In the whole range of sacred and profound
literature, perhaps there is nothing recorded
which has such staying qualities as a good
healthy mortgage. A mortgage can be de-
pended. upon to stick closerslhan a brother.
1t has 4 mission to perform which nevtrlets
up. Day after day it is right there, ~nordoes
the siighteSc tendency to slumberiimpair its
vieor in the night. Night and day, on the
Sabbath, and at holiday times, without a
moments time fore rest and recreation, the
biting offspring Of its existence, interest,
goes On. The seasons may change, days
run into weeks, weeks into months, and
months be swallowed np'into the gray man
Of advancing years, but that mortgage
stands up in slcepful vigilance, With the in
terest, a perennial stream, ceaseleSsly run
ming OH. Like a huge nightmare, eating out
the sleep of some restless slumberer, the un-
paid mortgage rears up its gaunt front In
perpetual torment to the miserable wight
who is held within its pitileSs clutch. 1t
holds the poor victims With the relentless
grasp of a giant not one hour of recreation,
not a moments evasion Of it's hideous pres
ence. \ genial savage of modifying aspect
while the interests paid; Il very levi OF
hopeless destruction when the payments
fail.

Some of cur readers who may be gram

can whether the plural of 4 tailur's goose is
geese or gooscs. Some time since a variety
merchant i'll the country wished to order
from a hardware man in the city something
tor'his tailor customers, and wrote as fol-
lows:
"Please send me two tailors' gooses.''
Not liiling'the grammar. and tearing his
New I ork friends would laugh at him, he
destroyed that order and wrote:
please send me two tailors' geese"
After the letter was sealed. he was troub-
led in his mind lest they should send him
two living geese. purchased from some
tailor, whenilie took the document from the
post-office, destroyed it, and for two days
thought OF nothing except how to word it
in order so it could be understood and ac-
cording to grammar. At ltrst he gave up in
despair, and wrote:
"Please send me 4 %tailor's goose, and
and, d-n it, send ME another one just like
it."

HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN.

We want a few private words With the
boys. The truth is, we have q great idea Of
boys. We used to think men were made of
boys. We begin TO think now that these
were old-fashioned notions, that they are all
out OF date. We look around and see Il
great many persons grown up, with mems
clothes. on, who are called men,. But they
act and behave so that we feel certain they
were never made out of boys. Ii they had
been, they would know how to behave bet
ter. Where they came from we do not
know. But what we wish to put into the
ears of the boys is :tlis-be gentlemen. In
this country every boy may grow up to be Il
gentleman if lie will. 1t is not necessary
that he become a great scholar, nor that he
become a distinguished man.
But some impatient onesare asking, How
can we become gentlemen: How can a boy
90 about making himself one: Can he work
for it. Yes lie can. And the harder he
works in the right way the better. Can he
study for it? Aes, lie can. Bat he mast
study with his eyes and his ears. Reading
books and newspapers is not enough. He
must think and feel as we'll as speak and
act. Can he buy it! No, lie cmnot. Money
will buy many things, but it will not buy
what makes a gentleman. Ii you have
money you can go TO q shop and buy clothes.
But hat, coat, pants and boots do not make
a gentleman. They make Il fop, and some
times they come near making q fool. Money
will buy dogs and horses, but how many
dogs and horses do you think it will take to
make a gentleman: Let no boy, therefore,
think he is to DE made a gentleman by the
clothes he wears, the horse Ire rides, the
stick he carries, the dog that trots after him.

THE EDITOR.

oh dear, what's tie use of wishing? biit
/ 10 think an editor-a real editor, none Of
your locals, nor reporters, nor writers for
the poets corner-@-an editor is one of the
happiest animals in the known world. He
canego to the circus, afternoon and evening,
without paying a cent also1to inquests and
hangings. He has free tickets to picnics
and strawberry festivals, gets Wedding
cske sent him, and sometimes gets a licking,
but not often, for he can take things back
in the next issue, which he generally does.
l never knew only one editor to get licked.
HIS paper busted that day, and he couldn't
take nothing back. Wy
While other folks have to 90 to bed early,
the editor can sit up late every night, and
see all that's going on. The boys think it's
a big thing to hang out till ten O'Clock.
When / am Il man | mean to be an editor,
so 1 can stay out nights. That ecilt be Il big
thing! The editor don't have to saw wood
or do any %chopping, except with his seis-
sors. Railroads git up excursions for him,
knowing if they didn't he'd make 'em git
up and git. In politics he don't care much
who he goes for, if they are on his side. IT
they amt, lie goes for them anyway. so it
amounts to nearly the same thing. There
is a great many people trying to be editors
whocan't, and some OF them have been in
tile profession for years. They can't see it
thong. If / was asked if / had rather have
an education or be u circns-rider, / would
say, let me go and be an editor.''
