with unusual vigor beat on the desk
with his gavel. He held the piece of
paper above his head and beckoned
the brokers to come near him. Then
when it was almost still he read with
much hesitation that Richard Schell
would be unable to fulfil his engage
ment. When he concluded the read
ing of the note with "Yours truly,
Richard Schell," there was a scene OF
indescribable confusion. 1t was a
tremendous blow to the tanderbullt
party. with which Mr.. Schen was
largely interested. At first there was
a stiffness almost unbearable IN
place where it is usual to hear SO
much noise, and then the fearful
shontinp and screaming almost shook
the building. A long line of brokers
made haste to leave the room, Whiie
another line hurriedly entered. With
bated breath they met each other,
simply calculating, "Dick Schell!"
ssMy God, this is rough" said one,
and then adding in faint voice, "Any
moresgone under?" No one seemed to
care to know the cause of the fail
11res, but all asked who's the next?'
Vice President Wheelock did not cease
smiling, and when the gong sounded
for closing he raised his right hand
and motioned to the brokers to depart.
The gong sounded again, and arising,
he raped with his gaval and, bowling
to the brokers, took his white hat and
his delicate cane and stepped down
from the rostrum. One more sound
of the gong cleared the room of all
save few whom none but squad OF
police could have persuaded to go, and
panic-stricken brokers hurried to their
offices to ponder over the days excite

ON THE Sidewalk

there was a great surging crowd. but
the lynX-eyed doorkcepers permitted
none but members to enter. The Gov
ernlng Committee attempted to hold a
meeting. but quorum could not be
obtained.
"We're all busted" said Young
man, who ran into the room in such
haste that he almost knocked five or
six brokers down; "we're all up" He
was soon in the thickest of the crowd,
pushing and showing, and helping to
increase the din. A mild hammered
man. with his hands in his pockets,
paced up and down, saying nothing,
and halting only when some seemingly
half-crazed individual, with pencil and
memorandum book, placed himself in
his path and yelled until any one would
have been ready to bet his last cent
that a blood vessel would burst.
At twenty minutes of nine heavy
set man in gray clothing approached
Vice-President Wheelock. who had
been leisureIy reading some letters
which he took from his pocket, and
handed him piece of paper about
four inches square. The Vice-Presi-
dent smiled and gracefully bowed.
Then he read the paper and opened
his mouth. The brokers on the floor
did not notice him, but the persons in
the gallery did, and said,

A great army many years ago, invaded
Scotland. They crept on stealthily over
the border, and prepared to make night
attack on the Scottish forces. There lay
the camp all silently sleeping in the star
light, never dreaming that danger was SO
near The Danes, to make their advance
noiseless, came forward barefooted.s Bat
as they neared tue sleeping Scots, one un-
lucky Dane brought his foot down squarely
on bristlipg thistle. A roar of pain was
the consequence, which ran like trumpet
blast through the sleeping camp: In mo-
ment each soldier had grasped his weapon
and the Danes were thoroughly routed
The thistle was from that time adopted as
the national emblem of Scotland.

Go ON.-A man must not yield to des-
pendency, nor sit down inactive, dispair-
ing, because he is ia darkness. Sometimes
a few steps onward or upward are all that
ere needed, and he, for want even of that
little activity, may remain all his life be-
meath the cloud. Perhaps you have been
ascending mountain with the mist so
thick before you that at few feet from
YOU not an object was visible, and so wet
that it was like dripping rain. TimidIty
and despondency say in such case you
had better turn back, at any rate, lie by
in the first shelter. But, perhaps, you
will find a clear sky with little more ira
vel upward. Courage and hope say-Go
on! Faith says-GO on higher up, and
you will find light So you go on, and at
| length, unexpectedly, at one single step.
YOU emerge into clear sunshine. Then all
YOUR troubles are forgotten. How glad yOn
are that you persevered, that you did not
turn back you would have lost this glor-
ions sight, this magnificent prospect, this
regularity of glory, which you could have
enjoyed only under these very circumstan
ces of preceding mist and gloom. you
would have lost the sight of the clouds IN
der Won. and the atmosphere resting upor
them 40 on a sea of chalcedony, smooth
soft, undulating, and the submits OF th'
mountains all around glittering with lc'
and snow. And yOu would have lost the
glory Of the breaking up aud trooPint

The records Of the post Office furnish
gauges of our civilization. The contin-
uous increase of its reveDue-stated this
year as exceeding last years by nine per
cent.-till now it has reached 800 600 600,
is far in advance of the increaee Of popula-
ton, aud indicates by 80 much the improve
ment of the people and the spread of intel
ligence. Some evidences of this are sup
piled which are more convincing than the
mere amount paid for postage +; thus the
perez ntage oftincrease over last year in
postage stamps was about one-twelfth
but in newspaper wrappers it was nearly
one-third. CONFIDENT with the extension
of the post-office business in other waye,
is its progress in the requirement of rail-
road service. In 1887 this was reported as
974 miles now it ia 5000. the greatest
increase being in the present year, reported
at {. 600 miles. Some improvements in
speed, especially on long routes, are claim.
ed every year. In our foreigo correspen-
deace the increase Is greater proportion
ally than in domestic. We sent Europe
last year 1856 coo pounds of letters aud re-
! ceived l65 900; but il literature forms the
bulk OF the package email, we had the
chance of learning more from European
brains than they from ours, for they sent
us sixty per cent. more weight than We
furnished, ofprinted matter aud samples.

count is made Of the operations of the

600 letters found their way last year,
That n considerable number of letters will
always go there is of course to be expect
ed, especially since they are sent there in
case of neglect of prepayment; but the

and the more thorough the effort to deliver

by dead letter clerks. 1t is not pleasant
t. think of how many broken promise!
and serious Inconvenience are indicated
by four million delayed letters in a single
year. -.

to foreign oantries has already proved o
great service to that large proportion o
