Ready for Any Honest Work.
Philadelphia Ledgar.

%HbuuetpHtu LeuyuT.
A recent writer defines "worry'-a
trouble which makes many people sick,
and even some to die-to be labor done
without faith. He means by this, efforts
made without confidence in the success
aimed at. There is word of truth in
the saying, Courage, always courage! |!
A successful man who overheard less
sanguine person drawl out, 81 wish l
c0uN," turning upon him suddenly with
the words, "Say 1 all, and you can !"
That is what the energetic man had
proved in his own experience, and what
many languid individual might prove
too, if he would only once wake up.
"Our doubts" the great poet has it,
"are traitors"
The passengers and idlers in certain
street in New York were once upon a
time amused by the proceedings of a
poor fellow whom the police did not
interrupt, though his movements gather
ed crowds, who stopped to look on and
inquire. They went their way, admir-
ing persistence which almost argued
insanity. The man had applied at the
door of store for assistance. "You are
strong and able," was the answer,
"why don't you go to work" "Work ?
1 would gladly, if any one would give
me work to do "Willyou do days
work if give you days wages?"
"Try me-" was the answer. "Well,
take that brick-put it on the curb at
the corner of Nassau street. Pick it
up again and carry it to the corner of
the Park. There lay it down. Take
it up again and carry it back. Repeat
the walk until working hours are over,
and 1 will pay you days wages" If
the man who gave this apparently sense
less direction imagined that the other
would refuse the arrangement, he was
mistaken. The man took his word,
plodded on through long summer day,
and received not only his money, but
the applause of the crowd, quite as well
bestowed as those upon the victor i'll
any walking match.
If he had "worried" over such ques-
tions as "What is the use?" he could
not have done it.
His aim was to honestly earn days
wages, and he accomplished it. 1t was
not, to be sure, very ambitious pur-
pose, or very dignifed employment
of muscle without mind. But it was
done without "worry," and he surviv-
ed that day and provided food for the
next. And it is safe to say that man
got around all right in other employ
ment. He was philosopher in hum
BILE attire, capable of teaching many a
more pretentious individual, with am
pie means, one great secret of life. We
have only one day at time to live in,
and it is never worth while to shorten
the work of the day, while we lengthen
the hours in weary speculations as to
the utility of any honest pursuit, or in
doubts as to results. "Meeting trouble
half way" is in the timid sense, even
more foolish than "dropping buckets
inlU Cinpty wCiIS, anu glowing wCal y
drawing nothing up" The world and
its doings are made up of triaes, any
way-some sad, some glad, and others
foolish. But an honest folly which
pays is better than worry, which is usu-
ally only compensated, when the best
comes, or the worst is over, with the
reflection, "What fiat I was %

Marvellous HOrsemanShip.

A st. Petersburg correspondent, wri-
ting to the London Standard, says:
"This morning I witnessed wonder
full display of horsemanship. 1t took
place in the Petroffsky Park. Here, in
the presence of the Grand Duke Nicho-
las, and most of the foreign officers and
guests, the regiment of Cossack Guards
went through an extraordinary series of
exercises which threw the most daring
feats OF the circus into the shade. The
entire regiment passed at full galop, in
loose order, with many of the men
standing upright in their saddles, others
upon their heads with legs in the air,
many leaping upon the ground and then
into the saddle again at full speed,
some springing over their horses heads
and picked up stones from the ground,
and yet regaining their seats. While
performing these feats all were brandish-
ing their sabers and firing pistols,
throwing their carbines into the air and
catching them again, and yelling like
maniacs. Some men passed in pairs,
standing with leg on each others
horses-one wild fellow carried off
another dressed as a woman. The
effect ofthe scene was absolutely bewil-
dering, and it seemed as if the whole
regiment had gone mad. Upon a sig
nal being given the regiment divided
into two parts. One rode off; then
halted and made their horses lie down
on the ground, lie down beside them,
waiting as in war the approach of the
enemy. The other section of the regi-
ment then charged down, and in an
instant every horse was on his feet,
every rider in his saddle, and with a
wild yell they rode at their supposed
enemy. When the maneuvers were
over, the regiment rode past, singing,
and uncommonly we'll together, a mill
tary chorus. Altogether, it was mar
velous exhibition of daring horseman-
ship, and one hardly knew whether to
admire the docilitg and mettle of the
steeds or the skill and courage of the
riders. All the foreign officers and
guests were no less astonished than de-
lighted"

A Manufactured Nose.

Thomas Colts has recently been dis
charged from Bellevue Hospital with a
restored nose. He was deprived of
his nose number of years ago by a
cancerous affection technically called
1nIns. -wn1tli1lt-s1roSz-,tt nasal hor--
as well as the fleshy covering and even
the lower eyelids. His treatment was
undertaken over 10 years ago by DR..
Thomas Sabine, the Professor of Anat-
omy of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, and has been successfully
pursued up to the present time. DR..
Sabine first addressed himself to the
task of arresting the disease, and when
that task was accomplished he restored
the lost eyelids by grating thereon
healthy skin taken from the cheeks and
forehead of the patient. The more
difficult operation of restoring the nose
followed. This was done by making
use of the third finger of the left hand,
from which the nail was first removed
by nitric acid. Then the end of the
finger was fixed against the forehead
between the eyes, the epidermis at the
points of contact having been previously
removed TO bring about adhesion. At
the same time the finger up to the
second joint was split open on the un-
der side, the flesh stripped off, and
the flaps thereby produced were con-
nected with the flesh of the cheek on
either side. The hand was fixed in the
proper position by plaster of Paris, and
held so until the adhesion was complete.
Then the finger was amputated at the
second joint, and the free edges of the
part adhering to the face were arranged
so as to form the wings of the nostrils.
During all this time the nasal orifce
was kept open by hard rubber tube.
The treatment necessarily occupies
much time, and involved a number of
painful operations, but was completely
successful, and it is almost impossible
now to distinguish the nose thus fashion
ed by surgical skill from one cast in
nature's own mold.

And DER the moor and valley;
Such heavy thoughts my heart do fill
Since parting with my Sally.
seek no more the fine and gay,
For each does but remind me,
How swift the hours did pass away.
With the girl I've left behind me.
Oh ne'er shall I forget the night,
The stars were bright above me,
And gently lent their silv'ry light,
When first she vow'd to love me.
But now I'm bound to Brighton camp,
Kind heaven, then pray guide me,
And send me safely back again
To the girl I've left behind me.
Had the heart to sing her praise,
With all the skill of Homer,
One only theme should fill my lays
The charms Of my true lover.
So, let the night be e'erso dark,
Or e'er 80 wet or windy,
Kind heaven send me back again
To the girl I've left behind me.
Her golden hair in ringlets fair,
Her eyes like diamonds shining,
Her slender waist with carriage ohasts,
May leave the swain repining.
Ye gods above! Oh! hear my prayer,
To my beauteous fair to bind me,
And send me safely back again
To the girl I've left behind me.
The bee shall honey taste no more,
The dove become q ranger,
The falling waves shall cease to roar,
Ere shall seek to change her.
The VOWS we REGISTERED above
Shall ever cheer and bind me,
In constancy to her love,
The girl I've lift behind me.
My mind from her shall still retain,
In sleeping or in waking.
Until I see my love again,
For whom my heart is breaking.
If ever return that way,
And she should not incline me,
evermore will live and stay
With the girl I've left behind me.

Something Perhaps he Would Eat.

Cincinnati Inquirer.
Heard a good story on West End
minister one day last week. He is a
vegetarian of the strictest order, and in
the course of his pastoral career he was
invited out to Sunday dinner by one of
the sisters of his flock, whose name for
the nonce shall be Smith. Old man
Smith didn't go to church that morning.
His wife told him to expect her to
bring home company to dine and he,
with the aid of the cook, laid the foun-
dation for superb repast. Mrs. Smith
came but all the company she brought
was the minister. They were seated at
the table when this sort of conversation
ensued:
"Mr Tones," meaning the minister,
"what part of the chicken do you like
best?'
"Really, Mr.. Smith, l don't care
about any chicken" "
"Well, here is some extra find roast
beef; try some of this"
"Excuse me Mr.. Smith, l will forego
the beef"
s'I have some tender lamb here-how
will that suit?"
81 never eat lamb.
"Well, now l know you can't refuse
this boiled ham,"
"Pardon me, but ham l never touch. "
During all this time Smiths father,
an old, gray-haired sinner, had been
seated near him watching operations,
and, standing it as long as he could,
speaking out in piping voice:
"John, maybe the = fool will
suck an egg"
The enjoyment of the dinner was
spoiled.

Judging of Distances.

Place man and a dog side by side
at distance of twenty feet, and any
person with an eye capable of distin-
gushing them will be able to tell which
is on the right, which is on the left.
The eye is not easily deceived as to
position at right angles to the line of
visions. Let the man advancefv feet;
it is easy to tell that the dog is farther
away than the man. Next, place the
man at a distance of 100 feet, the dog
at los feet; it isnot SO easily decided as
before, although mistakes are rare with
normal eye. But at 500 and 600 feet,
respectively, it is less easy, although we
can still tell which is to the right and
which is to the left. The images form
ed on the retina by the same object at
different distances are very similar,
differing only in size and distinctness.
For this reason it is difficult to judge of
distances, requiring much practice. A
person standing straight strip of
railroad is rarely able to tell wheGneI
distant train is approaching or receding
or at rest, SO slight is the change in ap-
parent size from which the distance
is to be estimated. Upon the sea it is
very difficult, without long practice, to
Judge ofdistances.
Refraction always changes the appar-
ent place of an object, so that we seem
to see the sun after it has gone below
the horizon. A more striking but less
frequent phenomenon of refraction is
that known as mirage. Refraction also
affects the color of an object. The
media through which it passes bas more
or less effect upon the ray. In fog
objects are dimly seen, the effect resem-
bling that due to distance; hence OBJ
jects look larger. for the eye judges of
the size of an object by multiplying the
size of the image or impression receiv-
ed by the square of the distance, while
the latter is estimated from the indis-
tinctness Cfthe object. In the fog the
apparent distance is increased, but the
eye inrerprets it as due to the opposite
cause. On looking at the photograph
of a tree, church, a monument or a
pyramid, it is not possible to form a
correct idea of its size unless a man or
animal is seen in the same view with
which to compare it.
In nature, especially in land, the inter-
vening objects that lead up to it give
the data on which to calculate the dis
tance. Where none intervene, as look
ing from peak to peak, the eye must
depend on distinctness, and where the
air is very clear and transparent, as in
Colorado, distances seem less than they
are. If the object is seen through
transparent, but colored media, the
form remains true, but the colors are
changed.
