Edison had not doubt but that this had

Never brave man at the best, and rem

was that still unexplained between the two

brought these dust-covered volumes from

Why Every Human Being Should Find
Something to Do.

Something to Do.
1t was a noble maxim Of Prescott, "a
man must find something to do.n To laugh,
luxuriate and enjoy does not fulfill the con-
diti0ns Of mans existence he must do
II something to do y IL not forced upon
him, he must ''.fidr it He sDnst findr
it; the necessity is absolute. As surely as
a tub will fall to pieces, if not filed with
water, or a blade lose its bright surface
and keen edge II exposed without use, or q
steam-boiler explode unless duly vented, so
surely will the faculties decay, and the very
substance of true maniiness be beaten out,
if one has nothing to do.
Prescott inherited fortune so ample that
the expenditure Of thousand dollars
month passed with him for pretty strict
economy. 'sSomething to do'' was not
necessary to him to satisfy the wants Of his
lower nature. Food, residence, pleasures of
all kinds were within his reach without
doia1 any thing. He might have lived in a
fine house and worn fine clothes without
any kind Of labor. He nigh. even have won
a certain sort of distinction, like the young
Boston simpleton who is said to have eaten
a ono hundred dollar bill on piece of bread
and butter, to win a wager with another
simpleton as to who should make the most
expensive breakfast. But Prescott had no
taste for the pleasures and no aspiration
after the notoriety Of rous 1t was neces-
sary for him to find something to do which
would employ his faculties, satisfy his sense
of right, and fulfill his debt to his country
and to mankind as became good citizen and
good man.
Many Of our young countrymen are in
the same condition with Prescott when his

"rRoM DREAMS TO WAKING"

Ingot was not found. Watching his op-
portunity, he was off the very moment the
clerks back was turned.
He was far too sharp to try to get away
by one of the outgoing trains. He had
dropped his light overcoat in the seat be-
side Carol after taking the tickets, and as
he sauntered through the crowd, be wound
alarge muller about his face like one who
suffers from toothache, and replaced his
hat by a knit jersey cap, which he drew
from his pocket, dropping the hat unper-
ceived further ON, and in the slight disguise
of his changed appearance, he had passed
close by the party, who, piloted by the
clerk, were at that moment turning into
the waitingrooms in search of him.
1t required some nerve to walk slowly
away when he reached the street, but In
got did it, and made good his escape,
while Uncle Amos and the police sergeant
were sending messages TO have train
which had just pulled out searched at its
first stopping-place, and Norris was reas-
suring the startled girl whose heart
throbbed with strange mingling of emo
tions as she began to realize what all this
meant.
Joy that the fulfillmento of her promise
could not now be required by Ingot; fear
lest Lyman might be threatened by the dis
covery from which the other was flying;
relief at having the place Of that distaste-
full lover filled by one who was no less a
lover, though his eyes, not his lips, told OF
the tenderness stirring. But anxiety for
her brother was uppermost.

The sole significance Of the Maine elec-
tion is in the demonstration 1t affords that
the voters are not frightened by the tariff
scare nor the British bugaboo.
The Republicans gained but col over the

The meaning of this is that the ''scare"
didn't work-the bugaboo didn't frighten.
The voters Of Maine are familiar with
both these "rackets," and familiarity has
bred contempt. The people remember that
four years ago Mr.. Blaine predicted ruin
to business and starvation wages for labor
as the consequence of his defeat. And
