"Another week, and the note will be
presented for payment, and then 1 am

had pretended to procure the note, claim
ing that it was for borrowed money which
[ had had from the firm, and which [
had probably pocketed, together with
what further funds were in the safe, and
made off. George could compromise with
the creditors in such way as to protect
me from pursuit, and in few years the
affair would all blow over, and | could
return, and let the truth be known with
out imperiling George, and at the same
time cleaning myself from all taint of
dishonor My parents need know moth
ing of this, and so suffer no uneasiness
on account of it.


Nettie, brave, noble self-sacrifcing
soul, consented to this arrangement, a
lawyer was called in, contract setting
forth the facts in their true light was
drawn up and signed by George, wit
messed by Nettie and the lawyer, to
whom intrusted the care of my inter-
ests in the matter, and departed.


This contract l carry with me, so that
in case of any accident my innocence
may be proven, and my brave little wife
be cleared from the burden of another's
crime.


My parents were somewhat surprised

home, disposing of my property at a sac
rifce, and engaging again at my trade

clean conscience but clear fame fo

KEEP IT TO YoURsELF.-You have

husband is unkind, your wife frets, your

not treat you just right, and things in

but when the Goals are scattered who can
pick them up? Bury your sorrow. The
place for sad and disgusting things is un-

benefited by pulling off the rags, and
sticking it in everybody's face; tie it up
and let it alone; it will get well itself

thus covered are often cured without a

A young girl named Lottie Dough-
erty recently died at Millville, n. J.,
from the effects of a wound sustained
by her during a successful effort to
save the lives of nearly a thousand
pepOle. In August last, according to
the Millville Republican, the deceas-
ed, while occupying the post OF tele-
graph operator at Eagle Station, on
the line Of the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad, was placed in a position of
responsibility which might have
proved too much for most men. Dur
ing fearful thunderstorm, an i'm
mense tree was struck by lightning
and thrown across the railrOad-track
Almost at the same moment, the tel
egraph apparatus was disabled. Find
ing it impossible to send a message to
warn the approaching train of danger,
the brave girl seized a red lamp, and
ran up the line swinging it above her
head. The engineer saw the signal in
time to avoid a fearful disaster. The
engine ran against tile tree, however,
with sufficient force to discOnnect a
heavy branch, which struck the girl
on the shoulder, and inflicted the in
juries that resulted in her death. The
passengers we're so grateful for their
escape that an attempt was immedi-
ately made to reward ler; but she
firmly declined to accept anything for
having done her duty. Such acts of
personal herOism should not be al.
lowed to go unrewarded, and the men
and women. who were on that train on
that August night might now have
an opportunity to mark their appre-
citation Of poor LOttie's bravery by
causing a handsome monument to be
erected to her memory.

Once upon a time there live pow
erfuI king, who reigned over large
and fertile country. He had crowns
of gold and pearls, and scepter of iyO-
ry and precious stones. His treasury
was full of costly things of the earth ;
tens of thousands of armed men were
ready to obey mis- bidding, and his
dominion extended from sea TO sea.
But, without Gods blessing worldly
possessions are but an increase OF care
and this mighty monarch feared not
God, he was dissatisfied and unhappy.
In the dominiOns of the king there
lived a certain dervish famed for ab-
stinence, sanctity, wisdom and piety
and the king, willing to profit by the
| instruction of the holy man, paid him
a visit. He found him in sackciOth
! lying in a cave surrounded by hlgh
rocks on the border of wilderness.


"Holy man." said the king, u
come to learn how I may learn to be
happy"


Without giving any reply, the der
wish led the king through the rugged
pathways which led TO the place, till
he brought him in front of a high rock
near the top of which the eagle had
built her aeTie.


"Why has the eagle built her nest
yonder ?"


DOUBTLESS" ;" replied the king, "that
it may be out of DANGER


"Then initiate the Bird" said the
dervish, :'build thy throne in heaven,
and thou shalt reign there unmolested
and in peace"


Now the king would willingly have
given the dervish a hundred pieces OF
gold, if he would have accepted 1t, tor
the precious piece of advice. 1t may
be useful to you as the king, for you
are all as much interested in being
happy as he was. As the eagle oullI
her nest in the rugged rock, build
your hope on the ''ROck of Ages" As
/ the dervish told the king to erect DIS
throne in heaven, so l tell you 70
'seek those things which are above
where Christ is seated on the rlgh'
hand Of God. Set your affections on
things above, not on the things OF the
earth" Do this and you will 6t
