NOT A HAPPY THOUGHT.
The Trials and Trlbulattons OF q Societ,
Young Man.

The Trials and Trlbulattons OF q Society
Young Man.
While the society girl is subject of
80 much sympathy and commentin the
newspapers, it might not be amiss to
cast a kindly glance toward the young
society man. Unquestionably the sea-
son tells heavily upon debutantes, but
after they have been out for a year or
two they thrive upon fashionable life
in a way that is wonderful to see. The
leaders who set the pace in the lively
circles of New York society are with
out exception magnificent specimens of
robust and beautiful womanhood. They
have bright eyes aud clear skins; they
are quick of movement and apparently
happy. Although the years roll by,
many of the old leaders continue to
keep in the van. and the incessant
round of balls and parties has no other
effect upon them than to emphasize
their charms.
Meanwhile how about the society
man? Any one who casts a glance at
the vacuous, round-shouldered and
narrow-chested youths who block the
doorways at evening entertainments,
and drag themselves YEARLY through
their social PAGES by day, will see what
wear and tear society exercises upon
the system of the masculine portion of
the Four Hundred. The main trouble
with a society man is that he does not
get enough sleep. His sister goes to a
ball in a comfortable brougham, very
often after having taken a cosy and
healthful nap after dinner, and dances
until about two or three o'clock il the
morning with vivacity. The next
morning she sleeps snugly in her bed
until eleven or twelve o'clock. Tie
whole house is hushed that the beauty
of the family may indulge in her re-
pose, and after eight or uine hours of
healthful slumber she lounges around
in an easy wrap over breakfast, and
then goes to walk, ride or drive, pre-
cisely as an athlete would who is train
ing and building up his strength.
Her brother goes to the ball, dances
until three O'Clock, lights big cigar,
smokes it on his way homo, tumbles
into bed at a quarter to four, is reused
at eight, dresses hastily, aud runs
down town after hurriedly swallowing
mouthful of breakfast. All day long
he works with heavy head. and at
short intervals he builds up his failing
strength by visits to the nearest cafe,
At the end of five years, or even ut the
end of two, the difference between
brother and sister is wonderfully dis
tinct. Any body can observe the con-
trast who cares to look at society peo-
pie. Take any of the horseshoe curves
at the Metropolitan Opera House, for
instance, and observe the pallid,
wearied and languid men who sit be-
hind the radiant beauties that adorn
the boxes. 1t is picture of full sig
nificance.-Once Week.

With the passing away OF

of this country in bonds, an

er, and q thousand things 70
Keep tie active brain and ' il
ling hands and feet employ
ed; yet if the farmer wishes a
little recrpa ton, he can leave
his tools and labor and
spend a day Or two in the
woods with his gun, ora day
with his fishing rod on the
lakes and streams. 1t is not
so with the business man in
the city. HIS business must
go on. He can not shut his
door and walk out. II he
! takes a day off, he necess;ll.i-
ily has to put some one in his
place. Farm life is Il real en-
joyable one if well planned,
but it may be full OF misery
ii not managed with a vinN
OF making and mixing pleas
ure with bnsines,.. Farmers
do more hard wOrk than bus
mess men ana usually live
longer and harder. Farm Iii,
is made more t.! o!faii'chy tn
joy and happiness wpgpt out
of it. This business man has
his bills to meet every month
and is often luz ed to know
how to make ends meet. III
loses hours of precious sweet
sleep over embarras.nants
that stalk in his pathway,
while the contented farmer,
without tie fear of being clos
ed up by the sheriff takes his
rest. Farmers have bills to
meet, it is true, but they do
not come like rifle balls from
a Whitworth gun, every week
or two. The writer has try
ed farm life and loves it. He
has also tried the CONNER
cial world, where no allow
ances are madefor dry wealth
er, wet weather, short crops
or low prices. The CONNER
cial world has no sympathy
with the business man. The
day his bills fall due he is cX-
pected to meet them: ii he is
unable, his paper is liable to
go to protest and his busi.
ness to pieces. Those who are
doing well in agricultural
pursuits should let well en-
ough alone. The cities are
overcrow'led with ropula-
tion anHpoverty. The most
independent class OF people
in the world is that class that
have q good home on a good

Sweet is the pleasure
Itself can not spoil!
Is not true leisure
n on with true toll?
Thou that would taste it.
Still do thy best;
Use it, not waste it
Else It's no rest.
Would'st behold beauty
Near thee, all around?
Only hath duty
Such a gilt found.
Rest is not quitting
The busy career;
Rest is the fitting
OF self to it's sphere.
