Live not for ThyseIf Alone.

God has written upon the flowers that
sweeten the ar--on the breeze that rocks
the flowers on the stem, upon the rain-drop
that refreshes the sprig of moss that lifts It's
head in the desert-upon the ocean that
rocks every swimmer in its deep chatnber-
upon every penclled shell that sleeps in the
caverns of the deep, no less than upon the
mighty sun that warns and cheers millions
of creatures that live in its light on his
works he has written, 60 None Of us iveth
to himself" And probably were we wise
enough to understand these works, we should
find there is nothing from the cold stone IN
earth to the minutest creature that breathes,
which may not in some way or other, adj
minister to the happiness of some living
creature. We admire and praise the flower
that best answers the end for which 1t was
created, and the tree that bears fruit the
most rich and abundant, the star that is most
useful in the heavens we admire the most.
And is it not reasonable that man, to whom
the whole creation, from the flower up to
the spaDgled heavens, all mnister-man,
who has power of comforting deeper misery
and higher happiness than any being on
earth-man, who can act like God if he will,
is it not reasonable that he should live for
the noble end of liying-not for himself, but
for others.-N. D. Picayune.

yOLCAN DE TOLUCA.

The following account of an expedition
to the Snow Mountain, in Mexico, prepared
| by an officer of the Fourth Artillery, who
made one of the party, was originally pub
hshed in g The Outpost Guard" a small
American paper printed in Toluca:
/ Having breakfasted, and the day being
/ fair, not cloud obscuring the horizon, our
pans, kettles, meats, and eatabes OF all
kinds were slowed away in our wagons, to-
gether with the knapsacks and blankets OF
about fifty men who had volunteered from
the Fourth Artiley to accompany US, and at
about eight O'Clock on the morning of the
I 18th of March we started upon our expedi-
ton TO the Snow Mountain of Touca. In
about two hours we reached the hacienda of
| Guadalupe, passing the little hill of Tlaco-
tepec on our left. Procuring guides here
we continued on, and with our wagons, en-
tered some three miles into the pine forest
that encircles the mountain, and there BIZ
vouacked for the night. Some tWoOr three
tents, brought in the wagons, were pitched,
houses of pine tree boughs were built, aud
in short time the place had the appearance
of small village. Huge fires sprung up all
around as if by magic, aud soon every one
was employed in cooking, making bowers,
bringing water from small stream near by,
or hunting dry wood for the fires. All was
hustle, life, aud hlarty.
The sun soon set, and the wind now com
menced blow ing, bringing up huge masses
of clouds, that, as the night set IN, rainy
and starless, seemed TO fiji every one with
Responding and anxiety for the weather on
the morrow. The cold was severe, aud we
continued sitting round our fires, making
merry with chocolate and hot punches until
late hour, when, one by one, the party
stole off, to sleep as comfortably as the
number Of blankets each man had brought
would permit him.
I The next morning before sunrise every
one had prepared his own breakfast. my
self then thought that nothing could have
tasted sweeter than cup Of chocolate OF
my own make aud the leg Of a chicken
Breakfast over, our EOrse= were saddled,
and the guides leading, we were soon on
our winding way, pursuing narrow path
through the forest which seemed TO me inter-
inIBalie.
+ As We had feared, the morning was cloudy,
and The mist so dense that we could scarcely
see the guides before US. The trees became
smaller and more stunied as we proceeded,
aud finally disappeared altogether. We
then emerged into sort OF Wild ascending
prairie, covered with long rank growth OF
grass, which had the appearance, from To-
luca, Of banks Of sand. Continuing on over
This prairie for some three miles we arrived
at the foot Of a steep hill. On reaching the
top Of this we found that we we're now only
separated from the highest peaks by a deep
intervening valley. Passing through tnis

The Robbery at Washington.

Thecorresp Of the n. Y. Post thus
explains the late robbery of valuable Jewels
at the Patent Office:
The robber broke open the double glass
case and took away with him the several
beautiful and rich presents TO our govern
rnent in 1910, by the lmaum of Muscat, the
Jars Of otto Of roses, the jewelled daggers,
the very valuable gold aud diamond snnti
boxes, presented by the Emperor of Russia
aud other sOvereigns, 10 our ambassadors,
the beautiful and valuable scabhard 10 a
sword brought home as present hy Com
modore Blddle, from bis voyage about the
world, valuable pearl necklace, and one
or two other specimens Of extraordinary
large shells, and the whole series Of gold
and silver medals belonging TO the office,
which were deposited III the case. The
thief then let himself down ont Of one Of the
front windows to the ground, and by NOR
ming the coast was clear Of Jewels aud
thieves.
The New York Commercial says:
The thieves probably managed % conceal
one of their number, for several Of them
were undoubtedly confcderated, IN the room
Yesterday afternoon, before it was locked up
Tor the night and finished their work at lei
sure between midnight aud morning.

The threat of the closet was generally

Tommy slowly disrobed himself, while
his mother, fretted to the point of resolution,
eyed him with uurelenling aspect. The
Jacket and trousers were removed and the
night drawers ordered to be put on in their
stead, Tommy all the while protesting, tear
fully, THAT he had done nothing.
"Will you husbi" was all the satisfaction
he received for his protestations.
"Now, Jane, lake him up stairs TO bed.
He's got to lie there all the afternoon"
Ii was then four, aud the sun did not set
until near eight O'Clock. Up stairs the poor
child had to go, and then his mother took
some quiet. Her babe slept soundly in the

she enjoyed new novel to the extent of al

Gain of a Loss---A Dear Game.

refusal on the part of the lady to reciprocate
the sentiment, hut Of probable imputation of
Glercenary motives by her friends. Miss
g, however, had sufficient penetra-
ton to discover the genuine and disinterest-
ed motives of the swain and the highly
praseworthy sensitiveness which caused
him to shrink from its avowal She was by
no means indisposed to encourage his suit,
but the consciousness of his comparative
poverty, rendered more than ordinary en-
eouragement given by a lady to her sutton
necessary to stimulate his courage TO pro-
pound the decisive inquiry. How was she
then, to give expression TO her sentiments
regarding him, without at the same time
overstepping the bounds of maiden nodes

what stake shall we play?" asked Mr.. l..

SANTA ANNA AND AMERICANS DUX.

Fuit Mexicanus homo.
Santa Anna was his name, 0.

Dark complexioned, whiskerandi,''
"Whole hog" Mexicans were under,
This bellicosus son of thunder.
Viginti thousand ragged brutes,
Half starved, not clothed, ct sine boots,
Fame, non fauna, driven on,
AIiserrinus set to look upon.
Santa Anna-antedictus,
QIomo qui never yet has licked us,)
Multum jactatus that he would
Split Taylor into kindling wood,
Marched boldly up-confding in
Those twenty thousand scamps, TO win,
The bloody pugnam, and to crack
Alike the head and hopes of "Zack."
Tam little novit Santa Anna,
OF our brave boys who never ran "a
Way from Diabolus vetus ipse
Much less from such half-starved and tipsy,
Swarthy, diminutive Mexicani
But always whipped them, few or many,
Ampud Saltilum Taylor fnit;
1t seems that Santa Anna knew it;
So led his copias straight up to it,

Auditus their old cracked drums rattle,
Made loving haste to give him battle,

Four times as numerous squad!
In numero trusting, on he comes,
With squeaLing flies and kettle drums.

Firmly resolved to die or take it.
Sed Taylor fortiter stood his ground;

A much more pleasant kind of game,

And in retreaiing, led the van;
Relinquit aliquos on the field,
To most their long legs proved shield.
Our gallant Taylor is no fool,
Semper paratus-ever cool
He's given the Msxicans to their pain,
Such charming fits, and will again.
Noster advice to Santa Anna,
Is that he go hack to Havana;
Or if he's still resolved to WELD,
His trenchant blade on battlefield,
Jactare less-pugnare more
Or he I'll get fogged as oft before.

A MINUTE JogE.---The other day, some
difficulty occurred in one of our courts,
which occasioned a short suspension OF busi-
ness. The Judge asked the reason and tho
clerk replied that he 'was looking for the
minutes" Some further time passed, and
ut last the Judge with some impotence said
sit appears to me Mr.. Clerk, that we are
losing the minutes instead Of finding them"

dignity, and we with pleasure state that this

COMING ON OF WINTER.

''Thus in some deep retirement would pass
The winter glooms, with freods Of plant soul,
OF blithe. or solemn the theme inspired
The days are fast drawing in, and those
who are fond Of summer, its green fields
and its sunshine aud who rejoice in the gol-
den ripeness Of Autumn, are beginning to
deplore the change in the season. In the
country, the "lesf incessant rustles from
the mournful grove.'' aud the decaying yet
still interesting face of nature, wears the
sober look of age. The raig prevents our
pleasant strolls, and the umbrella Is taken
out with Us. as a matter-of-course cOmpaR-

countenances, and invites US to rami,le, the
falling foliage of the trees, ia all its varied
hues of decay, reads a moral to our hearts,
and points 10 the ripeness of our days, the
feeble step, the fullness, and the tomb.
