Living to Purpose.
npr !

Everybody ough; to have an honorable ambition and supreme desire 10 be and do something in life. l, is better to aspire and idi thar ,o have no aspirations q, all. There are far fewer who. having laudable ambition. .aI. ,o make their mark than oi those who drlf, ;hroug. existence aim lessly, with no definite purpose Tn view There are persons who devote half iheir lives trying 10 solve the problem nf their existence and the other half m longing for some friendly hand or propitious GIT cumstance 10 give them a shove in the right direction. Much has been said and written of wasted lives and opportunities and yet the subject IS by no means threadbare. It Is one of the accommo- dating matters tha, will admit of line upon line ard precept upon precept. '" To live to purpose-high and noble pur- pose-is an ambition worthy of all men, and women, too. How to work out des- tiny so that il may inure 10 our own and the well being of others is one of the most profitable themes of contemplate :. Men. like the stars, move In differen, spheres and orbits, and to keep d place IS highly important. Fidelity 10 duty and station will enable any individual 10 become honored and useful. Should one of the small and comparatively lnsigniti- cant heavenly bodies attempt to usurp the place of one of the brillian, planets. it would doubtless suffer for its pains and become the ridicule of i,s associate ,winklers.
 50 with individuals. They often miss the accomplishment of any grand aim because of a failure ,o apprehend the plane on which they arc bet ntted to move and shine. IL IS not necessary 10 an honored and useful life tha, one should be president, or senator. or minister plen- ipotentiay. A man might be either ot i these and yet possess no extraordinary intellectual or moral weight. Yet fl he adorns the place by eminent fitness for i' he will certainly command the respec; oi his fellows and make the bes, of his op- poruni,ies. A constable might be bet ter and more useful man than king, so we see iha, place and power are no, al- ways attended by the characteristics and principles which entitle humanity 10 love and respect Ts make the best of the position in which one is placed, whether that position be high or low, is the secre, of wise living. A clown and preacher may be the very anupodes of character and calling, and yet man may be hon. ored and useful in either. The palpzb!e fault with most of us is that we fail ,o make the best of our opportunities and aspire 10 conditions for which we are no, htted- An important thing to be remem. bered is that character is everything, and that without the foundation of a good character to build upon, all efforts to in. spire the confidence of others in our cap. acity for honorable distinction will be. come painfully abortive.

The Railroads.

Superintendent Stevenson, of the Conson- dated road, has issued a circular to train hands announcing that arrangements have been made for a course of five medical lec- lures, giving practical instructions what to do in cases of emergency and how to handle and care for injured persons. These lectures will be given at the reading room Of the Grand Central depot, from 1 to p. m, for five successive Thursdays. The first was given last week. Among the matters treated are the proper application of bandages and tourniquets, first aid in cases of fracture, or collapse from injury. of persons stunned' cases of apoplexy, epilepsy, fainting, burns, drowning, scalds, poison, frozen limbs and sunstrokes also the improvising of stretch CTS for sick or injured persons.
 The New York Tribune says the claims made by Boston parties in reference to the new New York and Boston Inland are char
 acterized bv railroad men as ''arrant non-
 sense.n One prominent railroad man estl-
 mated the cost at from $100, 900, 900 to
 5000. 900, GOO. The officials of the New York,
 New Haven and Hartford road showed no
 sions of trepidation. Vice President Clarke said with a laugh that he didn't think the new road would be built this year and talked lightly of the new enterprise. An othcer o1 the New York Central said he considered the scheme to be ''humbug." The Hartford Coura7at says it is big thing on paper, ana pokes fun at it, and concludes its comments as follows: s'One bona fide parallel road profect having been started this year, all the old proiects of the past have suddenly sprung | into activity in most entertaining ana sng gestive way"

 Dear Sir-My conviction is that our con verts from among children are among the very best we have. I should judge them to have been more numerously genuine than any other class; more constant and, in the long run, more solid. speak of those who are tried and kept under the wing of the church. May you prosper evermore.
 Yours truly, 0. Fl. STURGEON.

Yesterday morning he wrote note to his mother, and comparison with the anony- nous communication received by Cnlet Marsh shortly after the murder, stating that McGuirk was the guilty man, shows it to be in the same handwriting without doubt; It has been suspected for some tune Snat M McGnirk himself was the author of the epistle, and he did it to obtain notoriety, and now it has been proven that such is the fact: Investigation has revealed that about all oi the story which he related after his arrest lf false. and it now appears as if he had nc connection whatever with any part of the affair
