Discomfort AND DUTY.-A good many
people spend all their life hunting for a
place in this world that they were never in
tended to fill. They never settle down to
anything with any sort of restful or con-
tentful feeling. What they are doing now
is not by any means the work that is suited
to their abilities. They have sunny ideal
Of a very noble life which they would like
to reach, in which their powers would have
free scope, and where they could make
very bright record. But in their present
position they cannot do much of anything
and there is little use to try. Their life is
humdrum and prosy outline, and they
can accomplish nothing really worthy and
beautiful. So they go on disconnected
with their own lot and signing for another;
and while they sigh the years glide away,
and soon they will come to the end, to find
that they have missed every opportunity of
doing anything worthy Of a rational being
On the passage to eternity. The truth is,
ones vocation is never some far-off posi-
bility. 1t is always the simple round Of
duties that the passing hour brings. No
day is commonplace if we only had eyes to
see it's splendor. There is no duty that
! comes to our hand but brings us the posi-
bility of kingly service.-Erchange

Reaction Of the Sexes.

The kitchen is woman's kingdom. Here
she works her Withholding, boiling, stew
ing, frying, hopping, washing, ironing;
emphatically ruling the roast. For ages
she has reigned and wrought unassisted
and unquestioned, save by some meddle-
some, tasting Soyer, Or cadaverous, bran
and-water- eating Graham. Naturally ha-
ting innovation, she has been content to do
everything just as her mother used to. 1t
is only within generation or two that sci
ence and invention have secured place on
the hearth-stone; but no sooner there. than
the hearth-stOne is abolished, the fire place
walled up, and the fire inclosed in an iron
box. Clumsy and awkward as the boxes
doubtless were at first, it would have been
long before women, if left to themselves,
wonld have ventured to improve the pat
tern; yet the secret history of the patent
ranges, patent ovens, and the thousand
and-one neat contrivances that adorn the
kitchen of today, would show that wo-
mems wit, not less than mans wisdom,
lies at the bottom Of the change. Steam
at last lends it's magic fingers to aid her in
her toll Monday morning has lost half its
terrors; for now, instead of the tub, the
corrugated board and the Bonded back, the
sole agencies used by our foremothers, u
crank is turned, and 10! the scrubbing is
finished; another crank, the clothes are
wrung; whi;e another returns them ironed
Leave the kitchen and ascend the parlor
One Of its neatest pieces is the sewing-ma-
chine. The days of never-done, eyes-ach-
ing sewing, extending from mother Eve to
the time of Elias Howe, are over at last.
A buzz of wheels, a rattle of the shuttle,
and yard Of seam is done. Women prob
ably invented sewing by hand, men taught
them to sew by foot. One can easily be-
lieve that woman first learned Of the angels
to sing; men made the beautiful piano to
accompany her. Now let us just take one
glance at the other side. Visit some fac
tory or machine-shop where women never
go. Grease, dirt, and disorder are the
leading features. Man, however he may
be an ingenious animal, is not an over-neat
one; and here his deficiency becomes patent.
If men know their true interest they will
open every door for the advancement of
woman!to equal knowledge and skill with
themselves, and in every department will
profit by her keen instinct, as much as by
their own vaunted science.

''Yes, sir this kind of work obliges man to keep sober as judge. Of all in the world, steamboa, pilots and railroad engineers should let liquor alone For on their cearnees of sight and coolness of head depends the safety of life and property"

Whittle and Bates had come down from the ledge, and all stood looking at the wreck about the powder-house Not only was the log house blown entirely to pieces, but the ground 1t stood on was blown away, clean and smooth, to the d-pth of three or four feet. The loose earth for thirty or forty feet was well-mixed with the remains of the bloodthirsty Apaches. We aftcrward found the head of one of them oil hun- dred yards or more away. Another who had been lying behind rock up the track watching the miners, jumped up and ran off, holding his hands to his head and Whittle thought that one more of the wretches had escaped. Five of them were either in or about the powder-house when the explosion occurred They were all in- stantly killed.
