A MISTAKEN IDEA.

AS soon as boy leaves school and looks
about to see what he shall do next, heis isvery
likely to be told by some unwise person,
"The world owes you a living" This prob
ably strikes him as being a very wise re-
mark, and the boy says to himself, eff it be
true that the world owes me a living, then
Pm all right" He finds place and goes to
work manfully; but after a time he con-
clpdes that there is no fun init, and he stops
why should II trouble myself? Let the world
pay its debt to me-" Suddenly he loses his
place and has nothing to do. He is sur
prised and wonders why the world does
not give him his due. "a nice bed, warm
clothes, and regular dinners are good things,
and | ought to have them. The world owes
them to me, and if ! do not get them I've
been cheated out of my rights"
At one time this country was wilderness,
where no man could live, save by fighting
the wild beasts. Some one chasedaway the
bears and wolves, cut down forests, laid out
roads, built towns and dug canals. Some
body spent vast sums of money in construct
ing railroads, steam boats, docks, light
houses, schools, libraries, and all the fine
things you enjoy so freely. More than this,
somebody pays the policeman, the fireman,
the soldier, the sailor, the lighthouse keep
er and the school-master.
From the day you were born your father
and mother have fed, clothed and sheltered
you. 1t has cost you nothing. None Of
these great public works, roads, canals,
towns, navies and armies cost you anything.
How can you say that the world owes you a
ivingo Is it not you who are in debt?
What has boy done to deserve all this?
Not thing. 1t you who must pay-not
the world. nH
All! boys, he was a foolish creature who
first said, "The world owes me living"
He told very silly fable. The world owes
no man living till he has done some wor-
thy deed some good work to make the world
better and fairer place to live in: Those
old fellows who dug canals and laid out
towns, who built cities and invented all
these splendid things-these telegraphs,
these ships, these magnificent engines-had
the rightid They worked manfully, and
the world did at last owe them living, and
paid it many times over. If you mean to
get out of the great debt you owe to the
world, do something, go to work and show
you are a man. Then, when you have
shown the worldyou can work, it will glad
ly pay you a living, and the finer and more
noble your work the greater will be your
reWard.-T. Nicholas.

decorations, and they dip heavily into the
public eXchequer. In pay, pensions and
salaries they annually divide among them
selves, Gncluding the salaries of the bishop
e624, 1886 per annum. 1t may be an open
question whether the system of one or two
chambers is the more desirable. No sensi-
BILE person, however, can advocate a cham
Der, destined to act with controlling impair
tiality, composed of enormously wealthy
men, draining vast incomes from lands, alb
sorbing large amounts of public money in
pay and pensions, and perpetually intri-
guing to secure the triumph of the party to
which the great majority Of them perma-
nently belong. 1t is surprising that so as
founding legislative assemblyas the house
of lords can have existed so long in coun-
try inhabited by sane human beings, and
its existence in any country where the para,
mount assembly is elected by a numerical
majority would, of course, be out of the
OupStiOn.

suddenly face to face with Tom Phelan:
"Well, Fritz, what are you doing out
here?" he said, with smile that L was
ill-natured enough to set down in my mind
as a grin. He spoke as if he intended to
express surprise, but failed.
"DOing? Looking at the moon," l re-
piled, staring up as spoke in the summer
sky; o,o,

merry twinkle in his own.
"I say, old man, you have behaved capt.

"You have fallen; in love-don't deny
with the girl who will make you a happy

as he had often done when we were boys at
school. -;

fsWhat do YOU mean??" he asked, with
surprise shining in his good natured face.
"I have no desire to marry the woman

Miss Fay" p.
Tom burst out laughing, this time holding
his fat sides as if he feared he should eX-
plode.
"What is the matter?" asked when he
had almost done.
"You will be the death of me, Fritz, if
you go on making these little mistakes"

"You cunning dog? Why, you have
been flirting all the evening with Kitty
Berfort! l saw you both out there two
minutes ago; and you have fallen in love
with her like a sensible man, just as want
ed YOU to do"
"My dear fellow you said it was the boy's
godmother you had selected for me, and
that is Miss Fay"
''Miss Fay is one of them, Kitty Berfort
is the other" and to emphasize his words
Tom Phelan struck me on the shoulder with
a blow that made me stagger.
'sYou are BRICK" said to him, selzlng
his hand with enthusiasm.
Poor, good natured Tom Phelan His
eyes grew dim just for a second, as he re-
turned my friendly grasp.
"Tom,'' said, "God bless you, boy !"
spoke in such grave, impressive voice
that the father burst out laughing in my
face. This time I joined him heartily:

ONLY A LITTLE WHILE LONGER.

ONLY A LITTLE WHILE LONGER.
Only little while longer,
For life is but short at the best;
Only little while longer,
And then for sweet, calm rest;
When over our low, narrow dwelling
The hurrying tempest may sweep,
We shall need not the thunder's loud swelling,
So solemn and peaceful our sleep.
Only little while longer,
And the end of the web shall be spun;
Only little while longer,
And the weaver's full work Will be done;
Forlife is a web, and still weaving
Goes man, ever treading the loom,
At which he works on, scarce believing
That the end of the thread is the tomb.
Only a little while longer,
And the busiest brain shall repose;
Only alittle while longer,
And the weariest eyelids shall close
On the discord and endless contrlvlng,
To make hard for each other the ROAD
Along which we go jostling and STRIVING,
Though it leads to common abode.
Only little while longer,
And the fleetest feet shall be still;
Onlya little while longer, .'1~
And We'll come to the foot OF the NIL.
Then let us not war on each other,
Nor remember the wrongs OF to-day,
But hold out our hands to brother,
Should he stumble and fall on the way.

SAD ENDING OF PROMISING LIFE
Ten wears ago Seleucus Garfield left Con-
gresS and became professional gambler;
last night he died in a little room over cl-
gar shop in Washington. The story of Gar
fields life is that Of q man who surrendered
absolutely to the temptations Of Washing
ton. He was born sixty-one years ago in
Vermont, went to Kentucky when he wasa
boy, was graduated from Augusta College IN
that State, and began his active life as a
lawyer. When he was thirty years old he
was a member of the Kentucky Legislature,
and a year later he was commissioned to
codify the laws of the State. In 1860 he was
receiver of public moneys of Washington
Territory, and in 1866, after serving three
years as Surveyor-General, he came to Con-
gress as Delegate. He was here four years,
and when his Congressional career was over
he was moral wreck. He had lost his am
bition, and was as dissOlute gambler as
lived in the District of Columbia. Cards
had come to be the passion of his life.
1t is said that he left Kentucky and wan
dered off into Washington Territory, be-
cause he saw his doom if he remained
among the genial poker players of his
adopted State. He fought against what he
feared would become his ruling passion,
even to the extent of giving up what prom
1Sed to be an exceptionally DTlSIlG lutuIe,
but his surroundings in Washington finally
overcame him completely. His fellow Con-
gressmen ruined him, and he lived for the
rest of his days on the vices of public men.
No life in Washington was lower than his.
The men and women who were his cOmpan-
ions were of the very lowest stratum. For
years the man who had once promised to be
one of the cleverest public men of Kentucky
had not a single intimate associate who did
not belong to the dangerous element of So
ciety. He was always, however, a leader
among the people with whom he lived.
Garfield died alone, except that the wo-
man whom he married year and a half ago
stayed with him till the end. He had no
friends, and he left behind him only the re-
cord of man whom vice had dragged from
a good public position down to be gambler
and an outlaw Washington Paper.

How THE HUMAN ORGANISM PROTECTS
ITsELF-The organism of the human body
is self regulating apparatus. Every inter-
ruption of its normal functions eXcites
reaction against the disturbing cause. If

Of the palate, the salivary glands try to re-
move it by an increased secretion. The eye
would wash it off by an increased flow of
tears. A larger quantity of the same sub

protest of the fauces, and the digestive Or
gans would soon find means to eject it.
The bronchial tubes promptly react against
the Obtrusion Of foreign substances. The
sting of an insect causes an involuntary
tWitching of the epidermis. If thorn or
splinter fastens itself under the skin, sup
puration prepares the way for its removal.
If the stomach be overloaded with food, 1T

These automatic agencies the organism
generally suffice to cOunteract the disturb

stitute merely a plea of non interference.

outward, and resent only pressure in the
opposite direction. The eye volunteers to

of the outrage be not aggravated by its repi-
tition. But if that protest remains unheed-
ed, it finally takes the form of the emphatic
protest we call disease. For even in it's
urgent manifestations, the reaction against
a violation of Natures health laws is cry
for peace, rather than petition for active
assistance in the form of medication. "Ac-
custom Yourself i'm all YOUR little pains and
aches," says DIR. Jennings, "and also in
your grave and more distressing affections,

existence you were before unaware, and
which, if suffered to remain and accumu-
late, might prove the destruction OF the
house you live inland that, instead of its
needing to be "cured," is itself curative
operation; and that what should be called
disease lies back of the symptoms which, in
fact, are made for the express purpose OF
