A DoOR-KNOB PROBLEM.
One That a PuzzIe-Solver Had to Civ
I'm,

One That "A PuzzIe-Solyer Had to Give
Up.
The other day man who is so fond
of mathematics that he is never so
happy as when setting himself hard
sums, tried to give some sort of an av-
erage of the amount of work, and time,
and strength, and health, and patience,
and good nature that could be saved if
everybody opened and closed the doors
of all the houses by means of the door
knobs. OF course he had to give it up.
But think of it one moment. Think
of how many doors there are in one
house, and how much time it takes
every week to scrub off the dirt which
need not be there if the fingers closed
upon the doOr-knob instead of the door.
Watch yourself, and watch your
friends as they let themselves in and
out They turn the knob if there is no
other way of entering, and then trans
fer the hand to the door, feel of the
wood for awhile, and then push it to
with the fingers upon the paint instead
of the knob. "Show me a human, q"
said the wife of Thomas Carlyle, "who
can open and close a door without
slamming it, and without leaving a
mark upon it, and 1 will show you
some one whose acquaintance you
would do well to cultivate.
Mrs. Carlyle evidently understood
the use of door-knobs.-Ha rper's Young

MORAL MAGIC.

Think often Of mems worthy ways,
Speak rarely Of tneir bad ones;
Sing freely Of YOU happy days.
Keep silent OF your sad ones.
i is not right TO fret and sigh,
And when grief sleeps 70 wake IL;
Pure happiness is standing by
Our life is what we make il.
Look on the nobler side Of each,
Still trusting firmly in IL;
A prize there IS within your reach
II you but try 10 win it.
Why let a chain hold you in pain.
When you with ease can break it,
See in your hand the magic wand
This life is what We make IT,
Lift up your eyes when you are sad.
Your lonesome heart-strings aching;
Behold, the world at heart is glad,
In smiles at all points breaking.
Fresh streams Of bliss are ever flowing;
Deny your thirst or Stake it;
Both here and there where you are going
Your life is what you make il.
The deeds we do or leave undone
Makesweet or nauseating
Both what We meet beneath the sun
And states beyond it waiting;
And let kind fates the soul compose
Or cruel fortune shake it,
Through all the way true insight shows
That life is what we make it.
The strongest magic in the world
Consists of shared emotion;
Beneath this flag aloft unfurled
All sparxles like an ocean.
The heart may brood alone in blight
Till dead disgust doth cake it;
friend draws near with love and light
And life is what these make it.
Then praise to those whose cheerful hearts
Shed hope and JOY about them;
At each dear name the courage starts
We had not known without them.
Our earth should be a happy spot
To all who may paTtake it;
The faults their own if it is not;
For life is what we make it.

More Dangerous Than Woman.

Talk about the danger to life and
limb from the woman carrying para
sol, she isn't circu instance to the man
with an umbrella. AS rnle he car
ries that lethal weapon in one or two
ways. If he feels pretty good and de-
cides to take a brisk walk on a
crowded thoroughfare, he grasps his
umbrella firmly in such way that
his thumb is pressed on the end of the
handle, and then frantically swings it
so that it will prod anyone who comes
within six feet Of him behind If he is
not so lively, or if he is climbing an
elevated stairway, he carefully tucks
his umbrella under his arm in such
way that it will almost certainly knock
an eye out of anyone coming behind
him. Such men are dangerous and
ought to be put under restraint.-N. Y.
