Real Editors ana the Other
Kind.

The Boston Post, in an article con
cerning the crowd of Indiana people
under the name of editors recently in
Washington, says: Editors cannot
spend great deal OF their time in
travel. When they do they neces-
sarly part with their profession. In
point of fact the real journalist, or ed
tor as some insist, is personally about
the least known of all living individ-
uals who WELD an equal amount of in
fuence or perform an equal amount
of work, The preacher appears week
ly to the public in the sacred desk ;
the physician visits his patients daily
and talks with them the lawyer har.
angues juries and pleads with judges;
the journalist alone is unseen and pop
ularly unknown. He is content to
see the silent but effective operation
of his influence. 1t is his journal that
speaks for him. He would as soon
think of prancing about the country
exhibiting himself to the public in
different cities as he would of stand
ing On the corners and hawking his
own sheet. He would much sooner
perform under Barnum at the Centen-
NAL than perch himself in the gallery
of the United States Senate for exhi-
bition. He is not in the habit Of
wearing a chalkel hat, sleeping in free
beds at hotels, promising puffs for his
ratious, orjoining a travelling troupe
of men with flying hair or young wo
men with flowing feathers. His life
is one of work, and not of excursions.
When he goes forth to inhale the fresh
air and bask in the sunshine of this
outer world, no one is greater stran-
ger than he, and the last subject you
can induce him to talk about is a
newspaper. This troupe of Hoosier
"editors" is party that has been or
ganlzed to see the country and feast
on its products without having to ex-
pend dollar. 1t is the other kind of
editors the real editor-that hoiels,
railroad companies, Congress and po.
litlcal managers would be only too
glad to entertain.

THE CHOICE

WOULD not be leaf, oh no,
To wait for April winds to blow ..
Before should have power to grow;
would not be q leaf, to lose
The red and gold Of autumn hues,
And drop when giddy winds should choose
would not be brook that strays
Through pastures and sweet hidden ways
And nowhere oiters or delays
A brook that hurries here and there,
Whether the day be dark or fair,
Till caught within the frostS white snare
would not be bird that weaves
Her dainty nest beneath the caves,
And has no peace for fear of thieves;
would not be bird to triIl
And teach my fledglings with a will,
And find one day the nest quite still;
I would not be q bee to roam,
Seeking the sweetness far from home
With which to fill my honey-comb;
Nor would be red rose, born
With many hidden cruel the IN,
Where children's fingers might be torn.
But would simply choose to be
A little child at mothers knee,
Ofyears that number ons, two, three

Mr. George Dawson, in recent
lecture at Birmingham, said :-"The
Office of a mans house was not only
to give shelter, food and meat, bu'
also to surround his children with
those fair sights and sounds by which
the sense of beauty might be develop
ed. There were houses in that town
in which not poem was read nor a
song sung throughout the year, and
yet people wondered why their child
rem were vulgar. The beauty oftowns
was one of the most neglected duties
and one of the most deserving. If a
town was beautiful people took pride
in it, liked to live in it, and were sor.
ry to leave it. In Birmingham they
wanted new society, to be called the

Ragged Folks.

No, dort mean ragged clothes,
but folks who act like rags some
times, you have seen dozens of them.
They go about smiling and cheerful
just as long as prosperity smiles on
their plans and wishes, but the mo-
ment that trouble comes they grow
limp as wet rag and while the
backbones ofthe family are tugging
and sweating to give the wheel an
other turn, those wet rags fold them:
selves up and slip away quietly into
corner, where they lop down and
watch the proceedings until all is Sc
rene and lovely again, when they ap-
pear once more upon the scene and
bravely help bear the honors. I'm
out Of all patience with such people;
why they don't even make rustic as
they walk. Whenever | meet them l
feel like taking a big bowl of starch
and dipping them in and hanging
them out to dry. But then | suppose
they are some good in the world, for
if everybody We're always cheerful and
happy there wouldn't be anybody to
pity SO let them softly fulfil their
mission while We thank our lucky
stars that we don t belong to the rag,
ged folks.

A Touch CANADIAN AND A .ToUGH-
Err SroRY.-About forty years ago, n
young man named Wilson, residing
near the town of Perth, Canada, con-
ceived the lunatic idea of leading q
hermit's life. The youth had from
his early age showed symptoms OF
arrangement, and this proceeding on
his part was not considered strange
by his friends. The chosen place of
of his hermitage was three quarters of
a mile from his parental homestead,
in the recess of dense brush, where
he erected a small hovel and furnised
it with an old log canoe, which he
used as a couch to sleep in. Dlvest-
ing himself of all clothing, he has
ever since remained perfectly nude.
with the exception of a tattered rem
nant Of a shirt which his fancy leads
him to retain. In this nude state for
forty years he has lived, walking in
the depth of Winter through the snow,
and yet he has never been known to
have received frost bite. When he
requires drink he walks deliberately
into the river, it mattering not to him
what season of the year it may be-,
and wades out till the water reaches
his waist, and then he stoops and
quenches his thirst. His food is
brought to him by his friends, and
when given to him is eaten with the
voraciousness of an animal, which he
resembles more than that of a man,
his body being as heavily coated with
hair as that of COW. He never
shows dangerous disposition, and
chatters in monosylables. When
people cross his path he invariably
begs for tobacco, for which he has an
evident partiality, and in chattering
tones will utter "bacca" until his re-
quest is granted. His hair is long,
gray, and unkempt, falling far over
his shoulders, and his beard, which is
similar, reaches down! below his waist.
He is now between 60 and 70 years
of age, and he is possibly the only
living being ever known to have lived
year after year perfectly naked, and
exposed to all the incIemencies of
weather which mark our Canadian
Winters. - Exchange. s.

Good Enough for Home.

"Why do you put on that forlorn
old dress p asked Emily Manners Of
her cousin Lydia one morning after
she had spent the night at Lydia's
house. The dress in question was a
spotted, faded old silk, which only
looks the more forlorn for its once
fashionable trimmings, now crumpled
and frayed. "Oh, anything is good
enough for home!" said Lydia, hastily
pinniug on a soiled collar, and twist
ing up her hair in ragged knot, she
went down to breakfast. "Y Jur hair
is coming down." said Emily. "Oh,
never mind; it's good enough for
home, said Lydia, carelessly. Lydia
had been visiting at Emily's home,
and had always appeared in the pref
tiest of morning dresses, and with
neat har and dainty collars and cuffs ;
but now that she was back again
among her brothers and sisters, and
with her parents, she seemed to think
anything would answer, and went
about untidy and rough in dingy
finery. AT her uncle's she had been
pleasant and polite, and had won
golden opinions from all +; but with
her own family her manners were as
careless as her dress, and she seemed
to think that courtesy and kindness
were too expensive for home wear,
and that anything was good enough
for home. There are too many peo-
pie who, like Lydia, seem to think
that anything will do for home.
Young men who are polite and pleas
ant in outside society are sometimes
rude to their mothers and sisters, and
girls who among strangers are all
gayety and animation never make any
exertion to please their own family.
1t is wretched way to turn always
the smoothest side to the world. and
the toughest and coarsest to one s
nearest and dearest friends.

Pointed Paragraphs.

/ pity them folks who won't be-
lieve anything only what they can
prove.
A lie Is like brush heap on fire ;
it is easier to let it burn out than try
to extinguish it.
Young man, you had better over
rate than underrate yourself; the world
are very apt to take man at his own
price.
Revenge makes a hornet respecta-
BILE, but it is the very basest passion
in man.
The more intellect man has got,
the more simple he can afford to he.
After all said and done, if there
wasn't anything but lambs in this
world, life and mutton would be a
great drug.
A defeat suffered gracefully is half
a victory.
Everybody laughs alta monkey, but
nobody respects them.
Don't hunt for fame-lets fame, ,huut
for you.
There is lots of people who, when
they have changed one sin for anoth
er, think they have repented of the
first one.
Liberty don't consist in doing as
you please, or in doing as others
please, but in splitting the difference.
After q man has reached the height
of his ambition, the first thing he does
is to be disgusted with it.
The majority of the world don't
know of any other way to get ahead
than to pull somebody back.
l notice one thing when a man IN
tends to punish the world by retiring
from it the world steps gently one
side and lets him wait.
Young man, you can't learn any
thing new by hearing yourself talk.
The road to ruin is always kept in
good order, and those who travel it
pay the expense.
What blessing it is to be simple !;
TO have the body satisfied with simple
food and the mind satisfied with SIM
pie truth.
The bottom round Of the ladder is
safer than the top one.
If men of brains were always men
of honor this world would be compar-
atively safe.
1t is tough to be poor, but to be
ashamed of it is putting salt onto a
sore.
We are all of us poor just as we
want more, aud rich as we want less.
Good luck is not only scare bit
mighty uncertain, for even good
luck may prove to be bad luck in the
end.
A dollar is worth saving, but it
amt worth spending twenty shillings
to get.
All frauds, when exposed, are more
remarkable for their thlnness than for
anything else.
One of the biggest fools in the
world is the man who is hunting for
that he has irrecoverably lost.
1t is quite an accomplishment to be
able to mind our own business.

MOSELY RENOUNCES DOMESTIC

doubts about the expediency of using
that Tor indeed any system in domes.
tic doctoring at all-in fact he doesn't
believe IN domestic doctoring at all.
Some time since he was complaining
to a friend of his about the size of his
doctors bills, and that friend sat down
with him and told over his experience
with homeopathy, and how, in Ger
tam space of time he had saved
enough to buy piano by simply in
vestigating in a good, instructive
manual" and accompanying case of
somebody Or others "specifics," all
contained in nice little bottles, and
mighty handy and convenient. He
not only told him this, but further ex.
planned what nice thing it was for
babies and how he had saved several
human lives--includiug that of his
mother-in- law, an act which since he
had greatly regretted-one time when
they were all up in the country, and
it was impossible TO get doctor un.
der three hours in sholt he so worked
upon Moseley's mind that that gentle
man went off the next day anI bought
Just such another ''manua" and case
of ''specifics' as those possessed by
his friend everything about which out
fit was IN perfect order, and reduced
to the finest system, every bottle, be.
ing duly marked, numbered and la
beled, shoppers numbered to CORE
spond, and the whole recorded in The
"mannual" in such a way as to show
what each bottle would do, if given
an opportunity.
Then he went to work and studied
up and got hold of the principles Of
the thing so that he could subdue a
collie or q stomach ache with tolerable
expedition, although there was (and
is) way down in his heart Of hearts a
slight leaning in the direction Of hot
toddy as a remedial agent in such
cases.
His Christmas dinner had not
agreed with him very well, and he
felt so bad along in the evening that
he got out his doctors shop with due
solemnity, and made light attack on
the sturdy quarter OF a mince pie that
he felt was troubling him, and then,
getting ready another dose, he took it
down stairs to his wife, who also was
slightly indisposed, but nevertheless
busy with her household affairs. Like
any man, he lett his medicine chest
open upon the bed in the front room.
1t being Christmas night, the three
year ole boy was given little more
latitude than usual, and allowed to
stay up beyond his regular bedtime ;
in consequence of which he was circu-
lating around IN highly animated
manner, and fully taxing the watch.
