Ambition TO BE First.

The mere desire of personal success
in life which the Italians call "Iambiz-
lone de primeg@iare," is puerile enough
If il is the. end in itself. TO see a
crowd standing gazing, cap in hand
because there goes by dummy wrap
ped mp in gold and silver, is sorry
show of its kind; and to work for this
as the great goal to be attained, with
pain and toll in the transit-is but a
mean exercise of power. The ambi-
ton TO make the best pins that have
yet been out, or TO give the high st
polish of which calfskin is capable by
its nature, is noblel desire than this.
Yet ordinary ambition has for the most
past no higher aim than this gaping
crowd standing, cap in hand, as one
passes in the shining envelope which
hides the true character of the crea-
ture with from the eyes it dazzles aud
the perceptions it betrays. So that it
d o $ really depend on t he
object of ones ambition whether it is
reputable or no. IT it comes simply to
a balance at ones bankers, that bay
window in the drawing room, a pony
carriage to take one to or from the
station, wife with Il better gown than
her neighbours, it is but a miserable
kind OF thing on which to spend the
energies of ones lite. And granting
that the modest balance comes to be Il
millionnaire's warm nest egg, and the
wife's better gown, diamonds that out
blaze the Esterhazy, the object is none
the less intrinsically mean because its
outside measurement is increased.
Every true man feels in his own con-
science that all this, though pleasant
| to the senses, is not the tiual cause of
his powers; and that he was born for
something better than the fleslpots--
even though those fleshpots be of gold,
set round wi h precious els 4.
Without denying the value of what is
called "easy circumstances" aud while
acknowledging the righteousness of
sntficiency-sui1iciency to pay ones
way, to educate ones children, to help
ones poorer friends, to keep ones
household in health, aud nineteenth
century respectabiity-we yet main
tain that 'to get on in lfe," is not the
only thing for which man should
live; and that the soul focused on
making money only is sure to be very
shabby dirty little sonl, no matter
what the grandeur of its surroundings.
The ambition of that kind of person.
al distinction which some call fame
and Others notoricty, is only the bay
window and the pony carriage in an
other form. 1t is to be the dummy
stared at by the crowd for having doue
something. irrespective of the worth OF
the thing done. And the applause is
equally hollow in both cases. And
yet how greedily that applause is GOV.
eted! Let it be the clash Of a brass

THE EVENING HEARTusT0NE.
BY MARY.

Gladly now we gather round it,
For the toiliDg day is done,
And the gray and solemn twilight
Follows down the golden sun;
Shadows lengthen on the pavement,
Stalk like giants through the gloom
Wander past the dusky easement,
Creep around the fire-lit room:
Draw the curtains-close the shutters
Place the slippers by the fire
Though the rnde wind loudly mutters
What care we for wind-sprite's ire?
What care we for outward seeming
Tickle fortunes frown or smile,
If around us love is beaming,
Love can human ills beguile.
Meath the cottage roof and palace,
From the peasant to the king,
All are quaffing from life's chalice
Bubbles that enchantment bring:
Crates are glowing-music flowing
From those lips we love the best;
Oh, the joy, the bliss of knowing
There are hearts on which to rest.
Hearts that tllrob with eager gladness-
Hearts that echo to our own
With which care and haunting sadness
Mingle nc'er in look or tone:
Care may tread the halls of daylight
Sadness haunt the midnight hour
But the weird and Witching twilight
Brings the glowing hearthstcne's
dover:
Altar Of our hottest feelings
Childhood's well remembered shrine
Spirit-yeainings, soul-revealings,
Wreaths immortal round thee Irvine

THE HUmoRs OF MOVING.

The first Sunday in the new house is a
notable day. There is an entire absence
OF the old landmarks, and a strange,
weird newness on everything, and you
can't find your shaving soap. You start
for a scuttle Of coal, but you don't see
the scuttle. II is in the bottom of a bar
rel In the garrett. You take the dripping
pan. When you change your shirt you
look for it first. 1t is in one OF the eu-
reau drawers, which are piled upon one
another in the parlor, and you find you
have got to lift a half ton OF carpets and
feather beds before you can get down to
the drawers. After you have lifted them
down and searched them through, it is
remembered by your wife that the de
sired garment is in one Of the barrels
the one in the shed, she thinks, though
II may be the n in the garrett, and yet
IL would be Just like the stupid carman
to have carried that barrel down into the
cellar. A bed quilt comes out first, then
q pie tin, and next a piece OF cold ham,
neatly done up in your vest and packed
away in the missing scuttle. Below IS
an assortment of ironware, and a length
of stovepipe, a half loaf of bread, a
couple OF towels, and q rolling pin.
You begin to expect you will eventually
come upon q coal mine, and perhaps
some dead friend. Then you go down
in that barrel again, and come up with a
pleasing assortment Of stockings and
~half-emptied medicine bottles. The way
you come up this time leads you to con-
slider the barrel itself. II has caught in
the back of your vest and made the cloth
let 60 it took off one-half of one sleeve,
and created a sensation on the back Of
your hand as if q bonfire had ragged
there It Is quite evident that the cooper
who built that barrel was called away
before he commenced to elinch the nails.
You involuntarily grasp the rolling pin
and look around as il you half expected
10 see him. Then you call the girl to re-
pack the barrel, and start up stairs to
look after something that is easier to find
but finally change your mind and pass
the balance Of the day in digging carpet
tacks and worthless wood from the palms
Of your feet and connecting lies about
the wealth Of your uncle and the moon
looks through the window at night and
touches up with q glow Of Furnished sill
yer several lengths of s~tovepipe, a half
dozen odd chairs, a sheet Of dingy zinc
and a barrel with bed quilts foaming over
the top.-D0nbu,y Netos.

TEE SIZE OF THE ARK.

Infidels have objected to the size of
the ark have asserted that it is absurd
10 suppose that ever there could be a
vessel constructed large enough to hold
all the creatures which must have been
placed in it, with sufficient food, it may
be for six or twelve monihs-water for
the fish, corn for the four-footed animals,
seed for the birds, and so on. Now we
will take the dimensions Of the ark from
the records of Moses, and calculate them
on the lowest possible scale. There are
two definitions given to a cubit one
that is eighteen inches, or a foot and a
half, and the other that is 20 inches.
We will take it only at its lowest. Moses
states that the ark was 800 cubits long /;
this would makeit $50 feet long, or about
the length of St. Panl's Cathedral, Lon
don. The breadth he states to be so
cubits we then have it 5feetin breadth.
He states it to be 30 cubits high so that
was As feet high. In other words, it
was as long as st. Paul's Cathedral,
nearly as broad, and half as high. The
tonnage OF the ark, according to compu-
fatlon OF modern carpenters, must have
been $4,000 tons. The largest English
ship (ofa size altogether unimaginable
to those who have never seen it) is $500
tons burden SO that the ark must have
been equal to 26 frst-rate ships of war,
and if armed as such ships are, it would
have contained beyond 5000 men, and
provisions for them Is months. Button
has asserted that all four-footed animals
may be reduced to $50 pairs, and the
birds TO a still smaller number. On cal
culating, therefore, we shall find that
the ark would have held more than five
times the necessary number of creatures,
and more than five times the required
quantity of food to maintain them twelve
months.
