How many people who go to see the
great spectacular plays of the day think
of the unceasing toll, the hard muscular
labor which are the toll, of the graceful
ballet danceri There is no day laborer
whose life is as laborious as that of the
dancer for the skill originally attained
through long-continued and painful eff
fort can be retained only by weari-
some, though perhaps painless work.
If this aspect of the ballet girls life
was more frequently thought of, there
would be less of the thoughtless, popu-
lar assumption that she is immoral and
dissolute. The very conditions of her
professional life require her to preserve
her health unimpaired by dissipation ;
and if hard work is an antidote to
temptation she is certainly triply armed.
Indeed, the art of dancing has been
employed by certain ascetics as safe
guard against temptation, and it was
with this view that the dancing cere-
monies of the Shakers we're devised by
their founder, Mother Ann Lee. The
public dancer does not lead luxurious
life, and rarely dissolute one. Let us
at least do her justice when we gaze on
her graceful and hard-taught gymnas-
tics,

Ten.ThOusand Dollar Girl

On a certain day, on a PENNSYLVANIA
railroad, belle Uf a thriving Pennsyl-
vallia town, the daughter of a wealthy
lumber merchant, was travelling in the
same car with shrewd old citizen OF
her native tOwnand an agreeable young
gentleman from the West who tells the
story,
The latter had been talking to the
belle; but as night drew on and the
young lady grew dr0wsy, he gave up
his seat to her and placed himself be-
side the somewhat cynical Pennsylva-
nian. The latter began conversation
by pointing to high mountain past
which they were whirling, and said:
"YOu see that mOuntain3 Six or
eight years ago it was covered with as
fine forest as ever grew, and was
worth $4,000 and upward. Now, with
out a tree, covered with stumps, the
land is scarcely worth continental.

over there in that seat" and he pointed
to the recumbent belle; ''that is my
calculation. 1t has just absorbed all of
that lumber, which her father owned.

A Wonderful Woman.

Perhaps as good criticism as has
ever been made upon George Eliot she
herself made when she said that it was
easy to be elOquent;that it was so much
harder to be true. This is the keynote
of her manner. Every wOrdm must stand
for thing. Each clause must mean
what it says and more. Not a careless
or half true adjective or adverb shall
escape her. In this course she has
kept on for many years. When bank
pays hundred cents on the dollar, and
does so every day for generation,
people get to think that its promise to
pay printed upon a paper note is as
good as gold. Whether or no George
Eliot is a poet, if we find her writing in
verse we may be sure that the verse
means something. We have opened
her recent volume with the expecta-
ton that it would contain deep thought
and high feeling. and many terse,
true utteranee. We have, of course,
not been disappointed. We can well
suppose it to be true that it is the de-
sire of her heart to be poet. Poetry,
indeed, could never be sufficient ve-
hicle of expression for her. When her
mind is bent in serious and powerful
gaze upon some problem of the heart,
or when her humOr is active, or when
she is making close fitting garb OF
satire for some folly, then she would
write in prose. But blissful or musical
thought will always be said in verse by
any one who has both the vision and
the faculty. Some truth which has
lain in the authors mind for MANY
months, some picture or emotion which
has long been nursed by him, and which
has always delighted him, is lost in q
page of prose Ikea needle in a hay.

The following is leading editorial
in the Middletown Constitution. The
writer evinces a profound knowledge OF
his subject, which could have been
acquired only by many years of obser-
vation, and which elicits our wondering
admiration:
The Jug is a most singular utensil.
A pail, tumbler, or decanter may be
rinsed, and you may satisfy yourself by
optical proof that it is clean; but the
Jug has little hole in the top, and the
interior is all in darkness. No eye
penetrates it-no hand moves over the
surface. You can clean it only by put
ting in water, shaking it, and pouring
it out. If the water comes out clean
you Judge you have succeeded in clean.

the Jug is like the human heart. No
mortal eye Can look into its recesses,
and you can only judge of its purity by
what comes out Of it.

TWO.

Two lovers by moss-Srown spring;
They leaned soft cheeks together there,
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wooing thrushes sing.

Two welded from the portal slept:
The bells made happy carolings
The air was soft as tanning wings,
White petals on the pathway slept

Two hands above the head were locked:
These pressed each other while they rocked,
Those watched life that love had sent.

The red hight fell about their knees
On heads that rose by slow degrees
Like buds upon the lily spire.

The red light shone about their knees;
But all the heads by slow degrees

The Love Of Gambling.

A story OF love of gambling, perhaps
exaggerated, is told in q French paper.
A roturier, suddenly enriched by specu.
lation, is riding in his carriage. The
footman behind, somewhat disturbed
On account of the non-psyment of his
wages, putting his head through the
window at the back of the coach, begs
his master not to forget to pay him his
dues.
"How much is it, La Fleur ?" asks
the marter.
Zone hundred and twenty.f ivres,
may it please Monsieur
"All right; here it is, :" and the master
spread the paper currency of the period
on the cushions of the carriage.
"Now, La Fleur, have You pack OF
cards with you?"
Certainly" replied the obsequious
lackey, producing the cards at once.
Very good. Now, 1 will be banker,
and you shall play against me. I shall
take the front seat the back one will
serve for our table; you can looA

have cozy game :" and so the playing
commenced.
Luck first turned for the master
little by little the footman's hundred
and twenty-five hvres went, until they
we're reduced to FIVE; then capricious
fortune took the opposite course, and
La Fleur won all his masters money.
Piqued at his losses, the master now

A Dangerous Way Of Fishing.

A colOred man named James Ellis
tells wonderful story about the mar
row escape of a companion who accom-
panied him out upon the beach recently
10 fish. The two men, it seems, have
been in the habit of fishing every morn
ing, at an early hour, and always go
amply prepared with hooks and lines
adapted for the capture of members of
the finny tribe of all sizes. On this
certain morning Ellis and his COM
paniOn, Wash -, threw in their
lines, after wading some distance into
the surf, and, according to his usual
custom, Wash tied the line about his
left wrist. A short time afterward.
Ellis, who stood some distance to the
eastward, heard Wash shouting, 'Fve
got him. I've got himm
"What have you ketchedf" asked
Ellis.
81 believe it's a whale or jewfish,"
answered Wash.
As Wash made this answer, Ellis no.
ticed that he was being dragged for
ward into the gulf, and started to rem
der assistance. In the meantime Wash
was being dragged rapidly ont to sea,
at times struggling with all his might
on his feet, and at other times sub
merged beneath the waves. 1t was
then that Ellis fully realized the peril
of his companion, having remembered
his habit of tying the line about his
arm while fishing.
1t was an awful moment. With al
his efforts, Ellis found that it would be
impossible to reach the struggling man.
Already he had passed the first bar; a
moment more he would be in deep
water, and not being able to swim.even
if he succeeded in releasing himself
from the line he must certainly perish.
Suddenly, however, he was noticed to
stop, and standing upon his feet, raised
both hands above the waves.
"Wash," shouted Ellis, rushing for
ward, "has you done got loose 7"
"Yes,n was the reply, 'but, Lord
bless you, it was tight squeeze, sure
enough"
"What was itP- asked Ellis.
Wash replied that when he first fast
ened on to it he thought it was big
red fish or gar, but few. jerks con-
yinced him that it was either a whale
or shark, most probably the latter.
At one time after crossing the bar he
saw it leap out of the water, and it ap-
peared to be about ten feet long, as
near as he could calculate. The prob
ability is that Wash will hold his line
in his hand the next time he goes out
to fish.

A Lesson of Gratitude.

A gentleman was once making in
uuiries in Russia about the method of
catching bears in that country. He was
told that, to entrap them, pit was dug
several feet deep, and after covering 1T
over with turf, leaves, ETC., some food
was placed on the top. The bear, If
tempted by the bait, easily fell into the
snare. But" he added, 'if four or
five happen to get in together, they all
get out again" "How is that 2 asked
the gentleman. "They form a sort of
ladder, by stepping on each other s
shoulders, and thus make their escape.
'But how does the bottom one get out?''
"Ah these bears, though not possess
ing a mind and soul such as GOD has
given us, yet can feel gratitude and
they won't forget the one who has been
the chief means of procuring their
liberty. Scampering off, they fetch the
branch of tree, which they let down
to their poor brother, enabling him
speedily to join them in the freedom In
which they rejoice" Sensible bears,
we should say, and great deal better
than some people that We hear about,
who never help anybody but themselves.

Miscellany.
Choosing n Career.

One sharp lesson of the autumn &
panic, and, indeed, of our shifting
American fortunes without any panic
at all, is the wasteful folly and cruelty
of the old education of woman. 1t is
folly, In an economic sense, that ig-
nores the sharp possibilities of the
future of our girls, while we send our
boys out into life fully armed and equip
ped foI the fray.
The young man, returned from col
lege or the scientific school, in the
bright glow of dawning powers, un-
trammeled as yet by care, and under
the shelter of his fathers roof, decides
upon his career. Admiring aunts and
sisters watt their prayers and hopes
upon the winds that wing his sail; the
fathers experience and counsel pilot
the boat through the shallow waters
near the shore. Everything aids his
start-youth, freshness, and special
training. He has no responsibility upon
him save for his own health and good
behavior,
When does a woman choose her ca
reer' In middle age; broken down by
sorrow; when she has seen her llfe's
hopes go down one by one in the hori-
zon. As girl, she has waited in her
fathers house for the lover who never
came. All of youth has gone by in
vague dreams. In the frivolous busi-
ness of fashionable society her strength
has spent itself.
Her hands are skilless save In deli
cate embroidery; her brain is sluggish,
though it aches with new anxiety and
despair Heavily weighted with re-
sponsibility, it may be, with the bro
ken-down father or the always invalid
mother now suddenly dependent upon
her, she sets out upon this new path
with weak, uncertain steps. Beginning
a career at forty, all unframed
The daughter of her washer-woman
can distance her; the girl who used to
bring home her shoes has already shot
far ahead. She scarce used to notice
these girls, save when they were thlnly
clad or looked hungrier than usual. 1t
was easy to loosen her purse-strings or
send them into the servants room to
be warmed and fed. Where are they
now, while she is halting, timorous, on
tine sharp stones of the highway? The
washer woman's girl is salaried teach
er in the model school house yonder;
the other is book keeper in her fathers S
shop, and it pays her well.
All that artisan father, that mother
toiling early and late, had deeper
wisdom in their need than the merchant,
the clergyman, the railway king, In his
hour of power. What cruelty like to
their indulgence nowl The unreason-
ing fondness which reared their girls in
luxurious helplessness, which assumed
the future as certain in its golden round,
has its parallel in other lands. There
are Asiatic fathers who put out the eyes
of girl that she may be more pa

Chinese prototype We commend the

for his boys in the fine freshness of
early manhood, leaves his darling
daughters helpless amidst the Bullets OF
