A piscracefuI Spectacle Averted.

It is an interesting story that is told
of the elaborate preparations which the
Democrats in congress made for fight,
when they apprehended that the
sergeant-at arm might endeavor to
bring them into the house to perform
their constitutional duties. 1t seemed
that they hired twenty carriages and
kept them standing all day near the
capitol, ready to whisk them of in case
of need to quiet hooks in Virginia and
Maryland. AS it happened the precau-
ton was superfiuous; the Republicans
gathered quorum Of their own num-
Der, and were indifferent whether the
Democrats were in their seats or not
But It is almost pity that the condi-
tons could not have been such as to re-
quire the presence of the Democrats in
the house. Then what scanpering
there would have been out into the
country. What an. inspiring sight
would have been presented Of the
sergeant-at-arms endeavoring to run
down and bring back to their places

A LIFE Of independence is generally
a life of virtue 1t is that which fits the
soul for every generous fight of human
ity, freedom and friendship. To give
should be our pleasure, but to be ser
vile recipient should be our shame. Sc
renity, health, and affluence attend the
desire Of rising by laber; misery, repent
ance and disrespect that of succeeding
by extorted benevolence. The man who
can thank himself alone for the happi-
ness he enjoys is truly blessed; and far
more lovely is the sturdy gloom of la
borious indigence than the fawning sim
per of thriving adulation.
SELFIsHNESs is an exceedingly un-
popular vice. But, when we consider
how many fond and foolish parents
spend years in trying to please their
children, and never develop the chill
dren's sense of duty, never call their at
tention tn the rights of others, we ought
not to wonder that so many persons
are wholly devoted to the qualification
of self. The limb that is not used be-
comes weak and soft, and at length dwin-
dies and withers; but the mighty right
arm of the blacksmith still thickens and
hardens the longer he wields the sledge
hammer. And it is just so with all the
faculties of body and mind.
EVERY energetic man desires to get
ahead. If his work in the world is to
amount TO anything, he must try to
make it more excellent than it has ever
been made, and so to distance all com
petititors. There may be some kinds of
work of the best quality done in solitude,
and with no such stimulus; but most of
the worlds labor is performed by men
and women who stand side by side, and
whose efforts afford strong and eguita-
BILE incentives each to each. Just as in
the race the energy of each runner is
brought ont by that of his competitor,
so, in the manifold eXertions of the
world, the powers and faculties of men
and women are constantly sharpening
and Strengthening each other by honor
able contest.

John Greenleaf Whittier was s. years
old Dec. II. He is our Oldest living
literary man of distinction, except
George Bancroft, who was born in 1900.
His SD year finds the beloved Quaker
poet in good health for SO old a man, but
feeble and somewhat deaf. His eyeSight
is slowly falling him, too, but he is still
straight as an arrow. He is now en-
gagged on what will almost certainly be
his last long poem. 1t deals with the dis
coyery of America by Columbus. If
ever finished it will be the ode that cele-
brates the opening of our Worlds fair in
1892. But he works slowly. He has fin
ished no more than half q dozen stanzas,
and-can only work half an hour at a
time.
Beyond price to his countrymen will be
the Columbus ode, if he lives to finish it.
He has always been interested in poll
;ics, and has held political Office to the
extent of being member of the school
board of Amesbury, Mass, his home.
He is delighted with the Australian bal
lot system recently adopted in Massa-
chusetts. He never fails to vote.
Whittier is a bachelor. The only sweet
heart he ever had died in early girlhood.
It was the child who spelled him down
and went above him in the class, as men
toned in his poem. He says of himself
am grateful TO the divine Providence, and
TRANQUILITY wait the close Of a life which has beer
longer and, on the whole, happier than had rea
son to expect, although far different from that
which dreamed Of in my youth.

Remarkable Surgery.

To New York hospital was brought
lately little lad of 6 years, suffering
from epilepsy. A hurt to his head a
year or two before was believed to be
the cause. He was put into one of the
wards, his faithful nurse with him, and
carefully watched. For some time he
remained. Every CONFUSION was noted
1t was set down in book how the at
tacks seized him, which way he threw
up his arms, which way he tossed his
head. which part of his body stiffened
and became helpless under the par
oxysms.
The surgeon in attendance decided
from study of these notes, that the in
jury to the child's head had caused a
lesion in certain part of the brain, and
that was the source of the epilepsy. He
located to his own satisfaction the spot
where the brain lesion existed.
On given day an operation was per-
formed The boy was rendered insen-
sible by ether. Then piece of his skull
was delicately and skillfully cut out over
the place where the doctor had located
the lesion, The piece of skull was de-
posted in vessel of warm, sterilized
water while the operation was in prog
ress.
1t was a moment of intense interest
when the brain was uncovered to view,
and there, exactly where the surgeon
had located it, was the wound he had
expected. The injured part was removed
by the surgeons knife, the circular
piece of skull quickly and skillfully
sewn on again, the head bound up and
the little patient allowed to come to life.
To prove that the surgeon was right in
his diagnosis as to the cause of the cpl
lepsy, the commissions ceased after the
injured brain was removed, and the
child was recovering rapidly at last ac-
counts.
