The night was dead, but, dying, gavo
Hlrth to a drop of pearly dow
The morning woke, nnd waking, found
Tho drop In all Its lieauty new I
Calmly nnd modestly it lay,
Cradled In moss, a liquid gem,
Untouched by art, worthy n piaco
In Nature's fairest diadem.
Calmly tt lay, content lo bo
A drop of dew, nnd mitlilng.more.
Till l'liocbus rose, and then, forsooth,
Us happiness for aye was o'er.
This dowdrop cured, and, gH7lng, longed
1'or brilliancy nnd sparkling sheen
Would thai a diamond I could bo,
Mid emeralds ot leafy green I"
Then turned It to tho sun, nnd cried,
"aire me, O, give mo of thy light!
(Irant that with lustra glittering
My slmpio form may on bc4lght I"
"Forlicnr, o dewdrop," ITicebus said !
"Thou askest what Is death to theo
Seek not for more than Nattiro gave,
Hut with thy lot contented be."
"Nay, giro mo light, puro heavenly light
I long for It, for It I plno."
"Well, since thou wilt, poor foolish thing,
I gtvo It theo-tho light Is tlilne."
Tlio dewdrop sparkled In lis pride,
Nor Btayed to think upon tho cost 1
In trutli a diamond it seemed,
Awhllo It gilnted-and was lost I
,
And as the dewdrop, so my heart,
tlutrammcled, Joyous, calm, nnd freo
Until the Ood tif love arose,

Then prayed t for the gift of jlove,
Nor heard his words in warning given,
Hut prascd again, till love was mlnn ;

A J,UST LOVE.
Oil, mystio loveliness of clear, dear woman ;

Oh, pallid glow of beauty superhuman,

A dreary sweetness now your bloom enhances ;
Tlio earthly features wear the heavenly sinllo
That pictured angels bear In solemn trances
In silence of some dim cathedral aisle.
We met too late. Your promise has been plighted.
And until then It pleased me to bo free-
No glance of yours that met mine hunger sighted
Ever betrayed tho slightest thought of me.
Wo w ent our way with dreary commonplaces,

1 hough you have slept so long, my memory traces
Mid tears the memory of those evil days.
To you It seems n half-forgotten story,
In that tar land beyond tho pulse ot time,
And thinking ot you 'mid the saints in glory,
I sco how earthly lov e may be sublime.
I linger on and learn tlio grace of bearing
The nerveless pang that followB on your loss.

LEOAL INTEOUITY.
"Young men," said Judge Lurlington, ad-
dressini; liall'-a-dozeiv young lawyers, "never
advocate a cause into tlio work of which
you can not enter with n clear conscience.
Never accept a client whose cause you do
not believe, to bo just."
"Can that rule be always adhered to ?',
asked one of the listeners.
"It can," answered Lurlington, emphati
cally. "It is a lawyer's firm rock of founda
tion, and the only sure point of departure
to the respect and confidence of his fel
lows."
"Hitvo you always followed that rule,
Judge."
"I was never tempted from it hilt once"
ho replied. "I will loll you tlio story, if
you would like to hear it."
Of course they would liko to j and hav
ing laid aside his pipe, tho old man com
menced :
"One day I was waited upon by a man
who g.ivo his naiuo as Labiiu Sarfurt. lie
was of jniddle age, well dressed, and at first
sight appeared to bo a gentleman ; but tho
llusion was dispelled when approaching
business. Ho was hnrd and unfecling.uiid
naturally a villain. Success in speculation
had saved him from being a thiet or high
wayman. I heard of him as a heavy dealer
in the up-river lands. Ho asked mo if I was
willing to underlako a job which would call
me tn Sliireton. I told him I was open to
anything legitimate which would pay."
"Mr. Lurlington," said he, tapping me
with coarse familiarity upon tho arm,
"1 want to securo your services You
must not bo engaged on tho other side."
"I told him if ho would explain to mo
tlio case I might be belter able to give him
an 111 suit. He bit au enormous quid ol
tobacco from 11 black plug, nnd having got it
into shape between his jaws ho went 011 with
his story :
Tlio oaso was one of ejectment. An
elderly man, named l'liilip Acton, had died
leaving a valuable i slale. There was nearly
a thousand acres of laud, willi opportunities
for developing immense, water-iiovver, uml
ere many years that land would bo worth
more than a million dollars. At present,
upon tho estate, and claiming it as a son of
t.10 deccnsei', was a man calling himself
Henry Acton.
"lint," said Sarfurt,"ho is nut n legitiinato
child, His mother was Hetty Totwood, at
oni) tnio a gill in Acton's employ, Acton,
I know, was never married. Ho brought
the boy up and educated him, and now tho
fellow thinks ho will step into his protector's
shoes. I can prove that I am tho only liv
ing relative of l'liilip Acton, llowaimy
uncle my mother's brother and, to a law
yer as smart iuyoii.thero can bo no dilllculty
iu proving my title. I can bring the wit
nesses to your hand,"
"Ho lolil me bu would give mo five hun
dred dollars if I would undertake Ids case,
and an additional thousand if I gained. That
was a big lee far moro than I had then
made in all my pleadings.
It was tempting. And yet I saw that it
was not perfectly clear not entirely hon
est. "Tho probability was that this Henry
Acton was Philip's child! and it was not Im
possible (hat l'liilip hud married lletsy Tot
wood. It struck mo that Labnu Sarfurt was
a villain, and that ho fancied h lind young
Acton so lar (n Ills povyerthat lie cmid eject
hiui from the tltlo. Rut wliat'had I 'partic
ularly to do with that f If I accepted n
client, I must serve him. I had no business
but to serve his interest.
"I finally told Mr, Sarfurt that I would
think tho matter over. I should probably
liuvo business in Sliireton during the session
of tho court anil I would call 011 hi 111 there
and examine moro fully, I could not take
Ills retainer, until I had further light.''
"Hut," said he, will you promise not lo
ttko up for the other side ?"
"I told him I would do nothing without
further cwmullatiou with lilir.
"I!c?ause," ho ndclec), "If you nro tor me !
I run mro to win. Acton can't find a law
yer that can hold a cnndlo to vou. I know
them all."
NlTmntlor whether I believed him nr nut
I did nut feel flattered."
Two weeks latter I received a letter from
Sarlurl, promising mo fivo thousand dollars
It I won.
"I'lio five thousand dollars was a strong
argument j but was not law really a gamo of
chance, iu which tho strongest hand and
longest purse mut win ? I told myself yes.
Yea mul I sat down and wroto a reply.
Baying that I would tako the caso. Hut I
did not' mall It at onco That night I tint it
tinder my pillow, and slept ovef" It ; and on
tbolfollowlng morning I throw it Into the
fire. I would not make up my mind until I
had seen other partics-until I had been on
tho grounds. And 1 wroto to Laban Sarfurt
lo wait,
"Two weeks latter I harnessed my horse,
to tho wagon, and with my wlfo and child,
started for Sliireton. I had been married
two years, and our little babe, a girl, was a
year old, our pride, our pet and our darling.
Sliireton was distant about thirty miles. Wo
had been having rainy weather, for a week
or so, and it had now cleared off bright and
beautiful. Wo stopped nnd took dinner at
a wayside inn, four miles beyond which was
a stream which must bo forded. Tlio inn
keeper told 1110 that tho stream was some
what swollen from the late rains, but that if
my horse was trusty tlicro could bo no
danger.
"Arrived at tho stream tho Wnmpatuck
river I found tho water indeed risen, and
the current strong. Hut I saw that others
had recently gono over, nnd I resolyed to
venture. I knew my horse nnd had faith in
him. My wife was anxious, but slio trusted
my judgment. A third of tho way across
tlio water was over tho hub of the wheel.
A little more and it would reach the body
ot the wagon. I began to bo alarmed. I
feared I had left tho true track. Presently
my horso stumbled and Btaggcred, having
evidently stepped on a moving stone. The
wagon swayed and tipped, and tiio flood
poured In upon us. My wife slipiied, nnd
in a moment moro wo wero in tho water, but
with one hand I grasped tho harness upon
tlio horse, and with tlio other I held my wife,
I was thus struggling when .1 wild cry from
her lips startled tho air. Our child was
washed away,
"Ob, my soul I lean not tell you what I
suffered during those moments. I could not
help our darling! If I left my wife she was
lost. I clung to tho horse and clung to my
shrieking wife shrieking to Ood for mercy
for her child. The horso was struggling for
the shore. In the distance, upon tho bosom
of tho surging flood, I could sco our little
one, her whito dress gleaming in tho suu,
being born swiftly away.
"A moment moro and I saw a man piling"
from tho bank into the river. I saw thus
much, and then an intervening point of
land shut out tho scene. Tho horso was
now rapidly Hearing tho shore, and ere long
my wife and I wero upon dry land, witli tlio
horse and wagon. As soon as I was sure my
wifo was sale, I left her to care for the horse,
while I posted olfdown tho river bauk in
quest of the swimmer nnd the child.
"You may well understand that all this
time I was frantic. I was a maehino being
operated upon by a surging and agonizing
emotion. How long or far I wandered I do
not know ; but at length I met a man wet
and dripping, with my darling in his arms
my darling safe and sound I
"He told mo ho had caugh tho child with
in a few rods of the fall, and that in landing
lie had cleared the fatal abyss by not more
than two yards ! lie was a young man not
moro than twenty-live handsomo nnd stal
wart. Ho said ho had seen my wagon tip.
and was coining to my assistance when ho
caw tho child washed away
"I threw my lifo into the balance," sail
he, with a peuial smile, "and thank God
both lives wero saved."
"I asked him how I should ever repay
him. IIo stopped mo with an imploring
gesture.
"If you talk of moro pay than I have al
ready received," ho said. "If you can rob
1110 of tho onlv solid reward I can claim
Mercy I if saving tho life of such a cherub
is not enough reward of itself, then hard I
tho heart that can cravo more." And witl
moistened eyes ho told me that he had a
child of bis own at home an only child
of nearly the same ago.
"I asked him if ho would tell mo his name
and with a smile he ausivered that it did tint
matter ho was not sum that lie bad a name.
I then asked him if ho knew me. He nod
ded, and said ho thought I might bo Mr.
Lurlington, of Iialdbridge, and when I told
him ho was correct, ho said that I must ex
cuse him, He was wet and must hurry home.
And with that ho turned away. I was ton
deeply moved to stop him, and when ho had
disappcaied I started to rejoin my wife with
n dawning impression that tho man might
be slightly deranged. Hut my darling was
safe her broad, fleecy cloak had floated out
and kept her head above tho water and I
went 011 my way rejoicing, resolved that the
preserver of my child should not bo for
gotten. "I will not tell you tho emotion of my
wifu when sho held her child once moro in
her arms. Wo reached Sliireton before night
and found quintets at a comfortable tav
ern. "Ou tho following day Laban Sarfurt
called upon me, and was about to spread his
evidence for my inspection whev I inten opt
ed him, I told him I could not accept his
confidence until I hat mado up my mind tn
tako Ills case in hand. Something seemed
to whisper that there was danger ahead, I
I di'd nut feel comfortable, Iu that man's
presence, I felt us though ho was trying to
buy me. Tlio court would sit iu four days.
I told him I would sit lu four days. I told
him I would give him a final answer In two
days from that.
"That evening I made a confident of my
wlfo, and asked her what X should do. 'If
I tako tho case,'' I said, "I am Buro of fivo
thousand dollars." She bade me do what
was right. God has been very kind to m,
she said. Let us look to Him fur our guid
ance," 'After this I callfil on tho clergyman of
tho place whose sou bud been my chi&i-nialo

Ulc father and mother wero married. Met
sey died soon after tho child was born, and
wo know that l'liilip always treated tho boy
at a legitimate child ; and that he loved him
as such I can confidently nlh'rin."
On the following morning nftcr breakfast,
as I sat by the window iu tho bar-rooui, I
saw coming up tho street the man who had
naved my child. He was walking slowly,
like 0110 In trouble. I painted him out to
my host, and asked him who he was.
"That is Henry Acton. I'ethaps ou havo
hpard of tho trouble ho is likely tu have with
Laban Sarfurt V
I said I had heard.
"I hopo ho may como out all right," tho
host added j "but I am fearful. He has got
a hard and heartless customer to deal with."
"I shut my mouth and held my peace un
til Laban Sarfurt called for his final answer.
I said to him :
"Mr. Sarfurt, I havo been considering all
this titno whether 1 could undertake your
case with a clear conscience whether I
should be helping the sldo ol juslico and
right in helping you. I had concluded that
I could not do so before I had seen Henry
Acton, to know him by unino. I nor know
him for a man who nobly risked bis own life
to savn tho life of my child. I'or that, in
deed, I will reward him If 1 can. I havo as
yet accepted not one of your privato disclos
ures. I have gained from you nothing that
you could wish to keep from tho public. I
cannot tako your case, but I tell you frankly
that if you prosecute, I will defend Hciiry
Acton."
I did not mind Sarfurt's wrath. He raved
and swore, and then ho went oil' and engaged
two lawyers from Herkimer to tako his case.
I called upon Acton and told him I would
defend him if ho accepted my service as I
had accepted his. Ho took my band and
thanked me.
I havo made a great many pleas In my
life, but I think I never made a better one
than I made to the jury ou that oeciuion.
Iheywero not out over fivo minutes, lly
their verdict Henry Acton was tlio lawful
possessor of the estnto his father had left.
From that day I never hesitated to refuso
n caso to which I could not give my heart.
Such a stand on tho part of a lawyer becomes
known, and the public, feels it ; nnd wiiat
the public feels, juries are sure to feel.
Conetrning Henry Acton, I will only add,
N10 became my bosom friend. He always
felt that be owed bis title to bis valuable
piopcrty to me; and I.knew that I not only
owed tho lifo of my child, but that to him I
was indebted for tho home that was mine
for thirty years. He was very delicate in
the gift of that piece of property. He deeded
it to my wife. The husband of my oldest
daughter is his oldest sou
Spiiutuai.istio Phenomena. The per
suasive spirit ot Katie King, which so deep
ly influenced Mr. Wallace and other men of
science and note in England, was unablo to
copo with the unsparing rigors of our cli
mate, and turned out to be a very simple
deception. The more recent wonders of tlio
samo kind also have been wholly deprived
of their miraculous character. There are.
however, instance!) of singular responses
made by the "mediums" to certain questions
evidences of knowledge of things pecu
liarly intimate and personal, which are cu
rious and surprising, and for the explanation
ol which the key seems not to have been
found. These, however, may fairly be class
ed with all well-attested phenomena of the
uijiiii sniu ui nature. nu as many other
apparently inexplicable phenomena occur
ring at the same time nnd under tlio same
circumstances are attributed by the opera
tors to spiritual agencies, but prove to bo tho
result of exceedingly material forces, it is
illogical to assume that tho rest cannot havo
a similar explanation. Many, fortunately
requiro noue. Tho poetry of the departed
Shakspeare and the wisdom of tho translated
Bacon or Franklin aro plainly duo to lunar
Influences not in heaven, but upon earth.
Consolation administered by spry table legs
and assurances of immortality proceeding
from tambourines happily do not cry for ex
planation. They explain themselves. Sig-
nor Blitz could give such spirits the odds and
win the game.
One of tho recent avatars was that of a
woman, who, being tied fa3t, was in some
manner waited upon by mysterious agencies
which did what no living person could do
who did not use arms, hands, feet or body
As usual, tho things wero done behind a
serene. The "spirits" arc not content with
their own invisibility. Tho laws of tho
spiritual world, it seems, requiro that the
medium through whom they manifest them
solvis should be invisible also. If a guitar
is played, it nuK be in a box or cabinet, or
in the dark, or behind a screen, Whv the
spirits i.f heavenly light fear tlio light 0
earth, or the spirits.of jti't men made per
feet are unwilling to confront tho gazoo
very unjust and imperfect men, doth not ai

pear Jim uieiiiuui ean otitv assure us tlia
it is part of the mystery. Doubtless there
aro many honest people who went to tlio ex
iiitiiiinns ot 1110 medium, paying money at
the door, and who camo away firmlv con
viuccd that they had witnewd superuutura
phenomena. For how could a woman witl
her hands tied behind her back thrum a
guitar, put a pail upon her head, drive a
nail into a board, blow a flageolet, or tlo a
knot iu a band around her neck ?
These woro precisely tho questions which
.Mr. w . Irving Bishop undertook to answer,
That such things could bo done by spirits ho
did not propiHo to question. Ho would onlv
show that they could bo dono by men and
women also, if ho could do this, tho "su
pernuturi.1" would vanish, and the "mo
dlum would bo compelled to prove that they
wero not none by ner clever self behind tht
screen. If, again, sho could not provo this
she must bo constdeicil as an exnosed hum

what lie promised. In company with
committee of well-known citizens of New

placed in a chnlr, and his bauds wero tied
closely to a ring in a postbehlud him. and
his neck was. tied to another, as If he were
about to undergo the punishment of tho gar-
rote. ill feet were also tied together by

bourine and bells camo flying over the cur
tain, which was at once withdrawn, and Mr,
Hlshnp was found closely tied. It was obvi
ously mysterious, and probably tho work of
sjiirita. Perhaps Plato nnd Galileo Were
thus illustrating the immortality of tlio soul.
A board with a nail and hammer wax
laced by his side, tho curtain was drawn,
and Instantly hammering was heard. Tho
rtaln was pulled back ; Mr. Bishop was
tied close, and the spirits had hammered tho
nail fast Into the board, A pail was placed
pon his tap, tho curtain drawn to supply
the proper spiritual conditions, and the next
moment ho was seen with tho pail, llkc'n
ight-cap, upon his head, A doll was cut
from paper, a guitar was plavcd, water was
drunk from a tumbler on his knee, while
his feet were held fast and his neck tied
close to a ring behind him. Atl was done
behind 11 screen, nnd If it was not spirits,
what was it? It is the question which very
honest and intelligent and scientific men
havo asked. No man bound in this inannor
could possibly do theso things. Hut they
are dune. No human collusion is possible.
What docs them ? "My bauds." answered
Mr. Hishop. And forthwith, bound as ho
was, and in full view of the audience, he re
peated what ho had done behind the curtain
and showed that it was due to suppleness,
agility, great quickness, and self-possession.
Alas lor Plato and Galileo 1 Supernatural-
ism? Spiritual agencies? Does the courte

Dr. Hrovviison's Chnrlet JUwood, "And Eliz

at a Democratic ratification mooting In

"I look askance at this country, and see

are to-day further away from specie payment

might as well try to carry water in a sievo
as to carry on a goycrnment successfully
with dishonesty in high places. Since the
Democracy attained a majority in the llouao
of Hepresenativcs look what an amount of
dishonesty has been uprooted, and then look
how these revelations were received. Not
single Itepublican member of the lIouscAiut
disapproved of the exposures. They hive
shown by their conduct of what metal they
aro cast. Let tbenstep down and out.
"Now who aro the Itepublican candidates?
They are Hayes and Wheeler men of per
soiial respectability, but little known. They
aro men who have gouo through .their, polib

tho other hand, what do wo oll'er you ? W

tho State of New York for tho last three
years. Four years ago New York was ruled

Who ia a Gentleman. A gentleman is
a person not merely acquainted with rer
tain forms ami etiquette of life, easy and
self-possessed in society, able to ftpeuk aiid
move iu the world without awkwardness,
and freo from habits which are vulgar uml
iu bad taste. A gentleman is something be
yond this ; that which lies at tlio root of
every Christian virtue. It is tho thoughtful
desiro of doing in every instance what others
should do unto him. IIo Is constantly
thinking, not, indeed, how he may give
pleasure to others for the mero sene of
pleasing, but how ho may avoid hurting
their feelings. When ho is iu society he
scrupulously ascertains the position and re
lations of every ono with whom ho comes iu
contact that he may give to each his due.
honor, bis proper position. lie studies how
ho may avoid touching In conversation on
any subject which may needlessly hurt tiieir
feelings how be may abstain from allusions,
which may call up n disagreoablo or oll'en-
give association. A gentleman never alludes
and never even appears conscious of any de
fect, bodily deformity, Inferiority of talent,
of rank, of reputation, in the person lu
whoso society he is placed. He never as
sumes any superiority to himself, never rid
icules, never Bticers, never boasts, never
makes a display of hit own power, or rank,
or advantages such as is implied in habits,
or tricks or inclinations, which may bo of
fcusivo to others.
CmsnsE llAuiinu Siiop.s. Tho Ohiueso,
barber shops in San Francisco aro more nu
merous than those of any other railing. On
Dupont street, between Sacramento and
Clay streets, there are not less than fifty
basement apartments devoted to tousorial
operations. At first blush the wonder aiises
why so many of tboso establishments nro
needed ; but stand on the streets iu the quar
ter and glance at tho head of eaeli passing
Chinaman and the mystery is dispelled.
Among them no toilet is considered complete
which does not involve a shaving of 11 great
er portion of the head and neck, n thorough
cleansing of tho eyes, ears and nostrils, ran.d
even a trimming and penciling-of thet eye
brows and lushes. Itnzors, probe", and lan
ces of peculiar construction, are among iho
instruments used by these skillful artists.
The process of shaving and e'teniising is ne
cessarily a long one, and when a Chinaman
emerges from one of there shops he may bo
safely counted as thoroughly clean aboyo
tho shoulders Tim combing nnd braining
of cues consumes no Iitile time. Every
Chinaman of adult years regards nn occa
sional temsorinl experience as a sacred duty.
The closely shaven head must bo scraped
over often to preserve tlio appearance eo
much desired, and all this, in a place tn
populous as tho "quarter" in this city, re
quires tho constant service of n ntimerpus
force. All tlio barber simps of the Chinese
have n peculiar sign at the doorway indiqa
tive of tho occupation. It isji "fourTlcggeil,
