There is u certain bird, devoid <1 beauty, with which everyone is f.uni liar. It is loathed by everyone; 1 never oings; i-s foul and unclean in it habits ; feeds oo the filthy garbage an refuse of the earth. It is derpiscd an detested rot only by human beiur but even creatures of its kind lor ye severely alone, and meet any * rjemj advances it may make with. (ightii and cries of detestation. This bird sk<ms ov the most beautiful landscapes, hit valleys or mountain peaks with no a llop aud then a sai l, perfectly obli ious to all of the beauties of natn and the scenes that would hold otln eyes entranced. See it as it hovers i the shimmering sunlight of the in heavens! surely it is not unmindful < the beauties and glories of crea'iot Surely one gifted with such powers ? vision and locomotion must revel i an aesthetic existence! But no, as sailp oil, its eyes nre not seeking f< beauty; it is unacquainted with the t spMisive throb of ??...? t ? j"j inui; ucuu.y an truth awakens in others. There com? a sudden change. The eye erewhii so seemingly blind, suddenly, in son: isolated nook or valley spies a piece < carion, it hovers on even wing for moment and then darts upon its pre with a gusto and a relish that is pos tivelj' sieket.ing to decency There is no need of my naming th bird. It will be instantly re cognize by everyone, from the chief el nractei istic of passing over the good, the pur and the beautiful, to feast upon tli liltli ot the world, and to toll audi ut der its tongue as a a wee I morsel. How ever detestable and obnoxious th bird may be, it lias its couuterpa; among human beings. There are people actually more t be detested.and more to be avoide than the vulture. They have th same tastes in 'heir mental and pliys ual constitutions that it has in it physical. They, also, exlnb't a di pravity of soul and intellect thsti positively shocking to a milid that i wgil balanced and that is marked by feeling of compassion foi the short I ' -?

Such a nnm? no ?? ? - .... 1< c Wl'l ??l lei meet wiill, such a one as delights ii picking to pieces reputations and cliar acters. Instead of hunting for tli genius of ti it h, tisefiillness. and men la I and spiritual bounty in uiuuk'ni and trying to nj build it by enco.ir ( uging and strengthening it, such one not only fail to give one credit for ef forts at rigbt-livmg and n-piratiom toward nobility of soul, but they tak< a sickening delight i.i laying ban btiman weakne-s, and after stripping oil all coverings, of bo'ding them u| to the scorn and unsympathetic gazt of a, too often, uncharitable public. The ti rin gossip is usually applied It one whose chief delight is in gadding about and attending to everyone else's business except bis or her own; it ha: especial reference to bini who isal ways on the look out for motes in th ? moral and intellectual eyes of his neighbors while at the same time he is b aring around and prodding people with beams in his own eyes us large astelegrapli poles. The gossip usually possesses the tendency to talk over all of the little, dirty and trivial occurences of the whole community as well aall of the small talk and rumors that usually pervade the social atmosphere of a usual community or small town. There are two distinct clarses of gossips or busy-bodies. First, those whose mental talibreare so small that it is impossible l\?r them to engage in convocation upon topies of usefullness and importance. Tneir mental horizons are so limited that the range if topiisut tl.eir command is, routined to the small a Hairs of tln-ir neighbors buck yatds. 'I bey are ineapuble of inlellccl and sensible conversation hence they ore coiupellt d t . rel.asli anil | eddle out t be vei bal garbage and iiluse 1111,1 bad belli r In* left in tlie ash heap* ol society. We Imve i.o word of r ensure l? r hi.< |i; they cannot lulp themselves.

V\ e don't blame jou; we pity you, ami from the bottom of our hearts you have our most hiii cere commhsfiations. * The second class of gossips exerts a more baneful n.Iliience upon socie'y. They are those w lio bax e mental capabilities, hut have protected them in the many direction. They are those persons who willfully and maliciously circulate false reports up ui their lelh w creatures, hoping to acquire some | ersonal benefit hy so doing. The motives lor such adieus are too often peisonal selfishness, spite, or revi Mge. Such a i haraeti r often limes lays hold upon innoeeiit persons with its tilth) talons ami trys t>y means of lies, ii.so.out ions and false suggestions to besmirch, truth, innocence and virtue itself. These persons work underliHiuledly. They are moral as well as physical cowwurds, afraid to as * ? ??miM?p?????it sume the responsibility of their words, go they work, not by direct statement j but by dark insinuations. All of us ? know too well how gueh methods work. " - i Reports thus started can never be overtaken. The farther they go the f larger they grow, until reputation " is gone, and character gives away beneath the unjust strain. This class f of gossips is to be feared and fought t . by all people who have regard for j truth and decency. Such people are 1 r not lit to ass iciute with ? respec- ! tability, their pi oper sphere is with tb" jackals and hyenas of the dese*"' the vultures of the air.

Durinp the closing hours of the sessions Senator llanos was poinp about rubbing Ins hand, and asking rthe Senators if any 1 u.'iifvtu uiai uiermiueub iiau uutuuiplished anything by "keeping ; the Senate in after school". Mr Hanna was overjoyed because tlie 1 President's purpose of putting the provision" of the Cuban treaty into immediute effect had been defeated. V Senator Morgan iiih in tuned his attitude of hostility to the Colombian i Canal treaty, as framed, to the last aad closed the debate tor the opposition with a remarkably strong and lucid speech outlining the weakness of the , convention. Senator Morgan has , made a reinarki.ble and a sincere fight against the treaty. Appreciating that his posit on was unpopular he disregarded all consideration of personul glory and overlooked all criticism, lighting almost single handed a great battle. Four senators voted with him against the treaty although four others were paired against it. Those voting nay were Morgan, Pettus, Dan- , iel, Martin and Teller and tho'e paired against the agreement were Senators Culberson, Dubois, McLauriu and j Money. The very limited influence which the P.esldcnt exerts in the Senate was , again demonstrated at the special sessions when two nominations in which he was specially interested failed of confirmation.

V I THE- ENGINEER. Ie I-cads a lonely Ufe?Tlie Great Responsibility Upon lluu. Probably most person.-) who have ( traveled at night by rail have hud their thought* turind to linn who, *t a tiding with hand upon the throttle lever of the engine, watches between ( them and dentil. Often, w lien the Q glit has been h.ack and boisterous with angry storm*, or cold nod deso- i late in mid winter, we have lain down in our snug berth listening to the clatter of tne swiftly-moving train with a sense of security, because we knew there was one standing in tho cab watching with vigilant eye againil dinger. There hi g ize* out along the track, conscious that liuiidrtds <>t lives are entrusted to his care, that these hundreds of sleeping pissengers Ere resting calmly in the conviction mai ne win not tail 111 duty. I hey are all Strangers to him. At tlii stations while the tram waits lor passengers to take their meals, none of ilieni thinks it worth while to speak to him. Tneyaie going--somew hare, riiey are?who knows even their naniesV The conductor, the biakcinen and the porters are brought more or less in contact with them, and they learn something of each other; there is a little mutual fellowship at least. But the engine.driver stands apart, llis face is begrimed with soot, his clothes soiled with grease, and his hands hard and unseemly. On the road, alter a long night of travel, lie is not an object of preposessing apperance . And yet this man. through all that night, lias had the guardianship of hundreds of lives and faithfully performed his work. Sober, cool and vigilant, he has brought Ins charge to the end uf the journey in safety. 'The traveleis scatter to their homes or pass to other [ scenes, praising the railroad company | for the adui'iable system of tneir road \ and the comfortable acoiiunodation.afforded, white perhaps none gives a thought to the engineer, whose faith- I iullness guarded them from accident j and deat h.
