Living for Pleasure.

When amusement becomes the seri-
ous business of life it ceases to be
amusement; yet it never amounts to
anything as a business. The hardest
useful labor is less exhausting, in the
long run, than those exciting pleasures
to which the deyotecs of amusement
condemn themselves. Tired muscle
and weary brain are not so hard to
bear as the utter WEAKNESS and losth-
inc of life, vet mixed with fear of death,
which is the lot of those who have made
pleasure their one aim in life. To the
laboring man, rest is sweet, and labor
is oft-tmes rest; to the pieasure-seeker,
even rest is WEAKNESS, and his accus-
toned pleasures are only as mOckery of
the emptiness of his life. Why should
life be thus empty to those who have
sought to fiji it with all manner of
pleasant things? Nay, rather, why
should life not be empty to those who
have emptied it of all earnest purpose, of
all noble cudeavor of all high accomp-
lishment? They have thrown away the
pearls, and are surprised that the casket
is empty; they have pursued the wind,
and are surprised to find that their ard,
uous pursuit ends only in vanity.-S. S.

THE STRENGTH OF HABIT.
One Of the Lessons Taught in the Para,
bio Of the Sower.

One Of the Lessons Taught in the Para
bio Of the sower.
In the parable of the sower we are
told that the seed which fell among
thorns and on stony ground at least
began to grow, while that sown by the
waysidc lay inert upon the surface until
picked up by the birds, So far as it
appears from the inspired narrative,
the pathway was originally like the
soil which surrounded it. Indeed, We
may suppose that the men who walked
across the field would avoid the thorny
and rough stony places. If so, it may
once have ranked with the good
ground, which brought forth thirty,
sixty and an hundred fold. The con
stant tread of footsteps had gradually
reduced it to a degree of hardness only
approXimated by the naturally unfayOr-
able localities in its vicinity.
The lesson taught us is that while
positively sinful indulgeuces and de-
moralizing surroundings are sad obsta-
cles to the complete success of the Cos
pei, even among its professcd disciples
simple negligence of duty, tacit resist
ancc to the truth, may render our
hearts as hard as marble. The old
Greek fable of the fox and the lion
points in the same direction. When
Reynard first beheld the King of Beasts
he was frightened nearly out of his wits,
on their second meeting he was some
what uneasy; but on seeing him for a
third time he ran up and emollcd of
him. Habits may be slowly formed,

MANHOOD

Virtues "oelulAy Ahtato AhAA Ael mus apeA-
sable to Its Full Developments
There is a wonderful lacS of man
hood and consequently of out-spokeu-
ness in the world. The defalcauons
and robbcries of monied institutions in
years past would most of thom not
have occurred if the men intrusted with
their affairs had simply had manhood
enough to do their duty But owing to
a cowardly fear of being thought sus-
picious and over careful they have not
made close Investigations, and have al
lowed policies to be followed which
they inwardlv disapprOved. And this
they did, though they knew the evils
which might follow their neglect and
silence.
In church relations men are constant
ly manifcsting a want of manhood. A
course OF action may be proposed which
they believe detrimental to the best in
tcrests of a church, an act of discipline
may be necessary to its purity and
good name, or n man of determined
will may try to force severe measure,
or perhaps even accommodation with
out reason, and such men will know
that wrong is being done and not say
one word. Many a pastor has been
driven from his position for the want of
a man with enough conscience and
courage to defend him against mean
and unworthy assaults. There are
church officers who for peace sake will
/ allow the greatest wrongs to be done
and make no protest
] Is r# Il
sible to obtain an expression of opinion
/ adverse to a candidate; men will whis-
/ per to each other their doubts and dis
/ sents, but when there is the opportunity
/ TO express them they will sit silent and
allow ignorance and unsOundness a free
/ course into the ministry. In commit,
tees there is often the same course of
conduct. One man will present a scrie,
. of resolutions and they will be adopted
without dissent and no sooner do the
members separate than nearly every
one will call in question the wisdom
and prOpriety of the action they have
taken.
In many cases men who love to have
the pre-cminenCc count on this weak
ness as an important factor to the sue
cess of their plans. If they initiate
measures, propose changes or make &
nomination for any office, and they arc
sure to do such things, they are sur
prised at opposition. They eXpeC
every one to accept their opinions with

How the Industry Prospers In This
Country.
The silk industry. which has become
so large an interest in this country, Is
purely manufacturing one, getting its
raw material altogether from abroad,
duty free. The manufacturer do not
expect much result from silk-raising
in America, chiefly because they think
silk can not be well reeled in this coun-
try at any satisfactory price. 1t Is
stated that girls in the French filatures
earn only from one 70 one and half
francs twenty to thirty cents) a day,
and in those Of Italy seventy-five
centinies 70 franc (fifteen to twenty
cents) for fourteen hours work. while
equally skilled labor here should return
nearly dollar. Moreover. silk valued
ut four to tive dollar per pound can be
brought to New York from Japan at
from three to eight cents per pound
freight The promising field for Am
erican silk-growing in America seems,
therefore. to BE- restricted chiefly to
that Of : subsidiary industry for women
and children, who would not otherwise
