People Who Drift.

y The most common secret of the want
OF success in life is general tendency
to let things drift. It is not so much the
missing ones opportunity or the COM.
mitting one blunder, as the lavish waste
of all forces and opportunities which in
various shapes come within the grasp.
The temper which permits such waste
of material that is never replaced may
spring from Incidence, or absence OF
ambition, or an intellectual incapacity
of discerning what an opportunity or
force means. Plenty of men fail for all
these reasons But still larger num-
ber fail for lack of a quality which is
neither industry merely nor acuteness,
nor desire to get on, but kind of vigi,
lanttenacity, like that of a hunter. after
his prey. Il s.,,,.;.f. ,,oa-f ucd
] Such men break down in the race, or
at least never get beyond very humble
goal, less because they have been tripped
up by some unsupported trench, than
because they were comparatively desti-
tute of yigor and concentration They
are. morally halt and MANNED to begin
with. They have not the stamina which
supports men under heavy weights and
carries them. well over a prolonged
course. They scan look seriously at the
obstacles which are Immediately in from:

out difficulty, But they never think OF
the obstacles that lie a little way ahead,
or at all events rather. make; prepara-
'tions for Shrinking than for: getting the
better of them. :lf aSGcJ9d nlt1
Most men suffer much fewer and less
damaging injuries from the actual false
steps they take than from that timorous
or incapable temper which makes them
shamble, ,slipshod through life, not
Knowing clearly whether they want to
go, or how they are ever to get anywhere

petent to. make that little greater. It is
the sloveniness Of men and women
which for the most part make their lives
so unsatisfactory. They do not sit at
the loom with keen eye and deft finger,

A P0wder.Mill.

A powder-mill is not in the least like
other mills. Instead of one great build
ing, it is composed of many rough-look-
ing little sheds-sometimes as many as
seventy or eighty These are long dis
tances apart, separated by dense woods
and great mounds of earth, so that if
one "house" is blown up, the others
will escape like fate. Of some the
walls are built very strong, and the roofs
very slight, in the, hope that if an ex-
plosion happens, its force will be ex-
pended upward only. Other houses
have enormous roofs of masonry cover
ed with earth; the roofs of others are
tanks kept always full of water.
The constant danger inseparable from
the work would be. greatly increased
were there not strict rules, always en-
forced. No cautious visitor can be
more careful than the workmen them
selves, for they know, if an explosion
happens, it will be certain, instant death
to them. So no lights or fires are ever
allowed; no one lives nearer the. mills
than can be helped; some of the build
ings are carpeted with skins, and the
floors are kept always flooded with an
inch or two of water; and in front of
every door is a shallow tank of water.
Before entering, every person must put
on rubber shoes and walk through this
water, for the nails in boot-heel might
strike spark from bit of .sand or
gravel, which might explode a single
grain of gunpowder, and cause wide
spread disaster. So the rubber shoes
worn in the mills are never worn else
where. Then, 'too,i every one is ex-
pected to keep his wits, about him;
there is never any loud talking and
laughter, and no one ever thinks of
shouting, Yet, with all this extreme
care, explosions sometimes occur, and
then there is seldom amy one left to tell
how ithappened.-St. Nicholas for July.

Catch we'll the precepts as they fall
Andsmooth the wrinkles in your shawl.

And notice if your bonnet's straight.

And fix those curls behind your ear. ,-.l

Mr.. FRY set out to marry Miss, Boil

fairly indicative Of the difficulties they
encountered. Her father opposed the
match, and she went to family in
which her sister lived. That sister be-
ing also in love with Mr.. Fry, locked
her,in room, and she only escaped by
jumping from a window, at night. A
Clergyman, called on suddenly to per-
form the ceremony, read the ebaptismal
serviee.h through before the error was
discovered. The delay gave time for
the father to arrive and forbid the mar,
