THE ROSS ARDICTION.

The interest in this case continues rs
lively a. ever. though no clue whatever
has vet been found leading to the recov-
cry Of the missing child. Detectives
have been hard at work; the press has
cxcrted its ingenuity and advanced all
kinds Of theories. but nothing has turned
ou, successfully i'll accomplishing the OBJ
iect sought. 1t is said that the parents
Of the child have received many letters
from different sources, but they
have steadily refused to let the
correspondence see the light, though
there i becoming general demand that
these letters should be given to the public.
The refusal Of the father to give his as
sent to this, has again started the idea
that he knows more of the matter than he
would like To- he known. and is really
oayticcU< cri0iniS; but this i too cruel Il
theory to be even limited at unless there

HAVING, DOING, AND BEING.

In every Society there are those
who derive their chief characters
tic from what they haze; who are
always spoken of in terms ofrever-
ence and of whom you would not
be likely to think much, but for
the large account that stands on
the worlds ledger in their name.
The second and nobler class prove
themselves to be here, not that
they may haze, but that they may
do I; to them life is aglorious labor;
they are seen not to work that they
may rest, but only to rest that they
may work. No sooner do they
look around them, with the open
eye of reason and faith, upon the
great field of the world, than they
perceive that it must be for them a
battlefield; and they break up the
tents of ease, and advance to the
dangers OF lonely enterprise and
the conflict with splendid wrong.
But there is a life higher than eth
er of these. The sanity is beyond
the heroic mind. To get good is
animal 10 90 is human; 10 De
good is divine. The true use of a
mans possessions is to help his
work and the best end Of all his
work is to show US what he is. The
noblest workers of our w0r Id be-
queath us nothing so great as the
image of themselves. Their task,
be it ever SO glorious, is historical
and transient; the majesty of their
spirit is essential and eternal
While to some. God gives 1t to show
themselves through their work, to
others he assigns it to show them
selves without even the opportuni-
ty of work. He sends them trans
parent into this world; and leaves
us nothing to gather and infer.

THE OLD STORY.

The O Their day q young man
came into our office and said to the
editor: "x esterday / was released
from the Eastern Penitentiary. /
had two moA'ths taken Off from
my time for gos ID behavior. I was
put in for larcenev. i want to turn
over new leaf AMI be On honest
man. But fluid 1t almost impos-
sible to find work. i have been
reading your paper Ia The peniten-
tiary, and / thought i N'ould call
in and see if you could not help me
in regard to employment.u Inre-
ply to the question, :. What work
can you do; what trade are you
master OFF" he answered, "Thers
is just the trouble. never learned
to do anything. When I was a lad,
l idled away my time. And now
there is nothing that / am master
of, except cane seat chairs, which
I learned in prison, and that bust
ness is all done in the penitentia-
ry; SO there is no demand for it
outside. If / only had a trade i
could get place. A gentleman
wanted a man to-day to take care of
his garden, and If / had understood
the business of a gardener / could
have had place at good wages
right away
We have in mind at this mo-
ment, another person who is strug-
Cling lab0riously and honestly to
support his family. But he is in
the same condition. He has never
learned any business; he is master
of nothing, except indeed those
branches of industry that require
no experience or apprenticeship,
and and that can be picked up at
days notice, and hence they are
overstocked. He is willing; he
would be glad to learn trade, butt
is not so easy for man with a FAM
ly on his hands to do that
Within a few days we fell in
wi h a friend of about forty years
of age, who has had more than
usual advantages of education,
having graduated at college and
also abroad. He was heir to a
moderate property, which relieved
him, apparently, from the need of
acquiring a profession or calling.
But in time his property melted
away, and now, when approaching
middle life, with wife and several
children, in a world, and in a coun-
try where all is push. and hurry,
and competition, and where the de-
mand is made of every man,
"What can you do ?" he finds him.
self, without any trade or calling
of which he is master, compelled
to do the easiest, most rudimenta-
ry, poorest paid work. So, as the
result, he is really unable by his
utmost exertions, to support his
family in anything like comfort.
And if one turns to the other,
the fairer portion of humanity, it
is the same story. Ask the next
person, be it man or woman, who
comes to you for charity, or for
help of any kind, "What can you
do?" and the answer will be
anything ;" which means of
course, "nothing."
