Is This True /?

Charles B. Farwell, one of Chicago's
successful men, is quoted as saying
L" There's nothing in glory, and
friends! Friends! / can count my
friends on my hands, and they are
members of my own family. There's
not such a thing as friendship in the
world. What you call friends are
butterflies. They hover around you
in the sunshine, and when the shad
ows come they disappear. If man
is successful and perfectly indepen'
dent of everybody they fawn, smile,
to-day, and insist on doing something
to help you. If he gets tumble they
Immediately lend their assistance to
keep him rolling to the bottom of the
hill. When you really need them.
they desert you and have no faith in
you. And l can prove it to you every
day of your life. Friendship is all
theory. If l myself want to make a
first class enemy all have to do is
to help a man who is in deep trouble.
Will he be grateful? He will hate
me in the end because l am in a posi-
ton to be of service to him, and have
placed him under much obligation
| believe, after the fifty years of rea
experience | am what you would call
a pessimist. Better say nothing about
it. 1t sounds bad.

of it's writings, begins 1894 more breezy
publication than ever, and with most
interesting new feature added. 1t will,
hereafter with each number, issue, as a
loose supplement, portrait, drawn from
life by its own special artists, of some
man particularly distinguished at the
moment in his walk of life. These por-
traits will not be reproductions of photo
graphs or an ordinary portrait for which
the subject has posed, but will be an
exact and life-like picture OF the man in
his natural or characteristic attitude.
The first of the series was the portrait of
the great editor Charles A. Dana, at his
desk reading the morning paper. The
second that OF Ward McAllister, New

walking down Fifth Avenue. The third
is the Rev. DR.. Parkhurst in his study.

rare collection for preservation, quite
worth in itself the price of the subscrip-

HORACE GREEL Ely AND JET.
FERSON DAVIS'S BOND.
GThe Southland. /

In the year 1867, Horace Greeley
signed the bond of Jefferson Davis in
open court in Richmond, Va. After
two years of the most brutal, inhuman
treatment the world ever saw, outside
Of Siberia, Jefferson Davis stood at
last free and among his own people.
The burst of indignation that fell upon
Greeley's head poured down upon
him like an avalanche from the North
and West, and weaker man would
have fallen beneath it. Amid it all
he stood erect. 1t was proposed at
the time to expel him from the Union
League Club, of New York. From an
old magazine, we copy this letter.
one of the most remarkable documents
that remain to US from that dark and
gloomy period. Greeley addressed it
to the officers of the Union League
Club. 1t was as follows:
shall not attend your meeting this
evening. | do not recognize you
as capable Of Judging, or even fully com
pretending me. You evidently regard
me as a weak sentimentalist, nlisled by
maudlin philosophy | arraign you
as narrow minded block heads, who
| would like to be useful to a great and
good cause, but don't know how. Your
attempt to base great, enduring party
on the heated wrath necessarily engen-
dered by bloody civil war, is as though
you should plant a colony on an iceberg
which had somehow drifted into a
tropical ocean. l tell you here that
out of life earnestly devoted to the
good OF human kind, your children will
recollect my going to Richmand and
signing the bail bond as the wisest act
and that it did more for freedom and
humanity than all of you were compe-
tent to do, though you had lived to the
age OF Methuselah. l ask nothing of
you, then, but that you proceed to your
ends in a brave, frank, manly way. Don t
sidle off into a mild resolution of cen
| sure, but move the expulsion which you
proposed, and which l deserve, if I de-
serve any reproach whatever
propose to fight it out on the line that
| have held from the day of Lees sur
render. So long as any man was seek
ing to overthrow our government, he
was my enemy from the hour in which
he laid down his arms, he was my for.
merly erring countryman.
Mr.. Greeley was not expelled. The
bailbond Of Jefferson Davis was signed
by Mr.. Greeley May 1 ;, 1867.

MOllie's Little Ram.

Mollie had little ram as black as
a rubber shoe, and everywhere that
Mollie went he emigrated, too. He
went with her to church one day, the
folks hilarious grew, to see him walk
demurely into Deacon Allan's pew.
The worthy deacon quickly let his
passions rise and gave it an unchris-
tan kick between its sad brown eyes.
This landed rammy in the aisle
the deacon followed fast, and raised
his foot again, alas! that first kick
was his last. For Mr.. Sheep walked
slowly back, about rod It's said, and
ere the deacon could retract, ne stood
him on his head.
The congregation all arose and went
for that ere sheep several we'll directed
blows Just placed them in a heap. Then
rushed they straightway for the door,
with curses long and loud, while
ramrny struck the hindmost man, and
showed him through the crowd.
The minister had often heard that
kindness would subdue the fercest
beast. "Aha," he said. I'll try that
game on you" And SO he kindly,
gently called: "Come, rammy,
rammy, ram, to see the folks abuse

air, and stood upon his feet, and
when the parson landed he was near
the hndmost seat. And as he shot
out OF the door and closed it with a
slam, he named California town,

The People Road the Fa oers,

Whether right or wrong makes no dif-
ference, the fact nevertheless exists that
at this day everybody goes to the col
umns OF the newspaper to find out what
they want to know about politics, reli-
gion, trade, and almost everything else.
A man takes his county paper and reads
it all through, advertisements and all,
and he expects every man who has goods
to sell or who wants business of any
kind, to ask for it through the paper
Ii he finds only two or three stores ad-
vertised he naturally concludes they are
the only stores in town, or if there are
Others, that they do not care for trade.
Another conclusion they come to, and it
is an entirely legitimate conclusion to
come to, is that business man who has
not enterprise and liberality enough to
advertise his business. is so close listed
that it would be dangerous to trade with
him. We are stating what we know to
be true and q word to the wise ought to
be ufficient.-Warrenton Record.

Don't Be a Grumbler.

Some people contrive to get hold OF
the prickly side of everything, to run
against all the sharp corners and disa-
greeable things. Half the strength
spent in growing would often set
things right. You may as we'll make
up your mind to begin with, that no
one ever found the world quite as he
would like it; but you are to take your
part OF the trouble and bear it bravely.
You will be sure to have burdens laid
upon you that belong to other people,
unless you are shirker yourself; but
don't grumble. If the work needs
doing, and you can do it, never mind
about that other who ought to have
done it and didn't. Those workers
who fill up the gaps and smooth away
the rough spots, and finish up the
jobs that others leave undone-they
are the true peacemakers, and worth
a whole regiment OF growlers.-Salis-

BEYOND THE STARS.
BY MONTGOMERY NJ. FOLSOM.

There is a land beyond the stars,
Where | shall rest some day,
Healing the scars of the wasting wars
That are wearing my life away;
Drying the eye that wearily weeps,
Soothing the agony sore.
Contentment sleeps in those azure deeps,
And my heart shall ache no more.
There hope is sweet and sure release
Each dream shall realize.
While every breeze that sweeps the seas,
Echoes its satisfied Sighs
Grown pure and strong from paths of wrong
My spirit shall gladly soar,
And l. IL turn my sorrow into a song
And my heart shall ache no more,
Forgotten the fears and binding tears
That shadow this sn-cursed sod,
lllumed by Il glorious light that cheers
From the face of the living God.
No longer ahead CLEANS the haunting dread
What the future hath in store.
Raptured with beauties around me spread
And my heart shall ache no more
Though the night of death fall chill and
cold
And the way be dark and drear
Dawn shall unfold with joy untold
When | awake in its brightness there,
Fairer than fancy's imagining fine
Or phlOSophy's deepest lore
Is the life divine that Shall then be mine
And my heart shall ache no more,
Beyond the stars | shall seek and find
Fultillment Of each desire.
| That hath filled my mind in its cropping
blind
With a wild unealthly fire
Blooming and bright with a new delight
| shall walk on a sun-bleSsed shore,
No longer to roam like ii child of the Light
And my heart shall ache no more.

BISMARCK'S LAST VICTORY
ATLANTA Constitution |

When Prince Bismarck met the
friendly advances OF his emperor half
way, and accepted his invitation to
visit the imperial palace, he won the
greatest victory of his life.
The Prince is man OF unbendlng
pride, and his prejudices are SO deeply
rooted that it is almost impossible TO
overcome them. He feels that he is
the real founder of the German en-
pire, and that he is in every way the
superior of the young emperor who
dismissed him and attempted to place
him under the ban of public opinion.
Yet, after long estrangement, he has
become reconciled to his sovereign
and is now willing to accept his hos
pitality. The story in our news columns
speaks of the grave demeanor OF the
Prince when his royal master well
coined him in the most effusve man
ner. He could not very we'll have
looked otherwise than serious. He
was sacrificing his personal pride for
the good of his fellow countrymen.
The iron chancellor loves Germany
more than he loves himself, and he
has made friends with William solely
for the purpose of solidifylng the
nation, and making it more loyal to
its present ruler.
This is a victory for Bismarck and
not tor the emperor. The greatest
triumph that strong man can achieve
is to sink his personality, forgive in
iuries and aid an old enemy when
such a course will promote the public
welfare. 1t is not likely that this
veteran statesman will ever take an
active part in politics again, but this
closing chapter Of his life deserves to
rank with his greatest deeds. He has
mastered himself, and proved that he
is Christian and a patriot, whose
wisdom and magnanimity will com
mand the admiration of the world.

Why the Old Man Hated to Part
With a Couple of Defaced Coins

Associations---But he Got the.

little Rock Gazette.

A few years after the war an old
man entered Little Rock store, and
taking from his pocket an old buck
skin pouch, he emptied two coins on
the counter, and then, after regarding
the silver for few moments, said:
Mister, want to buy some goods
to make a Dress
"That money is mutilated, old gen.
tleman. This twenty-five cent piece
has notches filed in it, and this fifty
cent piece has been punched. You see,
they have been abused. l can't take
them.'
Abused - said the old man.
" Abused ?'' and he took up the fifty
cent piece and looked at it tenderly.
And you won't take it on account OF
the holes! Heaven grant that l did
not have to offer it to you! Years
ago, when my first child was little
girl, l punched hole in this coin and
strung it around her neck. 1t was her
constant plaything. At night when
she went to bed we'd take it off, but
early in the morning she would call for
her watch. When our John-you didn It
know John, did you? No. Well. he
used to come to town good DEAL
"Where is he now?'' asked the mer-
chant, not knowing what to say, but
desiring to show appreciation OF the
old mans story.
He was killed in war. l say that
when John was a boy, l strung this
quarter around his neck. One day his
watch got out of fix, said he, and he
filed these notches in it. He and his
sister Mary-that was the girls name
used to play in the yard and compare
their watches to see if they were right.
Some times John wouldn't like it be-
cause Mary's watch was bigger than
his, but she would explain that she was
bigger than he was and ought to have
| a bigger watch.
1.-THE children grew up, but as they
had always lived in the woods, they
were not ashamed to wear their
watches. When a young man came to
see Mary once, she forgetfully looked
at her fifty cent piece. What are you
doing?' asked the young man, and
when she told him she was looking at
her watch he took it as hint and
went home. After this she did not
wear her watch in company.
"Wen, Mary and the young man
married. John went off in the army
and got killed. Mary's husband died,
and about two years ago Mary was
taken sick When her mother and l
reached the house she was dying. Call
ing me to her bed, she said:
Papa, lean over
81 leaned over, and taking some
thing from under her pillow, she put it
around my neck and said:
Papa, take care of my watch. .
The old man looked at the merchant.
The eyes of both men were moist.
"Do you see that boy out there on
the wagon :'' said the old man.
"Well, that is Mary's child. l
wouldn't part with this money, but
my old wife died this morning, and l
! have come to buy her a shroud.'
When the old man went out he car
ried bundle in one hand and the
s watches' in the other.
