Put Life Into Your Work.

A young mans interest and duty both
di ;tate that he should make himself in
dispensable to his employers. He should
be so industrious, prompt and careful that
the accident of his temporary absence
should be noticed by his being missed.
A young man should make his employer
his friend, by doing faithfully and mi.
nutely all that Is entrusted to him. It is
great mistake to be over nice and fas-
tidious about work. Pitch in readily
and your willingness will be appreciated,
while the ''hgh-toned" young man who
quibbles about what it is and what it is
not his place to do, will get the cold
shoulder. There is story that George
Washington once helped to roll
log that one of cerporals
would not handle, and the great
est emperor of Russia worked as ship
wright in England, to learn the business.
That's just what you want to do. Be en-
ergetic. look and act with alacrity, take
an interest in your employers success,
work as though the business was your
own, and let your employer know that
he may place absolute reliance on your
word and on your act. Be mindful; have
your mind on your business, because it is
that which is going to help you, not
those outside attractions which some OF
the "boys" are thinking about. Take
pleasure in work; do not go about in q
listless, formal manner, but with alacrity
and cheerfulness, and remember that
while working thus for others you are
laying the foundation of your own sue
cess in life.

Preferring Suicide to Marriage

Colonel Forney's Progress tells of
widow in China who committed suicide
rather than marriage, and IN this public
manner paid the last debt of nature:
"People in China are not only allowed
to commit suicide, but they advertise
their determination beforehand, stating
when and where they intend to effect
their purposes. At least, the Foochow
Herald tell, of young widow who had
promised to hang herself on a certain
spot on the 18th of last month, rather
than yield to the wishes of her inhuman
parents and marry again. The sacrifice
was actually consumated in broad day
light. The girl hanged herself in the
presence of an assembled crowd of friends
and admirers. The tragic ceremony was
preceded by reception of visitors on
the platform erected for the occasion, af-
ter which the poor young creature mount
ed the chair, placed the rope around her
slim neck, and bidding final adieu to
this unsympathetic world, launched her.
self into eternity" The reason assigned
for the suicide does not seem adequate
for the sacrifice, and the Chinese journal
may initiate some of its American CON
Itemporaries and indulge IN the sensation
al.-Modern Ar0O.

The Jugglery of Justice.

On Dltter cold night, about two years
ago, poor homeless and fI1erdless Irish
man, stranger in Boston, opened win
dow of an unocupied house on the Rac k
Bay, crawled in and slept on the floor.
In the morning he crawled out again and
was nabbed by policeman. He was ar
raigaed, held and indicted upon the seri-
GUS charge Of ''breaking and entering IN
the night time" On arraignment day
he stood up without counsel, and frankly
told the court that he had mo place to
sleep, and crept into the house to avoid
exposure.
Although the arresting officer said that
he did not question the statement of the
prisoner, and added that If he had been
so disposed, there was nothing that could
be stolen in the house, as even the lead
pipe had been removed, the poor man
was sentenced to the House of Correction
for two years and six months.
In December last, Victor L. Blehdon,
law student, an Alsatian of pleasing
address and unusual intelligence, attempt
ed to swindle various Boston business
firms, by forged orders. He succeeded
in getting goods upon some of these Or
ders, but not upon al, owing to the vigl-
lance of the police inspectors who arrest
ed him ON the 9th of January, before his
scheme was carried out. Blehdon was also
held and indicted. On Monday he plead.
ed guilty IN the same court and before
the same judge. On account of his in
telligence and his plausible statement, to
the effect that he desired to lead an hon
est life, ne was permitted to go on pro-
Datlon. Blehdon was leauer In the
French Commune, and was subsequently
pardoned. He then came TO America
and was employed in various menlal ca
pacities in Chicago, Philadelphia, Palti-
more and New York. In October last,
he entered the Boston Law School, and
it was while he was there that he deliber-
ately planned one Of the boldest SWIM.
dies ever attempted in this city. His dis.
charge on probation was something OF q
surprise, as it well might be. A poor
ignorant Irishman is sentenced for two
years and half for merely sleeping over
night in an unoccupied house. while q
young man of unusual intelligence, high
social standing and more than ordinary
ability, VITO attempts an outrageous
swindle upon the community, is allowed
to go scot free. The reader can Judge
which of these men is the more danger.
