PlTH AND POINT.

The innocence of the intention
abates nothing of the mischief of the
example.-The Southern Star.
Not to enjoy life, but to employ life,
ought to be our aim and inspiration
Macduff.
Many a man makes good reputa-
ton on what is not found out about him.
San Francisco Bulletin.
How much more agreeable the man
who wants to sell than the man who
wants to buy!-Atchison Globe.
Human nature is so constituted that

Happy the bride who does not hear

Remember, if you let your chickens

his pig will probably get fat in your po-

Every man ought to be as good as
his word. Nothing is expected of those
who never have a good word for any
body.-N. o. Picayune.
Wit is one thing and wisdom is an
other; when they unite Franklin is
formed. In such instances wit makes

profitable Leland.
You find yourself refreshed by the
presence of cheerful people; why not
make earnest effort to confer that pleas

battle is gained if you never allow
yourself to say any thing gloomy.
Much learning and little sense make
a very bad mixture. The man who is
thus fitted out is like an engine carry

manage the lever, or with the lever
gone. There is nothing before him but
disaster.-United Presbyterian.
If one can not seriously and soberly
think of his own life. and of the issues
thereof both here and hereafter, with
out being miserable, he may set it down
as certainty that there is some radi-
cal fault in that life. Sad, indeed, is
the condition of that man who can be
happy no longer than he can be thought
less. If he were right himself, then to
think of himself would be source OF
pleasure rather than of pain.-Rural
New Yorker.

WISDOM'S EMBLEM.

The Struggle for Supremacy Between the
Philosopher and the Owl.
Once upon a time the directors of a
large public building devoted to learn
ing met to decide upon proper emblem
for wisdom, whose statue they desired
should be upon the topmost spire of the
structure. All manner of created beings
contended for the honor of typifying
wisdom and the strife waxed vehement
insomuch that the directors were sore
perplexed. At last the contention was
narrowed down to two, the Philosopher
and the Owl.
81 am in the human form divine"
said the Philosopher. 81 embody the
knowledge of the ancients and the dis
coveries of the moderns. / can commu-

wisdom"
81 do not profess to embody all knowl-
edge,'' hooted the Owl, "but have that
which is better. l possess the art Of
concealing my ignorance.
Whereupon the directors unanimously
chose the owl as the better emblem Of
wisdom. and they placed its statue upon
the pinnacle of their temple of learning,
where it may be seen to this day.-Chi-

Their general opinion of an English
traveller is, that he is either lunatic or
magician; lunatic, if, on closely

he pays little attention to things around
him: confirmed lunatic, if he goes out

hieroglyphics; and magician. when in

sticks and leaves of brushes, or buying
up old bits of copper, iron and silver.
In these cases, he is supposed, by aid of
his magical powers, to convert stones
and shells into diamonds of immense
price; and the leaves and sticks are
charms, by looking at which he can be-
stow comforts upon his friends, and
snakes and pestilence upon his lucklesS
enemies. If traveller pick up stone
and examine it carefully, he will be sure
to have at his tail host of malapert

When partly dry she stripped Oh 'n0

ton bag. and made for that cover OF
soft saoe-green silk, with an odd snot
nattern over it. 1t was piece OF wnat
had been her great grandmothers "eo-
ding gown.
Toila! Do you realize the situation,
readerp Rrie had made the first OF all
the MANY balsam pillows. 1t was meant
for a goodbye gift to Miss Morgan.
"Your cushion is the joy OF my LIE,
wrote that lady to her month after
she went home Every one who sees IL
falls in love with it. Half dozen peo-
nile have asked me how they could get
one like it. And Brie. this has given
me an idea. Why should you not make
them for sale? | will send you some
nrettv silk for the covers. and you might
cross-stitch little motto if you like.
COPY some for you. Two people have
given me orders already. They Will pay
four dollars apiece if you like to try.
This suggestion was the small weoge
of the new industry. Brie lost no time
in making the two pillows, grand
mothers gown fortunately holding out
for their covers. Then came some pref
tv silk from Miss Morgan, with yellow
fh,ssle for the notices, and more orders.
Brie worked busily that winter, Tor her
balsam pillows had to be made in spare
moments when other work permitted.
The grove on the hill was her untalllng
treasure of supply. The thlck-set twlgs
bent them to her will; the upper
branches seemed to her to rustic as with
satisfaction at the aid they were giving.
In the spring the old trees renewed
their foliage with vigorous will. as II
resolved not to balk her in her purpose.
The fir grove paid Reuben's wages
that winter. Miss Morgan came back
the following June, and by that time
balsam pillows were established as
articles of commerce, and Brie had
magnificent offer from a recently estab-
lished decorative art society for supply
of the needles at three dollars per
pound. 1t was hard, dirty work to pre-
pare such a quantity, but she did not
mind that.

MODERN JOURNALISM.

The Subject Discussed by Successful
Philadelphia Editor.
One of the trials of the editor is the
ephemeral nature of his. work. Yet
even this has its compensatory offset in
the wider reading and the immediate
effect. A hundred thousand readers
spread over ten or twenty years would
be a. great crown and reward in any lit
erature- why not hundred thousand
readers concentrated in day? However
evanescent its character, the triumphs
associated with the modern newspaper
are incalculable. The consciousness of
directly addressing half million peo-
pie and of Indirectly speaking to con-
tinent, is inspiring. 1t is true there is
no Intellectual exhilaration,, no electric
thrill, no ecstasy of soul, like that of
the orator who looks into the eye of
his hearers and plays upon their
emotions and feels the quickening re-
action upon himself. But that audience
is limited. while the newspaper audi
world for his field and all subjects Of
thought for his themes. He speaks be-
fore the orator can get to his feet and
settles opinion before the statesman
makes himself heard. He draws the
fang even while he gives it play and
sends his antidOte with the poison.
When Coleridge, reporting a midnight
speech in the House of Commons and
dashing off his answer at two o'clock in
the morning, sent it out in the same
sheet, he established the editorial leader
and showed it's possibilities. Napoleon
regarded four newspapers as more dam
gerous than an army of a hundred thou
sand men; and newspapers in his day
had all the limitations of the hand
press. How much more powerful
with the Unreasonable resources
of to-day! Jefferson said that
he would rather have newspa-
pers without government than gov
eminent without newspapers: and the
philosophy of the observation is clear
The alertness, vigilance, publicity and
organized public opinion of newspapers
are the safeguards of the social and
political fabric. The editor scourges
rong-doers, dethrones political usurp-
ers, unhorses official recreants, unfrocks
pretentious charlatans,7 pricks social
humbugs, routs old superstitions, molds
popular opinion, stimulates universal
education, quickens individual aspira-
ton and leads the van OF progress. In
this broad realm and in these unlimited
possibilities while the daily grind brings
its rasping trials, it is also illuminated
by splendid and inspiring triumphs.-

AN ARCHITECTS DREAM.
my home in bed 1 lay,

Within my home in bed lay,
had been reading Thackeray.
Some plans had been looking DER:
First story, attic. second noor."
And on this night Of which write,
Whate'er the cause, saw sight
That never in my life before
dreamed to see, or dreamed saw.
A rudy dame in costume DID,
With lace and ruffies manifold,
Stood fixing me with anxious eye,
While l could neither move nor cry.
At-last she spoke: 'Tve lost my wayi
/ must be gone before it's day.
You are the master here, know;
Help me. AS came 1, 1 would CO."
Thereat my courage soon returned,
My guests dilemma thus learned;
And whosoeer this dame might be,
Why had she come to furry meg
She said: 81 came to see from far.
What your famed Queen Anne Mansions
are
Lost in this fearful, wondrous house,
What could do but you Arouse?
Unseen by all thought to be,
But thus you could not set me free.
And" added she, II am not well;
Oh. lead me hence, unlOoSe this Spellt"
Quick drawing screen about the bed,
And. budding on some clothes, 1 led
My stranger guest upstairs and down.
And could it be / saw her frown?
My stairs are always a surprise,
Twenty-inch ''treads," four inches 'rise,"
"Tbirty-eight steps we've jOurneyed DER,
think" she said, ito reach this floor.
"'Tis well the stories are not high"
Much quainter So" did reply;
My head room is little low"
She gave quick, asserting bow.
The second story is my pride;
Rough-cast and gilded work inside
LincruSta tiles around the doors,
Broken-green bottle inlaid floors.
And yet no word she spoke but trod
AS one who's charmed by magic rod;
And when our "gas log fire blazed,
And the electric light she stood amazed.
Then was sure her speech must como,
But when it did was struck dumb.
For my aesthetic house such words
Words that might turn sweet milk to curds
Crleu she: Il lOathe hOleS In nOOr,
Whence blasts with demon fury pour!
These pipes and cocks and hidden things,
These binding lights trese startling rings
/" A shingle palace made for show"
Who told her So I'd like to knowf
:" No harmony, nor plan nor care,
And every thing is everywhere.
"Oh, for the age Of stone and men!
The days Of stout Vanbrugh and Wrenj
OF common sense and good red brick.
Your gilt and gewgaws make me sick"
At this point could bear no more;
. My blood was up, my feelings sore.
" Madam, this house to me is dear.
Its architect-mySelf-s here.
sSiWhat can you know of Anne or Wren?"
1Bhe turned and shook her head, and then
with whitening smile: 'Thou wretch6d
man."
