of counsel, who said it was better to be ON
the safe side, agreed TO meet again on

Ancient Voting Methods.

The SyracuSanS usell at one time
olive leaves for ballots. Rome, at
an early day after democracy was

system of today is "a revival of the
practice in Rome 1000 wears ago.
The voting classification in Greece
in olden times was both social and
territorial, not unlike the arrange

systems of voting were corrupted

Whining.

There is a class Of persons in
this world, by no means small,
whose prominent popularity is
whining. They whine because
they are poor, or. if rich, because
they have no health to enjoy their
riches; they whine because it is too
shiny; they whine because it is too
rainy; they whine because they
nave mo luck and others pros.
oerity exceeds theirs; they whine
because some friends have died
aud they are still living; they whine
because they have aches and pains;
they whine no one can tell why.
Now, I would like to say a word
to the whining persons.
First. Stop whining. 1t is of
no use, this everlasting complain
ing, frett;ng, scolding, fault find
ing and whining. Why, you are
the most delnded set of. creatures
that ever lived. Did you not
know that it is well settled prin-
ciple of physiology and common
sense, that these habits are moro
exhaustive of nervous vitality than
almost any other violation of phys
Illogical laws and do you know
how that life is pretty much asyou
take it and make it9 You can
make it bright, sunshiny, or you
can make it dark, shadowy. This
life is meant only to be disciple
nary-to tit us for a higher and
purer state of being. Then stop
whining and fretting, and go on
your way rejoicing.
Second. Sing the song of life
cheerily. Hark! DO you not hear
yonder bird singing joyousIy it's
merry carOls,a s it hops from Dough
to Dough IN its native forest home1
Initiate it'll Take up your song of
life, using it joyously and bravely.
Sing on, though you feel it not.
You are miserable, nervous, dis
peptic, IN wrong relation to your
selves and all Gods universe, and
that's all that ails you. Then stop
short, take up the song Of life and
leave off forever that whine OF
death!
"A merry heart doeth good like
a medicine, but a broken spirit
dryeth up tue bones.' Live simply,
cheerfully. trustingly, and by and
by your troubles will take to them.
selves wings and fly away You
will gradually grow more and more
into harmony with the natural or
der of things, and the bright light
OF heaven will shiue pleasantly

them into new Ilfe.-Manford's

came into the brain Of Mrs. Ann

have stimulated the inventive
genius of her neighbors, for few
years after her reaper and mower

One of the most complicated
machines ever made-is that for the

'oSt remarkable of all is the IN
zen ION Of Mrs. Mary B. Walton
for deadening the sound Of Car

waited railroad in New York, and
was greatly annoyed by the sound
of The roaring trains passing her
house. The mOStnoted machinistS
and inventors of the country had
given their attention to the sub
ject without being able to furnish
a solution, when 10! wonan's

and she is now reaping the re

Social Opportunities Are Equal.

There is no good reason why the
mechanic should not play the pi-
ana or the banjo if be oinclined;
none why he should not keep him
self clean and respectable and go
ilto society; none why the doors OF
mansions Should not open as wide
to him as to the salesman in a
store. If the daughters of Squire
Tinsel look down upon a mechanic
and smile upon counter jumper,
the former may console himself that
lie is no loser by the preference,
and that he may save the money
the latter spends upon concert
