quite an amusing incident occurred
The palace cars need custom The
common cars are few and crowded, and
those who would be comfortable arc
compelled to pay extra. and have seat
in the palace saloon. Several gentlemen
stood. A lady took whole seat to her
self, and piled up her baggage on the
spot whore weary gentlemen would be
glad to repose. The lady left her seat
for a moment and went to the rear, \
gentleman at once went for it, piing
the bags on the seat the lady had occu
pied, and sat down. All watched the
operation. Soon the lady came on with
a quick step. She came to halt and
said : Sir, you have my seat. Il think
not your luggage is on your seat |

minutes. The intruder was quietly
rcading-.the only one in the car not
absorbed in the affair. The silence was
painful. AT last the woman gave way

often occupy the prominent places in

sorely in need Of money, and they are
strongly tempted to abandon their hard
pursuit of remote success, and turn
into the hy~way, where easy incomes
are to be acquired with little effort
But if they hold on they will in the
end achieve both fortune and reputation
enough to compensate for all their self
denial There are many men found
lamenting in later life that they did
not select that vocation which their
youthful instincts and preferences indi

rFrom the New Jersey Mcdaniel


AS rule every young man should
adopt that vocation in life for which he
is best fitted he should DO thar which
he can do best. What this is will pretty
surely be revealed to him by the cx,
preston of his aptitude. There are
many youths Of versatile geuiu- who
seem to have an equal capacity for all
calllngs, and no especial aptitude for
any; and We sometimes encounter one
who seems to be unit for nything, and
out Of whom nothing can be made.
There are few of the latter class, and
concerning them we have nothing to
advise. The versatile, all sided class
may select their vocation at random,
or yield themselves mp to the influence
and direction of accidents if they will
their talents will guarantee them
against failure, provided, after they
have chosen their profession or trade,
they stick faithfully to it, aud turn all
their versatile capacities into the pur
suit Of it. But the great mass Of young
men develop a desire or preference for
a particular calling this preference is
the safe instinct to follow it is the
fuger- board that points out the road
for one to pursue, and as general rule
the road it points out ought to be
adopted. The difficulty is, that in this
impatient age the first thing he desires
to do after he reaches The age OF
twenty -one. is to make money; and in
obeying this impulse he is apt to lose
sight of the calling that he is best fitted
for. The laborIous trades aud profess
sons and trades that require much
study and experience do not yield
money at the beginning; their harvests
are in the future and the temptation
to abandon them aud turn to the vari-
Gus vocations that require little prepar-
alton and that yield fair income at the
outset, is hard to resist. But it ought
to be remembered that he is not the
most successful in the end who com
mences to be successful frs:. The
smart boy who begins to make money
while yet in his teens, and is pointed
out as an example to others, very fire.
quently fails to exhibit proportionatc
capacity as a man, as preeocious talent
soon exhausts itself, and the smart boy
does not become smart man. The
cases in which men have met with any
very decided success in any occupation
or profession have almost always been
those for which they have shown
great prediction and they have en-
gagged in it frequently under the most
discouragiDg circumstances, and pur
sued it persistently, when ordinary men
would have abandoned 1t in despair
They found their reward in their labor;
and if they were progressing towards
their goal, it mattered little to them
whether they were accumulating a
golden store or not. They work for the
future, taking good care to make dill
gent use of the present, we'll satisfied
that the future would bring its reward
Such men hardly need to be pointed to
their goal it is shrined in their inmost
hearts; what they most need is words
or encouragement and cheer, coupled
with suggestive advice lest they faint by

FIGURES VERSUS THEORY.
Figures are always a crushing argu>
ment when brought to bear upon ain
unstable theory. The Democrats have
theory that they can run the United
States Government "A great deal cheaper
than it is being done by the RepubIi-
eau party. But when we come to
compare the work Of the two political
parties in the light Of figures aud ex~
pericncc, the Democratic theory rum
bles into dust under the force Of Re

party. although claimed not to be per

The marked and steady decrease of
| the national indebtedness during the
past few years has not been attended
by an increase Of the burdens Of taxa
tion upon the shoulders Of the people,
a. is clearly apparent by the following
! figures, which show the several reduc
tions Of internal taxes aud of customs

been largely decreased; all current
obligations have been promptly met
important permanent improvements
have been provided for; and, among
other Departments, the postal service
has been materially increased in extent
and efficiency, while its comparative
expenditures have been reduced in q
marked degree.
Is it matter Of surprise that, in the
face of these overwhelmingly convlnc-
ing proofs Of the integrity Of the Re.
publican Administration, and the pros

Ono Of tho most terrible tragedies ever
enacted in Central New York occurred at
East frankfort, on Monday night. A
grey-headed man, sixty four years Of
age, Dyer Pangburn, murdered his wife,
who was about forty-four years old, in
the kitchen OF their own house, with Q
heavy potato-masher, literally crushing
in tho left side Of her head 80 that the
brain oozed out He then went to n
bnrn on the same premises and delibe-
rately hung himself.
The WHARTON MYSTERY. Ono suspi-
cion in regard to this affair has been
cleared away. The physician who exn-
mined the stomach OF Henry &. Whar-
ton, ono of tho alleged victims, reports
that he found no traces of poison. Thus
tho charge against Mrs. Wharton, Of
poisoning her own sou, falls to tho
ground.
