The Use Of Pain.

The power which rules the universe,
this great, tender power, uses pain as a
signal Of danger. Just, generous, beau
tiful Nature never strikes foul blow;
never attacks us behind our backs; never
digs pitfalls or lays ambuscades; never
wears smiles upon her face when there
is vengeance in her heart. Patiently she
teaches US her laws; plainly she writes
her warnings; tenderly she graduates
their force. Long before the fierce red
danger-light of pain is flashed, she pleads
with us, as if for her own sake, not ours,
to be merciful to ourselves and to each
other. She makes the overworked brain
to wander from the subject of its labors
she turns the over-indulged body against
the delights of yesterday. These are her
caution signals, 600 slow" She stands
in the filthy courts and alleys that we
pass daily, and beckons US to enter
and realize with our senses what
we allow to exist in the midst
Of the culture of which we Drag.
Ana what do we do for ourselves! We
ply whip and opur on the jaded brain as
though it were jibing horse-force it
back into the road which leads to mad
ness, and go on full gallop. We drug the
rebellious body with stimulants; we hide
the signal and think we have escaped the
danger, and are very festive before night.
We turn aside, as the Pharisee did of old,
and pass ON the other side with our hand
karchief to our nose. At last, having
broken Natures laws, and dlsregarded
her warnings, forth she comes-drums
beating, coIors flying right in front to
punish us. Then we go down on our
knees and whimper about it having pleas
ed God Almighty to send this afiiction
upon us, and pray him to work mira
Gle in order to reverse the natural conse-
quences of our disobedience, or save us
from the trouble of doing our duty. In
other words, we put our finger in the fire,
and beg that it may not hurt.

A LITTLE WHILE.

What Is this that He saith?
as 1t but littlo while
And trouble ana pain and death
Shall vanish before his smile.
"a little while" and the load
Shall drop at the pilgrims feet,
Where the steep and thorny road
Doth merge in the golden street.
But what is this that He saithf
"a little while" and the day
or the servant that laboreth
Shall be done forever and aye.
o the truth that is yet untold!
o the songs that are yet unsungi
D the suffering manifold,
And the sorrows that have no tonguet
0 the helpless hands held out,
And the maynard feet that stray
In the desolate paths OF doubt
And the sinners downward way!
For silence soon win fall
On the lips that burn for speech,
And the needy and poor that call
VIII forever be out Of reach.
For the work that ye must do
Before the coming of death
There remaineth, o faithful few,
But little while" He saith.

Hunting for a Word.

An anecdote of Moore, the irish poet
shows how much pains writer will take,
who does good work, to put the right
word in the right place. Moore was on
visit to literary friend in France, and
while there wrote short poem.
One day while the guest was engaged
in his literary labor the two took stroll
into an adjacent wood, and the host soon
perceived that his companion was given
up to his own thoughts; he was silent
and distracted, noticing neither his friend
and entertainer nor the beauties of the
surrounding landscape.
By-and-bye he began to gnaw the fng-
er-tips of his gloves; pulling and twitch-
ing spasmodically, when this had gone on
for long time his friend ventured to
ask him what was the trouble.
"I'll tell you," said Moore. ~ have
left at home upon my table poem in
which is word do not like. The line
is perfect save that one word, and that
word is perfect save its infection. Thus
it is" and he repeated the line and asked
his friend if he could help him.
1t was delicate point. The friend
saw the need, saw where and how the
present word Jared just the slightest
possible bit upon the exquisite harmony
of the cadence; but he could not supply
the want.
The twain cudgeled their brains until
they reached the house on their return
without avail.
The rest of the day was spent as usual
as was the evening, save that ever and
anon Moore would sink into silent fits in
pursuit of the absent word. And so came
on the night, and the poet went to bed in
deep study.
The following morning was bright and
beautiful, and Moore came down from his
chamber with bounding step, with a
scrap of paper IN his hand and glorious
light in his genial countenance.
The word had come to him! He had
awoke during the night, and the kind ge.
MUS of inspiration had visited his pillow,
and he had got up and torn scrap from
his notebook, and at the window, by
the light of the moon, had made the
thought secure.
"There," he said, when he had incorpo,
rated it into the text; "there it is-only
a simple single word, word as common
as a, B, C, and yet it cost me twelve hours
of unaagging labor to find it and put il
where it is. Who could believe itf'
