REoUISIrls FOR SUCCESS.

The world very reluctantly bestows
her favors, and when she offers a pre-
MUM it is only through high excellence
that II Is won. This. perhaps, Is all
right, for men would not stimulate their
efforts to reach any exalted standard,
IL the point were easily attained, and
there were no competitive incentives
to success.
Young men, do not sit down listlessly
and repine over -. 'diments that
hedge up your life-way; there are sl-
ways dormant energies and faculties
that can be aroused. and whose devel.
oPment may lead to great results, that
invariably bring fortune and fame to
the victor. 1t is only he who reposas
in indOleuce aud ignorance who MUIR
murs at his lot and says there Is moth
ing for him to do.
The world is full of unperformed
work, and every human hand has it
Heaven-appolnted allotment. Patience,
perseverance, self reliance and enjur-
ance will work wonders, but alas! how
timidly aud distrustfully men take up
their burdens and draw upon their
mental and moral forces for success.
All great thoughts travail in pain, and
all things OF value demand time snc
tell to invest them with utility and
power.
The faculty of conct ntrating our en-
ergies and aims upon certain point or
object is the greatest essential to sue
GERS, and all do not possess it alike, but
like all other gifts, it can be strength
ened, enlarged and perfected by labor
ious training. Every great invention
and discovery and the accomplishment
of every important plan and purpose
has had its birth in perplexiug thought,
careful analysis, patient investigation,
and thorough absorption of every
faculty ofthe mind.
Struggle for pre-emlnence In some
thing that has for It's end the happiness
and general good of mankind. Work
With faith in GoD and an Imperial con-
scientionsness of reward for noble effort,
and not for the hollow smile OF the
worlds approval.
Know that your purpose is lofty and
exalted; then work it out, defying
mans ridicl,ie and criticism. Expect
opposition, and battle it down; it Is
oftener a valuable spur to high en-
deavor than q encouragement, and
great minds seldom confess its depress-
ing influences.

An ExPEasIyE NAVY.

Some time ago the Senate passed 3
resolution calling on Secretary CHAN
pLER for q statement Of the original
cost and the expenses for repairs on al
vessels Of the navy on register Novem-
Der, 1888. The secretary has replied,
and his answer contains some Interest,"
ing figures
There were ninety-two vessels on the
register at that time. or this number
twenty were built prior to the rebellion,
thirty-one during the war, and forty-one
since the termination Of hoStilities. The
first cost Of these vessels in the sggre-
gate was $40 796, 6l2,Therepairs cost Sll, :
200, So, or SIO4, 2l0 more than the origi-
nal expense Of construction and equip
ment.
Whether new vessels are needed or
not is not our purpose to discuss, but II
seems that it would have been cheaper
for the government to have sold the old
vessels and built new ones according to
the above figures
This is only on par with the otheT
txtravagant expenditures. Congress
appears to think that its only purpose
Is to meet and make heavy appropria-
tons, leaving the people to foot the

AMERICAN WOMEN.

The greatest enemy to our social and
domestic life is the prevailing passion
for the pursuits of pleasure and ease,
which is manifest in the youth of our
country, especially the gentier sex.
A life OF alternate Incidence and ex-
sitting pleasure seems to be the chief end
now sought, and health, happiness,
and reputation are often wrecked in the
insane desire to live entirely for the graf
ification Of the senses.
These pleasure. seekers never reflect
nationally upon the evil engendered by
such life, and the influence for i'll that
it exerts over all within its range. Many
an ipdulgent parent has been morally
snd financially ruined by this gross ap.
petite for animal qualification, and
many q husband has found out when
too late that these butterflies Of show
aud fashion are not the proper help
neets to make home happy, and the
marriage bond holy aud enviable co IL
pact.
1t Is criminal neglect In mothers,
teachers, ministers of the Gospel and
the public press not to offer word OF
counsel and rebuke to this deluded
class, that is daily inundated upon the
altar OF debasing luxury and effemi.
macy.
Ifparents would teach their children
that there are sacred duties they owe
to COP, to themselves, aud to the world
that must be discharged-that selt-love,
ease and enjoyment must be subordi'
nate to higher obligations and requisi-
tions-then would our American wo-
men Of the present day give place to
more hardy, energetic, self-reliant and
useful representation, fit for the wives
of even the noble sons of Co2NELIA.
1t is not that our girls are lacking In
sny of the grand attributes Of noble
womaphood, but the early guidance of
parents and guardians may have been
defective, or salutary restraint not ex-
ercised when the sensual instincts as
serted predominance over the more
spiritual.

week. The best colored pipes are much
sought by the devotees OF fashion, aud
the Inhabitants Of Cherry Hill have
been greatly surprised by the many
visits they have had OF late from the res.
idents Of the uptown hill. One highly
colored clay pipe, in which the owner
Rad smoked butts for years past, was
sold to . well.known society man for

Hill the next day. 1t attracted deserved
attention, and its new owner was called
a lucky fellow until he attempted to
smoke 1t. He was laid up for three
days, and by the verdict Of four physi-
clans his nearest friends were not allow
to see him.

LAY GOULD FULL OF CosrIDExCE.

The distinguished railroad operator,
Mr.. JAY GOULD, sees no danger to the
public in the recent collapses OF the
Northern Pacific and the West Shore
roads. The Northern Pacific will, he
thinks, become q valuable property;snd
the West Shore disaster was needed TO
show capitalists the risk involved In
building parallel lines. Mr. GOULD Is
confident that twenty-five years will
90 by before money will again be in
vested in competing lines. This opinion
Is, however, that Of man who controls
many llnes, and who may therefore see
in the West Shore troubles lesson that
people who are differently circum.
staneed cannot see.
Mr.. GOULD Is confident that this year
will bring good returns to the railroads.
The cheapness of steel and other ma
terials, and the steady growth of the
business and population Of the country
will contribute to the prosperity OF the
railroad traffic. To q broad question,
relative to the approach ola panic, he
said emphaticslly that he did not con-
slider that We are on the eve ola panic.
AZ do not now see,n he added, "any'
thing in the future to cause distrust.
We must expect now and then bad
wear as q matter of course. There can
be no panic when Wall street is as 1t Is
o-day. Ifrailroad securities were piled
up in the street there might be some
danger. They are, on the contrary,
more widely distributed than at any
time probably during the history Of the
street. In fact, there is a great shortage
of securities, and money Is perfect
drug. Two hundred million dollars are
lying idle in the street to-day. The
small percentage offered, Il and 2,
makes it small inducement to lend
money. i asked General ECKERT the
other day to ascertain by telegraph for
me how many investors there were IN
the country at large. The answer was re-
turned, "JO,6OO." Ifthis large array oil
rich men, IS hereafter as full of conf
denee in the country and its resources
as Of gold and greebacks, Mr.. GoULD's
most ssnguine expectations would
doubtless be met. But at this writing
the capitalists are very tlmid and dis
nustful, and so comes to pass that the
army of investors do not have much in
fuence for good over the general bust
ness situation.

AHAR FOR UsuRY ONLY.

The appointment of Chinese CORD N
to the command OF the forces in ESyp
is no doubt the wisest move yet made
by the British government, but that
does not settle affairs in the Sudan by
any means. Judging from the COM
ments in many journals, the whole
Egyptian muddle is settled and Ell
MAHDI as good as beaten by the mere
mention Of General GoRDON'S name.
When GORDON begins to call for men
and money, this cheerful and over
sanguine impression will be rudely dis
PEELED. Had the decisive step been
taken In time, perhaps the influence OF
General GORDON might have produced
effects that can now be secured only at
great cost. Had the British ministry
even let the Egyptian government
alone, matters would have been in a
much better position, and BAKER
Pssba's expedition might have accom-
plished something. But the interest
of England in Egyptian affairs is pure
~ selfish, the cOwardly attack upon
Egypt being purely q money-lenders'
war, and therefore the English govern
ment would neither furnish any money
itselltnor permit the Egyptian govern
ment to Use in the defence Of its SJu Ian
possessions any Of the funds collected to
pay the interest upon its debt. Millions
TOT tribute to English usurers, but not
one cent for defence" seems to be the
patriotic motto kindly selected by Eng
land for the Egyptian coat-ofsrms. But
perhaps the English ShylOek will yet
he glad to get out of the scrspe with q
skin al any price.

wHArARErHEY GOOD FOE.

The fact that the moneyed men OF
America take precious little interest In
politics is becoming more and more ap-
parent every year. And this Is especi-
ally true Of our young moneyed men.
About all that our modern plutocraey
seems good for Is to breed race OF
dawGlers and dudes.
1t Is rather odd that with their aping
of things English. our American youth
never emulate that ambition for dis
tinction in the public service which 10
60 common and Trustworthy trait OF
the young British aristocracy.
Among the many vices and follies
which they transplant so eagerly, and
30 easily make their OVID, it seems
strange that they do not sometimes pick
up and appropriate virtue, If only by
accident.
Those Of our rich young men who are
not dudes are mostly Wall street gam.
blers or amateur jockeys.
That is the nearest they ever come to
being active members of society.
Their fathers do not object to little In
vestments in politics now and then-an
occasional mortgage on Congressman,
an alderman, or even a common coun-
Gilman may come in handy even In the
best "fixed" family.
But the young fellows do not take
even that much interest.
1t is good old Democratic doctrine
that labor is honorable and idleness Ia
not. Yet a nation may be vastly bene-
fitted by the existence of a leisure class,
and there Is no inconsistency in such an
assertion.
But no nation was ever benefited by
such leisure class as the giided youth
Of our big cities.
In fact it would be good deal better
off il these nonenities received the same
treatment as our useless canines-tie a

To sURY ORTO BURN.

The practice of burning the bodies of
dead persons instead Of burylag them
In the earth, which was universal dur
ing the classic ages Of Greece and Rome,
has heen revived in all the great CEN
tres Of population in Europe and Amer
ies of late years with much more sue
cess and TO much greater extent than
has been generally supposed. 1t APP
pears by recent publication on this
subject that, after all the great battles
in the last terrible war between France
and Germany, the bodies Of the slain
soldiers had to be collected together and
burned in order to prepent the spread
Of pestilential diseases among the peo-
pie Of the neighboring regions. This
is said also to have been done, as . mat.
ter of necessity, at most Of the great
battles fought in Europe during the Ma
poleonic era But when recently q
movement was made In the French
National Assembly for leave to bring in
bill authorizing the general establish
ment OF furnaces for the cremation OF
the dead, the leave was refused.
This shows the tenacity Of the popu.
lar pr,judiee against the practice all
over christendom, for there can be no
doubt that the practice OF bury
ing has become firmly established in
he minds of the people Of all Christian
nations as part of religion ITSELF al
though In point Of fact the revived prac-
lice, which was begun In the Roman
catacombs during the persecution ofthe
Christians In thar empire, was really
borrowed from the sncien: Egyptians,
who faithfully preserved the bodies OF
their dead by the process Of embalm-
