GREAT COLUMNS IN MID STREAM.
"What beautiful bridge between old age and
childhood is religion. How intuitively the child
begins with prayer and worship on entering life
and how intuitvely. ION quitting life, the old man
turns back to prayer and worship, putting him
self again side by side with the infant" remarks
Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, in his ''Strange StoryassAt
Yes, but between its distant abutments the
bridge of life has many high and awful arches,
through which the waters dash and roar in wrath
and desoatiOn. Prayer and worship alone do
not sustain these. Natures solid rocks must lie
mistaken beneath, and human art and skill must
rear and soldify the structure overhead. Gods
will is best eXemplifed in the laws He has made
for the creatures whom He has placed under their
control. Neither the child's trustful "Our Faith
err nor the old mans "Forget me not in the
midst of my infrmities," will alter this by the
weight of a single grain.
Science and art first-then faith and prayer
is the order of heaven itself. Divinity heals
through its agents, and those agents are the dis
coveries of man not the vague announcements
of prophets seers. Is life burden to you?
Does time drag? Is your power to cope with
LIES problem and duties weakened? You are
not well. Your blood is sluggish and tainted,
perhaps; or some important organ is torpid or
overwOrked This fact may have taken the form
of dyspepsia, rheumatism, govt, malaria, pains
in the stomach, chronic headache, or any ofsa
dozen other ills. PARKER'S TONIC will invig
crate you, as fresh AIR invigorates those who
have been shut up in damp, fetid cells. 1t is
powerful, pure, delicious, scientific, safe-the
Keystone of the central arch of the bridge of
life.

Shrewdness versus Sharpness.
Shrewdness is an excellent oualit

Shrewdness is an excellent quality in
a business man. 1t carries him through
difficulties that would swamp others,
and enables him to avoid dangers into
which less shrewd men would be GER
tain to stumble. But when shrewdness
degenerates into mere sharpness-which
may be defined as shrewdness devoid of
conscientiousness-it becomes as dan
gerous as a two-edged sword in the
hands of a child. 1t cuts both its pos
SCISSOR and all with whom he has deal
ings. Shrewdness is honest, taking adj
vantage of circumstances in an honest
manner, and only for legitimate pur-
poses. Sharpness frequently descends
to trickery to accomplish its object,
and is so closely allied to downright
dishonesty oftentimes that the differ
ence between them is not apparent to
the ordinary observer. The shrewd
merchant is respected and successful,
while the mere sharper-equally shrewd
but less honest-is avoided, despised,
and at constant wal with the world. He
is rarely successful, and success never
brings him respect. Most frequently
he may be found at the bottom of the
ladder of fortune, sore from the tum-
bles he has received, for he sometimes
climbs part way up by hanging to the
skirts of more energetic climbers, only
to fall when shaken off and left t O his
own exertions. He hopes to reach the
top at the expense of others, and wastes
more brain and muscle in the endeavor
to ascend by trickery than would suf-
flee to carry him triumphantly to the
highest round by honest endeavor. To
such men shrewdness, instead of being
a blessing, is a curse.-Sewing Machine
Journal.

Rank Profits.

The banks of this city certainly have
no reason to complain since they have
almost, without exception, had aprofit-
able year. Bank stocks are a favorite
investment Notwithstanding the risks OF
defalcation. This isshown by the fact
that out of the sey5hy-four banks the
only shares offered Br sale are in five,
the other sixty-nine being out of market.
Most of the bank shares bring a very
high premium. The Importers and
Traders, for instance, stand at 274,
the Broadway at 275, the City at 2SO,
the Fifth Avenue at $50, the First
National at $40, while the Chemical as
usual towers over the whole list, its
shares being in demand at 2,O1O. The
reason of this great success is found in
the immense deposits this bank enjoys.
which is the result of confidence.
Having this great advantage it divides
100 per cent. per annnm on its capital
and this brings its stock up to the
present extraordinary quotation.-M Y.

Usefulness Of the PawnbrOker.

Opinion is pretty evenly divided as to
whether ..Uncle" is a blessing or a
curse and there is a good deal to be
said on both sides. Some people urge
that the existence of mean to secure
prompt advances upon any and every
thing is a direct incentive to habits OF
im~providence; while, on the other hand,
many cases are cited where the kin ]
offices of Uncle" have enabled ten :
porarily embarrassed persons to quietly
tide over hard times. Then there are
exceptional occasions in the lives of
most of us when the pawnbroker is in a
position to save us much trouble and
Inconvenience. L remember once in
Edinburgh walking up to the ticket Of
flee at Waverly Station to take a ticket
by the "Flying Scotchman" to London,
and finding that some l~ight-ingered
gentleman had relieved me of my pock-
etbook and contents. My presence il
London the same night was urgently
necessary, so to avoid delay I ran tn
Princess Street, secured a 95 advances
on my watch, and caught the trail
after all. 1t was a happy inspiration,
and I have thought more kindly Of
''Uncle'' ever since. Upon another CO.
casion l vas clever enough to leave my
pocketbook at home when starting for
the Continent, and only discovered my
blunder when 1 felt in my pocket to find
the wherewithal to pay the s'cabby''
who drove me from Kings Cross to
Victoria Station. This time, too,
ssUncle" was the means of saving me
some time and trouble.
Last year Twas staying at Doncaster,
and was rather surprised one morning
by a knock at my door while dressing.
In answer to my "Come in," there en-
tered a young fellow whose acquaint-
ance l had made quite casually in the
hotel smoking room. With many apol-
ogies he told me that he had lost everyfar
thing he possessed over the St.Leger,"
and hadn't enough money to take him
home. Would 1 lend him G5? KNEW
something of his people and that he was
a gentleman, so unhesitatingly handed
him what he required. The poor fell
lows modification at having to mako
such a request to a stranger was, how
ever, so intense, that after stammering
his thanks he burst into tears. ssLook
here" said Lei see how it is you hate
to be beholden to a comparative strang-
er; why don't you go to your 'Unclep'
You have jewelry enough about you to
carry you round the world" I never
saw a man SO grateful in my life.
He returned me my ~ssiver," had
a satisfactory interview with his avun-
cular relative, who readily advanced
him ego on his Benson's repeater,
came back with his face beaming with
independent delight, and insisted upon
cracking a bottle of s.Giesler's extra,

Need Of Taking an Invoice.

Every man who conducts his business
in a thorough manner, every year takes
an invoice of the stock on hand, the
number and amount of debts that he
owes, as well as a list of the debts due
to him. By this means he ascertain
not only whether the past years bust
ness has been profitable or not, but also
Just how he stands financially. How
many farmers follow this plan? The
great majority farm year after year
without having anything like a correct
idea of how much money they have
made or lost. or how it was done. Ii
at the end of the year they have lived
and had a surplus, they seem to think
this is all that is necessary to know,
and go ahead another year. At the
present time no other reputable bust
ness could be conducted successfully on
such a plan. My experience and OBJ
servation are that farmers who follow
this plan are not as successful, other
things being equal, al the n who
takes the pains to ascertain whether he
is making money or not, and how it is
done.
Take the farm first, place a fair val
uation upon it; just what you would eX-
pect to receive if sold for cash. Then
take an inventory of your household
and kitchen furniture, then of your
farming implements; then stock of all
kinds; then the grain and wheat on
hand; also the supply of food for fam
lily use. Make a complete list of every
thing your own, placing a reasonable
price on everything. On stock, grain,
ETC., the ruling market price in the
neighborhood should be the basis.
Then make a list of those who are ow-
ing you; if good, or bad, make a note
of the case just as it is. Then make
out a list of what you owe, and to
whom. An inventory of this kind
should always be kept, and will often
save considerable trouble. This will
show you exactly how you stand finan,
cially, and from this you can Judge
better of what to do in the future

AN HOUR At THE PLAYGROUND.

sat an hour, today, John, beside the old
brook stream,
Where we were school-boys in old time, when
manhood was q dream:
The brook is chokcd with fallen leaves, the
pond is dried away
old place to-day.
The school-house is no more, John, beneath
our locust trees;
The wild rose by the window side no more
waves in the breeze;
The scattered stones look desolate-the sod
they rested on
Has been plowcd up by stranger hands since
you and were gone.
The chestnut tree is dead, John, and-what is
sadder now
The broken grapevine of our swing hangs on
the withered bough:
Tread our names upon the bark, and found
the pebbles rare
Laid up beneath the hollow side, as we had
piled them there.
Beneath the grass-grown bank, John, 1 looked
for our old spring,
That bubbled down the alder path, three PAGES
from the swing;
The rushes grow upon the brink, the pool is
black and bare,
And not a foot this many a day, it seems, has
trodden there.
1 sat me on the fence, John, that lies as in old
time
The same half panelin the path, we used SO
oft to climb
And thought how DER the bars of lite our
playmates had passed on.
And left me counting on this spot the faces
that are gone!
