A PLEA FOR THE OLD MEN THAT
SMOKE.
BIT JOHN H. YATES.

There, daughter, stop scolding Don't worry and
fret,
And work yourself into such ire
Just about all the comfort your father can get
Is q smoke by the warm kitchen fire;
Let him smoke in the corner in peace, if he can,
Though the clouds of tobacco may choke;
There is no one can tell, but lonely old man,
How much comfort there is in q smoke.
II.
Like free bird that iyeth from limb unto limb,
Your rountine of joys you go through;
And some of them look just as foolish to him
As smoking looks foolish to you;
We're none of us perfect-all this you believe
Our lives should with charity shine,
I like the golden threads that the weavers weave
In andTout of the dark design.
III.
Should you live to be old-though you may never
smoke
Yet I'll wager penny or two,
You will have strong habit to tease other folk
Bad as this that is worrying you;
Let him smoke in the corner in peace, if he can,
Though the clouds of tobacco may choke;
There is no one can tell, but lonely old man,
How much comfort there is in a smoke.
".
Do smoke No, not l Nor will advise
Any youth the bad habit to get
But whom one is old, and can't stop if he tries,
Is it wisdom to worry and fret?
Let him smoke in the corner in peace if he can,
Though the clouds of tobacco may choke;
There is no one can tell but lonely old man,
How much comfort there is in a smoke.
V.
Not long will tobacco smoke daily annoy,
Soon the pipe on the mantel will lay,
And father will rest, where the shall destroy
The tenantless body of clay.
Let him smoke in the corner in peace, if he can,
Soon he'll fall before Deaths sturdy stroke,
Then you'll miss the clay pipe and the feeble old
man,
And wish you'd put up with the smoke.
-Rochester Express.

LIFE A DISAPPOINTMENT.


Life is disappointment to SO many
chiefly because when starting in it they
over-estimated their own strength and
underrated that of their competitions
Self-suf6ciency and ignorance are the
pioneers of defeated expectations. The
looker-on is not disappointed; it is the
actor who is. Overweening self-conf-
dence refuses to see difficulties, and
thus the preparation which might over
come them is neglected. The defeat is
crushing because it is deemed impossi-
BILE. Presumption and arrogance have
burned the bridges and left no oppor-
tunity.to gather the shattered forces by
retreat. Although science and philoso-
ply will greatly assist toward averting
many of the consequences of error and
mistake, yet there is no infallible rule
for one to follow, which guides one al
ways safely and pleasantly. Each gen.
Grafton must learn for itself. There is
a point where teaching ends and ex-
perience begins. 1t is this which has
set bounds to human knowledge. No
man can take up the work of another
and pursue it with the same efficiency
and success. The father cannot give or
bequeath the child his matured expert
ence as he can his property. Men may
vaunt themselves as they will, but there
is limit to their power; and that limit
seems in some cases to have been reach
ed in one man. Shakespeare and Bacon
had no successors. No man has been
able to take up their work where they
left it. So far as mems efforts are con-
cerned, their works seem to be COM
pleted. No man has yet appeared who
can equal what they have done, much
less improve upon it. As far as we
know, they reached the limit of mans
power in the direction in which they
taught. The child must mistake the
road just as the parent mistook it, and
learn which is the right road often only
when too old and weary to. walk in it.
And is it not we'll that it is so? The
wisdom of age and the form of youth
cannot be joined in beauty. Could the
young know their true strength and fore
see the difficulties they have to encoun-
ter, they would not fail by the way, but
would faint in the beginning. Favora-
bic circumstances bear men on to for
tune to a greater extent than the sue
cessful are willing to admit. But, hap
PLY, wealth is far from being the mea-
sure Of success; indeed, true success
is developed character, high and no
bic manhood, that ministers to the great
heart of humanity. There are thous-
ands of poor, retiring men and women
who have done more for the comfort of
their fellows than any proud and arro-
CANT millionaire.-PhrenOlag1caI /Oar-

ADVICE FOR GIRLS.-Some good ad-
vice to girls is going the rounds of the
New England papers, the point of it all
being that an unmarried woman cannot
be too particular in the selection OF her
masculine acquaintances, and that lite
partnership should not be entered into
without at least as much caution as men
display in making business combinations
for limited periods. No man selects his
business partner from among men who
drink much liquor or have other bad
habits. As for mere manners and the
ability to make ones self agreeable, they
have not of themselves influence enough
among men.to secure dollars worth
of credit or to justify any one in be-
lieving their possesSor on oath. A girl
who is not old enough or shrewd
enough to have learned what are
the standards by which men are
tested would be far surer of happy life
if she were to let her parents select
husband in the prosiest manner possible
than if she were to make her own Selec-
ton in the manner peculiar to girls. ln
spite of liberal divorce laws life partner
ships are hard to getout of even when
they are dissolved by law the principal
sufferer gets, besides her liberty, little
but unpleasant recollections and more
unpleasant notoriety.-Nev York
