An &necdOtc Of n. =. Willis.

An article by Mrs Elizabeth Oakes
Smith, entitled "Reminiscences Ot n. y.
Willis" appears in Baldwin's Monthly,
from which we take the subjoined auec-
dete:
Mr.. Willis VAS always ready with a
good word for any man or woman strug.
Cling with the sensitiveness of genius
over the thorny way OF poverty or neg
lect. With delicate tact he would find
a way to set them right in the public
mind, while so many editors passed them
by in silence or gave them sharp prick
with the critical pen. remember one
case in point Emily Chubbuck, viva
cious and poeticsl woman, had been
writing ior mere pittsnce for papers and
magazines, while Others, with no more
poetic ability and no more scope of
thought, were well paid and well ac-
cepted by the public. She complained
of this to Mr.. Willis, in half-playfu
halt,aggrieved letter, to which he re-
piled:
"How can you expect Snything bet
ter? Your genius is not of kind to AZ
filiate with your name. Who will read a
poem signed 'Chubbuck? Sign yourself
Fanny Forester and you will see the
change"
She did so, and her success was COM
plete, as those who have followed the
fortunes of this interesting woman, at.
terward the wife of the East Indian
missionary, Judson, will remember.

Happy Form of Insanity.

Prof. Mcdonald recently delivered an
exceedingly interesting lecture at the
University Medical College, New York
city, on that form OF insanity known as
general paresis. The lecture was illus,
trated by eight inmates OF Wards Island
Asylum, who sat quietly on the platform
until called upon to speak. The cases
of general paresis generally come from
the better class of society. At first the
patient suffers general mental depression,
and that is followed by elation of the
spirits to such degree that the victim
always imagines himself possessed Of
great wealth, power, or social influence.
After occupying half an hour in lectur-
ing, Prof. Mcdonald called up the
patients one by one to speak for them
selves They spoke freely in answer to
questions, each claiming for himself
enormous wealth, power, and influence.
The professor said that popularity
about these patients was that they not
only believed themselves to be sane but
never doubled the sanity of other patients
similarly stilicted. They often formed
co-partnerships in the asylum for carry
ing on great enterprises. He knew s
patient who imagined that he owned al
the steamships in the world, and another
who imagined that he owned all the
dried apples in the world. They formed
Il co-psrtnership, agreeing that the dried
apples should be shipped on board The
steamers and transported to all points O
the world, calculating the profits n,
fabulous amounts

Men are supposed to know, or to be
able to find cut, whether or not they are
on the Lords side. The question implies
as much There are various tests which
we crn apply that will settle the question
for US very soon.
Take it in matters OF everyday life,
in business, in buying, selling, winning
the prizes of life, there is a side which
is "the Lords side" DO you ask,
What is it? 1t is the side OF honesty
and integrity and truth the side that
gives a man an equivalent for his
money; that has but one price for the
Al iticle at the same time that puts sixty
minutes into an hours work, and
sixteen ounces into the pound, and thirty
six inches into the yard, and four
pecks into the bushel, and 100 cents inlo
a dollar; that doesn't put sand in sugar
nor pease in coffee the side that is per~
pendicular against all the tricks and
sharp practices, the lies of utterance and
the lies of silence; Il business which lays
its course like a vessel along the meri-
dian of right, in the teeth of all winds,
and holds to it, blow they high or blow
they low that is the side which God is
on. h" the Lords side"
Perhaps you have throught that the
Lord has no side, exceNt in matters
purely religious; that the whole realm
of business and our worldly affairs gen
orally lie quite outside his cognizance;
that God comes into our families at the
hour of prayer, meets US in our closets,
goes with US to church, and then virtu
ally retires from us. A greater mistake
could not possibly be made. God is
as much interested in your business as
in your worship, and he looks it
through with as keen an eye. You are
making character great deal faster in
your shop, and Office, aud store, than you
do in church, because men usually put a
great deal more energy and lite into
their business than they do into their
worship. All these powers whose exer'
else goes to make character, to determine
and decide destiny are put by most men
to far higher tension in the places oI
business than in the place Of worship.
There is more soul saving and soul
losing done on those streets and in those
places where men congregate 10 do busi,
ness, than in all our churches. That il
my belief.
The Lords side in our business affairs
is very definite and clear.cut side.--

Dogs i'm Boots.

"Puss in Boots" is a mythical person.
age, but the dog in boots is no imaginary
creature. In the regions of eternal snow
and ice, where the only beast of burden
is the dog, the cold is sometimes so intense
that sharp icicles form between the claws
of the canine sledge travellers. This
causes most serious obstacle to the
speedy progression OF the dogs, and would,
after Jew days, render them utterly un-
fit for their laborious duties, as the icicles
grow larger and larger as they 60 on,
until the poor creatures are quite unable
to stand. The older dogs, however, will
every now and then stop and bite off the
icicles from their feet. Not so with the
novice. He tiudges wearily along !;
every step he takes adds to his torture,
and after a time every imprint of | is
foet on the snow bears red stain from
his cut and bleeding paws. At such
times the dog boot is called into requisi-
ton by the driver, principally for
policy, but occasionally, let us hope, out
of humanity. The dog boot is generally
made OF raw hide, and is simply shaped
like small bag or pocket. This is
drawn over the foot OF the animal and
made secure by tying itaround the ankle
with leather string. Thus protected,
il the surface Of the snow is pretty level,
these wonderful Esquimaux dogs Will
travel at the rate of forty miles day for
many days in succession.-lJ Journal OF

Supposed Truths,

He who surpasscs or subdues mankind
must look down on the hate of those be,
low
Life becomes useless and insipid when
we have no longer either friends or enc
mics.
Dignity is expensive, and without
other good qualities is not particularly
profitable.
We must never remember the benefits
we have conferred, nor forget the favors
received.
An able man shows his spirit by gentle
words and reS0lute actions; his is neither
hot nor timid.
Cities force growth, and make men
talkative and entertaining, but they also
make them artificial.
You had better learn to conquer your
own will than strive to obtain the mas
terry of that of sthers.
Friendship is the medicine for all mis-.
fortunes, but ingratitude dries up the
fountain of goodness"
Make no more VOWS to perform this or
that; il shows 10 great strength, and
makes thee ride behind thyselt
We every day sacrifice principles
which we esteem through fear of being
blamed by people whom we despise.
Man wastes his mornings in anticipat
ing his afternoons, and wastes his after
moons in regretting his mornings.
Never plead guilty to poverty. So
tar as the world is concerned, you might
better admit that you are villain.
Jealous men are ever displaying to you
the strength of their belief, while Judi.
cious men are showing you the grounds
of it.
1t is curious that some learned ounces,
because they can write nonsense in dead
languages, think themselves better than
men who can talk sense in living ones.
1t is the vice of the unlearned to sur
pose that the knowledge of books is OF
no account, and The vice of scholars to
think there is no other knowledge worth
having.
