want to go before you get on :he
train. ''e 1t'stfea
III. When you purchase your ticket
you will have to pay for II; no use to
tell the ticket agent to ''charge 1t and
send the bill to your husband" And
II he says the price OF the ticket Is
$2,96, don't tell him you can get one
Just like 1t ofthe conductor at the
other store for $3.50; he won't be-
lieve you, and he may laugh at you.
Iii. Never travel without money.
II requires broad views, liberal edu-
cation, keen discernment and pro-
found Judgement to travel without
money. No owe can do that success
fully but tramps and editors.
Nv. Beware Of the commercial
traveller.
v. Don't give stranger your
ticket and ask him to get out and
check your trunk. He will usually
be only too glad to do 1t. Aud what
is more, he will do II, and your trunk
will be 80 cffectuaiiy checked that It
will never catch up with you again.
And then when the conductor asks for
your ,icket and you relate to him the
pleasing l!tlle allegory about the
stranger and your baggage, he will
look incredulous and smile down
upon you from half closed eyes, and
say that 1t Is q beautiful romance, but
he has heard it before. And then
you will put up your jewelry or dis
embark at the next station.
vi. II you are going three hundred
miles, don't try to get OF the train cv-
cry fifteen minutes under the impress
sion that you arc there. II you get
there In twelve hours you will be
doing excellently.

HEROIsM OF LIGHT-HOUsE kYFPFRs..

HERoIsM OF LIGHTHOUSE kKEPERs.-
Ii was a grand and heroic conception to
build lighthouse on the Eddystone. but
what shall be said of the men who first of
all tried the experiment of dwelling in the
horrible isolation Of that storm beaten edi-
fee, cut off from the rest of the world, un-
certain whether the building would stand
the test OF the storm, deafened by the roar
of the waters which sometimes would shoot
right over the lantern, or dash headlong
against the lighthouse with fearful violence,
causing every part TO vIbrate as though the
whole fabric were instantaneously going to
pieces? 1t is recorded that only two men
attended the lighthouse built BY Rudyard,
and that one of them was seized with sud
den illness and died. 1t was in the rough
est time of year, and although the survivor
hoisted a signal Of distress, no boat could
reach the rock. What to do with the dead
body he did not know. At first he thought
he would throw it into the sea, but he was
hindered By the fear lest the friends of the
deceased might charge him with the crime
Of murder. For whole month the wealth
er continued boisterous, and for that whole
month the solitary survivor kept the light
all night now that his comrade could no
longer share the duty, watch by watch, with
him, and for that whole month he kept the
body of the dead man, although it had fallen
into horrible corruption. Can any more ter
rible strait he conceived than that in which
the brave fellow was placed' Yet we do
not even know his name. All we know is
that in almost every great work Of public
utility involving hazardous labor, if one or
two men have come to the front and left
their names for the admiration Of posterity,
there have always been hundred obscure
heroes who have lived and died and left no
sign, but without whose strong nerves and
great hearts those works would never have
been accomplished.

The Oneida 90 ommunity.

The Oneida Community is doomed. Il
contained within itself the elements of its
own destruction. 1t had some good feat
ures and some bad ones. The good ones
we're temperance, industry, financial recti-
tude and the personal cleanliness which led
TO good health. The principal bad feature
the Infamous relation between the sexes,
which set at defiance the laws Of decent SO.
ciety in regard TO matrimony. These peo-
pie held that the literal kingdom Of heaven
had been ushered in and that there ought to
be no marrying or giving in marriage. They
regarded as the consummatlon of all selfish
ness for one man TO be married to one wo-
man. So they married all the men in their
Community in a lump to all the women
therein and arranged hv lots or otherwise
who should temporarily be companions for
each other. This seems a revolving way to
live, but these people somehow or other got
used TO ii. Each man loved all the women
equally, and each woman equally loved all
the men. Outsiders supposed there would
be individual athnities and preferences, but
the community people denied that such
the case. The place where they live is a
beautifully situated property about four
miles from Oneida, New York. 1t is laid
out in magnificent style and is adorned with
ample buildings for dwellings and for the
various branches Of industry which are car
ried on.
The people of Oneida have made little
or no complaints abou, them, for they cir
culated good deal of money in the town
and employ many people as factory hands.
But the clergy of that section of the State
have for some time been most vigorously
stirring them up. The pressure exerted on
them from outside was so great that few
months ago they agreed to give up their
system Of what they call complex marriage"
and enter on state of simple mstrimony,
like decent people. This destroyed the
great speciality of their life. Some of these
men and women found their aifinities and
committed matrimony. Some are old and
ugly, and nobody knows what they did or
how they got along. But this giving in
marriage crippled the Community to such
an extent as to break up its original charac-
ter. The concern is now to be made into
joint stock company. Heretofore all the
property has been held by four trustees for
the benefit of all the members in common.
Now the strongest and smartest will take
the lead and the weak and inferior will
bring up the rear. The latter will gradually
drop out and few of the leaders will COB
bic the whole organization. As the social
features of the Community are somewhat
worse than those Of the Mormons, nobody
need regret the change which is now taking
place Philadelphia Times.
