LABOR.

With listening ear and watclful eye
With stern resolve nnd purpose high.
The people wait with muscles drawn
For darker night or brighter dawn.
With grmy face, with callouscd hands
The mighty man Of labor stands;
With fearless front and mighty form,
He calmly waits the coming storm.
Long suffering and kind IS he,
But little used 10 bend the knee.
He watches now the stOrm-clouds ily
Across the dark hnancial sky,
Then turns wlstfnl glance around
And wonders where hoip may be found.
With arms across bis breast he stands,
With mrsde drawn Ike iron bands.
Long whistles ronnd his ears the blast,
The wild wind blows as 'fgcre It's last.
With gathering gloom aud mournful
sound
The darkcning storm.clouds gather
round
The lightning ref y the gloomy sky,
The rent clouds rast and faster hy,
And there he stands ~ far away
His glad eyes see the coming day.
Through many a dark financial aight.
Through many storm aud many Il
fight,
Enduring much, but 10 the end
u turns aud rcuds It's foe again.
Thus labor stands ike stag nt bay.
Aud proudly keeps the hounds In play,

Birth, growth, maturity, decay, death
such Is the normal history Of man. The
three periods OF life should sustain a Ger.
tain proportion to each other, twenty years
OF growth, sixty years Of maturity, twenty
years of decay This Is what might be
counted upon as the ordinary course of
human life but for the fact that we labor
under load Of ancestral transgressions Of
physical and moral law, supplemented and
intensified by our own personal delinquen
cies and follies,
How pleasant is the pictured Twenty
years OF happy childhood and youth. sixty
years Of intellectual progress and achieve
ment, with domestic and social joys, and
then twenty years Of slow, almost uncon-
sclous decay, characterized by serenity of
mind, pleasing memories and joyous antic-
ipations Of a arander life beyond the grave.
Sadly different is human existence as we
see Ii. We look with wonder upon Glad
stone, past eighty, still vigorous in body
and mind, still strong and wise to lead the
great Liberal party Of England. We ac-
cept threescore and ten as lifes natural
limit, and expect only labor and sorrow If
this limit is passed.
We are doomed, we think, by our inher-
itance; and TO some extent this is true
But we should remember the law Of re-
cnperation. The torn flesh heals; the
broken bone reunites. Diseases tend to-
ward recovery The weary toiler rises
from sleep strong for new labors. The
wise physician bases his hopes upon this
law
And this tendency Of nature to heal her
self may be greatly assisted by careful and
intelligent living, so that it is always pos
sible that the man Of unfortunate ancestry
may secure for himself good old age and
start his posterity upon an ascending
plane Youths Companion.

James Payn recently told this anec-
dote to illustrate the difficulty of secur-
ing good plots:
"Trollope was at one time almost
alone IN not seeing the necessity Of hay-
ing any story in his books. Willie
Collins once said to him. Your fertility,
my dear fellow, amazes me: where do
you get-they are not much, but still
you have to find them--your plots fromY
We'll, my good sir. to tell you the truth,
from you A very little bit Of one Of
your plots--and, you see, you never miss
it--does for me.
"Ihe fact is. ii good plot is q difficult
thing to get. A very clever acquaint-
ance OF mine, a divine who had distin-
guished himself in literature, once CON
troverted this. He said he had himself
quite talent for plots. only, being in
the theological line, they we're Of no use
to him. Well, said, little irritated,

knew the cloth, and the shaft went
home), and for every good plot you give
me, If 1t is only in ten lines, I'll give you
ten pounds. After awhile--not the next
day, as he had led me to expect--he sent
me dozen. 4 didn't find it quite SC
easy as l thought, he admitted in his
letter, but here they are

other six not worth farthing. | have
had hundreds Of plots--or the hint Of
them, which is all that is required

career, but only two good ones, and one

able articles
