Points she ont the other duty
" Strive, my dear, to be a lady."
What's a lady? Is it something
Made of hoops, and si' is and airs,
t"sed to decorate the parlor,
like the fancy rings and chairs?
Is it one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is banian?
If 'tis tbh to be a lady.
'Tis not this to be a woman.
Mother, then, nnto your daughter
Speak of something higher far
Than to be mere tashion's lady
" Woman " the brightest star.
If you, ia your strong affection,
Urge your son to be a true man.
Urge your daughter no less strongly
To arise and be a woman.
Yes, a woman ! Brightest model
Of that high and perfect beauty,
Where tbe mind, and soul, and body
Iilend to work out life's great duty.
Be a woman, naught is higher
On the gilded crest of time ;
On the catalogue of virtue
There's no brighter, holier name.

SANDY'S DIAMOND.
"Now, Sandy, it's your tarn ; why
don't you read ? have vou lost the
place?"
Sandr straightened the tails of his
rapped coat with an air of conscious
virtue ; he was not given to losing
his place, whatever the others might
be. "Now, Judas said thi?, not be
cause he cared for the poor, but be
cause he was a thief, and had the
bag," he read out in a shrill treble.
"It was in awful pity they let him
keep the bag, then," he added by
way of comment.
"Maybe they'd no ken he was a
thief." suggested his neighbor, who
was Sandy s chief friend and ally ;
"and mavbe vou wad have helped
yotjrsera bit now and again, Sandy,
if you'd had as good a chance."
"Speak for youroel, Sam Knox,"
was Sandy's lofty tetort. "I'm no
thief, at any rate."
"Boys, attend to the lesson," in
terrupted the teacher, and the de
bate had perforce to be postponed
for the present.
Sandy marched home after school
swelling with indignant pride, utter
ly declining Sam's usual escort. The
two were friends more from force of
circumstances than natural affinity.
Both earned a scanty income m
London, carrying parcels and mes
sages from the railway to the differ-.
ent quays; but tnougn tney Held
the same profession, and were com
rades to a certain extent Sandy by
na means considered bam in the
light af an equal ; his clothes were
many degrees more ragged, ins
shoes a thing of the past, or future,
and in point of family connections j

between Sam's drunken father and

to understand that he was not to
disparage his superiors in public
with impunity.
The coolness lasted some days and
might have lasted much longer, but
for a startling adventure that befell
Sandy. Trudging round the dock
at the edge of dusk one evening,
with a huge package for a coasting
steamer, his foot 6truck against
something something that glittered
in the dim light "Justa bit of glass"
he said to himself, turning it over
with the toe of his shoe : and then
he dropped his burden with a crash
and swooped down upon his "find."
It was a ring, dull and tarnished
with mud, but neither crushed nor
broken, and the "bit of glaBs" was
the stone. It gleamed out like the
windows on the opposite shore at
sunset In his younger days, before
he became such a practical person.
he had firmly believed that Faradise
lay over there ; he knew better now,
but for a moment as -it lay- on his
palm, he almost fancied it must
have come from that region.
Only for a moment; then Sandy
was his cautious little self again.
He rolled it up carefully with the
private store of half-pence that even
Lis mother, worthy woman, did not
know of, shouldered his package and
delivered it at the tiny booking of
fice at the end of the quay, sturdily
argued out the question of an addi
tional ijenny on account of its size
with the clerk, and got it, and then
ho took hiruselt to a solitary corner
of the dock wall and sat down be

"So you're not going to give it up
to the authorities " sam asked enn
ously, when he had beard the story,
"And maybe get nothing at all,
like Jem McCulIock, answered
Sandy, shortly. "You'd not do that
vourself. Sam Knox." -
"No, I'd not," agreed Sam frankly
"but you've always prolessed such a
lot more. . -,
A dull red flush crept up to San
dy 's brow. lie had not counted up
on Sam being sharp enough to view
the case in that light
"Anyhow let ns look at it" went
on Sam magnanimously, pursuing
that point no further. "
Behind the 6Ugar cask, after infi
nite precautions, the treasure was
produced for inspection.
"How much do you think I'll get
for it ?" he asked, deferring to Sams
ludement for once. Ue was muca
older, and might reasonably be ex
pected to have some little experience
in valuables other people's if not
his own.
"I mind of hearing a man
once, that he gave 20 pounds
one not near as biz as that;
you'll not get as much, for who's go
ing to believe you didn t steal it ;
"Steal it 1" echoed Sandy in angry
dismay.
"Ay, but you've got to make folks
believe your story, and wno are you
going to get to buy it ?"
"1 thought you might ken of some
place." faltered Sandy, rather crest
fallen.
"Well, I ken of one or twa; IH
look out and tell yet the mom."
And then the conference broke up,
and the two went back to their par
cels.
Sam pondered the matter over as
he lounged about tne dec&s tnat
day, Steady work was not his
strone point and the diamond had
taken a powerful hold of his imagi
nation. He did wish with all his
heart it had been his luck instead
of Sandy's to have found it; he felt
he could have made far better use of
it "If there was any hope of his
sharing it with a fellow, it would be
dmerent, but he ll just Keep every
penny to himself. Serve him right
if he went and lost it again.
Over and over that reflection crept
up. Sandy had already strayed
from the right path for, tne sake of
the diamond, bam was the next to
fall a victim to its fascination.
He thought of it hour after hour,
till it seemed as if he-must have it
by fair means or foul, and he doubt
ed fair means would avail with a lad
like Sandy.
Saturdays were busy days on the
quays, and that next day both Sam
and Sandy were hurrying backward
and forward till long after dark. It
was a gusty, stormy, mgnt and as
Sandy went down one. of the gang
ways on his last journey the steam
er gave a sudden lurch that sent him
and his packages flying across the
deck ; worse still, out rolled the con
tents of his pockets, and before
Sandy had recovered his feet and
his scattered senses the scrap of pa
per shrouding the precious ring was
lodged inside Sam '8 waistcoat. He
happened to have been standing just
under the gangway, and lost no time
in availing himself of the unlooked
for chance.
It was all the work of a minute.
I gathered up my properties and
went back to shore without noticing
my friend. Sam, fairly glowing
with satisfaction at tbe beautiful
way things had arranged themselves
quietly retired to the deck wall to
congratulate himself at leisure. No
more heavy packages to drag up and
down those steep bridges, no more
8upperless nights and breakfastles3
mornings. Sandy had built no
taller castle around that diamond
than he was building now.
"Sam 1" broke in a pitiful voice,
"I've been looking everywhere " for
yoa. I've lost my diamond."
"You've what ?" cried Sam, with
an incredulous stare that reflected
credit on his powers of dissimulation.
"Lost it in that boat aQd she's
awav now, and I'll never get it back
It's hard."
Sandy put his head down on the
iron rail and groaned aloud in bitter
disappointment
Sam looked on in silence: he was
naturalty not a hard hearted lad,and
for a minute the impulse was strong
to give the ring back; the feel of his
empty pockets brought back more
prudential considerations-
"After all, it's only what he did
himself," he argued; "he found it
and kept it, and that's what I'm do
ing." He made one or two ineffectual
attempts to console poor, miserable
Sandy, and got himself awav as
speedily as practicable into a back
street, where dwelt a certain German,
who kept a kind of money-lending
and general exchange and Darter es
tablishment for the benefit of sailors
and emigrant-. Saturday night was
far advanced, and if he meant to
reap any immediate benefits from
his possession, it was necessary to
lose no time.
He slipped softly in and address
ed himself to the proprietor.
"I picked up something in the
dock to-day, and I wad like to ken
the worth of it gin I cared to part
with it"
"What is it?" demanded the man,
briefly.
"It's a ring a diamond one," an
swered Sam, speaking under his
breath.
"Where is it?"
Sam slowly enfolded the wrap
pers, and laid it with a sort of gagp,
in tbe man's dingy palm. How it
glittered in the gaslight 1 Sam watch
ed it with eager eyes. "A nice thing
to have gone and given that away
again, he said to himself.
The German looked at the treas
ure nnder the gas jet for a moment
and touched it with his tongue ;
then he threw it down on the coun
ter with a short laugh.
Diamonds, indeed I a bit of
glass!"
It's not I" ejaculated Sam with
dry lips. "You're cheating !"
The man knocked it smartly
against the iron scales. Alas ! tbe
unfortunate diamond vanished away
into dusty powder.
"But tbe ring that's gold !" cried
Sam in despair. It was the one last
forlorn hope.
"Take it away ; no one would give
you a sixpence for it"
Sam picked it up without a word,
V hen he got outside he flung it
into the nearest gutter. Was it for
this he had cheated Sandy, and
made himself afraid to meet him
for this? Why couldnt he have
left him to find out the miserable
cheat for himself? It was the very
first time he had ever played a friend
a shabby trick, and in wrath and
bitterness of spirit Sam registered a
solemn resolution that it should be
the last
The sight of Sandy's woe-begone
countenance when they met at the

An Old For Dealer s Work:.
Nearly a century ago a queer,
stooped, weazen little man, shabbi
1 dressed and carying a green baize
bag, full of papers, in his hand, was
one of the most famihar figures in
the streets of Phildelphia. The
wealthy merchants begun to point
him out as a poor youn French
man, who had scraped a good deal
of money together dealing in furs.
He married a pretty young wo
man of whom he was very fond, and
if he had had a happy home, full of
healthy boys and girls, we probably
never should have heard of him.
But his young wife soon became vio
lently insane. He placed her in an
asylum, and after that his home was
limited to one bare room, scantily
furnisned with an iron cot, desk and
single chair.
When the yellow fever broke out
in the city, he went to the hospital
where his wife lay ill with it, stayed
with her until she died, and then,
leaving all his wide commercial in
terests, remained in the hospital to
nurse the victims of the plague.
This man's name was Stephen Gir
ard. He was hard, grasping and
cynical, but his heart held a tender
warmth for the children who had
never come to him, and he left his
great fortune to found- a home for
orphan boys. He carried out his pe
culiar ideas in his plans for it
Nothing in the buildings or in the
teachings was to be a make-shift or
sham. The very roof of the house
must be of solid marble. The boys
were to be taught no sectarian creed
only to believe in God, and to lead
upright lives. He did not aim to
fit them to be educated gentlemen,
but educated workingmen.
Oirard college is a noble building
of pure Greek architecture, which
stands, with a village of its surround
ing dormitories and halls, in the
suburbs of Philadelphia. About
five hundred orphan boys are fed,
clothed and trained in it. With the
last year an industrial school has
been opened in it, in which the pu
pils are taught mechanical arts.
In nearly all the large Capitals in
the world there have sprung up
during the last half-dozen years
agencies which furnish newspaper
clippings at a specified price. The
agency subscribes for a very large
number of newspapers, and often
in several languages, and provides
to literary men, artists, actors, and
politicians all reference made in the
papers to tnem. bubsenbers also

desire information, and in this way

The late Thurlow Weed, who was

so many newspapers, once told me
an interesting incident of his life
which has been inadvertently omit
ted from his memoirs. It was dur

livin in Cooperstown, N. Y., the
home of the yet unfledged novelist
land was setting type as a journey
man printer. "I was 19 years old,
and I fell in love with Catharine
Obtmnlermy landlady's, daughter,
two years younger than I was. Her
folks objected, very properly, to her
marrying a strolling printer, with
out money or anything else, and I
agreed to wait
About this time I got into a bad
scrape. I, with three other young
fellows, who were rather a hard lot
was arrested on complaint of four
girls whom we met at a prayer-meeting.
I had never seen them before,
but we walked home with them, and
they made a charge of improper con
duct against us alL The others got
bail, but I had no rich relative, and
prepared to go to jaiL At the ex
amination I told the justice I had no
lawyer and no money to pay one,
when, to my great surprise, a lead

had never spoke to and did not know
stepped forward and gave bail for
me and offered to defend me. It was
Ambrose L. Jordan. I was delight
ed. I did not go to jail, and at the
trial the girls voluntarily declared
that I was not a party to the offen
sive transaction. I left town for a
while, but came back in a year or
two and Catharine Ostrander accept

"Some fifteen years after that,
when I was in Albany in a position
of some influence, we were making
up the Whig State ticket in conven

been placed in nomination, when
somebody said, 'Now for attorney

State."
"I named Ambrose L. Jordan and
he was made our candidate and elec

said to me : 'I have some conscien

office. You gave it to me because I
defended you in Cooperstown when
you wanted a friend.'

would come to the rescue of an un
