When Earth's last picture is painted,
and the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colors have faded, and
the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need
it lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master of all Good Workmen
shall set us to work anew!
And those that were good shall be hap
py; they shall lit In a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten league can
ass with brushes cf comtt's hair;
They shall find real saints to draw from
-rHagdalene, Peter and Paul ;
They, shall work for an age at a sitting,
f and nsver get tired at all I -
And only the Master shall praise us,
and only the Master shall blame:
And no one shall work for money, and
1 no one shall work for fame :
But each for the ioy of the woraing,
and each In his separata star, i
Shall draw the Thing as he sees It, for
the God of Things as They Are! t
-Rudyard Kipling. ,
, Degrees of Honesty.
Purieti lometimet declare that
there are no degrees of honesty or
dishonesty; that there ie a sharp
line of demarcation, and that an
act must be either honest or dis
honest without any qualification.
This may be true as a matter of
theory, but in practice the world
finds it necessary to recognize de
grees of honesty or dishonesty. In
the interest of morality it would
perhape be best to recognize only
degrees of dishonesty. But the
man of affairs recognizes degrees
of honesty. He .knows men who
are honest only because they be
lieve it is the best policy ; he knows'
others who are honest because
they have never known temptation
to be otherwise, and he knows oth
ers the select few who are hon
est by instinct and who could not
be tempted to deal unfairly. If
we chose to de so, we can cass .the
latter as the only honest folk and
treat all the others as dishonest in
varying degrees, but it is just as
logical to recognize degrees of hon
esty. The man who is honest as a
mere matter of policy ie, of course,
not to be trusted, for he is liable at
any time to think that his interest
requires him to be dishonest, and
then there is nothing to hold him
to the truth. "The man whois hon
est because he has not been tempt
ed sufficienttly is also in the doubt
ful list,- for at any moment the
tempter may arrive with enough to
overcome his scruples. Strictly
speaking, therefore, the only hon
est man, notwithstanding this rec
ognition of degrees, is the man
who is honest by instinct and can
not be otherwise except by a sur
render of his own self-respect.
That is the kind of honesty to be
inculcated and cultivated. It is an
easy matter to persuade people not
to commit highway robbery or bur
glary. The fear of punishment; is
sufficient to deter them. They can
be pursuaded not to indulge in
swindling operations by showing
them that swindling does not pay
in the long run, good reputation
being necessary to success in busi
ness dealings. But their honesty
ought to result from some higher
sentiment than a desire for their
own welfare. It is never surely
grounded unless they are honest
because it is right to deal fairly
and because they cannot be con
tented in mind knowing that tbey
have done wrong to any man. It
is honesty of this kind that is
marked of clearly from the ob
scurest forms of. dishonesty, and
there may be in it no degrees, but
in the practical affairs of the world
the degrees are recognized, and one
man Is marked AI and another B2
as surely as in the reference books
of commercial agencies. The aim
of the young man should be to get
an Al reference from every person
with whom he has any dealings,
and this he can do only by setting
for himself a high Ideal to, which
he shall be true irrespective of any
temptations that may beset him or
any apparent advantage to be de
rived from an opposite course. Hs
own conscience must be his chief
guide. That being satisfied, he
can defy the world. Tosuch a
man there will, in truth, be no de;
grees of honesty. Every act will
be either right or wrong, and the
test will be his own sense of equity
and justice. But the world will,'
nevertheless, recognize that there
are degrees of honesty and of "dis
honesty; that some men can be
trusted: not to pick, one's pocket;
that others will deal fairly in busi
nees transactions, and that still
others can be relied upon to dis
charge a trust with perfect fidelity.
The degees will always exist, al
though there should be only one
ideal set before the young, that of
absolute honesty. Baltimore Sun.

tome great gambling out on the
Coast when they were getting to
much of the yellow metal but of
the California sands," remarked a
friend of Senator Stewart, of Ne
vada, who sat in a group at Cham
berlin't. -' . i V' i :. .:
Yes, there wat tome high-rolling
among the cportt in those days. I
looked on, but did not participate.
My first and only experience was
in San Francisco in the spring of
1850. I was a youngster, and had
wandered into a, retort called tbb
El Dorado, at Which all sorts of
garnet were in progress, and on he
tables'were piled up huge stacks of
gold and silver coin. I looked on,
at a green youth would, and was
attracted to a roulette wheel. A
miner was betting $100 at every
turn, and luck teemed to come hit
way. I didn't have much inoney,
but concluded I'd take a chance,
and ttarted in with a tilver quarter,
following every bet of the miner.
I ran this 25-cent piece up to $25,
and thbugb elated with my fortune,
obeyed the prompting of prudence
and quit. - j : L.
"At I went out of the place . I
heard an old gambler say the
tucker will be back inside of an
hour and lose it all.' That remark,
for all I knew, had a great influence
on my after career, for I not only
resolved not to go back, but never
to fight any game of chance in the
future. So-I quit gambling then
and there and kept my resolution.
In my time I have known many of
the biggest gamblers of the West.
Some of them I would trust in any
sort of way that men can be trust
ed, but very .few have 1 known who
ever saved anything out of the bus
iness.' v-. - j.
"The last time I was in Virginia
City one of the most honorable
members of the fraternity I ever
knew, a man who had been! worth
$500,000 at one time, toldlme he
was hungry and hadn't a cent to
buy bread. For the sake of old
acquaintance I relieved his neces
sities, but I thought of the time
when he cared no more for dollars
than if they were pennies." -Wash

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her
Little Daughter's Life j j

I am the mother of eight chil
dren and have had a great deal of
experience with medicines! Last
summer my little daughter had the
dysentery in its worst form. We
thought she would die. I tried
everything I could think of, but
nothing seemed to do her any good.
I saw by an advertisement ;in our
paper that Chamblerlain's! Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was highly recommended and sent
and got a bottle at once. Improved
tovbe one of the very best medicines
we ever had in the house. In saved
my little daughter's life. I am an
xious for every mother to know
what an excellent medicine it is.
Had I known it at first it would
have saved me a great deal of
axiety and my little daughter much
suffering. Your truly, Mrs. Geo.

Federation Now Assured.
New South Wales having voted
for federation, the success of the
movement for the. union of the
various colonies of Australasia is
now assured. All the colonies 'will
now, in accordance with their ar
rangement, unite to form ''the
United States of Australasia," with
one or two exceptions. New Zeal
and, will hold off for the present
and I also, perhaps, Western Aus
tralia, but ultimately all, it is believed,-
will join the union, in the
desire to obtain the advantages of
a more powerful government. The
constitution agreed upon for the
federation is modeled chiefly upon
that of the United Statea of North
America.

The attempt to prove by insinua
tion that Admiral Schley was guilty
of cowardice at the battle of Santi
ago and tried to get out of the way
of the Spanish ships is best met by
what may be called dumb evidence.
His vessel, the Brooklyn, was bit
oftener by Spanish shot than were
all the other war ships of the Amer
ican fleet combined ; and the Span-,
ish vessels were'bit oftener by the
Brooklyn than by any other of our,
ships engaged. The Brooklyn was
in the fight from the beginning to
the finish. Her honorable scars
are Admiral Schley's vindication.
