The True Aim of Literary Culture.
The American Magazine.

It is certainly true aim of literary culture to render it's forms for ex- pressing thought so transparent that they will be quite lost to view in the thought itself. And yet, the writer and the speaker who are so skilled in the arts of expression as to surprise the mind into wonder or admiration, by unexpected views of things true and beautiful, after long concealment of his purpose, is the one most likely to win the greatest praise from us. We may be beguiled into undue sym- pathy with that purpose by the very art which for time conceals it from full view.
 It was the art of the poet skilled in the methods of nature, which, by the tongue of Nark Antony wrough successfully upon the passions of the Roman populace, before the dead body of Cesar. Both art and philosohy were defiled when the hired rhetori- clan and the sophist taught their pupils how ito make the worse ap- pear the better reason." This brings into view some phases of literary work now quite prevalent.

the $500 or @400" came in, and Hart at once made his acquaintance.
 The second stranger said to Hart in an undertone:
 "The fellow Pm going to play with has several hundred dollars which l am after, and will keep you staked if you will play with us"
 The three- handed game was soon under way, and the two strangers played for each other for all they were worth. Hart always went out when they both stayed in.
 Each of the strangers, when they played against Hart, allowed him to win the pot without showing their hands. This thing kept up all night, Hart keeping his pile of money out of sight. Seven o'clock next morning both of the strangers were nearly broke and stopped playing. Hart had nearly $1 ,000 in his pockets. A long time atterward he told the story.
 A FORTUNE FROM A BUTTON.
 About fifteen years ago there were a large number of gambling saloons in Mobile, where keno, roulette and faro were played every night.
 A young man, who is now a mer- chant in Memphis, Tenn, was almost insane about devising some scheme to break the roulette at gambling sa- loon which was backed up by thou sands of dollars. He had been left some property by his father, and he had sold it piece by piece to secure funds with which to play roulette.
 One night, while betting on the red and black numbers as usual, he lost all the money he had with him. Feeling around in his pockets, his hand touched 8 coin about the size of a quarter, and he called out quickly, just as the wheel was about to stop:
 "Twenty-five cents on number eight, black"
 The wheel stopped with the marble on eight, black, before the young man could get his money out. The banker, knowing he was good customer, paid the bet, giving him two dollars.
 The young man bet one dollar on another number and won. He bet again, and again won, and he continued to win for hours and hours until he had $6 900 or $7,oo0,and the bank suspended.
 The young man carried the money home, and in his room searched his pockets for the quarter that had brought him so much money, saying he would keep it for luck piece.
 He found the coin and took it out it was brass button.

From Birth to the Grave

We carry with us certain physical traits, as we do certain mental charac- teristics. Insomuch that psycholo- gists have striven to designate by generic titles certain temperaments- as the bilious, the nervous, the lynn phatic. The individual with a sallow complexion is set down as bilious. often rightly 30. If the saffron in the hue of his skin is traceable to bile in the blood, its presence in the wrong place instead ot the liver, will also be evinced by fur on the tongue, pain beneath the right ribs and through the right shoulder blade, sick headache, constipation, flatulence and indiges- tion. For the relief of this very com mon, but not essentially perilous com- plaint, there is no moro genial and thorough remedy than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is also Q beneficent tonic and strength pro- moter, and a widely esteemed remedy for and preventive of fever and ague, rheumatism, kidney and bladder troubles.

Taught Nothing at Home.
 Boston Home Journal.

am told by one who is interested in the welfare of girls who earn their living "at the mercy of the worldH that out of every one hundred girls there are not ten who can sew on a button straight or help themselves in any way. 1 was talking with a wo- man who knows young girls well, and much ot whose life has been passed in teaching in the public schools, yester- day, and she assured me that she did not doubt the truth of that statement.
 "You would be surprised" !" she said, eff you saw girls as I have seen them, to find how little they are taught at home. Mothers who have worked hard seem determined that their girls shall not. Mothers who are the wives of laboriDg men spare their daughters the learning of the simplest sort of sewing. They send them to school. They give them useless courses of geometry and trigonometry, and the only course of sewing they get is the youthful training in the lower classes at the grammar school, where one hour each week is devoted to such work"
 l 1quite agree with my friend. Girls ot whatever station should be taught to help themselves. Why should they not be as able to make clothes as to entertain? Surely the one may be of infinite service when the other is past use. More than that, any girl who can help herself and is proud enough to do it in an emergency is safe in the world.
