with all that is expensive about them;
but we must have men and women
whom nature as we'll as training has
made teachers; we must have the heads

personal force which is beyond all other

not cost too dear. Economy beginning

WATCHING DEATH APPROACHING -
None of us know how we would act in
supreme moment Of revealed fate.
Edgar Poe or Victor Hugo could not
have imagined form of death more
completely calculated to test the vic
tins fortitude than the terrible scene
which terminated the life of one John
Conlon, at Norwich, last Friday night.
Conlon, who was pistol maker in that
city, was walking on the railway track
at Norwich Falls, at point where
there is double switch, and accident
ly had one foot caught in frog" in
such way that he was unable to ex-
tricate it. A northern bound train was
coming at full speed, aid Conlon, find
ing himself unable to escape his dool,
half turned, in his chained position,
and faced the engine literally an en-
CINE of death) in defiant way, and
almost smiled as it struck him. His
body was frightfully mangled-almost
literally torn to pieces under the re-
morseless wheels-and when picked up
it presented horrible sight. A part
of his clothing, in which was his revolt
yer, was torn from him by the engine
and carried to Willismantic before it
was discovered. - Hartford (Ct.) Times.

Scarce One.
FROM THE GERMAN OF ALrHSp FRiRDNANs
BY W, l.. SHOEMAKER.

The plough tears up the tawny land
And burrows follow where it goes;
The sower at the seed-time strows
The grain therein with lavish hand.
Thick springs the golden wheat, and like
Stand III the field each haum and spike,
As dismal days that know no change.
Yet in the midst strange, fair flower Is
blooming.
An alien seed was in the grain
The sowor sowcd, and thrive amain
Leaf, thorn, and tiower-cup fair and
strange.
OF life, Time burrows up the land;
We follow each his own path goes;
Scarce one finds in the grain lie strows
One seed of love from Gods own hand.

"Is the doctor in ?" asked an anxious
looking young man, as he paused half
way up the stairway leading to DR..
Stones office, yesterday. "No, / guess

"but you can leave an order on the

ment. "Well, guess l would hardly

WATCHING One s-sELF.-"When
was boy" said an old man, Eve had
a schoolmaster who had an odd way of
catching idle boys. One day he called
out to u.s.:
"'Boys, must have closer attention
to your books. The first one that sees
another idle, want him to inform me,
and l will attend to the case
"Ah." thought I to myself, there is
Joe Simmons that l don't like. I'll
watch him, and if / see him look off
his book, I'll tell" 1t was not long
before l saw Joe look off his book, and
Immediately l informed the master.
"Indeed'' said he; chow do you
know he was idle?'
II saw him." said.
you did? and were your eyes on
your book when you saw him?"
/ was caught, and never watched for
idle boys again.
If we are sufficiently watchful over
our own conduct, we shall have no
time TO find fault with the conduct OF
others.

!Scribner's M,gaziae in yesterdays Tri-
Jupe, has elected note from CORES

visit to London he occupied III Craven
street the same rooms which were
Brownies during his stay in that city.
Artemus was spoken of kindly by every
body in the house, and the landlady
was never weary of descanting upon
his affability and humorous talk. She
said, speaking from personal observa-
ton. that his popularity in the best
social circles of London was something
uncommon, and that she had never
had SO many carriages with coronets
on the panels at her door before or
since. Yet this success came slowly;
the first nights of the lectures were
failures; but soon there was such a
rush to Egyptian Hall that it was mex.

WOman'S Inconsistency.

We do not assert that woman is ALSO
lutely fixed in her love loyalty; but she
is such compared to men. Were she a
hundred times less stable than she is,
he might we'll honor her in that AS his
infinite superior. Love to her means
loyalty, dedication. She is liable to
deceive herself--she is far more liable to
be deceived. But when she gives with
ont reserve or stint the wealth Of her
affection, she plays the prodigal to the
last, unless his conduct stirs her to
count the cost. The law of her being
is not to swerve where her heart leads
the way, nor will she, save exception
ally. Too often, however, her fal ful
heart is driven back by him who sum-
moned it from the tirst-driven back by
neglect and Indifference. rejection
and to shield himself, he calls his
GOODNESS or his cruelty her in
constancy. He is industrious in
finding faults in her that will excuse
his own. He says she is tickle-incon-
slant. She cannot comprehend hov or
why she is so, though she has not :he
holiness to dissent from what she hears
on every hand. She discovers i'll him
extraordinary lapses from loyalty, vio-
lated pledges, sundered ties. These are
not natural to her; but as she, her teach
ers say, was born inconstant, he cannot
be SO, surely. Her divergence from
him helps her in her uprighteous self
condemnation. Her looking at herself
through his eyes draws his defects
and exaggerates her own. He is
her consider and casuist. He always
puts her in the wrong, and graciously
pardops her for the sin he has himself
committed. No marvel her logic is
perplexed, and her ethics are Devil
dered. For such is mans power over
woman. -Lady's Journal.
