A political friend, who knew Lord Palmerston intimately, relates that he was not always to be depended on in keeping appointments. He once fixed 7 o'clock to dine with the officials of provincial town, but failed to turn up. When 10o'clock struck and he still was absent, the company in sheer despera- tion sat down and had reached only the second course when the great man ap- peared. All expected an apology for the delay that had spoiled their dinner, but Palmerston, with the blanaest of smiles and an assumption of the moss cordial and forgiving aspect, quietly said, II am so glad you did not wait. ; -Exchange.

WHAT WILL DO IT?-Medical writers claim that the uccessful.-reqmedy for na- sal catarrh must be non-irritating, easy of application, and one that will reach the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat catarrh is proof positive that only one remedy has completely met these conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physicians and patients freely concede this fact. Our druggists keen it.

A Possible Reform.

A Possible Reform.
1t is difficult to be quite satls-
fed with the general effects of
popular education, or with the
fruits which have as yet been reap
ed from the diffusion of scientific
knowledge. If we esk whether
the popular press exhibits a high
er intellectual stamp than 1t did
twenty or thirty years ago, the an
swer will not be altogether reas-
suring. 1t is within about thirty
years that the devices now used by
the press for taking the strain off
the attention of lazy readers have
been introduced; and what de-
velopment there has been within
the same period in the ignoble in
dustry of purveying and tricking
out in all the adorements of news
paper rhetoric a kind of news for
which the simplest considerations
of public interest would prescribe
the briefest and driest treatment,
it is surely quite needless to de-
clare.
We have noticed with pleasure
lately two or three articles drawing
attention to the great evil which
must undoubtedly be wrought by
the highly colored and vigorously
expressed representations of vice
and criminality with which most of
our daily papers TEEN. That such
matter is read with avidity by
large class of the population is too
true; and with the average pub
Usher, unfortunately, no other JUS
tifcation is needed for serving it
up in unlimited measure and with
the most pIquant Aavorings that
his able young man" can devise.
Apart from the elaborate reporting
of vicious and criminal actions, the
press gives a large portion of its
space to personalities of trivial
character, which in their way exert
almost as hurtful an influence as
the more sensational matter. Moth
ing is more directly or fundamen-
tally opposed to anything like no.

patton of the mind with personal

The question of responsibility
for the evil done to the communi-
ty in these ways is one that is dis
missed too lightly by those on
whom it rests. True, within the

fine their operations, there is no
civil tribunal that can interfere
with them. Still, the question is
a haunting one. "Am l or am l

meeting such a demand9 If so,
the thing may be carried further,
and, however vicious the indul-
gence sought, the mere fact that
there is demand will justify him

Who Is the Greatest PhllanthrOpIstY
Mankind looks upon the gener-
osity of the true philanthropist
with admiration and gratitude.
Whoever therefore gives of his
means to a brother in distress
with a pure motive, erects for him
self a monument of grateful men,
ory in the hearts of men.
The wise philanthropist, how
ever, does not give indlscriminate-
ly. He will give to the meek or
disabled, to him whom misfortune
has rendered helpless, but to give
money to those who are constitu-
tionally able to provide for them
selves, when employment can be
found, he will not. He considers
tire generosity, for the tendency
of that kind of giving is to ehcour-
age idleness and psuperism.
Be man never so poor, if he
possess true self respect, and sbil-
ity to labor, he will reject the offer
of charity. In true, manly indie
pendence he asks for employment,
not charity. He is ready and anx-
ious to exchange his skill and en-
ergy for a fair compensation. He
knows the world can utilize his
labor; ifwork can not be found he
comes to the conclusion that it il
