Have Nothing Concealed,

Always live so that there's nothing to be-
found out" writes a matron whose honest,
happy face procaims her follower of her
own advice. This advice is good for any
walk of life, and for single as well as mar.
ried people. But who does not know one or
more households in which Don't tell papa"
or 1--WE won't mention this to your father"
are phrases of frequent usef What an atmos-
phere of deceit and equivocation to throw
about child's life, and what must be the
consequence of such trainingf Some women
are cowardly by nature, and their first in
stinct is to conceal anything which would be
likely to cause themselves to be reproved or
blamed in any way. Other women become
SO because of administered rebukes. We once
knew a man whose pretty little wife never
dared tell him how much she paid for the
new bonnet and gown, even though they
were bought with 1.-The butter and egg
money" her own perquisites in the country
where she lived She usually deducted a GER
tain portion from the price paid for each
article; and she has even left the new bonnet
at neighbours for a few days after it was
bought, till her lord and master should have
become reconciled to the new gown This
breaking the matter to him gently was abso-
lutely necessary to save herself from a storm;
and, in our opinion, the deceit she practiced
will be added to his account in the big book
and not to hers
But there are other things, not so trifing,
which are concealed by the husband from
the wife or the wife from the husband The
conscience may become dulled or scared, so
that it no longer troubles one; but the horror
and constant fear Of discovery, to say moth

from ever repeating an offerse Of this sort or
committing any other.-Jean Kincaid in

street Pictures In Venice.

Among the crowds which gather on St
Marks piazza in the lovely spring afternoons
are women quite as beautiful as those which
smile on you from the canvas of the old
painters. They are fond of strange tints,
odd shadeSiof red, green and blue; they wear,
some of them, old fashioned three cornered
shawls of fine patterns and bold colors, pre-
senting very picturesque appearance. Many
Of the children are remarkably pretty They
look out with their large eyes from under their
tangled, curly locks, like so many cherubs
lifted with half naked bodies. They are very
thievish, too, and one has to be very watch
full of them. That most of them are beggars
will be no news to your readers If you go
in the evening TO eat an ice or take a cup OF
coffee at Florian's in St Marks square,
these soft voiced, ragged little thieves come
creeping up to you with their bright faces,
pointing to their red ripe mouths to tell you
they are hungry, offering matches for sale or
asking you for the end of your cigar, your
coffee, your cake. But they must be watched
all the time, for they will steal whatever they
lay their hands on.--Venice Cor. Providence

Who brings my heart new courage, hope and rest;
In her brave eyes dwes calm for my despair,
And then seem, while fondly gazing there,

And youths volcanic tidal wave of fire

Her beauty stirs my heart TO maddening strife,
And all the tiger in my blood is rife;

The Fighting Chaplain.

Many of the 7th regiment boys hadn't
the remotest conception that they had
such fighter as DIR. }. r. Paxton for
chaplain. They learned it for the first
time on Sunday evening, when DR..
Paxton, in his sermon, modestly told
them that of regiment of l03 that
faced the iron hail of Gettysburg only
thirteen came out alive, and he was
one of the singularly fortunate num-
ber. AFTER that experience" said
one of the enthusiastic soldier boys,
s'the doctor will be invited to a COM
mers, and he will be as welcome as
fresh air, and more so.'' For the ben
eft of DR.. Paxton, it is stated that
commers is beer feast borrowed from
the Germans. The brave soldier boy
intended no disrespect to the clergy
man. He apparently had an enthusi-
astic idea that one who had come out
Gettysburg unharmed might venture
to attend a commers ana come out
alive. 1t was simple tribute to the
fighting chaplain of the gorgeous 7th.

A JudiciOuS EnliSSary.

Once upon time an ambitious man
who aspired to be governor of Little
Rhody," sat down to count all posi-
bic votes. The prospect OF his cleo
ton was dubious, but there came to
his memory the political proverb cur
rent In the old hay state. They say
there "As Hull goes, so goes Massachu-
setts." The candidate then remem-
bered this tiny dot in the ocean too
often neglected, and trusty emissary
was sent over with $500 to be Judi
clously expended. Masking his pur-
pose under various pretexts.
the gentleman surveyed the ground
and discovered that the one topic
of general interest was the leaky roof
of the Center church. To the pious
lslanGers-that was before summer
travel intruded-their church was the
one precious possession, but they
were too poor to properly repair the
sanctuary. and a meeting was called
to raise funds for simply patching the
roof. The aforesaid emissary attend
ed the meeting. Devoutly he listened
to prayer and speech, and then, rising
as if under the influence OF uncontrol-
able emotion, he spoke with o broken
voice after this manner:
"My friends am a stranger among
you, and have confession to make.
| came to this meeting moved alone
by curiosity; but, as Isat among you.
hearing your expressions of earnest
faith, l have been controlled by senti-
ments unknown before. l had never
realized how much ones creed could
influence ones life until now. and l
begin to see dimiy how wrongly Ihave
estimated the consultations of religion.

AS have listened to you here l have
realized my wickedness, and | desire
now to make whatever reparation I
may. Twas exceedingly anxious that
in the coming election Mr.. - should
succeed; | knew that ready money
was scarce upon your island, and I
came herewith shame | confess it
to buy your votes. Pardon me for
the vile thought, and pray for me,
that ! may be forgivenn' Another
eulp, and then: "Here, my friends, I
give you for repairing this sanctuary
the money had intended to use for
q vile purpose, and when l shall tell
my friend Mr.. -, what | have
done, | am sure that he will approve.
Like yourselves, he is an earnest Bap-
tist, and he can t1ust his election to
that allwise Providence which moves
in q mysterious way. Will some
brother take charge OF this money?"
A"brother" came forward and receiv-
Ell q heavy bag with musically clink-
ing contents, while the little congreea-
tion looked as awestruek as Belshaz-
zar's guests when the .wondrous
words of doom were written on the
palace wall. -
The emissary sat with bowed head,
and handkerchief pressed close to
presumably weeping optics. When
the service was over, hard, honest
hands gave the stranger fraternal
grip, and the real tears dimmed manv
pious eyes. The emissary went back
to Providence; the Center church was
repaired, and-every mothers son on
the island voted for the emissary's

A Brave Soldiers Fall.

One of the first to answer the bugle
call ITO arms" in behalf of the South
ern cause in 1861 was young impet-
uous Frenchmen, who had but recent
ly landed in New Orleans. Hot. blooded
and enthusiastic, with Frenchman's
love of military glory, he entered the
army as a private and fought through
the malaria breeding swamps and
marshes with bravery that soon won
him distinction. When the Southern
army laid down their arms at the close
of the war d. Zante wore the golden
epaulets of Lieutenant Colonel.
Like many who struggled for the
"Lost Cause" Zante made his way to
California, and with the fragments of
his paternal fortune established him
self in the lamp manufacturing and
importing business. Fortune smiled
on him and he became wealthy.
When the Franco Prussian war
broke out and the fate of his "la belle
France" seemed uncertain, he aban-
doned his business and fastened to
Paris. Here again he buckled on his
armor and faced the Teuton foe
Through the weary days of uncertain
fortune he kept up a brave heart, and
his fearless face gave courage to his
disheartened comrades in arms. The
fall of Sedan, the surrender of Paris,
served but to make him more resolute
for his country's cause. 1t was no use
however. for the decree had been
made, and, broken down in health and
spirit, Zante returned to San Francisco.
His ability and energy weakened,
through the privations of his many
campaigns, he could no longer wrestle
against the keen competition Of his
business rivals, and his accumulation
of wealth was rapidly dissipated.
For the last few years he has been
occupying small store on Jessie
street, near Third, and has existed by
doing small repairs on the lamps Of
the neighborhood. His intellect ha,
been gradually decaying, and for the
last two years ne has daily, at sun-up,
answered an imaginary reveille. Neatly
dressed and cleanly-shaven, with a
broomstick for q gun, he would 60
