RISING IN TIE WORLD. - Bear in
mind that nine -tcnths of us are, from
the very nature and necessities of the
world, born to gain our livelihood by
the sweat of the brow. What reason
have We. then, to presume that our chill
drcn are not to do the same? 1t they
be, as now and then one will be, en-
dOwcd with extraordinary powers OF
mind. these powers may have opportu-
nifty of developing themselves; and if
they never have that opportunity. the
harm is not very great to them or to us.
Nor does it hence follow that the de-
scendants OF laborcrs are always to be
laborers. The path upwards is steep
and long. to be sure. Industry. care.
skill. and excellence in the present pa
rent lay the foundation of rise, under
more favorable circumstances. for the
children. The children of those take
another rise; and by and by the de-
scendants OF the present laborers he
come gentlemen. This is the natural
progress. Ii is by attempting to reach
the top at Il single leap that so much
misery is produced in this world and
the propensity to make such an attempt
has been cherished and encouraged ny
the strange projects that we have wit
messed of late years for making the Ia
borcrs virtuous and happy by giving
them what is called an education. The
education which speak of consists in
bringing the children up to labor with
stcadinrss, with care and with skill: to
show them how to do as many useful
things as possible; TO teach them to do
them all in the best manner: to set them
an example in industry, sohriety. clean
Illness, and ncatncss: To make all these
habitual to them. so that they shall never
be liable to fall into the contrary: to let
them always see Il good living proceed
ing from labor. and thus to remove them
from the temptation to get at the goods
of others by violent or fraudulent means
and to keep far from their minds all in
duccmcnt TO hypocrisy and deceit.

The coasts of Norway, which are in
some places more rugged and grander
in scale than any of those in Scotland or
the Hebrides, exhibit the characteristics
of cliff fowling with remarkable COM

cliffs two modes of getting mt the birds

into the strong waistband of the fowlcrs

men in the boat or from any ledge of
rock fat enough to sustain them; the
lifting is like that adopted by butcher

The Good Old Time.

In 1929 Caleb Atwater was sent to ar

Paririe du Chen, Wis. He took his
work to Washington, where it was acted
upon by the Senate, approved, and Mr..
Atwater being off duty, attended the

The description of Mr.. Atwater
Commodore Rogers was there,
dressed as plainly as any simple citizen,
easy in his manner, and unassuming.
The lieutenants and midshipmen made
all the display they could. In the same
way the officers of the army appeared
The secretary of war and his family
were dressed in the neatest but plainest
manner. The secretary's lady, whose
person is symmetry itself, neither need
ed nor wore anything but plain Ameri-
can calico for dress, without a rufie or
single ornament on her person. Her
appearance bespoke q reliance on her
native beauty and her accomplishments,
nor was her reliance misplaced. No
sooner had she taken her place, near the
Presidents family, than all the beauty
and fashion in the room gathered around
her. The gentlemen were all dressed

plicity of their dress, their unaffected
manners, their neatness, their ease,
grace, and dignity, carried all before
them like an electric shot. The dia-
monds sparkled in vain at that levee,
and Western unadorned neatness, mod
esty, and beauty bore off the palm
Our Western ladies had felt some uu-
easiness before the levee about the
result, but their friends assured them
correctly enough that republican SIM
plicity would triumph over all crosses

A Whisky Punch Changed the Weather

The widow O'Flaherty was rich, and
she was known far and wide for her be-
novolence and deeds of charity. On q
cold and stormy evening in January she
summoned her servant man to her pres
ence, and told him to load up the wheel
barrow with wood and take it over to the
widow Wilaby's shanty to keep herself
and the three dear little children from
freezing. "But," said she, "stop bit
and make me glass of whisky punch
before you CO." That being done, and
the punch having been disposed OF, the
kind hearted widow countermanded the
order, remarking that the weather had
moderated and changed 80 much that
there was no immediate danger of any
one freezing that night. Moral. l.-Chari-
ty is sometimes like q weathercock, sub

Does 1t Pay to be Boss &!

A young contractor in one of the
large Springfield manufactures, in
company with his wife, q sad looking
little woman in threadbare clothing,
entered one of the town meat markets
one recent Saturday evening, and, after
gazing around for moment, the man
ordered soup bone for Sunday. While
it was being wrapped up, spruce look
ing young man, with a massive gold
watch chain. attired in suit cut in the
latest fashion and $50 overcoat, entered,
and pompously ordered four pounds Of
sirloin steak nt twenty-five cents per
pound. The little woman looked visit
fully at the tender, juicy steak as it was
being cut off, and then at the bone which
was to furnish her dinner the next day,
and, turning to her husband, said !:
George, why can't we have as good
meat as that man he works under you
at the shop2" "I know it, Jenny" re-
piled the contractor, drawing himself up
to his full height, "but he's only poor
bench workman and I'm boss, and it's
worth something to boss, you know" "
"Y-e-s," said the wife with a sigh,
which said plainly that she would much
rather be a poor workman's wife and
eat sirlion steak than the wife of a
"boss" and live on soup.

An Old Maids Opinion.

II it doesn't make me laugh, and l
can help it, to hear married people pity
old maids, never thinking for one mo-
ment how an old maid might pity the
married.
Oh, no.
Poor soul, she hasn't any husband
Poor dear, she hasn't any children!
It's 80 very, very sad.
OF course it is, POLITICALLY speaking,
but don't you ever pity woman for not
marrying until you are quite sure what
sort of man she hasn't married.
I've known broken engagement or
two that really were subjects of con-
graduation.
There isn't any other time when q
woman feels 80 like feeling of her shoul-
der blades, to see whether the wings
have sprouted, as when sbe has slipped
the wrong mans ring off her finger, aud

neglect, or grow old before her time be.
cause Of his unfaithfulness, when she
stands free again and ready for the right
man to come along.
suppose woman never feels quite
certain that the right man won't come
in all her life.
However, we're talking of old maids
and the people who pity them.
1t is all very well to get poetical over
married life and set single women down
as miserable creatures, but like most
theories, the "thing won't wash"
If you get an adoring husband, ready
to cherish and protect you while life
lasts, you're certainly happy woman !;
but how many do9 One out of fifty,
perhaps.
It's lottery with few lucky numbers,
and even an old maid doesn't bitterly
envy woman with mean or q quarrel

who is left alone with all her cares, a
woman who is a slave, not a wife-nor
even always all that fails to the lot OF
the best loved wife on earth.
There is peace and rest in life when
one is ones own mistress, at all events;
when hear worn out, worried matrons
pitying single women I often feel like
laughing, it is 80 funny.

Home Coming.

When brothers leave the old hearthstone
And go, each one, a eepa arate wav,
We think, as we go On alone
Along our pathway, day by day,
or olden scenes and faces dear:
5 or voices that we miss so much.
And memory brings the absent near.
Until we almost feel the touch
Or loving hands, and hear, once more,
The dear old voices ringing out,
AZ in the happy time Of yore,
Ere life had caught share Of doubt
II you should place against your ear
The shell you plundered from the sea,
Down in it's hidden heart you'd hear
low and tender melody,
murmur Of the restless tide,
yearning, born of memory,
And, though its longings be denied,
The she'll keeps singing Of the sea.
And sometimes when old memories thronp.
Like ghosts, the chambers OF our soul,
We feel the yearning deep and strong,
longing we cannot coltrol,
To lay our cares and business by
To seek the old, familiar ways,
And cross homs's threshold. and sit down
With comrades Of our earlier days.
For, though our p ,ths are sundered wide,
We feel that we ara brothers vet,
And by-and-bye VIC turn aside
From hurrying care and worldly fret,
And each one wanders back to meet
His brother by the hearth of home;
think the meeting is more sweet
Because 30 far and wide we roam.
We cross the lengthening bridge Of years,
Meet outstretched hands and faces true;
The silent eloquence Of tears
Speaks welcome that no words can do.
But ah, the meetings hold regret!
The sad, sad story, often told,
OF hands that ours have often met,
Close + olded under churchyard mold,
or eyes that smile into our own,
Closed in the dreamloss sleep of God:
A sweeter rest was never known
Than theirs beneath the graves white sod
tender thought for them tonight,
tribute tear from memory;
Beneath their covering Of white ID.
Sweet may their dreamless slumber be.

Harry Hart's Experience.

He was good looking. Diana know

She was both genteel and good looking
herself. So when he came to see her.
