THE VALUE OF SENTIMENT.

The age in which we live de-
lights to call itself practical, and
sneers at mere sentiment as
scarcely deserving to be taken
into account. But in spite of cur.
rent opinion we make bold to as
sert that true sentiment is thing
of the highest value. If it were
entirely subtracted from human
life, unredeemed and brutal sell
fishness would be the only prin-
ciple of action left; and the world
would speedily become a vast
swine's trough with men and
women pushing and crowding
one another around it for the best
chance at the swill. Every high
and pure human affection-res-
pect for ones personal honor.
filial reverence, parental tender
ness, m arried love, inviolate
friendship, true patriotism, noble
philanthropy-has a sentiment a
the heart of it.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
The Result of Sans Foolish Mis-
take In Hitting Back.

District Attorney John C. Bell Of
Philadelphia, who recently returned
from the south, tells the following
story:
An old white headed negro named
Moses was one day walking along
the road when he saw young Sam
sitting on the fence, grumbling to
himself and looking very sullen.
'Wha's de mattah wild yuh, Sam p
asked the old darby. "Whah fob

an beats me all de time
s'Look a-hyuh, Sam, why doan
yuh 'sert yuh dependence once in
awhile? OATS de way ter do. Wen
Mars Fairfax cusses yuh, yuh cuss
him back"
A few days later old Moses came
along the road once more and saw
young Sam sitting on the fence
again, this time with his face all dis
figured as if he had been in fight
and bruised up generally.
"Wha's de trubble nowP' asked
the old man. "'Pears like yuh done
