Who shall judge a man from manners I Who shall know him by his dress t Pauper may be fit for princes, Princes fit for something less. Crumpled sbirt and dirty jacket May beclothe tbe golden ore If the deepest thoughts are feeling— Satin vests could do no more. There are springs of crystal nectar Ever welling out of stone, There are purple buds and golden Hidden, crushed, and overgrown ; God, who counts by souls, not dresses, Loves and prospers you and me, While he values, thrones the highest, But as pebbles in the sea. Man, unpraised above bis fellows, Oft forgets bis fellows then ; * Masters, rulers, lards remember That y >ur meanest kind are men ; Men by labor, men by feeling, Meu by Ibonglit, men by fame, Claiming equal rights to sunshine, In a man’s ennobling name. There are foam-embroidered oceans, There are little weed-clad rills : * There are feeble, inch-high sapliDgs, , There are cedars on the bills ; God, who counts by souls, not stations, . Loves and prospers you and me ; For, to him, all vain distinctions ~ - Are as pebbles in tbe sea.. Toiling haud.alone are builders Of a nation'B wealth or fame ; Tilted laziness is pensioned, Fed and fattened on tbe same ; By tbe sweat of others’ foreheads, Living only to rejqitpe, While the poor man's outraged freedom, Vainly lifted up its voice. Truth and justice are eternal, Born with loveliness and light, Secret wrongs shall fitter proeper While there is a sunny right'; God, whose world-heard voice is ringing Boundless love to you and me, Sinks oppression with its titles, . As the pebbles in the sea. '* M **^" l “""4''" Jy’ "v w A E AGE FOR A E3SS. A butler peddler from Henry lake relates, will) great glee, how a neighbor of bis was cured ol 100 Irequeutly tipping tbe gin boule. This neignbor married a young, ho and <>me and spirilei lady and for a month or tw'o ali went well in the house and about tire larm ; then the husbsnd fell back into bis old tricks. -The wile remonstrated, and, for a time, lh e husband relormed. Presently, however, she became satisfied that the “bottle lipping*’ was again going on. When she spoke to her husband about the matter he swore that the‘’aroma” she delected was that ol a colic medicine lie was taking, he hav ing developed a most miraclable colic, for the Belief ol which he had brought home and paraded a bottle of medicine. The wile was confident Inal there was kept somewhere about the premises a considerable store of very different kind of medi cine. She kepi her own counsel, and. at lie same time, strict waico. In a day oi two silt dis covered under a manger in Uie bain the secret hoard. Sue iitni nothing oi Uie discovery io In r husband Some time alter the husband bad business at a neighbor’s some two tunes away. Ou ins return he was somewhat surprised ai seeing a note pinned upon the front door. He hastily advanced and read as follows: Ben : You will find the key of the house where you keep your colic medicine. I have takeu Kitty and gone home to my mother. Father and brother Bob will come to-morrow for tue trunß m which I have packed my things. Nellie. The husband rushed to the barn. At a glance he saw that Kitty, bis wife’s mare, and the side saddle were gone. Darting to the manger, he hauled out his corpulent demijohn of gin, and suspended from its ueck fouud the key of the house. Securing the key, he sent the demijohn whizzing aud crashing against the poet of the barn. Boundingforth, be ran lo ami mounted tbe horse be bad left standing in front of bis bouse. Away tie dashed. It was ten miles to tbe bouse of bis father in-law, and be was determined to overtake bis wife before she reached it or kill a horse in tbe attempt. Said tbe butter man : “Now, I seed Ben’s wife come over tbe hill, half a mile south of my house, on her little mare, Killy, and begin lo perlorm some queei aboiutions. After she'd got over the brow o’ (lie hill she paced up and down the road for a time ; then she rid np and looked over ihe ridge for awhile. After look in’ a bit she turned about and rid up and down the road afew limes ; then she went to the brow of the hill agaiu. So she kept doin’, and once or twice she led I Kilty to tbe top of tbe bill. “I was puzzled as to whether she was waitin’ for somebody or bad lost somethin’ while on her way to her father’s place some four miles beyond my bouse. 1 *as just about to walk out that way when I seed her wheel Kit ty round Irom the brow of the bill and begin io piy her whip. .‘‘ln half a minute she was livin’ past my place like a mad woman. I stood at my front gale by tbe roadside, ready to holler out to her to know what was up, but bless you, she never looked to wards me. Her ey es seemed sot in her head, her face was pale and at every jump she lei into Kitty with a whip. I swar, her rid in’ skirt iairly cracked as she bounded past. “dist then I lieerd a tremenjous blatter behind uie. Turnin’ about i Ben a-cumin* over the pilch of die lull on his big black boss like a wild Comanche. He was ridin’ with loose reins, lean in’ way lor’ard, and digin* his big spurs iulo his horse 1 ke he’d rip his insides out. “He passed by, with Ifair and coat-tail sailin’ back iu the wind, and never turnin’ his head to the right nor let). I thought I seed murder in his eye. I tell you a million thoughts went through my brain in a second. All the stories I’d ever beerd about jeal ous nusbaiids or insane husbands went through my head in a lump, and I do not believe if I’d my gun in n*y band I’d a taken a wing sliot at him on suspicion. “I seed Nell look back once and then lay the whip on Kitty hotter’n ever. Ben was goin’ like the wind. I knowed Nell was headed for her father’s, aud I seed plain as day that Ben would get her ’lore she was safe landed. “At last lie was upon her. It was ! new neck and neck for a lung time wiili B-di reachin' out lor Kuty’o biidle. At last he got a and (lie iwo horses gradally -lowed up liil they finally stop pwti. 1 mounted my gate post all ui a tremble, expectin’ to see somethin’ lireadlui happen. ‘•They stopped iu the road talk in’ nigh on-to half an hour; then I see Ben lean over and Nell lean over till their two heads come together. ‘“What the mischief!’ says 1, ‘kissin’ instead of killin’. Well, this sort o’ iracas gits me !’ Alter the head bumpin’.the pair turned about aud„ came slowly joggiu’ along back. ‘•As they passed me I called out to know what m the livin’ jingo it all meant. Ben begau to slammer somethin', ’bout half of which never got ihrough his big be. rd, when Nell sings out to me: Only a race for a kiss!' and givm* Kitty a cut that made her bound ten feet, she called out to Ben : Come on! A race to the lop of the hill for anotherl* and away they went. ’ ‘‘That was five yer ago, and 1 never komi ed the meguiu’of that wild, harum-scarum ride till’bout ihree months ago, when tbe story ’bout the ‘colic medicine’ leaked out among tbe wimraen folks. For a good while alter the ride, howsumever, 1 remember of tbe neighbor men wonderin’ what bad come over Ben that he bad slmt down on his gin all of a sudden, and wouldn't so much as take o glass o’ Oregon cider. “To this dav no doubt Ben thinks lie bad a desperate chase after Nell, and a narrer escape of her gettin’ into the home 'long with her big brother, her father and his mother-in-law, and I’ve never said a word to him ’boul how she fooled along under the brow of the hill.— Virginia City Enterprise. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. Advice is seldom welcome. Those who need it most take it least. As every thread of gold is val uable, 30 is every minute of time. Prosperity is no just scale; ad versity is the only balance to weigh friends. The more we do, the more we can do; the more busy we are, the more leisure we have. Knavery is supple, and can bend, but honesty is firm and up right and yields not. No principle is more noble, as there is none more holy,than that of a true obedience. Be mho is the most slow in making a promise is the moat faithful in the performance of it Never let Jpbur zeal outrun your eharily. 'The former is but human, ibe latter is divine. Duty cannot be neglerted without harm to those who prac tice as well as to those who suf fer the neglect. Precept is instruction that is written iu sand, and washed away by the tide ; example is iu “st ruction engraved on the rock Whoever has a contented miud has ail riches. To him whose foot is enclosed in a shoe, is it not as though the earth were carpeted with leather? Try to repress thought, and it is like trying to fasten down steam —an explosion is sure lo follow. Let thought be free to work in its own appropriate way, and it turns the machine, drives the wheels, does the work, Do not fail to make allowance for the effects of ill health upon those of your friends who are in valids. No matter how much sell-controll or sweetness ol tem per they may have, or may have had, when they were well, it is almost inevitable for them to seem, and probable to become a little irritable now and then, at any rate, to show less interest than you expect them to feel iu what interests Others. The un comfortable consciousness of be ing shut oul from, many of their wonted activities, the knowledge that they necessarily are causing others extra thought and labor, the strain of long endurance ol discomfort, the shocks that things, which ordiuariiy seem to to be mere trifles, now inflict upon their sensitive nerves, and their frequent and natural forget fulness, to some degree, ot mat ters external aud concentration of attention upon their inner selves and the luture—all these combine to render them quite unlike their iormer selves. Bear with them patiently at*d.lovingly, and help them to cultivate that sweet and blessed state oi mind which without undue -aeglect of this world, while they are yef in it, is centered chiefly upon the worhVto come, and is th# peace of Christ which this world can neither give uor take away.
