Luck Ya ERprl.

A king in the East said to bis
minister one day as they were con-
versing over something,-
DO you believe in luckgn
II do" said the minister.
"Can you prove itg" said the king
"Yes, can, said the minister
So one night he tied to the ceiling
of room parcel containing peas
mixed with diamonds, and let in two
men, one of whom believed ia luck,
the other in human effort alone. The
former quietly laid himself down tbe
latter. after series of efforts, reached
the parcel. and feeling in the dark the
peas and the stones, ate the former
one by one. and threw down the lat.
ter to bis companion, saying,
Here are the stones for your idle
ness"
The man below received them ID
his blanket.
In the morning the king and the
minister came to the room and bade
each to take TO himself what be bad
got. The man of effort found be
had nothing beyond the peas be bad
eaten, the man of luck walked quietly
away with the diamonds. The
minister said to the king.-
Sire, there is such thing as luck;
bu t it 10 as rare as peas mixed with
diamonds. So | would say, LET
none hope to live by luck"

wha. is the Rlghs Thing TO Dor

The idea of marriage as the object OF
iite--an end for which girls are 10 be
traincd-appears often 10 be the very
stnmbling-block in the way. If they arc
allowed to grow up thinking Of mar
riago only rs possibility. as an Incl
dent in their lives which may or may
not happen, win they not be better pre-
pared for whatever fortune has IN store
for themg Freed from that anxiety
about their future which characterizcs
many young women now unconsciously
influenced by tho popular idea that mar
riage is the only suitable destiny of wo-
man. there would seem to be a chance
that they might be trained to be happy,
whether they were married or single.
While acknowledging that a well-as-
sorted marriage is without doubt the
truest and best life for both man and
woman, can it be denied that an un-
happy union is the greatest of sorrows
in woman's life. to say nothing OF the
train Of evils which ii brings upon
others! If this idea that marriage Is the
great object-thc necessity Of woman'a q
life-could be removed, there would cer~
tainly be more suitable and fortunate
unions and fewer Of the hasty, ill-cop.
sidered, unwise ones. So long as tive,
people who know little of each Others
present character, tastes and habits. and
nothing of each others antecedents win
rashly Join themselves for life after an
acquaintance of few weeks, so long
must we look for the horrors of the
newspapers, the scandals of the divorce
courts and the lifelong martyrdom Of
those who bear the ills that they cannot
fly from. II girls did not iearn from
those about them, from much of their
reading, from the very atmosphere Of
society that they were expected to mar
~ somebody, they would hardly deem it
possible to take such risk as that of
marriage without due consideration.
They would wait for tho certainty that
it was the right thing to do, and that the
right persons for them had appeared.
Let them feel that the end and aim os
their lives is to be fit to be Donae1s and
to fill their places rs such in the worll
that SO much needs both good women
and good mon, and there is no fear that
they will not be quite equal to the sitn~-
ton, if they find it best for their hal !
ness to marry. Henrietta DaUss, sn

The Women of switzerland.


Henry Watterson in Courier-Journal:
The stranger in Switzerland will be
struck at once by the beauty of the
country and the ugliness of the
women. Here nature seems to have
spent herself upon inanimate objects
and to have had no material left for
humanity, which she composed out of
the debris left over after she had con-
structed the mise en- scene. A pretty
face, native to the manner born, is
rarely. if ever. seen upon the streets of
Berne.
The women appear to do all the
work. 1t is not unusual to see girl
and dog hitched to a cart and
trotting along together like a pair of
ponies. The men. great strapping
fellows. idle and lazy, loaf about the
brasseries. Their wives, daughters,
aud sisters till the fields and supply
the markets. The dog, the goat, and
the COW perform the offices commonly
performed in other lands by the horse,
the OK, and the mule. The bear is a
sacred animal. So is the lion. Tho
donkey does fancy duty at the summer
resorts, But there is nothing to which
the Swiss woman may not turn her
hand, from milking q goat to saving
cord of wood and drawing load Of
hay. She is put to work in her child
hood, and before she reaches her ma
turity she looks like grandmother,
wrinkled and weather-beaten, bent
and careworn. The circumstance,
which appears at every turning is
written upon each countenance,
leaves q painful impression and dis
credits the national character. A
people SO independent and SO brave,
SO unaffected and so frugal as the
Swiss are admitted to be, ought to be
gentler.

Queer Ears of Corn.

Cuthbert (Ga.) Appeal: We were
shown Tuesday quite a curiosity from
the farm of Mr.. John D. Miller, near
town. 1t was a cluster of forty or more
small ears of corn, each about as long
and large around as the middle finger
OF mans hand; and coming out Of
the stalk where the tassel should have
been. No shuck protected the corn,
but instead a heavy silk about two feet
long fell off in graceful manner, the
whole supported by an ordina1y-sized
stalk, partially matured. This unus-
ual freak of Nine. Ceres attracted con-
siderable attention, and will doubt
less be preserved by Mr.. Miller as a
curiosity worthy to be handed round
at the different State fairs until
ecliPsed by some more ambitious ag-
riculturist.
Calhoun (Ga.) Times: Ralph
Hughy showed us an ear of corn last
Saturday which was the exact shape
OF mans hand. Four fingers were
plainly shown, and the thumb stood off
to itself. 1t came from garden patch,
and was in the roasting-ear state.2
