Fame.

If all who are smitten with the love of
fame could become personally acquainted
with few really faynocs people, their eyes
would be speedily opened. They would
find that the urel-crowneQ goddess VINO
seemed 50 charming and so encl- snslng 70
them was utterly ignored and untl- ougnt
of by those who had secured her em. es'
They would find that scarcely any fact
appeared of less value to such people than
the fact that they were famous They
would find them working hard and pain
fully for the development of some great
idea, or the accomplishme of some great
task for his own sake, and without the
slightest reference to the admiration their
labors might happen to excite in the minds
OF men, There are men who live for
fame, and who are merely famous without
the greatness ON which true fame can alone
be based but q single glance at the inner
life of such men would be sufficient to re-
veal the utter hollowness of such q life
and its entire lack of capacity to satisfy
the mind.
9aAgassiz is truly great man, but what
does he care for the gaping crowd that
wonders at learning. His absorption in
his work is so complete that, in addition
10 the love of fame, another of the ruling
passions Of the human mind has lost its
influence over him. When urged to
devote portion of his time to lecturlng on
account of his great popularity and the
amount of money he would be sure to
derivs from the plan, he replied, q have
no time to make money"
a5What did Beethoven care for fame
Once on a;certain occasion when he wasin
despair by reason of his increasing deaf
ness, and he was almost tempted to COM
NIT suicide, he says: Art-she alone
she held me back. Oh it seemed to me
impossible to quit this world before had
accomplished all of which felt myself
capable, and therefore I preserved this un-
happy life" - g
Itisneedless to multiply instances Our
position is abundantly verified by facts.
Therefore we say to our friends: Do not
be haisled by the glitter of popular ap
plause The approval of thoughtful and
judicious friends Is worth more than the
senseless shouts of the whole world. Be
sides, there Is only one way in which true
fame can be achieved, and that is by doing
ones work well.--Hsao Fork -Music0l

Domestic Economy.


EzrRAvAeAEr parents must expect to
have extraxagant children, and when
masters and mistresses do not economize,
they can scarcely expect the servants to
do so.7 fI5
There is vast difference between econ
omy and stinginess. The former is laud-
able-the latter despicable. Prudent per
sons who study their expenses closely are
likely to set aside three-tWentieths of their
yearly income for contingencies; six
twentieths for household expenses; three
twentieths for servants and amusements;
four-twentieths for education of children,
personal expenses, ETC.; and four-twen-
tieths for rent wear and tear Of furni-
ture, insurance, etc. For example, sup
expend 5000 for food, $500 on servants,
etc, 500 on family and personal expenses,
800 for rent, while there remains $500
for an accommodating fund. If your IN
come is fuctuating, be sure and set aside
six-twentieths of It for reserve fund, and
divide the rest of the income as above.
There is a great deal in management.
Some housekeepers will make $2,0OO
go farther than others will $4,000
The habit of spending money need
lessly, in the qualification of host OF
imaginary wants, is one into which
our young men and women are too apt to
fall. The folly of this they can see and
acknowledge, and yet they have not the
resolutions to pursue different course.
We call upon all our readers who are not
blessed with abundant means to ponder
upon these things-to abstain from pres
ent expenditures, and lay up stated
amount of their income every year.
There is many q man who keeps him
self poor by ipdulging in the following
trifing expenses:
Two glasses of ale day, at ten cents
seventy three dollars per year.
Three cigars day, at ten cents each
one hundred and nine dollars and nifty
cents.
Making nearly $500 worse than thrown
away, since malt liquor and the nicotine
stupefy the brain.
That 5000 would pay the premium upon
a life insurance for the benefit of wife and
children, or it would save, perhaps, an
oyerburdened mother from needless toll
in her old age. 1t is pitiful to think of
the tens and hundreds of thousands OF
dollars which are yearly consumed in
smoke and in liquors (which debase and
bruitify man, who was made a little
lower than the angels" Well might
Jeremiah say: "God made man upright,
but he hath sought out many inventions.

To make these squares, we begin by
placing No. 1 in the middle place in
the top row; we then put No. at the
bottom of the next row to the right,
and oblique upward toJ the right with our
next figures, until we I'LL the place In the
last perpendicular row, when we carry
our next figure to the left hand place on
the horizontal row next above it; we
again oblique upward to the right, until
we reach either to the top or filed
place-if to the top, we place our next
figure at the foot of the next row to the
right, and oblique upward as before, to
the right; if to filed place, we put our
next number directly under the last one
made, and obhque upward to the right, as
before, until we come to the top, filed
place, or the last row on the right-if the
latter, we go to the left place on the hori-
zontal row next aboYe-and so on to the
end, when the highest and last number
will be found at the foot of the row con-
tanning No. /. When we get to the top
place on the right hand column, we can
not drop to the bottom of the next row
to the right, as there is none, and there
fore place our next number under the last
one made, and then go to the top of the
left-hand column.
And now, having shown what has been
done in forming these squares, we will
give few of our own thoughts upon the
matter, and, although onered Tor pas
time, we have the hope that they will
be found worthy of consideration. We
have said that the WGUeTley COM
binatfon was formed without rule. This
we repeat but we have discovered how
similar ones may be formed, and how to
know the exact number any square-be ii
odd or even numbered, large or small
should contain when the numbers are
added conseeutively together, as well as
the total of each column, horizontal, per
pendicuIar, or diagonal Thus, to find
what the square should contain, we mul
