WHEN MEN ARE AT THEIR BEST
DR.. Beard States that from an analysis OF
the lives Of thousand representative men
in all the great branches of the human
family, he made the discovery that the
golden decade was between forty aud fifty;
the brazen betye een twenty and thirty; the
iron between fifty ard sixty. The SUI
periority Of youth and middle life oyer old
age i'll original work appears all the greater
when we consider the fact that all the
positions of honor and prestige-professor
Ships and public stations are in the hands
Of the old. Reputation, like money and
position, is mainly confined to the old.
Men are not widely known until long af-
ter they have done the WORK which gave
them fame. Portraits Of great men are
decisions; statues are lies! They are ia
ken when men have become famous,
which, on the average, is at least twenty
five years after they did the work which
gave them their fame. Original work
requires enthusiasm. If all the original
work done by men under forty-fve was
annihilated, they would be reduced to bar
bariSm. Men are at their best at that
time when enthusiasm and experience are
ALMOST evenly balanced. This period, on
the average, is from thirty-eight to forty.
After this the law is that experience in
creases, but enthusiasm decreases.

Methodist Pastors Wives.

A writer in the s'Omaha Republican,
says
"We want it distinctly understood that
we are not a Methodist minister's wife. A
whole community does not think it neces-
sary to ieel itself disgraced if d DOCTORS
wife or lawyers wife is compelled to go
to church in a calico gown or two-year
old bonnet But let a minister's wife be
guilty of the same offence, and she is sure
to have her cheeks made to burn and her
ears to Jingle by such remarks as Well, 1
do think Sister Blank might contrive to
look little bit stylish. [ hate to tell PEG,
pie that such dowdy is our minister's
wife, We would like to ask some who
make these remarks, How much have you
contributed this year to the support of
your pastor p A doctors or a lawyers
wife has exclusive control of the bringing
up of her children, but the bringing up of
the minister's children is the business Of
the whole congregation, in which he and
his wife do not always constitute a major
ity. Again, a doctors or a lawyers wife
is never made to feel that what she has
does not belong to her by every law of
right and justice; her husband earns it
and it is hers. But a minister's wife has
no such comfortable assurance. What she
has is donated to her by her husbands
congregation. He may have earned it as
well as the doctor OF lawyer, but still what
he gets is donated to him, and he and his
family are made to feel it at every turn.
What sensitive woman placed in this posi-
ton can help crying out against that state
of society which demands of her husband
every moment Of his time, and all the
strength of his intellect, and still holds
himself and his family in the light of OBJ
jects Of charity, and not in any way emit
| tied to their support. 'Those who preach
the Gospel shall live by the Gospel if not

It was written long ago. and if written

general thing, Methodist ministers are the
most overworked and underpaid ministers
in the country, and all that is suffered by
the wives Of other ministers falls doubly
heavy on theirs. We know Of one Metho-
dist minister who has received from his
church the enormous amount of fifty dol
lars in one year. He has family to sup
port, but those who preach the Gospel
shall live by it, Men willingly pay out
money to the doctor who cares for their
body, and to the lawyer who pleads their
cause at the bar of justice, but to the man
| who cares for their immortal souls and

pleads their cause at the bar OF Heaven
they think it u charity to give five cents
Now, if Methodist minister endeavors
to increase his scanty income by any other
means, it is made cause Of reproach, ano
he is looked upon as one who has no heart
in his work. Charitable Christians, how
can a mans heart be in his work that does
not give him food for his stomach, or
clothes for his body? We cannot see why
it is not as much a mans duty to contri-
butte to the support Of his pastor as to his
butcher or baker.
We attended the camp-meeting at Ben
nett, Iow;. and while there heard many
brothers consecrate ali they possessed to
God. We said this is good. We hope the
brothers have included their pocket books,
and that through the coming year the
heart of some poor minister's wife may be
gladdened by the fact that while her hus-
band is working for God, he and his family
have not been forgotten by the world.
These wives labor en- day after day without
hope of ever owning a home eff their own.
They must not only bear their own bur-
dens, but those of an entire community.
They are looked upon as objects of char
ity, while they know that they have per
feet right to all, and more than they get,
and yet they dare not make q complaint
fer fear of injuring those dear to them.
They must be models Of charity in endur-
ing and suffering all things, but, unlike
her, they must hope nothing at least in
this world. Do not say a woman ought to
know better than to marry a Methodist
minister. AS well say that she ought to
know better than to marry at all. When
we to Heaven we expect to meet there,
very near to the throne, goodly and
graceful throng of Methodist ministers
wives"

Poetry.

They have come-the antumn days,
When the red suns chaStened rays,
In the wood,
Glimmer bright fin shade and hue
That the summer mover knew
And pierce the thicket through
Where | stood.
1t has come-the autumn time;
Passed the summer and the prime
OF my days,
Careless Of joys or fears,
For the sod was damp with tears;
Withered fell the hopes of years
In my gaze.
When the magic OF thy love
Let the sun in from above,
Soft and bright.
And saw with altered mind
That the summer, too, was kind
In its light.
For, just as a brighter sheen
Glorifies the passing green
Of the leaf,
And the vistas op'ning clear.
Let the wider scenes appear
Free from grief.
So might it be in life,
When the glory and the strife
OF its June
Have shed their flowers and fruits,
From pure or poisoned roots,
Late OF soon.
We may find a grander view,
With wider passage through
To our rest.
And that love which blossoms last,
When passions dream is past,
Is the best.

THE MAN OF LEISURE.

Mrs Sheridan, happy wife and mother,
having concluded the hustle Of house
keepers morning, assembled to her bedroom
with the agreeable consciousness OF q neat
parlor and pantry, and commenced the
important business Of cutting out piece
of linen. The smooth surface of a well
made bed was appropriated to this some
what intricate process, on which, humble
as it seems, the happiness of ones husband
greatly depends. There is scarcely more
forlorn or pitiable object in the universe
than man, who putting on new shirt,
perceives some radical defect, with the con-
seriousness than nine, fifteen, or twenty
more are cut upon the same pattern. 1t
so happened that Mr.. Sheridan had de-
tected, almost with complacency, the in
cipient decay Of Il set Of shirts that had
kept his neck in vice for a year and n
half, and with many injunctions to his
wife to be merciful, had purchased a piece
of new linen.
Mrs. Sheridan begun her work with
light heart, and humming low tune,
placed the various pieces on different parts
Of the bed, in the most systematic man
ner. 1t is delightful to create; and the
humble evolutions of the needle and scls-
sors have healed many wounded heart;
but to work for those we love gives an ad-
ditional charm to this seemingly humble
EMPLOYMENT. Mrs. Sheridan went tripping
lightly round the bed to the growing tu-
null of gussets, wristbands, ETC., looking
back to her life Of PLACID duty, where even
the clouds that had shaded her path were
tinged with the light Of love and hope.
She had not advanced far into the pro
gress of her work, when ring 1T the door
bell was heard, and a visitor announced
She smoothed down the borders OF her
pretty morning cap, and with a sorrowful
parting glance at the bed. descended to
the parlor.
The visitor was Mr.. Inklin. broken
merchant, who had contrived to save just
enough for his support, without energy to
strike into new plans, though it Was his
intention to enter upon some occupation
at Il future day. Mr. Inklin had no gift
i'll conversation his voice was an anodyne,
and his sleepy eyes seemed wandering to
tile ends of the earth. Nothing is SO chill
ing in conversation as an unanswering eye.
Besides this unfxed look, he kept up a
grunting kind OF affirmative, which de.
stroyed the hope that difference OF
opinion might stimulate his ideas. He
dressed well, and made great use of his
watch key. Most men Ut leisure do.
The man Of leisure sat down composed
Nv. remarking that the weather was fine.
Mrs. Sheridan assented, and tried to re-
collect if she had stuck pin as a guide
where she had drawn the last thread in the
linen.
Mr.. Inklin enlarged upon the weather
