THE ENGLISH SYSTEM.
To Me EdhOr

In England, and | believe in all, or nearly
all, the countries Of Europe, the office hours
of a government employe is from 10 to 3.
Now is there any good grounds why our free
and enlightened government should expect so
much more from their employees than the gov
ernments of Europe. England, it is we'll
known, has the model civil service of the
world. JUSTITIA.

boy s rifle.
How our hearts beat for the few
moments that interviewed ! Another
gobble came from the stump,
Father was working his way
stealthily toward it in anticipation
of a prize, and Arthur lay as still as
death in the grass.
All at once we saw the sunlight
glance upon a mass OF long raven
hair that rose slowly above the
gnarled wood which had hidden it.
Father was within six rods of the
spot, 1t was a dreadful moment.
Our eyes turned to Arthur. The
grass in front of the slight knoll
where he lay was not high enough
to interfere with his aim as his elbow
rested on the ground. Wecould see
him drop bis young face against the
breech of his gun. The barrel gleaml
ed for single instant, puff of
smoke streamed from the muzzle,
and he leaped to his feet.
But there was still more sudden
leap from the old stump, for an
Indian with flying hair, and with
his rifle still clutched in his hand,
sprang up and fell dead against the
slope which had concealed him from
fathers view.
The reunion which followed when
we all ran into each others arms,
was joyful, yet thrilled with con-
sternation, will not dwell upon.
We found the dead enemy to be a
tall young warrior, hideously painted
and having in his belt hatchetand
a knife.
He had no doubt entered the gully
from the swamp. and seeing father
at a distance, had attempted to de-
coy him within a gun-shot by imi-
tating wild turkey
The occasion proved to be the only
one on which the Seminole war was
brought home to us, as the successes
of the United States troops afterward
kept the Indians at a distance from
our neighborhood. Harper's Young

avariciouS one. The American, as
rule, thinks Of the almighty dollar
in all Of his transactions, whether
in the pursuit Of wealth, health or
pleasure. The general tendency of
our race is toward excess, and this
should be carefully guarded against.
The love Of money is generally cred.
tied with being the root of all evil,
but all people seem to be after plenty

THE OLD WORLD NAVY.

When all vessels now on the stocks
are completed the English navy will have
SO first and second-class ships, with
armor averaging 10 inches in thickness.
and guns of the average weight OF 80
tons. France has the same number OF
ships. but the armor is l4a inches thick,
the gun average 40 tons, and half OF
them are breech.loading. We have no
such ships or guns, and possibly may
never have. And, all in all, we are Just
as we'll off without them. Without wal
vessels we may have some money in the
public treasury in the course OF 80 years.
An attempt by the Government to build
them would sink us in debt. At present,
should we get into war with any OF the
naval powers Of Europe, we would be ior
a time comparatively helpless. On the
other hand, should we prepare for such a
war, now that we are in peace, the re-
sources of the United States would be
exhausted by the expense of building the
formidable war vessels necessary. AT
least, precedent under the present politl'
cal regime warrants this sort Of hopeless
speculation.
