These make the perfect matt.

The Rule of Conscience.
The . robbery of a big New York bank
'by one of its clerks,' of a sum appalling in
:its magnitude, and despite every safe-
guard that the ingenuity of man has been
:able to devise, illustrates forcibly the in-
-efficiency of extraneous forces to control
•eonduct. For many years a bookkeeper
had systematically abstracted moneyfrom
the bank right under the noses of his
vigilant superiors, and in the face of a
;rigid and frequent government inspection.
The law of the land, the law of society
and the fear of all the penalties imposed
for violations thereof, were not sufficient
to deter the thief from his crime.
The real police of society is within the
individual breast. A man does not have
to be honest unless he chooses. The re-
straint exorcised by the puny devices of
the law, either those laid down upon the
statute book, or those prescribed by cus-
-tem, avails nothing, practically, • if the
impulse to right -doing has left the heart.
'The lesson has a most practical appli-
,cation.
Tho air is full of .the clamor of a class
aif reformers who look to statutory enact-
merits for the salvation of the world. It
is a curious fact of modern tinges that
people who have actually ceased to know
.artificial l;•overnment in their own lives,
still look to it to conform the lives of
others to the accepted standards of con-
duct. The good man lives in a state of
anarchy. As far as he is concerned there
are no laws and no pollee to execute them.
He is governed by the voice within, and
governed effectually. Tho best the laws
and the police can do is to exert a clumsy
„effort to make the way of the transgressor
as hard ets possible.
There is use for laws, and a use for pol-
ice, of course. There was a time in the
world's history when the voice within
had not yet been hoard, when' all men
•considered it right to steal: if' they were
not prevented by extraneous force. The
world has not outgrown that condition
-entirely. There are still men who are
ready to steal unless outwardly non-
strained to be honest. The law is for
such as they, It cannot repress them,
but it can accomplish something in that
-direction.
Tho case of the New York bookkeeper
.shows how little artificial restraints can
affect,. It shown bow ineffectual are the
attacks on sin by the law and its minions.
It shows how entirely wrong are they who
.expect the law to conquer wiekeclness and
redeem the world. Too much, is expected
0f the law, and as a result there are con-
,stant and humiliating exhibitions of its
• weakness in the shape of dead letters on.
)the statute books. Man was not made for
a straight -jacket. As long as he is a free-
will being it is in the education of his will
that his salvation is to be achieved. ,Froin
a society in the .middle ages every mem-
her of which was in rebellion against the
•maternal prineiples of right and wrong, the
world has progressed until many men and
women do right because it is their choice.

One Honest Baker.
"The present agitation of the cheap
read question reminds us of ,Margaret, of
w Orleans. whose honesty as a baker
aused a monument to be erected to her
emery," said a New Orleans man who
was chatting about his city. "My city
dopted the plan in vogue in Europe and
eased an ordinance regulating the weight
f loaves of bread, and providing for the
tippointment of a bread inspector. In
pith of all the efforts of that official the
read still continued to weigh light, and
seemed as though there was a combine-.
n among the bakers to defeat the pur-
oses of the ordinance. One morning a
ad of breach was gent to the inspector,
id every loaf was full weight.. It came
om a modest bakeshop kept bya woman
amed Margaret. • What her other name
as none ev, r knew, but the word passed
rough the city that there was one pon-
t baker, and soon she could not sapply
e demand forher bread. When pros-
ribs,smiled upon her she gave thou-
nds of loaves to the poor who could not
y, and none did more for the suffering
d needy ones of the city.
"She was known everywhere by her
eds of charity, and when she died a
onument was erected to.her memory."
