BETTER THINGS.
BY GEORGE MACDONALD, LII. D.

Better to smell the violet cool than sip the glow

Better the love Of gentle heart than beauty

Better the roses living seed than roses i'll a

Better to love in loneliness than to bask in love
all day:
Better the fountain in the heart than the tount-
ain by the way.
Better be fed by mothers hand than eat alone
at will;
Better to trust in God than say; my goods
my storehouee fill"
Better to be little wise than in knowledge to
abound;
Better to teach child than toll to fill perfec-
tion'e round.
Better to sit at masters feet than thrill lis
tening state;
Better suspect that thou art proud than be sure
that thou art great.
Better to walk the realm unseen than watch the

Better The "Well done!" at the last than the air

Better to have q quiet gres than hurrylng &C.

Better the twilight of the dawn than the noon

Better q death when work is done than earth

Better a child in Gods great house than the

A New Profit-sharing Plan.
from the Boston Transcript


The pro6t-sharing plan, which a
leading shoe manufacturer at Auburn,
Me-, has presented to his employees,
has one feature that bears the looks
OF originality. In order that the work
men shall be fully satisfied that the
accounts are truthfully kept, three OF
the employees will be taken into the
confidence of the firm and made &C.
quainted with all it's doings. It is
stipulated, however, that these repre-
sentatives OF the workmen shall be cit.
liens Of Auburn. and that at least two
Of them shall be owners of real estate
there. The probable reason for this
condition Is that, as q rule, an owner
Of real estate is of conservative ten
denotes, and, if a working man, is more
likely to remain in q town than is one
who abides in hired house. The
management of the business will re-
main with the firm, and the employees
arenot asked to invest any of their saw
ings in the enterprise Or take any risks
or make any guarantees. Should the
scheme prove satisfactory on q years
trial the establishment may be made
over to q corporation, shares in which
may be bought by the workmen. The
head of the concern makes no pretense
to philanthrophy in this matter, but
submits it entirely as a'business prof.

He Purchased Some Co-ze-ta.
From the New York telegram


A small, dark-haired man, wearing a
SLOUGH Texas hat and speaking with a
foreign accent, entered the Office of a
shrewd downtown merchant yester-
day. Reckoning to him with a mystic
rious look upon his face, the stranger
went to a corner, produced package
and laid it on the corner.
The merchant went over to his visit
or, who laying his finger on his nose to
insure secrecy, told him in an under
tone that he was sent there by one OF
the merchant 8 friends for the purpose
of presenting him with a cotton pad
containing the seed of the Co-ze-ta
plant, which grows only in Texas, and
that by laying the pad on glass filled
with water the Co-ze.ta would grow
out and the leaves at night would
have g. phosphoric luster. The stran-
ger added that he only wanted his car
fare and that ne was goingnext day to
England. The merchant, who has a
private museum in which he takes
great pride, gladly welcomed this addi-
ton to it, and handed the stranger 50
for the prize. He opened the package
this morning, in the presence OF his
wife, and found q cotton pad contain
ing some good specimens of Western
oats. The language with which he
apostrophised the stranger was fla
vored with Scriptural expressions.

A Wreck.

IT. c. Crawford in New York World
Butler is not the only type OF New
YORK journalist who has come down
into the gutter in Washington. There
ia an associate of his now In Washing
ton who fifteen years ago occupied q
prominent position In New York lourn-
alism, He was a. brilliant writer and
more thoroughly conversant with the
affairs OF the city of New York than
any journalist of his time he had
begun to make his mark also IN the
magazines. Az q correspondent or
news gatherer few were his equals. At
the Philadelphia convention which
nominated Grant and Wilson he was
at the head of q formidable staff OF
correspondents. He had asulte OF SIX
rooms at one of the principal hotels
and was the intimate and confidential
adviser of the leading Republican poll
Uicians of that time. He was so strong
in his position that when the editor OF
his paper CHANGED to be in Philadel-
phia during the convention he begged
his chief correspondent IN vain for one
of his rooms. and had to content HIM
self with being put away in some for
lorn attic. This very prominent and
high grade newspaper writer Is to-day
an object of distress and disgust. He
has lost all semblance of manhood
and all capacity for any kind of work.
He is dirty, ragged and forlorn. He
walks the streets of Washington with
little faded shallow-crCwned derby
slouched over his red face, scuffiing
along with g. listless, l.feless, dragging
step in his sober moments, and sagging
in every form of drunken line when
fortunate enough to obtain money to
satisfy his appetite. He is not noisy.
He is quiet, and rarely speaks to any
one. He begs of public men whom he
used to know in husky whispers for
small sums, and with these small sums
he appears to be ablefo keep himself
alive and to get what liquor his appe-
tite Graves. 1t is. strange thing about
this drunkard that he never has any
companion. Ia this heresembles But
Ter. Daring the last four or five years
of Buffers life he rarely, il ever, was
seen with any one. Butler evidently
never could find any one who was SO
much of a drunkard as he. This 9th
er decayed New York journalist d inks
alone and lives alone Where he sleeps
no one knows. He used to haunt the
Washington office OF the paper with
which he was once connected, and if it
could have been permitted would have
used the hallway OF this office for his
sleeping-room. In the summer time
he sleeps in the park. The policemen
all know him and rarely arrest him.

Violin Anecdotes.
From the Philadelphia News.l

From the Philadelphia News.
A curious anecdote Is related OF q
violin maker so skillful In his trade
that he could initiate an old vic lin to
perfection. One day a fiddler, more
eminent than honest, brought him q
fine Cremona and said with sly twin
kle in his eye, ST want you to make
me an exact copy of this Amati."
The maker knew to whom the fiddle
belonged, and guessing the object,
promised to have 1T ready IN two
months. At the end of that time the
player returned, paid the price andre
ceived the two violins, but when he
got home and examined them closely
he found that both were counterfelts,
the clever imitator having kept the
true Amati for himself.
A few years ago at an auction sale IN
Dresden one of the objects sold was
the famous violin which the Count
Frautmansdorf, grand equerry TO the
Emperor Charles VI, bought from the
celebrated maker, Stainer, on the fol-
lowing conditions. He paid cash So
golden caroluses, undertook to supply
him as long as he lived with a good
dinner every day, 100 forms in specie
every month, q pew suit of clothes
with gold trays every year, as well as
two casks of beer. lodging, lighting and
firing; and further, If he should choose
to marry, as many hares as he should
want, with two baskets OF fruit an
nually for himself ard as many more
for his old nurse. AS Stalner lived
sixteen years after making this extra
ordinary sale, the violin must have
