once a prosperous lumberman away
in the northwest, but he had fallen
into Incorporate habits of late.
How are you, asked I. g.?
Pretty we'll, thank you but | have
just been to doctor to get him to look

Why, what is the matter?
Well, the doctor could not give me
any encouragement, at least he could
not find what / wanted him to find
What did you expect him to find ?

for the saw mill and farm that had
gone down there.
And did he see nothing of them
No, but he advised me if ever had
another mill to run it by water.

load of wood that had been left in his

wind, lacking now and then, yet keep
ing straight on our course; how to
carry the enemy by flank movement
when we are unable to attack him in
front; to divide and conquer; to go
round the mountain when we can't 90
over it, remembering that the bale of
pail measures the same in a horizontal
as in vertical position; to wait
favoring moment when the pressure
lets up little, and then push our way
forward, all the time keeping our souls
in equipoise-that most difficult of all
keepings to learn. 1t comforts us to
know that nothing but what is common
happens to us, common in all ages and
to every people. 1t comforts us to see
now burdens nobly borne have been as
wings to lift others heavenward, and
We can but trust they will prove such
to us.
We may learn lessons of courage
and hope from ''calm and patient ma
ture," from the lives of great men who
have struggled with adversely, and
what great men and women have not?
and rest our hearts on Him who hold
eth the winds in His fists, and the sea
IN the hollow of His hand. When by
communion with great thoughts our
souls are filled with courage and scren-
ity and hope, we become insensible to
external pressures, balancing that with
out us by that within, If this relief is
denied US, we can then try and rise
above that which weighs us down;
there is always some way to escape SO
that we need not be crushed.
When the mariner sees a storm ap-
preaching he reefs his sails and puts out
to sea, where he will have plenty of
room. So we, when we see trouble on
the way to us, may often rob it of much
of its power to hurt us by holding our
selves in readiness to meet it fearlessly
and, if possible, to make it bear US on
our course. avoiding those reefs and
shadows on which we have found our
selves aforetime liable to be stranded.

whites, blacks and mulattoes mixed to-
gether as promiscuously as the varied

is complained that the negro men will
not work any more than absolute ne
cessity compels them to, and. when
they do, it takes three to do the task of
one. One of my daily recreations is
sitting on the piazza of the Princess
Hotel and watching the unloading of
cargo of ice from a brigantine from
Bath, Me. The work is in charge of
negroes. The vessel lies alongside the
ice-house on shore. and her deck is just
about on level with the ice house
door, but this does not prevent them
from rigging up a complicated ar
rangement by which every block of ice
of one hundred pounds weight must be
handled by eight men and horse. As
a rule, however, the habits of the col
ored people here leave little to find
fault with, They are unusually intel
ligent, respectful and polite to stran-
gers, orderly and temperate. Very few
of them possess the requisite property
qualification for voting for members of
the local council-three hundred dol
lars-but none are poor enough
to suffer. There is an utter abb
sence of the squalor and filth
that we are accustomed to associate
with poverty. The humblest negro

The negro boatman manages his craft
with GOODNESS and dexterity; he knows
every passage. nook, headland and
rock in the island; he knows the shaded
holes where angel-fish, hog-fish and
groapers abound, and the little reefs
and beaches where shells are to be
picked up after storm, and, if You
hunt up one of these African owners
of smart, trim little boat and tell him
you want to go fishing, you may trust
all the rest to him; he will take you on
a spanking little sail through wilder
ness of charming islets and along
wave-worn coral coasts to a secluded
fishing ground, where you are sure of

for it; and in the interval of the pastime
he will entertain you by telling you all
he knows and great deal he doesn't
know.-Cor. st. Louis Republican.
