THE SIMPLE SEcRET.-Twenty clerks
in store, twenty hands in a printing of
fee, twenty apprentices in a spipyard,
twenty young men in a village-all want
to get up in the world, and all expect to.
One of the clerks will become a partner
and make fortune one of the compos-
itors will own newspaper and become
an influential citizen one of the appren-
tices will become a master builder one
Of the young villagers will get hand
some farm and live like patriarch but
which one is the lucky individual p
Lucky There is no luck about it. The
thing is almost as certain as the rule of
three. The young fellow who distances
his competitors is he who masters his
business, who preserves his integrity,
who devotes his leisure to the acquisition
of knowledge, who gains friends by de-
serving them, and who saves his spare
money. There are some ways to fortune
shorter than this old duty highway, but
the staunch men of the community, the
men who achieve something really worth
having, good name and serene old age,
all go in this road.

HOW TO GET UP AN EXPLOSION.

Here is a sketch in the new Mark Twain
and Danbury- Man vein, from the Reese
River Reueille, which is as we'll told as
the best Of them can do:
A festive youth, who performs his daily
avocation in the mines of Lander Hill,
thought he would take home little blast
ing powder the other day; it might come
handy to split an obstinate log he had at
home. As he started for his humble cab
in in the evening, he wrapped few
ounces carefully in several thicknesses of
paper and put it in his pocket. When he
got home he got to thinking about how
long it would be before he was likely to
get a crushing; and then he thought what
nice perfume that handkerchief extract
that he bought last Saturday night had,
and he said within himself that miners
life was sad and uncertain. And then he
thought he ought to call on that Smithers
girl tonight. He thought of everything
but that powder in the pocket of his coat.
After supper he concluded to drop in
and see that Smithers girl. He got his
necktie in proper shape, his handkerchief
was perfimed like unto a new blown
rose one oiled lock hung gracefully down
on his forehead, and he started for the
domicil of his sweetnes This young
man is coloring meerschanm, but his
girl detests the horrid smoke; so when he
got to the door he knocked the bowl of
his meerschaum on his manly heel, and
put it in his pocket. OF course he didn't
intend to put it in the same pocket with
the powder. His affinity met him at the
door with sweet smile on her beauteous
countenance, welcomed him to her pater-
nal mansion, and invited him into the
parlor and to seat on the sofa.
They were engaged in conversation.
He asked her if it wasnta beautiful even
ing, and then she inquired how he liked
the dress Miss Brown wore at church last
Sunday. He said that he didn't like it o
bit, and she remarked that Miss B. was O
stuek-up thing anyhow; and all this time
that pipe was insidiously burning its way
through that paper. lie agreed that Miss
B. wdS somewhat stuck-up, and said
maybe we'd strike it pretty soon and then
you'd see who would wear plug hats. She
told him she thought plug hats so becom-
ing, and then he was going to tell her he
adored her, that she was the darling oi
his soul, and that all his happiness was
centered in her No. z boots but he was
interrupted. He rose from the floor and
inquired if the lightning had struck any
one else, and remarked some thing about
the Virginia explosion being a warning
to people not to keep nitro glycerine in
their houses. Then he took off his coat.
He said it was an old coat. and he didn't
want it nohow. His girls father suggest
ed that it wasn't Fourth of July and il
he wantedto set off fireworks to go up or
the hill and do it. Then the young mar
said it was getting late, and he guessed
he'd go home, and suggested that ht
wonld send man around tomorrow tc
fix the sofa. He says now that flax seed
isn't worth a cuss for poultice, and he
hain't going to call on that Smithers ga
any more; she's most too high toned, and
thinks herself too good for miner any
how

A RIDE ON A LOCOMOTIVE" Could
we ride with the driver ?" "You won't
find it so pleasant as you imagine, but
you can try it," The conductor signals,
the engineer grasps one of the mysterious
levers, which puts him en- rapport with
the modern behemoth, and the docile
monster whisks away as if rejoicing in
the lightness of the play-day train behind
him. AS our speed increases we become
painfully aware that we are not on springs.
The easy swing of the car does not pertain
to the locomotive, which jumps to its
work with rioting, trampling, trip-ham
mer energy that disdains the thought of
ease and softness. We cannot keep our
feet, and find it hard to keep the high and
narrow, slippery seat with nothing 10
hold on. The speed seems terrific. The
country no longer glides away from us
with drifting motion-itrushes on us like
a thunderbolt. The trees and houses
have whirling motion, fierce, tumultu-
Gus maddening, as though which we are
momentarily escaping. We shrink as
the track cuts under us and huge rocks
by the wayside seem flying at U.S.
Ahead is n curve. What is beyond it :?
We watch the disclosing line with pc
culiar fascination, for terrible possibilities
are ever just out of sight. Gradually our
senses become used TO their new expert
ence, and we are willing to forego our
useless vigilance. On the right the river
flows like river in a vision-noiseless
swift and strangely calm. On the left
hills waltz and reel, bearing down on the
track like an avalanche. Above, the
fiery clouds betoken the close of brill
liant day, but it makes us dizzy to look at
them. 1t is pleasanter to study the steady
poise of the driver. Alert, self-possessed,
unpretending, he sees every inch of the
track by flashes of observation, lets out
or restrains the headlong energy of the
all but living engine, and holds the lives
of US all with a grasp as true as is seem
ingly unconscious. We plunge into the
shadow of the Kittatinny mountain,
pierce the point of rocks that projects into
the river. and stop amid confusion OF
backing trains, shricking engines and
shouts of trackmen. We are at Bridge
port, and as soon as the bridge is clear
we shall cross to Harrisburg. 81 shall
have realizing sense of my obligation to
the engine driver after this" remarked
the untraveled man, as we climbed down
from the locomotive; "and a wholesale
respect for bis skill and courage. Serb

HUSBANDS will need to be particularly
circumspect in the future. A lady in
Aurora, Illinois has sued her husband for
a divorce based upon the revelations of
the spirits. The latter have informed her
that her husband is not what he ought to
be, and on their testimony she has gone
to law about it. Whether these witnesses
will be deemed competent to testify in
an earthly court of justice will doubtless
depend largely on the religious views of
the jury and the judge. In the mean
time the husband has cited his wife to
appear in court and answer to the charge
of insanity.

not prepared for what we nov know to
be the dreadful result. Our city hospi-

city authorities. too, could not realize the
possibilities of the scourge as they nov
