How to Run a Universe.
Why Some Things Should not be sa
We'll as Others.

Mr.. Burdette remarks: "My son ,
there are just two things in this world
that don't know about, and you have
just asked me about one Of them.
| don't know why there is trouble and
sorrow and toll and poverty and sick
ness and death in this beautiful world.
| used to know when l was much
younger. but find that as grow old
er don't know d great deal more than
used to know. | don't know why
the best people seem to have all the
suffering and the great sinners have all
the fun. don't know why innocent
men suffer for the wickedneSs Of guilty
men. don't know why the man who
cast the faulty column in Pemberton
Mills wasn't crushed when the mills
went down. can't see why my neck
should he broken in railway accident
because tram dispatcher sends out a
wrong order or signal man goes TO
sleep. l don't see why my neighbor
should be cursed with ill health ard
suffering just because his grandfather
was rollicking, hard drinking old
proflgate. L don't see why l should
have neuralgia just when 1 want to
feel at my best. | don't know the
reason why some people s.arve while
worse people feast. Well, you say,
wouldn't it be pleasanter if all these
crooked things were Strengthened out =?
Yes, OH. yes! And wouldn't | run
things little better il had the rum
ming of them? Ye-e hold OH a min
ute-ye-I DON'T know, really, that |
want to Try. There are several things
TO consider, when you sit down to run
a universe. True, if managed things
could make several improvements at
once. l would never again have the
neuralgia, for one thing my boots
would not run oyer at. the heels like..a
ltalic d; my pantaloons would not work
up. nor bag at the knees, and my COL
lars would not climb the back OF my
neck, and my mustache wouldn't keep
waxed like brstle at one end and out
like satin ribOn at the other, and
but there are some things To look after.
The little matter of day and night L
think | might manage for week, may
be, but there would be an eclipse TO
look after, with occasional rain, some
snow, late spring or an early autumn
or capricious harvest time to manage;
there are certain movements of the sun
and other planets that have rather deli
cate relations with the earth-come TO
think of it, my boy | have never yet
been able to control my own personal
neuralgia. Now, you are very kind,
but l will most respectfully decline the
appointment. | find on looking into
the varied and trying duties connected
with the Office that my bodily and men,
tai strength would not stand the great
tax that would be laid upon them.
While | am in the heartiest accor d
with the Administration, and wish to
give it, and to the extent Of my poor a
bility do give it my most earnest sup
port and encouragement, yet much
prefer to do this in my capacity as a
private citizen"

Kentucky Race-EHOrses.

James Lane says in Harper's for Febru-
ary Forty years ago the most distin-
guished citizens of the State were engaged
in writing essays and prize papers on sci
entifc agriculture. A regular trotting
track was not to be found in the whole
country. Nothing was thought of the breed
ingand training Of horses with reference to
development of greater speed. Pacing
horses were fashionable; and two great
rivals in this seductive gait having been
brought together for n trial of speed, in
lieu of a track, paced a mighty race over
river-bottom fat! We have changed
all that. The gentlemen no longer write
their essays. The trotting horse will soon
undoubtedly, be ADMITTED to manhood
suffrage here, much as beef once won the
spurs of knighthood. He has already,
even without the right CT voting, been
styled the first citizen. The great agri.
| cultural fairs of the State have modified
their exhibits with reference to him alone,
and fifteen or twenty thousand people give
afternoon after afternoon TO the contempla
ton of his beauty and his speed. His one
| rival the thorough who goes ON run
ming faster and faster. By-and-by time
will be no more. One of the brief code
of nine laws for the government
of the young Kentucky common
wealth that were passed in the first legis
lative assembly ever held west of th,
Alleghanies dealt with the preservation
of the breed of horses. Nothing was saii
of education. The Kentuckian loves tn,
memory of Thomas Jefferson, not for
getting that he once ran race horses
These great interests, not overlooking
the cattle interest, the manufacture o
whisky, and the raising of tobacco
will no doubt constitute the future deter
mining factors in the history of thi
country.

The Quioer for February says II would
be we'll if all Christians would resolve to
be workers as well as givers of money.
The seed Of the Church and the age is the
practical contact of class with class therich
with the poor, the sufferer with the healthy
and strong. Jacob had vision in early
life (most have visions them, but Jacobs
ladder began with the ground, if its top
reached heaven. Let us begin with lowly
work. The fly works, and seems ever in
o hurry, but what he does is not very
manifest. The bee works quietly, and
for q very sweet end. To serve short
time and fill it is far better than long
and idle life. The minister was right

six years il he gave up work, but only
three years if he persisted in preaching"

years for my Master to fifty years Of leis-

not doing. Heart and will are generally
our only need for the accomplishment Of
most enterprises. Specially let us guard
our religious life from idle excuses. We
may not ride on deer to our businesses
and on tortoises or snails to our religious
dutie6.
