Coon ADVICE. Advice is 6rst,rate
thing when the person giving it knows
what be or she is talking about. But
there are volumes of advice and coun-
sci which are utterly useless, and more
than useless, because it is simply the
result of an uncomfortable desire to say
something-wbat makes no difference.
Advice, to be worth anything. needs to
be matured in the mind before it is ut
tered 1t is altogether better, how
ever, as a rule. to attend to your busi-
ness and let other peoples alone, unless
you are invited to interfere. Public
men are especially the victims Of the
advice given. Every man and woman
in the world think themselves called
upon to give man who happens to be
in public life some sort of advice, SEEM
ing entirely to lose sight Of the very
important fact that any man who has
mind enough to attract any considera-
BILE share of public attention probably
has enough to manage his own affairs.
Get your own affairs in good shape and
keep them in it. and do not waste so
much of life in looking after other
people.

Every man must patiently bide bis
time; not in idleness. in useless pas
time, or querulous detection, but in
constantly accomplishing his task, and
when occasion comes he may be equal
to it The talent Of success is nothing
more than doing what you can do well,
without a thought of fame. If it comes
at all, it will come because it is deserv-
ed. not because it is sought after. 1t
is very indiscrete aud troublesome am
bition which cares SO much what the
world says Of US; to be always anxious
about the effect of what we do or say ;
to be always shouting to hear the echoes
Of our voices

THE DAYS ARE GROWING LONGER

Along the bright horizon line,
Dividing earth from orient skies,
We look more northward for the sign
OF light each morn as darkness dies;
Yon wood, toward which the sun slow creeps
Does now resound with chirping song
Throughout its still and solemn deeps-
The days are growing long.
A short time since the sunrise blaze
Left far to shadowy north yon spirei
This Sunday morn, the first bright rays
Its belfry lights with CLEAN of fire,
That, shining through its window, seems
An eye prophetic Of the throng
Ofjoys with which the vision teens
When days are growing long.
Life's day is growing long. We scan
With curious, hopeful, awe-struck gaze
Life's dim horizon-line, that man
Must pass ere treading heavenly ways;
Our sun each day the zenith nears,
We sit on memory's realm of song,
Like diamonds soon will CLEAN earth's tear,
Lifes day is growing long.

they impart health and tone 10 the whole

do get a little precise in their manner
and severe in their aspect. The attitude
is not, as our correspondent calls it, indie
pendent and overbearing, but like that
Of an old drill-sergeant, = little mechan-
ical and austere. But this is the mis-
fortune, and not the fault, Of the school,
marms long in the service. Sometimes,
too, doubtless. the daily trials and petty
annoyances Of their profession may
tend TO sour their tempers. but so would
any body's temper be likely to suffer
with a lot Of unruly children in nowise
related to him, to keep in order from
years end to years end. No wonder
the countenance of the seasoned school
marin grows strong IN its lines, and her
movement becomes trim and methOdi-
cal What would the teacher do in the
school-room if she always wore jaunty
manner and kept her face wreathed in
smiles? Would not the boys and girls
take advantage Of her, and would not
her pupils fail to advance in the rudi-
.mentary studies? 1t is not right to for
get the trials of the schoolmarm.
But, after all, we repeat that many
good wives may be found among the
women who teach boys and girls; and
we hope that all such will get good hus-
bands, and find that they have changed
their state only to better it vastly.

~. Louis Fair-Expo.ision.


The leading facts and points Of interest
connected with this great enterprise may be
summarized ~ follows:
The Exposition opens September 10 and
closes October q, and will display the art
wouders-both useful and OrnamentaE0f
the world, including great variety Of ma
chinery for farms and factories, In actual
operation, an immense collection Of manu-
featured articles from America, Europe and
Asia, furniture and household conveniences
of all kinds: also collection Of minerals
from the Western States and Territories.
During the last six days, from October
to q, inclusive, there will be IN immense dis
play Of fine stock, including poultry, sheep,
swine, cattle and horses; also fruits, fow
ers, vegetables, grain and other farm and
garden products. The premium list, which
offers SjO,0 900 in prizes, gives full inf0rma-
tion, and can be obtained by addressing G.
U. kalb, Secretary, st. Louis. Several hun.
bred merchants and manufacturers have tax
en- space for their exhibits, and the directory

what promises to be the largest and most
attractive display ever seen in the West.
The railroads centering in st. Louis deduct
10 to 20 per cent. from regular charges ON
passengers and freight bound to the Expo
sition. The Geological garden, containing
large collection Of wild animals and birds,
will be free to all visitors to the Exposition.
The fine art department will contain some
Of the choicest gems in America. The live

sition.-!T. Louis Dispatch.

Detectives Playing Tramp.

The tramps will be pleased to learn
that the State has detective officers trav-
cling among them to find out their
ways, as the best way of learning how
to deal with the tramp problem. The
men dress and live like the rest
of the fraternity, make no attempt
to obstruct or arrest them in any crime,
and even join with them inetheir petty
thefts. Their observations thus far con-
vince them that the great body Of
tramps are professional thieves. Coca
sionally one travels by himself, but they
generally form into gangs fora few days
or longer under the direction of a chief,
and have their duties assigned them,
who are to beg to-day, and who to-mor-
row, and what places are to be broken
into. 1t is suspected the tramps have q
general headquarters for stolen proper
ty among the hills in the western part
Of the State.-Sprtnqfeld Repmblicaa.
