The Conduct of Life.
Be it good that vre do, let us do it,
Giving sonl and our strength to the deed ;
Let us pierce the hard rock and pass through it.
And compass the thing that we need.
Does Fate, as a dark cloud, hang over,
And cover our heads from the light ?
Does hate mark the heart of the lover ?
Must wrong be the victor of right V
ict 111 r:uo mere is iruouum iui wlu uut
To make or to mar as he will;
And t'.io bolts of ill fortune that reach one
May maim, but they never shall kill.
Ever onward and upward pursuing
The aim that is thine for the day,
Adding strength to thy strength by thy doing,
Thou shaii gain it, nor faint by the way.
And though thou art busiest with small things,
Though menial thy labor may be,
Do thy utmost in that and in all things,
Thou still shalt be noble and free.
Dost thou love? let it be with full measure ;
Nor mingle with coldness or hate
Of others the joy of thy pleasure,
The passion that crowns thy estate.
Ba to every man just; and to woman
Be gentle, and tender and trne ;
For thine own do thy best; but for no man
Do less than a brother should do.
So living thy days full to number,
In peace thou shalt pass to the grave ;
Thou shalt lie down and rest thee, and slumber,
Beloved by the good and the brave.
LOUIE'S SUCCESS.
" I can't see whatever we will dc* with
lier. She's a delicate, sickly little thing,
and hasn't either the strength or the desire
to earn her living as the rest of us
do?eh, Louie ?"
Motherly old Mrs. Simmonds smiled
1 alf approvingly, half indulgently down
in the pale, wistful faoe of the girl who
sat so quietly beside her, listening to the
conversation going on between Mr. Simmonds
and her guest?Farmer Alwyn's
wife, who had just run over with her
knitting ior an afternoon's visit and to
" stay to tea."
They were the very ideals of comfortable,
contented, well-to-do farmer's wives;
they were portly, rosy and bright-eyed?
sucn a contrast, physically, to the slim,
sallow, hollow-eyed girl who spoke never
a word unless specially addressed.
Her name was Louie Harland, and she
had been a member of the thrifty Sim
inonds family for years?ever since a bitter
cold December day, thirteen years
ago, when a forlorn, half-clothed baby
of three years, she had come to the
kitchen door crying, shivering, and in
barely intelligible words told them she
had lost "father," and was so cold and
hungry.
Mrs. Simmonds' big, warm heart had
been stirred to the very depths by the
. sight of the forlorn little waif, and in
singled indignation against the cruel
wretch who would permit such a baby to
become so ragged, suffering and neglected,
and great, tender pity, took the
little one in, resolving to keep it in
warmth and plenty until "father"
should search for it, and it had now
been fourteen years, and Louie Harland
had come to be almost regarded as a
genuine Simmonds by father and mother
and the half-dozen rosy, plump children
who loved Louie so dearly.
For she was loveable. and although,
as Mrs. Simmonds tenderly declared, the
child was fit for nothing?not even competent
to earn her salt, yet she was a
favorite with them all for her sweet,
gentle ways, and her patience and willingness
to do what little she could.
Only Louie could not work. It seemed
to her that of all terrible things the
routine of housework was the most terrible,
and yet 6he never hesitated an instant
to obediently perform whatever lay
within her power, however distasteful
the task was.
But?there was one thing Louie loved
to do, one thing that made the Simmonds
girls and boys sometimes laugh, and
sometimes cry, and sometimes feel awestruck;
chat made farmer Simmonds
often lay down his pipe in rapt amazed
interest, that made Mrs. Simmonds wipe
her eves and sob audibly?and that was
when Louie would read aloud of winter
evenings, or recite some exquisite poem
she had memorized, or render some
side-splitting morceau from some humorist.
Then Louie would seem to lost her
identity. Shewould flush with excite.
ment, and her fresh, sweetly-intoned
young voice would fairly vibrate with
the intensity of the enthusiasm; her
fragile form would seem to dilate with
intensest interest; her dark, intelligent
eyes would shine with inspiration, or
melt with pathos or glow with humor,
and from farmer Simmonds down to little
Xell tliey all considered Louie's reading
a genuine treat.
Only that they never dreamed of appreciating
it as they ought?none of them
except William Dayton, Mrs. Simmonds'
younger brother, who would hang on
Louie's enraptured words with interest
scarcely less intense than her own.
He came gradually to care very much
for her ; until, one day, when she went
to him with all her heart in her big black
eyes, and told him, breathlessly, that
Mrs. Lecount, the great lady who was
staying at the hotel, had heard her reciting
one day when she was driving by,
11 nd had iustantly come in, and had a
long, long talk with her, and the result
was she was to go back to London with
her?When William Dayton heard that
lie knew for sure that he cared, very,
very much for Louie?that she had completely
filled his heart, and that without
her life would lose very many, if not all,
its charms. And right then and. there
he told her how he loved ber, how he
should miss her, and begged her to be
true in heart to him when she should be
uway among people who would no doubt
be more congenial to her than her old
associates. And Louie had confessed
her love and promised to be true to him;
and not long after that she went away
from the auiet countrv side with Mrs.
Lecount, anil although letters frequently
came saying she was well and happy,
and had found occupation that was easyand
delightful to her, still the old farm
house seemed, lonesome without her,
aud William found it hard work to do
without seeing her thin, intelligent,
callow face that to him was ao fair and
lovely.
The late summer days went on, and
winter followed, and another summer
came, and in all those weary days Louie
never came home, and good old Mrs.
ttiinmonds used to complain and fret
that Louie had forgotten them, that
L _>uie had found other friends to take
their places ; while only William Dayton
would not have it that the one
woman he loved was not true, to her
pure instincts of gratitude and principle.
iJut even William, so loyal, loving, and
t rue 1 >ogan to doubt at last when into
Louie's letters,, dated here and there
and everywhere, there began to appear
very often Claude Hamilton's namenever
in a way that would have aroused
any jealousy, yet in a way that aroused
his wonder, his suspicion that perhaps
Louie had discovered she. loved .this
fancy-named fellow better than she did
himself.
Those were dark days for poor William,
lightened only by Louie's letters,
which were themselves not the lightsome
messages it seemed to William
they should have been. At least, although
they were cheerful, hopeful and
kindly affectionate, still, the recurrence
of Claude Hamilton's name spoiled all
else for Wi'Iiam.
" x Z> 1-" onai'n<>t

fhis Mr. Hamilton, the feeling that was
f-o near akin to jealousy of Louie, there
<\ime to William another new source of
t rouble, and that was a dawning, restloss
discontent that he did not underh
tand the nature of Louie's business.
She had kept it secret from them all
Jit the farm, merrily promising to let
t hem know when her future prospects of
i une and success were assured beyond
the shadow of a doubt.
On that brave, loving promise William
had heretofore quietly rested until
gradually the demon of jealousy crept
i in among his true love for Louie; until
his heart, torn by the never-failing mention,
in some way or other, of Claudef
Hamilton's name, William could no i
longer endure it, and then upon receipt j
L'.
of ft letter from Louie, saying that her
j next would be from London, whore she
; would remain a fortnight, William made 1
up his mind to be in London for tli??t
same fortnight, and devote all his tire-;
less energies to finding the girl he loved, j
and who so persistently kept herself <
from him. '
And so, one stormy night in early Au- 1
tumn, it happened that William Dayton <
was led to Stein Hall, where huge pla- >1
cards announced the appeararance of j <
some popular daamatic reader, whose j'
name he did not see for the crowds that ; ]
were passing in with him; and he took 1
his seat with a strangely homesick, lone- <
some feeling coming over him as he re- 1
alized with a new keen appreciation the (
magnitude of the undertaking that had j'
! brought liim to the city witn its tnou- j'
sands and teriB of thousands of people |1
who had never as much as heard of Louie ' J
Harland's name.
Or ? Claud Hamilton's either, he (
thought, -witl^ a thrill of fierce jealous
rage. Claud Hamilton, for whom he 1
feared, Louie was gradually playing him
false, whom? 1
And just then the enthusiastic ap- *
plause of the vast crowd made him look 1
up to see whom they were welcoming 1
with such warm, glad greeting?made
him look up to see a slight girlish figure 1
standing in the oenter of the stage; a J
stylishly dressed, elegantly-looking lady ;
in trailiug black silk, heavy and lustrous, i J
with frills of exquisite lace falling over 1
her white-kidded hands and braceleted
arms, with a ruff of the same flimsy 1
snowiness circling her slender, round '
throat, where a massive gold pin caught
it in rich plainness of elegance.
A girl with a rarely intelligent face, 1
and dark, intense eyes; with a pure, pale !
complexion to which all the storm ot ap- j:
plause brought no flush of gratified |
vanity, with a gravef expressive mouth i
that made .William Dayton, almost un- >
able to resist the temptation he felt, to '
rush to her and ask her if Claud Hamilton
had defiled it with his love kisses.
For it was Louie Harland?Louie, who,
had risen like a star in her profession^
dramatic reading ? Louie, who had i
crowded houses when she appeared, and j
who was coining a fortune as fast as a |
pair of woman's hands had ever done.
Then she commenced?one of the very j
ballads she had many a time rendered !
for them at the old farm-house, when j
Mrs. Simmonds would wipe her eyes, j
and old farmer Simmonds forget to draw i
on his pipe until it went out.
And William listened, and the vast
audience listened, spellbound, to the
Bweet, pathetic voice, round and full, as
a silver bell. Then followed an uproarious
encore; then other recitations and I
other applause, and then?it was over, j
and William saw her retire off the stage, j
and it seemed to him that he had sud- \
denly gone into a dark place.
It was easy enough to obtain Miss
Harland's address?everybody knew it, :
and so the next morning he was shown j
I to Miss Harland's parlor, where Louie |
herself sat, alone, with her little writing ]
desk before her, at which she was busy
when he was shown in, taking her so \
completely by surprise. _
She arose instantly to greet him, her 1
face flushing warmly enough at sight of '
him, and even as she came across the ; 1
floor and he saw the glow on her cheeks, !
he found himself asking himself if it j:
were joy at seeing him or consciousness ;
of disloyalty to him that occasioned it. j j
ad an even lb xier wuruo wwc muu. u.uu. ,
eager. J
"Will! Ts it possible? Dear, old ;
Will, how glad I am to see you 1"
And in spite of all his fear and doubt 1
William took her in his arms and kissed 1
her. !
"I was starving to see you, my dar- '
ling. I could not live without you any !
longer. Louie ! so this is the mysten- i'
ous secret you have been keeping from j (
ns, from me!" j,
She looked bravely, proudly in his ;
face.
"You speak almost reproachfully, i
Will ! Can you find it in your heart to !
censure me because I wented to wait I;
until I could come, an honor and a help |'
to you all ? Will, don't look at me so? 1
what is the harm in it?" 7 j1
" There is no harm in it, Louie. No ;'
one is prouder of you and your grand i!
success that I?if it hasn't turned your j
heart from me. Louie ! Louie! if you i:
knew how your letters have stabbed me, j
if yon only knew the anguish, the fear, j
and the tormenting doubts that have '
driven me to you?not able to endure !
them."
Louie's eyes were perfect revelations 1
of amazement. 1

and fear!?Will, your doubt and fear of ]
me?" J
" Of you, Louie! I could not bear I
your frequent, yea, continual, ceaseless '
mention of Claud Hamilton's name;
Louie, I feared you "were learning to !
love him, and that I would be forgotten."
His voice was an honest index of his
feelings. It was intense, earnest, so
eagerly anguishful that it touched Louie
very tenderly.
"Will, how could you ? Oh, Will!"
Then half smiling, with a suBpicion of
| tears in her eyes, and a look that was
i equally reproachful and amused, Louie
! rang her bell, and gave a message in an
I undertone to the servant that answered.
| Then she turned to William again.
I "So you have been jealous of Mr.
: Hamilton, Will ? Wait a moment, for I
1 want to'tell you something. Mr. Ham!
ilton is one of the dearest friends I ever
| had. He has been good to me, Will, oh,
, DU gUUUl AlWttJB UC Will UUiXlO Hi.Ob Uli I
' the liBt of my friends ; always?" J lr
She was interrupted by some one rap- j
ping on the door, then enteriug unsummoned.
A little flash of mischievous (
excitement, accompanied by that same j j
look of reproof, was in her eyes as a lit- j :
j tie old gentleman, with a pleasant placid ^
! face came in, with spectacles on his |1
! eyes, and a head bald and shiny, a little '(
i old gentleman as ugly as well could be I j
| imagined, but such a cour teous, high j
| bred gentleman, for all that, it was mani;
fest at a glance.
i " I sent to have you meet Mr. Dayton,
I Mr. Hamilton. Gentlemen, allow me to t
! introduce you?Mr. Hamilton, my dear ]
I adviser and business agent and kindest j
I of friends; Mr. Dayton, my lover?is it, f
| Will?" ?
.!. I
William was so perfectly happy, and t
when he and Louie ran down to the farm c
j for a brief visit, there occurred a hasty, ?
I happy wedding-time, and Mr. Dayton t
! constituted himself adviser and agent i
; of his lovely, talented, popular wife. c
"Because there's no telling how the 1
| land Hamilton jealousy might have 1
: ended if he had happened to be young, t
| handsome, fascinating, and unmarried." f
I Louie laughingly made answer? f
] " Will, you are the most jealous man , t
in existence." . s
She lifted her Bweet face to her bus- I e
band's, and, as he kissed her, he said: I
"Because I am the most loving. I
There can be no love without jealousy? !
but I'll never doubt you again, dearest." j
The Deacon Answered.
" Up in New Hampshire, where I
! lived when, a boy," says Gov. Noyes, |
i^41 there was an old deacon who was a j
, great deal more pious than honest. He j
was an old hypocrite, and when he had
| done any particularly mean thing, he
eased his conscience by going out into a
field alongside of which was a stone
wall, and, kneeling beside it, praying
: the Lord to topple it over on him if he
had done anything offensive to him or
offensive in his sight.1 Well, we boys ;
! found it out, and one day when we Baw J
the deacon making for the wall we got I
j on the other side and waited. He knelt I
l down, according to his usual custom, i
and went through his usual formula,
i closing with the petition to have the wall
j topple over if he had done anything
j wrong. And we toppled it. Jumping
! out from under the stones the old man
; cried in tones of mingled disgust and
i alarm, 'Good gracious ! Oan't you tell
i when a man is joking " L

James Lynch was mayor of Gal way, pre
Ireland, in 1473. Ho had made several pirt
voyages to Spain, and on one occasion thai
brought home with him the son of a re- imp
spectable Spanish merchant, named neg
Gomez. Walter Lynch, the only son of prii
the mayor of Galway, was engaged to a mg
beautiful young lady of good family and thei
fortune. Preparatory to the nuptials autl
the mayor gave a splendid entertain- be

intended bride viewed his Spanish friend be
with too much regard. He accused his the
beloved Agnes of unfaithfulness to him, like

"Remember and Recollect."
" Remember and recollect" are used
interchangeably as if they were synonyms
and the preference seems to be most
generally given to the latter. But they
are not synonymous, and the distinction
between them is an important one,
which ought to be preserved. That 1
which lies in our memory at hand, ready
for use at any moment, we remember,
but we also really do remember much
that does not lie at hand, that we oajanot
find in our mind's storehouse on tke i
instant; and this we try to reoollect, that :
is, to re-oollect. Therefore, the expres- ;
sion, I don't remember, but I will try t? <
reoollect, is not only correct, but it sets
forth a condition of the mind expressible
in no other way, and to Bpeak of which ]
we have frequent necessity. The ability j
to do so will be impaired, if not alto- ]
gether lost, when the distinction between
the two words is done away.?Richard j
