Look up. There is glorious and triumphant Gospel hopo for you yet. J sound tho trumpet of deliverance. The church is ready to spread a banquot at your return, and the hiorarchs of heaven to fall into lino of bannered pro¬ cession at the news of your emancipation. I Bo far as God may help mo, proposo to show what aro tho obstacles of your return, and then how you are to surmount those obstacles. The first difficulty in the way of ▼our return is tho force of moral gravitation. Just as there is a natural law which brings down to thoearth any tiling you throw into tho air. tation. so there In is other a corresponding words, it is moral easier gravi¬ to go down thau it is to go up; it is easier to do wrong thnn it is to do right. Call to mind tho comrades of your boyhood them days— some of thorn good, somo of bad— which most affected you? Call to mind tho anecdotes that you havo heard iu the last five or ten years—somo of them are puro and somo of them impure. W hich tho more easily sticks to your memory?

My friends, there are thousands and tons of thousands of man losing their souls in that way. It is tho on© rounamoro. I have also to say that if a man wants to return from evil practices, society repulses btax.

Vast deserts of indifference between them and the house of God. The fact is, we must keep our respectability, though thousands and tens of thousands perish. Christ sat with publi¬ cans and sinners. But if there comos to the house of God a man with marks of dissipation upon him, much people throw up “Isn’t their hands in horror, How as as to say: it shock¬ ing?” these dainty, fastidious Chris¬ tians in all our churches are going to got into heaven I don’t know, unless they have an especial holstered, train of cars, cushioned himself! and They up¬ each one a ear to cannot go with tho great herd of publicans and sinners.

Do not mistake notoriety for fame. One fib is oft the cause of ten more. Do not let others spend the money you earn. Apprehension of evil is often worse than evil itself. A false grounded hope is but a wak¬ ing man’s dream. Mean fortunes and proud spirits act like fuel and fire. Don’t do work unworthy of you if you can avoid it. Virtue and a trade are the best por¬ tions for children. The most manifest sign of wisdom is continued cheerfulness. Our acts mako or mar us; we are the children of our own deeds. A woman’s vanity is like the immen¬ sity of space—you can scarcely compre¬ hend it. Man is a fool and he knows it; al¬ though he rarely has the courage or the candor to acknowledge it, even to him¬ self. Don’t be afraid of wild boys and girls. They often grow up to bo tho very best of men and women. Wild¬ ness is not viciousness. In family government let this always bo remembered that no reproof or de¬ nunciation is so potent as tho silont in¬ fluence of good example. There aro a great many men who3o only capital, on which they do some¬ times a considerable business is their fino clothes and their dashing manners. Tho early months of marriage often are times of critical tumult—whether that of a shrimp pool or of deep waters, which afterwards subsido into cheerful peace. The time one spends in planning what he would do if he only had tho money, could bo much better employed in studying what to do and how to do it with tho mean* at hand. If all rich men were only philan¬ thropists and used their money liberally and wisely trying to better the condi¬ tion of their poorer and less fortunate neighbors, ^iow much brighter and hap¬ pier tlio world would be for their having lived in it. The Origin of Forget-me-not. Any . ono who * a ta , ke-y^trouble ai x i_. a tore. f.r tmoik for tho DiTglMSSESS^J!?' now well-known flower will find it bo tanrcally , . ,, ,, Myosotis, .. English x, , mouse-ear, from which tho namo Myosotis is dc rived. It is now extensively regarded „ as an emblem ,, of fidelity. Grey „ gives . only one, M. Verna, as originally a na¬ tive of North America, but several as i aturalized outcasts from gardens— among them the true forget-me-not, M. palustris, very common by damp ditches in Europe, with pale-blue flowers and a yellow eye. Thero are; however, now quite a number cultivated, including the Azorean forget-me-not, with very deep blue or indigo-colored flowers, and other shades, as white and rose, raised by means of the florist’s art. Fanny Osgood, somo years ago, gave the following anecdote of tho origin of the now well-known name: “It is re¬ lated that a young couple ’who were on the banks of the Danube, saw one of these lovely flowers floating on the waters, which seemed ready to carry it away. The affianced bride admired the beauty of the flower, and regretted its fatal destiny. The lover was induced to precipitate himself into the water, where he had no sooner seized the flower than he sank into the flood, but, making a last effort, he threw tho flower upon the shore, and at the moment of disappearing forever, he exclaimed, ‘Vergess mir nicht,’ since which timo this flower has been emblematical, and taken tho namo of Forget-me-not.” Lay to thy heart this token flower; With love’s own tears its leaves are wet. iTwill whisper in its dying hour, Do not forget. —Prairie Farmer. The Cost of a Menagerie. This tigress in that cage, said an animal keeper to a St. Louis Qlobe-Democrat man, is worth $3000 spot cash, and those little cubs there aro worth $500 apiece. It takes money to buy lions and tigers; most other animals are drugs in tho market—elephants, camels, pan¬ thers, monkeys and animals as common as those. You can buy a whole tent full of these for a few thousand dollars. A fine hippopotamus is tho most expen¬ sive animal a circus can carry around; one will cost anywhere from $5000 to $15,000, and then they aio so delicate, although they don’t look so, to be sure, that they are likely to die at any minute from somq littlo ailment like a tooth-' acho or a fit of indigestion brought on by a lack of exorcise. People don’t come to a circus to see the animals as much as they used to, and I think it will not bo long until shows will stop carrying a menagerie ifith them. A Chiropodist Ha* His Say “Tear before last Iliad two wome a patrons to one man,” said a chiropodist. “But last year, and so far this year, the falling off in the former patronage has been more than one half. But there has been no decrease in the num¬ ber of my male customers. How do I in account shoes for is responsible all this? 'Easily. for it Fashion A and the high, French year a half ago narrow heels were the fashion in woman’s shoes, and they are one of the best friends a chiropodist can breeders have.

I saw two women jugglers at Jeypore, writes Frank G. Carpenter. They were bright, intelligent-looking girls, one of whom appeared almost old enough to be the mother of the other. They did many wonderful things, one of which was mix¬ ing up sand in water and then putting the hand into the discolored fluid, they brought a handful of sand, which they filtered lirough their fingers as dry as before it went in. The youngest fo these tall, girls was perhaps fine-look¬ fifteen. She was well-fonned and ing. She had bracelets on arms and on feet, and her eyes were ns beautiful as those of a gazelle. One of her tricks was the lifting of a heavy chair by her eye¬ lids, the thought of which almost makes my eyes sore. Tho which choir belonged was a heavy tho mahogany one, to room m which I was staying. She tied two strong strings to the t< p of this and affixed the ends of these strings each to about her eyes by little round cups, the size of a nickel. These fitted over the eyeballs and under the lids, and she bent over while they were so fastened. Raising herself, she pulled be up muscles the ©hair of ™ ith tb f?° w itb * ber i^ eyelids and carried . it from one side rj&le p f f rnnl ^ thb.othor. ok It was a hor signt, and she took the metal cups from her eyes sank they the filled floor. with I water told and she almost to herthe fr^wasdisgusting, and thatshe ought and never tho to try of it the again. show Still these for girls all this rest were well satisfied with two rupees * or about 7Q cents _ Clipped Coins. Most people who have to handle con¬ siderable quantities remarkable of silver money increase must in have noticed the the number of clipped or otherwise mu¬ tilated pieces. It is the exception silver to find, among a dozen pieces of taken at random, all of the coins as per¬ fect as they came from the mint. Here¬ tofore the c'ippers'have confined their work mostly to the halves and quarters; now they have begun a lively attack upon the standard dollar. The crime of coin clipping is inevitable, ami extreme¬ ly difficult of detection and punishment. The mutilation of a metal currency onco begun, proceeds at a rapid gait and in an increasing ratio. Silver money is espe¬ when cially in exposed general circulation, to this danger. gold Even coins represent values so considerable that the receiver is apt to examine them carefully before accepting (hem. There is, con¬ sequently, a much greater difficulty in passing them out of the hands of the clipper without detection. The world is casting about for cheap raw material for paper.
