The RESULT OF APPLICATION =
Seek to acquire the power of contin-
uous application, without which you
cannot expect success. If you do
this, you will be able to perceive the
distance which it creates between YOU
and those who have not such habits.
You will not count yourself, nor will
they count you, as one Of them. Thus
you will find yourself emerging into
the higher regions Of intellectual and
earnest mcn-men who arc capable of
making place for themselves, in.
stead of standing idly gaping, dcsir-
ing q place without the power to COM
mand it. Keep on striving to accom-
plish more and more every day, and
thus enlarge constantly the range of
your intellectual ability. If YOU
learn to do as much work in one day
as you used to do in two or three
days, you arc as good as two or three
such men as you formerly we're, boil
ed to one. DIR. JVaylund.

\ subscription paper is being made for
the relief Of Mrs. Summers, whose little
boy was killed and horribly msugled by
the cars Of the Illinois Central railroad
The railroad employees are held entirely
blsmeless In the matter, as the little boy
was seated under the cars when the train
commenced moving and was not seen
until the trucks were in the act Of passing
through his body. It's, therefore, the
EXTREMIST folly to even talk about any
responsibility attaching to the railroad
company.
Mrs Summers is widow woman, in
very INDECENT circumstances, who is still
charged with the care Of three children,
the eldest of whom is not over seven
years Of age. She IL, therefore, deserv.
ing object OF charity, and we hope that
citizens 70 whom application is made,
will extend such as assistance as they
can, ifit amountto no more than twenty
five cents.

A violent Death.

A fisherman living in one of the little
seventy. nine boats lying at our wharf,
died on Saturday night, in the most hor-
rible agonies. 1t is said that he had par
taken heartily during the day Of fish,
water-meIlons and stimulants. He was
attacked by violent purging, which Was
succeeded by cramps, which continued
up to the hour of his death. 1t was, IN.
doubtedly, case of cholers-morbus. As
many OF our colored people subsist upon
q similar diet, II is . matter for surprise
that considerable number Of them have
not gone tho way of tho fisherman.
