DEAD on the threshold Of success might very
well have been the epitaph on the living our
ial of two members of a London law firm who
recently dropped out Of life. One Of them
died of actual starvation. and the pathetic ac-
coun. Of the destituiion and misery Of his life
appeared in the London Times, and was told
so impressivelv that it attracted much atten-
ton. short time afterward his partner was
arrested for stealing a book from the law Ii
brary Of the Inner Temple, and selling it for
len shilings. The proof was clear and he
was convicted. Before receiving sentence he
said q have gone for weeks and months
without dinner, living upon bread and tea,
have sold the coat from my back, the shirt
from nv body to supply daily wants; but have
never been charged with dishonesty. ] have
worked hard on The shelves Of the Inner Tenn
pie Library There are books there Of which
/ am the author | haze done all that mortal
man could do TO obtain an honest and honor
able livelihood" He closed his story by beg
cling the Court 10 punish him 10 the extent Of
the law, hoping " 10 find, before his imprison-
meni should end in a felon's grave the repose
he had vainly sought in the pursuits Of life.
The Judge imposed on him the lightest penal
ty Of the law-six months IMPRISONMENT -
His fate is but another incident to prove that
the real poor are not the vulgar mass who beg
from door to door and at the street corners,
but the men who eat their hearts away in vain
efforts Of striving for their foothold in the
world to which their aspirations and abilities
should entitle them to.

Lucky Men.

There are thousands of persons who
believe in luck. They are generally un-
fortunate themselves, or, as they call it.
unlucky. They feel themselves sinking
and see their neighbors rising, all
through luck. They were born unlucky
and believing this, they make no par
ticular effort to stem the tide which sets
them, and so drift into hopeless failure
They watch the successful man to see
what this mythical Goddess of Fortune
bestows upon him, but fail to note the
amount of labor which he renders to
secure the goddess. Success to their
eyes is nothing but luck. Energy, am
bition, resolution, are worthless, unless
the lucky star shines upon their posses
sor. If these idle dreamers would seek
for the true cause of success, they would
and it in hard work, patient application
steady, uncompromising labor. There
is no such thing as luck. A happy
combination of circumstances, brought
about, nine times out of ten, by mans
own industry, is too often mistaken
for good luck. Some men grow rich ;
everything they touch seems to turn in
to gold but If we watch these men close
ly We shall find that it needs more than
q touch to secure gold. We shall find
them to be, as class, men of good
Judgment, sagacious untiring in their
labors, rs,deservingsueeess by the persisten,
cy with which they follow it up. Wealtf
never comes to the idlcr. Misdirected
energy may fail to secure it, but if ii
comes at all it must be deserved or won
by some special effort. If the young
man just facing the world desires to be
successful, he must make up his mind
that he is the master of his own fortune
that good luck is nothing more than the
results Of his own labor the natural re-
ward of honest and patient toll. Ex-
anime the lives of successful men, and
not drone can be found among them.
They won success because they deser-
we'd it, and deserved it because they

Never is sound of smithy or mill;
The houses are thatched with grass and

Never clock to toll the hours
The marble doors are always shut,
You cannot enter in hall or hut;
All the villagers lie asleep;
Never grain to sow or resp;
Never in dreams to moan or sigh
Silent and itRe, and low they lie. --
In that village nnder the hill,
When the night is starry and still,
Many weary sonl in prayer
Looks to the other village there,
And weeping and signing longs to go
Up to that home from this below
Longs to sleep in the forest wild.

creting my horse in case of surprise /
made my way limpingly to the vine-em-

Despite my caution my saber elinked,
and betrayed me to the white roabed
watcher I had wanted to surprise. She
came forward few steps and held out
her hand, and in the clear moonlight 1
could see bright drops gemming her
lashes.
The little hand trembled frightened
bird in my grasp. One moment held
it. And then, holding out my arms, l
said. "My darling.''-Other words have
none, the silken head was lying on my
breast, and the heavy sob that shook
her slight form told how terrible had
been the strain upon her. Then came
words rapid and eloquent, the bushes

countless kisses, soon dried the tears
upon her cheek, and when, two hours
later started for Camp Gary, Isabelle

story, and received as the reward of
merit, two days leave of absence. OF

healed up my cut with 'sweet gum
salve," or some such panacea. And
then?
Why then came hard work, long
campaign stubborn lighting at Sharps-
burg; an ugly wound in the shoulder
and weary languishing in hospital in
South Carolina.
Finally the surgeon took pity on me
and sent me to "Jezreel, to be healed
of my wound" In other words, got
me sick leave, and went home to Is

the Confederate lines.

ded, standing in the door, with tear in
her soft dark eye but brave smile upon
her lips, bidding me "come home when
the war is ended.'
And now,I prithee,gentl reader, what

The war ended, not as we hoped and
prayed, but still armed hostilities were
ended, and came home to my Isabelle

Jim. Smiths Menagerie.

A party of boys at Jim. Smiths house
were playing game that they called
Asnogerie. All the boys who never
played it before were turned into the
hall, and then, being called into the sit
ting-room one by one, asked to tell what
particular animal they most wished to
see. One boy wished to see hippopo-
tamus, another an elephant, others IT,
gers and lions; but they were one and
all led up to the looking-glass and
pointed to their own reflection, and told
that there was the animal they had ex-
pressed desire to see. This game the
boys thought very funny; and they
laughed heartily at the last boy who was
admitted into the menagerie; for he had
asked to see monkey, and looked very
much "taken down" when shown his
own self. -f ..Ht. -l.r
"Out here is old drunken Tom Cath
bone," said one of the boys, looking
from the window: Let's call him in,
and let him have a peep at an ugly-loOk-
ing animal"
SO poor old Tom, the drunkard, was
called into the room, and told to tell
what animal he wanted to see.
"Oh. show me the worst-looking
wild beast you've got," said he. "Come
show it to me; show me the beastr'
"All right, then!' said the boys, and
pushed Tom right in front Of the look
ng-glass. He stood for a moment look
ing into the glass with silly drunk
ards smile: but presently such look
of horror and sorrow passed over his
face, that the laughter of the boys was
checked; and they could not help but
pity him as he sank into chair and
covered his face with his hands.
ave didn't mean to hurt your feel
ings," said Jim. "We did the same
thing to all the boys. And, just before
you came in, Dick Willoughby asked
to see monkey, and we showed him
himself" sr
But the poor fellow looked up with q
mournful look In his bleared eyes, and
said, al am worse than beast; worse
than a BEAST"
And, after he had left them, the boys
watched him going down the street, and
from their hearts did pity poor old Tom
Cathbone; and so do we; and much We
hope that none of the dear boys whom
we now know and love may ever eomt
to be such rs he is to-day.-Tae Gem.
