CONDITIONS OF GOOD SUCCESS.

There are but comparatively few people
who are Indifferent to the idea Of success. In-
deed the vast majority of people make more
or less effort to succeed in some line Of en-
deavor to which their tastes and talelts in
cliLe them. 1t is true, however, that many
do not aim to attain good .success-success
in the best and noblest sense of the word. 1t
is one thing to succeed In the prosecution Oh
some purpose, and quite another thing to
succeed in the line of high principles and
pure purposes. Referring now to divine
things and mans relation to them We call
attention to some vital conditions Of good
success. To this end, let us look at text.
found in Psalm cxi. 10, which reads thus:
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning. OF
wisdom: good understandinghaye all they
that do his commandments A margina
standing" is this: s'good success" Trans
ferrins this phrase to the bcdy OF the text,
it wonld read thus: "Good success have all
thev that do his commandments Here
are given some very important conditions OF
good success. In the first place the "fear OF
the Lordr must be regarded as primary
consideration. II it he said that men succeed,
without having the fear Of the Lord in their
hearts, we reply that it cannot be fairly de,
nominated good success In any noble ana
enduring sense. Whatever success they may
have is Of merely earthly and temporary
nature, and it confers no deep spiritual good
upon themselves and others. We must insist,
therefore, that one Of the vital conditions,
and indeed primary one. Of good success,
is the tender and loving fear of the Lord.
We do not say that the success is always
what one would naturally admire, or be
delighted With; that Is the natural heart
might prefer different style of success; but
it is really good success. because it leads one
TO acceptablv love God and effectively
serve him. But note the next condition OF
good success, which is this: The doing OF
Gods commandments. 1t is not the repeat.
ing of the Ten Commandments, and all
others besides, but the doing Of theme
which constitutes the Cond.t Nor is
it the merely mechanical doing of the
commandments of God, but rather the
loving. steady and delightful doing of them,
which is the real condition Of good success.
They may be quite imperfectly done; but II
the heart yearn to do them, as best it can,
the condition Is acceptably met, and good
success is surely attained The fearing, be-
leving deer succeeds in pleasing God and

ertine 4 mighty and many-sided influence.
God always blesses, with good success. that
soul who exercises tilial fear towards him,
and Lovingly seeks with all of his might. to
do whatever he commands him. The only
way to have truly good success-a success
which will run into eternity. is to do as God

60 to your mother now"
Mrs. Gaylord's pillow was wet with
tears that night, but they were the tears
of gratitude, and peace came to her like
ray of hope that never leaves a somber
shadow, from the giver of every good
and perfect gift.
The remainder of this story is quickly
told. What Elizabeth said to her father
will never be repeated in words, but it
had its full and perfect effect. She re-
turned to young Gaylord the next cven-
ing, and this is what she said to him:
"William, my mission has been sue
cess. l believed you and know that
you told me the truth. You are q free
man. Before 1 rested last night my father,
confronted with your words, confessed
all. I went with him to the bank to-day
and faced the directors with him. His
head was only one of all the rest that
burned suffused with shsme. demanded
your freedom, and my father then ad-
mitted that the trust had advanced again
and that the bank was now as solvent as
it ever had been. Even your investment
had made no loss. Indeed, there was
something said about the profits gained,
and then demanded a promise from each
separate individual that not one penny of
this gain should ever be touched by
single officer of the bank. The promise
was made, aud, William, you will prom
Use, too2 I know, my love, you will"
And as he promised her tears mingled
with his own, while Mrs. Gaylord lifted
up her voice from a heart overAowing
with gratitude to Him who has promised
to be mindful of the widows son.
William Gaylord and Elizabeth Dalow,
his wife, are living in the West, happy
and as nearly we'll contented as low
ing man and wife can be, she still doing
him honor, and he as proud of her as an
honest man can be of a true and loving
woman.
If any man or woman is disposed to
doubt the truth of this story of real life
in all essential details, let it be said, with
all the reverence for truth which belief
in the Master based upon unfaltering
hope inspires, that it is true, and that
there are men, for the incident is not of
remote date, who can verify it almost
within reach of the writer's hand.-W

APPLES From Tasmania.

The singular experiment was tried by
an Australian of shipping 100 boxes Of
apples from Tasmania to San Francisco,
Cal. This venture was somewhat like
carrying Goals to Newcastle, as even late
winter apples are grown in the mount
aims sufficient to supply all taat
State demands. 1t proved disastrous in
this case, as improper slowing or the
heat of the hold converted the greater
part of the consignment into fac speci-
mems of baked apples. s.-Ner York

THE EIGHT QUAKER WOMEN.

When eight Quaker ladies had an appoint
ment and seven were punctual, and the
eighth, being quarter OF an hour too late,
began apologiziug for keeping the others
waiting, the reply from one Of them was:
II am sorry, friend, that thee should have
wasted thine own quarter of an hour, but
thee had no right to waste one hour and
three quarters more of our time, which was
not thine own" And of Washington 1t is
said, that when his secretary on some i'm
portant occasion was late, and excused him
self by saying his watch was too
slow, the reply was, "You will
have to get another watch or
I another secretary" Napoleon used to say
to his marshals "You may ask anything Of
me bur time" And Of John Quincy Adams
it is said, that in his long service in Congress
be was never known to lie late, and one Gav

PERMANENCY.

A lover carved upon bed of stone
His lady's name, and set thereto rhyme;
And on the rock were marks beside his own,
Scratched by glacier in primeval time.
And yet the passion that his spirit stirred,
The while he cut her fond and feeting
name,
MethinkS was more eternal than the word
The ice age spoke times snow against
loves flame,
Richard E. Burton, in Harper'S Weekly.

This afternoon I, having clearly shaved
my face two days before, procured a
second hand suit of clothing in exchange
for Others and was in the ferry house
when Jimmy found me and urged me to
come back. Why did not resist him I
do not know, only that you had sent
him. I simply could not go, and re.
turned. Tomorrow my mother will
beggar herself to try to save me. If she
fails-and I almost pray heaven she may
Il must 60 to jail"
Here young Gaylord broke down COM
pletely. Elizabeth did not. She still
clasped bis hand, but she almost choked
as she said:
And this is all'"
"All."
"Aud my father was as guilty as the
rest?"
GAYLORD bowed his head. Then Eliz-
abeth said:
81 believe you. You shall not 60 to
jail"
Here voice was hard, firm, determined.
When Gaylord looked at her, he saw at
q glance that her mind was made up as
unalterably as the numbering of the days
one upon another. He pleaded with her
to save her father and let him 60, but to
no purpose.
s'God is as merciful as He is just" she
said. Through him I will save you
both. If in the ruins you are found, he
will be there with you. He has done this
wrong as much as you have done it. His
ability to stem the tide of adversely aug
mems rather than excuses his crime. He
should have saved you. He shall help to
do it yet, or the same law which SEN
tences you shall sentence him. Weak
though you were, he was weaker, and
his sin, if there be a comparative degree
in sin like this, is greater than yours.
You shall be saved or he must fall"
Elizabcth's face now softened and tears
ran down her face. Through them she
said:
"It was for me you hid my fathers
crime. Surely my love can save you and
in it YOU can never again go astray. II
you could do this much for me my
womanhood would be false hearted tc
falter in my duty. Wait here for me
