Will He Succeed 2

In nine cases out Of ten, mans life
will not be success if he does not bear
burdens in his childhood. In the fond
ness or the vanity of father or mother
have kept him from hard work; If an
other has always helped him out at the
end of his row; if, instead of taking his
turn at pitching off, he slowed away all
the time-in short, if what was light al
ways fell to him, and what was heavy
about the same work to some else; if he
has been permitted to shirk, until shirk-
ing has become habit, unless miracle
has been wrought, his life will be a
failure, and the blame will not be half SO
much his as that of his weak and foolish
parents.
On the other hand, if boy has been
brought to do his part, never allowed to
shirk any legitimate responsibility, or to
dodge work, whether or not it made his
head ache, or soiled his hands, until
bearing burdens has become a matter of
pride, the heavy end of the wood his
choice, parents as they bid him good-bye
may dismiss their fear. The elements of
success are his, and at some time and in
some way the world will recognize his
capacity.

An Unexpected Party.

A few days ago a man named Murphy
while crossing Tussy's Mountain to-
Pennsylvania Furnace, by near cut,
came across couple of bear cubs
which he attempted to capture. The
youngster didn't like his familiarity and
took to tree. Mr.. Murphy, loath to
loose such fine opportunity to immor-
talize himself of carrying home game
of this sort, began peIting the cubs with
stones with view of dislodging them.
The juvenile bruins raised an outcry
which brought the madame bear to the
rescue. Then the fun began in earnest,
and Mr.. Murphy thinking that an i'm
mortality of fame was not to be found
under these circumstances, fled down
the mountain, with the enraged mother
in full pursuit. In his flight Murphy
lost pair of shoes and q bundle, and
was compelled to seek refuge in tree,
less happier man than Zaccheus. The
enraged mother tore the shoes and bum
dh into more fragments than the two
sac bears made of the forty and two
children who mocked Elisha.-AHoona

MAN1Tou, Col. July II. is

MANIToU, COL, July IA, 1877.
Manitou is situated in beautiful val
ley among the foothills of the Rocky
Mountains. 1t is the gate as it were of
the Ute Pass which cuts westward
through the spur of the main chain, of
which Pixies Peak is the highest point,
lying to the northern side and almost
beneath the shadow of this grand noun
tain. 1t is seventy-fve miles south of
Denver, the capital of Colorado, and six
miles west of the prosperous town of
Colorado Springs, which stands four
hundred feet below it on the opening
plateau of the great plains, from whence
the Denver and Rio Grande Railway
connects it with Denver in the north
and New Mexico on the South.
This valley stands at an altitude of
$3.50 feet above the sea, and 5000 feet
below the summit of Pixies Peak.
The melting snow on the peaks pour
its ice-cold rivulets through the green
valley, and the soda, Iron, Sulphur, and
Magnesia Springs which bubble cease
lessly are SO thoroughly established as
the central watering place and health re-
sort of the great West that il seems al
most superfiuous to attempt to picture
its attractions. Most of the mineral
springs are to be found among the pic
turesque winnings OF the Fountain Creek
clear, fast-running stream, with
rocky bed, which comes down from the
mountain through the Ute Pass. The
mineral springs that are at present used
are six in number. Coming up the val
ley, the first is the Shoshone, bubbling
up under a'wooden canopy, in the mid
die of the main road of the village, and
often called the Sulphur Spring from the
yellow deposit left around It. A few
yards farther on and in ledge of rock
overhanging the right bank of the
Fountain is the Navajore. From this
rocky basin pipes conduct the water to
the bath house, which is situated ON the
stream little farther down. Crossing
by pretty, rustic bridge we come to the
Manitou close to an ornamental sum-
mer house its taste and properties re-
semble the Navajoe. Recrossing the
stream little farther up and walking
about quarter of mile up the Ute
Pass road, following the right bank Of
Fountain, we find close to its brink the

A Wife Through a Dream.

THE CLEVELAND Leader says !:
Il One of the happiest men that ever
journeyed hundred miles from Michi-
gan took the Toledo express on Satur-
day, at Fremont bound for Toledo and
his home in Michigan. He told strange
story, of which the followingis is the sub
stance:
Some weeks since, while at home in
Michigan, he retired to rest after hard
days work, and falling asleep dreamed
a dream. He appeared to have taken
long journey from "home," where he
had been located for ten years, and had
scarcely lost sight of, and where he had
lived "a happy old bach," and never
thought of matrimony, although the
fair Michiganders who resided in this
neighborhood had used their best en-
beavers to indu ce him to make propos-
ais for their hands and hearts which
they were prepared to accept after the
usual amount of hesitation. But our
friend was as blind and oblivious to their
advances as miser to a charitable petit
tion; had no more idea of matrimony,
to use his own expression, than Hot
tentot.
And so feeling he tumbled into bed,
and as we said before, was soon in the
land of dreams. In that dream vision
appeared unto him. He arrived at
place in Ohio which was called Ere
mont. 1t appeared that soon after his

MuscOyitA and Turk.

For the last time in all probability in the
history of Europe Christians and Mohamme-
dams are arrayed against each other in actual
war; for little doubt exists that the result of
the conflict now brought about by the Rus
sian invasion of Turkey will be the downfall
of the Ottoman dominion in Europe. 1t is
now over five hundred years since the Turk
first entered Thrace, and four hundred years
since the capture of Constantinople and the
establishment of the Ottoman empire. For
three centuries the Mohammedan was the
terror Of Europe, and it was not until the
loss of Belgrade in I'LL that his power began
to decline. Since then his strength has been
gradually weakening, and now the time has
come when, in all human probability, he will
forsake the scene of his great conquests for
ever.
The Russian march has apparently been
rapid, for detachment of Russian troops al
ready occupy Bucharest, two hundred miles
beyond the frontier of the Pruth. The pas
sage across Roumania will be virtually unob-
structed, and no obstacle will be met until
the banks of the Danube are reached. It is
generally believed that the passage of that
river will be made without great difficulty
and that the Muscovite will meet with no
formidable difficulty until he comes abreast
the great barrier of the Balkans. There the
Turk will make desperate stand and the full
strength of his adversary will be required to
force him back.
,ofi -.
volved in the conflict is question which can
not yet be understandingly discussed. Eng
land will watch with jealous eyes any attempt
to seize Constantinople. and may, as a last
resort, garrison the ancient city with her red
coated soldiery. Austria is believed to be in
sympathy with her. But power which can
overawe both England and Austria is the
great military monarchy which has en-.
trenched itself in the centre of Europe. Ger
many is thought to favor the designs of Rus
sia. The world has not forgotten the mes
sage which, at the beginning of the Franco
Prussian war Manteuffel bore from Berlin to
St. Petersburg, "Vous prendre pOrient,"
and 1t believes that the project of the two
Chancellors is about to become reality; that
Russia is to re-establsh the old Byzantine
empire, and that Prussia is to take as price
for her complalsance the German territories
OF Austria and on the east the frontier of
the Vistula; that Austria will be permitted
to make good out Of Bosnia her name of the
east-kingdom, ostreich; and that if she re.
fuse her consent to this remodelling of the
map of Europe she will be destroyed. All
this is mere conjecture; but it is the conject-
ure OF the most intelligent opinion of Eu-
rOne

A correspondent of the London Standard
has visited Strasburg to ascertain whether
the city under Prussian rule is In the same
plight as Venice or Milan at the time of the
German occupation. His conviction is that
if the German Government pursues its policy
of wise conciiation the inhabitants of Stras-
burg will, as the memory of the siege is weak
ened by time, depart FROM their present un-
bending mood that the dashing German Of
ficers will in few years. time come to dance
and firt with the fascinating Alsaciennes,
and that the unity of race which is disclosed
by unity of tastes, manners, customs and
language, will in the long run prevail over
the memory of political divisions. One of the
features of the German occupation is the
great rapidity with which all traces of the
bombardment have been removed. With the
exception of the museum in the Kleber platz,
which il yet under the builders hands, there
is nothing but the comparatively new look Of
the houses to show the extent to which the
town suffered. All the tumble-down, rickety
old structures that were thrown down by the
shells Of the grand duke of Baden have been
substantially rebuilt. Stone took the place
of lath and plaster, and tile and slate the
place of brick.

Are Politicians Corrupt.

The Sunday School Times answers the ques-
ton, "Are only politicians corrupt%'
The fact is, there are quite too many mer-
chants whose names stand fair in commercial
circles whose ways Of doing business would not
look well in the light of careful comparison
with an absolute standard of right. There are
bankers, and manufacturers and farmers, and
lawyers, and editors. and clergymen, and men
Of every other walk in life, who bear q good
name in communities where they are known.
whose modes Of action, in little things and
greater, would be sharply criticised-and with
good reason, too-if only they were subjects Of
public notice and comment. Some of these
men know better than to do as they do. They
do not live up to their own standard of integri-
ty. Others OF them, again, do as well as they
know how, but not as well as they ought to do.
They have never realized how wrong are their
methods Of conduct and how deficient are their
standards of right
There are ways of buying goods Of packing
and marking goods, Of making statements
about goods, orally or in flaming advertise
ments; ways Of evading usury laws, of set.
Ting with bankrupt or dishonest creditors;
ways of making out tax-lists of avoiding the
payment OF honest custom dues; ways OF mis-
representing the facts in q court of Justice;
ways of deceiving advertisers or subscribers;
ways of using Christian or ministerial pro-
fession and reputation TO ones own advantage
and to the injury Of others; ways of dishon-
esty, and unfairness, and insncerty, almost
without number, which are common in the
community among men who are held up, by
those who lament our political degeneracy, as
patterns to the average politician and office
holder. The reason why men who do all these
wrong things are not dishonored before the pub
lie is, that the public has never been called to
take special interest in their modes Of doing

cage of favorite parrot had been hung out

A CONFIRMATION of the report that Dem
ocratic state judges in North Carolina are dis
posed to prevent the enforcement of the in
ternal revenue laws by arresting revenue
agents, is furnished in letter sent to the In
ternal Revenue Commissioner. The pretext
for this unwarrantable interference is that an
act of Congress bearing on this subject is un-
constitutional. If this pretension is toler.
ated, the tax on spirits and tobacco will soon
be evaded in many portions of the South, and
the burdens of law-abiding citizens will be
upjustly increased.

THE French War Department has just been
established in its new Office on the Boulevard
st. German. The edifice is on an immense
scale. Here the voluminous military archives,
which have had many travels, find more
commodious resting place than they ever had
before. The military annals from 1643 (when
Louis XIV. began to reign) to 1791 form 1907
volumes, and have about 23O maps. Those
from 1791 to 1910 form 1000 maps, and more
than 1000 registers.
