who was loaded with the mUsh made q

with another motion apparently put
them into the pocket containing the

CAPTAIN HALL, the Arctic explorer,
during his five Years absence among the
EsqUimaJIx, naturally got rather behind
hand in his knowledge of what was 90
ing ON in civilized quarters, and since
his return to New York has been busiiy
occupied in reading up the files of the
POrld in order to inform himself f0f what
has transpired in this long hiatus. It is
difficult to realize what condition n
man must be in who is ignorant of the
completion of the Atlantic Cable and
Pacific Railroad, and had never heard
Of the war in Spain, the Cuban rpvOlu-
ton, the international bOdt-Tace, and -

the other hand, lis some compensation

that he has escaped some trials. He
has not had tOWitness President Grants

Coliseum, and has not been under the
necessity OF reading either PartOn's de
fensC Of the Washington lobby, Mrs.
Stoves Byron scandal, nor, last but
not least, Horace Greclcy'S articles on
political economy. As the Italian crim-
iual, mentioned by Macauly, preferred
the eGalleys for life TO reading through the

seed Of Wisdom.

The smoke Of mans own house Is
| better than the fire of another's.
The best bank is the bank Ofearth Il
never refuses to discount to honest labor.
And the best shares, on which dividends
are always liberal,
Memory prcsides over the past; action
over the present. The first lives in q rich
temple hung with trophies, and lined
with tOmbs: the other has no shame but
duty, and walks the earth like a spirit.
A room with pictures in it, and q room
without pictures, differ by nearly as
much as q room with windows and "a
room without windows. Nothing, we
think, IS more melancholy; particularly
to q person who has to pass much time
in his room, than blank walls and
nothing ON them, for pictures are loop
holes of escape to the soul leading it to
other scenes and to other spheres.
GOodfwOrIls are not the cause, but the
fruit Of Justification. The tree maEcth
the apple, but not the apple the tree.
This life is like an inn, in which the
soul spends few moments on its Jour
ney.
\ sure mode of fneYer succeeding with
your own plans is to give much attention
to those of other people.
The shadows of the mind are like
those Of the body. In the morning of
life they are all behind Us, and as we
progress toward an early maturity they
hasten with us until we trample them
under our feet, as the suns shadow at
noon and in the decline of years they
stretch out deepening through the vista
on the verge of time.
