PEOPLE Will TALK.

You may get through the world, but t
will be very slow,
II YOU listen to al! that is said as you go;
You'll be worried and fretted and kept in
Stew
For mcddlcsomc tongues must have some
thing to do,
And people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you II have it pre-
sumcd
That your humble position is only as
snmrd,-
You're wolf in sleeps clothing or else
you're Il fool;
But don't get cXcitcd-kcep Perfectly cool,
For people will talk.
And then, if you show the least boldncss
of heart,
Orr slight inclination to take your own
They will call you an npstart, conccitcd
and vain;
But keep straight ahead--dont stop to cN-
plain
Fol people will talk
If fthrcadwarc your dress, or old fashioned
your hat
Some upstart will surely take notice Of
Tat,
And hint rather strong that you cant pay
your way;
But don, get excited, whatever they say,
For people viii talk.
Ifyou dress in the fashion, don't lhak to
escape,
Forthcv clilicisc then in y different shape ,
You're ahead your means, or your tail
ors unpaid;
But mind your ,cwn business there's
naught 10 be made,
For pcop'e will talk.
Now, the best way to do is to do a. you
please;
For your mind, if YOU have one, will than
be at ease.
OF course YOU will meet with all sorts OF
abuse;
But don't think TO stop thcm--it amt any
For people will talk

USMANLY MES.--Is there any JOY greater
than that which is experienced by one person
when be helps another person? There are
men SO low down that it is said they can not
bear to have the smell Of their clover 90 into
the highway for fear that other folks will get
something that belongs to them without pay
ing for It there are some men who are said
TO begrudge bees the honey which they take
from their flowers without leaving anything
behind but that is doubtless imaginary. A
man whose heart does not respond to an act
Of doing good or giving happiness is no
longer man. He had passed the line Of
manhood, and should be ranked among
beastg.

A REMARKABLE INVENTION. Another in
vontion pertaining to electricity, quite as
wonderful as the telephone, though, perhaps,
less calculated to attlact popular notice,
HIS recently been secured by patent IN tho
United States to Swedish inventor. The
apparatus is an automatic railway signal
which enables the station officials to know
the precise position Of any train at any time
1t gives sound signals TO the engineer, and ait
the station before the train enters, thus en-
abling switches to be CLEARED and arranged
in time to prevent accident. If two trains
approach each other, whether running IN the
same or in opposite directions, the engineers
OF both trains receive signals IN time 10 pre-
vent collision, and the station people are at
the same time automatically informed Of the
position Of both trains. Amy train may, BY stop
ping at certain points on the road where con
facts are arranged, open telegraphic com
munication with the stations on both ends Of
the route, and two trains may in the same
manner telegraph to each other. complete
record is automatically kept at each station
OF the speed of each train and OF the exact
time it enters or leaves the station. Stop
signals may be sent at any time from the
stations to any train while moving. The ar
paratus may be arranged to send stop or
danger signals to trains approaching swinging
bridges which are not properly locked and
fastened. When this invention shall have
been generally introduced, railroad accidents
will DO almost impossible. = Chicago Journal

What an ending to life that might have
been 50 useful, 50 happy now lost amid the
darkness, amid the gloom. Not one star to
guide him along his way. He fell down, down
into everlasting woe.
Shall we follow the fortunes Of the traveller
in the narrow road, after leaving his COM
paniou, and starting into the road which had
been told him led TO peace9 He found that
there were more flowers scattered along the
highway than he at first supposed Birds
were singing joyously, and he could trace the
hand Of God In every passing breeze, and ev-
cry leaf and flower Friends, too, clustered
around him, and gave him a helping hand.
There is often more in one kind word, one
look of sympathy, one unselfsh act, than in
all grand works of men, which have been
known from the rivers to the end of the
earth.) Mountains, when he reached them,
were only hills, and the grand and beautiful
scenery to be seen from their summit, amply
repaid for all toll of climbing. And although
many storm arose, yet there was shelter to
be found from every storm. Angels we're Civ
en- charge concerning him, lest at any time he
should dash his foot against stone. AT last
his sun went down, beneath canopy of
