True Success in Life.

Human life my friends is not one
chance hut 81 thousand The special
end You toiIcd for may not he attained.
'Nhc steps you took toward that end will
prove of far greater consequence. You
are y business man, perhaps, and your
ventures have mscnrried one after the
other, and now You look sadly back
through a long vista of disappOintments
and defeat But meanwhile you are
known to be good man and true-a
kind husband and father, loyal citizen
and faithful land many man
who has passed you in the race for
wealth and fame may look with envy
upon the love and respect you have
gained by your personal character and
services, Your want of success iii bu-
sinesa life may be due to some peculiar
lack in yourself, or may result from
something adverse in your surround
ings, but remember that, while your
undertakings may fail over and over
again, you yourself may be n glorious
success. And here we touch upon the
true solution Of the whole difficulty.
We are miserable and sad over our fail,
ures in life, because we mistakenly iden-
tify ourselves with the special object we
have in view. But that is a great mis-
take. It is because we cherish this su-
perfcial philosophy of life which makes
the end supreme and counts for nothing
the steps taken toward that end, and We
produce such shallow and dishonest
tvpes of character at the present day
thesa shoddy contractors, hash-in-the-
pan generals, sensational preachers, and
olaptrap politicians. No, friends, We
have right to count effort as we'll as
effect. Not the result of course of
conduct, but the motive and nature of
it, are the nll-inportant matter. You
cannot command success, whether the
means employed be fair or foul, but it
makes o great deal Of difference to your
personal character and to your fellow
men what kind Of methods you employ.
The consequences Of your actions are a
great deal more important than the
particular end they are intended to sub
serve A good end cannot justify bad
means, for these have already reacted
upon your character, and by force of
example demoralized others also. But.
if you fail in manliness, couraga and
integrity, then oil outward successes
amount to nothing. The man himself
that is the true end, and so far as we
fall short of that ideal, we fail. Out.
ward plans depend upon thousand
contingencies, but this inner triumph
the world can never deprive You of, be-
cause the world never gave it to you.
Let us hear no more sneers then at any
want of temporal success, no deprecia-
tion of patient painstaking, or labsrious
effort No man fails who does his duty.
If yoH are conscious of n righteous pur-
pose and the use of honest methods,
you have succeeded already, whatever
may be the result-C. W. Wendte.

English Children.

The newborn English aristocrat re-
ccives, as soon as born, little bed
with q hard mattress. From its earliest
age, it is taken, warmly wrapped, into

is so unchangeable that no child thinks

Flirting as a Fine Art.

The science of society amounts to
little true art unless certain genius
goes with the knowledge; and who will
deny that there is certain natural gift
for social influence, as there is for
all beautiful arts? Some persons have
Il rare social witchery who have not any
other forms of genius, and some wo-
men. of very moderate abilities in other
respects, have an art of pleasing that
amounts to fascination. One woman in
famous attire will gather great crowd
of notables in a grand house and give
them a great supper, and all shall be
flat and dull ; while some winsome lit
tie body, without any aashy costume
or parade. and sven without rare
beauty, will entertain her circle of
guests in a charming way of her own,
and make them all at home with her
and each other. She plays upon their
various tempers and traits and associa~
tiong as master hand plays upon the
harp or piano. I have sometimes
thought that wornanly charm, and per
haps even what in the best sense is
called flirting, could be made one of
the fine arts. and consecrated to charity,
and even to religion. That bright girl
takes that half dozen striplings in
hand, and touches each in turn with
playful grace, until they are willing
captiyes to her spell, and ready to buy
her pincushions or watch chains at the
fair, or 80 to her church and worship
by her prayer-book. There is line,
indeed, beyond which this flirting
ceases tc be fine art, and becomes
quite business-like and uti tarian,
practical operati n in making % .. aasyt
| and bagging a husband--a T*asts ssst
not always ideal result. Yet, as the
world goes, great deal of true mis-
sionary work is done by charming wo-
men in managing men in an artistic and

THE EMERALDS.

One wintry afternoon in january,
away up in the bleak attic of a wretched
tenement house, pale sad eyed woman
sat sewing. The garment upon which
she was engaged was a very rich dress.
The twilight closed in rapidly, with a
binding fell of snow, bitter wailing
blast. that made the windows rattle in
their casemates. Still the pale faced
woman stitched on.
!" Mother, " piped slender voice from
the cot beneath the window, shall you
get the fine dress done 2 Oh my mother,
Tn 50 hungry, il / could only have
some tea and bit OF sausage. "
The mother worked on steadily for a
few moments, paused only to brush q
tear from her white cheek, then she
arose and shook out the glimmering
robe.
"'Tis done at last" she said "now
mothers little girl can have her supper,
only be patient little longer Flora
Ross, Ross, where are you my boy !"
A manly little fellow came out Gom
the little bed room beyond.
"The dress is done, Ross, said his
mother, and you must run home with
it as fast as ever You can. Miss Gercia
will be out of patience, / know. Tell
her / couldn't finish it one moment
sooner, and ask her to give you the
money. We must have it to night.
And you can stop in at Mr. Rays as you
come back and buy some coal, and we
must have some bread and tea, and a
mite Of butter, and You must get a sau-
sage, Ross, for poor little Flora"
"Tll get 'em all mother" he said,
and be back in no time. You shall
have big sausage, little sis, " he added,
turning toward the cot
The girl nodded her curly head, and
her great wistful eyes sparkled with
delight.
"And you shall have half Of it, Ross,
she piped, in her slender, bird voice.
Hadn't you better put on your thick
jacket, my boy p continued his mother
''the wind cuts like knife"
"Pshaw, little mother; | don't mind
the wind" And away he went down
the oreaking stairs, and out in the storm.
Miss Gracia Fontenay was in a perfect
furore of impatience and anger. Her
dear Ave hundred friends were assembl-
ed in the halls below, and the handsome
dress had not come home. What did
that beeRar woman mean by disappoint-
ING her? AT that moment there was
ring at the door, and voice il the hall.
