Shooting at a Mark.

How MANY of the young men who
loitered about the streets last week to read
the kilograms from the Dollymount shoot
ing-match caught the moral of this bust
ness? We suspect that if they had seen
the point they would not have spent the
day, or had day to spend, in idle curios-
ity The great evil of the world as it Is
related to young men is that multitude
Of them grow up without being trained to
accurate and careful work-to shooting at
some mark and hitting it.
They learn, if ever, when ii is too late
that success pivots upon training, upon
precision, upon patient practice. A
young man needs to know how to do
something well, and this can be learned
only by drill, persevering application to
one thing, by steady, patient and un-

most anything that he tries to do, having
boundless energy and capacity, but If he
does not settle down to pursuit and pa
tiently work out its details, shooting
every week at his mark, he will come to
no special success. We have no great
admiration for shooting. Gunpowder is

The Next Duty.

THIS is an epoch of elevators. We do
not climb 10 our rooms in the hotel; we
ride. We do not reach the upper stories
of Stewards by slow and patient steps; we
are lifted there. The Simplon is crossed
by a railroad, and steam has usurped the
place Of the Alpen-stock on the Rhigi.
The climb which used 10 give us health
on Mount Holyoke and beautiful pros
pect, with the reward of rest, is now pur-
chased for twenty-five cents Of stationary
engine.
If our efforts to get our bodies into the
air by machinery were not complemented
by our efforts to get our lives up in the
same way we might not find much fault
with them; but, in truth, the tendency
everywhere is TO get up in the world with
out climbing Warnings after the In
finite are in the fashion. Aspirations for
emlnence-even ambitions for usefulness
ARE altogether in advance OF the willing
ness for the necessary preliminary disci-
pine and work. The amount of vaporing
among young men and young women
who desire TO do something which some
body else Is doing-something far In adj
vance Of their present powers--is fearful
and most lameDtable. They are not will
ing TO climb the stairway; they must go
up in an elevator. They are not willing
to scale the rocks in walk of weary
hours, under broiling sun; they would
go up in car with an umbrella over their
heads. They are unable or unwilling to
recognize the fact that, in order to do that
very beautiful thing which some other
man is doing, they must go slowly through
the discipline, through the maturing proc
esses of time, through the patient work
which have made him what he is and
fitted him for his sphere of life and labor
In short, they are not willing TO do their
next duty and take what comes of 1t.
No man now standing on an eminence
of influence and power, and doing great
work, has arrived at his position by going
up In an elevator. He took the stairway,
step by step. He climbed the rocks, often
with bleeding hands. He prepared him
self by the work of climbing for the work
he is doing. He never accomplished an
inch of his elevation by standing at the
foot of the stairs with his mouth open and
longing. There is no royal road to
anything good-not even TO wealth. Money
that has not been paid for in life Is not
wealth. II goes as II comes. There is no
element of permanence in II. The man
who reaches his money In an elevator does
not know how TO enjoy 1t; so II is not
wealth TO him. To get high position
without climbing to 1t, to win wealth with.
out earning it, to do fine work without
the discipline necessary to its performance.

HON A II II ,NTUART

To those of MI. Stuart's friends who
think that he would lend his name to an
Independent ticket, we may say. that they
little know the man. Neither he nor Mr..
Koiner, who also has many devoted
friends, would hear to so dishonorable an
act, after having submitted their names to
Convention. They are not that sort of
men. The attempt by their admirers would
be political madness, and would destroy
ali the hopes many Conservatives IN Au-
gusta entertain of Mr.. Stuart being Or
next U. S. Senator. The influences that
were adverse to him in the County Con-
vention will not operate in the Legislature
where the vote is to be cast, and where,
we are sure. no greater name than that OF
of A. ii. II. Stuart will be presented. Let
us bide our time and possess our souls in
patience, and not by il-advsed and hurt
full exhibitions of friendship damage man
we would aid. Even with such a miracle
AS his election. Mr.. Stuart s appearance in
the Legislature as successful by beati ng
his party ticket, would ruin his prospects.
| The action of the County Convention Sat-
urdav in rejecting his endorsement for the
| post of u s. Senator was one of those bur-
ried and flee ing exhibitions of temper by
! the thoughtess which to-day all in their
thoughtful moments regret.

STUART'S DRAFT, Oct. 4th
[ had the pleasure of attending the clos
ing exercises of the Thinking Spii ing Sab

was all that could be desired, being cool
and bracing, and consequently there was a
large crowd present. According to previ-
GUS announcement by our pastor Rev. Mr.
Strickler, the Rev. Messrs. Simpson and
McCune, were present to address the
school. At noon the hell rang to assemble
the cOngl egation. and after singing OF the
523tl hymn, and prayer by the Rev. Mr.,
Simpson, the report of the school for
the last session was read and was very
gratifying indeed. The whole number OF
scholars was 179, average attendance l3l,
and the number of pupils who did not
miss a day 80. The 80 received prizes
from the pastor for their faithfulnes. Rev.
Mr. Mcclure, made in eloquent address to
the school spiced with sparkling and in
the attention of the young. His subject
was the Importance of telling the truth
and he told us all about George Washing
ton, and his little hal chet. Rev: Mr.. Simp-
son, followed, and his subject was Reaut
His address was rich and racy. and he said
some nice thin.s about the young ladies.
| would say he is ladies man. All pres
ent expressed themselves highly pleased
with the addresses. At the close the 52sth
hymn was sung by the choir. and the hour
of recess having arrived all repaired to the
yard where il sumptous repast had been
spread by the ladies of the congregation;
of which after all had partaken much re-

to the church, the 530th hymn was sung,
and after prayer by Rev. McCnne and the

of which may many more fall to the lot OF
the congregation.

A FEMALE PICkPoCKET.-On Wednes-
day night, while Alex Reid was sitting
asleep on box in front of Loeb Bros
store, a white street walker named Nancy
Eddy, alias Buffalo" picked his pocket O I
Il pocket book contaiping $40. Reid awoke
and pursued her, and officer Gregory over
took her near the Virginia Hotel. She had
thrown away the pocket-book and just as
she was arrested threw the money on the
side walk. The officer lodged her In jail.
