Editor Anthony of Leavenworth, Kansas, seems to be a marked man. A few years since, if we are not mistaken, he was nearly killed; and yet, only a week ago, he was again under fire. He had handled somebody's rep- utation rather. roughly while the man was on trial on criminal charge. The fellow was acquitted, fired at Anthony, but hit the lawyer who had cleared him. Editor Antho- ny is almost as as fortunate in the unskillful- ness of his enemies as the Czar.

THE SAME OLD SToRY.-An Oxford
undergraduate was showing his sister
over his rooms in college, when some
one knocked at the door. Surprising
that it was one of his friends and not
wishing to be ehaffed, he hid her be-
hind the curtains and admitted an ell
derby gentlemen, who apologized pro-
fusely, saying that it was many years
since he had been at Oxford, and could
not leave without paying visit to the
dear old college and the old looms he
had occupied as student.
"Ah ~ cried the old gentleman, look
ing around, ''the same old sofa yes.

Then, walking in the bedroom, he
remarked, eyes and the same old bed !

Presently he stepped toward the cur

Looking around he beheld the young
lady, and, turning round, said: "Ah,

Rules for Living.

am no doctor, quack or pilI-vender,
yet L have had pretty good, long life
and happy one. May not, therefore,
just give my simple rules for health, in
hopes some poor traveller on the up OF
down hill of life may look at them and
perhaps be benftted by them. have
practiced them for many years and they
have done me good; perhaps they may
do good to others. They are inexpen-
sive and may be easily abandoned if
they cause any harm.
l. Keep in the sunlight just as much
as possible. A plant will not thrive
without the sunbeam; much less a
man.
2. Breathe as much fresh air as your
business will permit. This makes fresh
blood; but it is never found within the
four walls of your building. Beneath
the open sky, just there, and there only
it comes to you.
3. Be strictly temperate. You cannot
break organic law, or any other law,
with impunity.
4. Keep the feet always warm and
the head cool. Disease and death begin
at the feet more commonly than we
think.
5. Eat white bread when you cannot
get brown bread.
6. If out of order, see which of the
above rules you have not observed.
then rub yourself all over with a towel
saturated with salt water, and well
dried. and begin upon the rules again.
z. Look ever on the bright, which is
the heaven side, of life. This is far
better than medicine.
These seven simple rules, good for
the valid or invalid, if rightly observ-
ed, would save, apprehend, deal of
pain, prolong your life, and so far as
health goes, make it worth the having.
Will you, then, practice them 7-W.

A year ago there was quiet funeral
in Detroit, and when it was over an old
man called "Uncle William" was left
without home or friends, and no means
to help himself. Strangers said he
would have to go to the poor house,
but when the trembling and half blind
old man wiped tears from his eyes, a
neighbOr said: 81 will take him into
my home and care for him for mont b
anyhow" "And then / will take him"
added another. "And then my root
shall shelter him." said third. So the
old man found friends. One took him
and then another, and he was well used
They were far from being rich. Their
tables were lean and their beds cold,
and sometimes the little that Uncle
William ate was missed by the hungry
children, but no one ever spoke un-
kindly to him nor limited that he was a
burden. One night last week, after the
old man had sought his bed and the
children were asleep, a husband and
wife sat down to say to each other that
work was scarce, the rent behind, the
fuel nearly gone, and. Here they
looked at each other in shy way, as if
of their thoughts. The cold
wind whistled around the cottage us if
to nip little toes, and the
wife shiveredS and said, ''He is SO old
and feeble-let us wait few DAYS
longer" 81 haven't a dollar left"
unused the man, as he glanced at the
cupboard. "But he eats only very
little" protested the wife. They looked
at eace other long time without speak
ing. A vision of poor old man bat
Ting with the fierce winter gale came
to either and stood between them with
hands crossed in supplication. "He
shall stay" they whispered together,
as they rose up and made ready for the
night, and the gale banged at the doors
as if cheated Of its prey. Morning came
with its meagre breakfast. There was
not enough for four, but it must do for
seven, and the father forced a smile to
his face as he opened the old mans
door and called, "Come, Uncle Will
liam p There was no response, and
when they bent over the old man they
found that no man would ever again
find him a burden. "See," said the
wife, che may have heard our whis-
pers, for there is tear on his cheek. p
But he knew the resolve of our hearts,
for he died with a smile on his face, -
added the husband.
