And sees therein the promise fair Of all
that earth holds dear to him.
Naught recks he now of blasted hopes, of
withered heart and eyes made dim
By tears that come whom hope is dead. He
answers gayly, Life is love"
"What is life?n ask the man in whose
brave face no shadows lurk
Whose days are filled with healthful toll |;

SETTLEMENT OF THE BONDS.

MIR. Lieberman May BE Able to Secure n
Portion of Money From Another Bonds
mans Estate.
As expected, the settlement of the
surety bonds of Peter 7. e. Smith, de-
fauted paying teller of the First
National Bank, was made Monday
afternoon by Nathan Lieberman. one
of the sureties. He paid over to Lewis
@. Vandegrift, attorney for the, bank,
the sum of s33, Ill. 40, which represents
two bonds for $4,000, each together
with costs and intel est.
Mr.. Lieberman was not the only
surety on the bonds, but under the
law, the bank had the right to sue any
one of the bondsmen. The other bonds
men we're: On ono bond, John Sparks,
Nathan Liebeiman, Christian Messick
and Joshua Maris, and on the other,
John Sparks, Nathan LieDerman and
Hannah L. Sparks.
The law also provides that where one
surety pays the whole of the bond, he
shall be entitled to an execution or
| other process against the other debtors
for rroportionable par of the amount.
After Mr.. Lieberman settled, the
bank TUNED the bonds over to him and
they are In his hands.
1t is probable that he will take some
steps to secure from tho estate of Johr
Sparks a portion of the money paid in
settlement of the bonds. An appraise,
ment was recently made OF Sparks
property and the object may be some
legal steps. Mr.. Sparks was tho father.

These boys are in a Eoor frame of

yet new methods of instruction they
must have, says l.. b. Il. Briggs in the
March Atlantic. They must learn to
depend on themselves, to become men !;
and they must learn that hardest lesson
of all-that mans freedom consists in
binding himself. Still again, they must
learn these things at an age when the
average boy has an ill.seasoned body, a
half trained mind, Jared nerves, his
first large sum of money, all manner of
direrting temptations, and profound
sense Of his own Importance. How can

make elective, not this or that study
merely, but the habit of studying at

by the failure Of the modern parent

difficulties. What the mind indolently
shrinks from Is readily mistaken, by
fond mothers, mercenary tutors, and
some better people, as not suited to the
genius of the boy in question. at is

THE BOYD CLAIM HELD up,
Charges for jail Lodgers Not Considered
by Levy Court Tuesday. H..


by Levy Court Tuesday. .-.i
Tho Levy Court met Tuesday morning,
and although no formal action was
taken, decided to continue to hold up
the colossal bill OF Mayor Evan G.
Boyd of New Castle. This bill, as readers
of The Gazette will remember, is for
about 81, 400 and covers the II months
ending March 3lst last, and is largely
made up Of fees for commitments for
persons who were actually dodgers at
New Castle Jail. That it would take
about 5000 persons TO make up the total
of 81, 400 at 40 cents per commitment,
and that the county in previous years
paid out thousands OF dollars on similar
bills, have already been told by Every
Evening.
The Levy Court finds itself upheld by
public sentiment in its action of thus
far refusing to pay the bill, and the
prospects seem good for very aprrecia-
bic reduction before any allowance is
made to Mayor Boyd.
A gentleman, not connected with the
Levy Court, said Tuesday that Commits
sioner Scott attempted to have the
Legislature annul the laws under
which these claims for commitments

Sometime in the past when life was so gay,
Thinking the future one long summer day.
l sit meath the willow by the old mill
stream,
Recalling the years that have all seemed q
dream. A.
The winds seem to whisper Of day that has
fled,
OF dream never realized and hopes that
are dead: lsl
They seem to caress the soft silvery hair,
And lift gently the locks from brow lined
with care.
All, sometime, when life seemed nothing
but joy. 44
And love ruled my heart without alloy,
Fate interfered and took from my life,
All that had made II so happy and bright.

at is no exaggeration to say that
the use Of money is test of character
aud revelation of q mar 8 nature,
writes Ian Maclaren Of 1.-THE Genteel
Tramps in Our Churches, +" in the April
Ladies' Home journal. There arc
men who lose money by their foolish
ness.-Wastrels; there are men who
spend it on their vices--P rodigals I;
there are men who hoard it with
ealousy-Misers; there are men who
lay it out in well-doing-they are the
Wise Men. When / say .well-doing /
am not thinking Of that unreasoning
and indiscriminate charity which,
whether it take the form of alms to q
lazy vagabond or a large benefaction
for the creation Of paupers, is curse
and not blessing, sin and not duty.
We are not to read in q mechanical
fashion the advice of our, Lord to the
young ruler to sell his possessions and
give 10 the poor. for though that might
have been the only pledge of sincerity
he could give in tLat day, it would be
a great calamity in our day. Whatever
may have been the case In ancient
times, there can bs no question that in
our day the man who establishes 0
manufactory in small town and pays
fair wages does ten times more gooo
than he who would use his wealth tc
