The Good Man..

A good man is friendly to his
fellow creatures and lover OF
mankind; and SO will, upon every
occasion, and often without any,
say all the good he can of every
body; but, so far as he is good
man, will never be disposed to
speak evil of any, unless there be
some other reason for it besides
barely that it is true. If he be
charged with having given an i'll
character he will scarce think it q
sufficient justification of himself
to say that it was true one. unless
he can also give some further &C.
count how he came to do so; just
indignation against particular in
stances of villainy, where they are
great and scandlous; or to prevent
an innocent man from being de.
ceived and betrayed, when he has
great trust and confidence in one
who does not deserve it.-Joseph
Butler.

That is he was not in debt!
But in the other world, he is in
good credit. He did not care to
deposit III land where the banks
break twice year, or pay in cur
rency deprecated by cunning. dis
honest legislation. And SO he sent
his fortune ahead-not all at once,
as sailors fire b,oadside, but a
little ut time. He laid up treas
ure in heaven. Some of it was
sent by poor widow-women, whose
shanty down the load was no bet
ter than advise, to comfort her. A
poor boy, without means to start
in life and become a man before
death, took to heaven an install
ment for the man who died poor.
And the sun carried it right into
the windows Of heaven from the
gratitude of orphans. And that
poor old man, neglected and desert
ed by all save strangers, took a
little home with him. And the
little which saved friend from
ruin, went there. Little by little
day after day, it accumulated.
On the rising prayer of the lone
widow-by the grateful thought of
the starving orphan--by the ideas
of the scholar, little by little, none
the less sure, every dollar others
thought were wasted ION earth,
went to heaven and brought 10
him greater interest than ten per

reformer who sees the error of
thoughtless humanity, and who
preached, lectured, and published
books aud papers in the interest
of the right, sentsome of his wealth
where it would do the most good.
You and US never know who die
poor. None can tell the human
heart, or where it's treasures afe.
Riches are good, if we use them
rightly. An idea will do to circu-
late-so will money. The circle
is growing smaller and smaller, my
boy. In few days, we can stand
in the center and touch it's farthest
side. SO far as THISTLE is concerned.
Then, Walter, the heart which is
crusted over with gold pieces, as
shingles are put on d house, will
go down into the horrible darkness
feeling SO sad, and so lonely, that
even He died rich'' will seem like
a bitter mockery to us. Do good,
my boy. That is the secret Of life.
Everything gives freely Of it's
treasures but man, and everything
else is happy. Cut the chain of
care in twain, and let the sun of
generosity tind your heart. Don't
try to take your money along to
the grave, but send it ahead-and
remember, Walter, my boy, you
will keep it company some day.
So be careful aOhere yon sendH.

"What for?"
"What for?" Money to be sure.
All there is in the world would be

love, or any other passion, but the
majority labor and save, aud starve,
aud study deprivations, and go
thru life as an argument penetrates
fanatic, to get something to Jingle
while the devil is checking his
baggage.
Money is god thing; but then,
my boy, not one in hundred
knows how to use it. There is
happiness in it, if We know how to
find it. Burying it in farms for
poor men to dig out for us is not
a good way. Hoardiug twenty-five
cent pieces in an old stocking is no
way to enlarge the heart. Carry

is no sensible way. In Gods
heaven are many stars, but not
more than there are ways to use
money we'll and wisely.
Be liberal. Be man-not a

my boy, let it benefit some one.
Give others the benefit OF your

it takes but little more to live we'll

pose-to furnish employment for

my boy. What if some old hunks
are rich! Hot metal is, to our
mind, a severe bed. Dispense the
favors of life as you go. Help
others and be happy.
What sense is there in carrying

allowing it to remain? What evil
deuce of wisdom is it to carry
wealth to the grave-and then
leave it? Where the streets are

ting acquainted with the two fami-
lies, and learning that it was a
very uncommon occurrence for
two families to live amicably to-
gether. Of course none of them
had names. Each missing link
was designated in the minds of the
rest of the family, according to his
or her idiosyncrasies.
One of the Daring Ones brothers
was so expert at catching birds and
small animals, that I dubbed him
Nimrod. l took quite fancy to
him. He was as fond of investi-
eating and exploring as I, possibly
more SO. The first time we met

could he catch her, SO we had to
let her follow. I had quite good

lead and made all the discoveries;
Nimrod acted as rear. guard and
occasionally SHE'D a club at his
sister for pastime:
Finally l persuaded him to take

She had always appeared to be

her, che would surely vamose. But
there was 'nothinr doin'." She
