there is the side presented when one is old
and wrinkled and rides in an emigrant
car. The same motive power propels both
and yet heaven and earth are not further
apart than the pretty girl in the Tam
OShanter and the worn and wearied
woman in the emigrant car. The one hips
the frets of life away as easily as she
brushes the dirt from her dress, the other
carries them as close to her heart as she
folds her puny babies, and knows no diff.
ference in the intimate companionship OF
either. During my recent trip TO the
East | went and sat down for an hour in
the emigrant car, just to see how it seemed,
and | saw phase of life that set me think
ing and made me sad. 1t is not wealth
alone that makes the difference between
the smooth-faced and happy girl in the
Pullman train and the wrinkled and dim
eyed woman in the second-class car. The
one was labeled rose from the start and
set to grow on sunny terrace; the other
never was labeled, but sprang up like
timothy seed in stony places, to be browsed
by cattle and crushed by wheels, nipped
by frost and cut back whenever it attained
an upward growth. What wonder that
the one developed fragrance and beauty
and the other premature blight and un-
sightliness?

AN HONEST BOY.

honest Merchants Employ.


honest Merchants Employ.
A gentleman from the country placed
his son with dry goods merchant in -
street. For a time all went ON well. At
length lady came to the store to purchase
a silk dress and the young man waited
upon her. The price demanded was agreed
to and be proceeded to fold the goods He
discovered, before he had finished, a flaw
in the silk and pointing 1t out to the lady
said; "Madam, deem it my duty to tell
you there is fracture in the silk"
OF course she did not take it.
The merchant overheard the remark,
says the New York Ledger, and imme-
diately wrote to the father of the young
man to come and take him home; "for, !"
said he, ''he will never make merchant"
The father, who had ever reposed con-
fidence in his son, was much grieved, and
hastened to the city to be informed of his
deficiencies. "Why will he not make
merchant ?" asked he.
Because he has no tact" was the
answer. "Only day or two ago he told
lady, voluntarily, who was buying silk
of him, that the goods were damaged, and
| lost the bargain. Purchasers must look
out for themselves. If they cannot dis
cover flaws, it would be foolishness of me
to tell them of their existence
"And is that all the fault ~ asked the
parent.

very well in other respects"

WHAT is BEAUTY,
Causes of Differences of Opinion Respect
ing Beauty.
(Erom the Baltimore Sun.l

From the Baltimore Sun.
There are few subjects that give rise to
more differences of opinion than the beauty
of individuals. The artists have standards
of beauty that serve well enough for the
ideal face on canvas, or for the marble
statue, but these standards have but little
application to the human countenance as
found in living men and women. Some of
the disagreements respecting professional
beauty arise from the fact that some people
regard the artistic standards, while others
care little for regularity of features, but
see beauty only in the mobile face and
expressive eyes. A woman may gain rep
utation as a beauty because of her regular
features and fine complexion, yet disap-
point thousands who go to see her, because
her beauty is of the marble statue and
lacks expression On the other hand, a
woman quite homely when her features
are in repose, may, by her vivacity and
charming expression when in animated con-
versation, earn the tributes paid to her
beauty. Hamlet says that "there is nothing
either good or bad but thinking makes it
so" and this is particularly true of beauty

Hank Hillard was born aud reared away

Social Distinctions,

From DR.. Charles W. Shields article on
"The Social Problem of Church Unity"
in the Century for September, we quote as
follows: GAS to the right Christian esti-
mate of social distinctions. for example,
nothing will ever be gained by telling only
half the truth because the other half may
be unpopular. 1t is simply degradation
of Holy Scripture, well meant, but
thoughtless and mischievous, to dwell upon
the incidents that our Savior was the son
of carpenter, that some of His apostles
were fishermen and His disciples taken
largely from the common people, and then
throw His glorious doctrine into the oppo-
site scale as mere makeweight for the
want of social culture. 1t is bartering with
the world upon its own terms, and no mar
vel if it be accepted as but the homage of
envy. Besides, it is not founded on facts.
The authors of such writings as the Cos
pels and Epistles could not have been
wholly illiterate and rude. The truth is,
that many of the distinctions of modern
society did not exist among the ancient
Hebrews. The prejudice against manual
labor was little known, and avocations
which are now simply respectable were
lHtu even uOuOidDiO. dooOSloiCo WIN i0hn
and learning. Every well-educated Jewish
youth was taught some handicraft, and
would have been disgraced without it. If
ST. Paul piled his trade of tent-making at
Corinth did he not show the culture of
scholar among the philosophers of Athens,
the breeding of gentleman at the court
of Festus, and the patrician spirit of
Roman citizen before the magistrates Of
Philippi?
even that divine Son of carpenter
himself, as his human genealogy shows,
came of a lineage older that the Pharaohs,
or the Cesars, and purer than Castilian or
Norman blood. At least few high-born
women and honorable personages were
among his followers, and stood by him
when the crowd deserted him. Though he
was meek and lowly in heart, his life was
ever gentle and noble. A man of sorrows,
yet at wedding-feast he converted water
into another beverage with exhilarating
properties A Saviour of harlots and lepers,
yet in his perfect wisdom he became an
honored guest at the banquets of the rich
and worldly, while the Pharisees sneered
at him as gluttonous man and wine
bibber In the sorrowful moment of part
ing from his disciples, with infinite graci-
business he took that cup which is the
pledge of friendship the world over, and
taught them how to drink it to his menu
ory. All through his insulted anguish,
from the garden to the cross, he bore him
self with unspeakaole dignity, forbearance
and gentleness. At length Jewish au-
sterity. Greeian culture, and Roman valor
alike did him homage. And ever since
among his followers the highest as well as
the lowest ranks have been represented
Kings and Queens, scholars and soldiers,
artists, poets, philosophers not many wise,
not many noble, but at least enough to
show that Christianity is of no class or
condition, and may as little become boast
of ignorance and vulgarity as naughty
claim of rank and culture"
