In a street of Glasgow city. Full of children at their play, Stooped a woman, and then something, In her apron hid away. From the poor, plain gown, her station, At a glance could be descried, : But her face, despite its sweetness, Told of honest Scottish pride. Then a guardian of the public, Sure some precious thing she'd found, ' . Bade her halt, and show the treasure She had picked up from the ground. When her apron wide she opened He beheld a shining mass, - But no gold nor gems there glittered It was only broken glass. To the question stern, 'What value In sic-hke things do ye see, To tak' them, thus?" came the answer, Full of sweet simplicity. When I saw the bonnie bairnies, Rinnin' barefit i' the street The bits o' glass I lifted, fearin' They might hurt the puir wee feet. O for more such Christlike spirit, More such hearts with love replete, Then all stumbling-blocks might van- ' ish That would "hurt the bairnies' feet." Cincinnati Paper. Hake the Best of Life. Selected. . . A sunny temperament makes a hap py contented person, and there are thousands whopo3sesses the precious gem of a good disposition, but will make no effort to let it shine, and it is permitted to rust and . ruin. Many men and women make life miserable to all around them by refusing to accept the best. It is so inconsis tent to complain of one's condition and make no effort to better it ; com plaining of having no neighbors or friends when deserving any. It is as tonishing to look over this broad land and see the number of people who lack employment and the necessaries of life sitting m idleness because the work and price offered does not "just suit ; this class of people are numbered with trie croakers that are always crying "hard times." We have no sympathy for these pepple,1for their hard times are due to their own idleness and false ' pride. Honor is due the man. matter . what his ability or educa tion may be, who will saw a cord of wood and earn his honest meal, rather than cat the bread another man has earned. People often become displeased with the whole world because a friend has been more fortunate when no doubt that friend's success is due to his de termination and energy. Don't think your-friend the meanest person living if vou don't succeed - in - making the most out of him ; but accept him at his best. and. look always at his high est qualities. ' ; Live for something, make better j-our hard life, by seeking the best m all things, and contribute to the happiness of others by not com plaining.' ones station in Iile is m humble, but, y that some useful place can -be found and many opportu nities are afforded ior doing good. We cannot all rue to high positions, but be noble and happy with decision of character and resolution of purpose. idleness has been the rum of . many young people. It is a degradation, to spend time in idleness, trusting to chance lor some luck that will benefit in the future. Time is valuable : if out of employment, self-improvement should be kept up and the mind en riched for the work that is to do. Do not hate the common work-a-day life ; for "Out of the warp and woof of com mon daily life, can be woven a noble and useful life as any life must be which is a psalm of cheerful labor 'and obedience . set - always to : one grand note." - .

O., THURSDAY, TSt CCLD D 22173 OLVni D Then Wxj Ctaxra Th Fredous ef tea The following is the concluding por tion of Senator Bate's speech on Mon day, which was listened to with mark ed attention: Gold is a hard, narrow, cruel corren- cey. it is cowardly and flees from dan iter and generous duty. It does not, like silver and paper standard, defy the invading enemy, but seeks conceal ment and the protection of the miser's coffers. .It responds not to thedemands of charity and kindly .officers of friend ship. It seems to realize its value and its beauty. It knows when they are in danger and scents it from afar and runs at once to cover. It gravitates at once to the hands of the narrow, severe, un- creative, and soulless. . From it in no age has flowed generosity, self-denial or heroism. There is in gold a singu lar fascination for all the most vicious passions that generate secret and ma lignant crimes. It seeks power and place from ;;which it can oppress and grind the toiling millions. It Is the inspiration of the pride and glory of wealth and power. It is the ornament oi monarens and servant ol their ambition and intrigues. It is the dame that tempers the assassin's steel, the light that directs the ship ol the corsair, the fountain from which flows the daring and courage of the pit iless pirate. - The demands of friend ship and patriotifm it neither hears nor heeds. When rugged war raises its baleful banner and the invading foe menaces the safety and repose of the country, it seeks the strong box of the miser or the coffers of the timid and prudent. In peace it decks the gaudy trappings of princes and potentates that roll in splendor along the public hign ways. It glitters in dazzling radiance from the gay women that glide in grace amid the camps and courts ol kings and emperors, indifferent as to whether it gilds the person of a Man or a Borgia. The cottage of the hum ble it disdainfully shuns, and responds not to the cry of the inmates for bread though the creatures of their toil and skill. jf" " ;) " Uold is the weapon that conquers where the baybnet and the sword, though inspired by the stoutest hearts and wielded by the strongest arms, can not go. It Invades the ..heart and steals the fidelity and vigilance of the guards ; against its fascinating encroach ments the strongest mail and the most solid fortifications cannot prevail. Its gleaming luster -pierces the granite wall and unbars the firmest gates. It is as heartless as the poison of the dead liest drug. Neither innocence, youth, age, nor sex is any protection against ito stealthy attack. Before its secret and insinuating power how often all that Is loved, all that is sacred, all hon or, all pity, virtue, love and duty go down.-' .?..': Gold is m striking contrast with sil ver, with which it slept so long m warm embrace in their mountain bed and walked on different though paral lel lines through all the various phrases that humanity has shown in its march from barbarism to civilization, from simplest barter to highest form of com mercial exchange. Silver has been the champion of man in all his aspirations . . - . .- . . from his humble cottage, making his way to new and more inviting homes in search of a greater . good and larger ability. - ; It has . never deserted or shunned him in . his 'long, toilsome struggle for life amid danger and trials. In the cabin in the far-off frontiers of settlement, in the busy'lbity, on the fertile plains and . the snow covered mountains it has been his never-failing help-mate. No privations deterred it, no enemies drove it from hla presence. Silver Is the friend of poverty ancL the handmaid, of charity. It has equal beauty with its more pretentious yellow rival ; its whiteness sugsis the purity and sanctity of th faithful. It is the ngbt erysts&sd. in th: earth, evoked by 'tiz3 tfea U OUR UOTTO. garnered labor of workers who saved morsel from eacn day's fruit, which ' - - - - m .

If gold is king, silver is queen then let the king and queen of the precious metals reign together with equal rights and equal powers in the realms of finance and traifo.
