DIFFERENCE IN WAGES AND LIVING. sty,
The laborers at Youngstown, he stated,
got at least three times as much money for
their work as these in England, and their
living costs them about the game. The
const quencs was that American laborers
lived that much better than the English.
He thought but little time would elapse
after the passage Of the Morrison bill until
the American laborer would be almost on
a level with the English laborer. 1tSwould
be in proportion to the price Of products in
either country. sy.i3ii
Mr.. Williams inatanced q city in Eng-
land where he worked with between ten
end fifteen thousand laborers. He knew
many Of them, and never heard that more
than two or three owned their own homes.
"now different in this country" said he,
his faco beaming with pleasure at the
thought Of the contrast. AT youngstown
two-thirds Of the laborers own their homes.

independent freedom of your walk.
Such firm yet gentle strides betrayed
the dominant unconventionality of your
character.
He was Doctor of Divinity, and ]
didn't care to sass him, but felt bound
in Christian honesty to ask him:
WAS wearing my brown and black
plush suit?"
He believed so.
Then was making special effort
to take long, swinging steps, | said,
because that is the only way car
make the COMPOUNDED drapery swish
right. That meant exigency, not char
acter. See me in my new dark blue
street costume, with its narrow skiri
and internal strappings, and you'll say
I'm mincer from Minceville. - Clara

young ladies formed at the beginning

ology, and was sanguine enough to
subject its members last week to a
written examination. The following
answers were elicited:
What is physiology
Physiology is the act of learning
the different parts of the body and the
way to preserve health.
Another answer reads as follows:
physiology is the science pertaining
to the whole body and everything in it.
'What is anatomy?n
Anatomy is the fleshy part of the
body. Anatomy is the science of
bones.

Labor and Longevity.

Ericsson. the veteran inventor, was
81 years old recently. He is in excel
lent health. and works. it is said, six
teen hours a day, proving an exception
to the general rule, like many others
that are received without question, is
a fallacy. Perhaps it might be fairly
asserted that busy men live longer than
idle men; that work is. after all, the
true elixir of life. Many noteworthy
instances where longevity comedies
with remarkable mental activity will
easily occur to the reader.
Was not Sophocles more than so,
when, to prove that he was not in his
dotage-as his heirs claimed, in order
to get his money-he wrote one of his
greatest tragediesp Did not Humboldt
do more work at fourscore than many
bright men do at fortyp Goethe, as
every one knows, died with pen in
hand at the age of 81. Won Ranke,
the foremost of living historians, has
just published another volume of his
Universal History; he will be so years
next December. Carlyle and Emerson
lost none of their vigor until they
reached three-scorc years and ten.

tons are known as Victor Hugo. show
no signs of decrepitude. although it is
now more than eighty-two years since
Victor Hugo was born. Historians. il
may be remarked, have usually been
long lived.

craftsmanship did not diminish through

more, and Mrs. Livingstone her kind
adopted mother! Fancy Roy's tender
smile and loving look; recall the very
words he spoke-his earnest tone his
sigh.
What was thatp That was not fancy,
surely? She sat quite still--her face
still covered by her hands-and listened;
a sigh had sounded close beside her,
breathed like the very echo of her
dream; and now voice-oh, Heaven,
what voice! whispered her name:

She turned, she rose, gazed for one
moment in his face as if bewildered;
then, with a cry of love and joy unut-
terable: Roy! my belovedm sprang to

sShe will welcome you as ! do. We
shall part no more. You will learn,
dear, that she never meant to part us.
And another waits for you. Oh, come,
love, come to the heart that aches to
welcome you to the arms of your own
true mother.

Surplus of Lawyers.

Complaint of the oyercrowding of
the legal profession is noticeable in
widely separated sections of the coun-
try. In Vermont, towns which used to
raise and support solid lawyers of the
old school, learned in pleadings, do not
afford income to keep one alive. In
the South it is said that the profession
of law is having dull times in many of
the larger towns, while in Philadelphia,
where well-known proyerb implies
that superior assortment is maintains
ed, large proportion of the 100 law
yers starye. A statistician reckons
that in that city only five have an in
come of $4,000 each and upwards,
about thirty $4,000 each, and 100
$4,000, while 1000 average not over
$500 year from legitimate fees.
There are two or three causes for
this superiiuity of lawyers. In nearly
all the states the old and intricate sys-
TEN of pleadings has been done away;
1T was cumbersome lumber, but it re-
CURED a good deal of study to master
1t and so served 10 keep down the num-
Der of aspirants to the bar The much
simpler modern systems are more east
ly mastered, while the multiplication of
law schools has rendered an education
for the bar much more accessible. Old
lawyers are apt to think that a deteri-
Grafton OF the profession has resulted,
but that does not follow. What was
formerly close trade-union, guild or
profession has been thrown open to
more general entrance. Nothing has
been lost by throwing aside the old
pleadings, however difficult they may
have been to acquire, if after acquisi-
sition they were lumber and encum-
brance. The modern law student NAV,
If he chooses, spend upon general ed
ucation the same time he would apply
to them, and secure at least as much
mental discipline This ought, per-
haps, to be more generally required.
On the other hand the avoidance of
litigation is more generally sought than
formerly. Under the modified system
of codified statutes, all in one volume,
men of ordinary intelligence can con-
suit the statutes themselves; as to the
common law, or that rendered by the
courts, the cases ordinarily arising have
now been so thoroughly adiudicated

Moreover, there is general disposition
among more honorable members Of the
bar not to encourage litigation, unless
1t is necessary; whether that is more
true than formerly it would be difficult
to say.
1t is certainly not misfortune to the
country that less wealth proportionally
is consumed in litigation than former
ly; if such is the case in the administra-
ton of the criminal law, there must be
increasing expense for the maintenance
of courts and public prosecution olong
as crime increases.
Activity of business always gives rise
to clash of interests, and makes litiga-
ton. The great mass of this is now be-
tween real persons and corporations, or

A year has passed since gentle Avis
disappeared, and once more gay par
ty of merry guests made The Laurels
bright and cheerful, foremost among
them Rose Brandon, the beauty, and
heiress, and belle.
A great favorite was she with stately
Mrs. Livingstone, and there were not
wanted those who named her as the
future mistress of the splendid but
gloomy house which her beauty and
Joyous laughter made so bright.
Even Roy Livingstone brow, or
which the cloud of disappointment and
regret had grown habitual, cleared
somewhat as his artist-eyes took in her
fresh proud loneliness; and as he lis
tened to her animated talk, the smile
that had grown so rare stole to his lips,
and shone like a light in his ewes. His
