When you meet with one suspected
Of some secret deed of shame,
And for this by all rejected
As a thing of evil fame,
Guard your every look and action—
Speak no word of heartless blame
For the slanderer's vile detraction
Yet may sell thy goodly name.
Wben you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have wandered In,
Working out his own undoing.
With his recklessness and ,in:
Think, if placed in his condition,
Would a kind word be In vain?
Or a look of cold suspicion
Win thee back to truth again?
There are spots that bear no flowers
Not because the son Is bad,
But the Summer's genial showers
Never make their bosom glad.
Better have an act that's kindly
Treated sometimes With disdain,
Than, byjudy,ing others blindly,
Doom the innocent to pain.

TEL' BIG BROTHER
No doubt you are all acquainted with
them, and what a convenience they are,
to be sure ; I mean considered in a gener
al way. Of course they have their faults,
and are at times somewhat troublesome ;
but as a rule they are decidedly an insti
tution. Still it is not necessary to have a
large number of them on hand; one or
two will usually suffice for moderate sized
country towns. 'How it would be in the
larger villages or cities I am not prepared
to say. •
' Tlie tiig hfotifei 4 ol he tattenils - tO
ty, and fills his proper place, is on hand'at :
all social gatherings, evening parties, pic
nics, rides, boating excursions and the
like of that, and makes himself generally
useful.
He usually has a sister, and sometimes
several of them; although I believe there
have been eases where the big brother has
no sister in his own family, but such in
stances are rare.
His sister usually has some lady friend,
perhaps a cousin, but quite as frequently
no relation at all, and if it so happens
that she has no particular escort, his sis
ter says : "Now Charley," (and what a
delightful name Charley is for a brother l)
"Now Charley, Ellen must go somehow,
and I guess it won't be much trouble for
you to stop for her."
Of course, Charley will not object ; such
a proceeding would be an unheard-of
event, and unpardonable offense. Perhaps
when they get there, sister's particular
gentleman friend (for she is allowed to
have one) is there, and of course takes the
responsibility of seeing that she passes her
time pleasantly, leaving her big brother
free to devote himself to the many others
who may be in need of his attentions.
When it is time to go home sister comes
to him, and, with the air of one who is
conferring a favor, asks if he would object
to a change of partners. Charley answers
by a* significant elevation of his eyebrows,
and intimates his readiness to hear what
she has to say. She then informs him
that if it suits he can take Frank's (her
gentleman friend) sister home instead of
herself. Charjey asks no questions, but
does as he is requested.
The big brother is also very useful, even
where his own sister or his own relations
are not concerned. If it so happens that
neither his sister nor her friend Ellen re
quire his services as escort, he is allowed
to choose for himself, and, as he is such a
good fellow, and a general favorite withall
he can have his choice of any of those who
do not have any particular one to depend
on. 'Perhaps the lady he chooses to wait
upon has a sister who would like to go,
and, of course, Charley would not be for
getful of his position as not to ask her to
accompany them I Ile can with perfect
safety and propriety wait upon two or even
more ladies at the same time without fear
of exciting jealousy, as he is a big brother
and merely acting to suit their conveni
ence.
It is, of course, expected—or, at least
will always turn out so—that if the lady
he accompanies happens to fall in with an
old sweetheart who, perhaps, has been ab
sent for some length of time and has just
returned, she will beg Charley to "excuse
her for a short time 1111 i il she has a little
talk to James."
Ire, of course, excuses her, well know
ing,. that she is off his hands for the re
mainder of the day or evening.
The big brother must take no offense, or
even ask an explanation of any seemingly
strange conduct on the part of the,lady he
accompanies. If he does, he won't get
He must never put on a sober look, or lip ;
pear at all absent-minded or put out
about anything that may happen.
If he should do so, he will very soon
hear some one say •Charley is actually
cross to-night?" Or "what is Charley
about?" Ile is supposed to be at every
one's service, and every one is privileged
to pet or snub just as they happen to
feel inclined. But it sometimes happens
the big brother is guilty of the very com
mon Offence of falling in love; and then
his position is a painful one in the extreme.
He must not forget the duty be owes to
society—meaning young ladies in general
go ult.
MOE
CHARITY
—and can only be allowed to devote him
self to the "idol of his heart" when there
are no others - who require his services
Althoughhe may haVe been in society fot
, a number 'of years, he has for so long 9
"time been at the disposal of every body in
general; that he hardly knows liow,to acti
indePcndently,: and quite naturally feel
riniel(einhairaisse.d, and faint-hearted, in
the prigenee Of_ 'the loved one: When he
does fuililly,iniisterconrage enough,to dej
Clare his.position, she
,is so ,very, much
astonished; she "never, dreamed of such a
.thing!" , -She "always .looked upon him as
a brother, and hopes she will always be his
friend:" , Perhaps , she will• make out to
shed a tear or two, and the poor deluded
fellow is disposed of in such'a way that he
hardly knows - whether lie has made a fool
- of himself, or whether lie is badly hurt.
He viii no doubt meet her, again in a
day - or two, when she will greet him 'with,
a bright 'coquettip_Snaile, and is so eii- 2
den* glad 49 - See , im that he. will. almost
- wonder if there is not somemistak : e in the,
answer she made him,. at their meeting.
But he has been once hit and is, therefore ,
twice shy.
But the question arises, what finally be
comes of the big brother? He must even-,
ually get beyond the age where he is re
garded as a young man,,and where young, ,
'folks' doings no longer lie attractions
for 'him! Oh! Of course he can't always
:remain young, but then he don't get old
'Us most people do; but when. some other
big brother comes .upon the stage, and
there is no longer any use for the old one,
he is allowed to retire. Then there are'
. two different courses for , him to pursue.

TEL' GOLDEN TEXT
The minister sat in his study late on
Saturday night; a weary, disheartened
man ; he had just finished a week of ar
duous duties and harrassing care, and he
had not expected to preach the next day,
and he was suffering from a severe cold ;
but his anticipated help had not come,
and himself in anything but a devotional'
frame• of mind—for ministers, after all,
if they are Ambassadors of Christ, are
human. Their physical natures are often,
weak, and their spiritual condition is not
always perfect, even with the divine help
they constantly implore.
On this night Mr. Redmond leaned his
aching head onhis study table, and almost
wished he was not a minister, that he.
might at
_least provide his family with the
comforts they so much needed—that so'
much wiiuld, not be .elcpected from him, ,
~apeksor l ittlp,givc; n : i n return., He was:not
-everhsul , e.thatAje. diad the: sympathy Aild
prayers of his people, they were so diStanti
toward him, and lie felt strongly tempted
to have no service on the next day in
church, and so excuse himself altogether.
But was that doinghis Masters's work ?
No. He could not prepare a written ser-,
mon at that late hour in his present de
pression of spirits, but he could talk to
the people affectionately from the pulpit,
as a father to his children.
He opened the Bible to select a text,
and chose the first his eyes rested on:
"Bear ye one another's burdens."
Never had he spoken so impressively as
he did on that day; never had the relation
of pastor and people seemed nearer to him,
or his sacred office of more endearing
beauty. He spokeiof the saintly fellow
ship of Christians upon the earth, and his
heart was in what he said.
. .
Ms people had only respected him 'be
fore—that day they loved him. There
were some narrow-minded men in the con
gregation. One of these sat the next day
hi his comfortable home, and talked with
his wife and children over yesterday's ser
mon.
"It seems to me that Mr. Raymond felt
badly," he said.
' "I thought so, too," said his wife.
Kitty, I have'been thinking over that
text, and have'about concluded to bear his
burdens a little."
"How can we do it ?" she asked.
`• I've got a sight more of that hickory
wood than I can use in two years, and I
will give him a couple of cords. I think
that will help him a little.
Kitty said, Yes. do," and mentally re
solved that at pork time, a snug ham and
sausage meat should find its way to the
parsonage.
Somehow the wood was accompanied
with a barrel of flour. the gift of another
member, and shortly after a real donation
visit made the minister's home a happy
one for that winter, so that he was able,
0%, of his small salary to spare the means
for a few needed books.
But that was not all that good text
did.
John Collins was a night-watchman at
the great warehouse of Baker ,k Co. lie
was poor, and his wife was sick, and do
what he world he could not make both
ends meet.
There was a trifle of money coining to
him from a first emyloyer, but it would
not be due until `three months. If he
could borrow that it would make him
straight again.. ,But where could he bor
row •it ? His companions were as poor as
he. The minister might lend it, for he
had been a. good friend to John, but lie
somehow thought Mr. Redmond needed
all the money he got. Mr. Baker, his em
ployer, was rich., and he would never need
it, but was very close. John knew that ;
however, for the sake of his little Nellie
at home, sick, and his wife a pale sufferer,
he made bold to ask, standing by the rich
man's desk; and twirling his rimless hat,
' and telling, his story plainly and emphat
, Mr. 'Baker heard him through,
and then 'looked at him from head to
foOt. "'
"I cannot WI) you," was on his
when 'like an inspiration came Sunday's
text to his mind—
"Bear ye one anothees burdens.','
And he counted the money and gave it
to the man. • .
• `i-Yon have been lionO,S and faithful in
the past, .Tohn;" was all lie said.
.2.f.rs. -Weston had never •thought to in
quire:lnto.the circumstances of the 'wo
man whollid'all her Washing, standing all
day at the weary work. But that Mon
day..morning,, when she went• into •the
kitchen and saw that bent form swaying
to mid fro over the steaming suds, she
thought other as a woman and a sister,
arid by a few questions learned her whole
history, a very common one—a widow
with four Children. Mrs. Weston gave
her sonic warm clothes for her children,
and promised to call and see her,_ and en
'couraged her by kind words.
And Mrs. Weston I esolveil*ver to be
guilty of such thonghtlessnesstagairt:
"Bear ye one another's 'burdens," yet
rang in her ears and•ioftened her heart.:
' It had been a grat wonder• to the'peO-:
ple of Mr. Redmond's church to see the
miser, Thomas Fulton, Coming up the
aisle upon the Sabbath. It was a still ,
greater surprise liten they' heard that he
had sent to the almiihouse for his daughter;
Mary and her crippled boy. Had the pas
tor's sermon touched that flinty heart?
Under God's grace it had. •
C`•ain I 'ever be: diseoutiged - again?"
thought Mr. Redmond, Nvh(in he had heard
of its influence.
• "Surely the angle of delivnence- was
near me on'that night."
There are other places in Ithich •that
text could be preached with good effect.
There are other hearts for it to.refich and
touch. It has a universal meaning, for

should be learned the Olden teams: , •

The following account of the sad conse
quence of circulating Gough's Autobiog
raphy in Chicago-is-from the Thanksgiv
ing number of the-Tribune.of that-city:
The charge of Mr. a pronfinent;
citizen of the North Division, at thillielice
court yesterday, was that he had Wanton
ly attacked an individual who was:engag
ed traveling arottnd'the city, attempting
to obtain subscribtions . to the biography
of the excellent Mr. Gough. The attack
ed person said that the accused had sud
denly came up to him, observed that lie
was the destroyer of his domestic happi
ness, and knocked him down. Now he
knew that he was a good looking person,
but he was not acquainted with the wife
of the prisoner. If he had been—
Here he smiled and winked jauntiy with
his left and uninjured eye. •
The accused did not seem to enjoy this
view of the case, and said : "Just wait till
I have-made my stateihent. your honor,
and then judge for yourself." -
"It has always been my habit when I
reached home in the evening, to eat din
ner, and then mix and drink a tumbler of
punch."
"What liquor do you use, asking pardon
for the interruption," said his honor.
"Old Crow." says Mr. C
"Quite right," says his honor. "It is
my own tipple of an afternoon, and mighty
seductive it is."
"But the other day," says Mr. C
"when I went to the cupboard, I, in the
wordt English,poet,-`lound it all
- litire; 7 t and rsaiihtonay.wifo, - hew.iii.this?
-or a more strictly, `how~ the devil is this?'
- To which her reply was that her eyes had
been opened to the sin and danger of mod
erate drinking. She had purchased that
day the biography of the excellent Mr.
Gough, and her eyes had been opened to
the horror of my 'course. Thereupon she
took the book and proceeded to read sev
eral extracts therefrom. They were very
gloomy. I attempted to reason with her,
but in vain. The more I reasoned the
faster she read, and we might have been
at it still, had I not cut the Gordian knot
by going to a saloon and taking a drink."
"That is the way to reason with the wo
men," says his honor.
I came home late, said Mr. C—, and
went to sleep. I was awakened early in
the morning by my wife, who began read
ing from the book, which I believe she had
under her pillow. She read another long
extract relating to Mr. G's visit to rum
shops, and the grief it caused his wife.
She read until I fell asleep again, and re
mained sotilLthe Morning. This state of
things Lasted for two or three:days. I
purchased anotherbottle and kept it lock
ed up." "She.kepton reading the book.
-and as she advanced, she read it to me at
dinner, at breakfast and at. bedtime.
." By day before yesterday morning .she
had reached.the one hundred and seventy
fifth page. Something there had evidently
struck her. She did not read it out, but
was evidently meditating over it.. I said
nothing, but let things take their course.
When I came home that evening, 1
went into the parlor, and saw my wife in
a state of most unbecoming drunkenness,
It was a tableau. There was a bottle and
all the materials at the table, and several
tumblers. On the sofa was Mr. Gough's
life open at the one hundred and seventy
fifth page. Paying no attention to my
wife, who was quite unable to speak and
had on a lackadaisical expression, I read
from the book, which suggested to wives
the propriety of getting drunk, in order
thattheir husbands might see how it look
ed. .1 understood then, and saw that my
wife had underrated the quality of the li
quor, and instead of getting flustered in a
lady-like way, had got decidedly upset.
" 1 left her and went about my business.
The next morning she was not at all cast
down, but asked me triumphantly how I
liked it, adding that there were many
other valuable receipts in the book.
"Thereupon I took the book away from
her and threw it In the street. On my
way down town I met the peddler, who
insinuatingly asked me. if my family was
supplied with the biography of Mr. Gough.
Thereupon I did knock him down."
. • "This court," said the justice, " de
clines taking any action against the de
fendant. But it is far different with the
complainant. Ile can only be regarded as
a pestilential emissary of the powers of
darkness. I would fine the man Gough if
I had him here, and since I have not, I
shall fine this man who sell his works $lO,
for creating discord in the f =Hies of my
friends.
The New York Herald, draws a compar
ison between "Business and 13alLs" in
that city. It says that "Business among
our merchants, importers, jobbers, shop
keepers, wholesale and retail, is slack and
dull ; but the ball season, as well,as the
theatrical season is unusually lively. The
simplest explanation of this difference be
tween business and balls is probably this
—that when the men have less time re
quired of them for business . thei have
more time to give, to pleasure. A
,few
weeks more however, and the tide will
turn."

HOW A. LAD WITZELED REMELF ENTO
• FORTUNE. •
At a meeting of the stockholders of a
prominent railway corporation, recently
held it this city, there' Weie*, present- two
gentlemen, both well up inyears,one,how
ever,considerably theseniorot the other.
In talking ofold times gone by.the younger,
gentleman, called' •,the - .-attention ;of his
friends, and told a pleasant :little, story
which should be read with profit bv*.every
poor, industrious and striving ,lad, We
•use:hisownlauguage:-. • . •
"Iv early half century ago, gentlimen;
was put upon the world to make my living.
I Was stout, willing; had able; considering
my then tender years, and secured a place
In a hardware store to do all: kinds; of
chores required. It-was to pay severity
if'e dollars per year- for my 'boyish servi-:
One day after I had been at work
three months or more, my friend there,
Mr. 8., who holds his age remarkably
well, , came into the store and boUght a
large-bill of shovels and tongs,, sad-irons
and pans, buckets, scrap'ers, and , scuttles;
for he was to be married nest day,' and
was supplying his household in, advance,
as was the groom's custom 'in thoSe days.'
The articles were packed on a barrew,and
made a load sufficiently heavy for a young
mule. But, more willing than able, I
started off, proud that. I Could move such
-a meal on the wheelbarrow. I got on re
markably well till I struck the laud, road;
now Seventh avenue, leading to my friend
• B7s . house. There I toiled and tugged:
and tugged and toiled; 'but: could not
I budge the load* the hill, the wheel-go-
ingitifull half dianieter in-the mud every :
time 'would ,try to =propel it forward.'
Finally a good-natured' Irishman passing
• by-with a dray took my barrow,' self and
all on his vehicle, and- in' considera
tion of my promise to 'pay, him a `bit'
landed me at my destination: I counted
the articles carefully as I delivered them.
and with my empty barrow trudged m\4
way back, whistling with glee over my
triumph over difficulties. Some weeks
after I paid the Irishman the "bit,'' but
never got it hack from my emplayers.
[Mr. 8., I am sure would have remune
rated me. but he never before heard the
story, so if he is inclined he can ewnprom
ise the debt by sending me a bushel of his
rare ripe peaches next fall.] But to the
moral. A merchant had witnessed my
struggles, awl how zealously I labored to
deliver that load of hardware: he even
watched me to the house and saw me
count each piece as I handed it in the
doorway. lie sent for, me next:day, asked
my name, and told me he had a reward
for my industry in the shape of a five hun
dred dollar clerkship in his extensive es
tablishment. I accepted, and nosy after
nearly half a century has passed, I look,
back and say I wheeled myself into all r
own, for that reward of perseverance was'
my grand stepping stone to fortune." '
The speaker was a verywealtlrybank.erA
a manof influence and.tiosition,l and::miet
-universally respected forinany good qualz
ities of bead. and heart. Boys, take a'
moral from this little story and be willing
and industrious. You do not know how
many eyes are upon you to discover,
whether you are sluggish and careless, or:
industrious and willing, or how many;
there are who,if you are moral and worthy,
will give you a stepping stone to wealth
and position.—Piffsburg Gazette.

in their 'pens to drink the slop, turned it
into the Miama. Forthwith the sober in
habitants of this beautiful river, that per
haps never tasted anything stronger than
its own, health-giving fluid, were seized
with a desire to go on one grand " bend
er." By the time the fluid reached Plain
ville, the whole river presented a scene of
the wildest revelry among the fish. Bass,
salmon' and white perch vied with each
other in all kinds of ridiculous gymnastics.
They appeared in shoals upon the top of
the water. s'vam to the shore and. jumpen
upon the dry land, and 'in their 'dmnked
spree greatly imitated theridieulous per
formances of a higher order of animals. A
wagon load was caught while in this tipsy
condition and sold in. the market. Au
old gentleman, who for sixty years has
