HEART•WEALTH-A SKETCH FOR
CREDITORS
conn, an
'Samtlef "the old Eeast India
merchant and ship owner left a large
property to his wife and children. To
his three sons he left his ships, and his
business, together with all the 'books
and papers of his office, and having
made this proposition he went on in
his will to say,—"Among my debtors
are many worthy men whom I have not
pressed, and whom I would not) con
sign to needless suffering. It is my de
sire that those who deserve forgiveness
may be forgiven, even as I pray that
my Heavenly rather may forgive me."
When the sdns came to take iposses
-1,011
,of 'the business, ,one of their first
rives, after difiv:itig provided for the
,mautigement of more weighty matters,
Was to'consider this injunction of their
l'ather's Will.)
" Onr father has left us' enough," Said
John, the elder brother, "and we will
not fail to honor his memory and his
WhiiloB."
"And lead others to 1n that mem
ory green and sacred," added Andrew,
the F•ccond brother. "What says Pe
ter ?"
The younger thus addressed, spoke as
follows :
repeated prayet----'Forgrve h"'def3i•
as we forgive otr debtors,' for I think
he died with that prayer upon hislips—
or in his heart, at least. I would sug
gest that liir.Ati l ithorvoon be requested
to make out a list of those debtors whom
he may judge to be worthy of forgive
ness. lie has been our father's confi
dential clerk and correspondent for al
most thirty years and probably knows
the exact standing and character of
every person indebted. Let him give
us a list, with such marginal explana
tion as he may deem necessary, and we
can then do as we deem proper in indi
vidual cases."
Peter's plan wns adopted. The old.
clerk mado out the list, and the amount
of indebtedness thus set down, without
reckoning interest, was over twenty
thousand dollars.,
"A big sum," said John, thought
fully. .
" And think of the interest," ' sug
gested An I ew. '
"Not so big as was our father's,"
added Peter, "and bearing no such in
terest as I trust his account bears, in
heaven."
John and Andrew shook Peter by the
hand, while little Sammy, John's son,
a lad of five years,- asked how an ac
count could bear interest in heaven.
" Peter must explain that," said_ his
father.
And Peter took the boy upon his
knee, and told him about doing good,
and how God loved to have us good to
one another, and how we could lay up
treasures in heaven. And he asked. the
boy if he understood ; and Sammy said
he did.
Time passed on. One cold, black day
in the late Autumn a woman entered
the counting house. She was past the
middle age, humbly, but neatly clad,
with a face pale and frank, and marked
.wirh care, John and Peter were inthe
ofidce ' and Maiter SamMY 'was in the
'corner, behind Andrew's'' empty desk,
building 'houses with old log books.
; - "Is Mr. Veasi in 7" the visitor asked
timidly, and with much tremulousness.
"That is myname, madam," returned
John,.handing her a chair, "and this
is'my 'brother."
"Your father held an account, or ti
note against my husband, and I have
come to settle it."
" What is your husband's nano ?"
'He is dead sir. His name was Law
renee Patten."'‘
"Do you know what was the nature
of the indebtedness?" ,
" It was a debt of honor, sir; and my
husband could only die content when
I had promised him, upon my bonded
knees that it should be paid. Your
rather Iti:,livmh , rtrul for a large sum.
He was collector of taxes, and a pai tut
whom he had trusted ran away with a
great deal of money,—so much that it,
crippled him ; and Would have ruined
him, if your father bud not saved him.
lie was a poor man, sir, but God knows
he was honest." ,
The Normal wiped her eyes, and Htthl
hammy Caine out from behind the deal .
" When Lawrence knew that he tout-t.
die," she resuwed, "he placed in my
hands all his accounts, and all his prop
erty, he bade me rest not until I
had gathered together to pay the indeb.-
eduess. He said Mr..Veasie,_had beea
)ihe a father to him—hart put forth los

time .'might have to do it myself. I
was going across a prairie once ; my
horse began to limp. Luckily I came
across a (blacksmith's shop, but the
smith was not at home. I asked the
woman of the house if she would allow
me to start a Are, and make the shoe.--
She said I might if I knew how ; so I
started a fire and heated the shoe red
hot; and turned to lit my horse's foot,
and pared, the hoof, and turned the
points of the nails out cunningly, as I
Lad seen the blacksmith do, so that io
driving into the hoof they should not
go into the quick, and shod the horse.—
At the next place I came to I weir,
straight to a smith, and told lgim to pa

HEAR THE OTHER SIDE,
The crime of foeticide has of late re
ceived much of just and caustic rebuke.
But the blame with great injustice has
been hnpliedly attributed to the women
akin°. The appeal has been to them.
The tone
.of criticism and of accu
sation has been such as to, imply that
the men have no responsibility in this
guilt. The cartoon of a popular weekly
repsesent the linsband as mourning
asidO in solitude, while the wife, in the
eray.'circle, pointing to shadowy unborn
inlaiuts, is made to say, "I want no
children about me."
But husbands have borne their full
share in this crime as accomplices.—
They too have often been desirous of
relief from the prospective burden of
the cam and support of their own ofr
spring. They too have not been desti
tute of that pride and Of that love for
gay life, which seek relief from the so
called ineumbrances. They have
often conspired in procuring the effec
tive nostrum, or in' securing at extrev
agent cost the disreputable service of
the abortionist. They have shared in
the culpable ignorance as to the phys
iological laws of the generative system,
which they have transgressed.
Go to the physicians and ask them if
the main responsibility for this unnatu
ral crime belongs to the wives. They
will tell you that in almost all cases it
is a matter of agreement that, in many,
husbands propose and insist upon the
destructive process, and that they fre
quently apply for the needed profession.
al assistance. They will give you facts
that will startle you upon this point,
facts like these : A worthy young
couple are surprised at the prospect of
parentage; they are anxious for chit
dren in• time, but with their' present
'limited income they cannot think of it
now ; it will also mortify them to come
to this relation within the first year of
married life, and so they agree to the
sad alternative. It is effective; but,
alas! too much so, for to their dismay
they flud that the power of reproduc
tion itself is destroyed and along with
it that source of domestic happiness.—
In that and all such cases, the linsbanel
is at fault equally with the wife. A
couple have one child and prospect for
another. The husband behaves' him
self ungallantly and almost cruelly be
cause the wife will not conseut to put
away the fruit of her own life, Another
wife by the medical process is relieved,
but she is thereby made a bed-ridden
Invalid for eeveneyears, and is despoiled
for the 'poesibility of maternity, which
is a great affliction to birth. And that
abortion was procured at the solicita
tion of the husband. Many wives wlee
cry with Ruche] : " Give me children,
or else I die," and \dill Hannah, "In
bitterness of soul," have superadde:l th
bitter pangs that this dispensation of
barrenness is-not only by their own ac:
tuft by their crime. Your physician

he can take you to the ceineteily aunt

wiv e s who have gone thither by th •

Husbands assume a large share it
this crime of the slaughter of the innt •
eel) hi by their lack 01 temperance ant,
self-control. The argument beretofort
has gone much as though it was lakes
for c e:ranted that mothets must bear a-,
fast as nature allow. They muzT, I
not interfere wltli the foetal life ultra
pain of committing a great sin • ant,
3-et they are lA, relieved even by in
injunction of moderation upon the oth
er party. nu a 'discussion upon thi I
point before a Minister's Association,
this case was mentioned : A delicate
lady had borne several children anti
feared that a repetition would take he,•
life ; nothing was left but a resort bt
pre-natal killing; no intimation was
made of any responsibility upon the,,
other side previous to any such eon •
tingency. The mass of wives, who are
tempted to resort to this crime, would
rejoice in maternity if the number
could be limited according as their con-.
stitution and health and the circum
stances of the family would allow. But
twhat is the prospect before, is woman
'who starts with having children as fast
as nature allows? Iler life is to be a
steady drag, from the age of twenty to
that of forty-five, with the risk anti
anxiety as to the loss of her own life
greatly increased by this frequency.—
Even In these days of smaller families
it is not infrequent that women bear
ten, twelve and sixteen times, though
perhaps al* thisitriivail of a life time,
only two or three live to grow up. This
is a terrible ordeal to look forward to.—
Then to the physical suffering and care
must be added the trial of thesocial
in
solution attendant, and the fact that
while the mother is subjected to this
deprivation of society, the-father is en
joying it and making improveffint.—
fs it any wonder then that with such a
prospect before her she resorts to an ef
fectual mode of relief, even at the risk
of life and of strain upon her moral
sense. Then, until lately there has been
the palliation of ignorance. Most pers
ons have supposed that, early in the
foetal existence, there tray no [tarot in
interfering with the course of nature.—
This reprehensible ignorance has pre
vailedstoo, among people 'who would
repel any intimation as to their lack of
eultdre in nay other respect. But now
by the partial fidelity of the press and
of the pulpit and of the medical fra
ternity, such ignorance can no forager'
be winked at, can no longer palliate th
wrong done. If their nature and liter
al sense forbid interference with tit,
initiate life what relief is there left bu.
in rational self-control._

the -big financial crash of 1857? 1t
spread over the country, even into St.

and seemingly most prosperous merch

unable to meet his calls, and as a con

became moody and fretful, even in the

he to do? He had not much time left
for ruminating on his position, and
something should be done quickly.—
His first resolve was to make over the

an annuity of $640 a year on his wife

following additional 'information touch
ing the new M. E. Church in this
loge :
74 The style is Norman• Gothic. Front
entrances, three in number, the towers
forming the vestibule. The interior is
"open roof" finis to the collar beast;
massive rafters or almented with taste
ful carving ; th seats, wainscoting:
gallery and orehe tra loft, of sehesteut
trimmed with black walnut and 13qt:er
r:mt. The windows are mullioned and
filled with stained glass of various tints,
containing at the top appropriate Chris
tian emblems. The three brat are me•
mortal windows, presented by the
ifriends of the deceased persons whose
names they - bear, - viz: Rev. Gebrge
Chester Robinson, M. A., William
Bache, senior, and Mrs. Permilla Cool
edge. The last two were among the
first members of the church in Wells
boro, and the first, the gifted and la
mented son of our ell known towns
man, Chester Robinson, Eke., at the
time of his death one of the most prom
ising young ministers in the Methodist
Church.
Each memorial window is of rieliand
highly colored glass, containing, each,
three appropriate emblems—the two
lower ones intended to represent per
sonal characteristics, and the upper one
the idea of heavenly reward. :The
middle window is Inscribed, "Rey.
George Chester Robinson, M. A., born
Aug. 11, 1833, died Sept. 21, 1884." , Tile
emblems'are, (1) A tongue of fire, sig
nifying the Holy Ghost, the Inspirer,
and. surrounded by an inscription in
Greek, eThod givest power to the
weak." In the opposite panel is a hand
grasping a pilgrim's staff, with an in
scription in German which was a favor•
ate motto of the deceased. At the top,
in a blood red field, is f a wood colored,
cross, with a palm branch lying diag
onally across it, typical' of the struggle
and the victory.
Mr. Bache's window has for its lower
emblem, (1) a pair of balances, (2) a
gnarled oak, and at the top of a golden
sheaf of wheat ("a shook of corn fully
ripe.") •
• The remaining ,window has for its
emblems, (1) a helmet, (hope), (2) a
shield, (faith), had at the top a golden
crown.
These, and the soft colorS of the side
windows, gives in the sunlight a very
soft and uleildw-tinted atmosphere to
the interior of the church, and the effect
;s heightened by the green carpeting,

Mansfield has lost in the person .of
Professor Streit one of her .Worthiest
citizens, one of her besttl. and truest
men ; while y - e, my fellow-students,
who gathered around our Alma Muter
in the - Normal's palmy days, mourn
with heart-felt sorrow the loss of a geu

and faithful teacher. We shall miss
him—his friendship and )vise counsels
—but we shall not soon-forget him.—

"'tit for us, Professor Streit, in this Promised L au d !
university of Chicago, Nov. 10.
A story is told of a late storm, which
runs as follow-3: An old gent with his
, t gpii wife tried to escape from the good
which surrounded his house and stable
by wading, but his wife's strength and
resolution were not equal to the task,
so be helped her up into a tree and
made his way alone to A knoll a short
distance away. Here he stood, lament
ing his situation in this wise: " Oh!
if t only had my wife here I wouldn't
valley giving five dollars! And there's
the pig; I'd give ten dollasthis miunit
If be was only safe!"
