A complaint was registered with me
today to which I'm more than glad to
give all the publicity 1 can.
1t is against that class of people who
through sheer carelessness. rather than
lack of money, let their bills lie three
or four months before attending to
them.
This true story accompanies the COM
plant:
L know a music teacher who has
the support of a family consisting of an
invalid sister and two children. The
first of every month she makes out her
bills and sends them to the parents Of
her pupils. The understanding when
she took the pupils was that she should
do this-she did not add that she hoped
the bills would be paid promptly. for
she knew they were all fully aware that
she was the only bread winner for the
family.
II ONE happened to let the bill run

right, for she earns enough for a COM

quentiy the case-not just one, but all

THE BLOOM
OF PURITY.

Over the plum and apricot there
may be seen bloom and beauty
more exquisite than the fruit itself
"a soft, delicate flush that over
spreads its blushing cheek. Now,
if you strike your hand over that,
it is gone forever, for 1T never
grows but once. The flower that
hangs in the morning, impaired
with dew, arrayed with jewels
once shake it SO that the beads roll
off, and you may sprinkle water
over it as you please, yet 1T can
never be made again what it was
when the dew fell lightly on it
from heaven.
On a frosty morning you may
see the panes Of glass covered
with landscapes, mountains, lakes
and trees, blended in a beautiful
fantastic picture. Now, lay your
hand on the glass, and by the
scratch of your fingers or the
warmth of the palm, all the deli
cate tracery will be Immediately
obliterated So in youth there is
a purity of character which, when
once touched and defiled, can
never be restored-a fringe more
delicate than frost work, and
which, when torn and broken, will
never be re-embroidered.
A man who has spotted and
soiled his garments in youth.
though he may seek to make them
white again, can never wholly do
it, even were he to wash them
with his tears. When a young
man leaves his fathers house,
with the blessing of his mothers
tears still wet upon his forehead,
If he once loses that early purity
of character, it is a loss he can
never make whole again. Such is
/ the consequence of crime. It's
effects cannot be eradicated, they
can only be forgiven.-Henry
| Ward Beecher.
