FOE FATHER'S HONOR. "Ra much gone! I miglit have known how it tn'oiiIiI he!" .saiil Jlr. ¦Sleiling, looking np from a inorning paper, villi a most unpleasant exines- .sion on his faee. " "What h.is gono?" asked the wife. " My money is gone?" answered Mr. Sterling. " That money I r.'as foolish enough (o lend air. Granger." "Whj- do you s.iy that?" " He's dead," replied Mr. Sterling, coldly. " Dead!" The •ivife's voice was fnll of surprise and pain. .SorroM- over- .shadowed her faee. "Yes, goue, and my money wilh him. Here'snoticeof his death. I -was sure ¦when I saw him go away that he'd never come hack exeept in liis coftin. "Why will doctors -send their jiatients away from home to die!" "Poor Mrs. Granger! Poor little orphans:" sighod Mrs. Stirling. "What ¦vviUtheydbt"-, " " As'.^lteUWtfed'ut hira ns with him," •wasUieonfteltog aJBwcr of her hus¬ band, who \V0^I^ thinking of the three huiitjjrcd djlpars ho had beeu per¬ suaded to loan the sick clergj-man, in order that he might go South during the winter. " He'sbeen more of a bur¬ den than a support to thenfthese two J'ears." "Oh, Harvey! How ean you speak so ?" remonstriited Jlrs. Sterling, "A kinder man in his faniily was never seen. Poor Mrs. Granger! She will be heartbroken." " Kindness is cheap and is easit^ dis¬ pensed," coldly; jeplied Jlr. Sterling. He .wowld fiia^iJ^'fen of more use to his Qy if he had fed and clothed them &&» I reckon thej' can do without liim. If I had three hundred dollars, I wouldn't—" But he checked for shame—not for feelings—the almost brut.il words his heart sent up to his tougue. Not many hundred yards away from Mr. Sterliug's handsome residence stood a small, plain cottage, with a garden in frontueatlj'laid out in box- boarded walks and lilled with shrub- berrj-. A honey-suekle, twined with a running rose bush, covered the latticed portico, and looked in at the chamber windows giving beauty and sweetness. The haud of taste was seen every¬ where—not lavish, but discriminate taste. Two ye.irs befoie there was not a happier home thau this in all the pleasant town of C -. Now the shad¬ ow of death was upon it. Poor Mrs. Granger! Poor little or¬ phaus ! Well might Jlrs. Sterling pity them. Wliile her mercenary husband •was sighing over the loss of tliree hun¬ dred dollars, the j'oung widow lay senseless -with her two little children weeping over her in childish terror. The news of death found her unprepa¬ red. Only a week before she had re¬ ceived a letter from iir. Granger, in which he talked hopefully of hia recov¬ erj-. "I am stronger, "he said: "Ihave gained five pounds iu flesh since I lelt home." Three days after writing this letter there oame ai sudden change of temperature; he took cold, whloU waa followed by congestion of the lungs; and no medical skill was sufiieient for the case. His body was not sent home for interment. When the husband and father went aw.iy two or three mouths before, his loved ones looked upon his face for the hist time in this world. Ijove andhonormake the heart strong. Mrs. Granger was a gentle, trusting woman. She had leaned upou her hus¬ baud very heavilj-; she had clung to him as a vine, Tliose who kuew her best felt most anxious about her. " ,Slie oannot stand aloue," IJut thej" were niistaken. As wo have jnst said, love and honor make the heart strong. Onlj- a M'cek after Mr. Starling had read o'r the j'oiing miui.s- tur'a death, he received a note from the widow. "My husband," shesaid, " was ena¬ bled to go South in hopes ot regaining his health, through j'our kindness. If ho had lived, tha money you loaned him would have been faithfully return¬ ed, for he was a man of honor. Dj-lug he left that honor in my keening, and I will see tljet the debt is puid. IJutyou will have to be 1^ little patient \vith me." " AU very liiie," muttered Mr. Ster- ing, with a slight curling lip, "I've leard of such tilings before. They sound M-ell. People will saj- of Mrs. Granger, 'what a noblo womau! what a line sense of honor she ha..i!' but I shall never see the three huudred dol- la'fB t W!is foolish enough tp lend her jiusband." Very much to Jfr. Sterling's surprise, .and not a little to his pleasure, ho dis¬ covered about three mouths afterwards that he was nnstalfeii iu his estimate of Jfrs. Griniger. 'fhe pale, sad, fragile little woiiiau broiight liiln the sum of twenty-five dollars. He did not see the ieqrs in her eyes as he displayed her luiabaud's note, with his dear familiar writing, and made thereon, with con- (iidorable formality, an endorsement of the anm paid. She would have given many drops of her heart's blood to have been able to clutch the document from Jlr. Sterling's hands. It seemed like a blot on the dear lost one's memory. " Katie Granger is the queerest little girl I ever knew," said Flora Tomple to her mother on the evening of the vory day the lirst payment was mado. Jlr. Sterling heard the remark, and let¬ ting his eyes drop from the newspaper ho was reading, turued his ears to lis¬ ten. " I think her a very nice little girl," leplied the mother. " Soulie is nice," returned the child, " but then she isso queer. Oh, she isn't like the rest of the girls. She said the oddest thing to-day. I almost laughed out: but I'm glad I flidn't. Three of us, Katie, Lillie Bonfleld and I were walkinground the square at recess time, when uncle Hiram came along, aud ta- . king out three bright ten cent pieces, he said: ' here's a dime for each of you girls to buy sugar plums.' Lillie and I screamed out, aud started away for tlie caudj--8hop in an instant; but Katie stood still with her shore of the money m her hand. 'Come along!" I cried, hhe aldn'tmove,but looked strange and serious. ' Aren't you going to buy some candy wifh it?' I asked. Then she shook her head gravely and put the dime in her pocket, saying (I don't think she meant me to hear her words) — It s for father's honor ;' and leaving u3,;wenthacktotUeschoilroom. "What I did slie mean by that, mother 1 Oh, she is so queer!" " Hermotheris very poor, youknow," replied Mrs. Sterling, laying up Katie's remark to be pondered over. "She must De strange," said Flora, " for she's worn the same frock to school for 'most three months." Mr. Sterling, who did not let a single word ofthis conversation, escape him, was far from feeling as comfortablo un¬ der the prospect of getting back the money he had loaned Jlr. Granger, as he had felt an hour hefore. He under¬ stood the meaning of Katie's remark, " It's for father's honor ;" the truth flashed at once through his mind.. There was another period of three months, and then Jlrs. Granger called again on Mr. Sterling and gave him twenty-iive dollars more. The pale, thin face made a stronger Impression uponhim. It troubled him to lift the money in her small fingers. In which the blue veius shone through the transparent skin, as she counted it out. He wished she had sent the mon¬ ey instead of calling. It was on his lips to remark, "Do not trouble or pinch j-ourself to pay faster than is conveni¬ ent, Jlrs, Granger," but cupidity whis¬ pered that she might take advantage of his kindness so he kept silent. " No, dear, it's for father's honor. I cannot spend the monej-." Jtr. Sterling was passiu" a fruitsliop, where two children were looking in at the window, Wheu this senteuce struck upou his ears. " Au apple won't cost but a penny, Katie; and I want one so badlj'," au¬ swercd the younger ofthe two children, a little gill not five years of age. " Come away, JIaggie," said the oth¬ er, drawing hcr sister back from the window. " Don't look at them auj- more—dout think about them." " But I can't help thinking about them, Katie," pleaded the cliilu. It was more thau Jfr. Sterling could stand. Every want of his own children was supplied. He bought fruit by the barrel. Aud here wa.s a little child pleading for an apple which cost only a cent; bnt the peimj' must bo saved to make good the dead father's honor. Who held that honor in iiledge ? Who took the sum total of those pcnuies, saved in theself-denialof littleeliildren, aud added tbem to his already brim¬ ming coffers ? A feeling of shame burst upou the cheek of Jlr. Sterling. " Hero Uttle oues !" he called, as the two children went slowlj' awaj' from the fruil shop window. He was touch¬ ed with thc sober look on their j;oung faces as thej- turned at liis invitation. " Come," repeated Mr. Sterling, speak¬ ing very kindly. The children then followed him into the shop, and he filled their aprons with apples and oranges. Their thank¬ ful ej-cs iind happy faces were in his memorj' all daj'. This was his reward, and it was sweet. Three months more, and again Mr. .Sterling had avisitfrom tho palo j'oung widow. This time she had only twentj' dollars. It was all she had been able to save, she said; butshe made no excuse and uttered no complaint. Jlr. Sterling took 14)C.monej- and counted it overiu a hesitating wa.v. The touch thereof was iileasaut to his fingers, for lie loved tlie monej-. But the vision of sober child faces was before his ej-es, and the sound of pleading child voices in his ears. Through over-taxing toil, and the de¬ nial of lier.5elf aud little ones, the poor widow had gathered this .small sum, and was now paying it into his hands, to mako good the honorable contract of her dead husband. He hesitated, ruf¬ fling in a half absent way the edges of the little pile of bills that lay under his fingers. One tiling was clear to him; ho would never take anything more from the widow. The bahmce of the debt must be forgiven. People would get to un¬ derstand tiic widow's case, they w-ould hear of self-denial and that Of uer chil¬ dren in order to paj' the husband's and father's debt, iu order ta Keep jftire his honor; and thej-would ask, naturally, who was the ex.icting ereditor ? ^tiis thought aflTected him^uimlfassnHy. ' Slowlj?;""*'^h'3 lljL-wIiose^'nd-debate still went on, Jlr. Sterling took from his desk a large pocket-hook, aud se¬ lected from one of the compartments a note on which . Jlrs. Granger had now made three paj'ments. For some mo- uients he held it in his hands looking at the faee thereof. He saw writteu iu clear figures tbo sum of$30'J. Seventy of this had been paid. If he gave up or destroyed the slip of paper he would lose two hundred and thirty dollars. It was something of a trial for one who loved monej' so well to come up square¬ ly to this issue. Something fell in be¬ tween his eyes and the note of hand. He did not see the writiug and figures of the obligation, but a sad, pleading little face, and with the vision of this fiice came to his ears the sentence: " No, dear, it's for your father's honor." The debate in Jlr. Sterling's miud was over. Taking up a pen ho wrote across the face of Jlr. Granger's note the word "cancelled," and handed it to the widow. ' What does this mean ?" she asked, locking bewildered, "It means," said Jlr. Sterling, "that I hold no obligation against your hus¬ band." Some moments wont b.v ere Jlrs. Granger'sthoughtsbeciineclcar enough to compreheml it all. T'hen she replietl, as she reached back the n-jte: I tb.ink you for j'our generous kind¬ ness, but he left his honor in my keep¬ ing, anil T must maintain it spotless." " That J-ou have alreiidj- done," an¬ swered Jlr. Sterling, speaking through emotions that wero new to him. " It's as white as snow." Then he thrust back upou her Hie twenty dollars she had just paid him. " No, Jlr. Sterling," the widow said. "Itsliall be as I will!" wasthe re¬ sponse "I would rather touch lire than J-our monej-; everj- dollar would burn my conscience like living coals." "But the last paj-ment," nrged the widow. "I shall feel better." " No, niaditm ! Would you thro\v fire upon my conscience? "I'bur husband's honor never hail a stain. All men knew him to be p'ure and upright. AVlieu Ciod took hiin. He assumed his earthly debts, and did not leave upon you the heavy burden of their payinout. l^ut he left you anotlier and most sacred ob-" ligation, whicii you have overlooked in part." " What?" asked the widow, in au al¬ most startled voice. " To minister to the wants ot your children, wlioin you have pliiclied and denied in tlieir tender years,—giving tlieirnieat tociiucelan obligation whioh dpiith paid. And you have made me a party iu the wroiig to them. All, Jlad- ani!" Jfr. Sterling's voice safto'iied, "if we could all see the right at the right time, and do right at the right time, liow miich of wrong anil sufTering might be Siivedl I bmioi- j-bur true-hearted self- devotion, butl shall be no party to its continuance. As'It is, I ani ydurdebtor in the sum of fifty dollars, and will re¬ pay it in my way any tiinc." Under Providence, this cireumstiince was the means of breiiking the hard crust of selfishness and cupidity which hiid formed around liis liciirt. He was not only geuerous to tlio widow in after years, but a doerof m.iuy deedsofkiud- ne.ss and humanity to whicii he had beeu in other times iv stfiinger. One day after the Ute horrible catas¬ trophe on the Dijon Railwaj-, an old man who had escaped by a miiacle from the crushed cars, presented him¬ self at the place of disaster. A work¬ man who was collecting tlie debris and clearing the track inquired what he wauted. " Monsieur, I am one of tho vi ctims." The workman looked up, and seeing a man without auy injury, inquired, " Whom have j-ou lost, then—your wife, yonr child, any friend ?" " No, Jlousieur, I havo lost inj' um¬ brella.*' The workman searched among the broken cars, and hy a singular chance found the umbrella. " There," said ho, giving it to the peasant, "you aro lucky toget out of the scrape la this way." " You call that lucky ?" returned the man; "look here-^they have broken two whalebones." Two oldfriendsmet.notlongsince, af¬ ter a separation of tllirty-fiye years.— ' \irell, Tom,' said one, ' how has the world gone with you, old boy ? Mar¬ ried yet 7 ' Yes, and I've got a family you can't match—seven boys ijqd one g rl.' 'I match it es'adtly',' was the re- p y, ' for I have seven girls and One boy.' Books about religion may be useful enough, but they will not do in the placrof^the simple truth otthe Bible. WARD BEECHER OK YOUUG MEN. In a recent sermon Eev. Henry AVard Beecher tbus discoursed on the young men of New York. But his observa¬ tions will suit thc merediau of Lancas¬ tor as well. ^, ^ , , . Who are the men that are needed in this world? Young men that shall bear burdens. We have enough - muUen- etallis;'-wo \7Bnt oak-trees.' Wehave enough men that are willing to do anj-- thing for the sake of getting along; but what are they worth ? They aro bridges for men to walk over. They are tools. Jlen use them, like sand-paper, to scour with, nnd then throw thera down and trample thera under foot. A young man that does not know how to say " No" ; a young man that has not power to resist the cup wheu it is presented to him—what is he but a poor, miserable wash-cloth, but a rag, dishonored, and Eut to the vilest uses? Who cares for im, or mourns over him, but some Christian mother or Christian minister? But a young mau that knows how to say "No;" that knows how to resist evil; that knows how to givo buffet for temptation—is not he hardening bim-" self? Is not he making his hones tough—particularly his backbones ? He is becoming columnar. And it is such as he that are sought after in business. A man says, " Here is a difBcult depart¬ ment in my establishment, and I would pay almost any price if I could ftnd a man that I could trust." Says the man whom he addresses, "Iknow an im¬ practicable sort of fellow that I think might suit you. He will sti'ck to what he thiuks is right at all hazards. You cannot turn him from it by any power on earth." Saj's the other man, "I want a llgnum-vlt.ii man ; send him to me." Let it once be known thata man cannot be cujoleii; that ho will not lie, even for himself; that he will not steal, aud has a iircjudlce agaiust stealing; let it Ije knowu thathe has been tried, and that there is inward principle in him; and let us put him up at auction, and I will get a million bid on him! Men are the thiugs that are tho most needed in New "York. Why, there is no timber in the market that Is gather¬ ed up so greedily as they are. There is nothing so mucn needed in bank busi¬ ness, in all departments of it, as moral principle." And yet merchants will teach young men to lie; and, for the sake of momentary proflt, to cajole cus¬ tomers. And when, by-and-by, these youug men grow up, they become, on their owuaecount.filchers, andstealers, aud liars. You thiuk that the young meu of this generatlou are corrupt and worthless. They are; but the blame rests on your shoulders. Y"ou wore their schoolmastere. Y'ou taught them to lie and cheat in j'oiu: interest; nnd now Ihej- do it iu their own. Now your own chickens come home to "raost, Jlercliants North and .Sbuth have been raising hy the wholesale damuahlo young men without priuciple. And'ft J-oung man, if he would save himself from destruction, must olliig to that "anchorof the soul, both sure aud steadfast, which entercth into that within the vail." Nothing else cau in¬ sure him safetj-. Therefore, I. say boldly that a young man who, for the sake of his own inler- est, denies his Christ, first sells his Sa¬ viour, aud then goes and hangs himself, as Judas did; aud in the long run com¬ passes his own mischief. On the other hand, whenit is houses, or lands, or name, or place, or ambition, orpleasure, on one side, and Christ on the other, and a man saj-s, " I deny mj-.self of houses, .ind land, and name, and pl.ice, aud ambition, and pleasure, and take Christ"—that step "iiti lilm for, coming into possession of tlieso various things. He is most likelj' to possess thera who Ives them all-up. ...'.' . \ ' AViiAT A Goof. Wife is Woetii..—A" Kentucky farmijf jjUlJlishcs the follow¬ ing evldene^^iOiF.tBa'induey value of a wife. The coaMinloiiKhip of snch a wife was even jlHrt' plreclous thaivher industry and ecoiiotoy: I have been fanning twoHty-four years. The first four years I was upmarrled. I.bogEn farming with two hundred aiijd fifty acres in the Blue Grass region.,. 5[:lian-. died oattie,- hogs, sheep and' HblsSS— princi]iallj- the tw-o flrst named—and lived, I thought, tolerably economical; spent none of tho money for tobacco in any way, and yet at the end of the four years I had made little or no clear mon¬ ej-. I theu married a young lady eigh¬ teen years of age-one -who had never done anj- housework or work of anj- kind, except making a portion of hcr own clothes. She hiiduevermiideaslilrt, drawei-s, pants, or waistcoat, or even sewed a stich on a coat, and yet before we had been married a year she had made for me cverj- one of the articles of clothing nanied, aud knit a number of pairs of stocking.?—j-es, and mended divers of articles for me, not excepting an old hat or two. .She has also made butter, sold eggs, chickens, and other fowls, and vegetables ty the amount ot near SBOI) in casb at the eud of the year, whereas during the four j-ears that I was single I had never sold flve cents worth—besides making me purely hap¬ py and contented with my own home. And, so far as to milking of monej' clear of expeuses, I have done so every j-ear since we w-ere married, in everything we havo undertaken on the farm, and she has made from §350 fo SoOO every year except one, during tbe time, sell¬ ing butter, eggs, and marketing of dif¬ ferent kinds.

A Story OI- Tukicev Kivkk, Iowa. On Tnrkej'river lived Ama.sa i^arker, aworthj-itluerantiqinistcrof the'jfeth- odist church. IJesides liehig a fisher of meu, he was a fisher of fish, arid also delighted in the'plensiiresof the chase. To hirii one firio t^aturdaj- night came another son of Nlmrod—Jack Waters. Jack woke up the uiinlstor hy calllug to liiin frqni the outside. I'he piirson pnt his head out of the door and recog¬ nized his friendat once.- " Jlr. Barker," saj's Jack, " fine night for 'coon hunting. Can yon come out and hiiveashqt'?" A munied protest in a feminine voice was faintly heard inside the house ; but the good minister was too ardent a hun¬ ter to yield even td petticoat influence. A moment later he appeared at the door In hunting trim, and the two n^en started off, although tho protest w.is re¬ peated more strenously, acoompaiiicd by the appiirition i>t a window of a head incased with a rufUed niglit caji. Spite ofthe fine uight, "however, and the skill of the" two hunters, luck was against tlicin ; and .several hours.had passed before they met with anything worth taking home. At last the par¬ son descried a fjne coon" in a tree. Be¬ inga sprightly p.arsqn, and an agile, he climbed up after tlio anlirjal, follo\ving it to <iuite a Iiight. At last, getting a good eliauce, he Idvelled his gun. .'!"SYhy don't yon ijre'?" honrsely whispered Jack,, iifter \valtuig several niinutes, during which the parson re¬ niained suddenly transfixed, neglecting to pull the trigger. "I siiy, Jlr. Waters" he replied, " what time is it? Beniember this is ¦Siiturday night," "No it isn't," saj-s Jack, looking at his watch, " it's" Sunday morniug. Just flve minutes past twelve. , Now, fire quick, you won't h.ive such a olianco again. LEGAL notices; Mart E. CoNTNOHA^r. by her next friend, Philip JIUler, Nov'r T.. ISfifi. vs. No. iOi.

FOE FATHER'S HONOR.
"Ra much gone! I miglit have known how it tn'oiiIiI he!" .saiil Jlr. ¦Sleiling, looking np from a inorning paper, villi a most unpleasant exines- .sion on his faee. " "What h.is gono?" asked the wife. " My money is gone?" answered Mr. Sterling.
" That money I r.'as foolish enough (o lend air. Granger." "Whj- do you s.iy that?" " He's dead," replied Mr. Sterling, coldly.
" Dead!" The •ivife's voice was fnll of surprise and pain. .SorroM- over- .shadowed her faee.
"Yes, goue, and my money wilh him. Here'snoticeof his death. I -was sure ¦when I saw him go away that he'd never come hack exeept in liis coftin. "Why will doctors -send their jiatients away from home to die!"
"Poor Mrs. Granger! Poor little orphans:" sighod Mrs. Stirling. "What ¦vviUtheydbt"-, "
" As'.^lteUWtfed'ut hira ns with him," •wasUieonfteltog aJBwcr of her hus¬ band, who \V0^I^ thinking of the three huiitjjrcd djlpars ho had beeu per¬ suaded to loan the sick clergj-man, in order that he might go South during the winter. " He'sbeen more of a bur¬ den than a support to thenfthese two J'ears."
"Oh, Harvey! How ean you speak so ?" remonstriited Jlrs. Sterling, "A kinder man in his faniily was never seen. Poor Mrs. Granger! She will be heartbroken."
" Kindness is cheap and is easit^ dis¬ pensed," coldly; jeplied Jlr. Sterling. He .wowld fiia^iJ^'fen of more use to his Qy if he had fed and clothed them &&» I reckon thej' can do without liim. If I had three hundred dollars, I wouldn't—"
But he checked for shame—not for feelings—the almost brut.il words his heart sent up to his tougue.
Not many hundred yards away from Mr. Sterliug's handsome residence stood a small, plain cottage, with a garden in frontueatlj'laid out in box- boarded walks and lilled with shrub- berrj-. A honey-suekle, twined with a running rose bush, covered the latticed portico, and looked in at the chamber windows giving beauty and sweetness. The haud of taste was seen every¬ where—not lavish, but discriminate taste. Two ye.irs befoie there was not a happier home thau this in all the pleasant town of C -. Now the shad¬ ow of death was upon it.
Poor Mrs. Granger! Poor little or¬ phaus ! Well might Jlrs. Sterling pity them. Wliile her mercenary husband •was sighing over the loss of tliree hun¬ dred dollars, the j'oung widow lay senseless -with her two little children weeping over her in childish terror. The news of death found her unprepa¬ red. Only a week before she had re¬ ceived a letter from iir. Granger, in which he talked hopefully of hia recov¬ erj-. "I am stronger, "he said: "Ihave gained five pounds iu flesh since I lelt home." Three days after writing this letter there oame ai sudden change of temperature; he took cold, whloU waa followed by congestion of the lungs; and no medical skill was sufiieient for the case. His body was not sent home for interment. When the husband and father went aw.iy two or three mouths before, his loved ones looked upon his face for the hist time in this world.
Ijove andhonormake the heart strong. Mrs. Granger was a gentle, trusting woman. She had leaned upou her hus¬ baud very heavilj-; she had clung to him as a vine, Tliose who kuew her best felt most anxious about her. " ,Slie oannot stand aloue,"
IJut thej" were niistaken. As wo have jnst said, love and honor make the heart strong. Onlj- a M'cek after Mr. Starling had read o'r the j'oiing miui.s- tur'a death, he received a note from the widow.
"My husband," shesaid, " was ena¬ bled to go South in hopes ot regaining his health, through j'our kindness. If ho had lived, tha money you loaned him would have been faithfully return¬ ed, for he was a man of honor. Dj-lug he left that honor in my keening, and I will see tljet the debt is puid. IJutyou will have to be 1^ little patient \vith me." " AU very liiie," muttered Mr. Ster- ing, with a slight curling lip, "I've leard of such tilings before. They sound M-ell. People will saj- of Mrs. Granger, 'what a noblo womau! what a line sense of honor she ha..i!' but I shall never see the three huudred dol- la'fB t W!is foolish enough tp lend her jiusband."
Very much to Jfr. Sterling's surprise, .and not a little to his pleasure, ho dis¬ covered about three mouths afterwards that he was nnstalfeii iu his estimate of Jfrs. Griniger. 'fhe pale, sad, fragile little woiiiau broiight liiln the sum of twenty-five dollars. He did not see the ieqrs in her eyes as he displayed her luiabaud's note, with his dear familiar writing, and made thereon, with con- (iidorable formality, an endorsement of the anm paid. She would have given many drops of her heart's blood to have been able to clutch the document from Jlr. Sterling's hands. It seemed like a blot on the dear lost one's memory.
" Katie Granger is the queerest little girl I ever knew," said Flora Tomple to her mother on the evening of the vory day the lirst payment was mado. Jlr. Sterling heard the remark, and let¬ ting his eyes drop from the newspaper ho was reading, turued his ears to lis¬ ten.
" I think her a very nice little girl," leplied the mother.
" Soulie is nice," returned the child, " but then she isso queer. Oh, she isn't like the rest of the girls. She said the oddest thing to-day. I almost laughed out: but I'm glad I flidn't. Three of us, Katie, Lillie Bonfleld and I were walkinground the square at recess time, when uncle Hiram came along, aud ta- . king out three bright ten cent pieces, he said: ' here's a dime for each of you girls to buy sugar plums.' Lillie and I screamed out, aud started away for tlie caudj--8hop in an instant; but Katie stood still with her shore of the money m her hand. 'Come along!" I cried, hhe aldn'tmove,but looked strange and serious. ' Aren't you going to buy some candy wifh it?' I asked. Then she shook her head gravely and put the dime in her pocket, saying (I don't think she meant me to hear her words) — It s for father's honor ;' and leaving u3,;wenthacktotUeschoilroom. "What
I did slie mean by that, mother 1 Oh, she is so queer!"
" Hermotheris very poor, youknow," replied Mrs. Sterling, laying up Katie's remark to be pondered over.
"She must De strange," said Flora, " for she's worn the same frock to school for 'most three months."
Mr. Sterling, who did not let a single word ofthis conversation, escape him, was far from feeling as comfortablo un¬ der the prospect of getting back the money he had loaned Jlr. Granger, as he had felt an hour hefore. He under¬ stood the meaning of Katie's remark, " It's for father's honor ;" the truth flashed at once through his mind..
There was another period of three months, and then Jlrs. Granger called again on Mr. Sterling and gave him twenty-iive dollars more. The pale, thin face made a stronger Impression uponhim. It troubled him to lift the money in her small fingers. In which the blue veius shone through the transparent skin, as she counted it out. He wished she had sent the mon¬ ey instead of calling. It was on his lips to remark, "Do not trouble or pinch j-ourself to pay faster than is conveni¬ ent, Jlrs, Granger," but cupidity whis¬ pered that she might take advantage of his kindness so he kept silent.
" No, dear, it's for father's honor. I cannot spend the monej-."
Jtr. Sterling was passiu" a fruitsliop, where two children were looking in at the window, Wheu this senteuce struck upou his ears.
" Au apple won't cost but a penny, Katie; and I want one so badlj'," au¬ swercd the younger ofthe two children, a little gill not five years of age.
" Come away, JIaggie," said the oth¬ er, drawing hcr sister back from the window.
" Don't look at them auj- more—dout think about them."
" But I can't help thinking about them, Katie," pleaded the cliilu.
It was more thau Jfr. Sterling could stand. Every want of his own children was supplied. He bought fruit by the barrel. Aud here wa.s a little child pleading for an apple which cost only a cent; bnt the peimj' must bo saved to make good the dead father's honor. Who held that honor in iiledge ? Who took the sum total of those pcnuies, saved in theself-denialof littleeliildren, aud added tbem to his already brim¬ ming coffers ? A feeling of shame burst upou the cheek of Jlr. Sterling.
" Hero Uttle oues !" he called, as the two children went slowlj' awaj' from the fruil shop window. He was touch¬ ed with thc sober look on their j;oung faces as thej- turned at liis invitation.
" Come," repeated Mr. Sterling, speak¬ ing very kindly.
The children then followed him into the shop, and he filled their aprons with apples and oranges. Their thank¬ ful ej-cs iind happy faces were in his memorj' all daj'. This was his reward, and it was sweet.
Three months more, and again Mr. .Sterling had avisitfrom tho palo j'oung widow. This time she had only twentj' dollars. It was all she had been able to save, she said; butshe made no excuse and uttered no complaint. Jlr. Sterling took 14)C.monej- and counted it overiu a hesitating wa.v. The touch thereof was iileasaut to his fingers, for lie loved tlie monej-. But the vision of sober child faces was before his ej-es, and the sound of pleading child voices in his ears.
Through over-taxing toil, and the de¬ nial of lier.5elf aud little ones, the poor widow had gathered this .small sum, and was now paying it into his hands, to mako good the honorable contract of her dead husband. He hesitated, ruf¬ fling in a half absent way the edges of the little pile of bills that lay under his fingers.
One tiling was clear to him; ho would never take anything more from the widow. The bahmce of the debt must be forgiven. People would get to un¬ derstand tiic widow's case, they w-ould hear of self-denial and that Of uer chil¬ dren in order to paj' the husband's and father's debt, iu order ta Keep jftire his honor; and thej-would ask, naturally, who was the ex.icting ereditor ? ^tiis thought aflTected him^uimlfassnHy. ' Slowlj?;""*'^h'3 lljL-wIiose^'nd-debate still went on, Jlr. Sterling took from his desk a large pocket-hook, aud se¬ lected from one of the compartments a note on which . Jlrs. Granger had now made three paj'ments. For some mo- uients he held it in his hands looking at the faee thereof. He saw writteu iu clear figures tbo sum of$30'J. Seventy of this had been paid. If he gave up or destroyed the slip of paper he would lose two hundred and thirty dollars. It was something of a trial for one who loved monej' so well to come up square¬ ly to this issue. Something fell in be¬ tween his eyes and the note of hand. He did not see the writiug and figures of the obligation, but a sad, pleading little face, and with the vision of this fiice came to his ears the sentence: " No, dear, it's for your father's honor." The debate in Jlr. Sterling's miud was over. Taking up a pen ho wrote across the face of Jlr. Granger's note the word "cancelled," and handed it to the widow.
' What does this mean ?" she asked, locking bewildered,
"It means," said Jlr. Sterling, "that I hold no obligation against your hus¬ band."
Some moments wont b.v ere Jlrs. Granger'sthoughtsbeciineclcar enough to compreheml it all. T'hen she replietl, as she reached back the n-jte:
I tb.ink you for j'our generous kind¬ ness, but he left his honor in my keep¬ ing, anil T must maintain it spotless."
" That J-ou have alreiidj- done," an¬ swered Jlr. Sterling, speaking through emotions that wero new to him. " It's as white as snow."
Then he thrust back upou her Hie twenty dollars she had just paid him. " No, Jlr. Sterling," the widow said. "Itsliall be as I will!" wasthe re¬ sponse "I would rather touch lire than J-our monej-; everj- dollar would burn my conscience like living coals." "But the last paj-ment," nrged the widow. "I shall feel better."
" No, niaditm ! Would you thro\v fire upon my conscience? "I'bur husband's honor never hail a stain. All men knew him to be p'ure and upright. AVlieu Ciod took hiin. He assumed his earthly debts, and did not leave upon you the heavy burden of their payinout. l^ut he left you anotlier and most sacred ob-" ligation, whicii you have overlooked in part."
" What?" asked the widow, in au al¬ most startled voice.
" To minister to the wants ot your children, wlioin you have pliiclied and denied in tlieir tender years,—giving tlieirnieat tociiucelan obligation whioh dpiith paid. And you have made me a party iu the wroiig to them. All, Jlad- ani!" Jfr. Sterling's voice safto'iied, "if we could all see the right at the right time, and do right at the right time, liow miich of wrong anil sufTering might be Siivedl I bmioi- j-bur true-hearted self- devotion, butl shall be no party to its continuance. As'It is, I ani ydurdebtor in the sum of fifty dollars, and will re¬ pay it in my way any tiinc."
Under Providence, this cireumstiince was the means of breiiking the hard crust of selfishness and cupidity which hiid formed around liis liciirt. He was not only geuerous to tlio widow in after years, but a doerof m.iuy deedsofkiud- ne.ss and humanity to whicii he had beeu in other times iv stfiinger.
One day after the Ute horrible catas¬ trophe on the Dijon Railwaj-, an old man who had escaped by a miiacle from the crushed cars, presented him¬ self at the place of disaster. A work¬ man who was collecting tlie debris and clearing the track inquired what he wauted.
" Monsieur, I am one of tho vi ctims."
The workman looked up, and seeing a man without auy injury, inquired, " Whom have j-ou lost, then—your wife, yonr child, any friend ?"
" No, Jlousieur, I havo lost inj' um¬ brella.*'
The workman searched among the broken cars, and hy a singular chance found the umbrella.
" There," said ho, giving it to the peasant, "you aro lucky toget out of the scrape la this way."
" You call that lucky ?" returned the man; "look here-^they have broken two whalebones."
Two oldfriendsmet.notlongsince, af¬ ter a separation of tllirty-fiye years.— ' \irell, Tom,' said one, ' how has the world gone with you, old boy ? Mar¬ ried yet 7 ' Yes, and I've got a family you can't match—seven boys ijqd one g rl.' 'I match it es'adtly',' was the re- p y, ' for I have seven girls and One boy.'

WARD BEECHER OK YOUUG MEN.
In a recent sermon Eev. Henry AVard Beecher tbus discoursed on the young men of New York. But his observa¬ tions will suit thc merediau of Lancas¬ tor as well. ^, ^ , , .
Who are the men that are needed in this world? Young men that shall bear burdens. We have enough - muUen- etallis;'-wo \7Bnt oak-trees.' Wehave enough men that are willing to do anj-- thing for the sake of getting along; but what are they worth ? They aro bridges for men to walk over. They are tools. Jlen use them, like sand-paper, to scour with, nnd then throw thera down and trample thera under foot. A young man that does not know how to say " No" ; a young man that has not power to resist the cup wheu it is presented to him—what is he but a poor, miserable wash-cloth, but a rag, dishonored, and
Eut to the vilest uses? Who cares for im, or mourns over him, but some Christian mother or Christian minister? But a young mau that knows how to say "No;" that knows how to resist evil; that knows how to givo buffet for temptation—is not he hardening bim-" self? Is not he making his hones tough—particularly his backbones ? He is becoming columnar. And it is such as he that are sought after in business. A man says, " Here is a difBcult depart¬ ment in my establishment, and I would pay almost any price if I could ftnd a man that I could trust." Says the man whom he addresses, "Iknow an im¬ practicable sort of fellow that I think might suit you. He will sti'ck to what he thiuks is right at all hazards. You cannot turn him from it by any power on earth." Saj's the other man, "I want a llgnum-vlt.ii man ; send him to me." Let it once be known thata man cannot be cujoleii; that ho will not lie, even for himself; that he will not steal, aud has a iircjudlce agaiust stealing; let it Ije knowu thathe has been tried, and that there is inward principle in him; and let us put him up at auction, and I will get a million bid on him! Men are the thiugs that are tho most needed in New "York. Why, there is no timber in the market that Is gather¬ ed up so greedily as they are. There is nothing so mucn needed in bank busi¬ ness, in all departments of it, as moral principle." And yet merchants will teach young men to lie; and, for the sake of momentary proflt, to cajole cus¬ tomers. And when, by-and-by, these youug men grow up, they become, on their owuaecount.filchers, andstealers, aud liars. You thiuk that the young meu of this generatlou are corrupt and worthless. They are; but the blame rests on your shoulders. Y"ou wore their schoolmastere. Y'ou taught them to lie and cheat in j'oiu: interest; nnd now Ihej- do it iu their own. Now your own chickens come home to "raost, Jlercliants North and .Sbuth have been raising hy the wholesale damuahlo young men without priuciple. And'ft J-oung man, if he would save himself from destruction, must olliig to that "anchorof the soul, both sure aud steadfast, which entercth into that within the vail." Nothing else cau in¬ sure him safetj-.
Therefore, I. say boldly that a young man who, for the sake of his own inler- est, denies his Christ, first sells his Sa¬ viour, aud then goes and hangs himself, as Judas did; aud in the long run com¬ passes his own mischief. On the other hand, whenit is houses, or lands, or name, or place, or ambition, orpleasure, on one side, and Christ on the other, and a man saj-s, " I deny mj-.self of houses, .ind land, and name, and pl.ice, aud ambition, and pleasure, and take Christ"—that step "iiti lilm for, coming into possession of tlieso various things. He is most likelj' to possess thera who Ives them all-up. ...'.' . \ '
AViiAT A Goof. Wife is Woetii..—A" Kentucky farmijf jjUlJlishcs the follow¬ ing evldene^^iOiF.tBa'induey value of a wife. The coaMinloiiKhip of snch a wife was even jlHrt' plreclous thaivher industry and ecoiiotoy: I have been fanning twoHty-four years. The first four years I was upmarrled. I.bogEn farming with two hundred aiijd fifty acres in the Blue Grass region.,. 5[:lian-. died oattie,- hogs, sheep and' HblsSS— princi]iallj- the tw-o flrst named—and lived, I thought, tolerably economical; spent none of tho money for tobacco in any way, and yet at the end of the four years I had made little or no clear mon¬ ej-. I theu married a young lady eigh¬ teen years of age-one -who had never done anj- housework or work of anj- kind, except making a portion of hcr own clothes. She hiiduevermiideaslilrt, drawei-s, pants, or waistcoat, or even sewed a stich on a coat, and yet before we had been married a year she had made for me cverj- one of the articles of clothing nanied, aud knit a number of pairs of stocking.?—j-es, and mended divers of articles for me, not excepting an old hat or two. .She has also made butter, sold eggs, chickens, and other fowls, and vegetables ty the amount ot near SBOI) in casb at the eud of the year, whereas during the four j-ears that I was single I had never sold flve cents worth—besides making me purely hap¬ py and contented with my own home. And, so far as to milking of monej' clear of expeuses, I have done so every j-ear since we w-ere married, in everything we havo undertaken on the farm, and she has made from §350 fo SoOO every year except one, during tbe time, sell¬ ing butter, eggs, and marketing of dif¬ ferent kinds. Jfy j-earlj- expRnses for line clothing, etc., before I was iiVarried, were more tlian my j-early expenses were after I was inarrled, combined with the expenses of mj- wife aud chll- di-on, and dur farni hiis Increased from 1 2.30 to (i-jO acres; and 1 believe tbat if I had not married It would never have incroiiscd but little, if any; and I have beeu absent from lioiiie butsi.i; nights, when my wife Vfaa at our houie, siuce we wero inarrled, and lior cheeks kiss as sweetly to n\e as they did tl\o morn¬ ing alter I was married.
A Story OI- Tukicev Kivkk, Iowa. On Tnrkej'river lived Ama.sa i^arker, aworthj-itluerantiqinistcrof the'jfeth- odist church. IJesides liehig a fisher of meu, he was a fisher of fish, arid also delighted in the'plensiiresof the chase. To hirii one firio t^aturdaj- night came another son of Nlmrod—Jack Waters. Jack woke up the uiinlstor hy calllug to liiin frqni the outside. I'he piirson pnt his head out of the door and recog¬ nized his friendat once.-
" Jlr. Barker," saj's Jack, " fine night for 'coon hunting. Can yon come out and hiiveashqt'?"
