The truth ,-.f t',o old saying that fort-

oecn il.ustrated in tho case of La) Wick-
land, an old man 03 years of age, and an
employe of the Illinois Central railroad
at McConnell, some fifty miles north of
Milan, Tenn. The story reads like a
There resided in tho city of
Aberdeen, Scotland, seventeen years ago
a rich and prosperous jeweler," Mr. Lai-
land Wickham, a man of family, which
consisted of himself, his wife, three sons
and three daughters.
The name of the eldest son was John,
and he was engaged to a young ladv of
his native city by the name of Craig, one
of the foremost of the beautiful Scotch
maidens of Aberdeen. Their marriage
was only deferred on arconntof some
business transactions.
One day Wickland burst into his wife's
room, greatly agitated, and exclaimed:
“Mary, we are ruined-utterly ruined!
pie shop has been broken into and at
least £12,(100 worth of plate anil jowelry
carried off. I have been with tho de
tectives through all the holes in the city
but we found no tface of the thief or of
the goods. The detectives think the
goods will never be discovered, nnd we
are mined if it is so." When this rob
bery occurred John Wickland was in
London, nnd he read tho news in a Lon
don newspaper. Ho hurried home and
fonnd the family in the greatest distress.
SEEK INQ A NEW FORTUNE.
For many days the Wicklands indulged
themselves in tho hope that some clew
would lie found to tlte robbers and their
precious woalth bo restored to them.
These hopes wore never realized. Tile
robbery, as the police said, had been
cleverly nnd cleanly done. No trace of
tho perpetrators or any part of tho prop-
erty was over discovered.
In the meantime Wickland had pnid
all his outstanding debts, and found
hirajelf a pauper without» sixpence. He
might hnve urged the robbery as a plea
for bankruptcy, but he was too conscien
tious ever to think of such a course, so
he paid his debts to tho lost penny. The
utter rain which had overtaken tho
Wicklands postponed the proposed union
between John and Miss Craig, and Mr.
Wickland struggled on for a few years,
his son John assisting him all the while,
but they could not even make a living.
It seemed that fate was against him.
About this time thousands of people
were leaving tho ,ld countries of Europe
and heading for America. Mr. Wick
land caught the emigration fever nnd
longed to come to this country. lie sold

I do not hesitate to say that the de

resjiect and self dependence can l>e arid
shonld ho tho work of the Christian
eburch in all her branches If Chris
tianity cannot, to this extent, leaven the
masses of the wage workers, it has failed,
and. lit least temporarily, must continue
to fail The wild rnin resulting from
that failure may reeall the church of
Christ to n field that her faithlew dis
obedience has led her for a time toaban
don.
She believes in tho value of man. tor
in him, lie ho never so fallen, she sees a
spark of everlasting,,esx she professes
to accept her Master's commands us di
vino laws binding on herself. Hie words
and acts are perfectly plain: he never
contemplated the abolition of all pover
ty. bnt he did distinctly command that
men should, us they valued bis gospel or
professed obedience to himself, draw
near lo each other, forgetting and tgnnr-
iug those things that for n short time
made them to differ.
He declared that the innermost and
eternal verities of our nature all men
have in common, anil that his followers
were to make imtch'of these, while they
were to make lee* of their differences of
possession and attainment Weakness,
failure, poverty were to draw ns to ont
brother, not drive ns from him. for in
the prevalence of these drawing, nniting
loving forces over tho sundering and
disuniting forces lay the hojie or out

came to Cairo, Ilia., and the boys stayed
there, while the old gentleman secured a
position further sooth, at McConnell, as
track walker and keeper of the tanks in
that vicinity.
I1AI-PIKESS AT LAST.
For years they have battled with diffi
culties. Dtiringall this time John and
Miss Craig kept np correspondence until
in Noveraliet, 1800, Miss Craig was
agreeably surprised at the sadden and
unexpected appearance in his native city
of John Wickland, who bore the joyful
intelligence that hi* family, their fortune
restored, would soon bo in theirold home.
How was it?
This happy termination came out in
this wise: A man named Johnson located
himself at McConnell as a merchant,
rnnuing a plantation and supply store.
His wealth in ready money was tho talk
of the town. He sold goods rapidly and
made money hand over fist. He took
great interest in the Wicklands and
seemed to evinco especial interest in the
facta relating to their robbery and ntter
rnin. It finally came ont that Johnaon
had been a prison bird and the cold
shoulder was tnrned to him by Lacy
Wickland, to whom he was paying at
tention. This seemed to nettle 1dm, and
he sent for the old gentleman to come to
him.
Their interview lasted two hours. At
length Johnson confessed that it was he
who had robbed Wickland of his health,
and coming to this country had trebled
his possessions. Ho gave the old man
his check for $50,000. So soon as this
happened the Wicklands decided to re
turn to their native land. When John
son heard of their determination he in
sisted on paying their passage back to
Scotland.
The strangest feature of the affair waa
that Johnson immediately sold out all
his belongings and went back to Scot
land a month after the family of Wick
land had returned, and a letter from him
to a friend announcing his marriage to
Miss Lucy Wickland, eldest daughter of
the man whom he had robbed, has been
received.—SL Lonis Globe-Democrat
Scadmodel,
Trivialities.
It is not always easy In any sphere to
discriminate between the trifling ami the
momentous. It is often n matter of com
parison, and judgment ami experience
are needed in the selection. Trifles are
not-to lw confounded with details, which
are often most important Neither are
things necessarily trifling beennse they
are small. A kind look, a gentle warn
ing, a cordial greeting, a slight service-
are sometimes despised as trifles, whet:
in truth they are signs of a generous ami
kindly nature, and carry untold blessings
to their recipients.
Many little things are tar more im
portant than what we uiisHca!! great
ones: they may indeed be tho true reali
ties, while the others may be insignifl-
cant. if each one will faithfully examine
the meanings nnd pnritoses of thevarions
spheres in which he moves, and endeavor
conscientiously to make them flrst in his
heart and lire, the trifles will sink inio
their proper and sntmrdiuate place.-
