as the fruit ripens, that the weight is too

midrib OF the leaf, and we find that
they continue still further. connecting with
the clrcuatOry system of the stem, which in

The Successful Man.

The man who succeeds is the popu-
lar mantle person who has hosts of
acquaintance. and who does not hesi-
tate to ask a favor. any more klan he
does to do one. He cultivates his ac-
quaintances and blossoms out before
each one. He is always glad to See
them, and always has smile and a
pleasant word. Beyond a certain point
he is intimate with none. knowing that
a man with strong friendships is sure to
have some decided enemies, and an en-
nifty often is most inconvenient. The
popular man knows all the prominent
members of the club; but he never neg
lects those who fill the ranks of medi-
ocrity. He is especially thoughtful of
his elders. Everything that comes to
his mill is grist.
There is nothing hypocritical in all
this. The popular man is what he seems
to be. He wishes well to every one,
himself included, and he would do no
one an ill-turn. He wishes no one to
do him harm. His desire is to make
things pleasant to others that others
may make things pleasant unto him.
He does not neglect the harder work of
lht. IL HS Is III u pIOlcSSiOIls uc eCOulcS
diligently for some hours each day,
when there is no opportunity to culti-
vatc the social part of his nature, or to
render his relations with others more
friendly. II he is in trade, he does not
neglect to learn his business thoroughly
from the bottom up. What he does he
does well, no matter how small it is.
Such man is sure to command sue
cess. He is thorough and can be de-
pended upon in purely business rela-
tons, and in his social life he charms
and attracts his acquaintances, so that
every one wants to help him. If he is
. young lawyer, the elderly men, to
whom he is always deferential in man
ner. think of him first when little le-
gal business comes in their way that
will pay him well but is too small for
them. He gets the job. If he is
young broker. spectators remember
that he is a good fellow, and knowing
that he is honest and capable, give him
their commission, even in preference,
perhaps, to more repellant acquaint-
ance who is more conveniently at hand.
If social gathering is lacking in one
member, he is always thought of as tho
one to fill the vacant place. Women
smile OH him, and his chances of mar
rying well arc tenfold better, even if he
is poor. than a more sedate and quiet
man of possibly much greater force of
character. The Hour.

Humorous Papers Stabbed,

An eastern journal of literary aim Ia
ments the sad fact that so many humor-
Gus papers are springing up all over the
country, and that SO many of the daily
papers surrender so much Of their yalu-
able space to the frothy nonsense of
American whim. The blighting satire
was written after the editor had made
repeated efforts to be humorous. Fail
ing--the inevitable fate of all premedit-
ated humor--he suddenly discovers that
humorous papers cannot live, and that
their editors must sooner or later be
aroused to sense of the sandy founda-
ton on which they stand. The editor
OF the eastern paper of literary aim is by
no means a pioneer in warning Ameri-
can people against journalistic lightness.
He is a member of the disappointed
class, probably. and by drawing atten-
ton to the weakness of other journals at
tempts TO show the strength Of his own.
The humorous press may not have Q
mission. The people may be thankful
that it has not. The sensational paper,
filled with murder and scandal, escapes
the censure of the reforming editor. -
The political liar and literary thief have
missions and are not criticized by him.
The numerous paper, refined and really
elevating in tone, makes him howl. He
cannot see the use of its existence, but
he forgets that millions of people enjoy
what he regards as the foamiest of non
sense. He will write column article
on some exploded theory of reform and
imagine that his suggestions are accept
ed by the masses and treasured up by
the sages. His egotism will not allow
him to see his own lack of originality.
The humorous papers of America are
more effective in matters of reform than
their great daily contemporaries. The
great daily is a politician, and directs
its power against the evils of the oppo-
site party. The generosity of acknowl-
edgment is unknown. 1t covers up
fraud in its own ranks and seeks to un-
cover it in the ranks of the opposing
faction. The humorous paper ridicules
the foibles of society. 1t exercises an
influence on the minister aud the Judge.
Among its lightly written lines there are
serious truths, impartially spoken. 1t
advocates the political claims of no
rascal
The humorous paper of America may
not be permanent institution. A few
thousand years may lay it low; and when
its grave is dug, when the political editor
and the literary critic come and look at
its remains, they will no doubt weep over
its untimely death.
Roll on, politics, art and science-roll
until your wheels stop against the ever
lasting limit of all further progression.
roll on, AS you travel you will see hu-
NOR, in light gambol keeping up with
you.
Rush forward thought, education and
weakness of the tiesh-push forward,
and when you attain the great height,
to look from whose summit makes you
dizzy and want to go home. look to your
right and there you will find humor,
clothed in airy costume. nimbly flirting
with the goddess of eternal mirth.
