WISE WORDS,

Agreeable advice is seldom useful
advice, -Massilon.
Admiration is the daughter OF ig-
n orance.-Franklin.
The Joy Of meeting pays the pangs
of absence; else who could bear it?--.
Rowe.
All affectation is the vain and ridicu-
lous attempt of poverty to appear rich.
l-Lavater.
Most people would succeed in small
things If they were not troubled by
great ambitions.-Longfellow.
Anger, If not restrained, is fre-
quently more hurtful to us than the
injury that provokes it.--seneca.
Accuracy of statement is one of the
first elements of truth; inaccuracy is
near kin to falsehood. d.-Tryon Ed
wards.
1t is good discretion not to make too
much of any man at the first, because
one cannot hold out that proportion.
Bacon.
God sometimes washes the eyes of
his children with tears that they may
read Alright His providence and His
commandments.-T. l.. Cuyler.
Wherever souls are being tried and
ripened, in whatever commonplace and
homely ways, there God is hewing out
the pillars for his temple.-Phillips
Brooks.
Remember You have not sinew
whose law of strength is not action;
not faculty of body, mind or soul
whose law of improvement is not
energy. f. B. Hall.
Those who despise fame seldom de-
serve it. We are apt to undervalue
the purchase we cannot reach, to con-
ceal our poverty the bstter. 1t is a
spark which kindles upon the best
fuel, and burns brightest in the brav-
est breast.
1t is this feeling OF infniteness that
we crave, that we believe in, and
sometimes, though rarely, find in
human friendship. The deepest love
leads us through and beyond itself
into the Infinite Heart, whose calm
throbbing steadies us with the per-
manence and peace of eternity.-Lucy
LarcOm.
Pleasures of the mind are more at
command than those of the body. A
man may think OF handsome perfor-
nance or OF a notion that pleases him,
at his leisure. This entertainment is
ready, with little warning OF expense;
short recollection brings it upon the
stage, brightens the idea and makes
it ssine as much as when it was first
stamped upon the memory.-Jeremy
Collier.

OfDr. j. c. Moore.
CONCORD, y. H.. March lS-A movement
has been instituted to secure the pardon OF
DIR. j. G. Moore Of Manchester, who is serv-
ing Il term in tine state prison. After con-
,ideraton the executive council determined
to take the matter under consideration, and
upl,ointed Prison Physician Clarke. DIR. e.
Il. Conn of Concord and DR.. McQuestrn of
Nashua. to make II physical examination OF
the prisoner. This board accompanied by
the prison committee Of the council went to
the prison when the physicians. in the pres
ence of the COMMITTEES. gave the doctora care
fnl and thorough examination, the result of
which will not be made public until after 1t
has been made t. tine council. From what
can be learned Of DR.. MOores condition,
however, it seems to he altogether probable
that the report will be of II character to en-
courage his friends to make application for
his pardon. on the ground stated. prom-
nent lawyer of the state, who visited Moore
in prison some time ago to transact some legal
business with him stated to your corre5pon-
dent that he was incNpressively shocked by
the prisoners mental and physical condi-
tion. He had. he said. lost more than lOO
pounds of flesh. and walked like II man who
had suffered II slight shock of paralysis. DIR.
Moore said he was kindly treated in the
prison, but" said h. placing his hand
upon the top of his head, "my trouble is
here The gentleman who visited him said
he should be surprised II Moore lived II year.
DIR. Moore was in very bal condition physi-
caly when he was committt to prison, and
confinement naturally has served to inten-
sify and aggravatc his trouble, which is said
TO date back previous to his life In jail. 1t
is thought by disinterested parties here thar
no serious opposition will be offered to the
application for pardon. for to DIR. Moore,
one gentleman prominent in public affairs
said tonight. zone year in prison is as great
II punishment as 10 would be, and he must
die 1t would be only an act of common hui
manity on the part Of the governor and his
advisers to permit him tn breathe his last

OVERLAND WITH A DOC TEAM.
startling Ad, entures OF . Family Bound
For the Gold Fields.

An eight-dog Klondike team swung
into Tacoma, Washington, one day
recently, drawing small prairie
schooner containing ID. G. Blandy and
wife and four year old boy, of Brain
ard, Mimi. Blsndy had driven $500
miles and has Just $50 in his blue
mud. spattered jeans, $5 less than
when he started from his chicken
ranch, August Goth last.
Since then there were ninety-fonr
days that he did not travel, leaving
sixty-four days of actual time en- route.
His dogs are Newfoundlands and st.
Bernards mixed, and their every mus
Gle is as hard as those Of a well-trained
prize fighter. Some days Blandy
travels sixty and seventy miles, and
once, when lost in the Bad Lands of
the Dakotas, hs travelled thirty six
hours continuously, without water for
his family or dogs. II he had not
been rescued by rancher, all would
have perished On that occasion he
travelled over 100 miles without the
dogs giving out. At times in cross.
ing the continent, he has waded
through six feet Of snow and at times
he travelled on the railroad tracks,
running on schedule time between
trains and always reporting to the
train dispatchers for orders before
starting out. He asks 500 apiece for
his dogs and was offered $75 each be-
fore he had been in town ten minutes.
His wife enjoyed the ride and the boy
says it was picnic from start to fin
ish.
Blandy's most thrilling adventure
was near Medora, Montana. A cow
boy told him at Fargo to watch out for
wild steers, which would chase and
kill his dogs. Only horse will fight
them of. Pete Pelican, a rancher
near Medora, who furnished the wild
steers for the Mandan fair, told
Blandy he would encounter the vic
ious animals near there. Blsndy was
to take a certain road by
Pelican and he now believes Pelican
deliberately guided him into the steers.
They began following one OF his dogs,
and when he whipped up the others
and tried to escape, they began rum
ming and gathering from all directions,
until nearly thousand were below
ing and tearing up the ground.
Blandy was finally surrounded by the
steers. His dogs orouohed on the
ground in their harness and barking,
showed fight. The steers would have
ground them to death, together with
the entire family, if Blandy bad not
seized blacksnake whip an2 single
handed fought back the entire herd.
This held them off but all instant, and
they closed in again, driving Blandy
back to the prairie schooner, where
he jumped onto little buckskin pony
which he had with him. The pony
was we'll broke for such work and at
once began biting and paving at the
steers. Blandy used his blacksnake
and soon had the steers on
the run.

The young hypocrite onght to be

there you are, Louisa Gentle, ell
couraging her in her evil ways! I'm
surprised at you"
For Mrs. Gentle, seating herself by
the side of the trembling and alright
cd young girl, had already paid her
fare, and was whispering encouraging
words in her ear.
Miss Honeycomb rode on mile or
so further. still stiff and upright, star
ing immovably out of the stage window.
sooner than to seem, even by glance,
to countenance her friends unseemly
and ill-judged conduct
GAS green as grass!' she said to her
self. "Louisa Gentle is so unsophis.
ticatcd that she would fall into any
trap going. She's no more fit for New
York life than a year-old lamb! Here's
Rosemary square at LAST, thank good
ness"
She got ont of the stage; Mrs.
Gentle got ont also; and, to- the sur.
prise of both, the young girl in the
gray travelling dress alighted as well.
"Do you stop at Rosemary sIuare?'
! said Mrs. Gentle.
"Why, yes" said the young girl;
II live here"
"Seamstress, or something of that
kind" said Miss Honeycomb, under
her breath.
"Perhaps, then," said Mrs. Gentle
ever inclined, ivy fashion, to cling to
something, ''you can tell us where
No. 10 is"
The sweet, dimpled young face
lighted up.
"Just here" said she, pointing to
one of the tall brown-stone houses
which faced them. Papa lives here"
"Humph!" snorted Miss Honey
comb again, soto voce. "Coachman's
daughter. Probably employed in the
laundry"
The young girl ran lightly upstairs
and rang the bell--the two elder wom-
ell followed, and were presently shown
into an elegant reception room, where
tall, handsome lady, in a dove
colored silk morning wrapper, was
sitting at her embroidery.
"Juliette!" she exclaimed, in sur
prise.
Darling mamma" cried the girl,
running into her arms, "you didn't
expect me back from Cousin Minnie's
so soon, did you? I meant to take
you by surprise; but, oh I came near
coming to grief, for I had my pocket
picked, and would have had to walk
home if this kind lady," turning with
graceful smile to Mrs. Gentle, chad
not lent me ten cents, although the
other one-the tall one in black-told
her L was q swindler, and threatened
to hand me over to the police!"
The lady handsome brow darkened.
"To the police!-my daughter!
Madam" turning to Miss Honeycomb,
may I ask what has procured me
this visit?"
'T.-Icame to apply for the situation
of bousekeeper, stammered Miss
Honeycomb, apparently feeling very
i'll at ease.
IT advertised for a housekeeper,
said the lady, "but not one who could
so brutally insult any unprotected
child, least of all my daughter. Jen-
nings," ringing the bell, which was
answered by footman, "show this
woman to the door,"
And kind little Mrs. Gentle got the
situation. The ten-cent stamp in the
