AStPacf Po ftica

President Arthur's devotion to the
party IN general, and Don Cameron in
particular, is thus aptly put in scriptural
Phrazeology by the Chicago Times:
Senator Cameron went in and
danced before President Arthur, and
pleased him and them that sat with him +;
and the President said unto Cameron.
ask Of me Whatsoever thou wilt and l
will give it thee. And, having retired
and consulted with his henchmen, he
came in straightway with haste
unto the President and asked, saying,
/ will that thou give me- by and by in n
charger the official heads of two col
lsctors OF internal revenue. And tn.
President was exceedingly sorry, for the
collectors were honest and efficient in
their trust and good Republicans; yet,
for his oath sake and for the sakes of
those who sat with him he would not
reject the Boss Senator from Pennsyl-
Nania. And Immediately the Prsside mt
sent an eIScutioner and commanded the
official heads Of the collectors OF internal
revenue to be brought, and he went and
beheaded them in their Offices, aud
brought their official heads In a charger
and gave them to the Boss Senator.
And Senator Mitchell went in to the
President aud besought him to restore
the official heals Of the decnpitated
Collectors. But the President frowned
and regarded him coldly, aud said, Il
know nothing Of absiraet poliiics.'n :

Americas DI.ss.ts.s.

In America. II anywhere in tho world,
it would seem thar contsntment ought
to prevail. It is the land Of political
and religious liberty. Of unparalleled
resources, Of infinite variety Of climate.
soil aud scenery, and where the great
majority OF the people live better and
enjoy more Of the comforts and Iuxur-
les Of life than than do the people Of
any other country. Yet Americans, as
rule. arc neither contsnted nor happy.
They arc noted for their disposition to
drudge and toll. They have few holi-
days, and these are. generally. poorly
spent. The average citizen does not
care for them. He gets so used 10 his
working harness that he feels awkward
without 1t. With the aid Of news
paper. perhaps, he manages to worry
through Sunday; is glad that it il gone,
and rcjolces that it comes but once q
week. As a nation. Americans would
hardly be selected AS type of content
ment. Even those possessed OF vast
wealth have no time to enjoy it. It
might be justly said Of US. that, as q
people, we have more than any other
and enjoy it less.
The paradox is not hard to explain.
o-r taste for the beautiful is never satis-
fed. The more we get the moro We
want. No matter what our position in
the social scale may be. there arc always
people above us, whose superior condi-
ton aud surroundings inspire within
US feeling Of jealousy. Many lm.s
in the course Of n lifetime We reach n
point where We Imagine We would be
satisfied, only to find this will-o'-the.
wisp OF eontentment dancing iu the dis
tance. This restless dissatisfied spirit
Is most miserable possession. IL
Poisons the very springs Of life, prevents
the enjoyment Of tho things We have,
converts the treasure unpossessed into
a bauble when gained, and murds rs the
sweet and simple pleasures OF life az
certainly as did the dagger of Macbeth
murder sleep.
Happily, there are antidotes for this
wretched disease. Good literature in
one; fine music is another; and there Is
no better remedy for this disease than
association with little children whose
minds are not soiled by the sordid cares
Of life. Remembering the shortnsss of
life. the foolishness OF spending it in
fretting and repining is obvious. sys-
tematio cultivation Of q disposition of
repose will do much to exercise the
demon Of unrest. II is worth while.

At or near New Braintree, VT, years
ago, lived Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Smith.
Now Mrs. Smith was q constant borrow
er, especially Of tea, which she always
returned "short' measure. Mrs. Brown
never borrowed, it being against her
rule. Herpatience atlast being exhaust
ed, she set trap for neighbor Smith.
She bought a canister, and put therein a
pound of tea. Next day comes Mrs.
Smith. She wants drawing or two OF
tea. Out comes that canister, and Mrs.
Smith departs with the tea. In time the
tea was returned, as usual little short.
The tea was put in the canister and set
aside. By-and-by Mrs. Smith comes
again for some tea. The canister is
brought out, and Mrs. Smith goes home
happy. So the borrowing and repaying
went on till the canister was empty,
save the last repayment. On the next
application for tea Mrs. Brown calmly
presents the canister, to Mrs. Smith,
telling her il was all that was left of the
pound of tea. Mrs. Smith was cured Of
the bad habit of borrowing.
