A Cay at a Time.

All of us, at one time or another,
bear greater burdens than we ought
to; and If we break down under these,
the fault is our own. God never sends
into any ones life a burden that. is
too heavy to be borne. With every
pound of down-pull that God lets come
into our life, he is ready to send lit
tie more than a pound of uplift, If we
will but take it. But when we go out
and seek burdens for ourselves that
God never intended us to have. 1t
ought not to surprise us that we can
not find sufficient strength to meet
them These unbearable burdens are
always of one sort: they belong to the
future. not to the present. Tomorrow's
burden is the only one that breaks the
back of today. We cannot make
drafts on the futures strength in or
der to dispel present worry about the
futures needs. Such worry Is always
wrong. unnecessary, and unjustifed.
The man who has found the secret of
CHEEKY, successful burden-bearing is
he who resolutely declines to consider
more than that "evil'' which is suf5

cious. A Methodist minister was
above reproach with her. The back
room adjoining the one engaged by
the reverend was already occupied
by quiet and unobstrusive gentle
man who paid his rent regularly and
went and came at his pleasure. He,
too, was above suspicion. There was
also very nice young man occupy
ing room upstairs. He was always
busy writing and attending to his own
business. Many letters postmarked
at different towns of the west and
south addressed to Rev. J. Hale Bar
ney were being delivered daily. These
were put In the trunk.
The detective detailed to unearth
the fraud rugged himself out in a suit
of genteel black clothes and presented
himself at 1926 Sixth street. Here he
was kindly received by the nice old
lady. She was polite, but a little
suspicious at first. 1t did not, how
ever, take the smooth-tongued de-
tective long to calm her fears and Sc
cure room. He was not particular
about the price. He had heard that
her house was a quiet place. He was
a law student and did not like to be
disturbed while engaged in his stud
les.
At the first opportunity the de-
tective slipped into the front room
and examined the lock on the trunk
with the aperture in its top. 1t was
an ordinary affair and the officer

It is scarcely necessary to say that
the foregoing circulars had been con-
cocted for the purpose OF obtaining
contributions from the apDointees of
the president. The Rev. ]. Hale Bar

one Colonel Pardel, who had reck-

me was a source of great annoyance
to the president, General Babcock and
Senator Morton. Although the scheme
was a foolish one, it was one of the
boldest swindles of a pecuniary and
nolitical character that ever came up
in Washington. 1t involved no less
than three kinds of crime-using
the mails for fraudulent purposes.
forgery and obtaining money under
false pretenses. The president was
quite indignant 1t was not alone a
reflection upon him personally but
upon his administration.

easily secured key to At It. He
had several circulars printed in fac

decoys. These were postmarked and
given the appearance of having been
sent by postmasters in the south.
Some of then contained marked
money. Excuses were made In 9TH

of time. Some of these letters were
signed, "a Friend of the Cause" "A

short time after the return of the

the parlor through the rear door. The
detective again examined the trunk
The letters were gone. Shortly after
wards the mice man" occupying the
room back of the parlor was arrested
while in the act of dropping letters
into the postoff1ce.
These letters were discovered to be
circulars addressed to postmasters
and others. The mice man" arrested
was searched and the marked money
placed in the letters by the detective
was found in his pocket. 1t was now
certain that Rev. j. Hale Barney and
the individual arrested were one .and
the same. The silent young man up
stairs was suspected and arrested. His
room was searched and large num-
Der of printed circulars and envelopes
addressed to postmasters were found.
The plot, although silly in its con-
ception, was catchy because Of its
holiness. The mice man" caught
was a person Of considerable prom
inence. He had served as a colonel
of a regiment during the Civil war
and was a gallant fighter.
The young fellow upstairs was a
printer and had done the work on the
circulars. Both of the schemers were

at once Others were surprised and
doubtful as to their genuineness and
forwarded them to the president with
a letter Of inquiry. Taken altogether
it was a most remarkable affair
planned and carried out in reckless
manner. The report of the detectives
sent to capture the schemer furnishes
chapter Of racy reading.
1t was discovered that, lady who
rented furnished rooms at No. 426
Sixth street had sometime prior to
the discovery of the forgeries received
letter from a man signing himself
Rev. j. Hale Barney. He said he
was a Methodist minister and that he
would be absent from the city much
of the time attending to the duties of
his circuit, but he wanted to hire a
good lower front room in her house
for Office purposes and place to
sleep and the delivery OF his CORE
spondence. He explained further that
he had been appointed executive Sec
rotary of the Christian Brotherhood.
The lady thought it was a rare op-
portunity to secure an occupant Of
distinction. She had great confidence
in Methodist ministers as she leaned
that way herself, and she answered
favorably. In a few days large
trunk was forwarded by express. 1t
had an aperture in its top through
which letters could be dropped. There
wy also forwarded two large cards
upon which was printed REV. ]. Hale
Barney, Executive Secretary of the
Christian Brotherhood" one to be
hung upon the door, the other in the
window of the room. Money was
sent to pay months rent in adj
vance
The madame was delighted to rent
her rooms to such nice man. She
had always maintained a highly re-
spectacle place and intended to keep
it so. The trunk was put into one
corner of the room hired, and all
mail addressed to the reverend myth
was dropped through the hole in the
top of the trunk pending the arrival
of his reverence

How to Keep Young.

The fact that one has lived 60 or
even for 80 years, is no reason why
he should feel old.
When Longfeliow was well along in
years, his head as white as snow, but
his cheeks as red as a rose, an ardent
admirer asked him one day how It
was that he was able to keep so vigor>
GUS and to write so beautifully.
Pointing to a blossoming apple tree
near by the poet replied: THAT ap-
pie tree Is very old, but I never saw
prettier blossoms upon 1t than those
which it now bears. The tree grows
little new wood each year, and I
suppose that it is out of that new
wood that those blossoms come. Like
the apple tree, I try to grow a little
new wood each year"
And what Longfellow did we all
ought to do.
We cannot stop the fight of time;
we cannot head off the one event that
happeneth to all; but we can keep on
growing new wood" and In thnt way
keep on poisoning until the end

April 5th, 1873.
1.-THE annexed conversations are sub
mitted to the friends of the president
in confidence. Our friends can ad-
dress Rev. j. Hale Barney, who is
temporarily secretary in that behalf.
Any one having conscientious convic-
lions against contributing need only
silently decline. The president has
acted in good faith and confidently
relies upon an active and cheerful as
sistance. Suppose nothing had been
done and the state of affairs existing
in Louisiana had more extensively
prevailed, what would have been the
result? Read carefully the presidents
views and act as your judgment die
tates, remembering this subject is
confidential and known only to three
persons besides the president and
that whatever Is sent should be in
