THE DUTIES OF LIFE.
Whatever They May Be. They Should b
Cheer:ully Performed.

Whatever They May Be. They Should Be
Cheer:ully Performed.
Every life has its purposes for being.
That these are not always fulfilled, only
argues the blindness and recreancy Of the
one who is content to exist, not live, In the
best sense Of the term. Not plant that
springs from the bosom Of the earth but
fulfilis some part in the design Of creation !;
and since this rule applies to the most insig-
niicant Of earth's objects, with what reason
or Denss can man hope to evade the uni
versai respon sibility? To merely exist is
not to live; it Is to cariesture and belittle
the very name Of life. To live is to be iiv-
ing, active force in the worlds destiny, and
whether ono be q great or humble factor in
what mis- time accomplishes, factor he
must be, il he would not trayesty the very
ldss Of living. All men are not endowed
with equal faculties; oil can not be flaming
lights Of honor upon the worlds highway; |;
each can, within the limitations which the
Creator has imposed, contribute to the IL
lumining Of the road. The tallow dip per-
forms its allotted part as thoroughly asud does
the lighthouse: either one could not pa sub
ststuted for the other, and IL the headland
beacon attracts moro attention than does
the feeble taper, 1t but fulfills Its mission,
which the other does equally well. All can
aot be beacons; all need not be humble
.apers; but whether fitted for beacon or
taper, there is part to be performed by
zach life, AND the fact Of real living or Of
merely daifying on. az existence is deter
mined by the performances. He eaiy lives
whose life means something accomplished
and something in process of accomplish
ment The life of the humblest blade Of
grass growing upon the hillside is nobler
than that Of the man whose days have been
purposeless. Farm and Fireside.

JOKING IN EARNEST.
How = Belgian Painter Hoodwinked I
Judges Of . Paris Salon.

How . Belgian Painter Hoodwinked the
Judges OF = Paris Salon.
The various professions have their own
records Of practical jokes. which too often
proceed from some serious or malicious
purpose. One such prank, undertaken
with vengeful design, was that of the Bel
gian painter, Wirtz, who, year after year,
sent pictures to the salon, only to have
them returned, for the judges, whose duty
it was to pass upon the pictures submitted,
would have nothing to do with him.
Finally, he became possessed of genu.
Inc Rubens, which he sent of to the salon
bearing his own name. It was at once sent
back to him, and then, as the phrase goes
he had the judges on tho hip, and could
taunt them with not knowing the work oi
master when they saw it.
Another such practical joke was played
upon the late Madame Rudersdorn by Sil
Michael Costa, the conductor. At re
hearsal one day the lady declared that she
could not sing her song as it was written
but must have it transposed half q note
lower.
"But, Madame" said Costa, "conside,
the inconvenience, especially to the wine
Instruments, and particularly as all my
men can not be counted upon to transposs
81 sight"
But madame was obdurate, and Costa
Struggling his shoulders, bowed in &C
quiesence.
every well, gentlemen" said he, turn
ing to the bewildered orchestra, and clos
ing his score. Tomorrow you will play 4
a note lower.h
The next day, however, just before
Madame Rudersdorff came on to sing
Costa whispered to the orchestra: "In thu
original key! No change" And SO it wa,
sung.
At the close Of the air, the singer turned
TO Costa and thanked him warmly.
81 am charmedW she said.
Madame" replied Costa, with q touct
Of pleasant irony, "tCs are also charmed
You sang it in the original key"
Had Madame Rudersdorff's ear been 81
unerringly correct as that Of certain
phenomenal musicians the joke coult
never have been successfully carried out
but the conductor, Of course, knew with
whom he had to deal.-Youth's Companion

HELPFULNEss OF WORK.

without Employment Life Would Bo One
Long Span Of WEAKNESS.
God put Adam in the garden Of Eden s'to
dress it and to keep it." Herein He recog-
nized, even in the earthly paradise, the uni
versai law Of fwork-employment for hand
and brain. Doubtless this law will prevail
even in the celestial paradise. Without en-
ployment eternal life would be eternal
WEAKNESS.
The late fearful disaster In the Cone
maugh valley left the survivors bereft of
homes, famihes, friends, property and hope.
When outside helpers organized the stricken
multitude and set them to work, reporters
for the press were struck with the immedi-
ate change for the better in look and tone
and bearing.
In any great calamity, whether impend-
Ing or already come, nothing is 50 helpful as
ergrossing employment. Men working at
the pumps to save, if possible, the sinking
ship, do not suffer In a tenth part as much
as those who stand gazing in the face of
death. No bloody encounter on the battle
6eld equals in horrible experience the posi-
ton of the line which must simply hold its
ground without returning the fire Of the
enemy.
Next to the abiect poor we may pity the
tnheritors of vast wealth, who are too often
without stimulus to exertion, and indeed are
often excluded from 1t by foolish social no
tons. Amusements form q sorry substi-
tute for actual employment for they soon
lose their power to please. The great mid
die class enjoys the blessed reaction of regu-
lar, adequate work, and their children are
to be pitied if their fathers industry dooms
them to a life of ldleness.
Many persons whose minds, for want of
| wholesome activity, have fallen into an un-
healthy state, have been saved from insan-
lty or suicide, through the calling out Of
their sympathies in behalf of others. Such
work is the more helpful in that it brings
into play the best part of ones nature, the
part most happy in its reflex influence.
Not a few successful men retire from
business at a comparatively early age to en-
Joy, as they term it, period of rest. Such
men generally make sad mistake. Their
enjoyment Is not half what it was before,
| and they are fortunate If the tendency Of
the brain to shrivel with years be not sad
fy hastened by the cessation Of its lifelong
activity.
John Quincy Adams kept at his post in
Congress to the last, not because of politi-
cal ambition nor on account Of pecuniary
need, but because he wished by working to
retain as long as possible his power to work.
Mr. Gladstone retains his extraordinary
working-power by using brain and arm.
No more cruel law, no law more opposed
to the great end of prison discipline, was
ever enacted in America than the one which
deprived convicts of opportunities for la
Dor. Death itself would be preferable to
the insanity, vice, disease and general de-
| terioration Of the whole man, physically,
| mentally and morally, which are the natural
| results of such deprivation Com
