C3S" The Remarkable Properties of Brown’s 
Bronchial Troches have been thoroughly tested since 
first. Introduced. The demand for them lias steadily in¬ 
creased, nnd purely upon their own merits, they have 
found favor with those, who from Pulmonary, Bronchial, 
or Asthmatic complaints require them. For Coughs and 
Colds they are efficacious.

ANACREON'S ODE TO CUPID 
STUNG BT A BEE. 
As CuriD ’ntong the roses lolled, 
The busy bee did not behold : 
And so tvas stung. When, screaming out, 
He wrung his wounded hand about, 
And half on foot, and half on wing, 
To Vends hied, and thus did sing: 
“ O mother," called he with shrill cry, 
“I perish, perish, and I die: 
A short, winged eerpent wounded me, 
Which farmers call the 1 busy bee.’ ” 
Then she replied, "If smarts the touch 
Of this small bee, O son, how much 
Dost thou suppose do pain the darts 
Thou piercest oft through mortal hearts?"

Getty, the little shoemaker of Leverington, 
sat bending over his work, singing to himself a 
pleasant time; for Getty had a cheerful mind, 
and a heart as full of music as the throat of a 
bird. A shadow fell across the room, and he 
looked up, meet ing the face of a neighbor, who 
stood leaning over the half door of his shop. 
“Good morning, Getty,” said the neighbor. 
“The same to you, Mr. Hey.” returned the 
shoemaker, a smile breaking over his not very 
handsome face. “ Won’t you come in ?” 
“ Just for a moment. I want to soy a word or 
two.” And Mr, Hey pushed open the half door 
and entered the shop. 
“Sit down,” said Getty, nodding toward a 
chair—the back having disappeared. 
The neighbor sat down. His face had grown 
serious. He looked at Getty, ami Getty looked 
steadily at him. Now, the shoemaker had a pair 
of clear, steady eyes—honest, brave eyes —and 
no man in Leverington bad ever been able to 
look him out of countenance. His eyes were 
the index of his character. There was nothing 
covert, nothing awry, nothing of policy about 
Getty. Meet him where you would, he was 
open as the day—upright, outright, downright, 
as was often said of him. So he looked steadily 
into lii6 neighbor’s face, waiting for his word. 
“ I was sorry to see you so strongly in oppo¬ 
sition to Mr. Gaskill, last evening,” said Mr. 
Hey. 
“Which was right? Mr. Gaskill or I?” 
promptly asked the shoemaker. 
“That isn’t the question I have come to dis¬ 
cuss, Getty. I'm your lriend, and, seeing dan¬ 
ger ahead, I am here to warn and counsel. 
Gaskill is a strong man in this town.” 
“And I’m only a cobbler!” 
“ Just so; and dependent on the good will of 
your customers.” 
“No, sir!” answered Getty, lifting las arm 
with a quick, emphatic motion, and drooping his 
heavy brows. “I'm dependent on no man's 
good will. While a just God rules in the affairs 
of this world, I am not afraid to be right, to speak 
right, or to do right. I opposed Mr. Gaskill last 
evening in our church meeting; and not another 
man present had a word to say agajnst him. 
True, there were not many on bis side, but none 
was found to stand up for principle with the 
poor shoemaker, lest the favor of this rich and 
influential man should be lost.” 
“You put the case very broadly,” said Mr. 
Hey. “ I can state it differently,” 
“Very well, I ara always ready to hear. Show 
me the truth aud I’ll accept it.” 
“ Our society is not rich.” 
“Granted.” 
“Half its expense is borne by Mr. Gaskill.” 
“I know.” 
“We cannot, therefore, afford to lose his good¬ 
will. If he is inclined to have things his way, it 
is better to iudulge bim, even if it is not the best 
way. There is more to be lost than gained by 
opposition.” 
“ Do you believe in God ?” 
The little shoemaker’s voice rounded out into 
a full tone of questioning surprise. The neigh¬ 
bor did not answer. 
“16 this God's church, or man’s church ? Are 
we working for the salvation of souls, or to give 
honor and glory to men ?” 
The neighbor kept silence. He was no match 
for Getty when the little man roused himself. 
“It is God‘6 church. He will take care of it 
if we will let him. But if we set men above 
truth and right, because they happen to have 
money and influence he will depart from us.” 
“ It’6 of no use to talk with you,” said the 
neighbor, rattier coldly. “You take the hit in 
your mouth and go your own way headlong.” 
“ And God being my helper, I’ll always get 
the hit into my mouth when men try to turn me 
into the wrong way. * Is it right ?’ That is the 
question for me, and yon, aud every Christian 
man to ask, Mr. Hey. All the rest is with God; 
and so far in life I have never seen cause to let 
my faith fail. When I am right, I feel safe. I 
am tranquil and peaceful. All the powers of 
hell cannot prevail against me.” 
Mr. Hey rose from liis chair. 
“Don’t be in a hurry,” said the shoemaker. 
“Don’t go yet.” 
“ Yea, I must go. One might as well talk to 
the wind as to you. I saw danger in your path 
and came as a friend to warn you; but you set 
my counsel at naught. If harm befall you in 
this thing my skirts are clear.” 
The little shoemaker laid down his work and 
stood up, leaning over his catting hoard. 
“Mi-. Gaskill is angry?” he said. 
“ Of course he is. Such men do not bear op¬ 
position well.” 
“ Anger is like fire in a man’s own bouse. It 
may blaze over and scorch his neighbor’s bouse;

mana lor spring nnd bummer business is greater than 
the supply. The great preference exhibited by the 
business community for those who qualify nt this 
Institution is owiDg to the fact of their being so thor¬ 
oughly drilled in ACTUAL BUSINESS OPERA¬

wide spread reputation and placed it so far in advance 
of all the Commercial or Business Schools. Reference 
is given to two hundred graduates now in the Gov¬

The meeting waj opened, and the school ques¬ 
tion came up. Tuo or three spoke in favor of 
the new plan ol organization which Mr. Gaskill 
had proposed. Gt:ly kept silent though it could 
he seen by t lie per dtual Vising and falling of his 
brow, and the rosins motion of bis lips, that he 
was a deeply interested listener, and would have 
his say before thofJiinE was over. Mr. Gaskill 
had not vd pari*paled in any action of the 
meeting. !l In- Ai dulK. At length one of the 
speakers, carried .ilav by a mean spirit of sub¬ 
serviency to a r< I and iiuluential man, made 
this thrust at Gett>| 
“ We shall have Sous opposition from nar¬ 
row souls, who cannot see beyond the limits of 
their little horizon I but let us not be disturbed 
thereat. Such lliirts always attend the steps of 
progress and liberally.” 
The speaker sat lown, nnd Getty was on the 
floor in an iust.4t. Cries of “Question,” 
“Question,” ran tiund the room, from those 
who hod made tip weir minds to put the shoe¬ 
maker clown, Th'i were satisfied that GasklU’s 
reform plan would be carried by a large majori¬ 
ty, and therefore clinored for a vote. 
“Let me sny L it three words,” said Getty. 
“No!” “No!” | “Not half a word !” cried 
voices here aud the t.\ 
“ I appeal to the hair,” said Getty. 
“Sit down.” ‘Question.” “Question.”— 
Excitement, aud coi fusion reigne d in the room. 
The chairman \va about putting the question, 
when Mr. Guskiil arose. All became silent. 
You could hear a/pin drop. Every eye was 
turned upon the linm whose word in church 
matters had becoroa almost law with more than 
half of those preseat. No one cried, “Ques¬ 
tion” now. 
“Mr. Chuirinun -j—” he began. But Getty 
did not allow him tl proceed. Respectfully, but 
firmly, he said, 
“ I have the HoOrtMr. Chairman.” 
“Insolent fell out” exclaimed one, near the 
shoemaker, loud etJbugh to be heard. But Get¬ 
ty paid no ttttentioi to him. 
“And should bs heard,” said Mr. Gaskill, 
yielding the flooij He spoke this sentence 
heartily. 
“1 have but thtc words to say, Mr, Chair¬ 
man.” There waslft change in Getty’s voice. 
The stern resoluUliess with which he had de¬ 
clared, “lhave tIA floor, Mr. Chairman,” was 
gone. In the deep hush that followed, he said, 
with an appeal in life tone that made every heart 
thrill, 
“Is it right?” And then, moving out from 
the pew in which i e had remained alone from 
tlie commcueeun i! i of the meeting, he walked 
slowly down the a: lc and left the vestry- room. 
No* response wa i made for over n minute. 
At length Mr. Goal 111 arose, and, in a subdued 
voice said: 
“As men and Ci ristiaus, we must not he deaf 
to that appeal, 1 * it right?’ Honestly, my 
l'ricnda, lain not ul ogethe.r sure that the change 
we have purposed making will be right. God 
instructs us in hum y ways; and fie also rebukes 
us in many way.'. He does not ask us by what 
messengers wc wi 1 hear from liim, but sends 
connaefaml wand g by whom He will. 1 think 
he has spoken to is to night, and through the 
lips of one we mi y have been weak and sinful 
enough to despise 1 believe that a motion to 
adjourn is always n order, and I now oiler such 
a motion,” 
The motion was carried, aud the meeting ad¬ 
journed; all prose it returning home more sober 
and thoughtful tl ail when they assembled to¬ 
gether. 
It wah f rill earl, and Getty went hack to his 
shop to finish a si >e he was mending for a cus¬ 
tomer. About n! .e o'clock a lad came in and 
said, 
“ Mr. Grift kill u4uld like to see you for a little 
while this evening.” 
“ Let Mr. Gankin come and see me. I’m ns 
good as he ift, and lie’s as able to walk as I am.” 
This was what G« tty thought, hut he did not 
so speak. Instantly another thought came into 
liis mind, “ Is it right?” This settled his action. 
“Verywel!,” la- replied. “Tell Mr. Gaskill 
that J will come round.” 
The rich man met the poor shoemaker, with a 
frank, kind manner.—[Concluded on page 65,
