The orphan child Id a home of plenty of iliix world's goo If, was the object of tender care. It was their highem pleasure to advance her interest aud to promote her happiness, and her greatest wish was to IIvb that she might make manifest her own desire to show her gratitude aad appreciation of those who had done so much for her. Miss Hutchison was burled In Buffalo church yard beside Mr. Brltt, who proceded her to the grave twelve years.and where Mrs. Britt expects some day to rest.

Looking back is more than we can sustain without goiDg back. Nothing shows our weakness more than to be so sharpsighted at spying other men's faults and so purblind aboutourown. . . Tbe excitement of sadnets on earth * is a very tame affair compared with the excitement of gladness in Heaven. This is the first truth of all, that we are not our own, but Christ's. The , whole life of the Christian retts on this. Patience is the ballast of the soul that will keep it from rolliug and , ' tumbling in the greatest storm. Troubles are sometimes like quicksands, the moreone flounders the deeper down one sinks. The New Jerusalem is not here; it . never will be here. It is the golden future, which we never can quite overtake. What would happen if everyooay would begin to-morrow to beep all Lis promises and fulfill alljhis engagements Doing good Is the only certainly happy action of a man's life. All the world's a staircase on which all men go either up or down. Unless you have faith in your ability you can never win a battla. Of all the evil spirits abroad in the world insincerity is the most dangerOUS. It is better to take the worst of a deal than to suffer the cousequencei of a quarrel. It is good for us that we have here no continuing city. It is the looking for one to come that saves us from 7 indolence and decay. ' '' . . .. Couuterfeits. During the past decade strange people have moved to some of the quiet places of the far south aud Brandle county has had its share of them. As a rule they brought northern energy into lazy neighborhoods, jaud they prospered accordingly, getI ting good livings where nature was kind, and laying up something for rai ny days. Brandle is also the name of the county seat, one of the delightful old towns where it is always afternoon except when asleep at night. But tor a whole hour one day it woke up. Johu Heath was the State's attorney. He was a young man who had inherited the oilice and the wealth of his uncle, old Judge Bodge". Heath was looking at the world | American fashion over the toes of his ooots auu onerin xom .rnce came iu and asked if there wasanythiug uew. "Mow, sherifl," wus the reply, "why ask that ? You know the only thing that goes ou in thi? office is the clock." "Same down my way. I'm thinking of hiring somebody to commit a crime so as to have company." Just then a curious-looking person, medium in height, shoulders bent, hair gray almost to whiteness, face wrinkled and yellowish, entered almost ou a run. "My name is Faith?William Faith" he said. "Used to live iu Wisconsin, but daughter's health was bad and I looked for a warmer climate and moved down here. You're the law officer, ain't you ? Yes. Well, 1 bought a small place about five miles out of town for $2000, paid $1000 down and gave a mortgage. A month ago I got the rest of my money from Wisconsin and I put it iu the baak here. Day betore yesterday three men came along and wauted to buy the place?offered me $3000 if I could show I was able to pay the mortgage off. So I came to town yesterday and got the money, and this morning we struck the bargain aud they counted out their cash and I counted out mine and they put it all in a box and sealed it aud give it to my daughter Matilda to keep until to-morrow, but after they left we got kinder curious and?" "You opened the box and found nothing but paper" interrupted Heath. "Old man. vou have been buncoed? swiudled."" Mr. Faith fell back in his cbair as if in a taint, but suddenly he jumpped up, exclamiug, "There they go, nuw! There tbey go, now!" aud tore out of the oltice after thein, the sherilt and Health following aud all shouting at three men iu a wagon. Tbe men evidently did not know exactly what to do. Apparently they first meditated tight, but when they saw Sheriff Price draw from the recesses of his wardrobe an ugly looking gun, discretion made them ha t, anu where tne team slopped was almost in front of the Brandle baun. At that moment the excitment was greatly intended by the appearance of a flaxen haired, blue-eyed and altogether attractive youug woman, whg was cryiug hysterically aud asking her father if they would get back their money. One of the three men in the wagon jumped down and asked Mr. Faith if ne would talk the matter over privately. He invited Mr. Faith into the bank, and with perfect sangfroid asked the cashier if they might use the private room for a few minute.*. Miss Faith insisted on accompanying her father, and when he said it was not necessary she replied, with MAUI U V/\i*Nm ak f,\s\ 1 j^ICai IClllpCii ll/u vc iuauu a iwi of yourself once to?day, and you shan't do it again if I can help it." After the iuterview, which lasted less than ten minutes, Mr. Faith came out with his daughter close behind nim. When he started for the door she grabbed him by the coat and said: "JNo, you don't. Put the money back in the bank?every cent of it. Dou't go out with it, or you'll lose it again." The old man acted as if dazeu, but did as he was bid, and shoved through the grating 10 new one-hundred-dollar note-. The cashier looked at them sharply, then put them under a microscope, and finally said: "I don't like this new money, it uiay be counterfeit." "They're the bills we got from you," said the well dressed man, speaking to Mr. Faith. "That's a lie," was the response. "I gave you the ones I got from the bank, and you know those weren't the ones," addressing the cashier. The cashier corroborated him. The well-dressed man seemed knocked out and called his associates in. There was a hurried conference and they asked to have another conference with Mr. Faith. 11 was crranted. auri tbe young ludy again mood by lier father, to the manifest admiration of (be gathered population. She came out with him and steered him straight to the cashier's desk and another pile of notes was pushed through the grating. "This is the money I paid out to you yesterday, " was the comment of cashier, whom theexcitment was makiug so nervous that lie had to say something or faint. "That's right, " said Mr. Faith. "And you can give tbat o'her stuff back to the men. I only want my own and I feel pretty low down ashamed for making sucn a fool of myself." Here Heath and the sheriff, who had been watching the proceenings and had kept a faithful eye upon the three men, came forward. "You are ready now to swear out a a warrant against these men," said Heath to Mr. Faith. "Father" said the girl, "don't you do another thing, but come right home with me." " But," said Heath, "we must have something toarrest these men for?we must have his complaint." "I dont't waul nothing else to do with'em," replied Mr. Faith, with emphasis. In vain did Heath aud the sheriff try to stoD him. life had all he wanted, his money was safe in the bank and he was not going to oother with anything or anybody any longer. Heath told the sheriff to watch the men while he had a talk with the 'caah'er. "Can you swear that these notes are counterfeit?" he asked. The cashier paused, looked, flushed and stammered. His Keif-possession was gone. "I suspect they are," he said, "but I could'nt swear to it. I 'really don't know. I ?1" and he broke down. "Then you don't know whether 1 they are or not ?" I And to this he gave a reluctant. "No." When the spokesman found how ' things were going he simply walked to the cashier and asked for the return of the money, and no one could keep him from gettiug it. Then, with a bow to thealtoney and the sheriff, he said: "Gentlemen, as you have nothing agaiust us, I trust you will permit us to resume our journey," and with set faces they drove off. Heath and the sheriff held many quiet conferences in the old office, still be moaning the quietude of th county, but finding material for eud! less speculation in Mr. Faith's ex per: ience, and they wondred what had become of the Faiths, lor the old mau sold out and moved away soon after | the affair. But a month later an unsigned ! letter came to Heath from New York city. The writing was evidently disguised and there was nothing on it tnat could possibly lead to the identity of tbe writer. It ran: "My Dear Sir?Some things are too good to keep.' We got busted iu Plnrirlfl hwinntr run nn Homtnat- if I *"f-> ' "f *> ?v?u I hard down there, and we started on a buncoing expedition toward New York, living off the country, like soldiers, as we traveled and we had mighty good luck until we reached I your heathenish land. "There we found William Faith? the saints protect that name!?and lie seemed about the easiest thing we bad ever run across. We did him up In our best manner, and that yellowhaired angel beamed upon us like a heavenly vision. "But O, what a difference in the morning! That old sinner cau give us all cards and then beat the baud. He shoved those counterfeits on us and he had us. It took all we bad gathered from the whole trip to make up the thousaud, and even then if that cashier had known beans from watermelons we would have been your guests on the charge of counterfeiting. "But the slickest trick all was the i tx: ? ^.? A u ~ way lie iii'jjiittujijlieu ujc iuuupuiju we handed over and then handed into the bank the thousand he had drawn the day before. O, he is a jewel!" But of course this was not evidence, audevenifit were, nobody to this day knows where the alleged William Faith and the flaxen-haired daugnter have gone.

I SAID IN SHOBT WORDS. 'M A Slrontt Talk lii Monosyllables Mad? , By an Oblo Jinn. , Iu these day9 of turgid eloquence, ^ which public speakers seem to vie with ' oue another to see how many triple jointed words they can lug Intel a speech and seem to scorn the strength and beauty of short words, an address de- ?? liverea many years ago by A. P. Edgk erton, of Obio, has peculiar weight and : ri 1 is an eloquent argument iu favor of ' short, direct methods of speech. Mr. , ^ Edgerton served in congress pnd was civil service commissioner under President Cleveland. The address was de- . ? | livered in 18S2 at the commencement of the Fort Wayne high school, in Indiana, and, while it was impromptu, > 5| and not at all a studied effort at monosyllable diction, each of the words con* tains a monosyllable. Not only that, ' but as an oratorical effort it ranks high. "~3 The address is as follows : " ' liilS Utt^r wo WU8C kvi iuo vcai tuo v-1 Fort Wayne free schools, and'we now . part with you, the girls and -boys we are no more to teach. "I say girls and boys, for when ' ? threescore and ten years have come to you you will be glad to have your - '$> c friends say that health and peace of JS mind have kept your hearts warm ; that you wear no brow of gloom, are not borne down with age; but still, in .*? heart, are 'girls and boys.' When three-sore years come, and I hope they will come to all, the tide oftimewiu y rollback and tell you of your school-'// time days, when the fair, the kind and ^ the true found love; but the false r heart found no friend, no tongue to ;NiH praise. These days bring rich gifts to age, and when you shall cease to think i of them vour fire has burned low and your light has gone out. You have / been here taught in the hope that the I free schools of Fort Wayne would help to make you of use to your friends and k to the world, would give you faith in I all that is good and true and lead you' to seek worn, for that you must seek and do if you would have a gdod name, wealth, a home, a charge to keep or a trust to serve. Go forth with a bold, i true heart to seek the work for you to do. "Keep in your mind that the hours to work run through each day and ' that God's great law of life is, 'In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread.' "Now, for you,young man,this truth t is told. i "Go where you will through the ] world and you will find on the front door of shop9 and mills, of stores and | . banks, aud on ships, on farms, on roads, in deep mines where men toil for wealth ; where laws are made that make some men too rich and men of worth and work through all our land too poor; where men by law are taught to plot with sin, to spurn the right, e that charge and cost and spoil may make old 'Quirk's' law firms rich ; where law is so plead that the judge b must guess to find what's law ; where x I quacks most fight o'er sick men's pain 0 and dead men's bones; where types are set and none to mind the proofs ; [ where priests do preach and pray and f where schools are taught this sign, . 'Brains Will Find Work Here.' J Dont fear. 8tep up and ask for work; brains will get it. Don't let I dare not wait on 'I woflld'?like the cat that loves fi9h; but dares not wet her foot. If it be said, 'what can you do? will you learn a trade?" say, 'I have none; T no n loam rtrta onH r.nf hrohia In UUl JL VUV ? it.' Wheu you go to a place where t brains should hunt for work and be sure to find it, it uiay be said to you. 'Do you see tbat plow? Can you Bold and drive ^it deep?; That plow in its wise use, gives all men food. "Do you see that wheet and that - crank and those shafts and that press, and do you hear the rush and the hiss of the steam which moves tbem ? Can you make and hold and run them? Can you build and drive the works ; and wheels which make the wealth of the earth and cause it to roll and to float to and fro from place to place, 1 where it is the best man to use it ? "Can you spin the threads and I weave it which makes robes for kings and silks for the rich and vain, and . dress for the poor and all tbat skill and > art have wrought by loom and hand lor niau s u?c ; . 5 "These things are all shot through j with threads of light?the light of mind and art and skill which shines each day more bright and dims all the old hy some new found light as the years go on." | If you have a good watch and want It re ; paired so it will keep time, you know the i heat la always the cheapest. Mr. bernau only ! keeps the best materials. Jewels and main, springs, and as ho does not chsrSQ any more ; than any one else for same amount of work, the cheapest in the long run will be to glv? him your watoh for repairs. . * * ' 1
