CHEMISTRY AS A PROFESSION

Chemists as a rule receive from one
thousand to twelve hundred dollars
year. This seems small when we
consider what expense young man
has been put to obtain the necessary
education. Sometimes, however, in
a manufacturing house where he has
made himself particularly useful, a
chemist may receive eighteen hundred
or two thousand dollars, and, as SUI
perintendent of works, he might get
five thousand or ten thousand dollars
but such cases are very exceptional.
One reason why salaries are smaller
in our large cities is said to be found
in the number of competent chemists
who have come from Germany, and
who are willing to work for lower
wages than their American brethren
demand.
When a chemist has, after years of
study and long practice, thoroughly
qualified himself in his profession, he
can give what is called san expert
opinion. This, as Sam Weller might
say, sis an opinion as is much more
valu BILE than an opinion as is not ex-
pert In lawsuit, for example,
chemists would be employed by both
sides, and an expert would receive
from fifty dollars day to twenty
five dollars an hour. If an expert
examined a mine, made report no
the formation, and gave his views on
the likelihood of its paying the peo-
Pile who intended to purchase it, he
would be paid perhaps five or six
hundred dollars and all expenses.
But, remember, there are very few
ssexperts," and that those who enjoy
that reputation have paid the price
of long-continued study, of hard and
enthusiastic labor, for the reputation
they have made.-Selected.

The End of the Way.

My life is a wearisome journey,
I'm sick with the dust and the heat,
The rays of the sun beat upon me,
The briars are wounding my feet;
But the city to which I am journeying,
Will more than my trials repay,
And the tolls of the road will seem nothing
When I get to the end of the way.
There are so many hills to climb upward,
often am longing for rest;
But he who appoints me my pathway,
Knows just what is needful and best;
1 know in his Word he has promised
That my strength shall be as my day;
And the tolls of the road will seem nothing
When get to the end of the way.
He loves me too well to forsake me,
Or give me one trial too much;
All his people have been dearly purchased,
And Satan can never claim such.
By and by shall see him and praise him,
In the city of unending day;
And the tolls of the road will seem nothing
When get to the end of the way.
When the last feeble step has been taken.
And the gates of the city appear,
And the beautiful songs of the angels
Float out on the listening ear;
When all that now seems SO mysterious,
Will be plain and clear as the day;
Yes, the tolls of the road will seem nothing
When I get to the end of the way.
Though now L am footsore and weary,
shall rest when I'm safely at home;
know shall receive glad Welcome,
For the Saviour himself has said Come!
So when am weary in body,
And sinking in spirit, say,
All the tolls of the road will seem nothing
When get to the of the way.
Cooling fountains are there for the thirsty;
There are cordials for those that are faint;
There are robes that are whittier and purer
Than any that fancy can paint;
Then I'll try to press hopefully onward,
Thinking often through each weary day,
The tolls of the road will seem nothing
When I get to the end of the way.-Selected.

of death when it hung over him, nor
the glow of renewed life when that
shadow was withdrawn.
He slept, but no longer quietly as
at first. An hours repose had snatch
ed from his elastic frame the weari-
ness with which many hours of toll
had burdened it. Now he stirred !;
now moved his lips without sound ;
now talked in an inward tone to the
MONDAY spectress of his dream. But
a noise of wheels came rattling loud
er and louder along the road until it
dashed through the midst of David's
slumber; and there was the stage
coach. He started up with all his
ideas about him.
"Halloo, driver. Take a passen-
ger" he shouted.

Up mounted David and he bowled
away merrily toward Boston, without
even as much as parting glance at
that fountain of dreamlike vicissi-
tudes. He knew not that phantom
of wealth had thrown a golden hue
upon its waters, nor that one of love
had sighed softly to their murmur,
nor that one of death had threatened
to crimson it with his blood all in
the brief hour since he lay down to
sleep.
Sleeping or waking we hear not
the airy footsteps of the strange
things that almost happen.

AS he walks the floor to hush my squall;
Come, list to the deeds that can do.

And bring my subjects at beck and cali
With cunning smile and soft embrace,
While into mischief I straightway crawl;

SELF POSSESSION is a vain
self-confidence which rushes unabash-
ed in every scene, and feels equal to
undertake whatever is presented.
This however is very different from
self-possession which comes from a
true estimate of our powers. He
who possesses himself in this latter
sense will be as careful to abstain
from what he is unable to perform as
to execute whatever rightly falls to
his lot. He will be modest ard un-
assuming as he is energetic and un-
finching, for he will know bis limita-
tions as well as he does his powers.
The best practical way of securing
this self-possession, where we feel
its lack, is IN continued practice.
There are certain things which every
one should be prepared to do, certain
scenes that every one should be ready
to enter, certain crises that every one
should be ready to meet. These none
of us must shrink from when they
come, but do our best every time,
resolutely calling to our aid all the
reason and good sense that we COM
mand. Each time we force ourselves
to this course, the task grows easier,
and at length we arrive at that con-
dition of calm assurance with regard
to our performance of them which
alone gives self-possession.

NEVER GIVE UP
AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and host of other ailments, for all of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
tice, shows Enthusiastically the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
LAYERS PILLS are invaluable to me- and
are my constant companion: l have been
a severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing l could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
have ever found. 1t is pleasure to me to
speak i'll their praise, and always do so
when occasion offers.

THE ATTEMPT TO SAVE
NIAGARA.

n al vi tuC p1O-
portions of Niagara constitute a pub
lie trust. The people cannot escape
responsibility for its care and preser-
walton, even if they would. The ex-
pertinent of private ownership and
management of the lands about the
Falls has been fully tried, under cir
cumstances more favorable than can
ever exist in the future, and has fail
ed completely. The existing state
of things is one which no intelligent
person can defend. The demoraliz-
alton is natural and inevitable; COM
petition between the owners of rival
"points of view" naturally develops
a tendency to the employment of taw-
dry, sensational attractions. The i'll
creasing ugliness everywhere; the
destruction of all vernal freshness
and beauty; the crowding of insight
ly structures for manufactures of va
rious kinds around the very brink of
the Falls; the incessant bounding of
travellers, and the enormous exactions
of which they are the victims, all
these evils are inseparable from the
system of private ownership of the
land, and nothing could be more idle
or fruitless than to find fault with in
dividuals because the results of the
system are dlsagreeable and mis-
chievous.
The only practicable remedy is
ownership by the State, and suitable,
permanent guardianship over these
lands, with such provision for the
safety, convenience and comfort of
myriads of visitors as can be supplied
only by competent directory clothed
with the authority of the State, and
acting in the interest of the general
community. This is the object of
the measures recommended by the
Commissioners appointed by Govern
or (now President) Cleveland in the
spring of 1888. These Commission
ers have selected about one hundred
and eighteen acres of land contiguous
to the Falls, comprising Goat Island
and all the other islands ia the river,
with a narrow strip of land on the
s'American shore" running from the
upper suspension bridge to Port Day,
and including Prospect Park. The
various separate portions constitut-
ing this tract have been appraised,
and the Supreme Court has confirmed
the appraisement, which fixes the val
ue of the lands in question at ST.
433, ,429.5O. The Commissioners
recommend the appropriation of these
lands, and the establishment of a
State Reservation, as the only means
of preserving the scenery of Niagara.
The highest interests of the people
of our State will be promoted by the
passage of the bill in which this plan
is embodied. There is no ground for
opposition except what is sordid, and
hostile to public spirit. No man in
public life will hereafter be able to
feel pride or satisfaction in the re-
membance that he resisted the en-
deavor of the people of the State of
New York to rescue the scenery of
Niagara from destruction.-Century.
