Could Not Run Steadily.

sometimes think that any man who
is growing old, and to whom it has been
appointed in this life to earn his own
bread, ought to be thankful to find him
self in any settled and fairly creditable
vocation. 1t tends to make one SO to
look around upon those who started
along with us, and to remark here and
there the clever fellow who would not
settle to steady work, who would not
get into one of the recognized grooves
of human affairs. Such clever fellows
tend to be unsteady in another sense
than lack of fixity OF elm, and here
doubtless is a main cause of their fail
ure. But even where this is not SO you
know the sorrowful upshot of not stick
ing to the track, not choosing line and
holding to it, The income is precari-
Gus; all incomes are precarious that are
made up of scraps. Give us steady
wages, whether little or great. You
have known brilliant man with a hun
dred times the brains of some wealthy
mortal who wants to get into Parliament
with the single purpose of serving his
country thankful to earn few pounds
by doing election jobs, writing squibs,
and canvassing, and meekly bearing to
be sworn at by the wealthy mortal in
the hour of defeat. 1t is very sad to
find a man of true ability and eloquence,
and content to work very hard, waiting,
like a cab on the stand, for some one
to hire his brains for some one to get
him to write on some subject In which
he feels no interest, or to puff some
doing which he sees to be contemplate.
And such a man, living from hand to
mouth, even if he has no one but him
self to support, must many times look
forward to the future with fear, thinking
of the days when the poor, wearied brain
and hand will not be able to work any
more, and when there will no longer be
the nerve to push himself forward amid
younger and fresher competitors. Surely,
thus meditating, and beholding how
solid mortals who never had half his
ability, and who never worked half SO
hard, but who got into one of the main
grooves and kept to it, have distanced
him in life-are judges, bishops, or at
the least are thriving business men and
rosy country parsons, filling recognized
positions, and not without the conf
dence thence arising-the brilliant Bo-
hemian that never would run steadily in
harness must feel that he has made
mistake in his choice of life.-Frdzer's

A Washington letter says: cat a
recent reception my attention was called
to an ornament unique in the way of
oddities and worn by lady, the wife of
a naval officer. 1t was a long brooch or
lace pin consisting of the rattles and
button of an unusually large snake, set
In knife edge setting Of polished gold.
There was a lovely face above it, and
the grisly jewel caught together the
edges of an exquisite lace scarf, but the
rattlesnake trophy was rather disconcert-
ing to come delicate ladies who withdrew
from the wearer with fanciful shivers.
when they saw what the thing really was.
In explanation OF such a strange orna-
ment, it is said that while standing with
her husband at some station ON the
Florida coast, the lady's only child.
little daughter, was saved from the
deadly snake when all coiled and ready
to spring upon her. The man who killed
the snake and saved the girls life was
handsomely rewarded, and the mother
having obtained the rattles sent them on
to Tiffany for mounting. This pin is
always worn by her in grateful remem-
brance of the event, and at the largest
balls, the great receptions, and the swell
germans, the rattlesnake trophy appears,
resting its gray and ugly joints against
the fair, white skin of the lady's throat,
and clasping the folds OF her finest laces.
There is an Indinn belief that if set of
rattles are worn on the head blindness
will always be prevented, and there is a
trapper's lSelief that the dust from a
snakes rattles will cause blindness and
terrible ills, and much other rattlesnake
lore that is called up by the well-versed
whenever this famous breastpin puts in
an appearance. 1t is noticeable then
that the young ladies who wear the most
life-like and expensive of the enameled
nake-bracelets coiled around their
wrists, or gold adders, with diamond
eyes, around their threats, are the very
ones to shrug their shoulders and call it
"queer for any one to wear q part of
q genuine snake as an ornament.

An Awful OmsH in Rome.

Tacitus records thgat Just prior I'd the
breaking out of the insurrection of the
Icenl, headed Wy their heroic Queen
Boadicea, thef Roman subjugators of
Britain very alarmed by unequivocal
of an approaching storm.
AT Canalodunum the statue of Nero
fell tosthe ground and turned its back
why're the face had been, as if it fled be-
fq$fe the enemy. Women were seen as
if mad, singing wild songs, in which
they foretold the destruction of the
colony. Strange noises were heard in
the House of Assembly, and loud howl
ings In the Theater. In the estuary of
the Thames there was an appearance
like that of sunken town. The sea
assumed the color of blood, and human
forms appeared to be left on the shore
by the ebbing tide" These terrible por-
tents were remembered by the Romans
long after the rout of the Iceni and
the death of their warrior Queen some
where between the sites of Coldbath-
fields Prison and the terminus of the
Great Northern Railway. That the ex-
listing age, however, obstinately refuses,
as rule, to attach any belief to portents,
ravens, be they never so hoarse, from
battlements, the hooting of owls, and
other premonition from the brute crea-
ton, Italian patriotism might be slightly
alarmed by an occurrence which has
taken place at Rome. On the occasion
when the anniversary of King Victor
Emmanuel's death WIS commemorated,
and as the lengthy procession was
streaming down the Capitoline Hill on
its way to the Pantheon, there was heard,
high above the clangor of the brass
bands, a strange and dismal bowling.
Whence came this lugubrious ululation?
Was it the voice Of the Cam@an Sibyl,
lowering in mid air, invisible to the
multitude, but making audible her never
ending moan over the conhagration OF
the Capitol in which the books that she
sold to Tarquin were destroyed? After a
while the source of the bowling was
traced. For a very long time fierce
controversy has ragged among antiqnar-
les as to whether the celebrated bronze
figure of a wolf, called by Byron "the
thunderstricken nurse of Rome, in the
Museum of the Capitol, is the wolf men,
toned by Dionysius and Livy, or the
animal whose effigy is cited by Cicero.
Apparently with view to bringing these
polemics to a close, the Municipality of
Rome have III recent years caused to be
excavated, in the rocky side of the
Clpitoline, a den in which accommoda-
tion has been provided for twolive wolves.
They are obviously, could they become
articulate, entitled to dub themselves
respectively the Ciceronian and the
Dionysian wolves; but, as matter of
fact, the unfortunate beasts, pent mp in
cheerless captivity, are not unaccustomed
to relieve their exacerbated feelings by
shrieks and yells, which probably cul-
minated in ear-splittng howls under the
intolerable provocation of patriotic
hymns from an indenfiite number of brass
bands, playing, as Italian brass bands
usually do, villainously out of tune.

Ye Olden Time.

The old, legitimate, delightful idea of
an inn is becoming obsolete ; the rapid
ity with which distance is consumed OBJ
viates the needs that so long existed of
by-way retreats and hating places. The
modern habit of travel has infinitely
lessened the romantic probabilities of a
Journey the rural ale-house and pictur-
esque hostel now exist chiefly in the do
main of memory crowds, haste and
ostentation triumph over privacy and
rational enjoyment. Old Walton would
discover now but few of the secluded
inns that refreshed him on his piscato-
rial excursions; the ancient ballads on
the wall have given place to French pa
per; the scent of lavender no longer
makes the linen fragrant; instead of the
crackle of the open wood fire we have
the dipgy coal smoke, and blinds usurp
the place of snowy curtains.
Few hosts can find time to gossip the
excitement of n stage coach arrival is no
more, and poet might travel n thous-
and leagues without meeting a romantic
"maid of the inn" such as Southey has
immortalized. Jollity, freedom and COM
fort are no longer inevitably associated
with the name the world has become q
vast procession that scorns to linger on
its route. Thanks, however, to the con-
sentative spell of literature, we can yet
appreciate, in imagination, at least, the
good, old English inn. Indeed. it is
quite impossible to imagine what British
authors would have done without the
solace and inspiration of the inn. Addi-

The Office Should Seek the Man.

Nothing is more natural, nothing more
admirable, than the aspiration of good
and capable men to lead men and to
govern great States. But honorable OBJ
jects must be honorably sought. A man
with true political ambition, with the
instinct of leadership, advocates wise
measures, and. by the power which be-
longs to the instinct, impresses his views
upon the minds of others. He leads by
natural ascendency, and they naturally
and gladly follow. So Washington led
So Jay was a leader But the modern
system of "still hunt" of private,
illicit influence upon those whose votes
elect to high place, of housing intrigue,
or bargain and barter and corruption. is
not only dishonorable, but it is destruct-
i've Of the essential principle of the gov
eminent. The majority must rule. But
only al honest majority can rule justly.
To open headquarters at capital in
order to procure votes, not by personal
preference founded upon knowledge of
character and of career, but by private
solicitation and representation and trade,
and 80 to secure a majority, is to cheat
the people and to caricature the popular
principle. majority 80 obtained is not

What was good enough for Jay and
Washington ought to be good enough
for US. If they disdained to propose
themselves as the choice of the people,
we may safely disdain it. The current
question now is, WHO is an appli-
cant ?" Who wants it ?" And the fit,
test man is passed by because he has not
asked for it. Washington and Jay did
not ask. But when the people selected
them the people found officers quite as
honorable and efficient as those who do
ask. The man whose self-respect for

WOODEN bowls, and other ware of this
sort, as well rs all cross-sections from
tree trunks, and short logs, cut for
various purposes, are very apt to crack
and split while seasoning. To prevent
this completely, the pores of the wood
should be well filled with linseed, or some
other vegetable oxidizing oil, while it is
yet green, and before it begins to show
any signs of cracking or checking.
This will completely obviate this incon-
venience.

The following is recommended as
cement for stoves and steam apparatus:
Two parts of ordinary wel-dried DOW
dered loan and one part of borax are
kneaded with the requisite quantity of
water to a smooth dough, which must be
at once applied to the joints. After ex-
posure to heat this cement adheres even
to smooth surfaces so firmly that it can
only be removed with chisel. Another
cement for steam pipes is prepared, by
mixing 430 parts in weight of white lead,
$40 of powdered slate, five of chopped
hemp and forty-five of linseed OIL The
two powders of the hemp cut into
lengths of one-fourth to five-sixteenths
of an inch are mixed, and the linseed oil
gradually added, and the mass kneaded
till it has assumed uniform consistency.
This cement is said to keep better than
ordinary red lead cement.
