The great difference among men,
of all callings, is energy of character
or the want of it. Given the same
amount of learning and integrity, and
the same opportunities. and energy
will make one man a conquerer. The
want of it will see the other a failure.
Dead-beats are all men without force.
They had as good a chance as any
of their companions. Others went
aheal and carried off the prizes,
while they were lying by the way-slde
disputed and despondent. 1t takes
nerve, vim, perseverance, patient
continuance In we'll doing, to win q
great prize. And the young mar
who goes into a profession without
this pluck and force will not earn salt
to his porridge. He will drag along
through life with the help of friends,
getting some credit with them fol
being a well-meaning man, in delicate
health and unlucky. The real trouble
is he lacks energy. All the learning
in the world will not qualify a mar
for usefulness. 1t requires push,
stamina, vigor, courage, resolution

LIME KILN PHILOSOPHY.

"Doan' be too good, said the old
man, as he crossed his hands under his
coat-tails. 81 advise you to be good.
but not goody-good. When man reach
es sartin line of goodness he will have
de respect an esteem of all who meet
him; orfuns will bless him an widders
will pray for him. When he crosses
ober dat line he will pray for de poo
wild one hand an lend money at fifteen
per cent. wild de oder. He will shed
tears for his naybur's woes. but leave
six inches of snow on his sidewalk fur
de public to wade frew. His chin will
quiver when he speaks of de poo bea-
then in Africa, but his own boys will
play base ball in de alley on Sunday
He will weep ober de need of more orfun
asylums, but he won't put down a shil-
lin in money. He will talk charity by
de hour, and charge boy fifty cents for
breakin' two-shillin' pane of glass. I
doan' want muffin to do wild too good
man. When | know man to be wicked
| know how to take him. When [ know
him to be a goody-good man my only
safety am to let him alone. When you
meet man who am distressed ober de
gineral wickedness of de world, doan you
lend him any money widout good secur-
ity. When you meet man who says
'ah' an 'um,' an rubs his hands togeth-
er an rolls up his eyes. doan' challenge
him to trade horses. Find me man
who weeps bekase the werld hain't bet
ter, an will show you man who
makes his own home unhappy. 1t am
de belief of man who has put in sixty
two years of his life on dis plannet dat
it am wuss to be good dan it am to be
wicked. De law will soon get hold of
de too wicked, but de too good can't be
cotched. My sort of good mau am one
who respects de church but am not card
away wild it, who will give dollars to
his poor nayburs but not cent to de
heather, who neber sees de need of re-
fom widout refomin' his own habits to
begin wild, who borrows money in bus
iness way an lends money on de same
plan, who speaks we'll of religion. but
hates de hypocrits. Gin me man who
pays his debts. speaks de truf in his
dealins, lets whisky alone, uses his fam
lily right an takes de side of de old an
poo and de young an weak in de battle
of life, an | doan' keer what his relig
ious faith am, or whether he has any at
all. He's de man to tie to, and if he
doan' reach heaben, all odder sorts o

VIOLIN MAKING.

Violin making in its perfection is one
of the most difficult of callings. 1t is
apparently nothing more than the ad-
justment of certain bits of wood, which
are planed. filled, saw-cut, scratched,
sand-papered, carved, pegged, glued and
vanished ; but to give it the soul requires
the highest capabilities of human intelli-
gence. Hands must work in material
which, though easier to cut than metal,
cannot be kept up to the same degree of
precision. Fingers must be subservient
to brain. For guide you must have
the fine appreciation of tone quality. If
with mechanical dexterity you possess
the necessary fneness of ear, your wood
en- case will give you the sound of a
Guarnerius, Steiner, or an Amiti. The
trick of it all is so subtle that he who
makes good violin is no longer a SER
vile imitator. A commonplace instrument
may be quite within the scope of good
pattern-maker, but really fine instru-
ment, such as great soloist will accept,
one perfect throughout the whole regis
ter, one that responds to the least touch
of the finger, that makes pure and un-
alloyed sound, with the tone quality,
whether you just touch it or rasp it with
your bow-well that is nothing less than
a chef d. oevure. Why. there are only
four people in the world to-day who can
turn you out such an instrument.-B.

DAMASCUS.

The head of Syria is Damascus, accord
ing to Isaiah; and the head is the beauty.
ornament and adornment of the body, as
the capital is to the column. In rare
care of its darling the desert girdles
it around. As further guard to it. ma
ture has surrounded it with hills. With
in their circuit our sand-blinded eyes
gloat on broad bands and belts of verdure.
Three circles, therefore, enclose it as a
casket-desert, hills and woods. The
trees that thus surround Damascus for
miles in breadth show every shade of
green-the bronze of the walnut, the
duskiness of the cypress. the lightness of
the poplar. the gray of the mountain ash,
and the blue tint of the pomegranite
In the inner centre the sun shines On
what, in its whiteness, seems to be city
of silver, set in circles of emeralds, en-
livened by the sounds of rushing waters
and bubbling fountains that are every
where to be seen and heard, and in their
cooling influence pleasantly felt. Such
is Damascus seen from the hill-sides-
Eastern and dreamy-the very spirit of
all that is poetical.
1t is the pet child of the desert. Da-
mascus is its true, Legitimate child, its
one fair daughter 1t has drained its bo-
som to furnish the Abana and Pharpar
that flow to nourish Damascus. 1t has
gathered within it all the life and ver-
dure it could yield, every green thing
that could grow upon its surface, and
given them all to beautify it, with the
prodigality of loving mother lavishing
everything, life included, upon her one
pet child.
This dainty daughter of the desert
sits queen-like in her unclouded atmos-
phere, working her gold and silvered
silks and her valued cloths for the
worlds admiration. Fitting work for
the fairest of cities Of others the
world can get its plowshares but
Damascus disdains for such use to make
its peerless steel. The working dress
of the work-a-day world can be had
where it may, but its bridal silks, inter-
woven with golden threads, its boudoir
furnishings, and its holiday attire. are
found at their best here. The embrol-
dered narghilies are here; and here is
the golden tobacco, and the scented
cigarettes made of it, for fair Eastern
lips. Here also is the perfume Of all
perfumes, the altar of Damascus roses
the preparation of all which. and the
like, are the fitting work that this fair
city finds, or selects for itself, from all
the labors of the world.-Ktngston's S

THE OLD STONE MILL,

look through the mist of the gathered years,
To the mill which my childhood knew,
In the whir of whose ceaseless hum and roar
My youth into manhood grew;
The caves are rotten and fallen down,
And the moss grows over the door,
And its merry song has been slenced long,
For the grist thatll come no more.
'Tis many years since last saw
The great black wheel 90 round,
And its dripping floats slow rise and fall,
With their sweet and splashing pound,
But the stream to-day, still runs away,
But it brings no good nor i'll,
For its tide may ebb. and its tide may flow,
1t matters not much to the mill.
Twas there 1 wrought in honest toll
Above the bubbling water;
Twas there strove with faltering heart
And won the mller's daughter
To-day we laid her beside the mill,
'Tis where she wished to be;
And the years may come, and the years may go,
But she'll come no more to me.
The mill and are wrecks of time,
Fast tottering to decay;
Its gray old stones are green with mold,
And am bent and gray,
We've served the world for many wears,
How well it knoweth best;
And soon the mill'll be taken down,
And be laid to rest.
II. ". Fuller, in Albaay Journal

While agreeing with all that Gov
ernor Burnett says of the evil of wealth
too rapidly acquired, or too great in
amount, we also believe that one of the
best services rich man can render his
country is to bring up children wise and
good enough to use leisure in their
country's service, and then bestow leis-
ure upon them.
We need Independent, honest, capable
men in Congress, in city government, in
authorship. in science, IN art. and in
philanthrophy.

GIVING AND LIVING.

Forever the sun is pouring its gold
On hundred worlds that beg and borrow;
His warmth he squanders on SUBMITS cold,
His wealth on the homes of want and sorrow,
To withhold his largess of precious light
Is to bury himself in eternal night
To give
Is to live.
The flower shines not for itself at ALL
Its joy is the joy it freely diffuses,
OF beauty and balm it is prodigal
And it lives in the light it freely loses
No choice for the rose but glory or doom,
To exhale or smother. to wither or bloom
To deny
Is to die.
The seas lend silvery rays to the land,
The land its sapphire streams to the ocean;
The heart sends blood to the brain at command,
The brain to the heart its lightning motion;
And over and over We yield our breath,
Till the mirror is dry and images death.
To live
Is to give.
He is dead whose hand is not open wide
To help the need of human brother;
He doubles the length of his lifelong ride
Who gives his fortunate place to another;
And thousand million lives are his
Who carries the world in his sympathies.
To deny
Is to die.
