A Short Ti:hpi:i:ax< i: Story.
Ina large cit\. a laboring mat! leav
ing a saloon, saw a costlv carriage
'and a pair of fine horses standing in |
I front, occupied by two ladies elegant- <
ly attired, conversing with the pro
l prictor. As it rolled away he said Io
’the dealer,‘whose turnout is that?’
’lt’s mine.’ replied the dealer com
placently. -It cost s'nOOO—my wife
and daughter cannot do without it.’
The mechanic bowed his head for a I
moment in <leep t bongltl, and looked j
sad; then with the energy of a man!
suddenly armi-cd by a startling flash, i
-aid -1 sec it ' I see j; !’ -See what ?’ i
isked the dealer. See where for years ;
mi wai cs h: ve gone. J helped pay j
!'m- that ei’ri-iagc. for those horses and
i’hat g‘]d-m<amted harness, for the J
silk and lace and jewelry for your ’
mil.' • The money I earned that i
should have given my wife and chil-j
idrcna home of their own and good'
clothing. I have spent at your bar. I
My wages and the wages of others j
like me have supported you and your ;
family in luxury. Hereafter my wife
and children shall have the benefit of j
my wages, and by the help of (rod I '
will ncycr spend another dime for
whisky. J see the mistake and a cure
for it.

XX hat constitutes loveliness? Not
the polished brow, the gaudy dress
I nor the .- how and parade of fashion-I
able life. A woman may have alii
toe outward tmnl'.s of beauty, and yet 1
no! posse s a lovely i haracter. 11 is
the benevolent disposition, the kind 1
■ acts and the < hris'ian deportment. It '
is the heart, where meekness, truth '
: and humility are found where we
, look for loveliness. The woman who
lean soothe the aching heart, smooth
' the wrinkled brow, alleviate the an
guish of the mind, and pour the balm
! of consolation in the wopnded breast,
, possesses in an eminent degree true
I loveliness of character.
XX’hat is fashion? Dinners at mid-
I night and headaches in the morning. I
I XX’hat is wit.? That peculiar kind of;
\ talk that leads to pulling noses and
broken heads. XVhat is joy? To count
your money and find it is a hundred >
dollars more than you expect. XX’hat
is knowledge ? To be away from
' home when people come to borrow ’
• books and umbrellas. XX’hat is con
tentment? To sit in the house and j
see others stuck in the mud.
> Alan can never come up to his ideal
standard. It is the nature of the im
mortal spirit to raise that standard
higher and higher as it goes from
strength to strength, still upward and
onward. Therefore, the wisest and

Go to XX’otiK.— Boys and girls,
never be ashamed of labor. XX’lu tlmr
i in the lield or in lhe kitchen, or in the
oilice, or in the counting room, or al

i as raid to be seen in the garb of labor.
X'ou are aware that the greatest

i foref.il.hers, who founded this great
i republic, were earnest, and strenuous
' laborers. The sooner you are com-;
I polled to rely upon your own resources I
I lhe better for you. Therefore nian
i fully go to work early in life, and then !
■ you will be bet ter able to meet and
i overcome Hie trials and difficulties
I always attending labor. And, young
ladies, you miss it fearfully when you
I feel : Inline al. being exposed to gaze
in the garb of labor.
Never blush, my young friends,
i when you are found in your homes '
j wearing the toiling garb. If you should ■
happen to be caught al the wadi tub i
or til the churn, or even upon your |
knees at the scrubbing brush, si hoo! !
yourself to feel proud of it, and thank ;
God, rather that He has given you
I health and strength lo a< complish the
; work set before you. Sensible young
I men—-nun of real moral worth and'
■ keen judgment of what is good—what- !

a ln lpim i I. to select those that can

Some one gives the following table
ot the order in which men give up
their luxuries under the pressure of
hard times: Books go first—-the book
trade Hattens under a janic; illustra
ted papers next, and then daily pa
pers. If the pressure continues, the.
trade in pianos and fine furniture falls
off: but the laboring classes begin to .
( contract on the furniture from the
-curt. Next it begins to cut off line •.
! clotlis and jewelry, and then its get-i
ting pretty tight. Put on another j
screw and tea and coffee suffer; then
a.l the nicest kind of produce. If the i
screw still tightens when the worst 1
comes to worst, and there is no help i'
from God or man, the whiskey and!'
tobacco begins to cut off. But the 1
dog s about dead when it comes to '
that.

THE STORMS OI LIFE.
Dark, angry clouds overspread the '
sky, illumined at intervals by vivid
Hashes c»i lightning; peals of tfitmder
relit, the air like the X'oiees of angry
rods, while the trees and (lowers fell
before the heavy gusts of wind and
r iiii like grain before a sickle.
The awlul grandeur of the scene
struck terror to heart. - ; heretofore un
known to b ar. For more than an ;
hour the storm raged on till it had;
spent its fury, when the wind and rain '
abated, and here and there tiny rifts
appeared in the clouds,growing larger
i.i.d still larg< r. HU the sun broke in
glorious eihilgence, brightening lhe ;
lee of balure with da::zlii;g I rilliancy. ’
M \ riads of dinnmuds iitmg in Hie trees '
and glistened on the grass and flowers.
Never was sunshine mere beaut.ilXil.
The. terridc storm, so fearful in its ,
wrath, had purified mid washed the
whole earth mid decked in the beauti
lul jewels which a shower alone call
give, and thougli in the east a rain
aas falling, it only enhanced the
h auty of the scene; for the cloud
was spanned by a. beautiful bow—
beautitul, not only on account of its
lovely combination of colors, but as a. I
sign of a glorious promise made b\
him who ruleth the storm by his in
liidtc power. .
Human life has its storms. Adver
sity, temptation and sorrow sweep
over'.lie, soul, tilling it with fear and
dread. But. after a time, tiny rifts of
God’s mercy pierce the clouds around
us, and if we in patience wait, the. en
tire sunshine of his hive, will break in
beauty over our heads, and spanning
the clouds that are drifting away
from us, we shall see the rainbows of
precious pi omise.

XVho is Madam Rumor? No one
knows; yet she is spoken of by all as
being everywhere. She spreads the
neu.-At'.nr.’ rapidly than a dozen news
papers, and finds her way in every
public place, street comer and pri
vate dwelling throughout the universe.
Who is the madam who traverses the
globe, ridi s on the wings of the winds,
searches out every nook and corner,
spreading the. news in every direction
ami deceiving all that she enn.a.-j well
as stirring up strife and quarrels with
I Lose who otherwise would have re
mained in :t quiet mql happy slate,
i W c answer ■ She is not a solitary hu
j man being, nor is she a collection of
: human beings; but upon the other'
i hand, she is a certain class (and a.
very large class, loo,) of people who
are so depraved, so weak-minded and
ignorant, as not to have Hie intelli
gence to till up their spare, time in
sensible and beneficial conversation,
but are compelled, by their depravity
of inteliigible intellect, to till up their
-pare time, with weak, unsupported,
non-ensical and untruthful conversa.-
I i ion. which serves to fortify their own
I ' lang, to misrepresent those to and
I with i. horn they talk.

i any grievances, protect the young i
Sand lender brunches of your family,
plant a smile of good temper in your
face, carefully root out all angry ami
uiqilea-awt feelings, ami reap a good
crop of happiness.
Home is the corner stone of the
Slate, and its foundations should be
laid upon Love, Faith, Hope am! ;
Charity—four rocks that never totter
or crumble to decay, for there is no
fear of disintegration in their com
position.
XVhen one has been long and far
away from an earthly home, what a
happy sight to see brothers and sisters
all crowding to the door to bring us in.
XX hat is that but a dim image of what
will be seen at the gates of glory.
An honest reputation is within the i
reach of all men; they obtain it by
social virtues and by doing their dtitv.
Ulis kind of reputation, it is true, is
neither brilliant nor startling, but it
is often lhe most useful for happiness.
Is it not beaatiful that while God
gives us grace to grow ami to become
strong in Christ, He yet allows us to
abide in ail the sweet weakness of
infancy, resting always upon Him,
and asking for support and wisdom ?

MISTAKEN IDENTITY’.
The other day an omnibus full of
passengers drove up town from the
I’nion depot. Side by side sat a com- '
mi rei'd traveler named XX’illiam Me-
Cabv ami Mrs. XX'iintie C. Dumbleton. I
the eminent, ladv temperance lecturer ~
XX’hcn tin-omnibus reached the Bar-!
ret Ho’ise Hie commercial misionnry I
seized his valise and started out. The ■ 1
lady made a grab after him and he ;
baited.
“I beg yom - pardon,” she said, “but !
; you have my valise.”
“You are certainly mistaken, mad-;
am. Hi traveler saul, courteously I
; but firmly, “this is mine.’’
"No. sir.’’the lady replied lirmlv;4
"it is mine. I would know it among I
a. thousand. X’ou must not lake it."
Bui lhe traveler persisted ami the
, lady insisted, and thej came very near
quarreling. Presently one of the pas- y
engers pointi d H> a t win valise in the I
omnibus and asked :
“XX’hose is that ?”
"It isn’t mine," said Hie traveler; '
“it is just like, if, Inn this is mine.”
“And. it i.-n't mine.” said lhe. lady;
“ho lias mine, ami I want it or I’ll!
! have the law on him. It’s a pity if a
lady can I travel alone in this country
without being robbed of her property
in broad daylight.” Finally, the trav
eler said he would open the valise to .
prove his property. The lady object
ed at first, saying she did not want
her valise opened in the presence of a
crowd of strangers. But as there wim
no other means of settling the dispute
she at length consented. The travel
er sprung the lock, opened the valise,
ami the curious crowd bent forward to
see.
(Ju (lie very top of everything la'
a big Hat tlilsk, half full of whisky. :l

Hint nobody knows the name of.
1 he traveler was the lirst to recover
his self-possession and speech.
“Madam,” he said, “you are right.
’! he valise is yours. I owe you a thou
sand apolo—”
But the lady had fainted, and the
traveler rclocked his v disc with a I
quiet smile. Early in Hie afternoon!
a sign painter down town received a 1
note in a feminine band, asking him
to come to the Barret House to mark
a red leather valise in black letters a
foot ami a halt long.
