WISE WORDS.

= A doubt is the heaviest thing man
ever tried to lift.
Cheerfulness is health; its opposite,
melancholy, is disease.
Many man who tells you how to do
thing can't do it himself.
There is no genius in life like the
genius of energy and activity.
The future destiny of the child is
always the work of the mother.
To be good and disagreeable is high
treason against the royalty of virtue.
1t is as great a point of wisdom to
hide ignorance as to discover knowl-
edge.
Culture may sandpaper and polish,
but it cannot change the grain of the
wood.
Fashion is only the attempt to real
ize art in living forms and social inter
course.
1t is good plan to say as little as
possible about that of which one knows
nothing.
Pride is vice which pride itself in
clines every man to find in Others, and
to overlook in himself.
There never wac found any pretend
ed conscientious zeal but it was at.
tended with spirit of cruelty.
We notice that when q man is eco
nomical, and saves up money for a
rainy day, one generally comes.
Mankind is always happier for hav
ing been made happy. If you make
them happy now you will make them
thrice happy twenty years hence in the
memory of it.
Dependency is not state of hu-
mility. On the contrary, it is the
vexation and despair of cowardly
pride; nothing is worse. Whether we
stumble or whether we fall, we must
only think of rising again and going
on our course.

morning saw her crying because she
couldn' find five cents in her pocket

Then his voice choked, and his
blue eyes were filed with tears.

breakfast, my little fellow" said
the merchant, feeling in his vest
pocket "Here, will this quarter
do?"
The boy shook his head, saying:
"Thank you, sir; but my mother
wouldn't let me beg or take money
unless l did something for it."
"Indeedl" said the gentleman.
"And where is your father?"
"He went to sea In the steamer City
of Boston. The vessel was lost, and
we never heard of him after that"
"Ah, that was sad! But you are a
plucky little fellow, and like you.
Let me see." and then, after thinking
few-minutes, he called out to one
of the clerks: Saunders, Is the cash
boy, No. 4, still sick?"

reply:
"Ahl 1 am sorry to hear that.
Well, here is little fellow that can
take his place. What wages did No.
get?"
"Four dollars a week, SIR"
"Well, put this boy down for "a
week.
Then, turning to the astonished
boy, he said: "There, my little fel-
low, go up to the clerk yonder and
tell him your name and where you
live, and then run home and tell
your mother you've got place at 81
week. Come back on Monday
morning and I'll tell you what to do.
Here's dollar in advance. I'll take
it out Of your first weeks wages.
Now CO."
Tommy darted out OF the door like
an arrow. How he rushed through
the street! How nimbly he mounted
the creaking stairs that led to his
mothers room! AS soon as he en-
tered it he ran across the room, clap.
ping his hands, and jumping up and
down, and crying out
mother! mother! I've got place
at $4 a week. There is the first
dollar TO get something to eat with.

Such q declaration as this, however,
exhibits not the sarcasm and Immature
only, but also the impenetrable ignor-
ance of him who uttered it, for it is at
once plainly evident that he entirely
misconceives the object of the pic
mic. The picnic was not con-
ceived for the purpose of eat
ing; were this the case, 1t would
be lamentable failure. The eating at
the picnic is an entirely subordinate
part of the performance, and merely
accessory to the real business of the eX-
pedition, which is love-making. 1t is
true that it is an accessory of some i'm
portance; for, as everybody knows, the
way to mans heart Is straight down
his throat, and the lady whose dain-
ties are most savory stands tho best
chance of attention both during the
meal and afterward, for the open air
sharpens the appetite of even the most
devoted lover, and lovers, like other
people, appreciate good thing in the
culinary line whenever 1t is commended
TO their attention. Careful reflection

Babykins had little friend that
used to come to visit him once a
week. 1t was the day of the week
when the nursery was swept. Nursie
would put the glass from the bureau
down upon the floor while she was
busting and putting things away,
and then 1t was that this other little
Babykins came. 1t was a dear little
Babykins that had curly hair waving
all over its head.
Babykins would creep close to the
glass, but never could touch the
lltt'e visitor. One day Babykins
thought he would creep around the
glass and have romp with the dear
: Babykins who lived there. Oh, he
was SO disappointed What do YOU
suppose was there? Nothing at all
but the back Of the glass! Babykins
made haste to creep back again to
the front OF the glass, and there was
the visitor. Babykins played with
him until Nurse came and took the
glass away. Then Babykins' little
friend went for another week. Baby.

SPEAKER CRISP

Arrives In Washington But Dsclinss 10
Talk About the COMMITTEES 8Ss 'gn-

WASHINGTON, July sl.-Speaker Crisp
arrived in the city Sunday evening and
has taken his old quarters ut the
Metropolitan hotel. He refuses, natur-
ally, to say anything about probable
committee assignments or to discuss
the policy to be pursued regarding inn
portant legislation. He believes the
session will be long one, and will
bly, last until next summer. Mr..
Cleveland, the speaker said, intended
calling congress together in September
to consider the tariff, and if questions
OF finance are taken up before the tariff
1t can easily be seen that the session
can not well get through with both
matters before December. He will re-
main here until congress convenes.

IMPORTED GOLD.

A favorable Symptom of Returning Com
fdence In the Financial World.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-The largo
orders said to have been given by New
York financial houses for gold abroad
to be imported into this country are re.
garded at the treasury department az
favorable symptom of returning con-
fdence. sMuch Of this gold now coming
here is the same gold that was ex-
ported several months ago. The heavy
shipment Of American cereals abroad
within the last two months has materi.
ally reduced the balance Of trade
against U.S. In such circumstances IL
will be natural for the United State to
continue to receive gold from abroad
Gold in considerable qualities is also
coming here from tho West Indies.
This Spanish gold, ON reaching our
shores, hnds its way to the assays ofa.
GERS and is melted up into bars and this
and the European gold find lodgment in
the United States treasury. From
present indications the gold in tho
treasury, therefore, will pass 800. .OoO.-
0OO 1t was Friday s97, 500, 900.
When the 500, 600, 900 mark is passed
the treasury will again resume the is
suance of gold certificates, which by
law had to be suspended when the
treasury gold was reduced below $780,
0O0,0 The gold certificates now OUT
standing aggregate $50, 900, 900, which
is an unusually small amount for the
treasury to have. The department.,
however, shows little or no interest
whether the gold is 800, OOO, 900 or s75,-
OO0, 900. as it is the policy of Secretary
Carlisle to use the gold on hand the
same as he does currency in meeting
tho obligations Of the treasury.

LONDON, July 29.-The Bangkok cor
respondent of the Times telegraphs:
''The prompt enforcement of the block
ade which virtually damages only
Great Britain, has seemingly convinced
the Siamese that the assumed friendly

Britain in Paris has not availed to

matum. Siam, therefore, will proba bly,
concede Immediately the last difference
remaining between her and France by
accepting the ultimatum, pure and
simple Siam has not received the
slightest official support from Great
Britain throughout the difficulty"
1t Is rumored here that there are dis
sensions in the French cabinet growing
out of the troubles with Siam. It Is
said that some of the ministers are dis
satisfied because the blockade was not
effected with more promptness, and
that they reproach their colleagues for
recalling the French gunboats from
