THE RULING PASSION

Whoever has habilually attended circus
SEES remembers the Conrad Brothers. aero
baiic clowns, and their, comical perform
ances, i'll which n pretended to be dead,
willie the other trainpled him about. They
recently went to Germany. The London
Era contains the following: One evening
the elder Conrad tell to the ground after a
pretended blow and was turned and return
ed as usual. Ills arms and legs were jerked.
he was struck and kicked and dragged. but
preserved Il steady impassibility. Suddenly
an expression OF distress could be noticed
through the grotesquely painted lineaments
OF his brother, who hastily dropped on mis-
knees and placed his hand upon the heart OF
the inaninate clown, exclaining my poor
brother is dead ~ At this the audience only
laughed. "Gentlemen," said the distressed
man, with tears in his voice, II assure you
that he is dead" Then. taking him tender
~ in his arms, he bore him from the arena.
The crowd appeared struck with the natu-
raj mann. in which the bereft clown ex-
pressed grief and applauded him vigorously
as he departed. There were loud encorcs
for both, but neither presented himself.
Death had been more thoroughly simulated
than ever before.

THE POOR GENTLEMAN.

There are more young American men In
the ~penitentiaries of this country learning
trades than there is outside of them The
principal cause of this is that we are educa--
ting our young men for gentlemen-trying
to make lawyers, preachers, doctors and
clerks out of material that nature intended
for blacksmiths and bricklayers, carpenters,
tailors. and other honest ''hewers of wood
and drawers of water" 1t is a mistake. and
a big one. to teach boys and girls to believe
that to labor is disgraceiul. and to do moth
ing tor "A living is more becoming to society
iii which they expect to move and have the
respect of. Hang such society! 1t is rotten
to the core to-day, and there are many mems
sons and daughters who are now being edu-
Gated to play the parts OF leading lady" and
''walking gentlemen" in the great drama Of
life, who will light out for a p%oor-house or .
penitentiary before they have played their
parts and the curtain drops. Go to work.

OCCUPATIONS OF ANGLO SAXON WOMEN

The ladies of the Anglo Saxon household
were not idle in their bower. The distatf
was generally the distinguishing imple-
Llents Of the lady of the family. King Al
tired in his will, made soon after the year
$50, says that his grandfather had bequeath-
ed his lands to the spear-side and not to the
spirlle-side. Spinning, weaving, sewing,
carding wool, beating flax, and washing
garments were considered occupations
equally fitting Tor queens and princesses as
tor women OF ordinary rank. The daugh-
ters OF King Edward, Alfred's successor,
employed themselves in the labors OF the
,listatf and needle. Before the Norman pc
Rod. English ladies We're celebrated. even
on the Continent, for their skill in spinning,
weaving and e,nbroidering; and one OF the
early Norman writer's tells us how the
French admired the beautiful dresses of the
English nobility, and adds that English wo-
men excel all others in needle work and in
the art of embroidering with gold. Eli
glisl girls are spoken of, in the life of st.
Augustine. as employed in skillftllly orna-
men,ing the ensigns of the priesthood and
royalty with gold and pearls and precious

Durdered in it's whole extent with gold
work, and ornamented in places with gold
and precious stones arranged in pictures.

MARRYING FOR MONEY.

A late author very trutItully says: Cold
cannot buy happiness, and the parents who
compel their daughters to marry for station
or money commit a grievous sin against hui
manity and God. And Il woman who mar
ries a churl for his wealth will find that she
has made a terrible b~argain-that all the
Gilt erings Of heartless grandeur are phos-
pIlorescent gatherings of heart- wretched-
ness: that her life will be one of gilded
misery, and her old age will be like a crag
on the black side OF . desert mountain,
where cold moonbeams sometimes glitter.
but no birds sing, but wild storms howl and
hoarse thunders roar, and through the
sweeping storms shall be heard the stern
voice of the great God, saying. Your
riches are corrupted, your garments are
moth-eaten. your gold and silver are eank-
cred, and the rust of them shall DC a wit
ness against you, and eat your flesh rs il 1t

TRUE SIREN GTH.

We must measure alnan's strength by the
power of tho feelings he subdues, not by the
power Of those which subdue him. And
hence, composure is often the highest result
OF strength. Did we ever see a man receive
a fragrant injury, and then reply calmly!
That is Il man spiritually strong. Or. did
we ever see a man in anguish, stand as ii
carved out OF solid rock, as if mastering
himself? Or one bearing Il hopeless daily
trial remain silent and never tell the world
what cankered his home peace? That i
strength. We toe often mistake strong tee,-
ing tor strong character. A man who
bears all before him, before whose froWn
domestics tremble. and whose bursts OF fury
make the children Of the household quake,
because he has his way in all things, we call
a strong pan. The truth is, that he is a
weak man it is his passions that are strong
he, mastered by them, is weak.

spirit. A merry heart a cheerful spirit,
from which laughter wells up as naturally
as bubble the springs OF Saratoga, are
worth all the money bags, stocks and mort
cages Of the city. The man who laughs IS
a doctor, with a diploma endorsed by the
school Of Nature, his face does more good
in a sick room than q p pound of powders or
a gallon bitter %draughts. If things go right
he laughs. because he is pleased, II they go
wrong, he laughs because it is cheaper anu
better than crying. People are always glad
10 see him, their hands instinctlvely go l'ii
way to meet his grasp, while they turn III
voluntarily from the clanmy touch or the
dyspeptic, who speaks OH the grooming Key.
He laughs you out of your faults, wflle you

AN oLD-TIME DANCE I'M COLORADO

The Boulder (Col.) Mirror says: Tie
first settlers of Boulder came here in 1875.
In 1859 quite Il number care and some six
ty log houses were erected before 1860 step
ped in. Of these log houses, but a few re-
main Christmas, 1859, saw a jovial crowd
of dancers in one of these houses, window
less, we believe, at that time. The hardy
night in question about two hundred sons
of toll and seekers of gold and their for
tunes, and seventeen ladies, had assembled
at the above named place to partake OF a
frontier lerpsiehorean. Marinus G. Smith
was then one of the beaus of the town, and
his dress suit consisted OF a pair of pants
made out of seamless sacks, and colored
blue by the aid OF logwood. A lady now
diving in town had an elegant dress made
out of flour .acks, also colored by the aid OF
logwood. There were few white shirts in
the neighborhood then, most of the pioneers
| wearing woolIen3or flannel ones. "A man
| with a white shirt on was in style and could
dance with his coat off; Il man without any
would wear a coat buttoned up to the neck.
Coats for dancing purposes did not seem to
be any too numerous. consequently the plo-
neers helped each other out. For instance,
ALI. Nichols had six white shirts, whicl,
were all at that ball, and the coats of those
six white-slirted fellows Went to cover the
backs Of some one else. When one fellow
had a dance lie would lend his coat to an
other, and then his turE would come, and
SO the white shirts and long coats were
dancing all night, and went around among
the 200 men. There were no wall flowers
among the seventeen ladies. But they say
the supper for the occasion was a grand al
fair. Wash boilers full Of coffee, grea
hunks of blacktail deer, jack-rabbits, fish
game, and delicacies brought from the States
III cans, all went to make up Il glorious sup
per-one that the partakers would like t
see repeated. There may not have beer
much style, but the seamless sacks and faeu
bags saw as much pure enjoyment as doe
the finest and gaudiest attire of to-day.

THE H0 III 4 CIR CL L.
DID HE TELL "A LIE9

-
A good story is told of ship owner Of
liverpool, which will bear repeating. Our
merchant was a Quaker, and prided himself
upon his honesty. He would not have old
downright fAlse|ood to save the yalue OF
ho host ship. Jacob Penn was his name.
Once upon a time Friend Jacob suffered
one of his ships to set sail from Calcutta tor
home without any insurance upon either
vessel or cargo. At length he became I'M
EASY. He was confident his ship had en-
countered bad weather, and he feared for
her safety. In this strait he went to his
friend Isaac. He called him Friend, though
am under the impression that Isaac was of
the children OF the world.
+Friend ~Isaa:," he said, II would like for
thee to insure my ship, which is at sea. |
should have done it before, but have care
lessly neglected it. If thee canst have the
policy signed. all ready for delivery, at three
o'clock in the afternoon of the morrow, |
will send and get it, and send thee the mon
ey in full"
Isaac did not seem to be anxious to insure
the ship, but upon being assured that no I'M
favorable intelligence had been heard from
her he said that he would have the policy
made ont, to take effect on and after three
O'clock on the following day, but to cover
the ship and cargo from the date OF leaving
India.
Early on the following morning, Jacob

just arrived, to the effect that his ship was
stranded, and her cargo lost. This was
very unfortunate. Should Friend Isaac
happen to hear the news before the policy
was made out, he would not make it out at
all or, if it was made out and not signed,
he would not sign it. What should he do:
He wanted to act honestly. 1t would not
be right to let Isaac 90 on and make out the
policy under such circumstances. Finally
ne ht upon q plan. lie summoned his con-
hdential clerk, and sent him with this mes

THE most perilons hour of a PERSONS life

who loses his courage loses all; there is no
more hope OF him than Of dead man; but
it matters not how poor he may be, how
much pushed by circumstances, how much
deserted by friends, how much lost to the
world; if he only keeps his courage, holds up
his head, works on with his hands and with
unconquerable will determines TO be and to
do what becomes a man. all will be well. 1t

what is within, that makes or unmakea.

80 much matter whether the old orders
issued by the district, and patiently held
by some unlucky creditors, were paid
or not. Why not let by-gones be by
cones, and look and live only for the
present? II the present officers, and
creditors of 90 could be satisfied, why
borrow trouble about those who to theil
sorrow had trusted the district In years
gone by? Finally, a bright idea flashed
across the minds of the district board
1t was this: Popville was owing 30 81
many hundreds of dollars. (How II
happened, that this debt had accrued,
or where the district money had gone
to, no one seemed to know or care.
Uncharitable people were wont to say
that Popville had squandered 1t on
roads, bridges, and I'm the pockets of her
officials; but then who believed Mdtf)
When the Popvillains paid taxes, they
almost invariably done 1t with 80 or
der. Now, IL the treasurer of POpville
could be stopped from taking 90 orders,
taxpayers must pay cash. Then 90
would present its claims to Popville,
and receive cash, also. So, 80 would
get money with which to pay Its pres
ent officers salaries, and teachers, anu
then pay old obligations when-well---
when 1t became most convenient.
The edict was issued to the Popville
treasurer, and the result awaited. Aud
what was the result? Why II storm
arose among the ancient order-holders,
who demanded that their orders be
paid first. The modern order-holders
declared that the last should be first,
and first, last. In the midst of the
hubbub, one of the district board re-
signed, disgusted because so many OF
the people were bound to think that an
old order should be paid in preference
to a new one.
When Typpoo last visited Popvillc,
the excitement was still ut fever height.
Popville still owed 80, and hadn't the
wherewith to pay. The dear people
complained most savagely; but with an
equal degree of recklessness voted men
into office, year after year, who had
been instrumental i'm bringing about
the trouble and ruin. People said some
body was fearfully to blame, as hun
dreds of dollars had been paid in taxes,
and the money had disappeared; but
where had it gone to? TyppOo ven-
tured the suggestion that the money
had gone the way claimed by the un-
charitable persons. His remark was
met with scern and derision, and lie
was treated us a 'railroad emissary''
and "speculators' stool pigeon" Typ
poo expressed sympathy for the shrewd-
ness of his accusers; but thought II
Popville and 80 could endure their self
imposed affiiction, he would try and
put up with it; and ut once took his de-
parturc for scenes of fresh excitement,
from whence he expects soon to pencil
another sketch for the columns of the
