Is 1t Worth While.
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.

Is it worth while that we jostle s
brother
Bearing his load on the rough road OF
life?
Is it worth while that we jeer at each
other
In blackness of heart ?-that we wal
to the knife?
God pity ms all in our pitiful strife.
God pity us all as we jostle each other
God pardon us all for the triumphs we
feel
When a fellow goes down meath his load
on the heather,
Pierced to the heart; words are keener
than steel,
And mightier far for woe or for veal.
Were it not well in this brief little jour
ney
On over the isthmus, down into the
tide,
We give him fish instead of serpent,
Ere folding the hand TO be and abide
Forever and aye in dust mt his side?
Look at the roses saluting each other;
Look at the herds all at peace on the
plain
Man, and man only, makes war on his
brother,
And laughs in his heart at his peril
ard pain-
Shamed by the beasts that go down on
the plain.
Is it worth while that we battle to hum
Some poor fellow-soldier down into
the dust?
God pity us all Time oftsoon will tum-
BILE
All of us together, like leaves in a
gust
Humbled indeed down into the dust.

day, having completed three years. jour
neying in the Scandinavian Peninsula
and the Arctic countries on the north of
it. He brings back with him seven hun
dred photographs of scenery, people and

of adventure and observation. He has
explored the whole of Scandinavia, Fin
land and Lapland, from the Cattegat to
the shores of the Arctic Ocean. In
Lapland especially he has passed a great
deal of time, and the Laps. he likes very
much. He finds them honest, indus

tians, and belong to the Lutheran or
Reformed Church. Mr.. Du Chaillu de-
scribes an interesting popularity in
their religious services. The minister
is armed with large baton, and when
ever any of the congregation go to sleep.
he employs this to beat with immense
force and noise upon the pulpit, thus
wakening up the sleepers. The sexton
also walks about the church with long
stick having q cushion at the end, with
which he pOkes sleepers in the ribs,
and thus insures attention to the doc
trine that is expounded by the minister.

DIuncy's ventriloquial Joke.

A man who plays practical Joke:
upon his wife deserves to be punished
and Slatterly, of Muncy. aOOs punished
His wife has dread of cats, and be
fore retiring at night she always looks
carefully under the bed to see that no
stray puss and no man, on robbery in
tent, are concesled there. A few
nights ago. after Mr.. and Mrs Slater
ly had retired, Slatterly, who had been
learning ventriloquism, thought he
would amuse himself and scare his
wife by gently yowling and making
the sound come from under the bed.
Mrs Slatterly instantly sat up and ex-
claimed:
"Josiah. | do believe there is cat in
this room"
"Oh, nonsense" grunted Slatterly;
and then he made the noise again
81 tell ou, Josiah" exclaimed Mrs.
s., 81 hear cat under this bed
wish you'd get out and drive it away"
'Oh, go to sleep, Matida." said Stat
terly. 81 don't hear anything. There's
no cat about"
Then Josiah, with his mouth beneath
the covers uttered a louder screech
than before.
"Well, if you won't clear that cat
out. you brute, | will, said Mrs. Slat-
terly.
So she reached over, picked up Jo-
siah's boots, and put them on in bed
in order to protect her feet and ankles
from the infurialed animal. Then she
took Slatterly's cane and stopped down
to sweep it around beneath the bed
Just as she did so, Josiah emitted
fearful yell which might have come
from cat in the paroxysms of hydro
phobia This startled Mrs Slatlerly
so that she sprang backward, and in
doing 50 she stumbled against the ba
by's cradle, which was overturned, and
she went headforemost against TWEEN
ty FIVE dollar booking glass on the sbu-
reau, while the cane flew out of her
hand and lighted with considerable
force on Slatterly's head. The screams
Of Mrs. Slatterly aroused all the neigh
borhood, and even brought out the
Fire Department, SO that by the time
the baby was rescued from the wreck,
and the broken glass picked up. two
engines had streams playing upon the
house, and the front door mad been
burst open by the police; and the FIRE

Free Trade Tested in India.
From the Grand Rapids (AIich.) Eagle. ]
The theory OF Free Trade has been
for fifteen years in practical opera
tion in India, where it has fruited in
the results common to like expert
ence in other parts of the world. 1t
is stated that the decline in native
manufactures in the Province of
Oudh, where the population is 500 to
the square mile, had driven industry
from that department to agriculture.
Some 200 600 people have been
thrown out of employment by sban-
donment OF the manufacture of arms,
and salt, and of the timber trade;
while 250. 900 more have been drivea
by Manchester (English) competi
tion to give up the manufacture of
cloths, and resort to agriculture
Potters, dyers, cloth stampers, work.
ers in metal and glass, and makers of
fancy articles, have abandoned their
regular callings, to take the chances
on the cultivation of the soil. The
result of all this is, that the employ
ment of labor and skill in the less
profitable field of agriculture, works
loss to the national wealth, which,
in large measure, might be saved by
means Of moderate protection to do
mestic manufactures.

DIsAPPEARED.-When friend dies and
is buried there's an end Of him. We miss
him for space out Of our daily existence ;
we mourn for him by degrees that become
melcifully less; we cling to the blessed hope
that we shall be reunited in some more per-
feet sphere; but, so far as this earth is con-
cerned, there's an end of him. However
lie IT and dear he was, the time arrives when
he does not form Il part of our daily thought;
he ceases to be even an abstraction. We
go no more with flowers and tears into the
quiet cemetery only the rain and the snow
flakes fall there; we leave it for the fingers
of spring to deck the neglected mound;
But when our friend vanishes unaccountably
in the midst Of a crowded city, or goes off
on sea voyage, and is never heard
again, his memory has a singular tenacity.
He may be to all intents and purposes dead
to us, hut we have not lost him. The ring
oft,e door-bell, at midnight, may be his
ring; the approaching foot-step may be his
foot-step; the unexpected letter with forei- n
postmarks may be from his hand. He
haunts us as the dead never can. The
woman whose husband died last night may
marry again within lustre OF months. Do
you suppose week passes by when tie
woman whose husband disappeared myste.
riously ten years ago does not think of him?

Another Balloon Expedition.

The failure of all North Pole expeditions
to discover the secret of the Arctic regions
has stimulated the Aeronautic Society of
Paris to attempt an Arctic balloon voyage.
Extravagant as the notion may appear, it is
not more extravagant than Professor Wise's
project of crossing the Atlantic ocean in a
balloon. One advantage of an aerial North
Pole voyage is the temperature of the Arc
tic regions, which prevents the escape of
gas from the balloon to such degree that
it is supposed to be quite feasible to con-
'struct a balloon which will last a three
months voyage. Another advantage is the
absence of darkness in the northern regions.
IF the balloon leaves in the summer time,
the sun will illuminate the heavens during
the whole trip. Then, again, the pernan-
ency in the direction of the winds around
the regions of the North Pole would be an
other point in favor of the trip to the North
Pole over that across the Atlantic. The
size of the proposed balloon is fixed at about
$4,000 cubic metres. 1t is calculated to car
ry ten men, three months provisions, apart
from the ballast, number of instruments,
an anchor and dragging rope, which win
touch the ground should the balloon sink
too near the earth. An ingenious arrange
ment has also been made to prevent the
balloon from rising higher than 800 metres,
or about $500 feet. The boat of the bal
loon is to be lined with sheep-skins and
heated with lamps, SO that even if the tenn
perature should fall to $50 below Zero out
side, it will be so above zero inside. A
vessel is to carry the men, the balloon and
the ingredients for the manufacture of the
neces sary amount Of gas to about the ITO
Of latitude. This win leave trip of about
800 miles to the North Pole for the balloon
to accomplish; and the voyage there and
back could be made within twenty days.
Everything, however, is to be prepared for
a full three months trip. The enterprise
is exciting unusual interest amongst the
scientific men of Europe, and is, indeed, one
of the most wonderful schemes ever. con-
ceived by the human mind.

A SOLITARY TWIN.
The Fat Contributors Strange Account
lFi;'sat 'Ra4 "@ of Him. '9satTs+s'is4'

p
The g Fat Contributor furnishes the
Utica Observer the following strange story
of g q twin" 4 ts 4,,te,o
There was a woman out West who gave
birth to one twin just one, that's all there
was of him. She never had another sol
itary twin SO long as she lived, He was a
melancholy child from the first, and wore
such lonesome look. He always seemed
to be watching and listening for somebody
who never came..y He appeared to realize
that he twasu't altogether-that he was
kind of human parenthesis with one bracket
gone animated damb-bells and one dumb
bell n,issing-a ''pair'' that couldn't
beat deuces and hardly worth drawing to.
He used to moan. in his sleep and paw
around his pillow for his missing brother.
When that boy grew up he was different
from any boy 7 ever knew-that is. to say
any one boy, He seemed. more like two
at least, he was altogether rtwo-boys-terous
for one. If he had fight it was with a
boy twice as big as he was, for he seemed
to feel, somehow, that there was two of him,
or ought to Be. He always managed to get
away with two pieces of pie at the table,
just as if one was for the other OF him who /
wasn't there, and there was thin pretense
of taking care of it for him, but he always I
took care to eat it noticed He only half /
learned his lessons, and double-entry book
keeping nigh about set him crazy, because,
as told you, there wasn't but half of him 4
there, and he conldn't double entry. He Il
wouldn't sleep with any other boy because,
he said, it crowded 'em. He grew up but
he never got married. Once or twice he
attempted to court girl, but left her when
it was only half done, as though that other
twin of his would be along and court the
other half. don't know what become OF

loneliness, but only believe half heard

A Mormon Tribute to B shop Tuttle.

The Salt Lake Herald, a Mormon paper
in referring to an attempt to slander Bishop
Tuttle, pays him this nice compliment:
Some days ago we learned that a semi
clerical gentleman of this city, was some
what anxious to attack Bishop Tuttle, upon
a recent sermon which that gentleman had
delivered in st. Marks church, and in
which he had incidentally referred to the
profession of mining.
Bishop Tuttle has been in Utah and Mon
tana for several years, and from all that we
have learned of his personal life and public
administration, we have formed an excellent
opinion of him-both as a minister and a
gentleman. He is liberal as a Christian,
an indefatigable worker, and as wholly free
from the pride and pomposity of high posi-
ton as any man whom we have ever met.
AS lie passes through our streets, no one
unacquainted with him would ever suppose
that that slouched hat could be replaced at
any moment by the mitre SO much the
ambition of men of greater pretentions.
From such a man as Bishop Tuttle we
could well afford to listen to difference of
opinion, and had he expressed himself OPP
posed to the profession of mining, as alleged
by the Mining Churchman," he was al
least entitled to that right of thought and
Judgment The opportunity of slandering
a dignatary, however, was to much for our
morning co-tem., and notwithstanding ii
had the disayowal of the Bishop before the
publication of the communication, it felt
that such morccow was too great a tempt
alton for sensation to be passed by unim-
proved.
