devetee to the god MammOn must, if he de-
slres success devote every hour of his life
apart from the few daily hours applied to eat
ing and seeping-in getting and keeping 9TH
er mems earnings and in doing this, other
mems wants and suffering are ignored and the
human in his nature 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 very
secondary consideration.
The feverlsh pursuit of wealth is to be de-
precIted and avoided by all men whose desire
it is to live while they live" Money, |
grant you, is requirement iu life's travels,
but in getting it make haste slowly, very slow
ly. Do not start il life with the intention OF
accumulating fortune and then retiring t"
enjoy it. This retiring on the getting of Il
fortune is one of the great mistakes of life, for
no man or woman should think OF retiring from
life work until they retire to their graves.
The man who lives true and pure life, work.
until he is forty, sixty, or ninety years of age
every day of hislile, until the day comes when,
tired of lifes work, he longs and desires t.
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 interfer'
with your endcavors tor true life. Get it BY
all legitimate means, but get only what Is re.
quired tor your pre- sent wants and to guarl
against prospective accidents In doing thi,
you insure more practical enjoyment and hap

whose sole object in life is the getting Of mon

Washington, 7S.SS; PittSburg, 77.lS The

Henry Clay used to say that there were
three classes of people with whom it was new
er safe to quarrel. First Ministers; for the
reason that they could denouncs me from the
pulpit, and had none through which to re-
ply. Second Editors; for they had the most
day hurl wrath and fury upon me, and had
none through which to reply. And, finally,
with women, for they would have the last
word anyhow.

1.-THE HEATHEN CHINEE."

" Plain Language from Truthful James has
been received all over the country is somewhat
marvellous in the annals Of fugitive poetry.
Its peculiar metre, and the quaint Journalism
of expression. are alone sufficient to arrest at
tention, while the rich humor and the quiet
but unmistakable sarcasm which pervade it
imparts flavor which is readily recognized
and highly enjoyed. AS reductiO I'D dbSurdum
it is without a rival. We publish the poem
here:
PLAIN LANGUAGE FROM TRUTHFUL JAMES.
Which wish to remark
Aud my language is plain
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The heather Chinee is peculiar
Which the same ! would lise to explain
All Sin was his name;
And | shall not deny
In regard to the same
What that name might imply,
But his smile it was pensive and child like,
As frequent remarked to Bill Nye.
1t was August the third,
Aud quite soft was the skies;
Which it might be inferred
That All Sin was likewise;
Yet he played it that day upon William
And me in way despise.
Which we had small game,
And All Sin took hand
1t was Euchre. The same
He did not understand
But he smiled as be sat by the table,
With the smiles thatwere child-like and bland
Yet the cards they were stocked
In way that | grieve,
And my feelings were shocked
At the state of Nye's sleeve,
Which was stuffed full of aces and bowers,
And the Same with intent to deceive.
But the hands that were played
BY that heather Chinee,
And the points that he made
Were quite frightful to sec
Till at last he put down right bower,
Which the same Nye had dealt to me.
Then looked up at Nye,
And he gazed upon me,
And he rose with sigh
And said Can this be?
We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor =
And he went for that heathen Chinee.
In the scene that ensued
| did not take hand,
But the floor it was strewed
Like the leave on the strand
With the cards that All Sin had been hiding
La the game "h he did not understand.
In his sleeves, which were long,
He had twenty-four packs
Which was coming it strong,
Yet state but the facts
And we found on his nails, which were taper
What is frequent in tapers-thats wax.
Which 10 why | remark,
And my language IS plain.
That for ways that are dark, t
And for tricks that are vain, Il.
The heather Chinee is peculiar ~.

results corresponding with the cxpendi-
ture. Ttewas mot expected that the
new Department would work like = ma
chine from the start. But now after
many months, its last performance seems
but little II any improvement on the
fist. This is something everybody in
The city knows, and it is generally and

ment in the present protection against
fire. we have simply felt called
Upon to give expression to these
things, not from any unkind feelings
toward any member Of the present De!
partmcnt, nor from any disposition to
censurc them unjustly, but simply because
it is necessary to speak out thus plainly to
secure better protection for hccity against
what Is now an ever present danger.
The Register undertakes feebly to fix
the responsibility for tho incfticiency OF
the Fire Department on the "INTELHGEN.
GERS friends" who 1t says defeated the
proposition to have a greater number Of
men under pay. We don't know whom
this refers TO unless TO the Republican
members of Council, and when we men
ton that there were but two Republicans
in each branch of Council when the ortli.
nance organizing the Department pass
ed, that suggestion Is too ludlcrous to
require any further answer. II is not
our purpose here to discuss the merits
Of tue different systems that have
been or might be proposed. We
simply endcavor to exhibit tho fact that
the Department, as now managed. does
not afford the protection the city is enti-
tied to. If the Council can be satisfied Of
this fact, it will, no doubt, inquire dill
gently into the causes Of the existing in.
efficlency-whethor they arc in the system
itself, in the men, in the regulations adopt
cd, or in their lax enforccmcnt-and what
ever they may be, will apply a speedy
and cffectual remedy. 1t is for the
Council and its committee, rather than
the press, to investigate the details and
devise the means Of correction. Whether
the remedy shall be applied bya change
of system or a change Of men, according
ly rs the fault may be located, is entirely
immatcrial to the purpose with which we
have written. But some measures for in
vigorting the Fire Department IRE great
j. needed, and true economy calls for I'M
mediateaction.
