Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
M. P. Dalton. a former Portland man,
who left that city some time ago several
thousand dollars in debt, has prospered
in the West recently. The first money
he received was sent Erst TO meet his
obligations, and every debt has been
fully paid. though many of them have
become outlawed. Such instances of
honesty ought not to be rare enough to
excite comment, but since there are
people who take advantage of the com
mon law to violate the moral law, it is
gratifying to know that one more hon

sire to testify as q body to the
high regard in which they held
Mr.. John E. Sears by whose death
the school has sustained sad and
irreparable loss. Mr.. Sears as a
pupil was most highly respected
by his teachers who saw in him the
moral and mental virtues develop
ing and expanding into the high

was conscientious student doing
his work faithfully and well, and
his diligence united with bis e1-
cellent natural abilities placed
him easily among the first in his
classes. The noble qualities of
his heart were as marked as the
excellent traits of his mind. 10
his teachers he seemed thought

siderate, gentle and helpful. 1t is
natural that such pupil should
endear himself to all who know
him, and Mr.. Sears had won q
high place in the affections and
esteem of both teachers and
associates, and it is with deepest
sympathy that the faculty and
students ten ler to the afflicted pa

81 Know n Thing or Two"

My dear boy" said father to his
only son, "you are in bad company.
The lads with whom you associate in-
dulge in bad habits. They drink,
smoke, swear, play cards, and visit
theaters. They are not safe compa-
ny for you. 1 beg you to quit their
society,""
"You needn't be afraid of me, faith
err" replied the boy, laughingly; II
guess I know athing or two. I know
how far to go and when to stop"
The lad left his fathers house twirI-
ing his cane in his fingers, and laugh
ing at the "old mans notions"
A few years later, and that lad,
grown to manhood, stood at the bar
of court, before a jury which had
just brought in verdict Of guilty
against him for some crime in which
he had been concerned. Before he
was sentenced he addressed the court,
and said, among other things "My
downward course began in disobedi-
ence to my parents. [ thought l knew
as much as much as my father did,
and I spurned his advice but soon as
turned my back on my home, temp
tation came upon me like drove of
hyenas, and hurried me into
ruin."
Mark that confession, we boys who
are beginning to be wiser than your
parents Mark it, and learn that dis
obedience is the first step on the road
to ruin. Don't take it!

full little incident relating to wearing

said
lone day our pastor said During SER

lady came to him and said: DO come
with me and hear those birds sing, oh
such mournful notesn There was a
room full of birds in very small cages,
and these birds we're all blind; they
had had their eyes put out. In the
night the owners take them outside
the city and hang the cages in trees.
The trees are then all smeared with
tar. These birds keep up their pitifuii
singing, and other birds are attracted
to the cages, and they get stuck on the
tar, and then they are caught and
their ewes are put out. And these birds
are killed and sent to America for la
dies to wear on their bonnets!
And I looked around the congrega-
ton to see what ladies had birds on
their bonnest, and 1 was glad there
was none on mine; and 1 don't think
can ever wear bird again. n."-Wide

Let no Man ask for Leisure.

The most fallacious ideas prevail re-
specting leisure. People are always
saying to themselves
III would do this, and would do
that, if / had time"
There is no condition in which the
chance of doing any good is less in
than, the condition of leisure. The
man fully employed may be able to
crafty his good disposition by inn
proving himfelf or his neighbor, or
serving the public in some useful way;
but the man who has all his time to
dispose of as he pleases has but a poor
chance, indeed, of doing so. To do
increases the capacity of doing; and
it is far less difficult for a man who is
in habitual course of exertion to ex-
ert himself little more for an extra
purpose than for the man who does
little or nothing to put himself into
motion for the same end. There is a
reluctance in all things to- be set go
ing; but when that is got over, then
everything goes easily enough.
So it is with the idle man !; in losing
the habit, he loses the powerof doing.
But q man who is busy about some
regular employ ment for a proper
length of time every day can very cas-
lily do something else during the re-
naming hours /; indeed, the recreation
of the weary man is apt to be buster
than the perpetual leisure of the idle.
AS he walks through the world, his
hands hang unmutf1ed and ready by
his side, and he can sometimes, do
more by a single touch than an idle
man is likely to do in a twelve
month,
Let no man pray for leisure in order
to do anything. Let him rather pray
that he may ever be useful. If he
really wishes to do any good thing,
he will always find time for it by
properly arranging his other employ
ments.

How To MAKE LIFE HAPPY
Take time it is no use to fume or fret,

Since we cannot get what we like,

Inherifence hY Degrees.

1t is doubtful whether there has ev.
er been more singular testament
than one which the family of a rich
inhabitant of Warsaw, in Poland,
have had to submit to, on pain of los
ing their share in the estate.
Early in 1884 there died In Warsaw
merchant who was known to posse ss
q comfortable fortune. He lefC.a seal
ed will wh. .ch bore a asuperscription for
bidding the opening of the document
before the 10th of March, 1885. -
On that date the family assembled
at the notary's in whose charge the
will had been left. The package was
opened and found to contain another
envelope which was not to be opened
until the 14th of April, 1886.
On this second date the family as
sembled again, only to find themselves
put off another year, and this was
repeated from year to year until, in
1890, the last envelope was opened, and
The will itself found.
But new torment awaited the heirs,
for the document was found to pro-
vide that the entire fortune of the tes.
tator, which was in funds, and amour
ted to more than fifty thousand dol
lars, should be deposited in the State
Bank and left to accumulate, the in.
terest to be added to the capital until
the year 1910, when it should be devi-
ded among the surviving heirs.
1t is quite probable that tue testator,
instead of being merely joker, was a
philosopher. Knowing the solid value
to every person of the experience OF
earning a living, he doubtless proposed
that his children should have this
priceless expersence, feeling sure that
after twenty-five years of honest sell
support they would be fitted for the
possession of large fortune.

The Unexpected Answer.

Something stayed his feet. There
was fire in the crate within-fOr the
night was chilI-and it lit the little
parlor, and brought out in startling
effects the pictures on the wall. But
these were rs nothing to the picture
on the hearth. There, by the soft
glow of the fire light, knelt his little
child at it's mothers feet, its small
hands clasped in prayer, its fair head
bowed, and its bosy lips uttering each
word with childish disCictness. The
father listened, spellbound to the
spot: ...
"Now lay me down to sleep,
Ipray the Lord my soul to keep;
If should die before I wake, s.-
Ipray the Lord my soul to take"
Sweet innocent! The man himself
who stood there with bearded lips
tightly shut together had said that
prayer once at his mothers knee.
Where was that mother now? The
sunset gates had long ago unbarTed to
let her pass through. But the child
had not yet finished; he heard her
"God bless mama, papa and my own
self" Then there was o pause, and
she lifted her troubled blue eyes, to
mothers face. "God bless papa" lis.
ped the little one; 'and--please send
him home SOBER" He could not hear
the motheras she said this, but the
child followed, in clear Inspiring
tone: "God-bless papa-and please
send him---home-.--sober. Amen"
Mother and child sprang to their feet
in alarm when the door opened sud
denly, and they saw who had return
ed SO soon; but that night, when little
Mamie was being tucked in bed after
such romp with papa, she said, in
the sleepiest and most contented of
voices; Mama. God answers most
as quick as the telephone, dosent he?"
