Growing poor is harder than the actual
being So Poverty is not such terrible
thing when we once get down to it. 1t is
not dangerous unless it strikes in. Some
times the system Is strengthened ever after.
Long kept as well as quick made fortunes
are ever in jeopardy, and there is never one
sopoor that he can not be poorer; it is we'll
to know how to make the descent with the
least awkwardness. There is great deal
of sentimentalis m in the talk about speers
at poverty. Poverty Of pocket is much
less often in reality subject of ridicule than
poverty of soul. People will be apt to
think of you pretty much as you think OF
yourself If, because you can not enter
tain as you once could, can not dress, come
and go, you show solicitude lest you should
be neglected.; if YOU take friends to task,
and ascribe to unworthy motives what NAV
or NAV not have been meant for sights; if
you endeavor to enlist their sympathies BY
recounting your own disadvantages, ten to
one they will drop off, If, on the other
hand, you meet them as of DID, if they find
the same sunshine about you, do you sup
pose they will mind few Inconvenience?
Not they. DO not let life narrow down.
DO not let the necessary usefulness "strike
in" There are some who, out of their
largeness Of life, and natural appreciation
OF the beauty of harmony, are led easily
on after the ordeal Of getting down to it
has been safely passed. Surroundings in
tluence spirit, and we long to have grace
and fitness, and the poverty of convenience
about us. But the best gifts are every
mans. We can all have Gods pure air
and sunshine free; with a moderate share
of labor we can all command most scrupu-
lOuS neatneSS.

The Great Political Editor.

1t is said of Henry Watterson, the great
est political editor in our country, that it is
wonderful what an amount of work he
does, considering his eyesight is so poor
During the first three months in which he
took charge of the Louisville journal he
says he did not average four hours sleep in
the twenty -four, and until late, if not now,
it has been his custom to always overlook
the forms of the paper in the early morn
ing before it goes 10 press. His eyesight
is such that all of his reading of papers has
10 be done for him, and when he writes at
night he always uses an amanuensis. AS
to writing, there is nothing on the pape,
that he cannot do well. He started into
journalism as musica! and dramatic cri-
tic, and his excellence as a paragrapher
and editorial writer is known everywhere.
Socially, Henry Watterson is pleasant
fellow. He likes good champagne, and
like all Kentuckians, is not averse to Ken
lucky bourbon and draw poker. In an in
te, view once he said: "There is only one
worse poker player than myself in the
world, and he has lately joined the church"
He is married and has a family and he
would be rich if he cared anything about
money. But he does not. He spends as
fast as he makes. He uses his means gen.
rrously and to the personal comfort of him
self and friends.

A Sinful Posture 200 Years Ago.

The following law and law case are taken
from the records Of the New Haven Colo
ny in 1860. The statute says: "Whoso-
ever shall inveigle or draw the affections Of
any made or n.aide.servant. either to him
self or others, without first gaining the con-
sent OF her parents, shall pay to the Plan
tation for the first offence 40 shiliings; the
second I pounds; for the: third he shall be
imprisoned or corporeouslv punished" I'm

WORDS OF STRENGTH.

There are three lessons | would write
Three words as with burning pen,
In tracings of eternal light,
Upon the hearts Of men.
Have Hope. Though clouds environ now,
And siadness hides her face in scorn,
Pu, thou the shadow from thy brow,
No night but hath its morn.
Have Faith. Where'er the bark is driver
The calm's dispor1. the tempest's nirsh-
Knows this-God rates the hosts of Heaven
The inhabitants of earth.
Have love. Not love alone for one,
Bat man as man, thy brother call,
And scatter like the circiing sun
Thy charities on ALL
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Hope, Faith, Love-and thou shalt find
Strength when lifes surgcs rudest roll
Light when thou else were blind.

He Sought the Battle.

Among the first Confederate troops
that went out from Arkansas was Par
son Geesmore, who enlisted as chap
lain.
He was a devoted Christian and his
prayers we're regarded by the men as
utterances from higher power. Just
before the battle Of Jenkins Ferry the
old man in a sermon, said:
"My dear boys, have decided to 60
in the next fight with you. / don't
think man can properly preach about
the evils and sensations Of war unless
he has experienced the feeling of going
into battle. Now the next lighting we
engage in shall have the numbered
among its participants"
The old gentleman rode large gray
horse, and when preparations for the
battle of Jenkins Ferry were being
made, he appeared on the snowy charger.
Some of the officers begged him to keep
out of danger, but with an expression
of horoism he replied that no would en-.
gage in the battle.
The first artillery fire from the enemy
shot the hcrse from under the old gen.
tleman, and by the time he settled him
self on his feet bullet came along and
carried off one of his fingers. He at
tempted to be calm, but just then q
bullet carried away the right thumb,
and, wheeling around, the old man
struck determined trot for the rear.
Hold on, parson - called some one.
"IIold on hi" he replied. "Ask
n man to hold on when the whole id
universe is shooting at him! Take care
of your body, and the Lord will take
care Of your soul !" t

Professor Douglass, of the Michigan
State University, produces amateur cy-
clones at will by suspending a large cop
per plate by silkcn cords. This plate is
charged heavily with electricity, which
hang down like bag underneath, and
is rendered visible by the use of arseni-
Gus acid gas, which gives it a green color.
The formation is q miniature cyclone, as
perfect as any started in the clouds. 1t
is funncl-shaped, and whirls around
rapidly. Passing this plate over a table,
the cyclone snatches up copper cents,
pith balls, and other objects, and scat
tiers them on all sides.

TIRED.

have been so tired--so tired
Many days my heart has beat
Wildly, like frightened child's
Lost amid the busy street.
What was it used to pray
Ere learned to wake and weep,
Kneeling at my mothers knee,
"Now l lay me down to sleep"
have followed hope so far
That l seem to lose the way,
II is dark, and must rest,
But | am too tired to pray.
Ere l say my grown-up prayer
shall tire and fall asleep
What was that--"I pray tho Lord
spray the Lord my soul to keep"
All it was my child's prayer
|, who am u woman grown,
l, to kncel with this small prayer,
Painting at the Great White Throne
can think of nothing else,
But to fold my hands and make,
Meekly as child my prayer
"lf / die before | wake"
"If die"-are those the wordsI
Il forget that short prayer CEN
have lost my way on earth,
Could find my way to hcavenS
Nay, am too tired to go,
All alone DER Deaths dark lake
"If l die"--"I pray the Lord
"Pray the Lord my soul to take"
i have been so tired-so tired
AS bird without nest,
AS little child astray,
have dropped and found no rest,
Now lay me down to sleepy
Peacefully and calm rest take
Weakest prayers our Father hears
AS He romsed-"For Christs sake !"

The London inner circle railroad is q
marvellous feat of engineering skill. 1t
runs throughout its entire distance I'M
der the busiest centre Of the largest city
in the world, and the operations attend
ing the excavation and construction have
proceeded without serious injury to or
interruption,of business or traffic Quick
sands have had to be- passed through,
beds of old rivers spanned, lofty ware
houses and massive buildings secured
while their foundation have been under
minded, and an intricate network Of gas
and water pipes sustained until supports
had been applied them from below.
Added to this the six main sewers had
several times to be reconstructed. Day
and night the work has been carried on
for eighteen months, and now the en-
gineers are able to announce that their
tunnel is complete. The laying of the
rail and the building Of the stations are
the only portion of tho immense work
that remains TO DO done, and in very
short time trains will be passing over the
whole of this wonderful subterranean
road.

We have no criticism to offer on
the Legislature for refusing ~

have always a lvocated the right and

fear and popular clamor.
Besides, we have a sincere admi-

ample opportunity for its full eXer
