Thoughtful. Notes.

Work and experience form the
only wings upon which even genius
can rise.
A man of great deal of char.
acter cannot hide It. He will be.
tray it even when he sneezes.
The success of the greater part of
things depends upon knowing how
long it takes to succeed.
There are great many duties
that cannot wait. Unless they are
done the moment they present
themselves, it is not worth while to
do them at all.
Virtue consists IN making desire
subordinate to duty, passion to
principle. The pillars of character
are moderation, temperance, chas-
tity, simplicity, self control; it's
method.is self denial.
Censure and criticism never hurt
anybody. If false, they cannot harm
you, unless you are wanting in
character; and, if true, they show a
man his weak points and forewarn
him against failure and trouble.
The truly virtuous do not easily
credit evil that is told them of their
neighbors; for if others may do
amiss, then may these also speak
amiss; man is frail and proven to
evil, and therefore may soon fail in
words.

Ella Wheeler's Marriage.

Milwaukee, May 8: The marri-
age of Miss Ella Wheeler, Wiscon-
sims favorite poetess, this week,
was one of the most complete and
most genuine social surprises ever
known in this city. Mr.. Robert NJ.
Wilcox, the bridegroom, is a veal
thy young manufacturer of Cincin-
natl. He has prepared magnifi-
cent home for his bride at Meriden,
and summer home on the seacoast,
and will fit up "winter quarters" in
New York City. Their acquaint-
ance and courtship have had all the
essential favor of romance. Mr..
Wilcox happened to be in this city
on the occasion of the last soldiers
reunion here, few years ago. He
had read Miss Wheeler's poems and
had conceived a great desire to meet
her. The poetess was one of the
chief figures Of interest at the great
reception given to the veterans at
the exposition building. Mr.. Will
cox sa" her, and. though not intro
duced, he fell in love at once. Re-
turning to his home he wrote her a
letter. 1t was manly epistle, and
won her favorable attention at once.
They corresponded for nearly year
before they met. Their meeting
confirmed the impression and opin-
ion that each had formed of the
other, and speedy engagement fol-
lowed. During the last two years
Mr.. Wilcox has made occasional
visits to Mrs. Wheeler in her west
ern home, but only a few of her
most intimate friends knew Of the
relations existing between them,
and the wedding was, therefore, a
great surprise. Mrs. Wheeler's
early days were spent in obscurity
and want, and only unremitting
labor and great perseverance,
backed by genius, has enabled her
to make her way as she has. Her
great army of admirers in this city
and state are rejoiced to know that
the future is full of promise of
prosperity and happiness for her.

A Father. Tells his Daughter
how to Treat her Mother.

A father talking to his careless
daughter, said: 1 want to speak to
you of your mother. 1t may be
that you have noticed q careworn
look upon her face lately. Ofcourse,
it was not brought there by any acts
of yours, still it is your duty to
chase it away. I want you to get
up in the morning and get break
fast; and when your mother comes
and begins to express surprise, &c
right up to her and kiss her on the
mouth. You can't imagine how ii
will brighten her dear face. BE.
sides you owe her a kiss or two.
Away back, when you were a little
girl, she kissed you. when no one
else was tempted by your fever.
tainted breath and swollen face.
You were not as attractive then
as you are now. And through those
years of childish sunshine and
shadows she was always ready to
cure by the magic of mothers
kiss, the little dirty, chubby hands
whenever they were injured in
those first skirmishes with the
rough world. And then the mid
night kiss with which she routed so
many bad dreams as she leaned over
your restless pillow, have all been
on interest these long, long years.
Of course, she is not so pretty and
kissable as you are; but if you had
done your share of work during the
last ten years the contrast would
not be 80 marked. Her face has
more wrinkles than yours, far more
and yet if you were sick that face
would appear more beautiful than
an angels as it hovers over you
watching every opportunity to min
lister to your comfort, and every one
of those wrinkles would seem to be
bright ringlets of sunshine chasing
each other over the dear face. She
will leave you one of these days.
These burdens, if not lifted from her
shoulders, will break her down.
Those rough, hard hands that have
done so many necessary things for
you, will be crossed upon her lifeless
breast. Those neglected lips, that
gave you your first baby kiss, will
be forever closed, and those sad,
tired eyes will have opened in !eter.

your mother; but it will be too

Girls I'm Business.

We commend to all girls who
wish or expect to engage in any
self supporting occupation, especi-
ally where they may come into COM
petition with men, the following ex-
tract from Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
article, entitled, "Supporting Her
SELF" in the May st. Licholas:
"But, girls, if you don't mean to
make thorough business of the oc-
cupation you have chosen, never,
never, NEVER begin to be occupied
at all. Half-fnished work will do
for amateurs; it will never answer
for professionals. The bracket you
are sewing for New Years present
can hang a little crooked on its
screws, and you will be forgiven
for the loves sake found therein
by the dear heart to which you offer
it; but the trinket carved for sale
in the Sorrento rooms must be cut
as true as a rose leaf. You can be
a little shaky as to your German de-
clensions in the Schiller Club, which
you join so enthusiastically after
leaving school, and no great harm
ever come of it; but teach Schiller
for a living, and for every dative
case forgotten you are 50 much
money out of pocket.
'People who pay for thing de-
mand thorough workmanship or
none. To offer incomplete work
for complete market price is to be
either a cheat or beggar. The ter
rible grinding laws Of supply and
demand, pay and receive, give and
get, give no quarter to shilly-shally
labor. The excellence of your in
tentions is nothing to the point.
The stress of your poverty has not
the slightest connection with the
case. An editor will never pay you
for your poem because you wish to
help your mother. No customer
Will buy her best bonnet or her
wheat flower Of you because you are
unable to pay for rent. When you
have entered the world of trade, you
have entered a world where tender
ness and charity and personal inter-
est are foreign relations. Not for
friendships sake nor 'pity's sake.'
nor for chivalry's sake runs the
great rally-cry Of this great world
but only for value received
ut is with sorrow and shame, but
with hope and courage, and I write
iit-there is reason for the extern
sive complaint made by men, that
women no dot work thoroughly. I
am afraid that, till time and trouble
shall have taught them better, they
will not. It is because they have
never been trained? Is it because
they expect to be married? I? That it is
not in the least because they can
not, we know; for we know that
some Of the most magnificently ac-
curate work in the world has been
done by women"

 NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-One of the passen- gers arriving from Aspinwall to-day on the steamship Colon was George Mowbray, Brooklyn machinist who has been working on the Panama canal. His health has been broken down by the Chagres fever. He de- scribes the mortality among the 1aborers as frightful. Nine-tenths of those attacked by the fever die in the hospitals. Unless the victims have money or influence their bodies | are dumped into pits and covered with quicklime. There is saying that every tie of the Panama railroad | represents a tombstone for some one of those who were engaged in it's construction and it may almost as truly be said that for every yard of earth turned up l on the canal there is a death in the hospi- l tals.

 CINCINNATI, Nov. 1.-The Times-Star says there have been many signs of an increase in the colored population during the last few weeks. It has been noticed since the cleo tion. The hotels are besieged daily for po- sitions by walters and colored people asking for work everywhere. This is due to the emigration from the South. The negroes there have fear that the Democratic success means renewal of slavery. So thoroughly has this belief been born and bred in them that they are leaving for the North every day.
