HoRATIo BoNAR.
Up and away like the dew Of the morning
That scars from the earth to its home in the sun,
So let me steal away, gently and lovingly,
Only remembered by what have done.
My name, and my place, and my tomb all forgotten,
The brief race of time well and patiently run,
So let me pass away, peacefully, silently,
Only remembered by what what have done.
Gladly away from this toll would hasten,
Up to the crown that for me has been won;
Unthought of by man in rewards or IN praises,
Only remembered by what have done.
Up and away, like the odors of sunset,
That sweeten the twilight as evening comes on;
So be my ife-a thing felt but not noticed
And but remembered by what have done.
Yes, like the fragrance that wanders in freshness
When the flowers that it came from are closed up
and gone,
SO would be to this worlds weary dweers
Only remembered by what have done.
need not be missed, if my life has been bearing
Gas its summer and autumn move silently on,)
The bloom, and the fruit and the seed of its season.
shall still be remembered by what have done.
Needs there the praise of the love-written record
The name and the epitaph graved on the stone?
The things we have lived for-let them be story
We ourselves remembered by what we have done.
1 need not be missed if another succeed me,
To reap down the fields which in spring l have
sown;
He who ploughed and sowed is not missed by the
reaper,
He is only remembered by what he has done.
Not myself but the truth that in life have spoken
Not myself, but the seed that in life have sown-
Shall pass on to ages-all about me forgotten
Save the truth l have spoken, the things have
done.
So let my living be-so be my dying
So let my name lie, unblazoned, unknown.
Unpraised and unmissed, shall still be remembered;
Yes, but remembered by what have done.

MANS AGE.

Few men die of old age. Almost all
die of disappointment, passion, mental
or bodily toll or accident. Passion kills
men sometimes, even suddenly. The
common expression, choked with passion,
has little exaggeration in it; for even
though not suddenly fatal, strong pas
sions shorten life; strong bodied men
oIUen uIe yuuug weak men i've louger
than the strong. for the strong use their
strength and the weak have none to use.
The latter take care of themselves, the
former do not. AS it is with the body.
so it is with the mind and temper. The
strong are apt to break, or, like the can
die, to run out. The inferior animals,
which live in general regular and tenn.
perate lives, have generally their pre-
scribed number of years. The horse
lives twenty-five years; the OK fifteen or
twenty; the lion about twenty; the dog
ten or twelve; the rabbit eight; the
Guinea pig six or seven years. These
numbers all bear a similar proportion
to the time the animal takes to grow its
full size. But man. of the animals, is
one that seldom comes up to this aver
age. He ought to live hundred years
according to this physiological law. as
five times twenty are one hundred; but
instead of that he scarcely reaches, on
an average, twice his growing period;
the cat SIX times, and the rabbit eight
times this standard of measurement.
The reason is obvious-man is not only
the most irregular and the most intem-
perate, but the most laborious and hard
working of all animals; and there is
reason to believe, though we cannot tell
what an animal secretly feels, that more
than any other animal man cherishes
wrath to keep warm and consumes him.
self with the fire of his own secret re-
hections.

ever. Not by word, look or tone did
she betray her secret suffering. But at
the end of year she had lost every
vestige of youth and health. A pale,
gaunt old woman, she sat in her easy
chair now.
One morning she called me to her. 1t
was on my nineteenth birthday.

her meaning. Then she said:
"They have little daughter, vi, and
they have named her after me Ray
Lalor. vi Shall we have them back,
Vi?"
She looked at me wistfully. There
was brief strife between the good and
the evil, and then replied:
at is Dead Sea fruit, mamma. We
will have them back. l can look upon
Albert as my brother now.''
Thank Heaven - exclaimed Madame
Viele.
And three days later Albert, Peri and
the little Ray were established at Gray
Fell.

Senator Edmund's position at the
head Of the lawyers of the Senate makes
his opinion of any pending measure of
commanding Importance. This preemi-
nence as lawyer and the fervency of
of his republican faith combined to rem
der it peculiarly fitting that he should
sum up the views of the minority in the
Senate upon the Army bill. as he did
yesterday. before the vote was taken.
His speech is a mastery defence of the
rights of the Executive Department
against encroachments by Congress and
the States, and is thorough and un-
answerable argument for the necessity Of
having power where there is law to be
enforced. Senator Edmund's speeches
are never sensational, and this one was
no. so, though made upon subject
where warmth is so excusable. But its
arguments were none the less effective
on that account. After a brief and tell
ing speech by Mr.. Blaine, the bill was
passed by party vote, and now goes to
meet. in all probability, second veto.

THE HUMAN MANUFACTORY.

A man may eat and drink heartily all
day, and sit and lounge about "doing
nothing" in one sense of the word, but
his body must keep hard at work all the
time, or it will die. Suppose the stomach
refuses to work within ten minutes after
hearty dinner, the man would die in
convulsions in few hours, or cholera or
cramp collie would rack and wreck him.
Suppose the "pores' of the skin-mean-
ing thereby the glandular apparatus
with which they are connected-should
60 on strike" we would in an hour
be burning up with fever, or, "oppres-
sion" would weigh down the system and
soon become insupportable. Suppose the
liver become "mulish;;" appetite would
become annihilated, food would be
loathed. torturing pains would invade
the "small Of the back" and the head
would ache to bursting" Suppose the
kidneys "shut up shop" and dangers
more imminent, suferings more unbeara-
BILE, and death more certain would be
the speedy and inevitable results. If
the little workshops of the eye should
"close," in an hour we could not shut
or open them without physical force. and
in another we would be blind or of the
tongue, and it would become as dry as
a bone and as stiff as steel. To keep
such complication of machineries in
working order for lifetime is a miracle
of wisdom but to ''work them by the
pleasures of eating and drinking is

A REMARKABLE RESCUE.

The rescue of party of imprisoned
miners, at Wilkesbarre, Pa, few days
since, was one of the most remarkable
cases of the kind on record. They were
shut in by the falling in of a large por-
tion of the mine; and the only way to
release them was to cut passage-way
of 200 feet through rock, slate and
coal. This was accomplished in four
days and nights. During the latter part
of the time, as there were indications of
fre-damp, the driving and cutting of the
coal had to be done with the pick alone.
Mine superintendent Smith was the
first to enter. He found some of the
men cooking breakfast from steaks taken
from the mule which the boy who was
sent to alarm the men of the impending
disaster had fortunately taken with him.
The mule was killed by the men on the
second day of their Imprisonment. The
remainder of the party were engaged in
changing the direction Of an air course.
The entire party-consisting of seven
men and boys-used all possible dispatch
in getting out of the mine, when they
were received by an enthusiastic crowd
which cheered the rescued men and their
deliverers. The entombed miners say
that during Saturday and Sunday they
could hear the rescuing party firing
blasts. When the blasting ceased they
believed that the work had been stopped
and they were abandoned to their fate
They say they could have subsisted at
least two weeks longer, had it been
necessary, upon their supply of mule
meat. A running stream of water sup
piled them with the means to satisfy
thirst. The men had been imprisoned
FIVE and half days. The sum of $l00
has been presented to each of the res
cued miners by the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal Go.

for mind and body is the secret of man.
aging children. And it will take great
deal of ingenuity to keep up with the
demands, for anything gets old so quick
with the children. Don't, if you can
possibly help it, turn away your chill
dren when they come to you with their
work or play, JOY or sorrow. A play or
a piece of work is appreciated fully only
when mamma has seen it, or given her
approval Take your children into your
confidence, talk to them as if you SYM

Praise their endeavors, correct their
errors, and encourage their efforts, and
see how soon you will have full control
of their little hearts, and how easily
they can be led into desirable ways.
But it takes patience and forbearance
and strong sense of duty. We are SO
selfish, we are so tired, we are so yexed
by the little worries and cares. that, like
nettles, prick our peace. There is such
temptation to vent our i'll temper on the

How TO GET ALoNG.-Pay as you 60.
Never fool in business matters.
Do not kick every one in your path.
Learn to think and act for Yourself.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times.
Don't stop to tell stories IN business
hours.
Have order, system. regularity and
also promptness.
Do not meddle with business you
know nothing of.
Use your own brains rather than those
of others.
A man of honor respects his word as
he does his bond
No man can get rich by sitting around
stores and saloons.
If you have place of business, be
found there when wanted.
More miles can be made in day by
going steadily than by running and
jumping.
