Home influence.

Home is the test of character. If .
man is harsh and cruel and rough at
home, that is what he is in business
and society, although he may conceal
it with mask. The man who is dis
respectful and unlxind to his parents
at home will show the same spirit to
the young lady whom he now courts
when she becomes his wife.-Rev. A.

Evans for vice president. Hanna was
even master of the emotions of the con-
ycntion. There was no enthusiasm,
there were no plaudits until Hanna gave
the word, and then carefully regu-
lated Bedlam broke loose for William
Mckinley, the candidate - Hanna's
candidate.
With the convention dispersed and its
labors performed to Hanna's satisfac-
ton, he made little speech to his
fellow republicans" in the course of
which he said: "The only work have
done and the only claim / make upon
the good will of my fellow citizens lies
in the fact that l gave the plain Ameri-
can people chance to voice their senti-
ments in regard to their favorite presi-
Dental candidate"
The unsuspecring believed that
Hanna's work must be done when he
brought about the nomination of his
friend, William Mckinley. Neverthe-
less Hanna, who was not member of
the national committee, became its
chairman before the sun set the next
day, and in compliance with his wishes
an executive committee of nine to hold
up his hands in the campaign will be
appointed. This committee is to in
clude solid men who, like Hanna, are
not members of the national commit
tee. Hanna is also to have the power to
name the secretary and the treasurer
of the national committee. IF there is
anything else that Mark Hanna wants
but doesn't see, he has only to ask for
it and it will be produced. Never was
man SO completely the autocrat of his
party as Hanna, the iron broker. And
never was q man so loath to admit that
he is anything but a humble instru-
ment of proyidence-that is. when the
proprieties intrude. Hanna's first act
as chairman of the national commit
tee was to issue an order to "the re-
publican party of the United States"
recommending the use of California
pampas piumes in red. white and blue
mounted fan-shape on staff, for
parades and interior decorations" 1t
was characteristic of Hanna, and he
will often repeat himself during the
campaign.-N. Y. Sun.

GIVEN TWO YEARS.
Judge Coles Opinion of Careless
Handling OF Firearms.

Judge Cole today overruied the motion
for new trial in the case of James Green
and sentenced him to two years in the Al
bany penitentiary. Green, a young coiored
man, shot Rhody Rice in Blagden's alley
the 3oth of last September. Mr.. SAINT. d.
Truitt. his counsel, claimed that the shoot
ing, but a slight wound resulting, was ac-
cideatal
What we need here in this District"
said Judge Cole. In imposing sentence lis
law like that IN most of the states, under
which one who carelessly handles firearms
can be severely punished. In New York
state, for Instance, the punishment is from
one TO five years Imprisonment I'm states
PRISON. That is a good law. l very much
regret that we have not one like it. IL We
had, l am sure We would have very little
or this shooting and killing, of which We
sec SO much here. The lowest term 1 can
give Green under this charge of assault
with intent to kill Is two years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary, and although his
onense may have been unintentional the
punishment is, i think, little enough"

Why Old Violins Are Best.

Fabulous prices are sometimes paid for
old viOlins, and many an enthusiastic
musician would part with his last dollar
to possess one of the masterpieces of Strad-
ivarius or Guarnerius or another of the ia
nous makers of IA century or two ago.
The unquestioned superiority of these
old and often battered instruments has
been variously asCribed to the peculiar
quality of the 'arnish used in their con-
struction, to the elasticity of the wood
employed and to the ripening and improv-
ing effects of age and long use.
But ut the meeting of the American
ence reasons were shown for believing that
the real cause of the superiority of the old
instruments is due to peculiar varying
of the wood to "A higher arch, buckling
caused by the position Of the + holes and
soundpost."
1t might be thought that the same effect
could be produced by giving an equal
arching to new instrument, but the eff
feet If attained is not permanent because
with age the arching increases until too
great a degree of rigidity is the result
The substitution of aluminium for wood
In the making of viOlins has been suggest
ed, because experiment has shown that
soundboards of aluminium resemble in
tone those made of wood, and that an alu-
minimum violin does not undergo changes
Of form with age, so that It can be made
perfect to begin with and will remain in
that condition. Youths Companion,

My Creed.

hold that Christian grace abounds
Where charity is seen; that when
We climb to heaven tits on the rounds
OF love to men.
hold all else named piety
A selfish scheme, a vain pretense;
Where center is not, can there be
circumference?
This l. moreover, hold, and dare
Affirm where'er my rhyme may go,
Whatever things be sweet or fair,
Love makes them so.
Whether it be lullabies
That charm TO rest the nursing bird,
Or that sweet confidence of signs
And bushes made without a word.
Whether the dazzling and the flush
OF softly sumptuous garden bowers
Or by some cabin door a bush
OF ragged flowers.
~Tis not the wide phylactery,
Nor stubborn fast, nor stated prayers,
That make. us saints; we judge the tree
By what it bears.
For when man can't live apart
From works ON theologic trust,
know the blood about the heart
Is dry AS dust.

Dependency.

All, who can tell? My life is nearly run,
And DER its trodden path grim shadows
lower.
/ now can see many a rare, sweet flower
OF opportunity might have won,
But left ungathered. My early manhood's SUI
Is dark eclipsed Whereer turn ! see
No beacon; no star of rest shines out for me
To light the past and do the things undOne.
Somewhere, or near or far, shall come TO me
In great oblivion's moveless, deepest sea,
When |, with hands EMBODIED on my breast,
Shall sleep the dreamless sleep that kncws
no morrow,
That knows no hope, no fear, no pain, no
sorrow.

Wearying For You.

Jes' a-wearyin for you,
All the time a-feelin blue;
Wishin for you-w onderin when
You'll be comm home agen.
Restless, don't know what to do
Jes' a-wearyin for you!
Rooms so lonesome with your chair
Empty by the fireplace there;
Jes' can't stand the sight of it!
Go outdoors an roam bit.
But the woods is lonesome, too
Jes' a-wearyin for you!
Comes the wind. with soft caress,
Like the rustlin of your dress;
Blossoms fallin to the ground,
Softly, like your footstep sounds;
Violcts like your eyes SO blue
Jes' a-wearyin for you!
Mornin comes; the birds awake;
Use to sing so for your sake!
But there's sadness in the notes
That come thrillin through from
threats;
Seem TO feel your absence, too
Jes' a-wearyin for you!
Evenin comes; miss you more
When the dark glOoms in the door;
Seems jes' like you orter be
There to open it for me!
Latch goes tinklin, thrills me thrsugh.
Sets me wearyin for you!

Watched by a dog who was fie rec and big.
Three monkeys grave, with pen and ink
And papers spread upon the table,
Nrinked their brows and tried to think;
For they were lawyers, grave and able.

How matters might be changed around,
Ii the case about honey or mice should be,
And the jury or judge in the dock were
