A conscience clear,
A household dear.
And bands without a stain.
It never pays to hate a foe

Unbounded mischief brew.
It never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain,
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheaply bought with pain.
A humble lot,
A cosy cot,
Have tempted even kings,
For station high
That wealth will buy,
Naught of contentment brings.

THE ROYAL, SUTUENT.
In the past cental j the University of
Heidelburg differed but little from that
of the present day, save in point of num
bers ; the same mixture of ranks and
classes and the same swaggering, half
military looking personages, pipe in
mouth, were then, as now, to be seen at
all times parading the principal streets.
The student at a German university
is a strange being, an odd compound of
duelling, smoking, billard-playing, love-
making, and study; bat still there are
some whose object is study alone, who
lead a quiet, regular life, and pass
through their terms unoticed, save by
their in.;
I V. A-Y > »
JUOV
such an one was Karl Leibetz.
He lodged at the house of a widow
lady, who had hitherto declined receiv
ing any of the students, her reasons
being two-fold; first, she had where
withal to make her yearly expenses meet
without much straining—and secondly,
her care and solicitude for the welfare
of the pretty Adeline,, her only daugh
ter, clearly pointed out to her that a
gay and ratt’ing student would ill accord
with her arrangements.
Her fccruples were, however, removed
by a note from Mr. East bans, the prin
cipal banker, requesting to know wheth
er she would have any obj notion to receive
atf inmate a young man whose con
nections were of the highest reopecta-
bility, and for whom he would enter
into any guarantee she might desire.
The recommendation of the worthy
banker was not to be refused, and a
reply in the affirmative, stating how
happy Madame Hartman would feel in
receiving any fnend of Mr. Eeisthaus,
was immediately sent, and in due course
Mr. Karl Leibetz arrived.
In a short time Madame Hartman
began to find that Mr. Karl was a re
markably pleasant young man; he was
so quiet, that she could scarcely believe
she had received any addition in her
household; there was no smoking from
morn till night, no bottles of beer strew
ed about the rooms iu all directions, and
no carousing all night with his fellow-
students ; in fact, she began to consider
him more as a friendly guest than a
lodger.
On his first arrival, tl e pretty Adeline,
whose expectations and curiosity had
been excited in the highest degree, had
expressed herself rather disappointed ;
there was a chilling hanteur about him
which she could not at all understand;
but in a short time this wore away, and
Adeline, began partly to concide with
her mother’s opinion, in thinking him
very agreeable, and partly to go rather
further than Madame Hartman had done,
finding him a very handsome young
man.
I believe it to bo a general rule with al
narrators of “ Historiettes,” never to
allow a young couple to become domic
iled under tho same roof without engen
dering the tender passion, and 1 mean
shortly, in a work of fiction, boldly to
strike out a new reading for myself
but at the present time, as I have to do
with stubborn facts, I must be content
to jog on in the old-fashioned way, and
admit that there was some truth in tne
surmises of an attachment existing be
tween Mr. Karl and the pretty Adeline
and perhaps it was not so wonderfu
that such should be the case—all things
considered—for Adeline was, in honest
truth, a remarkably pretty girl, with a
something so piquante and lively abou;
her, that you were lured away by her
fascinations, ere you had time altogether
to moke up your mind that you v. ere
doing anything more than considering
her as a very agreeable sort of a person
As for Air. Karl, I can’t, aa an honest
historian, quite agree with Adeline, in
saying he was very handsome.
He was quiet in his maimers, elegant
in his appearance, and particularly at
tentive as to the make and arrangement
of his dress.
It was not until some time had elaps
ed that Mr. Karl, finding himself ex
tremely annoyed by the attentions of a
provokingly handsome youth toward
Mam’selle Adeline, began to question
himself as to why he felt so much irri
tated ; and then it occurred to him in
the strongest manner possible, suddenly
as it were, without any mental train of
reasoning, that he was in iove.
If Karl, or even the pretty Adeline,
had been slow in discovering the growth
of their affections, Madame Hartman
had been somewhat quicker; she had
had experience in these matters, and
could understand the very little inci
dents, which, unheeded by the parties
themselves, speak volumes to a careful
aud interested observer; and, as a wise
and prudent motaer ought to do, she
deemed it right, before matters went too
far, to know something more about Mr.
Karl Leibetz; it was true Mr. Reisthaus
had stated lii-4 family to be of the high
est respectability, and that he was
instructed to honor his drafts to any
amount—all that might be very well, as
far as their orignal position was con
cerned, but something more she thought
ought to be known, as matters seemed
to be taking a different turn
Bo one day, finding the opportunity
of making up some accounts with Mr.
Reisthaus to be very convenient, she
stated at once what were her suspicions,
and begged to know who and what the
elder Mr. Leibetz might be.
The worthy banker seemed somewhat
posed at such a downright question, for
he stared at madame through his spec
tacles as if she had been a newly-discov
ered error in his ledges, but the scrutiny
was unsatisfack: oy, for the lady had
screw r ed up her countenance in the most
determined manner; and, like Brutus,
she paused for a reply.
“This is an awkward business, mar
dame,’* rejoined the banker.
“An awkward business!’' responded
the lady in amp vise.
“Very.
“I really don’t understand you, Mr,
Reisthaus.”
“I am sorry for it, madame; but to
oYrUnm ’*
S
“It is a pity your daughter should
ove Mr. Karl, and it is a pity that Mr.
' lari should be enamored of the young
ady, because there cau be no marriage
in the case.”
What,” screamed the astonished
mother, “not marry my daughter!”
“Perfectly out of the question.’’
“Is he married already?”
“Certainly not.”
“Then what is there to prevent him?”
“He has a father.”
“Doubtless.”
“And his father is ”
“What?”
“Why, madame, I am not axaetly at
iberty to explain; but as a friend to
yourself and family, believe me when I
say it is quite impossible that a mar
riage can, under any circumstances,
take plaee; therefore I wonld advise
you, as soon as possible, to put s stop
to this courting.
The banker looked serious, and
madame knew him so well for a matter-
of-fact personage, that she determined
on following his advice; therefore, on
her return home, without much circum
locution, she stated her mind pretty
freely.
Mr. Karl hummed and ha’d like a
man who had a great to say; but did not
know exactly how to explain himself;
but madame cut the matter extremely
short, by stating that, as a mother,
anxious for the welfare and peace of
mind of her daughter, she was desirous
of preventing her affections being ir
revocably fixed where the object of
them was altogether beyond her reach,
and if perfectly agreeable to Mr. Karl
Leibetz, his absence alone would bring
about so desirable an object.
the next in rotation, she felt a passing
tremor of the moment, but the gracious
bow of the sovereign instantly reassured
her, and she raised her eyes until they
met those of the king, when to her no
small surprise and astonishment, she
recognized Mr. Karl Leibetz; it ap
peared the recognition was mutual, but
the king, looking around, to prevent
any breach of court etiquette, she
merely bowed and passed on.
What were the precise results of this
eolaircissement, I know not bnt the
worthy Mr. Reiter was often heard to
congratulate himself on the lucky chance
which had led him to carry on his busi
ness at Munich, since he had prospered
even beyond his most sanguine hopes.
A Flea for Eons Hair.
A studen t on hair writes; whether the
hair should be cut at all I never could
satisfy myself. As a a physiological prac
tice. I seriously doubt the propriety. Every
cutting is a wounding, and there is some
sort of bleedisg in consequence, and waste
of vital force, 1 think it will be found
that long lived persons most frequently
wear the hair long.
The cutting of the hair stimulates to a
new growth to supply the waste. Thus
the energy required to maintain the vigor
of the body, is drawn off to make good
the wanton destruction, It is said. I know,
that after the hair has grown to a certain
length, it loses its vitality at the extremity
and splits or “brooms up.” Whether this
would be the case, if the hair should never
be cut, I would like to know. When it is
cut a fluid excludes, and forms a cicatrix
at each wounded extremity, indicating that
there has been injury.
Women and priests have generally worn
long flair. I never could ’uiagiue why this
distinction was made. The ancient priest
was very often unsexed or devoted to a
vow of celibacy, but I cannot imagine
whether that had anything to do with it.
Kings wore their hair long iu imitation of
Samson, and the golden Sun-God, Mithras
I suspect from this, that the first men
shorn were slaves and laborers: that free
men wore tbeir hair upmutilated, as the
crown of perfect manhood and manliness
If this be correct, the new era of freedom,
wh-m it over shal dawn, will be charac
terized by men unshorn as well as women
unperverled,
1 wish that our science and our civiliza
tion had better devices for preserving the
integrity of the hair. Baldness is a defon-
mity and premature whiteness a defect.
If the head was in health and the body in
proper vigor, 1 am confident that this
would not be. I am apprehensive that
our dietetic haoits occasion the bleaching
of the hair, tho st ff, arsenic-prepared hat
is responsible for much of the beidoeer,
Our hats aro unhealthy from the tricks of
the hatters. 1 suppose there are other
causes, however, Heredity has its influ
ence. Certain aiseases wither the hair at
its roots, others lower the vitality of the
skin, and so depilate the body.
1 acknowledge that the shingled head
disgusts me. It cannot be wholesome.
The most sensitive part of the head is at
the back, where the reck joins. This
place exposed to unusual cold or heat, is
liable to receive aj^, injury that will be
permanent, it not fatal, in a short period.
The whole head wants protection, and the
hair affords this as no other protection
can. Men have beards because they need
tnem. and it is wicked to cut them off.
No growth or part of the body is superflu
ous, and we ought, as candidates for healtn
and long life, to preserve ourselves from
violence or mutilation. Integrity is the
true manly standard.
Dangerous Amerluan Fortunes.
Mr. Karl looked very angry, and
tried to expostulate; but madame re
mained firm, and the result was his
departure from Heidelburg on the fol
lowing day.
The pretty Adeline pined for some
time for the loss of her companion, but
aa time wore on, and as neither he nor
tidings of him ever reached her after
ward, she gradually began to listen to
the addresses of a young merchant,
named Reiter; and though he wantec
the grace, ease, and dignity of Mr,
Karl, yet the match was so desirable,
and the young man so agreeable, that
she at length consisted to become Ma
dame Reiter.
Time wore away, and some few years
passed on, Madame Reiter having fol
lowed the prosperous fortunes of her
husband, who had finally settled at
Munich; as they were but recently ar
rived, with the intention of permanently
residing at the Bavarian court, it was
necessary that they should be presented.
The important day being arrived,
found Madame Reiter arrayed in all
the splendor of a court dress, and
plumes “en suite,'’ and looking more
blooming and handsome than ever; and
the admiration of the crowd of courtiers
waiting their tarn for presentation.
A mostly Dome.
An EngliEh writer says there is evidence
forthcoming from America that fortunes
may be accumnlated on a scale of which
Englishmen have little conception, and
that when they have been accumulated
their increase may be sought from a motive
which is never quits satiated, the thirst for
direct and indirect influence on affairs.
Europeans, even those who study it, un
derrate American fortunes; first, because
they think the rich must spend largely;
and secondly, because they assume what
is quite false—that great wealth must be
invested at about four per cent. . it may,
as American example shows, be invested
by millionaires, wso do not care for rest
in work which yields from three times to
ten times that rate. Now, the governing
financial fact abou* tUc Vanderbilt rail
ways is that they ara managed to yield,
and do yield, a steady 10 per cent.; and
Mr. Vanderbilt ought, therefore, to be is
possession of an income ot £2,000,000 a
year. It is not, probably, so much, be
cause part of his fortune must have been
estimated for probate duty on shares above
par; but, taking it at only £1,600,000,
Mr. V anderbilt, who does not spend un-
productively the interest of his dividends,
might easily at seventy own £50,000,000,
yielding an average of 8 per cent. None
of his known rivals, perhaps, could do
this; but their sons might, and it is quite
on the cards that in 1920 the American
Union may possess a dozen capitalists each
with £50,000,000 solidly invested, yielding
incomes of from £3,000,000 to £4,000,000
a year. Be it observed, we do not include
any fresh making of money by tne million
aires, though they make it every day;
or any calculation about compound inter
est, though there is such a force in move
menl in iheir favor. We assume only
that they live on the interest of their in
terest—In Mr. Vanderbilt's case £#0,000 a
year—and invest the remainder in the new
railroads, telegraphs, and eteam lines which
they construct or regulate. The tempta
tion so to accumulate, in a country where
lazy wealth brings so little enjoyment,
while working wealth brings power,
status and celebrity is great, and the draw
backs to a man not afraid of occasions;
threats, are not mmy. Railway mana
gers are easily found, other stockholders
take much work off the millionaires’
hands, and as against ordinary accident,
so vast an investment forms its own best
insurance. If an Englishman could own
51 per cent, of the Midland A Great
Northern, and appoint any director he
pleased, his wealth would be fairly secure;
much more secure than if he owned a
wheat growing county in East Anglia, Is
the existence of a fortune of this kind in
the hands of a man whose business in life
is the acquisition of power, safe for the
communityt We cannot but tee) a doubt
of it.
WbM To Eat And Drink Whan Trie}cling
An Antuo^c urofarj.
Father Sorin, Professor Gregori. the
well-known artist, and Architect Ed-
brooke are perlecting anangements for
a new and splendid feature at Notre
Dame University, South Bend, Indiana,
namely, the erection of the dome over
the main building, which, it is said, will
30 the finest thing of the kind in this
country, the dome of the Capitol at
Washington alone excepted. When
completed the dome at Notre Dame will
be 200 feet high and the statue sur
mounting it will be illuminated at night
by as ellipse of electric jets. The in
terior will be painted in the highest
style of art, of which he is master, by
Professor Gregori. The arch of the
cupola will be adorned with thirty-six
allegorical paintings, representing the
arts and sciences, among others philo
sophy, astronomy, law, physics, theo
logy, agriculture, music, poetry, the
mechanic arts, etc.
The dome was designed in 1879 by
Mr. W. J. Edbrooke, of Chicago, in his
plan of the college buildings. It is to
be a strong and massive structure of
iron, gilt on the outside, similar to that
of the Hotel des Invalides, of Paris,
It will cost from $25,000 to $80,000.
The foundations were laid deep and
strong, when the new college bmlding
was erected, and the massive structure
of brick on which the dome is to rest
was raised to a height of seventy-five
feet.
Sidewalk CleamuK In Germany.
It is now more than thirty years since
Sir Henry Layard, passing through oue of
the doorways ot the partially explored pal
ace iu the mound ot Kouvunjik, guarded
by sculptured fish gods, stood for the first
time in the double chambers containing a
large portion of the immense library col
lected by Assurbannipsl, King of Nineveh.
Tue floors, to the depth of a foot or more,
were covered with thousands of tablets,
all engraved with cuneiform writing:many
in perfect condition, but the majority bro
ken into several fragments, frequently
widely separated and portions apparently
sometimes missing altogether. These tab
lets were of various siz.s, rang ng from
one inch square to about n ne by six inch
es, by far ihe larger portion alike iu shape
something similar to a pin cuahion, or dog
biscuit, but occasionally resembling a cyl
iuder or small barrel. The lesser ones
contained, perhaps, only two or three lines
of characters; the larger sometimes nearly
one hundred. From the manner in which
they were heaped together and broken,
aud the fact that many have been found
buried in neighboring parts of the debris,
it is evident tnat these chambers were not
the original depository of the tablets, but
that the library must have been placed in
some upper story of the edifice of which
they formed a part. Then, upm. the de
struction ot the building, luey were precip
itated into the position in which the ex
plorer found them.
bince that time, with bulslight intermis
sions, this treasure house of a forgotten
past nas been turned over aud over again
and again, notably in the expeditions of
ihe late Mr. George Smith, <thd still the
supply of it* cuueif rin literature is not
exhausted. Until last year this discovery
remained unique; but the perseveraoce of
the British Muteum authorities and the
pa ie Jt labor of Mr. Rassam were then rt
warded by the exhumation of what is ap
parently the lify aty chamber of the temple
or palace at Sippara, with all ita If, 000
tablets, resting undisturbed arranged in
their positions on the shelves, just as
placed in order by the librarian twenty-
fire centuries ago. The couteuts of the
library, so far as they have yet been deci
phered, relate to commercial transactions.
Some riders choose to take no regular
meals at all during their journey, pre
ferring to carry with them some plain
and simple food and dnnk, like a meat
biscuit and a bottle of cold tea or milk,
and to partake of a little very frequent
ly as they go along not even oaring to
diemoont for the partaking of the re
freshment. We understand that this
plan answers very well indeed when a
long distance has to be made and there
is little or no time for rest. It is better,
nevertheless, to dismount take a light
meal of mixed food, rest for a good long
timo so let digestion nave full awing,
and then on again, gently at first, brisk*
ly afterward. Such a plan gives good
digestion of the food, quick and excel
lent distribution of it over the body for
nutritive purposes, and a healthy and
sharp appitite for the meal that is next
to oome. The diet itself can scarcely
be too simpie. Animal food should be
fresh, not salted, and well cooked; light
animal foods like fish and fowl and mut
ton are yery good to work on; eggs aud
milk are very good. A couple of eggs
beaten well up in a oup, mixed with
hot water, sweetened moderately with
sugar, and treated with a small quantity
of mi Ik so as to make from half a pint
to three-quarters of a pint, is with a
little biscuit, an excellent sustaining
meal for those to whom eggs are easily
digestible. To those who can digest it
oatmeal porridge is very good to break
fast on; aud to all who can digest milk,
milk is lightly thickened with wheat
meal is most snbstaining. Bread should
be taken in moderate quantity, aud
fresh vegetables and fresh fruit are al
ways in character when not taken i*
excess. Some fruits which for a mo
ment seem extremely refreshing while
on the travel become a cause of thirst
if the day is very warm. I notice this
particulary in regard to cranages, the
most tempting perhaps and the most
easily obtained of all fruits.
Of drinking during tricycle exercise
I must speak with some care. It is not
very difficult to learn trioyole without
desire for too much driuk of any kind.
But if the beginner does not learn to
breathe through the nose, if he ac.
quire the habit of breathing through
tne month, he is sure to acquire also
the desire to take liquids ux too treely.
He will become so dry in ihe mouth he
will feel he cannot get on unless be has
something to quench Lis thirst, and
that is an evil habit even though the
drink be as innocent as the purest water
itself. The first point, therefore, is to
drink as little as possible; to drink as
much as will fill up the loss that is
made by evoporatiug of the water from
the body and not any more.
What the character of the drink shall
be is not very diffioult to answer, and
what it should not be is answered with
ess diffionlty, for certainly of all things
again it should not be an alooholio stim
ulant On this last named point we
who are advocates for total abstinence
from all alooholio beverages have se
cured, beyond any mistake, a flue score
rum tricycling experiences. Those who
are to some degree in opposition tc ns
on the general question, I mean those
wno still hold that alooholio drinks are
in their right place as luxuries and
should not be denied as luxuries, are
with ns if they are practised tricyolists,
iu expressing that alcoholic stimulation
is fatal to good, sure, and sustained
work.
FOOD FOR THOUGH1.
The Writ Wat Enforaad.
The focal law requires
of Zeitz, in Germany, to clear the side
walk lu front of his residence “before
the break of day.” After three trials
the Court of Revision nas just decided
that a man who was accused of neglect
mg that duty on the •19’h day of last
January must pay the fine imposed for
such dereliction. It was admitted that
the sidewalk was not cleaned until 7 45
iu tne morning, and the question to be
decided was whether or not day haa
broken at that hour. The case first
came before a Police Magistrate, who de
cided that the day began with tne rising
o! the sun, and as the sun had not risen
at the hour named no fine was due. On
appeal, a higher Court reversed the judg
ment, declaring that the day begins with
the twilight (Dsmmerung.) The Court
of Revision affirmed the second judg
ment, but corrected the definition ot day
tfreak, maintaining that the day begins
not with the twilight (Dammerung), but
with actual daylight (Tageshellc), which
is followed by the customary traffic and
business o' the day.
Some time ago Bishop Minkwitz,
well-known freethinker of Little Rock,
furnished lumber for the erection of
negro church. Somehow the brothers
neglected to pay Bishop Minkwitz, and
. last Sunday the old man went to the
every citizen churcn, a place he rarely visits, and took
a seat among the ardent brethren. Du
ring the sermon the minister said: “This
is the Lord’s house, and we should all
be thankful for the privilege of sitting
m the house of the Lord.” “Hold onl
exclaimed Minkwitz; ‘‘this is not the
Lord's house. This is my house. When
you pay me for the material of which
mis house is constructed you may call
it the i/vd’s house, bnt until you do
pay me you must refer to this as the
house of Minkwiiz.” It is said that the
old man has secured a writ by which he
can by law compel the,preacher to refer
to the church as the house of Minkwitz,
and that he intends to be present at
every meeting and see that the provis
ions of the wnt are enforced.

couldn’t whin you, could she!” “No; not
easily.” “Was Bamson a Democrat?” “I
don’t know. ” ‘ ’But why don’t you know.
I’d know if I was as old as you. How
many was it that Bamson killed?” ' One
thousand.” “He was bad, wasn’t he?”
“No.” “But when a man kills anybody
he’s bad! ” • ‘The Lord was with Bamson. ”
“But the Lord says you musn’t kill any
body. Hid Bamson go to Heaven?” “1
suppose so.” “He is the strongest angel
there, ain’t he?” “You are getting foolish
again.” “But 1 want to know. Will you
know Bumson when you go to Heaven?”
‘T suppose so.” “But you won’t fool
around him, will you? if he was to hit
you he’d break your wings, wouldn’t he?”

Discretion of speech is more than elo
quence.
Where children are, there Is the gol
den age.
That is half granted whioh is denied
graciously.
We must learn to infuse sublimity in-
he spoke of “gentlemen of the ehede.” to trifles; that is power.
Pleasure may be aptly oompa*ed to
many great books, which increase in
real value in the proportion they are
abridged.
There is very little that we do in the
way of helping our neighbors that
dois not oonae back in blessings on our
selves.
We live in progressive times. Holmes
said only ten years ago. “Put no‘,
your trust iu money, but your money iu
trust,” but we have learned that it is
not safe to do even that.
Every duty well done adds to the
moral aud spiritual stature. Each op
portunity eagerly grasped and used is
tne key to larger privileges.
The next thing to excellence is to
love excellence; and to love its opposite
ia to be its opposite. To hate excel
lence is to be at its opposite pule.
As in nature things move more vio
lently to their place, and calmly in
their place, so virtue iu ambition is
violent; in authority, settled and calm.
To express no more than is really
meant is bhe of the first steps towards
correct speech, just as careful pruni.ig
is as important to the vine as a rich
soil.
No man is so foolish but he may
give another good counsel sometimes,
and no man is so wi^e hut he may err
if he wi|l take no other’s counsel but
his own.
The history of every discovery, oi
every enterprise, of benevolence, of
every reform, is the history uf toil and
watching throngh long discourage
ments.
Simple-minded John Wesley, when
preaching against riohee said, “To ride
in a coach here and to get to heaven
hereafter” is almost too muon tor any
man to ask
A fear that present joys are “too good
to last,” and that a sadder day is coming,
is hardly lees common, and not a whit
more excusable, than the thought that
the former days were better ihui these.
If Spring puts forth no blossoms, in
Summer there will be nc beauty, and
in Autumn no fruit. So, if youth be
trifled awuv without improvement, riper
years will be contemptible, and old age
miserable.
The finer the nature, the more flaws
will It chow through the clearness of it
The best things are seldomeet seen in
their beat form. The wild grass grows
well and strongly one year with another,
but this wheat is, by reason of its g~eat
nobiensets, liable to a bitter blight
A sharp retort is sometimes better
then an argument When Sir John
became exasperated at a puppy who
persisted in asiring impertinent ques
tions be suddenly turned upon him and
said, “Wno pays the dog tax for you,
sii?” and there really seemed no rcfli$i
for further remarks.
