relish for Il. The general practice
should be to feed regularly three times

1t is an old saying that il you do man
nineteen faSors, and for any reason de-
cline to do him the twentieth, he will
forget the nineteen requests that you
have granted, and only remember tho
one that you have refused-and for that
refusal he will hate you ever afterwsrde


And this is true Of some men it is
true ofmen of mean and narrow natures
but it is not true of all. 1t is as natu-
raj for a noble soul to cherish a lively
recollection of kindnesses received, as it
is to breathe. And while we are often
shocked to see acts of friendship towards
others, which have cost us good deal
of time and Of labor, entirely overlooked
and forgotten, we not unfrequently, ON
the other hand, are surprised by the
grateful reciprocation OF some favor long
since rendered, and the very perform
ance of which had passed from our own
recollection, antil reminded Of it by the
recipient.


We have always regarded gratitude as
a feeling which is hardly susceptible Of
being taught to any one. A lecture OH
gratitude, to whomsoever addressed in
stead of awakening that emotion, is very
apt to engender feeling of Indignation
and hatred. People never like to be told
to be grateful And it is Of no use to
tell them. II it is not natural to soul
to appreciate the good nature Of others,
it can never be taught such apprecia-
ton.

Of all the lessons that humanity has to
learn, the hardest is to learn to wait. Not
to wait with folded hands that claim life's
prizes without previous effort, but having
struggled and crowded the slow years with
trial, see no result as effort seems TO war;
rant--nay, perhaps, disaster in stead. To
stand firm at such crisis Of existence, to
preserve ones self poise and self-respect,
not to lose hold or relax effort, this is
greatness, whether achieved by man or
woman-wbether the eye Of the world
notes it, or it is recorded in the book,
which the light Of eternity shall alone
make clear to the vision. Those who stand
on the high places of the earth understand
not what necessity, what suffering means.
They know not what it is to o noble
mind to be obliged, like the worms, to
crawl upon the earth for nourishment, be-
cause it has not the strength to endure
famine. Life moves around them with so
much grace, splendor, and beauty; they
drink life's sweetest wine, and dance in
charming intoxication. They 6nd moth

We find the following in the New
Orleans Times, of Friday:


A few days ago it became the painful
duty of q well known sexton to commit
to it's last resting place the mortal re-
mains Of one who had died far away
from home and kindred. The unfortu-
nate, in obedience to an earnest solicita-
ton made prior to his demise, had been
disintorred and brought from Texas, to
be placed by the side OF those OF his
faith and race. The sexton being con-
scientious man, complied with his duty
strictly, and the ceremonies are described
as having been most impressive. About
the same time a well-known dry goods
merchant received letter from his
brother, residing in Indianola, inform
ing him of the shipment OF case of
dress patterns, which he desired to have
sold for his account. The articles did
not arrive, but in due time the freight
bill was presented, and payment was
declined. The agent insisted that he
could show receipt, and produced one,
which, however, was signed by the SEX
ton alluded to. The gentleman was
called upon, but, while he admitted the
signature to the receipt bore a remerka-
bic resemblance to his own, he had no
knowledge whatever Of the goods Men
tioning casually that at about the same
time he had received corpse, an inves-
LEGATION was determined on. In COM

visited the cemetery, and discovered that
the dress patterns had been buried with
funeral honors, The goods are ofcourse

{ The opposition to the treaty made in


the executive session by Senator Sum-


ner, although anticipated by a few


shrewd observers of public affairs, was
really surprise to the administration,


1t was thought by the advocates Of the
treaty that the objection made by Mr..
Sumner TO the Johnson Clarendon treaty
were fully met and overcome and that


he could not place himself in antagon-
ism to its provisions Of compromise
without qualification. 1t is understood
that Sumner charges that the disposi-
ton made of the Alabama claims begs
the question and places the country in
q humiliating position, considering the
matter from the American standpoint.
Senator Cameron, chairman of the COM
mittee on Foreign Affairs, betrays great
anxiety for the prompt ratification OF
the treaty, and President Grant is ex-
tremely solicitous for its success, as he
considers it the crowning act of his ad-
and one which places him
high in the rank OF Craftsmanship. 1t
is considered by the leading politicians
here that if Sumner is given the go-bv
in this matter his deposition from the
Of Foreign Affairs will be
fully acquiesced in by the Republican
party.


No action will be taken on the treaty
until Monday night, and an effort will
be made to remove the customs Of
secrecy and permit the public to hear
the debate. - - -

A correspondent of the Liberal Chris
tian tells this story about William l..
Marcy a ll w q


81 spent day of my vacation at
Charlton, Mass. Bill Marcy was q native
Of this neighborhood, and grew up to be
wild and heady youth He was thought
by his parents and by all the neighbors
to be the worst boy they knew. One
winter he succeeded, in conjunction with
kindred spirits. in ousting the teacher
from the district school. Salem Towne,
then q young man, was summoned as
the fttest person to take charge of these
unruly youth and complete the term.
Everybody thought the new teacher
would certainly have trouble with Bill
Marcy. But the trouble did not come.
The first day had not passed before Mr..
Towne had discovered in his pupil an
element of real good, and told him so.
This, to the boy, was most unusual ac-
acknowledgement and it touched his heart.
Some one had seen good in him. He
was, then, capable of better things, and
he was determined to make the turning
point of his life.


Such was his conduct and such his
progress in study that his teacher adj
vised him to 90 on and prepare himself
for college. 1t was a great surprise to
his parents, but at the urgent solicitation
Of Mr.. Towne they gave their consent,
and he was placed under the instruction
of clergyman in the vicinity Of his
home. At length he entered college, and
passed through the course with great sue
cess, justifying at every step the conf
dence and hope Of his best friend. In
consequent life he rose from one degree
of eminence and usefulness to another,
until at last the whole world was familiar
with the name and fame of William l..
Marcy.


Long years after he left his school-day
haupts, and when he had come to de-
served eminence, he visited Roston, and
was the guest of the then Governor of
the old Bay State. Among the distin-
guisbed men who were invited to'meet
him was General Salem Towne. When
the Governor saw Marcy and Towne
greet each other as old friends, he
naturally expressed a pleasurable sur
prise that they knew each other so well.
Whyi' said Marcy, that is the man
that made me. When Twas boy every
body was against me. None-no, not
even my own father or mother-saw any
good in me. He was the first who be-
lieved in me- tsld me what / might be-
come, and helped me ON in life at that
critical juncture. Whatever of merit or
distinction havo since attained to, ]
owe to him more than to any other living
person."
