The PennIiess Man.

!. BLESSED is the man who is pennies,
for he is never stricken-for a dollar.
The deadhead annnoyeth him not. neither
is he pursued By the book agent. Heis
not grasped by the lghtning-rod seller
The lunch iend turneth away from him.
The trinket vender passeth him by. He
is not asked to invest in church lotteries.
He hath no friends to "treat;" he is poor
and hath no enimies. When he riseth in
the morning his stomach is not rebeilious
from overlooking, neither does he cIipkf
and say, ssHow shall 1 get rid of these
dimess When he eateth he is not vexed
by multitude of dishes. His lands will
never take unto them wings, neither will
the fire devour his water lots. !fia
He isnot perplexed about taxes, neither
eareth he for the rise in lumber. He
hath no ties for money, therefore, ca1eth
not TO demonetize;, nevertheless dime
Will he not refuse, nor turn away from a
tiye-center. Yea, a gerkin will he relish,
and storm the outworks of steelclad
biscuit. He loyeth none but himself; he
IS selfish; yea, fond of fish, clans and
chowder, oysters raw and Holsters in
vinegar will he not despise. He maketh
his lair in a harroom; he squatteth on
keg while it is day, and sleepeth in a
barrel at night. Where scent of whisky
is, there he is found; he snuffeth the
lunch with frenzy, and crieth hal ha!
at the chink of glasses. He iYeth like a
ringtaAed Mode, and dieth like spotted
Jehoshaphat.

Culture.

There are two theories of self-training,
IN which people expect to reach that
which is fairest and best. One Of these
is the Christian theory of service for
others by faithful LABOR and self-denial in
their behalf; the other is the pagan the
DRY Of self-development and careful per-
sonal training. The result of the one is a
soldlerly Christian character; the fruit of
the other is couture"
Far be it from us to say one word
against culture as a means to a higher
end or as an incident in reaching that
end. Culture is one of the finest fruits of
mental training. 1t is that polishing of
the minds machinery which makes it not
only run smoothly, but also shine. It is
that large requirement Of information
that extended familiarity with the words
and ways of men, and that breadth OF
sympathy with the thoughts and feelings
OF men, which smooth off the roughness
In ones character, which make one toler-
ant OF the notions and pecuiarities OF
other people, and which give man intelli-
gent and easy ,companionship with other
men. @'i s-
There is something very attractive
about culture, and we hear its praises
sounded so much that there is in this
stage OF our civilization great and increas-
ing danger ofits being made an end of pur
suit. 1t sounds we'll to speak of develop
ing ones powers, charging ones sphere
OF knowledge, acquiring polish, by
study, by literary pursuits, by making
one's-selt delightful associate. Culture,
culture-it is a little god with thousands
of young people. who fail to see it's essen
tiai selfiishness. .-.. ...-
There is word, dSzzeta7ate, which has
come to us from the Italian, which ex-
presses just little of the weakness of
culture when pursued as an end. It
suggests that purposelessness of culture
which distinguishes it from the intensity
Of manly character that works for an
end. A manly man cannot help feeling
a healthy contempt for any life which
ends only in its own amusement and
pleasure, no matter how refined that
amusement may be. Cultivation for the
sake of culture, sunlight for the sake of
sunshine, polishing for the sake of polish
there is something empty and con.
temptible in the very thought of such a
life. . , ..-- :. ~. .-... j
Culture is good, is beautiful; but cul-
ture for cultures sake, we say, is con-
temptible because it is utterly selfish
and therefore unworthy. The grand men
in the world have been the men who
have taken hold of other men and lifted
them, instead of lifting at their own boot
straps. No mans name goes down to
the ages as a name Of enthusiasm and
power, who has not in him tremendous
will to accomplish something great and
good outside Of himself. This is the very
essence of Christianity, whichis goodness.
My Father worketh hitherto, and 1
work. There is the example of God and
Christ, ana the grand bidding to the
disciple is, "Work while the day lasts.'
"He went about doing good is the record
of the Master, and go work today in
nv vineyard" is his command. "-.

The Kiss of Peace.

FishWives and other market women
have long enjoyed reputation for tru-
culence of speech and manner, not only
IN England, but IN most parts Of the
world. A Russian Colonel, who has late
~ been appointed Chief Police Master of
one Of the most popular towns Of the Bal
tic Provinces, has hit upon novel but
truly Oriental plan for the civilization Of
these charitable danes. He knew that
preaching moral homlly would be of no
use whatever where the hearers were two
women who were cursing one another at
the rate of 100 words minute. who were
only prevented from tearing one another's
faces by the strong arm of the police.
"You must be locked up in one and the
same cell un1il you have kissed each 9th

Of the new Magistrate in every case Of
female brawl which was brought before
him.. ~,.- -.-
He knew very well that although kiss
ing one another is a habit with male
Russians, it is not much in use with the
women of Muscovy, least Of all with
fshwives. The excited ladies were hur-
ried off, rallied for a time louder than
ever, protested that they would die soon

Extravaganza of Funerals.

It was very sensible clergyman. at
Plttsburg who recently read a paper upon
the expensiveness OF funerals; and they
were very sensible colleagues who adopt
cd his views as their opinion. Mere fash
ion is nowhere more hateful than in the
burying of the dead, and none the less
hateful because it imposes enormus ex-
penses upon those who cannot afford
them. The savings Of year are often
squandered in the idle ostentation Of a
funeral. It is not ar unnatural feeling
among the poor that the last service they
can render to beloved friend shall not
fail in any usual distinction, and the re-
Suits that a living family is often strait
ened that a dead member of it may lie
in mahogany coffin and be followed by
long train of carriages to his grave.
Reform must come from those who sset
the fashion, y and modest simplicity in
funerals can be attained only. by the ex-
ample Of those who can afford to be ex-
travagant. s,s.}r yssf. .,fs f., Il. .t.s.s.
The worthy undertaken, who lives ~
the death of his fellowcreatures, is nat
urally des1rous that grief shall be lavish
ly manifested, and be encourages, to the
utmost this sombre splendor. The young
American used to be shocked as he read
in English stories of mutes and mou ming
carriages, OF men hired to wear the garb
of sorrow, and OF grief measured by a
train Of emptiness. Two or three wears
ago the movement against this extraya-
gance began in England, and it has the
public sympathy and support OF very en-
inent persons. Ithas shown itself in this
country by the common request, with tho
announcement of a death, that no flowers
be sent. A simple and beautiful tribute
of affection has grown into an oppressive
fashion, and certain flowers have become
odious to many persons from their con
slant association with funerals.
aS& When such gifts are in truth the offer
ings Of love and sympathy, no symbols
can be more touching, but ,he moment
they spring from the mere force of fash
ionable cusiume, and are sent to the
house of mourning as gifts are sent by
formal acquaintance to bride, with no
more. feeling than IN the leaving Of cere-
monious visiting-cards, they are touch
ing and significant no longer. The change
in the mere fashion Of flowers upon such
occasions can be carried by the same
good sense into every other funeral ex-
travagance, so that the poor need no long,
er feel that their dead are sighted if
they are not buried with luminous ex-
pense.
There was another suggestion made at
Pittsburg which is worthy of consider
alton. 1t was proposed that funeral ser
mons as a matter of course should not be
preached and to this suggestion there
will be probably very general amen,

1t again fell to her lot to 90 out to dinner

until she had to laugh in spite of herself,
and they began to be the envy of the
whole table, and were pressed with queries
as to what amused them.
The lady told this in the presence of
another bright woman, who lives in quite
another part o: the country. They both
happened to be in New York on a visit.
The story pleased her very much. She
went home, and being at dinner-party
herself, she narrated,lt producing peals of
laughter from everybody but a single
