Fortified Song.

Some smart Alexis in Harlem un-
dertook to have run with a young
man whose hair was full of hayseed.
The young men had been telling sto-
ries to which he was an attentive
listener. One of them created yarn
about a petrified man which was sup
posed to be the prize tale. Hayseed
pricked up his ears and came down
the homestretch in the following gait:
THAT'S nothing" lie said. In my
part of the country some men were
digging away down in the ground.
Suddenly they came across n petri-
fed tree which . petrified man had
been chopping at. All at once pet
ritied bird came along and lit on a
limb of the tree and commenced to
sing, and it sung petritied song"
That settled it. Tho smart Alexis
walked away and let him alone.

AQuarrel Of Giants.

An amusing story concerning
Prince Bismarck and the late Field
Marshal Won Wrangel is now current
at Berlin. In 1864, during the war
with Denmark, old Wrangpl was in
command of the allied Prussian and
Austrian forces There was at one
moment some fear at Berlin that the
western powers might object to the
allied troops entering Jutland, in
consequence OF which telegram was
sent to the field.marshal, bidding
him advance no further. Wrangel
thereupon wired back to the Emperor
William that "these diplomatists,
who spoil the most successful opera
tons, deserve the gallows." Bis
marck took care to ignore Wrangel's
presence whenever he met him on
later occasions, which could not fail
to annoy him. One day, however,
they met at dinner. having both been
invited to the Kings table. 1t was
a popularity OF Wrangel that he al
ways called everybody "du,' or
chou; and, turning to Bismarck,
who was seated next to him, he said:
"My son, canst thou not forget"
NO" was the curt reply. After a
short pause, Wrangel began again,
my son, canst thou not torgive?"
"With all my heart" answered Bis
marck, and the two remained friends
till Wrangel's death.

he freed from some Of it's most painful
features if men always acted to each
other on basis of real justice and in
telligence, and left their small personal
feelings and prejudices out of sight. A
mans work ought to be judged by itself
and for itself alone, and the strength Of
mans position ought to rest solely
upon what he is able to do. And yet
most of us are constantly neutralizing
the best work Of others because it is not
done in our way, and are constantly
failing to do justice to Others because
of some small personal prejudice against
them. The really strong, clearsghted
man is the man who is able to put him.
self out of the question. and to Judge
others by what they really are and do,
not by their relations to him. In this
working world there is neither time nor
strength to be always coddling our
small vanities and still smaller prejudi
ces. The world does not stand in order
that we may be pleased. 1t stands as a
place for the doing Of honest work in
the best way, and if that work can be
better done in some other way than the
one we prefer, our business is to let it be
done and rejoice in it. If you wish to
see things clearly, and to be just with
your fellow-men, keep clear Of the
fumes Of vanity and the thick atmos-
phere Of mere personal feeling. Make

the WAY OF THE WORLD.

Weep, and you weep alone
For this brave old earth
Must borrow it's mirth.
1t has trout BILE enough OF its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, and tits lost on the air.
The echoes rebound
To JOYFUL sound.
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
aGrieye. and they will turn and go,
They want full measure
or all your pleasure,
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
lie sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline
Your nectnred wine.
But alone you must drink life's gall
Feast. and your halls are crowded:
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give,
And it helps you live.
But it cannot help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For long and lordly train;
But one by one
We must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

DlsruptiOn of Friend chip.

Two women uptown, who have been
dear friends for years, are at daggerS
points, says the New York Erening Sun,
and the friends Of both are ranged on
one side or the other of the controversy.
The cause of it all il cook. Mrs. A.
had a cook of superior skill. One day
she appeared before her mistress and
quietly announced that she should 90
into Mrs BIS service the next month
because Mrs. B. had offered her larger
wages. Mrs. A. was thunderstruck.
Her dearest friend come into her homo
and steal away her chief dependence in
this way? Impossible! She put on her
wraps and drove to Mrs. BIS home. 1t
miliar friend in whom she had trusted
had lifted up her heel against her and
hired her cook out Of hand. Moreover,
when charged with her treachery she
coolly insisted that she had every right
in the world to hire another wOman's
cook away from her if she could, no
matter if that woman was her best
friend.
Mrs. A. fairly gasped ut the heresy.
Women had occasionally been known to
do this dark and dshonorable deed, but
there had never been found one SO hard
ened in iniquity to defend it. Perhaps
Mrs. b. would be capable OF like de-
tense if she had estranged the atfec-
tions of Mrs. AS husband or children
from her. Mrs. b. had tie grace given
her to rejo,n that there was no paral-
lei in the cases. This was an affair
purely of business. The cooks services
were worth so much o month to Mrs.
A. II they were worth more to another
woman that woman had a perfect right
to make the fact known to the cook
and the cook to profit by it. This was
the business method, and no man &C
cused another of dishonorable methods
because he had offered his most compe'
tent assistant better pay for his services
Mrs. A. refused to look at the matter
in that light and they parted-Mrs. A
in tears, Mrs. B. in the cool conscious
ness Of business sagacity and of unsul
lied rectitude.
The matter was speedily brought int
an open parliament of their common
women friends, there to be the subjec
of an intellectual game of battleloo
and shuttle-cock that is still at it
briskest.
