The letter proceeds: "This, of course, is not intended to be put' within' the knowledge or the masses, for you, as a business man, well know that in any organisation, from a bank dOwn to a railroad corporation Uleto is much pertaining to the worSing of tho enterprises not known to the piblic, and which belongs exclusively to the officers plicit, lot me remind you that all annual dues from sucn'the masses' who become members at the rates shown by the printed leaflets I left you will create a fund , for the payment of the Incorporators. which, as a matter of course, wiU pay under the names of salaries of officers and directors.

I was considerably surprised to learn afterward that be was calling at (he house, and more surprised still when the lady, accompanied by the gentleman, called at the store three months later. . She called him "dear" then, so I guess they were married.

' Not A shamed to Work. An eloquent divine on Sunday drew one of the most important lessons from the life of General Garfield, for the consideration of young men from the sentiment, "He was not ashamed to work. " It underlies ; all the grand structure of his life. He did not sit idly on the street corners and cry cut for mora wages and, lower hours, and refuse to labor unless his demands were met. Whether it was the pittance of $8.00. per month on the canal, a slender income as a teacher in a log school house, or a generous allowance as a General o( the army or a Legislator, he was at all times earnest and diligen t. The greatest failure in life is the mglect of small things. Young men are too apt to despise them,, or pass them as trivial and beneath their capacity. Men have had "greatness thrust upon lhem, but no man or men ever carved their own way to a place by the side of the intellectual peers of earth, who nelectedc little

The father s ized Che child and tore t he snake from his hands. The snake was of the black: species, and might have wound its body around the boy and choked him sJjo death.
