Seeing Common Things Commonly.

One Of the good and characteristic siyns
OF the times, is the increasing eagerness
with which people Of all classes seek after
common things, in common way. 1t
Seems to be sort of fulhllment of the
prophecy of Mrs. Artemus Ward. who
said; "Arte, the time will come, when we
shall all have little common sense"
The stomach is mother Of MANY in
ventions, the philosopher for instance.
We See a brood Of chickens sedulousIv
scratching the surface of barnyard, and
We at once reflect that these fowls are un-
consciously preparing themselves for our
uses, by turning worm into chicken, and
one day, will turn chicken into philoso-
pher.
Common things were sufficiently plenty
III the Past, but those pre-eminently fit
ted for discovering them, were on moral
or intellectual stilts, and saw only tran
scendent things. Now, real genuine
toper-a man continually filed to the
neck with a mixture of gin and philoso-
ply, was common enough object in days
gone by, but it has remained for the phil
;-nthropist Of these modern days, to find
out that the topper has an important com
merclal value. Men who have gone reg
ula:ly into the business Of philanthropy
upon the basis of the drunkard, realize
very handsome profit out of the old,
wreck OF humanity rocking idly among
the weeds along the shore Of eternity.
Sometimes 1t appears that there is lack
of the reciprocal relations of trade be-
tween the two; for the phiianthropist has
monopoly Of the financial part Of the
copartnership. True, the topper has some
distinction and some fun. He Is allowed
to mount the platform and make a dress
parade Of his wickedness, and is permit
ted an unusual latitude for the play of
his Imagination. It's a distinction for
him: and We all know that the love Of
distinction Is one OF the strongest and
most clamorous elements within us. Per
haps there is nothing from which man
will shrink with more INFINITE dread, than
the thought of having his name sponged
off the tablet Of memory the living hang
in their hearts. Between drinks
the drunkard Is Just like the rest Of Us
OF course, all these philanthroPists
have a special aptitude for this work.
They dedicate all their powers to the
cause in which the topper is engaged. They
tell us, they have left the elegant idleness
of home, the home of their boyhood, with
its creeping vines and clustering associa-
tions, and sustained alone by the noble
feeling of philanthropy, plunged heroic
ally into the great work, associated with
the drunkard, even became ecclesiastical
drunkards themselves and apparently
wholly unmindful that they could not
hope to make more than five or sIx hun
dred dollars per week at 1t.
