The editor Of the Chicago Journal has a
way Of dressing up and ornamenting even
subjects trifling in themselves, which makes
them peculiarly rich.and taking. Here is a
delicious scrap from recent issue Of that

volume of cloud, like the van Of storm !;

the wood, with its train of car after car and

Il can't be Helped.

" II can't be helped. is one Of the thou
sand convenient phrases which men cheat
and deceive themselves. 1t is one on which
the helpless aid the idle take refuge as the
last and only comfort-it cant be helped.
Your energetic man is for helping every
thing. If he sees an evil. and clearly dis.
Germs its canse, he is Tor taking steps forth
with TO remove it. He bnsies himself with
ways and means. devises practical plans and
methods, and will not let the world rest
until he has done something in remedial
way. The indolent man spares himself all
this trouble. He sits with his arms folded,
and Is ready with his unyarying obserya-
ton, g Il can't be helped I" as much as TO
say, Ii it is, il ought to be, and VIC need
