Sympathy.

None of u, a'e sufficiently sympa-
thetic in our innermost natures. We
exhaust our stock upon visible suffer-
ing, and have little left for deeper and
sadder evils. We need to realize that
whore we cannot sympathile our ght
to criticise is questionable. No one is
more to be pitied than the wrong doer,
and no one more truly needs the hand
of sympathy extended to him. If we
cannot do this, If we cannot feel with
in ourselves that even we might have
done as badly, or even worse, under
like circumstances. we are in no posi-
tion to do him good.
How often do we hear, when another
errs, There is no excuse for him. He
knew perfectly we'll what should have
been done, but he failed to do it,"
showing that there Is still held the ex-
pectatiOn that performance will follow
knowledge, even though it has thou
sands of times been proved fallacy
We must deal with people as they are,
not as we would like to find them.
There are few who do their duty at
once upon perceiving it. no matter
how disagreeable it may be, but most
of u, temporize il possible, or perhaps
absolutely shirk many thing which
we know should be done at once.
Therefore, though our line of faith
lessness to duty NAV not be his, let US
keep warm spot in our sympathies
for the wrong-doer Some day we may
need his forbeai ance il some other d.
rectiOn.

A Wonderful Bird &c OF Agate.

During a trip through Arizona a
short time ago" remarked traveller
recently, Il came across most remark
able natural bridge spanning chasm
about fifty feet wide. The bridge is
formed by an immense tree OF agatized
wood. The tree had fallen many years
before and become imbedded in the
silt of some great inland sea or water
overflow. The silt became in time
sandstone and the wood gradually pass
ed through the various stages or min
eralization until it is now agate. Fully
fifty feet of the tree rest on one side OF
the ravine and can be traced. but how
far the other end is buried in the
sandstone cannot be ascertained with
out blasting away the rock. The trunk
varies in size from three to four feet in
diameter. Where the bark has been
torn away all the characte istic colors
of agate are plainly seen, and under
microscope the brilliancy OF the color
ings is clearly brought out in all its
beauty"

GOOD PLOT FOR A NOVEL.
Romantic Story Of A Western Bank
Deficiency.

THE author who proposes to write
the real and only American novel may
find very fair plot in the story l am
about to relate" said Frank N. Har-
ris of Chicago, at Wizards. "Sev-
eral years ago the people of a small
western city began to wonder how
the cashier of the leading bank could
afford to live as well as he appeared
to be doing. His salary, it is true,
was very liberal, but his expendi-
lures far exceeded it. He built him
self splendid residence, had his
horses and carriages, and altogether
conducted himself like a man who
owned rather than worked for bank.
He had the confidence of the bank di-
rectors, however, and the rumors and
gossip that reached their ears appar-
emily had no effect upon them. The
cashier was suddenly taken sick with
a lingering malady, and lay in a
barely conscious condition for two or
three months, when death finally
claimed him. An examination OF his
books which followed his death
showed an apparent deficiency in his
accounts of over $85, 600. His real
friends were thunderstruck and
would not believe the dead man had
been dishonest. His bondsmen. too,
could not be convinced that he had
made way with the funds of the bank
but the books showed the shortage.
While they were arranging to make the
sum good the cashiers widow came
forward and presented the bank pres
ident with check for the entire
amount, telling him that she knew
her husband had never taken q cent
Of the money. and that while she
couldn't understand the apparent
proof of his dishonesty, she was SUBJ
timely confident that he died a good,
upright man.
No one knew either, where the
widow had gotten such very large
sum of ready money. She continued
to occupy the family home, ana
there was no change whatever in her
mode of life, and the town was there
fore confronted with a second mys-
terry, as inexplicable as the first.
Four years after the death of the
cashier the man who had been assist
ant cashier, and who had succeeded
to the position when it Was made
vacant, also died. Before his death
he confessed that when his predeces-
sor was taken ill and had relapsed
into comatose condition, whence
the doctors said he could never re-
cover, he himself had manipulated
the books of the bank so as to show
that the dead cashier was defaulter,
and had taken the money for his own
uses. He left his property to the widow
of the man whose memory he had
so dishonored, and it then turned
out that the former cashier had early
in his career invested in western
mining stock, and that the money he
was spending so lavishly during his
life, and from which his widow made
good his apparent shortage after his
death, was the result of his wise
foresight when he was a mere bank
clerk, Now, think that's pretty
good plot for novel. Washington
