Living too Fast.

Men are living too fast. Idleness and
indulgence have begotten pride and dis
content. The age is thirsty for luxury.
The very paupers of our cities scOrn the
patched garments and simple fare which
once satisfied the well.to do; the young
clerk must live in house about as luxu-
riously furnished as his employers, though
he steal to support his establishment; the
servants rival their mistresses in the cost
illness and elaborateness of their attire,
though to do it, they waste the savings
which they may need to keep them from
want aud from ruin. The young couple
who begin at home must have it as richly
decorated as that of those who have labor
ed for years and there is an utter unwill-
ingness on the part of too many Co be con-
tent with simple surroundings We must
change our standards of judgement, and
learn to rate the people at what they are,
and not what they have. This is a mon
ey-worshiping age; men of vicious princi-
plies, through the elink of gold, summon
hosts Of admirers, others are tolerated for
the baubles the mob scramble for; and
still others are permitted to occupy posts
of honor in church and state which they
only obtain by their wealth. Men live in
the fear of gold, and not of God and seek
the honor of man, and not the honor that
cometh from above.
There should be q return to more sim
pie, more honest wayso living. 1t should
be deemed dishonorable to live beyond
ones means no man should be encour-
aged to spend few feverish years in lux
ury at the risk of breaking down and max
ing a dishonorable ending.

What the Thumb Does.

Have you noticed that when you want
to take hold of anything, bit of bread,
we will say, that it is always the thumb
who puts himself forward, and that he is
always on one side by himself, while the
rest of the fingers are on the other?
If the thumb is not helping, nothing
stops in your hand, and you don't know
what to do with it. Try, by way of ex-
pertinent, to carry your spoon to your
mouth without putting your thumb to it,
and you will see what long time it will take
to get through poor little plateful of broth.
The thumb is placed in such a manner
on your hand that it can face each of the
other fingers; one after the other, or alto
gether, as you please, and by this we are
enabled to grasp, as if within a pair of
pineers, all objects, whether large or small
Our hands owe there perfection of use
fuluess to this happy arrangement, which
has been bestowed on no other animal ex-
cept the monkey, our nearest neighbor.

A MORTGAGE.-In the whole range of
sacred and profane literature, perhaps there
is nothing recorded which has such stay
ing qualities as a good healthy mortgage.
A mortgage can be depended upon to stick
closer than brother. 1t has q mission
to perform which never lets up. Day after
day it is right there, nor does the slightest
tendency to slumber impair its vigor in
the night. Night and day, on the Sabbath,
and at holiday times, without moments
time for recreation, the biting offspring
of its existence, interest, goes on. The
season may change, days run into weeks,
weeks into months, and months be swal-
lowed up into the gray mansions Of advan-
cling years, but that mortgage stands up
in sleepless vigilance; with the interest,
a perennial stream eeaselessly running on.
Like huge nightmare eating out the
sleep of some restless slumberer, the unpaid
mortgage rears up its gaunt front in per-
petual 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 its hideous presence,
A genial savage of modifying aspect while
the interest is paid; very devil of hope
less destruction when the payments fail.

THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS.

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
The melancholy days are come.
The saddest Of the year,
Ofwailing winds, and naked woods.
And meadows brown and sere
Heaped in the hollows OF the grove,
The withered leaves lie dead;
They rustic to the eddying gust
And 70 the rabbits tread.
The robin and the wren are flown,
And from the shrub the jay,
And from the woOd-top calls the crow
Through all the gloomy day.
Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers,
That lately sprung and stood
In brighter light and softer airs,
beauteous sisterhOOd?
Alas they all are in their graves;
The gentle race Of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds
With the fair and good Of ours.
The rain is falling were they lie;
But the cold November rain
Calls not from out the gloomy earth,
The lovely ones again.
The wind-fiower and the violet.
They perished long ago,
And the wild-rose and the orehis died,
Amid the summer glow;
But on the hill the golden-rod,
And the aster in the wood,
And the yellow sun n-fiower by the brook
In autumn beauty stood,
Till fell the frost from the clear cold heaven.
As falls the plague on men,
And the brightness Of their smile was gone
From upland glade, and glen.
And now, when comes the calm. mid day,
As still such days viii come,
To call the squirrel and the bee
From out their winter home,
When the sound of ofdropping nuts is heard.
Though all the trees are still,
And twinkle in the smoky light
The waters OF the rill,
The south wind searches for the flowers
Whose fragrance late he bore,
And sighs to find them in the wood
And by the stream no more.
And then think of one who in
Her youthful beauty died,
The fair meek blossom that grew up
And faded by my side:
In the cold moist earth we laid her
When the forest cast the leaf,
And we wept that one so lovely
Should have life so brief;
Yet not unmeet Il was that one,
Like that young friend of ours,
So gentle, and so beautiful,
should perish with the flowers.
