Don't Waste Vital Energy.

The most vigorous persons do moi
have too much vitality, People gen
orally inherit lack; or at least find
that much vital energy has been per.
manently lost in their childhood and
youth through the ignorance or care
lessness of their parents. Often it is
impaired by wrong indulgence in early
manhood. The endeavor with all per.
sons should be to husband what is left,
be it much or little. Therefore:
/. Don't do anything in a hurry.
2. Don't work to many hours day,
whether it be teamwork, shop work,
study work or house work.
3. Don't abridge sleep. Get the full
eight hours of it, and that, too, in q
well-ventilated and sun-purife1 room.
4. Don't eat what is indigestible,
nor too much of anything, and let
good cheer rule the hour.
70, Don't fret al, yourself, or anybody
else; nor indulge in the blues, nor burst
into fits of passion.
6. Don't be too much elated with
good luck, or dishear1ened by bad.
Positively--be self-controlled. calm
and brave. Let your brain have all the
rest it needs. Treat your stomach
right. Keep good conscience, and
have cheerful trust in God for ali
things and for both worlds.

AnecdOte of Burns.

Andrew Horner and Burns were
pitted against each other to write poet.
ry. An epigram was the subject chosen,
because, as Andrew internally argued,
sit is the shortest of all poems" In
compliment to him, the company re-
solved that his own merits should sup
ply the theme. He commenced
In seventeen hunder thretty.nine-
and he paused. He then said: "Ye
see, was born in 1879 (the real date
was some years earlier) so I max that
the commencement" He then took his
pen in hand, folded his paper with q
conscious air of authorship, squared
himself to the table, like one who con-
sidercd it no trifle even to write let
ter, and slowly put down. in good
round hand, as if lie had been making
out bill of parcels, the line
In seventeen hunder thretty-nine!
but hey ond this, after repeated at
tempts, he was unabl to advance. The
second line was the Rubicon he could
not pass. At last, when Andrew Hor-
ner reluctantly admitted that he was
not quite in the vein, the pen, ink and
paper were handed to his antagonist.
BY him they were rejected, for he in
stantly gave the following, viva voce:
In seventeen hunder thretty-nine,
The dell gat stuff to maf swine,
And pit it in a corner;
But, shortly after changed his plan,
Made it to something like q man,
And called it Andrew Horner.

Harriet HOsmer.

1t is reported from London that Miss
Harriet Hosmer, the American sculptor,
has invented plan for changing lime
stone into marble by boiling it. and
that, furthermore, she has snatched
from the undiscovered country of re-
search a new soul of power in the form
of a permanent magnet. These be the
things that fill the Arabian Nights col
umn in the daily papers and are then
heard of no more. Miss Hosmer is a
distinguished and honored artist, and
has made fame and money out of the
natural marble, so that there seems to
be no necessity for her boiling down a
large stock of raw material. 1t is
thirty years since first met this lady.
l had called upon an old gentleman who
had retired from the battle of life to o
cottage in the village of Watertown,
near Boston. While talking with him
the parlor door burst oper as if Boreas
were behind it, and there appeared the
gypsy-looking face of a young girl, with
bright, laughing eyes, and hair cut
close like boys. As the door opened
she exclaimed: "Why am I the widest
girl in town." "Why?" retorted the
old gentleman, with % quizzical look.
Because" said the laughing girl, "be-
cause I have been on 6ust all day."
With this she ran out of the house, and
in few minutes 1 saw her pulling a
boat on the Charles river, with long
stroke that looked almost professional.
This young girl was Harriet Hosmer,
and she was then modelling her first
head. Alas for the fight OF Time! The
young girl must now be nearly fifty
