THE GOOD OF JULES FAvRE.

And what shall | say of the eloquent,
the fiery, the impassioned Jules Favre,
one of the greatest orators, of his time.
and noticeable figure in the history Of
his country in the disastrous years but
recently past? Jules Favre's life, since
the war, has been anything but Happy
one. Illness, certain coldness on the
part of the public. and bitterness on ac-
count of the gross manner in which his
private life had been assailed, rendered
him sad and cynical. He died in YER
sailles- strange to say-in that YER
sailles where he came 10 years ago to
meet the naughty Bismarck and to plead
with him to spare the self-love of the
conquered nation. Poor Favre his cup
was full Of bitterness in those terrible
days of the bombardment, when his at
titude was one of supplication; when
he, the imperious tribune, whose voice
| had made thousands tremble, condescend-
ed to tears in presence of the enemy
when his friends and his foes alike caviled
at his desperate efforts in behalf of his
country which he loved devotedly. He
has left on record, in his volumes which
recite the history Of the negotiations un-
dertaken by the government of national
defense, the anguish and the humiliation
which he, in common with so many 9th.

after which, to the last moment of his
life, he never heard the least allusion

the room, with great appearance of
distress. Then if you said, The baker

was indirectly the cause of the war with
Prussia, because his constant attacks on
the empire in the corps legislatif irritat-
ed Napoleon III so much that he was
anxious to show his independence of the
opposition by plunging into exterior po-
litical adventures. The reactionists to-
day endeavor to render Favre RESPONSE
BILE for the final delivery of France into
the hands of the Prussians. But it is
doubtful if any one could have done
better, in that time of horror and de-
spair, when mems minds were wild with
thousand suspicious and presages of
coming evil.
Favre was a master of the French
language. AS an orator he had no SUI
perior in this country. AS a lawyer he
was considered great, but he frequently
lost important cases. Nothing could ex-
ceed the beauty and majesty of his Ian
guage, the calmness and simplicity of
his attitude. when he was in the tribune,
and when his heart was enlisted in favor
of some great enterprise. His was a
noble figure, too, on the 4th Of Septem-
ber, when the republic was proclaimed
in Paris. His calm. melancholic face,
set in its frame of iron-gray hair and
beard, resembled that of some prophet
of doom. He grew old with terrible
rapidity during the war. The misfor-
tune of his country weighed upon his
own head with terrible effect He was
scarcely recognizable as his old self at

GOOD ADVICE FOR EVERYBODY


l. Never under any circumstances. as
sumo responsibility that you can avoid
consistently with your duty to yourself
and others.
2. Base all your actions on a principle
of right; preserve your integrity of cha
racter, and in doing this never reckon on
the cost
8. Remember that self-interest is much
more likely to warp your judgment than
all other circumstances combined there
fore look we'll to your duty when your in
terest is concerned.
4. Never make money at the expense
of your reputation.
5. Be neither lavish nor niggardly
Of the two avoid the latter. A mean
man is universally despised. but public
favor is stepping stone to preferment !;
therefore generous feelings should be eul-
tivated.
6. Say but little; think much and do
more.
Z. Let your expenses be such as to
leave balance in your pocket. Ready
money is friend in need.
s. Avoid borrowing and lending
8. Wine drinking and cigar smoking
are bad habits; they impair the health
and pocket, and lead to waste of time.
10. Never relate your misfortunes,
and never grieve over what you cannot
prevent.
IL. Cultivate promptness in deciding
upon matters that come before you ;
there are few objects more disagreeable
than an undecided. vacillating man.
Consider thoughtfully, but decide
promptly.
II. Never break business engage
ment of any kind, if it be possible to
meet it. Let nothing cause you to be-
come careless of business etiquette, In
tegrity and promptitude.
Is. Let truth and an unwavering
faith in God underlie all your motives
and actions. 7f

THE BUILDERS.
BY LoNGFELLow.

All are architects of Fate
Working in these halls Of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great.
Some with ornaments of rhyme.
Nothing useless is, or low;
Each thing in its place is best;
And what seems but idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest.
For the structure that we raise.
Time is with material filed;
Our to-days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build.
Truly shape and fashion these;
Leave no yawning gaps between;
Think not, because no man sees,
Such things will remain unseen.
In the elder days of Art,
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part;
For the gods are everywhere.
Let US do our work as well,
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house, where gods may dwell,
Beautiful, entire, and clean.
Else our lives are incomplete,
Standing in these walls of time
Broken stairways, where the feet
Stumble as they seem to climb,
Build to-day, then, strong and sure,
With firm and ample base;
And ascending and secure
Shall tomorrow find its place.
Thus alone can we attain
To those turrets, where the eye
seese the world as one vast plain,
And one boundless reach of sky.

We tossed about the flowers
And wreathed the blushing hours
Into posy green and sweet.

And never was at rest
Till had laid them at thy fairy feet.
But the days Of childhood they fleet,
And the blooming sweet-briar breathed weather,
When we were boy and girl together.
Then we were lad and lass together,
And sought the kiss of night
Before we felt aright
Sitting and singing soft and sweet.
The dearest thought of heart
With thee twas joy to part,
And the greater half was thine, as meet
Still my eyeld's dewy, my veins they beat
At the starry summer-evening weather,
When we were lad and lass together.
And we man and wife together,
Although thy breast once bold
With song, be closed and cold
Beneath flowers roots. and birds light feet.
Yet sit by thy tomb,
And dsspate the gloom
With songs of loving faith and sorrow sweet.
And fate and darkling grave kind dreams do cheat
That. while fair life, young hope, despair and dealt
are,
We're boy and girl, and lass and lad, and man ant

TAKING THINGS FOR GRANTED.

Half the failures in life result from the
habit SO many people have of taking
things for granted. The business man
assumes that his credits are good, or he
takes it for granted that his wife knows
what style of living his income will war
rant, until the logic of addition, subtrac-
tion and multiplication proves too much
for him, and down comes his business in
ruins. The young professional man takes
it for granted thar veneering instead of
solid requirements will enable him to sue
ceed, because there are so many notorious
examples of men's rising and maintaining
themselves in public life through pure
audacity, native wit, and an utter lack
of conscience. He will find too late that
it won't do to plan and risk career by
the exception rather than the rule. The
farmer keeps no accounts {; crops his farm
according to the season. or last years
markets,or his neighbor's success; takes
Esfor granted that the laws of nature and
of trade will accommodate themselves to
his necessities; links deeper into debt,
and wonders why farming doesn't pay.
And so on to the end men everywhere
want success without paying its price in
thorough preparation, honest hard work,
intelligent calculation and foresight, pa
tieut attention to details. They take for
granted things which it is their business
to know, and trust that to fortune which
common sense and experience should
teach them is controlled by law Gold
en- Rule.

VALUES ARE INCREASING. Every
relic of the long continued depression
the seven lean years-now happily gone
by, is passing away. Prices are advanc-
ing. and every purchased thing costs
considerably more than a year ago. The
farmer who values his land and stock
may justly put up the figures from 25
to so per cent. His income must be
made to increase in proportion. and this
must be done to a great extent by in
creasing in every possible way the pro-
ductive value of his property. -

was serious manliness now in place Of
the old boyish expression. He was fol-
lowed by fair-haired, rosy-faced young
creature, whom with proud air, he in
troduced as his wife.

many people in my changeful. rowing
