Two teachers of languages were
discussing matters and things rela-

of each month ?" asked one of
them. "No, they do not" was the
reply. ~ often have to wait for
weeks and weeks before I get my
pay, and sometimes don't get it at
all. Yon can't well dun the parents
for the money" Why don't you d.

STRIKING RessMR.AN


A Wash ,ng,on Preceptor Who Loo az
actiy Like James G. Blaine.
One OF the most striking case OF resem
blalce is one WHICH have never secn mon
toned in public PRINT, says "a Washington
CORES pondenl of the Pittsburgh DS|d'h
The famous man from Name has a double
here IN Washington. He Is Prof Charles
B. Young, who for more than twenty hre
years mas been prominently identified with
the educational interests OF the capital.
Mr.. Young bears u striking resemblance 10
Mr.. Blame. He is somewhat sllgnter IN
form and smaller in face than the Plumed
Knight, but the similarity is very notice
able HIS resemblance to 50 famous char
acter has caused Prof. Young some amuse-
ment and 10 end of embarrassment.
While waiting to board train at New
Brunswick, N. j., while Garfield lay dying
at Elberon, he was approached by q New
Brunswlcker, who, with dofied hat, STAN
merlngly said:
"'Scuse me, Mr.. Secretary, but, as heard
you were in Elberon to-day, won't you please
tell me how The President is.'
~ am not MIR Secretary my good
man." said the professor, land haven't
Deem IN ElDerOu tOOdy.
"That's all righu, sir. understand that
you want to travel iucog. just tell me how
he is and won't give you away"
81 really don't know how the President
is, and am not Mr.. Blaine"
The man doubtingly retired to group
OF associates near by, and having spoken to
them was greeted with jeers and the re-
mark that he was dummy and that Blaine
had bamboozled him. The man was so net
tied at the chatting that he returned and
said "that his fellow-townsman were very
anxious to know how the President was, and
-" but the train arrived at that moment.
The professor hurried aboard, and as the
train moved away was greeted with ring
ing cheer tor "James G. Blame"
Perhaps Prof. Yolng's most singular eA
perience was the one that occurred several
years ago, when Mr. Blame was Secretary
| of State and living in Washington. He
called at the Blame house one evening te
see the Secretary on business. One mo-
ment after he entered the drawing room
Mr. Blaine, in response TO the card he hat
received from the visitor, opened the fold
ing-doors and asked his visitor to remain {
few minutes, as he was then bpsily en-
gagged with previous caller. Mrs Blame
with whom tue professor mad q pleasan
acquaintance, entered the room in shor
time, aud, with slight glance at its occu
pant, walked to The window Prof. Youns
felt hurt at what he supposed was hi
hostess forgetfulness. When he mad
himself known, Mrs Blaine admitted he
amazeInent by saying:
"Why, l thought you were Mr.. Blame
brother"
81 have been taken for your distinguishes
husband, but never before for his brother,
said Mr.. Young.
"Well, professor, you might very easi
be taken for either of them," said the lady
and the preceptor of youth joined his ia
nous double.

Frankness and Harshness.

How often bitter speech, which
has caused keen pain to the nearer,
has been followed by such words as
these, as if in justification of the I'M
kindness shown: "I'm a plain,
blunt person, and / have to speak
out just what think. People must
take me as the Lord made me-"
Anything meaner than such an
attempt to throw the responsibility
for ones ugliness of temper Off
lpon the Lord, it would be hard to
imagine. Frankness of speech is
one thing, but harshness is a very
different thing. The Lord never
endowed any man with such a dis
position, or put him in such circum.
stances, that he was obliged to make
singing, cruel remarks. Some
people have more difficulty than
others in being sweet-tempered and
Nindly spoken; but when one fails
it is his own fault.-WOrk at Home.

better citizen from turning infidel
or atheist? We have known of no
instance of the kind. We certainly
have seen many instances to the
contrary. A young man coming tc

having entered upon downward
career than by turning atheist or
