Reverence For Old Folks.

ooAIs-rAndant of GofSoTt1W H0TE WAS
a passenger on a crowded car, when an
old man, leaning on a cane, entered,
cropping along with the aid of his cane
for his seat, He had gone more than
half away without fiuding one when a
boy OF about ten years old caught sight
of him and was on his feet in a moment.
Here, sir" he said kindly; stake this
seat, sir, if you please"
"But what will you doq" the old man
asked.
''I'll stand" was the smiling answer,
which he did.
"Well, bless you, my lad!' said the
old NAL as he sank down in the comfort.
able seal. "I'm a thousand times obliged,
and I'm sure when you get lame and old
there always be a seat for you"
A Gretk historian tells how, 10 the pure
and early and most v~irtuous day Of the
republic, if an old man entered the
crowded assembly, all ranks rose to give
room and place to him. In the ''Iliad"
this respect for the aged is prom inently
portrayed.
In company with several young friends
a boy was h%urrying along the walk of a
busy street. Suddenly he stopped with a
glad exclamation, took off his hat and
bowed, while his face grew radiant, A
country carriage, in which sat an old
fashioned but smiling old lady, went
rolling swiftly by.
"Who's that old lady that you're 80
mighty polite to?" asked one of the boys.
THAT'S the best and dearest old lady
in the whole world" was the quick,
proud answer. "That's my grand
mother"
Many a boy, could he voice his
thoughts, would sing with the poets:-
"Who shall guess what 1 may be?
"Who can tell my fortune TO me2"
And we can easily answer the questions
when a boy who respects age asks them:-
''For bravest and brightest that ever was
sung,
Nav be-and shall be-the lot of the yOunpu

MEMORY.

Nobody plays the piano now,
1t silent stand with its Keys of pearl:
But a w~hite-haired mother gazing there,
1earningly thinks of her little girl,
Sees through the mist of q year ago
The bloom of her sweet child's face,
As she plays SO merrily, to and fro,
With a happy song that cheers the place.
Sometimes she stands with a book in hand
Sometimes with book and slate;
But the lesson is hard to understand,
And the figures hard to make;
But she sees the nod of her mothers head.
And she hears the words so often said,
Conquer, my dear, tho the lesson is irving
knowledge is power don't give way tc
sighing."
were wonderful, dear, sweet days,
When a girl with her sunny hair
Was here to scold, to kiss and to praise.
By my side in her rocking chair.
L lost her back in the busy year,
w hen the death chill entered the home.
And carried her spirit past hopes and fears
And left me, her mother, alone to mourn
And now and then in a fitful dream,
Like Il picture out of date,
l see her again beside me stand,
Bent DER pencil and slate;
And she lives again in the happy day,
The day of her life's young Spring,
When the piano stood just where it does
now,
And with sweet music the house did ring

GEMS.

The man who begins to exult over hi
fallen brother is the likeliest man to fal
himself.
Why will you mention obligations :
Love never confers any. 1t doth ever
thing for its own sake.
A kind heart is a fountain of eladness
making every thing in its vicinity tt
freshen with gladness.
Life is continually weighing us in very
sensitive scales and telling every one Of
us precisely what his real weight is to
the last grain of dust.
He who dsllies with the tempter is lost;
he who counts the cost of honesty is al.
ready dishonest; he who sets a price upon
his integrity has 40 integrity to sell,
There is nothing purer than honesty,
nothing sweeter than charity, nothing
warmer than love, nothing richer than
wisdom, nothing brighter than virtue.
and nothing more steadfast han faith.
The world owes a debt u~Dpayable o.
reverence and gratitude for the obscure
fidelity, the u%nchronioled sacrifice, the
silent and steady toll which had no othel
inducement than a sense of duty and the
the reward of an approving conscience,
Educate women and you educate the
teachers of men; if the child is father to
the man, the woman forms the mau in
educating the child. The cause of female
education is, then. even in the most sci.
fish sense, the cause of mankind at large,
The way of life is by no mean smooth,
but let us not make it rougher than it is.
The world is not all ' g could Wish; but.
If it goes wrong, let US not spend NJ
selves trying to make it worse. Rather
let us make it a little smoother and a
little pleasanter by u disposition, man.
ners and deeds. If men in general are
out of sorts. there is the more need of our
being in sorts.

Tour 10 California via PennsyI vania
Railroad,

Railroad.
In Southern California is found the
realization of a dream of the ancients. Here
are the Golden Apples of the Hesperi-
des," ripening beneath a sky more beauti-
full thar that of Rome, and in a climate
more perfect than that of Athens. Never
in the widest flights of his imagination
did either Homer or Hesiod ever conceive
of a garden richer in verdant beauty,
mora productive of luscious fruit, or set
surroundings. Here the rose en- ines
the orange, and the snow mantled peaks
of the Sierras reflect the golden glow OF
the evening twilight.
The last of the Pennsylvania Railroad
tours to California will leave New York
and Philadelphia March 81, stopping at
Chicago, Omaha, Denver, Colorado
Springs and the Garden of the Gods
and Salt Lake City. Tourists will travel
by special train of Pullman palace cars
going, and return on regular trains via
any route within nine months. Regular
one-way or round trip tickets will be
issued for this tour in connection with a
special ticket covering Pullman accom-.

Nc Free Silver BimetalIism.

The free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer, when it does not preserve its parity
with gold, cannot be a condition in true
bimetallism because in its effects it is
directly antagonistic to the system.
Whenever practiced, it always results in
recommendation, and silver at that. Such
is the case now III all silver countries,

case in the United States in the 40 years

had personal experience in seeking Off e,

Republican President.
Mr.. Lincoln would always listen stten-
lively to what he had to say and then tel
a funny story. On his way to his hotel
he would think over the story aud finally
see that it landed his candidate way out
Of sight.
Gen. Grant always received an appli-
cation for office as toasts to the memory
of Washington are drunk; standing and
in silence.
Hayes listened for a while, then broke
out into lamentations that the attention
of the President of the United States
should be diverted from the great affairs
of s ate to distribute patronage. Then he
would make a memorandum in a little
red book, which was to remind him not
to do it.
Gen. Garfield would put his arm around

President Arthur would listea with

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away a bottle of their Digestive Cordial
to any one who might call at their New
York office, there was a great rush and a
great many people thought they were
crazy.
Subsequent events proved it to have
been a very clever advertising transaction,
for although they gave away thousands
of bottles, it was in the end profitable;
nearly every one that took a free bottle
came back for more and paid for it with
pleasure, saying they had derived better
results from its use than from any other
medicine they had ever used.
There is nothing so uniformly success

A Mighty Expensive Cow.

When, in a certain legislative proceed
ing, it was proposed to make an appro'
p~riation in a series of expenditures that
never came to an end, the Hon. Philetus
Sawyer, then a United States Senator
from Wisconsin, said that the case re-
minded him OF a COW that he once had
on his farm. He told the story thus:
"Once, when we were living on the
farm, a man came along and wanted to
buy a COW l offered him another, but
nothing would do but the one he had
pointed out. Then l told him that that
COW was one / had given to my wife, and
that l could not sell it without her con-
sent.
"'Well,' said the man, 'wouldn't she
sell the COW ?"
Il went in the house and asked my
wife if l should sell the COW.
ooh, yes she said. but 1 want the
money!
81 sold the COW for twenty dollars,
gave my wife two dollars, and said,
"'Call on me when you want more.'
Then after that, when my wife wanted
a dress, a bonnet, or money to get a we'd
ding present, she would ask me for some
Of that COW money. l had paid her
several thousand dollars of it, and
wondered when the credit would be
exhausted, when we built a house. Then
it had to he furnished. We figured up
what the cost would be of the things we
wanted and found that iJ amounted to
several Thousand dollars. l said:
"'Wife, I'll pay you the balance of
that COW money, and you can pay for
furnishing the house with it,
1T was a bargain, and at last the COW
deal was over. That animal cost me not
far from twenty thousand dollars; but it
was all right. "-Youth's Companion.

The fugitive noble stood in the shadow

trude, full of apprehension that he
should stay too long, strained an ear to
catch any ominous sounds from without
and drank in eagerly the detailed plans he
slowly explained of his own escape to
Holland, and her journey thither on the
morrow by another route.
When he ended there was a little silence
between them, as with those whose hearts
are too full to speak. 1t was speedily
broken, however, by a loud ringing of
the great bell, which reverberated from
the deserted courtyard below through the
house. The girl fastened to the case
