Prophecy and isenlv.

/ do not believe that it is possible to es-
tablish institutions that will be permanent
based upon the votes of people counted by
the head. That proceeds upon the suppo-
sition that the rich and the poor, the wise
and the ignorant, the virtuous and the
vicious are all counted as equal and en-
dowed with equal political power. That
is the fatal vice of your institutions that
Jefferson founded. Now your country can
prosper so long as you have great spaces of
unoccupied land great West for your
surplus population; but the time will come
in your history when New England will
be as thickly populated as Old England ;
when there will be no more fertile, unoc-
cupied lands for your expanding popula-
ton. Then will come the real strain and
test of your institutions. There will be
periods of scarcity and distress. Thousands
of laborers will be out of work, and men
will begin to say there is no justice in al
lowing one man to have million while
another has not meal no justice in let
ting one man ride in his carriage and dine
sumptuously while another hears his chill
dren cry for bread and when that hour
comes your Government will be brought
t. lis final and fatal test.-Lord Macaulays
Letter.

PRESIDENT GARr1Enn,s REPLY

With my whole soul repel the indict-
ment. Every instinct and conviction of
my life denounces the prophecy as false.
Macaulay did not know, and it is hardly
possible for any one reared under monarch
ial institutions to understand that here, in
America, there are no fixed and perina-
nent classes. Our society does not resem-
bic the crust of the earth with its i'm
passable barriers of rock; but resembles
rather the waters of the mighty sea, deep,
broad and boundless, but yet so free in ali
its parts that the drop which mingles with
the sands at the bottom is free to rise
through all the mass of waters till it
flashes in the light on the crest of the
highest wave.

cred the whole land, and that there was not a
single flower in sight but itself. And it half
closed its leaves in terror and the dsmay of lone
illness. But that instant it remembered what the
other flower used to say; and it said to itself,
otis all right, will be what can" And thereon
it yielded to the wind, dropped it's head to the
earth, and looked no more on the sky but on the
snow. And straightway the wind stopped and the
cold died away, and the snow sparkled like pearls
and diamonds; and the flower knew that it was
the holding of its head up that had hurt it so for
that its body came of the snow, and that its name
was Snowdrop. And SO it said once more, otis
all rght!' and waited in perfect peace. All the
rest it needed was to hang its head after its
nature.
"And what became of the other?" asked Harry
III haven't done with this one yet, said Hugh.
81 only told you it was waiting. One day pale,
sad looking girl, with thin face, large eyes, and
long, white hands, came, hanging her head like
the snowdrop, along the snow where the flower
grew She spied it, smiled joyously, and saying,
An my little sister, are you come? stopped and
plucked the snowdrop. 1t trembed and died in
her hand; which was a heavenly death for snow
drop; for had it not cast CLEAN of summer, pale
as it had been itself, upon the heart of sick
girl?"
"And the other?" repeated Harry.
"Ihe other had long time to wait; but it did
grow one of the loveliest roses ever seen. And at
last it had the highest honor ever granted to a
flower; which was to be placed by a loving mother
upon the breast of her little child, she arrayed
it for its entrance into the heavenly Kingdom

Long, long ago, two seeds lay beside each other

wearisome; and to beguile the time, the one

"What are you going to be?' said the one.

Everybody will love me then"
'It's all right whispered the second; and
that was all he could say for somehow, when he
had said that he felt as if all the words in the
world were used up. SO they were silent again
for day or two.
"Oh dear!" cried the first, III have had some

"Good-by" repeated the other, and lay still

that was! 1t was rather cold, but so refreshing
The flower could see nothing, for it was not quite

their eyes come-that is, till they open their bios

meaning to see the sky the first thing, and leave
the earth quite behind as well as beneath it, But
somehow or other, though why it could not tell, it
felt very much inclined to cry. At length it
opened its eye 1t was morning, and the sky was
over its head but, alas! itself was no rose-only

" BE YOU A LADY2n

Little acts of courtesy put the sunshine into life
Who has not felt the day brighten from kindly
act done them, or even from a cheerful good
morning?
The following pretty anecdote speaks for itself;
As young lady walked hurredly down State
street on a bleak November day, her attention was
attracted to deformed boy coming toward her
carrying several bundles. He was thinly clad,
twisted his limbs most strangely as he walked and
looked before him with vacant stare Just be-
fore the cripple reached the brisk pedestrian he
stumbled and dropped one bundle, which broke
open and emptied string of sausages on the side
walk
One Or two richly dressed ladies drew their
skirts aside as they passed, one of them ex-
claimed, elbow awkward" A lad stood grinning
at the mishap, and schoolgirl, amused by the
boys looks and blank dismay, gave vent to her
feelings in half suppressed laugh, and then went
on without taking any further interest.
All this increased the boy embarrassment He
stopped to pick up the sausages only to let fall
another parcel, when, in despair, he stood and
looked at his lost spoils. In an instant the bright
faced stranger stepped to the boys side, and in
tone of thorough kindness said, 'Let me hold
those other bundles while you pick up what you
have lost. !"
In dumb establishment the cripple handed all he
had to the young Samaritan, and devoted himself
to securing his cherished sausages. When these
were again strongly tied in the coarse, torn wrap
per- her skillful hands replaced the parcels on his
scrawny arms, as she bestowed on him smile of
encouragement and said 81 hope you haven't far
to go.'
The poor fellow seemed scarcely to hear the
girls pleasant words; but looking at her with the
same vacant STARE he said, 'Be you a lady,"
81 hope so; try to be-" was the surprised re-
sponse
81 was kind of hoping you wasn't"
"Why?" asked the listener her curiosity quite
aroused.
"Cause Eve seen such as called themselves
ladies, but they never spoke kind and pleasant to
boys like me, 'cepting to grand uns. l guess
there's two kinds-them~ as thinks theys ladies
and isn't, and them as what tries to be and s.

A Boys SUGGESTION.

People talk about the beauty
OF lad that never smokes,
And never plays game of cards
And always minds his folks.
What manly looking fellow
lie will make in manhood's years!
With healthy constitution
And heart that has no fears,
This kind Of talk Is good enough
For anyone to teach
II folks would only bring to mind
TO "practice what you preach"
I've had the deacon lecture me
On things like this enough,
While with the other hand he'd take
Another pinch of snuff.
And then he'd tell me, solemnly,
With face as long again,
TO remember, while at play,
That the boys will make the men.
Now to those who're always talking
With an everlasting noise,
I'd say, to make us good or bad,
'fis the men that make the boys.
II the people round about us
Set examples good enough,
Boys who now are closely watching,
Would not drink nor chew nor snuff.
