The growing greatness of BENZ. F.
Butler is beginning to alarm some of his
political associates. They seem TO say
that B. F. is very good in his place, but
there is a good deal of uncertainty as to
his proper place. As a general snarler
and GROWER, and universal snapper, he
does very well in the mob-Ocratic assem-
blage now known as the House of Rep
resentatiyes at Washington. But he has
won such notOriety in these personal pc
culiarities that he is beginning to look
abroad and have higher aspirations. We

A SkuiKing Soldier Cured.

I REMEMBER the apparently painful
condition of soldier whose right leg was
drawn up at an angle from the knee--the
result of rheumatism, he insisted. He was
known to be skulker, and several sur
geons had examined the limb and found
no appearance of contraction Of the mus
cles; but all their efforts to pull it into
shape were useless. Some OF them became
convinced by the stubbornness of the
member, insisted that 1t could not be
flexed, and advised the mans discharge.
DIR. H., however, had seen much of the
same difficulty in hospitals, and put in
practice mode of treatment which he
had seen successfully tried in several
cases. The man, by his direction, was
brought over to the division hospital and
confronted with the surgeon and two as
sistants with their sleeves rolled up.

of your difficulty, my man." said the doc

tearing away from those who held him, he

The Feverish Pursuit Of Money.

THE devotee to the god Mammon must,
If he desires success, devote every hour OF
his life-apsrt from the few daily hours
applied to eating and sleeping-in getting
and keeping other mems earnings, and in
doing this, other mems wants and suffer
ing are ignored and the human in his ma
ture is blunted. He cannot enjoy the
pleasures Of life, not even the air he
breathes, the food he eats, or the water he
drinks. Wife and children are to him q
very secondary consideration.
The feverish pursuit Of wealth is to be
deprecated and avoided by all men whose
desire it Is to Give while they live"
Money, grant you, Is q requirement in
LIES travels, but in getting II make haste
slowly, very slowly. Do not start in life
with the intention Of accommodating for
tune and then retiring to enjoy it. This
retiring on the getting OF q fortune is one
of the great mistakes of life, for no man
or woman should think of retiring from
hfe's work until they retire to their
graves. The man who lives true and
pure life, works until he Is forty, sixty, or
ninety years Of age-every day Of his life,
until the day comes when, tired of LIES
work, he longs and desires to leave this
world, and he lies down to sleep, and in
sleeping, without fear or pain, his soul
escapes to higher realms.
Do not let the getting of money inter.
fere with your endeavors for true life.
Get it by all legitimate means, but get
only what is required for your present
wants and to guard against prospective
accidents. In doing this you insure more
practical enjoyment and happiness than
ever was dreamed of by the man whose
sole object in lie IL the getting Of money.
