The Philadelphia Telegraph Republican,
gives some very sensible advice to Presi-
dent Harrison, who, it seems, has shown
a disposition to blame the managers of the
election for his overwhelming defeat. IT
says that Mr.. Harrison, INSTEAD of
ENORMOUSLY trying to vindicate himself
at the expense of men who, whatever the
size n number of their political blum
ders, at least zealously strove for his re-
election, he should clearly interpret Alright
the verdict of the people. and counsel the
leaders of the Republican party, and es-
pecially the manufacturers of this coun-
try, to turn sharply around, TO accept in
good faith the popular decision and seek
TO conform to it in an honorable and
equitable spirit. Nothing is to be made,
but very much may be lost, by indulging
in recriminations."
Very wise words, and all concerned, es-
pecially the hitherto favored manufact-
urers, will, if they are keen business men,
make haste to heed them.

Take Care of Yourself.


An exchange speaking ofthe unusual
mortality Just now prevalent, sensibly
talks as follows:
"Men advanced in years, but Of robust
frame and health, have been suddenly
stricken down and carried of after q
short illness. In many instance the in
dncing cause was the prevailing epi-
demic, the grip. Even when they seem
TO have recovered from its severest at
tacks, they fall victims to other causes
resulting from their enfeebled condition.
And Just here is where a word Of caution
may not be amiss. People who believed
themselves cured exposed themselves
out of doors to soon. They we're not
well, although they believed they were,
and they fell easy victims to the frst
malady that came along. This is the
thing to be avoided. Don't venture out
of bed 20 soon, much less into the aimos-
phere out OF doors. 1t may be irksome
in bed or indoors, but that is no, the
worst Of evils. Extreme caution should
be the watchword with all who have or
have not been attacked by the prevail
ing epidemic. If it cannot be wsrded off
altogether, its assaults may be 50 guarded
against as to reduce the danger to a min
imum. Doubtless a good many lives
have been lost by the non-observance of
these practical measures"

The Ladder of Success.

Room at the top? Yes, and at the
bottom, too. Do your best. catch hold
wherever you can, push fairly, and 90 up
a step at q time.
Royal roads to success are rare slow
and sure plodders are not always left be-
hind. There are a thousand ways to do
many things, and several roafs to Rome.
Think Of the boys with bundles on
their backs, who have sold their little
wares and started a corner stall, and
from the stall gone TO a little shop, and
from the little shop to big one, and
are now merchants whose names are
known in annals ofccmmerce.
Think Of Presidents ofthe United States
who began by splitting rails, or tanning
leather, or making coats. Think of the
workmen you have known who have
gone up head in their trades. Go through
all the:arts and professions, and discover
for yourself that where one young man
with all the advantages, aud plenty of
money, and plenty OF influence, gets in
at the top, there is another, who began
poor and friendless, and who had no op-
portunities whatever, who has climbed
fron the bottom and stands abreast of
him.
Avail yourself Of all the chances that
may offer to take the upper place at
once 90 not be idle because YOU are
lucky but il, on the contrary, you stand
alone in the world. weighted with dis
advantages and disabilities, don't sink
down hopeless. On the average those
who have to climb get there first.

A Bad Pick Up.

Mind your own business is good rule

was done up in its wrapper Hurried as
l was. stopped, picked it up and chased
the woman.
Pardon me, madam said I, "you

She turned serenely upon me- "Yes,"
she said, Il meant to" and passed on.
This left me in an angry state of mind.

don't care what becomes Of it" and drop
ped it. hadn't gone three yards when
a voice at my elbow said:
Pardon Iue, Miss, you dropped this"

and l smiled sheepishly, saying: "Oh,
dear-thank you, and took it. A little
further along 1 dropped it again and
bolted into store. While 1 was buy
ing hat, an urbane salesman rendered
the paper to me, with: "a lady left this
Just now. She said you dropped it."
''0h, thank you 50 much" said l.
Then l left it on the counter. They
sent it home with the hat. \ little la
bel was on it "You left this" threw
It in nv coal box. Said John the next
morning: 81 found brand new unopen-
ed paper in the coal box, Miss, and put
it on your table"
There it was, too. No one will blams
me for throwing it out of the window
then and there. In a moment the bell
rang. Presently the maid entered.
"a gentleman just left this" she said 7;
''it just now fell out of the second story
\ front"
That paper is befor me now. Ton ght

singing Cattle to Sleep.

Its Interesting TO watch trzincd men
deal with great heards Of cattle which
you notice on the plains Perhaps there
is no animal 50 timid as the COW. You
win see numbers of them huddle them
selves together by tree or some other
object whenever there is thunder and
lightning. If left to themselves at night,
too, they will take fright at the least
sound, lift were but the flying Of spar
row, that is, when they are not asleep.
What the cowboys have to do then,
every night is to collect them together
and drive them into their pens. Then
three of them, perhaps, will ride around
the ring, each following the other, and
all singing. They must sing or keep up
some kind of noise, or otherwise the
heard would go on stampede, and per-
haps it would take ride of thirty miles
to get them back. But while the sing
ing goes on you will see first one and
then the other lie down to sleep, all
coming as close together as it is possible.
The riders keep on till the last has fol-
lowed the example Of the others and
then the cowboys are done with their
days labor.
When stampede does take place the
only remedy Is for rider to go ahead Of
the cattle. There would be no use in at
tempting 10 check it otherwise. Gradual
". by turning this way and that, he gets
the herd TO rake circle, and when that
is done the cattle will stand and can be
led anywhere. But the singing seems to
to have as sOporifc an effect on the cat
tie as the speeches Of certain politicians
have upon an audience.-IS Louis Globe.
