A NEW ENTERPRtsE.-Fo Inc nothing is
more interesting than to see man in the
first intense strain of new enterprise; it
may be new cider-milI; it may be a new
newspaper. 1t is q great crisis in that mans
life. He lives thirty daysin one. Old, trite
proverbs take on new and startling mean
ings. He looks upon all men and all things
in a strange, new light. He judges all men
and all things with regard to the accomplish
ment of his one supreme design. During a
certain time the stars in their courses fight
for him then the very universe changes its
direction, and pushes with all its weight
against his totlering walls; another change,
and thousand accidents are in his favor.
He does not know till years alterward with
what concentration he labored in those days
of beginning. He SMILES at himself, and tells
pleasant stories of his make-shifts and alb
and now, when he sees another and
younger person starting has cder.mill, with
the old, outworn enthusiasm, he looks on
with the same half.sympathetic, halfcynical
interest with which an old married couple

just fallen in love-" The Old Ca6inet"---

THE ABLE BODIED STYLE OF DYING IN Up
ERA.-Italian opera is the EXTREMIST product
of modern civilization. 1t is not the high
est, God forbid but the production OF it.,
the support, and, above all, the enjoyment OF
il. shows that those by whom it is produced,
supported, and enjoyed, have reached q
condition of social efferyesceDce beyond
which no people have yet doomed or bur-
geoned-perhaps beyond which there is hope
of fruit of the socially exquisite sort. 1t is
the most arbitrary, conventional, and extra
VACANT, from which art has taken for the
pleasure of those whose pleasures must
be refined iuXuri6S. And this is the most
refined and yet one of the most earthly OF
luXuries-one which is partly sensual, partly
emotional, and not at all intellectual, and of
which the height of the enjoyment is in d.
rect proportion only to cultivated, sensuous
refinement and emotional susceptibility.
Regarded in the light of reason, Italian opc.
ra is monstrous and even ridiculous. AT
best, it exists at the very periphery of ra.
tional conference, hairs breadth beyond
which sends us whirling in fragmentary
fashion into the abyss of unfathomable nom
sense.

A Cr.sox-s CosrEsT.-Early on Sunday
morning gentleman walked out, probably
for the purpose of sailing his sheep, After
few vigorous calls the flock collected,
around him and clamored as usual for their
allowance. One old black ram, however,
searaed to have something on his mind, ana
stood aloof. The owner, seeking to conclli-
ste him. approached and laid bis hand upon
his head. This the ram resented with iu-
rious charge, which was repeated until the
owner took to flight. But he was too iar
from the fence, and the enemy literally huDg
upou his rear with persevering obstlnacy. a
change of front was resolved upon and lmme-
liateIy effected but still the battery was played
with undiminished fervor. Soon the parties
clipched. and after q vigorous scutde they
came TO the ground. The ram could now
do nothing, but his fleece protected bis ribs
from the furious blows of his adversary.
Both seemed now pretty nearly exhaust ed.
The. man was on top, and seIZing stone
which lay near, commenced pounding the
head of the sheep. Of course the rock was
soon reduced to fragments; but the man,
having formerly driven hogs, thought of the
expedient of throwing dust in the eyes O!
the recusant ram, and incontincntiy hlled
his optics with clay, rubbing it in. ne
then arose to enjoy the success OF MS
ruse: but the ram "riz too, paused o
single moment, applied knee to either eye,
and renewed the combat. And now the fight
was more desperate than before, and victory
seemed to perch above the sheep. Butas ne
nut all his power into one final blow his almost
faintipg antagonist succeeded in avoiding the
shock and catching the ram by the tail and
now the tide of victory turned. A success
sion of furious kicks, administered a poste.
foul play, but the adversary fought for con.
quest. at length the "tail-hold slipped"
and both parties fed in opposite directions.
They will probably eight another day."
