Economy Necessary to success.

The most important element to success is
economy-economy of money and economy
of time. BY economy we do not mean pen
uriousness, but merely such wholesome thrift
as will disncline to spend our time or money
without an adequate return either in gain or
enjoyment. An economical application of
time brings leisure and method, and enables
Us to drive our business, instead of our bust
ness driving us. There is nothing attended
with results so disastrous as such miscalcu-
lation of our time and means as will involve
us in perpetual hurry and difficulty. The
brightest talents must he ineffective under
such pressure, and life of expedients has
no end but penury. Worldly success, how
ever, though universally coveted, can be only
desirable in so far as it contributes to happi-
ness, and it will contribute to happiness very
little, unless there be cultivated a lively ben
evidence to every animated being. ''Happi-
ness. it has been finely observed, sis in the
proportion of the number of things we love,
and the number of things that love
u.s." To this sentiment we must cordially
subscribe, and we should wish to see it writ
ing its fruits of charity. The man, whatever
be his fame, or fortune, or intelligence, who
can treat lightly another's woe-wio is not
bound to his fellowmen by the magic tie of
sympathy, deserves, ay, and will obtain the
contempt of human kind. Upon him all the
gifts of fortune are thrown away. Happi-
ness he has none. His life is dream, mere
lethargy, without throb of human emotion
and he will descend to the grave "unwept
unhonored and unsung." Such fate is not
to be envied; and let those who are inten,
upon success, remember that success is moth
ing without happiness.

LOCKS AND KEYS.

Locks are as plenty grains Of sand
Under the sea and over the lands
Locks hat are strong strong can be-
But what is u lock without a key!
We hunt and hunt the whole house DER
For the missing key that was in the door.
Aud peace comfort, I'll be bound,
Will come till the truant key lie found.
This piece OF steel, with its curious make,
We prize for the hidden treasures sake,
And guard il well with ring or clasp
To keep il out of the vandal's grasp.
Do you never think, o neighber mine,
That oar hearts have locks both strong and tine
To guard the wealth that therein may be.
And that some dear hand must hold the key.
A tender word, in the hour of pain,
Will bring forth tears like the summer rain;
Tears long pent up, like jewels bright,
Long hid from the glorious morning light.
And after the tears will come the calm,
The blessed rest, the healing balm;
nd less and less will seem the woe
That othtr souls our sorrowe know
A loving kiss will prove key
To the children's hearts SO sweet and free,
And kind words scattered here and there
Are keys TO the holy gates OF prayer

Concerning the Memory.
scientific American ]

The Medical Press and Circular gives
some entertaining statistics of memory, from
NJ. Delaunay. The inferior races of man.
kind, such as negroes, the Chinese, etc, have
more memory than those of a higher type OF
civilization. Primitive races which were
unacauanted with the art of writing had a
wonderful memory, and were for ages in
the habit of handing down from one genera
ton TO another hymns as voluminous rs the
Bible. Prompters and professors of decla-
nation know that women have more memo
nv than men. French women will learn n
foreign language quicker than their hus-
bands. Youths have more memory than
adults. 1t is well developed in children, at
tains its maximum about the four
teenth or fifteenth year, and then
decreases. Feeble individuals of u
Emphatic temperament have more memory
than the strong. Students who obtain the
prize for memory and recitation chiefly
belong to the former class. Partisan students
have also less memory than those who come
from the provinces. At the Ecoie Normale
and other schools the pupils who have the
best memory are not the most intelligent
The memory is more developed among the
peasantry than among citizens, and among
the clergy than among the laity. The mem.
ory remains intact in diseases of the left side
of the brain, and is much affected in those OF
the right from which it may be inferred that
the right side is more the seat of this faculty
than the left.
From physiological point Of view memo.
nv is diminished by overlooking, by physical
exercise, and by education, in this sense,
that the illiterate have potentially more
memory than those who know how to read
and write We remember, moreover better
in the morning than in the evening, in the
summer than in the winter, and better in
warm than in cold climates.

A Maori Dance.

New Zealand Letter in Philadelphia Ledgerl
In the evening the natives treated us to
haka, or dance, in honor of the Governor. 1t
took place in the carved house l have already
spoken of, the weird, grotesque carvings of
which added to the strangeness of the scene.
There were about hundred dancers ranged
in five rows, the front one consisting of about
twenty young women, gorgeously apparalled
in tight-itting red and white calico bodces and
hamng-coored rugs, worn like kills. When
the Governor entered they greeted him with
the most awful noise, shouting, yelling,
laughing and in some diabolical way initial
ing the noise of the beating of tn.cans, the
barking of dogs and rapid hand-clapping. The
dance lasted about an hour. 1t was curious,
and as a novelty amusing but rather monOto-
nous. There was but little movement of their
feet, 1t consisted chiefly of swaying their
bodies and arms about, going down on their
knees, initiating rowing and gathering crops,
slapping their own legs and then their neigh
bors. The men then took the place of tho
women and went through very similar per-
formances. The whole dance was accompanied
by noise that would have put pandemonium
to shame. 1t sounded like mixture of beat
ing of trays, dogs fighting gigantic snoreing.

grinned and twisted about beyond what was
strictly correct; but they seemed to enjoy tho
really hard work of the dance most thorough

who stood in front Of the first row, exactly OPP
posite the Governor, and initiated playing tho
fiddle with his little thin arms. all the while
thrusting out his tongue rolling his eyes
nearly out of his head and making the most
fearful faces and contortions. A little girl who
tried to do the same had not nearly the same
real genius for making herself hideous and
grotesque. At last liberal supply Of beer
was promised them, the dance came to an end
and the Governor departed, amid an uprpar if
possible more awful than before.

a Rats Ride to Death.
[Letter to Inc Hartforl rImes.l

A keeu-eycd aud gray.beard rat in a Rock
vile, Conn, WOODEN mill had for long tmo
evaded every device to entrap him, but an ex-
pert took the case in hand and succeeded at
last in beguilng him into the trap. When the
spring announced that the old general was
caught the boys crowded around and peored
curiUusly in at the bright eyes aud nervous
movements of the old Iel ow who was "strcak-
ing it, inside. twas decided to put him IN The

mcnt to lot him go. The extractor" in q
wooden mill is II machine used to extract tho
moisture out of cloth, the process being Of
fected by putting the cloth into basket that
revOves swiftly inside a massive framework
of iron. So the trap was fixed into the basket
and the belt run on.
Round and heavily from side to side, but
gradually growing steader as the revolutions
became swirtcr. Steadily the speed went up;
one, two, three and four hundred times q min.
ute. The eye could just see n dark spot in tho
basket; then there was sudden jar and
cry was heard that the trap would fly out. on
a sudden impulse the belt was flung oil, the
brake put on and the machine stopped. Was

stroaking it foreand'alt the trap, his lively
eyes us bright AS ever. Once more he took his
place in the basket.
1t was to DO a ride to the death this time-a
fast train that would whirl him around sixty
seconds The "old general" seemed to have
an impression that affairs were nearing a
climax, for despairing squeal was heard as
the basket again started up. One minute, two
minutes three minutes, and the basket was
whirlng around fully seven hundred times to
the minute steady hun, instead of tho
surgings, indicated the high speed. Then tho
bolt was thrown of and the break applied.
When the machine stopped, the "old generaw
was no more; but his was a painless death,
without the agony and distress usually dealt
out to vermin. 1t must be "a novel sensation
