THAT FL1RTIG NELL! EL
BY IXORA TOVr.VSEND.
" Ko you have invited that odious little
Xellie Janis ! spend tl; rst of the
Rummer with you !" exclalniml Pripeilla
lielton, as she was saying her good-bye
after a long morning all. " I was bo sur
prised w hen I heard it !
" Why?1' queried Alice Kdney, trying
to speak coolly, thongh she was hot with
indignation. "Have you heard any
thing to the discredit of our old school
fellow r
" Oh, my dear Alice ! Why pretend ig
norance? Don't every one know that&he
flirts fl.trociou.sly with every member of
the male sex ho happens to come her
way T
" Very impartial of her, I am sure, to
distribute her pleasant looks and emiles
to all alike," fiuilel Alice, " If you had
accused her of angling for two or three
lovers, and favoring each in his turn, I
uiigiit agree w ith you, and call Nellie a
coquette ; as it is, 1 believe that the likes
to le liked, and so do I."
"Ah, but you are qdite a different
character. You have ;leen, as mamma
often says, so carefully briUjht np
while we all know that the Jarvaies
are "
The sentence was finished w ith a sht rj
and a sneer ; but Alice K lney refused to
see either.
" I have never heard any harm of Nel
lie's relations except that they have leen
unfortunate, and neither youjnor I can
ever forget that, w hen we were ill with
low fever at school, it was Nellie's moth
er w ho used to come and sec us daily,
bringing Jug fruit and flowers, and the
most delicious kinds of jellies and cus
tards." " Well," said Miss Helton, preparing to
depart, "all I have to say is, that if I
wire engaged, as you are, to a light
hearted, handsome young fellow, w ho is
not insensible to admiration, I should
think tw ice before 1 exposed him to the
w iles of an accomplished t'irt like Nellie
Jarvas."
Alice bit her lip to keep back on angry
reply. It was no use entering on the de-fi-iise
of her friend, or devlaring that
nothing should induce her to doubt the
constancy of her lover, so she w ist ly kept
silence.
I'riscilla Helton was one of those per
sons who always contrive to say some
thing that wounds the tusi eptibiliti s of
.boss they pretend to esteem ; and Mrs.
Edney, Vistling into the room to bring
her keys, was not very much surprised to
fin.l her daughter in tears.
" What a goose you are!" she cried,
kissing her and giving her a little shake.
" What a goose to make yourself unhap
py over that girl's silly speeches ! What
has she been saving? You know fhe
only talks for thelaake of hearing herself
talk."
" I am not unhappy," responded Alice,
"but angry with myself Jot" having al
lowed Prisrilla to see that I was vexed.
She will go away, telling the next person
she visits that I have admitted that I am
doing a fiiolish thing in having Nellie
here, and that I am awfully jealous al
ready."
"Pooh! What signifies? Come and
help me tie dow n my preserves and don't
trouble your heat! about what the go
sips chatter. Or, if you really do doubt
the prudence of having Miss Nellie Jar
vas here, forbid Merrie (iranard to come
to the house until she has gone away
again."
Seeing that her mother w as laughing
at her, Alice laughed too, and would not
confess even to herself that for a brief
perisl a dread had really seized npon
her that l'riscilla Helton's predictions
might lie verified. If Merric, dear Mer
rie liarnard, w hose w ife she was to he as
Kin as her parents could tie induced to
think her old enough, should be lured
from his nlh giunce by the w iles of pret
ty, attractive Nellie Jervas how would
she lear the utter misery of losing
him?
Kut for that hateful 1'riscilla, no such
thoughts would have troubled her peace,
and they vanished altogether when.Nellie
jumjied out of the railway carriage into
her arms.
She was such a bright little creature.
Not all her home troubh s ami they
were many could ever cast more than
the briefest shallow on her pretty face.
It was some one's duty, she would aver,
to look at the sunny side of the sky, aud
it was a pleasant duty, she would make
it her's. So Nellie's silvery laughter
rang out at every opportunity, and she
carried them with her wherever she
went.
" Don't make too much of me," she
cried, struggling from Alice's embrace.
" My visit is not to you, but to your
mother. I shall never be in her way, I
know, while you oh, yon recreant! you
false -to -friendship individual, to give
yourself away to a he-male! you would
find me in the way whenever he drew
mar. What is he like, Alice?"
"Who, Merric?. You shall see for
yourself presently," replied the blushing
bride-elect.
" Much obliged at least I ought to le;
one must make some sacrifices to gratify
one's friends, but do not ask me to ad
mire the young man. Of all the indi
viduals I detest, first on the list stands
other girls' lovers."
And so Nellie tattled on or talked gay
ly to the tw o little lads, w ho had escorted
their sister to the station, extoring
bursts of laughter from them till they
reached Mr. Kdney house; and Mrs.
Fvlney came into the hall to give the
guest a motherly welcome, and warn
Alice that the nteat tea would be on the
table in twenty minutes.
Soon af!er;themeal had been dispatched
Merric Granard arrived, a little curious
to see the school friend of whom his
betrothed talked so enthusiastically.
It was with a touch of latent uneasi
ness that Alice seized the first opjiortu
nity of w hispering to him :
"Well, diil lexag-jerate when I said
that Nellie is exceedingly pretty 7"
"Am I to answer politely, or frankly?
The latter? Then, my dearest Alice, I
do think you exaggerated very much.
Miss Jervas hasn't a regular feature to
oa-stof; she looks thin, und certainly
has no pretensions to be called a beauty.'
"She is thin, but her smile is just as
sweet."
" A nd she talks. Oh ! ye gods, how she
does keep talking ! Cannot we make our
escape and get out of sound of it for a lit
tle while? Say yes; your mother will
amuse the young lady if she isn't capable
SCXMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY,
of taking care of herself, for half aa
hour."
' What do I think of Mnj Granard?"
echoed Nellie, when theijnestion was put
to her, as she and Alice were brushing
out their tresses that night. " It is scarce
ly a fair question, my dear ; I do not view
him with your bedazzled eyes."
" He is one of the lest of men," ex
claimed Alice. "Every one who knows
him congratulates me on my engage
ment." " Then so will I," cried Nellie, hearti
'y. " But he might have spared you to
me a little longer. jven you, who are
seven fathoms deep in love, must own
that it is very disappointing to me to
lose the only girl fr end I ever had. I am
not magnanimous. I doa't like having to
ive you up to a male rival, who looks at
me with disapproving eyes already. lie
doesn't want me here. He regards you
as his pecaiiar property, and your guest
as an in'.e.loper."
" But I should like you and Merric to
bigood friends," said Alice. " for my
aakp, you know."
" Give us time, and we may learn to be
civil to each other," was the laughing re
ply. " But you must not expect more.
We are rivals in yoJr affL-ction, you-see.
He is distrustful, aud I am jealous
frightfully, disgracefully jealous. Why
didn't he leavj you alone, ami fall in love
with another girl? J'ris Helton, for in
stance. By the way, how is old Pris?
D e-,s!ie still find out all the specks and
blemishes in her friends, just as she was
wont? Won't 1 say or do something to
astonish her?"
A pj arently Nellie Jarvas kept her word
for siie had not been many days at Mr.
Edney 's when Miss Helton told half a
doz.'n of her intimates in strictest confi
dence that this wicked little siren was
angling for the new curate, as well as the
son of Dobbs, the banker.
Aud we are afraid that Nellie did flirt
with both these gentlemen, and that it
was also her smiles and flattering speech
es that brought the bachelor dtK-tor and
'Squire Edington to the house evening
after evening.
"She was so jolly," the Edney boys as
servated : "so ready to sing, dance, play
or institute draw ing-room games; while
Alice was no use for anything now, ex
cept mopirg in a comer with Merric
Granard."
Mrs. Edney hxiked rather grave some
times when Mistress Nellis gathered her
admirers about her chair und played
them off one against the other, but even
she was not able to resist the coaxing
ooksand carekscs with w hich her gentle
reproofs were heard.
"IN'ow, don't Yothiccuse me of flirting,
please," Nellie would say. " I assure you
I mean no harm. It's most awfully
nice to be liked, and 1 enjoy it, that's
all."
"At the expense of your victims, my
dear?"
"Which be they ?" questioned the dam
sel, demurely. " Nou your curate, for he
is engaged ; nor young Dobbs, for he
loves himself better than all women, nor
the doctor, for he is too shrewd ; and Mr.
Edlington too sensible to woo a girl w ho
hasn't a penny. Trust me, dear Mrs. Ed
ney, these good souls may lie scorched
by the lightning of my glances, but
they'll not catch fire ; they are safe
enough."
Ami Merric Granard ? was he safe,
too? Was it by mere chance that he and
Nellie had found themselves watching
the moon rise from the same window, or
sharing the same umbrella w hen caught
in a shower?
" Poor, unsuspecting Alice !" sighed
I'risci'la Helton ; and she made a j-oint
of calling frequently, and inquiring for
Alice's health in the most sympathetic
accents.
"You are quite well ? You are sure?"'
she would murmur. " How thankful I
am to hear it. But then you always are
good and ptt'.ent."
" What do I mean ?" she would re
peat. "Oh, my friends, is it jiossible ?
But don't question me, please don't. I
would not lie the first to draw your at
tention to nnything that would grieve
you."
Alice laughed loudly, and teased Miss
Helton till she had the satisfaction of see
ing her bite her thin lips and redden
with annoyance. To be so jibed at as
the village newsmonger, and to be sauci
ly reminded of sundry bits of mischief
she had wrought, was too galling ; ami
she remembered an engagement and beat
a retreat, followed to the gate by the girl's
mocking laughter.
But when her tail, spare form, and
nodding feathers had passed from sight.
Alice threw herself on a couch and bur
ied her face in its cushions. Alas ! it was
too true ; Merric was fast falling into the
nets of the siren, and she was most mis
erable. Twice she had come upon him and
Nellie whisjiering together. They had
stark d asunder at sight of her, too con
fused to tftr the (xjlirUkn she
was too proud to ask. And only last
evening, in the twilight, as she returned
from some charitable visits in the village
she had found her friend and her lover
in Uie avenue, not hastening to meet her,
but in a less frequented path, so deep in
conversation that they did not detect
her approach.
Nellie was in the act of giving her com
panion a long lock of sunny hair, to
which he pressed his lips before he hid
it away in his poeketbook. Did the ears
of the looker on Tdeccive her, or did she
hear these words murmured :
" Hcnieiuber, Alice must not know this
until "
Then came the reply :
" You may trust me. I will be secret
and prudent until secrecy is no longe
necessary."
And then they separated, and Alice
rushed into the house to hide her wretch
edness in her own chamber.
She could in truth plead a violent
headache w hen her mother came to look
for her ; she had sobbed and cried till
the pulses in her temples were beating
madly, and slie was burning up with a
fever.
Mrs. Edney decided that her daughter
must have caught some infections com
plaint in the cottages w here she had been
visiting ; and though the doctor, who
was instantly summoned, pooh-pooed
this, he pronounced his patient to be in
stx-h a high state of nervous excitement
that she most be kept in bed, and very
for the next two or three days only
Mrs. Edney came, near tier; and by the
ESTABLISHED 1827.
ime Alice was pronounced well enough
to sit op for a few hours, shs had school
ed herself into the patient endurance of
her wrongs. ;
She had not acquired fortitude enough
to read the notes from Merric that were
brought to her daily, but slipped them
under her piilow, and took the first op
portunity of iburning them unopened;
neither could she help shuddering and
closing her eyes to shut ouf the sight cf
Nellie Jarvrs' pretty face when first it
bent over her, beaming with the most af
fectionate solicitude.
But she resolutely conquered this feel
ing. Was it fair to blame eliie for be
ing inesistibly bewitching ? Her own at
tractions were so few, that how could
Merric help loving this charming little
creature far better than he had 'once fan
cied he loved her?
Once admitted into the sick room, it
would beve been difficult to exclude Nel
lie again. She made herself too useful
to Mrs. Edney, who suspecting nothing
amiss, gladly gave over the task of amus
ing ami waiting on Alice to her willing
visitor. And Nellie was indefatigable in
her etforts till the evening, when she
seated herself oa a stool beside the inva
lid's easy chair and sank into a long rev
erie.
" IV vou fit'l able to listen to a confes
sion, dear?" she said, presently, when
the blaze of the tiro had sunk into a
ruddy glow, and the room was almost in
darkness. " May I tell you what has
hapiened, and will you promise not to
blame me too much is "
But Alice could not bear this yet.
"Not now," she gasped; "give m
time to get stronger, and then "
" You are tired," said Nellie, tenderly,
" I have let you sit up too long. Let me
help you back to bed. You must try and
sleep soundly, for we want to have you
down stairs to-morrow. It is your moth
er's birthday, remember, and the home
circle will not be complete w ithout Alice
to grace it."
" Yes," Alice mentally said : "I will
be brave, and tajie my old place w ithout
further delay. My dearest mother shall
never know w hat I have suffered in los
ing Men-it's ull'ections. For her dear
sake I will overcome my regrets, and
appear happy, if I do not feel so."
And Alice kept her word. She came
to the breakfast-table on the morrow,
paler anil more hollow-eyed than her
parents liked to see her ; but with a
smile on her lips even for Merric Gran
ard, w ho hat! ridden over to bring fruit
and flowers from his father's hot-house
in honor of this anniversary.
In spite of her efforts to avoid him, he
drew her aside as soon as the meal was
over.
"My dearest, how you tremble T lie
cried. " lias the effort to come among us

" No," she replied, as firmly as Iter fal
tering'voice permitted, " you have some
thing to tell me. Let me hear it at once."
"Ah, yes! Yon mean with regard to
this," and ojiening a case he drew from
his pocket, he displayed a very neat
bracelet made of hair set in silver, with
exquisitely-wrought clasps of the same
precious metal.
"Did you miss one of your bonny
chestnut lotfti?" he asked. " Nellie
stole it for me, that we might have it
made into this bracelet for your mother.
We knew we could not give her a birth
day gift that would please her more than
this. By-the-hy, Miss Nellie has made a
conquest, hasn't she? But here she
comes, anxious, I can see, to receive your
congratulations. She isn't a bad sort of
girl when one comes to know her. I'll
give her half an hour, and then you
must let me take you for a drive."
"Darling Alice," whispered Nellie,
gliding into his place beside her starjled,
bewildered friend, "don't ssy I shall do
wrong in accepting Mr. Ellington; I
know I am not half good enongh for
such an excellent man, and I could hard
ly W-lieve him when he said he wanted
me to be his wife."
" Mr. Edington, of the Grange? He is
nearly twenty years your senior !"
"And twice twenty my superior in
mental gifts and goodness of heart I
knew l'ris Helton and every one who
thinks with her would say I was mercen
ary, and only wedded him for h's mon
ey. But oh, Alice, he is so good, so gen
erous, he has won my heart entirely.
If 1 were not so poor, so utterly unwor
thy such noble affection as he prof
fers "
Here Nellie broke dow n, and laid her
head on her friend's shoulder.
" II nd so this was your secret, and the
bracelet was Merries. How foolish I
have been, ejaculated Alice.
" You are never fixilish'" averred Nel
lie, " and I mean to be guided entirely
by your advice."
Whether she was or not, it is certain
that, to the horror and astonishment of
Friscilla Helton, 'Squire Edington led to
the altar " that flirting Nellie," who has
proved a pattern wife, and numbers
among her most faithful friends, Merric
Granard and his fair wife, Alice.

moves the faint feelin, creates a good

" n amusing marriage took place in
Elberton, Ga., the other day. A couple
came into the Court House to be married.
A new justice was called iu. He had no
form, and improvised a ceiemony. He
first ordered the the couple to join hands
ami then after hesitating a while, he ask
ed the groom these questions: "Will
yon stick to this woman through thick
and thin, up and down, right and left,
hot or cold, wet or dry, and have no oth
er wife but her? If you will, you can
have her for a wife."' Similar questions
having been propounded to the woman,
and affirmative answers having been
given, he pronounced them husband and
wife.

Tha Figures on Your Watch
Face. Toleda Elude : " Mark down the figures
on toe face of a watch," said a Summit
street jeweler.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, C, began the reporter, as
he put jiencil to paper.
" No, I mean the Roman numerals."
Then this was produced :
I, II, III, IV, Y, VL, VII, VIII, IX,
X, XI, XII.
" You are wrong," said the jeweler.
" I giii8 not," said the reporter.
"Try again," said the jeweler.
" Perhaps I don't know iiow to count
in Roman figures," said the reporter.
" You know that well enough, but the
watchmakers use different ones. Look
at your watch."
" Haven't got one,"
"Well, look at mine. See the figure
which stands for 4 o'clock."'
The reporter looked ami was surprised.
It was IIII, and not IV.
"Are all clocks and watches that
way ? " he asked. .
" Fery one which has Roman figures
on its dial."
"Why?"
" Well, I'll tell yon the story. It is
nothing but a tradition among watch
makers, hut the custom has always been
preserved. Yon may or you mny not
know that the first clock that in any way
resembled those now in use was by Hen
ry Vick, in 1370. He made it for Charles
V. of France, w ho lias been called The
Wise.'
" Now, Charles was wise in a good
many ways. He was wise"enough to recov
er from Englan 1 most of the land which
Edward III. had conquered, and he did
a good many other things w hich benefit
ed France, but his early education had
been somewhat neglected, and he prob
ably would have hail trouble in passing
a civil service examination in these en
lightened ages. Still he had a reputation
for w isdom, and thought it was necessary,
in order to keep it up, that he should
also be supposed to possess book learning.
The laiter was a subject hu was extreme
ly touchy about.
" So the story nins in this fashion, al
though I will not vouch for the language,
but put it in that of the present day :
" 'Yes, the clock works well,' said
Charles, 'but,' being anxious to find some
fault w ith a thing he did not understand
'you have got the figures on the dial
wrong.'"
"'Wherein, your majebty?' asked
Vick.
" 'That four should be four ones,' said
the King.
"'Yon are wrong, your majesty,' said
Vick.
"'I am never wrong,' thundered the
King. Take it away and correct the mis
take. And corrected it was, and from that
day to this 4 o'clock on a watch or clock
dial has lieen IIII, instead of IV. The
tradition-has luferr THitnfnTTr followed."

The president of the Swamptown bank
was sitting in his library at home the
other evening when a servant announced
that his cashier was in the parlor and de
sired to see him. The president started,
turned a little pale, and muttered: "It
has come at last ! A confession, undoubt
edly. Whv did I not have that man
watched? Wonder he did not skip to
Canada at once." Then he descended to
the parlor, where the following conver
sation took place :
Cashier (advancing hesitating ami
speaking in an embarrassed way) "I
hope you will forgive me, Mr. Goldbagi,
but "
President Goldbags (sternly) "For
give you, sir! there is and should be
no forgiveness for an offense like yours.
Too much leniency is the reason why
these crimes are augmenting in num
ber."
"Crime, sir?"
" Yes, crimes, I call things by their
right names."
" But you will pardon me "
"Pardon you? No, indeed, I won't.
Besides that, only the governor of the
State has the pardoning power."
" I must confess, sir "
" Well, go on and confess then. That
is alioul all there is left to do, I suppose
(bitterly); bat I have suspected this for
some time, and I have been a fool not to
have investigated you thoroughly."
" Is it, then so great an offence? Are
not most young men impelled that way?
Did you not yourself "
" Silence, sir! How dare you insinuate,
miserable man, that ever I was guilty of
betraying the confidence "
" Betray confidence ! I love her and
she loves me. I wish to marry her, and
" Love her? Marry her? Who are you
talking about? "
" Why, your daughter, of course. You
saitl you had long suspected it and I
thought you knew, but it is no crime, sir,
indeed it is not."
" Then you are not a defaulter ? "
"No!"
"And you do not contemplate skip
ping to Canada with the funds of the
bank?"
"Never thought of such a thing."
" No confession to make, eh ? "
Only a confession of love, Mr. Gold-
bags, that's all. I ask the hand of your
daughter."1
" Well, she is yours. You take a great
load off my mind."
" In taking your daughter? "
" No, hang it, in removing my suspi
cions. Uut 1 say, son-in-law, uon t take
in Canada on your wedding trip. The
very name makes me shudder."
The young man promised and they
parted with lightened hearts. 2Vj-iif

Blood Poison
Is very liable to follow contact of the
hands or face with what is known as poi
son ivy, especially in hot weather or if the
body is jserspiring freely. The trouble
may subside for a time, only to appear in
aggravated form whenopportunity offers.
The great purifying powers of Hood's
Sarsaparilla thoroughly eradicate every
trace of poison from the blood, as the cures
it has? accomplished conclusively show
It also cures scrofula, salt rheum and other
affections arising from impure or poison
ed blood.

Advice to a Young Man.
Oh, my son! be patient; bo patient.
We caa get along without brilliant wo

single perches for themselves way up out
of the reach of the rest of us, so we don't

world very much food after all It's just
as we!! that they do keep away from us,
I suppose. When they come down and
mix with us we are apt to find them out.
Then, goodbye greatness. We don't
need rushing people so very much. Here
and there one or two of them are good
things; we can't get along without a
rush line, of course; but after all, a fall

of the field at once without making any

man who find strength in "quietness and

Jttte. Lincoln as a Lover.
Abraham Lincoln's offer of marriage
was a very curious one, and singularly
enough, it has but recently come to light.
Numerous as his biographers have been
and closely as they hare gleaned for new
facts and materials, it was left for the
latest one, Mr. Jesse Welk, of Greencas
tle, to discover this unique and charac
teristic production of Mr. Lincoln's al
most untutored mind. The letter is one
of several written, presumably, to the
lady he afterward married. Addressed
to " My dear Mary," it reads as follows :
-- You tirost know that I cir.not see you
or think of you with entire indifference;
and yet it may be that you are mistaken
in regard to w hat my real feelings toward
you are. If I knew that jou were not I
should not trouble you with this letter.
Perhaps any other man would know
enough without further information ;
but I consider it my peculiar right to
plead ignorance and vour bounden duty
to alio the plea. I wan't in all cases to
do right, ami most particularly so in all
cases with women. I want at this par
ticular time more than anything else to
do right with you, and if I knew it would
be doing right, as I rather suspect it
would, to let you ulone, I would do it.
And for the purpose of making the mat
ter as plain as possible I no say you can
drop the subject, dismiss your thoughts
if you ever had any from me forever
and leave this letter unanswered without
calling forth one accusing murmur from
me. And I will even go further and say
that if it will add anything to your com
fort and peace of mind to do so, it is my
sincere wish that you should. Do not
understand by this that I wish to cut
your acquaintance. I mean no such thing
What 1 do wish is that our further ac
quaintance shall depend upon yourself.
If such further acquaintance would con
tribute nothing to your happiness, I am
sure it would not to mine. If you feel
yourself in any degree bound to me, I am
now willing to release you, provided you
wish it ; while, on the other hand, I am
willing and even anxious to bind you
faster, if I can be convinced that it wiil
in any degree add to your happiness.
This, indeed, is the whole question with
me. Nothing would make me more mis
erable than to beleive you miserable ;
nothing more happy than to know you
wire so. In what 1 have now said lean
not be misunderstood ; and to make my
scll understood is the only objtct of this
letter. If it suits you best not to answer
this, farewell. A long life and a merry
one attend you. But if you conclude to
write back, speak as plainly as 1 do.
There can be neither huYm nor danger in
saying to me anything you you think,
justju the manner you think it.
Your friend
Lincoln.

Time to Reform the Calendar.
An ingenious Yankee, with an eye to
adjusting himself to his environment,
hiu moved a reorganization of the cal
endar. Winter, he contends, should be
gin on Jan. 1 and include March ; spring
should commence with April and include
June, July, August ami September should
constitute summer, and the fall begin
ning w ith October, should not end till
after Christmas. His new calendar
would play the mischief with traditions,
but it would come nearer to actual ex
perience than does the present antiqua
ted European article. The procession of
the equinoxes is too slow altogether for
the American climate. Facts are on the
Bide of reform, and if the weather does
not speedily repent aud bringforth fruits
more meet for repentance than rank
grass and dropsical potatoes, the new ly
established department of agriculture
will be called on to revise the calendar.

But Twaive Hours Long.
The great In Ji in Rajah Monija, it is
said, had but one son, to whose educa
tion he gave much time and thought, in
order that the boy might belltted for his
high place. Among his devices fir the
wise training of his son was the p acing
near him an old man whose only duty
was to say to the prince, w henever he
was enjoying any pleasure keenly, "The
day hath but twelve hours."
When the lad, on the other hant!, was
sick or in trouble, he changed the warn
ing to, "The night is but twelve hours
long."
Our young readers may think that they
too, like the Indian prince, have mentors
in the middle-aged or o!d people aliout
them. Every healthy, haripr boy or girl
looks upon the delight of the m-mu-nt as
eternal, and it is better they should do
so. Why should the athlete, straining to
win the race, be paralyzed w ith the siec
tre of himself as a decrepit! old man?
What boy, struggling for college honors
on Commencement Day, would persevere
if he really believed that day of triumph
to be only twelve hours long, and that
behind it lay oblivion?
Faith in the immoratality of their suc
cess is the mainspring of action in very
one of the courageous, high spirited
lioys and girls w ho read these words.
But they would lie wise if they could
borrow h ilf of the experience of age,
and know how short-lived are the wor
ries, the defeats and pains which seem
intolerable to them now.
"The mosquito which stings you," says
the Sioux proverb, "will be dead to-morrow."
The poor lad straggling through col
lege in a crowd of wealthy classmates,
fancies the mortification and humiliation
which he endures will last as long as life
itself. He forgets how swiftly in this
country social conditions change. In ?0
years not a man in his class probably
will stand where he does to-day. Each
man will have found his place for him
self. !

ing the Bible in his hands he was sur
prised to find the 500 rubles intact. Again
interrogating the toll keeper as to his dil

had finished the chapters of Luke.
"Lying, my son, is a great sin," replied

Opening the book he pointed to the
money, which the man had not seen.
"Thou hast not sought the kingdom of
