The Ladder Of Life,


Southern Lmbelman.l
In climbing a ladder we can as
cend one step only by letting go
another; SO all through life We can
not take one upward step except by
letting 90 the one we now stand
upon. The child must loose his in
fantile grace, his winning ways, and
something of his innocence, to be-
come the sturdy, active, inquiring
youth; and the youth in his turn
must loose much of his bounding
gayety and eager enthusiasm to gain
the stability, breadth of view, and
power of mature and intelligent
manhood. So each species of hap
piness is gained by resigning some
preceding one. The sensualist must
give up the pleasure of vice ere he
can know the delights of a happy
home; the miser must resign the Joy
of counting his hoard before he can
experience the happiness of a gem
erous affection. The scholar gives
up ease for knowledge; the philan-
thropist loses many personal ad-
vantages to find a higher happiness.

The Census Enumerators.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.l

Chicago Inter-Ocean.l
Every enumerator appointed to
make the census is required to take
an oath that he will perform his du-
ties faithfully. They take this oath
in light of the fact that if they vio-
late it in any particular they are
liable to a fine f $4,000 and three
years imprisol Mt, and the viola
ton is punisl 'e by the United
States authorities. This means that
no man appoint i as an enumerator
will dare return false name on his
list The super or is placed un-
der thesanQe restrictions. And the
law goes stillafurther than this, and
makes every householder amenable
toIthe same law ifhe refuses to give
,or fails to give accurate and COM
plete answers to the questions
asked by the enumerator. This is
done III order to secure the most
thofouehly reliable and accurate
feturns possible. The enumerator
||ssill begin the first day of June,
and in eities close in fifteen days,
|pnd IN country districts in thirty
days. Enumerators, whether paid
by Che day or per capita, will be
ableSto make about $3. The pay
of the supervisor is 81, 900, and out
of this he pays all his expenses.

AS to his inventions, there. is no
creature more depen@entthan man.
In every single thing we attempt
there is a certain degree of imper-
fection which hinaers its accom-
plishment. Our powers are not
sufficient to attain the perfection we
desire. "Man is ever falling" it
has been said, aad God is ever rails
ing him up again. Man is always
on the point ofbeing overcome, aud
God is always succoring and de-
Tending him Man tills the land
and sows the grain, but heNcan not

or injurious to cultivation. You
may puysue the most efficacious and

merce, industry, or politics. When
YOU nave done everything, there
will always remain something else
to be done; there will still be some
