CnoHua, Then "bear goo t will to nit men, It's ensy If you'll try, And "always do to others m You'd wish to bo done by" Perhaps In hnslueis you'vo been wrongod By some "defaulting rogue," For by such scamps tho world h thronged, They long lme been In vogue : Don't seek roveuo on such a wretch, But to forgive him try, And thus you, "do to others as lou'd wish to bo done by,' Cnoiius. Then "bear good Witt to alt men,' It's easy If you'll try, And "always do to others ai You'd wish to bo dono by," If you nro rich, and somo "oVl friend" Is "down nt heel" and poor. Well, let tho bar of station bend, And 'opeti wide your door" To welcome him, as you were wout In better days gono by,' And thus you do to him, poor mm, As "you'd w ish to be dono by.' Cnout8. Then "bear good will to nit mon," It's easy If you try, And "always do to others as You'd wish to bo dono by," I think by what I've said or sungi In this my hong tn-nhjht, That I luivo proved to every ono 7 he glorious might of right. So let us all make this resolve, And keep It till wo die, That is to "do to others ni Wd wlhh to bo done by," Ciiouus, Then "boar good will to nil meu," It's easy If you'll try, And "always do tot ohers M We'd wish to be done by," Jurtjro Yp Not.

"And we'll seo who'll sit to tho most purpose. If Susan can't marry tho kind of a man sho wants to, sho can stay at homo, and that's tho end of it." With this clincher mother Llppo turned her faco to tho wall, and refused to say another word. In tho meantime, Henry Coverdalo as gradually winning his way to emi nence. As a speaker ho stood head and shoulilois abovo any of tho young men, his associates at tho bar. Tho result of his efforts also began to How In upon him in a golden stream. Yet, still ho remained a bachelor, though many wondered. Still there wero no signs of old Mr. LInno rolaxlnz in tho Ioaat from his vlows on "education." However, tilings wero destined to shapo themselves entirely different to what a mero observer might reasonably hope to expect. This grew out of Covcrdale's lovo for Susan, which now assumed tho east of Impatience. Ono day a young man In homespun garb presented himself at tho houso of old Mr. Llppo, and Inquired If ho want ed to hlro a hand on tlio farm. Tho old farmer eyed him for somo moments, and finding him remarkably ell favored and knit together, said : "Where aro you from ?" "1 live at Monroo, when nt homo." eplicd tho young man. "Raised on a farm?" "Yes, sir." "About how much do you want a month?" "Whatever you think Is right." "You'll never get along In tho world, unless you drlvo a better bargain than that," said Mr. Llppp. "ilut I'll tell ou wnai I'll uo. You shall work a month for twenty' dollars, aud after that, If wo suit ono another, wo'll bar gain for a year." "Agreed," said tho young man, and was forthwith installed as hired hand. s tlio reader guesses, tho hand was nono other than Henry Coverdalo, who iad commenced to put lutooporatlon a lan to gain tho old man's consent to his union with Su.an. Tlmo wagged along. Old Llppo was mightily pleased with his hired hand, and often praised him to the women folk. Indeed ho looked with a degreo of complacency on his attentions to Su san, which begnn to bo marked, and Coverdalo was on tho point of popping tho question,when it clrcumstanco hap pened as follows: The farm of Mr. Llppo was a part of a tract, tho tltlo of which had formerly been In dispute, though it was Indeed and In equity his. Just at this tlmo ono of theto land sharks that infest tho country raked up a worthless claim, and entered suit for possession. This proceeding was so obviously ab surd and rascally, that Mr. Llppo mere ly laughed atlt, although at tho advlco of his hired hand ho appeared at court o refuto tho claim : supposing, how ever, that ills baro word would bo all sufficient to disposo of tho 6coundrel of aland shark. Ills hired hand also con cluded to loso tho day nnd go with him, n order, ho said, "to seo what a judge and court wero like," Old Mrs. Llppo nnd Su-ati accompa nied them for tho purpo-o of making toiuo purchases, as they could got better largalns In tho county town than In Stanhope. This conversation of tho family had placed Henry Coverdalo In full posses sion of tho facts In tho case, and ho had manifested such an Interest In the af fair, and appeared to boso anxious as to tho result, that the old man was not as tonished at hcelug hlin enter tho bar ami tako a chair by his side, Ho notic ed, also, that his dnnio and Suitn wero among the spectatorsjn Uio court-room Tho ca-o was called and tho lawyer fiii'thupliilntiil'nroso and madooutso plau-siblo u statement that It enraged tlio old man dreadfully, so much that ho could bcarcely contain himself until tho lawyer concluded.

"Hero aro deeds, aud every man In this court room knows mo well enough to know that I nevtr got them by ra?callty, or claimed moro than was Justly mlno." "All this may bo truo," replied tho Judge, "but tho court demands legal proof rolatlvo to tho points at issue. I presume you havo an uttornoy, Mr. Llppo V" "Never said a word to a single ono. I novtr thought It worth wlillo.''saldtho old until, perfectly aghast at tho turn matlors weru taking. At this bingo Llppo's hired hand rose to his feet. "May It please tho court, I will un dertake tho caso for Mr, Llppo," ho said, "A pretty caso you'll mako of it," said tho old man, "You can plow corn a wonderful sight better." "1 assuro Mr, Llppo that Mr. Cover. dale Is perfectly competent for tho tnsk," said thojudgo, who was well ac- qtutlntcd with tho young lawyer, and Who, though Ignorant of his present re lations, fancied ho smelt a Joko in tho actions of tho parties. "Mobboyour honor Is right," said Mr. Llnno! "but nlacuo tako me. If you 'don't find him a likely sight bettor farm hand than lawyer." A general titter ran around tho bar. Tho suit proceeded. Tho young at torney, having proviously mastered tho whole ground, entered Into Its merits with such forco and clearness as aston ished ovon tho court. But how shall wo paint thosurpriso of old Mr. Llppo! It took him by storui. At every word of tho young lawyer ho seemed to dis tend with astonishment, until his amazement was something so ridicu lously appalling as to convulso tho en tire nudlcnco with laughter. Peal after peal resounded, and even tbo fat sides of tho Judgo, forgetting their gravity, seemed ready to shako to pieces with merriment, "Who, who, who aro you?" at last gasped tho old man. 'Sit down, Mr. Llppe," said Cover- dale. "I am attending to tho case." Then stooping ho whispered In his ear ; "I am trying to earn Susan." "Sho's your's," shouted tho old man, regardless of tho bystanders, or tho court, which having now an Inkllnir of tho matter, gavo a Iooso rein to their Jubilant feelings. HowSusan felt, how ever, can bo better Imagined than de scribed. Sho blushed llko ono of her mother's peonies, and hastily hid her faco in her veil. When tho merriment had subsided and old Mr. Llppo had secured his equa nimity, tlio happy attorney proceeded, and finally madoso clear a caso for his involuntary client, B3 caused tho Judgo to dismiss tho suit. Tho old man left tho court lu triumph, and with his hired hand, proceeded forthwith to thoclerk's ofllec, whero a llcenso was procured. Tho judgo gavo tho court a short rccosa and united tho happy pair in tho bonds of matrlmouy. Slnco that event, Mr. Llppo has changed his vlows on educational mat ters. Tho other day as Judgo Cover dalo was leaving homo to tako his seat lu Congress, ho Bald to his grandson: "Llppo Coverdalo, get your lessons well, and who knows but what you'll go to Congress too." "Who knows 1" oxelalmcd tho happy Susan. Ancient Coin-'. Money consists of whatovor Is used in exchange for something else. As soon as mankind Increased in numbers. they commenced to exchaugo ono arti cle for another In trado. This was dono flrst, by using somo substance of groat valuo and small in bulk. At a very early period metallc exchanges wero madoby weight, tho giver of tho money weighing out so many pieces of gold or eilvor. At a later period actual coins, having a certain weight and guaranteed by tho government with tho stamp or seal of tho State, wero mado tho medi um of exchanges. At what period gold and silver wero first used is not known. Nearly 2,000 years beforo tho Christian era, Abraham roturned from Ecypt, very rich In cattle, sliver and gold. Tho shapo ot silver aud gold among tho Egyptians appears to havo been that of a ring, with an opening on onosidoto form a chain when It was necessary. This sort of monoy passod by weight. Tims Abraham weighed four hundred sheckels of money to tho merchant. Tho Jews never had any other mode of using coin than by weight so long as they wcro an Independent nation. Furthermore, It may bo a' now idoa to many that thoy never used gold as a coin. Sliver and copper wero their solo medium. You nover hear them talking about slieckels of gold In any of their writings. Among tho Egyptians nnd Assyrians tho coin was frequently in tho shapo of a bheep or a lamb, possibly of thu value of thoso animals. It has been supposed that tho change from weight to a coin representing u given valuo was first mado by tho Romans. Tho pound weight was stamped with tho Imago of au ox, Ilenco our word veaintarj is derived from the Latin word peeunia, signifying money, which in turn was derived from tho word peeu, signifying cattle. Thus au immense stride was made In civilization whon a real valuo was given to coin guaranteed by tho State, so ns to avoid tho necessity of weighing It ovory tlmo a transaction was made. Tho earliest coins wero ex ceedingly rudo In character. They Wero not perfectly round, as you now seo them, A dlo was formud, over which tho coin was placed, and then It was struck witli a punch, which stamped tho coin on one side, and left a rudo dent on the other. After awhile, a dlo was mado on tho end of the punch so that both sides wero stamped. Aloxander I, King of Macedonia, Is tho first who had his naino Htamped upon a coin, Tho Athonlaus mado tho owl their typo. This gavo rise to tho anecdote of tho Athenian miser, tho roof of whoso houso was said to bo In fested with a vast numbor of owls, In allusion to money of tho well known Athenian typo being concealed thcro. Tho Romans carried on tho coining of money to a high degroo of perfec tion. Each Stato uud somotlmcs a sin gle city was authorized to Issue Its own coins. Every coin was a brief history of the ugo In which It was struck. Tho skill of thonrtizau, tho composition of tho coin, tho history of tho people, and the namo of tho ruling monarch wore frequently told on tho samo coin. It is probable that almost tho only portraits wo havo of tho ancients nro what may bo seen on ancient coins that havo eomo down to us, It Is very singular that when thby could stamp on copper, sil ver and gold the names of kings, that tho art of printing was not known tilt within less than five hundred years. Au Immoihso number of ancient coins aro preserved In museums In Europe. They are valuable records of past his tory. Thoy nro lu fact printed books, on whoso surfacos uro stamped tho rec ords of past ngos, It Is said Unit ancient Roman coins nro still In circulation lu Spain. They navouocomo wont smooth laud thin by time. Maine ltrmer. Women anil Politics. Tho advocates of what aro called wo man's rights demand that women shall bo admitted to all tho political or.other functions at present discharged solely by men. It Is objected that various gravo Inconveniences, arising out of tho more fact of sexual dlffercnco, would follow such a chango ; that women themselves would bo losers by It In many respects, nnd that tho host of them would suffer In their purity and refinement by being mixed up in somo of man's ruder avocations. To this tho answer is, that tho Introduction of wo man as nn actlvo participant "vlll puri fy politics, transform trado, and reform society generally. Woman, bo'.ng tho bettor clement, will put down tbo worso clement as scon as sho gets fair play. Allowing that tho mass of femalo morality in thlsor any othor country la far beyond the mass of malo morality (a proposition which Is by no means an axiom, and might bo mado tho themo of much discussion), it docs not at all follow that tho universal combination of tho two forces will produco an im provement. When wo pour a certain quantity of cognac into n certain quan tity of water, wo can tell exactly what percentage of alcohol our grog will con tain. Whon wo tako a dcDntto propor tion of gamboge, wo can tell precisely what shade of green will be produced by tho mixture. IJut wo cannot settle moral combinations beforehand on this tangible and mechanical basis. An In nocent young man who consorts with vicious associates Is in danger of being corrupted by them. Few parents would like to run tholchanco of his convert ing tho others; tho oxperlmont would bo too risky. On tho other hand, let a vicious boy enter a select school ; ho may bo reformed there, or ho may dam ago tho wliolo establishment. Any of us who havo had experience In theso matters know how careful teachers of first-class schools aro to weed out their black seecp for fear of the harm thoy may do. It Is not an absolute question of number. Suppose thoro is a small percentage of women lit oxces3 of men throughout tho country, and that thn women nro (by our first assumption) moro moral than tho men, It does not follow that their infusion Into politics or trado will render politics or trado less corrupt. For, in thu first placo, women aro in are aristocratic and exclusive than men ; and even if wo assumo that this dlllerenco Is not natur al, but a result of custom und legisla tion, it is a result now so fixed that much tlmo will ba necessary to roverso It. More womon than men will shrink from tbo dirty work of politics and tho rout I no of business, and tho delinquents will bo women of tho hotter class ; so that tho femalo box will have, on tho wholu, worso representatives In actlvo life than tho malo sex. Secondly, it may wol! bo asked whether a portion at least of thoso virtues in which wo men aro supposed peculiarly to excol may not bo duo to their freedom from certain temptations to which mon aro exposed. A monk or a prisoner Is In capacitated for committing many sins because- ho cannot obtain tho material and opportunity for them In his con vent or prison. A gentleman living on his means, bo thoy largo or small, has not tho samo temptation to falsehood and dishonesty as a lawyer (according to tho present standard of lawyers), a shopkeeper, u stock broker, an editor, n member of Congress, or a professional politician of any kind. Throw women into tho political arena, aud somo of, tho fairost features of their moral su pcrlority will bo oxposod to a rude aud perilous test. "Popular Fallacies," by Carl Benson, m Galuxyfor November, Old Maid. A quaint and gallant writer of somo fifty years ago says : "I love an old maid I do not speak of an Individual, but of the species use tho singular number, as speaking of singularity inhumanity. Auold maid Is not merely an antiquarian, sho is an antiquity; not merely a record of the past, but tho vory past itself, sho has escaped a great change, and syuipathls cs not In the ordinary mutations of mor tnlity. Sho Inhabits a llttlo eternity o her own.

There is something about them which Is not of tho earth earthly. Thoy ro spectators of thu world, not ramblers nor adveuturors; perhaps guardians wo say nothing of tattlers, thoy aro ev idently pedestlnated tu bo what they aro. They owo not tho singularity of their conditions to any lack of beauty, wisdom, wit, or good tompor; there Is no accounting for it but on the prlncl plo of fatality. I havo known many old maids, and of them all, not one that has not possessed as many good and amlablo qualities as ninety and nino of a hundred of my married acquaintances, Why, then, aro thoy Blngle? It Is their fate. Proverbs, Hero Is a vnluablo bunch of proverbs: Borrowed garments sel dom fit well. Hasto often 'rips up its own heels. Mon oflon blush to hear what they aro ashamed to do. What Is notneoded Is dear at any ptlce. He who buys too many Buperllulties may bo obliged to steal his necessaries. A fool generally looses his estate boforo ho finds his folly, A man that hoards his riches und enjoys them not, Is llko an ass that carries gold aud oats thistles. Towers uro measured tiy their shadows, and great men by their calumniators. That man who knows tho world will n over bu bashful, nnd that man who knows himself will never bolmpudent Succcts rides on ovory hour grapplo it and you may win ; but without a grap plo, It will never go with you.

Thooxamplo of tho Into General Lee n refusing ull gifts, and declining to rccelvo compensation for sorvlrtn not rendered, is moro worthy to his coun try aud to nil who follow it, than mil lions in gold. Tlio facts hero staled will not bo forgotten : in tho winter of 1804 tho Cllv Conn- cil of Richmond tendered aeiier.il Leo an elegant mansion as somo token of tho high estimation in which ho was held by tho city which ho liBtl so long defendod. Rut tho grand old man re plied : "I do not expect to bo in Rich mond during tho continuatico ol tho war, and my family aro as comfortablo as they havo a right to expect In thoso times. I must, therefore, with my thanks for your consideration, most ro- spoctfully decllno your offer. If you havo money to glvo, I hope you will bestow It upon my prlvato soldlers.who aro moro in need and moro deserving than myself. At tho close of tho war offers of pe cuniary asslstanco pourod in upon him rrom all sides, but ho steadfastly rofus ed to rccelvo them. An English nobleman, thinking ho ould rejoice in somo placo of retroat from his afflictions, wrote to offer him splendid country scat and a handsomo annuity. Ho nobly replied : "I am deeply grateful, but I canuot consent to desert my native Stato In tho dark hour of her adversity. I must nbldo her for- tuno and sharo hor fate." Soon alter he took chargo of Wash ington College ho was visited by tho agent of an insuranco company, who offerod him tho presidency at a salary of ten thousand dollars.

That will abund antly compensato us." "Excuse me, sir," was tho prompt and decided rejoinder, "I cannot con sent to rccelvo pay for service! I do not render." Ho received many offers of this sort, and Just a short tlmo beforo his death, largo manufacturing company in New York offered him a salary of fifteen thousand dollars a year if ho would bo como their president. But to all such offers ho had tho samo reply his duty In tho collego fully occupied his time, and ho would not recelvo pay whero ho did not render service Ho refused to receive from tho col- logo anything llko so largo a salary as thoy doslrod to pay him, and whon, In 1889, tho trustees decrcod to Mrs. Lee a houso and annuity of three thousand dollars, tho Gonoral respectfully declin ed, on Mrs. Loo's behalf to accpt it.

Christian Observer. Corporal Punishment, Tho relation of teacher and scholar Is greatly misunderstood, both on tho part of parents and toachers. Y'ot, it should not oven bo debatablo, because Its every day life. It Is decided by tho courts, that It is tho buslnoss of tho teacher to exact obedience In school, and it is his logal right. "Ho must oxerclso reason ablojudgmont and discretion in deter mining, when to punish aud to what extent." Various reasons unite to make him tho best judgo of tho occasion and extent. "To form a correct opinion as to the necessity and oxtcntof the punishment, considerable allowance should bo made to tho teacher by way of protecting him in tho cxerclso of his discretion. Heneo tho teacher is not liable on the grounds of excess of punishment, un less It is clearly excessive. If thcro is any reasonablo doubt whether the pun- ishmont was excessive, the teacher should havo tho benefit of the doubt." As to tho effect of marks made In whipping, the following caso is the rul ing ono ou record : A lady in Now Y'ork punished a small child to such an ox tent as to leave marks, all or winch weroorsuch a character as to pass away and leavo no permanont Injury. Thu Judgo instructed thejury that If thoy bellevoj tho child (six or seven years old) had been whipped so as to leave marks, tho toucher was guilty of assault and battery. Under tho chargo tho Jury found tho lady guilty, but sho appealed to a higher court, In which Judgo Gaston In an ablo and ex. haustivo opinion reversed tho decision of tho court below. Hear him : But any correction, howovor sovero, which produces temporary pain only, and no permanent 111, cannot be pro nounced immoderate, slnco it may havo been necessary for tho reformation of tho child, aud doos not Injuriously affect its futuro welfare. Within tho sphero of his authority, tho master is thojudgo whon correction is required, and of tho degreo of correction necessary ; and llko all others trusted with a discretion, ho cannot bo mado penally rosponslblo for error ofjudgraent, but only for wicked ness of purposo. Thero was an error in the instruction given to thojury, that If moclilld was whipped by tho defend ant, bo as to occasion marks, the teacher had exceeded her authority and was guilty as charged. Tho marks wero all temporary, and in a short tlmo dlsap peared, no permanent injury was dono to tho child." This is tho law In Pennsylvania, and prosecutors will not find It an easy matter to got this decision reversed by any court tn the State. Guilt, though it may attain temper al splendor, cau nover confer real hup plness. Tho evil consequences of crimes long survlvu their commission, and, llko tho ghosts of tho inurdorod, forever haunt tho malefactor, Tho paths of vir tue, though very seldom thoso of world ly greatness, aro always thoso of pleas antness and poaco.
