The .sBabY" of the Cabinet.

AttorneyGeneral Miller looks
like man who reads much. He
is d mild-mannered man, a very
entertaining talker, and he only
speaks after deliberatlon. He said
in recounting the members of the
Cabinet: "You know Pm the baby
of the Cabinet" He is a sparely
built man, with high, broad fore
head and sunken eyes. He wears
a closely cropped full brown beard,
which is tinged with gray. He
dresses very plainly. He dimes
every evening at the Riggs House,
Washington, and after dinner sits
in the lobby of the hotel for an
hour or two entirely alone and
watches the office-seekers who
come and GO.

became larger in blotehes, and more and more

strong iiniments, etc. Finally, called other
physicians, until less than six had attempted to
cure him, all alike failing, and the child steadily
getting worse and worse, until about the Goth of

he was so nearly well that We gave him only one

why Every Human Being Should Find

why Every Human Being Should Find
Something to DO.
1t was a noble maxim of Prescott, "a
man must find someth ng to do" To laugh,
luxuriate and enjoy does not fulfill the con-
ditions of mans existence he must do
If - something to do ~ Is not forced upon
him, he must ''fed" it He s'must find"
it; the necessity is absolute As surely as
tub will fall to pieces, if not filed with
water, or blade lose its bright surface
and keen edge if exposed without e, or .
steam-boiler explode unless duly vented, 80
surely will the faculties decay, and the very
substance Of true maniiness be beaten out,
If one has nothing to do.
Prescott inherited fortune so ample that
the expenditure of thousand dollars Q
month passed with him for pretty strict
economy. Something to do'' was not
necessary to him to satisfy the wants of his
lower nature. Food, residence, pleasures Of
all kinds were within his reach without
doitsT any thing He might have lived In o
fine house and worn fine clothes without
any kind of labor. He nigh. even have won
q certain sort of distinction, like the young
Boston sirnplston who is said to have eaten
q one hundred dollar bin on a piece of bread
and butter, to win a wager with another
simpleton as to who should make the most
expensive breakfast. But Prescott had no
taste for the pleasures and no aspiration
after the notoriety of a roue. 1t was neces-
sary for him to find something to do which
would employ his faculties, satisfy his sense
Of right, and fnlGll his debt to his country
and to mankind as became a good citizen and
Q good man.
Many OF our young countrymen are in
the same condition with Prescott when his
strong soul and lofty purpose expressed it
self in the above maxim. The increasing
opulence of our country is rapidly multiply
ing the number of young men who come by
Inheritance into the possession of indspend-
ent fortune. They having nothing to do, as
far as the necessities of subsistence are
concerned. But they must find something
20 do, or be contemplate and miserable.
Independent of toll for the mere supply
Of their bodily wants, they are Just as de-
