But In the lulls it sinks to gentle signing.
And mourns the Summers early-broken

applause.l The doctrine of the Dem

nothing to do with it unless the Gov
ernor or Legislature OF the State calls
upon the General Government FAp-
plause.l The United States claims
the right to draft every citizen into
the army. 1t claims the right to
stand every able bodied man in front

to say that when peace spreads her
beautiful wings, over our land, when
some citizen is struck down, to say

The Ar Of Preserving HeaIth.

The itch of scribbling is "a classical dis
else, but It seems TO have developed peculiar
vTulence since the printing press added prestige
to the written word. The wide audience atten-
tive to literary achievement must present
tempting lure to human vanity, which, moreover,
Is notably enhanced by the supposed facility Of
the performance. Every man who can write
business letter conceves himself to possess the
faculty Of authorship, and sometimes cont EN-
plates throwing OF an essay or novel In tho
intervals OF more exacling labDrs. The most
inveterate dabblers Ia book making however,
are the weaker brethren Of the so-ctlled liberal
professions, who, whatever their Incidence or
incaracity, must needs have shifted the contents
Of good many volumes. Lawyers without
briefs and doctors without patients run to literd-
ture as naturally AS a fox 10 cover, and nothing
but the implacable hostility OF publishers bars
their access to that snug retreat.
DR.. ID. LAMBDEN FLEMMISG OF Philadelphia
does not propose 10 allow thick lea led middle
men to stand between him and the pubic, and
has accordingly printed at his own expense

hs scissors, decided to bestow 1t on tho world.
As the writer's names, however, or even quota

The Disastrous Failure Of n Great scheme 10

For some days Messrs. Magufiin and Ma
crudcr have not exhibited that cheerful cheek
and easy good humor which usually mark th-ir
presence, and their friends have grieved thereat.
To ascertain the cause OF this dependency the
boarders appointed one OF their own number,
Magregor,. to investigate and report. After
laborlous shadowlng Mr.. Aazre9or at last
tracked the men to vacant lot In the Nine
teenth ward, where he found Ar. Magrader
standing In a hole shout four feet deep, and Mr..
Magufnn sitting calmly on the brink, pouring
something out OF bottle for Magruier to
drink. From that time forward Mr. Magregor
worked increasingly gathering facts, which last
night he submitted 10 written report to the
assembled boarders.
II seems that several OF the boarders had seen
In the restaurants new green peAs and other
vegetables which have not We appeared on the
boarding house table, and they delegated Ma
~ Tin and Magruder TO wait on the lIndlady and
urge the esry purchase OF these luxuries. Tue
landlady replied that she would have bought
the vegetables long ago had they been less ex-
pensive; at the same time, however, she said
that as soon as they were cheaper the boarders
would have no cause for complaint. Chagrined
AT his defeat, MHguiiln and MaEruder resolved
to DO A little gardening on their own recount.
