A Wasted Life.

The New York Sun printed not long
ago a tragic letter which, though an
nonymous, bore every mark of being
a genuine leaf torn out of mans
heart-book The writer said he came
to New York very poor boy, and haV-
ing now made large fortune, had re-
tired from business. But" says the
confessing millionaire, when / think
it over day by day, l can only be
ashamed of it ALL suppose that | was
no worse than the others; / know that
some were worse than I. But | forgot
that there was such thing as
square deal. If l could get the better
of an associate or a customer or an
employee did. Anything that l could
do to attain my own success was good
business, and / did it. I have given
to charity, but it doesn't satisfy me.
| know what l have done wasn't manly.
The modern success is a rank failure.
| would give all that | possess tonight
if | could say: I have given every one
square deal l have done no man
wrong. Think it over; it will mean
lot to you some day 1t ought to
mean a lot to every young man right
now. Let him ask himself whether
he ever heard a man talk that way in
old age who in youth had deliberately
turned away from money-making
and devoted his life to doing good.
Did he, in fact, ever hear any poor
man speak with such cold shivering
disgust at life? Any young fellow with
horse sense ought to be able to see
that starting out to get rich is just
the same as writing Fool" in cap
ital letters on his own forehead.-In-
terror.

He touched her hand, and the fever
left her"
Oh. we need mis- touch on our few
cred hands,
The cool, still touch of the Man of
Sorrows,
Who knows us and loves us, and
understands.
So many a life is one long fever.
A fever of anxious suspense and
care,
A fever of getting, a fever of fretting,
o Lord, thou knowest us altogether,
Each hearts sore sickness, what
ever it be;
Touch thou our hands! Let the few
er leave US,
And SO shall we minister unto thee.

The Public to Blame.

The taproot of all our political evils
is the apathy, the indifferentism, the
ignorance of the people themselves
with respect to their political duties
and obligations, together with the dis
position of many otherwise intelligent
and respectable citizens to accept and
practice a code of morals in political
affairs which they would be quick to
disown and repudiate in any other
sphere of life. 1t Is the general &C
ceptance of this double standard OF
morals that has wrought more evil in
every circle of American government,
from the lowest to the highest, than
all other causes put together. We
mean by this the acceptance of the
shallow and vicious fallacy that a man
may himself practice, or connive at,
the conduct of a ruffian, thief, fall
sitter, a cunning trickster, or a Grim
inal of almost any sort to gain his po-
litical ends, and yet be accounted a
gentleman, and perhaps a great pub
lie leader, if not a statesman, In other
walks of life.-Leslle's Weekly.
