Some people call him A. W. Marble,

Of trade. and many Of his clever sayings
still live In the comic history Of that

period Of his connection with the board
he wa In tho Office Of John r. Bensley,
an ex-president Of the body. Marble
was a sharp trader and q valuable man
In any office, but business had been very
dull for some time and he came to the
conclusion that In the course Of a short
time his head would fall In the basket
with others, TO curtAil expensea So he

WINGED Of sin. these three railways, let us
say, came together and determined to
make a single rate to Chicago for all
business received by each Of the three
lines; these receipts to be pooled and
divided. Even had they proceeded upon
y basis Of the single actual receipts to
each for solicited business, there could
be no difference to the public either

tariff divided upon the items Of exPendi-

A rumor IL current In Athens. Ca, to

Ave years ago an old gentleman buried a

rock and has since died. and when a man
passes that way his ghost appears and
drives him Of. Parties passing near the
place have been run more than a mile

when they come near the place, even
though Il be q perfectly still day. a noise
can be heard Ike a terrible cyclone. and
the tall pines which surround the
rock begin to bow and many Of them fall
to the ground. One Sunday two gentle
men from Athens. who heard the rumors
and doubted them, visited the rock with
tho intention Of proving the reports TO be
false. but they did not stop long. They
climbed TO the top OF the rock, when

VALUE OF THE PAST.
How It's Influence Is Indelibly Stamped
ON the Present.


How It's Influence Is Indelibly Stamped
on the Present.
The power of the past over every
instant of the present is so subtle in its
operation that it tells in the most in
significant acts. One of my friends,
who has had much experience in
tuition, tells me that he knows imme-
diately, without asking questions.
whether young man has had a CLASH
cal education or not. A close observer
might possibly guess from the slightest
movements if a young man had been
accustomed TO athletic exercises.
In all the arts there are momentary
difficulties that only the most dexterous
can fully overcome. In other words,
the labor of years is concentrated in
the skill of moment, the extensive
past operating with all its accumulated
force upon the narrow present. On
witnessing these momentary displays
of skill that is almost incomprehensi-
BILE thoughtful person is chiefly i'm
pressed by that marvellous law Of
nature which makes years of previous
labor available all at once.
The great difficulty in employing the
present we'll is that the use of it must
form part of some consistent scheme
or well devised arrangement of life.
There is no satisfactory present that
is not firmly rooted in the past. 1t is
the sense of this great need of the
past which drives people who have no
steady pursuits to perpetual waste Of
time. They feel that desultory efforts
are useless, and they can not determine
to undertake those that might be effect
ual and continuous. Hence the great
advantage in the trades and profess
sions, that they insure continuity; they
keep the cobbler to his last. the painter
to his palette. 1t is thus, in the ar
rangements of nature, that the present
is made so valuable, that men are. on
the whole, so wonderfully efficient now
when we want their services, and do
not put us off with promises of future
utility. This is the one admirable re-
suit, that civilization helps us now
that the telegraph is ready to take our
message and the steamer ready to
start, and the fire engine ready to stop
the conAagration. The increased ex-
perience Of the human race is leading
it more and more to appreciate the
Importance of the present, and to look
