The recent revelations .
coneerning
deed foraeries at a criminal trial in
Chicago, , reminded me of an incident
that occurred a few weeks ago in the
vicinity otSt. Louis, that seems to
me to he Worth relating,
Clara.. and Mary Nterwin, sisters
and orpliao. were inithe sittinzToom
th
of their phiitsant hoe oh the `edgeof
a village near the Missouri, - Their
mother bad ; been dead Aeverni rears :
their father; had lately died, leavin! ,
them.an estate. as they ;•lipposed. of
the value Ql' ;iome forty thousand
dollars. but they had-learned quite
recently that it was encumbered to
such an extent that they were likely
to be deprived of:it all: This dis
covery. :tA May be supposed. filled
them with anxiety and sorrow, and
they were heated in silence. unable'
to read. to converse. to work, to 'do
anything 'brood;.over their areat
misfortnue.!
While they were thus occupied .
with sombrr. thoWilits. a buggy drove
up in front of thc house-. and a man
alighted. and the buggy drOve away.
The man!mast haVe been a little
on the shady side or filly: to judge
frthll his fzniyliairs.althott ! th his thee
was fresh and unwrinkled. He was
dre4cd with remarkable neatness:,
and his thee. indicated briskness. a s
welt as prMsion. In one hand he
cttOied a sufall valise. and in the oth
er au mnbrella..and lie stepped quick,:
ly to the dhO:i . ran! ,- the bell.- tit
a IrwThitnnents he was wltered into
the tresence't if the youw ,
"I'm to introduce myself."
he said. smiling and bowing in a
courtly manner —" Abner Pierce.
Here is my 'card—professional card.
You will see that I am a lawyer in
St. Louis. and-presumably. a respec
table man. Don't be afraid. 1 am
not here to hhrt you. but to int)
I have-the honor to call myself'
friend of yflur ramily'—that is to say,
although it is many years since I
have seen tiny Member of said family,
I always had the highest possible re
gard for yottr sainted mother, and
nothing would please the better than
to Ite of some service to her children."

murmured Clara.
" Thank yOu. I happent;t Ito hear
—no matter how—that yon were in

the belief that I icon assist you.

me.. I ant aettiallY an 11(1111.'4 Mall,

'Clara Mervin. who was the elder
the orphans and leader in even - -
thin". t 01.4 how she and her sister
had taken 4cltet s 'of administrltion
•
ti pop their father's' ! estate. when - tt
man of whom they had never benne
heard put in an appearance. and pre
sented a mortgage, with bond includ
ed. executed by the late Mr. Melvin:,
upon his real estate, for the stun of
forty thousand dollars. Not cOntent
with prohibiting them front :attempt
ing to sell anything, lw had tied up
their money in the Itank, leaving them
absolutely penniless. They had used
their credit. brit tradesmen were be
coming impatient. and some had re
fused - supply them any further
without pat - .
" That is a bad case," said •••Mr.-
Pierce. ....You need money--sthat is
the first thing Otte attended ti:. You
must_let me act as your banker until
I get you out of "this scrape. and that
won't be long, I hope. How much
do you owe?"
" More than :one hundred dollars,"
answered Clara. •
The old gentleman counted out
two hundred dollars from a wellstilled.
pocket-book, and handed it to her.
" For your mother's sake," he said,
when she refused to receive it, and
he forced it uphill her in.such a way
ft - 4 she could not help taking it., Ile
theh accepted the young ladies' invi
tation to make their house his home
during his stay, and went in to dinner
With them.
" Is, there any place where I Can
stroke ?" he asked, when they bad
returned to the sitting-room.
" You can smoke here," said the.
impulsive Mary'::: Paldways smoked
here. and we are used to it."
So he took a meerschaum and some.
tobacco from his valise, and was soon
pulling away with .an air of great
contentment.' .
" I can think better when I smoke,"
he said. "Did :you have any legal
advice in the matter of that mort
gage. MisS Mer Win ?"
Yes, sir," replied Clara. " Our
liwyer said that it was a plain case
against us, although it was strange
that we had never heard of the-mort
gage before." ,
" Very strange, What is the name
of the man who holds it ?".

"Very liberal. Introduce me' to

Mr. Alexander Campbell called in
the course of the afternoon, and was
made acquainted with Abner Nettie,
at whom he looked suspiciously; but
his eyes fell. when he met..the Old
gentleman's intent gaze. Mr. Pierce
glanced but slightly at the deed that
.was offered fox the considerntion'of
the Indies, being ,occupied in study

Mr. Campbell assented to this and.

pipe with nervous haste, and Mary
brought him 'a light.

in your face." ; -[

• The girls' countenance fell at this
sudden surrender on the part of their

lawyer, picking up the mortgage
again, "'of an occurrence that fell un

BELIEF IN YOUNSELF
It is said that when John C. Cal

ridiculed by his fellOw-stndents for
his , intense application. to Study.
"Why, sirs," !said he,: - "I am forced
to make'the most of imy*time that I
may acquit myself creditably When
in Congress. Po yOn doubt it?..' I
assure you if r were notsoiivineed
of my ability to reach the national
capitol as a . repreSentative \ within
tlnk.e. years. I. would leave college
thi4 very day !" - Let every :voting
man thus have faith in himself, and
earnestly•take hold f life, scorning
all props and buttres-cs, all
. crutches
and life-preservers. Let hint-believe,
with PeStalozzi, that noinan on God's
earth is either willing or able to help
any other man. . Let hini strive to be
a ureator, rather than[ to borrow. In-
Wad of wielding the' rusted sword
of,'valorons forefathers, let him forge
his own weapons, and conscious of
the God-in him and the providence
over him, let him fight his own pat
ties with his own lance. Instead of
sighing for an education, capital, or
friends, and declaring) that " if he on
ly had these he would[be somebody,"
let him remember that, as 'Horace
Greeley . said.. he is looking in the
wrong end of the telescope ; that. if
he only were somebOdy he would
speedily have ail the boons whese .
absence he is bewailing. Instead of
being one of the foiled potentialities
of which the world is so full—one of
the subjunctive heroes, who always
might; could, would;-9r shdiild do
such great things.' is what nobody
can understand—let him be in- the
imperative mood, and do that of
which his talents arc indicative.

cates the t the "danger exists. It is great-
eSt pelitaps in the beginnings of the
1..
Christial life. •In entering upon this life,
people
~ rely say,
~that they have begun
and are trying to lire a Christian life, but,
speak of themselves and o f their brethren=
as . having "profe.ow4 religion." The,
stress is put upt in profession as the chief
thing in the new life. Instead of proceed
ing steadily and efficiently with a better
conduct, 'they, proceed to much talking
almmt their beliefs and feelings, litiPes and
opinions, and % - ery likely make severe
strictures on other people Who hold to
somewhat' different opinions. Does the
.mother;inake any profession of hiving her.
Child ? ' She just loves and serves it, and
is silent Idoint it-. Does the chili] Make
any profe'ssion of faith on of happiness?
NO. It just confidesand iiitappy. Its
ten thous:and activities set forth itstrust
and happiness, as words, thongh most e-x
-act and, piing isophic, could not. The. lily
and the rose are silent, but they incarnate
their earnest little lives in forms that are
beautiful and odors 'that arc fragrant.
These :111,! in goltkin silentx, get things
done, anti the things done incarnate and
evidence the life. And all teal and divine
outgoing 'of the ,Chri.stiau life is not ;in
word onlY, lout also, and much more; in
deed. !his the Spirit taken of the things
of tail. and given them to us? Then, ac
cording to Our measure,. we shall repro=
(luta: the! loving and active life of our
Lord on earth, and get good and .helPful
,thing done for our fellow men, such as
they mos need_, to' have done. In the es
