It's the way you tell one hat from ano-
ther, SO you'll know which is becoming.
And we learn all about ascidians, too.
They are the divinest things! I'm alb
solutely enraptured with ascidians. IF
| only had an ascidian of my own |
wouldn't ask anything else in the world. "
"What else do you like, dear? Did
you ever see one ?" asked the Brooklyn
girl, deeply interested.
"Oh ! no; nobody ever saw one ex-
cept Mr.. Cook and Mr.. Emerson, but
they are something like an oyster with
a reticule hung on its belt. think
they are just heavenly"
"Do you learn anything else besides %
"Oh /! yes. We learn about common
philosophy and logic, and those common
things like metaphysics, but the girls
don't care anything about those. We
are just in ecstasies over differentiations
and molecules, and Mr.. Cook and pro-
toplasms, and ascidians and Mr.. Emer-
son, and | really don't see why they put
in those vulgar branches. If anybody
beside Mr.. Cook and Mr.. Emerson had
done it. we should have told him to his
face that he was too terribly mean. "
And the Brooklyn girl went to bed that
night in the dumps, because fortune had
not vouchsafed her the advantages en-
joyed by her friend.-Brooklyn Eagle.

USE OF WORDS.

This world is great schoolhouse, in
which through life we all teach and we
all learn. Here we must study to find
out what is good. and what is bad, and
what is true, and what is false, and thus
get ready to act in some other sphere.
What we are at the end of this life we
shall be when the next begins. We
must spare no pains, then, when we
teach others or ourselves. We teach
ourselves by what we hear and read
and think, others by our words. We
must take care that we think and speak
in a way so clear that we do not cheat
ourselves. or mislead others by vain or
misty ideas. We must put our thoughts
into words, aud we must get in way
of using these in thought with the same
care we use when we speak or write to
others. Words give body or form to
our ideas, without which they are apt
to be so foggy that we do not see where
they are weak or false. When we put
them into body of words we will, as a
rule, learn how much of truth there is
in them, for in that form we can turn
them over p our minds.
We must not only think in words
but we must also try to use the best
words, and those which in speech will
put what is in our minds into the mind:
of others This is the great art which
those must gain who wish to teach il
the school, the church, at the bar, o.
through the press. To do this in th'
right way they should use the shor
words which we learn in early life, ant
which have the same sense to all CLASSES
of men. They are best for the teacher
the orator and the poet.-Robert Collyer

Probably the worst telegraphic blunder
on record was one that occurred recently
in telegram received by st. Louis mer-
chant while in New York A dispatch
came informing him of the illness of his
wife in st. Louis. He sent a message to
his family doctor, asking the nature of
the sickness and if there was any danger,
and received promptly the answer: ''No
danger. Your wife has had child II
we can keep her from having another to-
night she will do well'' The mystifica-
tion Of the agitated husband was not re-
moved until second inquiry revealed the
fact that the indisposed lady had had q

THE OBLIGATIONS OF
WEALTH,

1t is not true that rich men who have
come into possession of immense ''for-
tunes," own that wealth in any such
absolute way as makes 1t improper for
society to keep sharp eye on the uses
to which they put it. 1t is the richest
man who is the greatest debtor. What
he has acquired is the measure of what
he owes. The laws may not be able to
enforce this kind of debt; but the law
of an enlightened public sentiment has
right to require it, and should do So.
More and more, especially in England
and America, are men of wealth begin
ming to recognize the obligations of
wealth. The men and the women who
do accept these obligations to society
inseparable from the large trusts COM
mitted to them, should be held in honor
and affectionate esteem. But. on the
other hand, those who having great
riches cling to them for purposes of mere
self-aggrandizement or to consume them
upon their lusts,' and set at naught
the infinite urgency of the wants of the
world,-these men, whatever the fawn-
ing batteries of Others do in fact forfeit
the worlds respect. When man whose
wealth is estimated at about ten million
dollars, dying. bequeaths say twenty
thousand dollars to be distributed among
few of the benevolent societies of the
time. the pittiance. cantrasted with the
enormous sum of what he owned, Of
what too. in truth, he owed, can only
be set down as indicating an uncultiva.
sense of the responsibilities and the
privileges incident to great wealth.

FALLEN FLOWERS.

One ofthe workers Of the world
Living toiled and toiing died;
But others worked and the work went on,
And was not changed when he was gone.
strong arm stricken, wide sail furled;
And.only few men sighed.
One Of the heroes Of the world
Fought to conquer, then fought to fail,
And fell down slain in his blood-staned mail,
And over his form they slept;
His cause was lost and his banner furled;
And only woman wept.
One Of the singers among mankind
Sang healing songs from an O'erwrought heart
But ere men listened the grass and wind
Were wasting the rest unsung like wave;
And now of his fame that will ne'er depart
He has never heard in his grave.
One Of the women who only love
Loved ard grieved and faded away;
All me are these gone to the God above,
What more of each can l say?
They are human flowers that flower and fall.
This is the song and the end of them all.

MR.. FIFIELD'S BILL.

MIR. Fiield of Montpelier and Mr..

bursements in criminal cases before

CHILDHOOD. d.

Out Of my window look,
And the boys go troopng bv;
Voices as noisy as sugar is sweet
Hands that are mischievous, hopes that are feet,
And know when the slivers glide into their feet,
By the sudden and clamorous cry,
gaze at the pattering feet;
Red like the cinnamon bear
And know, that onward the summer rolls
Stone bruises will cluster upon their soles,
And bee stings, In angry and roseate knols
win ornately geam. here and there.
look on the restless hands,
That gesture amid their din;
And know they will reach through the orchard fence
And spite of the measures to warn them thence
The big cross dog with the jaws immense,
They will gather the apples in.
look on the sturdy backs
Ribbed like the sides of a ship;
And know that oft in their flying tracks,
The farmer will follow with wrathful whacks
And the boys will taste with their writhing backs,
Less apples than buggy whip.
