SUCCESS IN LIFE.
It Can Only Be Achieved by Keeping the
 Conscience Clear.

Conscience Clear.
 Whoever believes that knavery, cruelty, hypocrisy or any other vice can, under any circumstances, pro- mote even the temporal happiness of him who practices it, is but superb cial observer and shallow reasoner. In the worlds parlance, men who ac- quire wealth and influence by unwar- rantable means are called prosperous. But what is prosperity in the true and legitimate sense of the word? Webster tells us: Advance or gain in any thing gOod." No man can be deemed truly prosperous whose conscience is ill at ease, and whoever enriches himself at the expense of justice, duty and honor, plunges his soul, even here, into state of diversity which no indulgence of the senses, no adulation of time-servers and parasites, nothing that money can buy or power command, will effectual- ly or permanently relieve.
 Another strong argument in favor of doing right is, that out of every hun dred men who seek wealth by dishon- orable roads, ninety-nine come to pow erty and shame This is a fact, and taken in combination with the other undeniable truth, that the small per- centage of aspiring knaves who win their game, feel in their souls that it has been dearly won at the sacrifice of inward peace and self-esteem, should long ago have made all the world hon est, on unselfish principles.
 The retrospective review of disap- pointed scamp must be melancholy in the extreme. He sees. of course. with terrible distinctness, how each depart ure from rectitude helped to cloud his life, sink him deeper in misery, and alienate him from the sympathies of the noble and the good. He is con- scious of the besotted blindness which led him to put his trust in cunning and chicane, instead of choosing the path of duty and leaving the consequences to Providence, and is compeled to ac- knowledge to himself that roguery is the twin of folly, and pure life the best evidence of sound brain as well as of Christian spirit.
 Be assured, therefore, that it is good worldly policy to keep the conscience clear. It tends to comfort, content, and produces real happiness; nor can this fair earth, and the excellent things with which it abounds, be thor oughly enjoyed by any Croesus to whose gold cling the curses of the wronged. The closing scenes of life are, however, the grand test of the wisdom or folly which has shaped it's course. Sir Walter Scott's dying words tell the whole story: Be a good man, Lockhart; nothing else will comfort you when you come to lie here. "-N. y. Ledger.

Electric CoaI-Mining Machine.

A new coal-mining company, which has patent for mining by electricity, will establish plant at Phillipsburg, Pa., for ths mining of an area of ten miles. The plant, as whole, is to consist of a central dynamo, conduct ing wires, coal-cutting machine, cleo tric lamps, and motor attachments for hanging the mining cars. The in- ventors claim, as an advantage in favor of the coal cutters, that single ma chine will not weigh more than five hundred pounds. According to esti- mates, which, it is claimed, are made upon actual tests, the new device will considerably reduce the expenses of mining, which has proved so costly with existing methods of transmitting and applying power by stea'p or com pressed air.-BOStoR Globe

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
AN OPEN SECRET.

What is it that gives to the plainest face The charm of the sweetest beauty? Not the thought ct the duty of happiness But the happiness of duty. This is Life's lesson, children dear, They are 0lest who learn it early. For it brightens the darkest day with cheer, Though Fortunes Iace be surly. There's a certain narrow, quiet path or daily thinking and living Of little deeds of sacrifice,
 Of loving and forgiving- Of patience and obedience,
 Of gentle speech and action, Of choosing the right and leaving t2e wrong With a sunny satisfaction; And if we never leave this path
 For the thing the world calls pleasure, There will come to meet us heavenly joy Beyond all power to measure. For on this narrow, quiet way.
 Gods angels move for ever, Waiting to crown with peace divine Our every high endeavor. Yes, this is what sheds on the lowliest life The glow of the sweetest beauty. Not the thought of the duty of happiness But the happiness Of duty!

AFTER HE WEDDING.

There's no hints of gloom in the pretty room' Where the flowers perfume still fragrant
 fingers,
 Where the musc's beat seems echoing sweer And faint and fleet as from fairy fingers But the two who sit. while the moments nlt- With never a bit of word or laughter, Keep listening still, as old folks will,
 For young voice ringing to roof and rafter. Oh, fair was the bride by her husbands side, In blushing pride and girlish gladness, But now she is gone and the hours lag on. With sense of loss, and a sense of sadness. And the firelight dear betrays tear,
 On the dear old cheek of the mother shining, Which the father spies, then fondly tries To sooth her sorrow and sad repining. 'Yes, Bessie is wed, and always said
 This day I'd dread on which another, Would steal her away, as I, one day,
 Stole that same little Bessie's motherF' Then smiles come fleet, and fond. and sweet And the old eyes meet by the fireside cozy, And the griefs and tears and fears of years. Flicker away in the firelight rosy

The First Rubber Shoes.

The first pair of rubber shoes ever seen in the United States were brought here in 1880. They were gilt, and were pointed like slip pers of a Chinese mandarin. The pair, which were handed about as curios- ity, we followfed in 1853 by an importation of 300 pairs which, rough and ill-shaped as they were, were eagerly bought at high prices; and from that time onward there was regular importation ot India-rubber shoes from South Amer ica of 5000 pairs per annum.- Shoe and Leatker ReUieD.

All about his clear notes ningng
Through the summer air
Throngs NJ oictng gathered around him,
Huile-d him as their king;
With his own bright flowers they crowned him
Planted ia his spring.
One sweet note, too softly uttered
For the eager crowd,
Family sounding pinions fiuttered

Straight TO me the blithe breeze brought IL,
Where stood apart;
