Letters of Recommendation.

"Letters of recommendation in this age of the world," said member to the corner coterie," do not go very far with business man. Your average business man goes a good deal, in the present day, on his own ability to size up an applicant It is bit of vanity on his part that he likes to indulge in A mere letter of introduction is good enough ill its way, but even that has had it's day and doesn't count as it used to. have two cases in my mind now as examples of what have been talking about.
 ':One came to Chicago with letters from H. B. Claflin and from several bankers, and he has gone over the town from one end of it to the other, and lie can't even get a com mon, every day clerkship. The other man came from New York with his family, bring ing his furniture. He had nothing in pros pect, but in Jess than twenty-four hours he had place in one of the biggest concerns or Wabash avenue. He had no letters and no one to introduce him. He had the way and the determination, and the latter is the main spring. g."-Chicago Mail

TIE CHILD IN TIE MIDST.

There stood a tiny convent, So olden legends run, In green and fertile meadow Of which, when day was done, The children made playground, And.frolicked in the sun. But the old monks spoke complaining ''They drive all thought away, In the woods the birds keep singing Throughout the live-long day, And the laughter of the children Disturbs us when we pray" Then spake the kind old abbot ''The woodland music sweet, The sound of little voices,
 And the tramp of childish feet, Are surely sent to gladden.
 And hallow our retreat, ''They bring with them blessing, These happy guileless things; When I catch the children's laughter, Or when some small bird sings, I think upon the angels
 And hear their rust ing wings. ''For myself I love the children" The abbot said and smiled. "Amid world of evil
 They as yet walk undetiled, A likeness of the Saviour
 Who for us became a Child. II love to watch them fitting
 To and fro among the trees, And to feel their clasping fingers As they cling about my knees. And they who enter Heaven
 Must be even such as these. ''They have taught me many a lesson For their pure and earnest eyes Read many n myst'ry hidden
 From the world-worn and the wise, For they were lately walking
 In the fields of Paradise. "He who suffered little children Loves and watches OCT them still In the green and pleasant meadows They are safe from every il Should we drive them hence, my brethren Are we sure we do His will: "Our eyes are often holden,
 Our faith is often dim, Then bethink you we'll my brothers, Lest thro' any foolish whim In turning from the children
 We also turn flom Him." Then the brothers all made answer AS each sought his silent eel ''In the green and fertile pastures
 Christ's lambs shall surely dwell. They are welcome, Father Abbot.
 For we see thou speakest we'll" So the song birds sang and mated
 Beside the convent gray, And the old monks watched the children, And smiled upon thelr play, Then found a double blessing
 As they knelt to praise and pray. And the convent grew and hourlshed As a house of holy rest, And with many heavenly vision
 Was the saintly abbot llest, For the Lord who loved children
 Tarried always as his guest. -Christian Burke, in Moy Wide A"d|e.

Not Contented, but Aspirinp

"Contentment is better than riches" That
sounds like the despairing wall of disap-
pointed man. 1t is a patent medicine, in
tended for those who have tried for success
and have failed. 1t is warranted to have
the same soothing effect that the conclusion
about the grapes had on the fox. If taken in
sufficiently large doses it will make man a
helpless nonentity. 1t is narcotic that does
more harm than good 1t puts to sleep the
very ones who need waking. The fact is,
contentment is satisfied laziness. Those who
better themselves and get the grapes do not
think they are sour. A true man is not
necessarily discontented, but he is ever as
piring. He would do more-be more-get
more. He does not care for absolute con-
tentment The utmost he will admit is that
contentment, with riches, is better than
without them.-Walter Gregory in North
American Review.

THE Wandering Boy."

The strawberry season is approach
ing, and we may soon hear you inquire
anxiously, Where is my wandering
boy tO-night?" Then will we answer {:
May be in somebody else's strawberry
patch, to help himself to the fruit
which you have failed to provide for
him, and to which he is entitled.
When it comes summer, we NAV have
to listen to the old story once more :
Where is my wandering bow to-
night ?" while the poor boy is quietly
enjoying the musk and water melon in
your neighbOr's garden, provided he
can find the ripe ones, as he is raising
them in the dark of the moon.
We suspect that you will continue
to ask, sometimes with considerable
anxiety: "Where is my wandering
boy tO-night?", until YOU come to a
better understanding of your plainest
duties, and begin to provide your boy
and the rest of the family-with the
fruit that his appetite Graves, and that
he must and aOiU have, even should he
be obliged to steal it.-Orchard and
Garden for april 1888.

committed; and after all l believe he
was right, for in the trial it was devel-
opedi that the young mans life would
not bear close scrutiny. He had for
many months been squandering his in
come, and had he not been detected in
his crooked ways worse fate than
that meted out by justice would surely
have Overtaken him.
You understand now what recon-
pense l received for my labor, and how
my etfors to give pleasure to the little
English mutes proved benediction to
myself. For, Notwithstanding Wilder's
denlals, am fully convinced that moth
ing but having learned to talk with nv
fingers saved my life that terrible night.
Bread cast upon the waters may be

1t is said the Pope has issued a de-
cree condemning bOycotting and deeds
of violence, and it is interesting to
watch how it will be received in Ire
land. The boycott is the Irishman's
tavorite and the most available weap-
on in resisting the exactions of Eng
lish landlords and their sympathizers.
while on the other hand the loyalty of
the Catholic Irish to their church has
never been questioned. Still, within
the past few years, since the troubles
have been exciting in Ireland, there
has been a most decided disposition
manifested against allowing clerical in
reference in their political affairs.

'How to Eat in the Spring." is the
title of a astronomical article in the

Salary Paid a Chef.

The price that it has been averred Joseph
demanded of Mr.. Vanderbilt, $1,000 year,
is preposterous. If Joseph were reality
such a salary for a cEef in private house,
especially a house like Mr.. Vanderbilt's,
where there are few grand dinners, would be
ridiculous. Probably the sum was francs,
and not dollars, which would be on a par
with the salary Mr.. Vanderbilt has paid be-
fore for the same services.
There are a few cooks in private houses in
New York who receive more than 5000
francs, but not many. The chef at Delmoni-
co.'s has long been credited with $1,000, but
his work is tenfold that Of a private cook.
He has a score Of cooks to manage.-New

A French physician mentions curl
Gus case of left-handedness. One child
in a certain family was left-handed.
and a second appeared at the age of
one year to be left-handed. 1t was
then learned that the mother always
carried her child on her left arm. She
was advised to carry the child on her
right. The infant, having its right
arm free, began to grasp objects with it
and soon became right-handed.
