too many" We
are the weakest Of spendthrifts IL
we let one friend drop Off through
inattention, or let one push away
ansther;, orifwe hold aloof from one
through petty Jealousy or needless
slight or roughness. Would you
throw away diamond because it
prickcd you ? One good friend is
not to be weighed against tho jew
els Of the earth. s-a

CHURCHES ON DRESS PA
RADE.
Baltimore Sun, July IS.

The Rev. A. c. Dixon, pastor Of
Emmanuel Baptist Church, said yes
terday in the course of his sermon
on the "The Churches of the City"
that many worldly men do not re-
spect the Church today, because they
can see no difference between them
selves and those who profess to be
Christians, and they know that there
ought to be difference. e
In times past it was the policy Of
the Devil to kill Christians by bnrn-
ing them at the stake. Now, his
policy has changed, and he is anx-
ious to join the Church, and be as
respectable as an angel of light. 1t
simply means throwing the cloak Of
religion over life of worldliness.
The attempt to adapt the religion
of Jesus to the tastes of the world is
like mixing fire and water-you
spoil the water and put out the fire.
An equally fatal mistake is in trying
to adapt the teachings of the Bible
to the spirit of the age. The pulpit
should mould the age, and not the
age the pulpit. Too many Of our
churches ars soldiers on dress parade
afraid that they may soil their
good clothes. What we need is the
enthusiasm of the charge, which
thinks not of looks, but of the enc
mics to be conquered and the victo-
ry to he won. 4
Some churches measure their pros
perity by the amount of money they
can raise, without being particular
at all as to the methods used in
raising it. Fairs and festivals, with
their money getting tricks, are the
pets of such churches. They, Of
course, rent pews, and, it may be,
like certain church in New York,
they announce in their Sunday
schools that poor children can find
more congenial surroundings else
where. The rich men are willing, in
a condescending sort of way, to
build chapels for the poor, provided
they can be relieved Of their pres
ence in the main church. 81.
They don't like the odors OF pow
erty. They think that it is better
anyhow for rich people to be togeth-
er, and the poor to be together.
They believe in the home idea of
the Church, and it is necessary in
order to carry out that idea that the
members should be congenial.
The Bible nowhere calls the
Church home. 1t is a vineyard,
and the members are laborers. 1t
is an army, and its members are
soldiers. But they would have it
home, and its members sleepers and
eaters, for the home is the best place
for sleeping and eating. Mr.. Dixon
then strongly advocated free pews
in all the churches as means Of in
creasing the work of Christianity.

THE TWO woRKMEN,

A mans daily life Is the best test
OF his moral and social state. Take
two men, for instance, both working
at the same trade and earning the
same money; how different may be
their actual conditions! The one
looks free man; the other slave.
The one lives in neat cottEge; the
other in q mud hovel. The one has
always decent coat to his back;
the other is in rags. The children
of the one are clean, well dressed,
and NJ school,; the children of the
other are dirty, filthy, and often in
the gutter. The one possesses the
ordinary comforts of life, ms well as
many of its pleasures and convent
enccs.-perhaps a well chosen libra
ry; the other has few OF the COM
forts Of life, certainly no pleasures,
nor enjoyments, nor books. And yet
these two men earn the same wages.
What is the cause Of the difference
between them?
