One of nalpb waIdo Emer,on.. s,or,s,


Mr.. Emerson himself had story-I
forget whether heard it in a lecture OF
in conversation-about a New England
come outer who went into hatshop and
selected for himself costly hat The
hat was put up and the dealer supposed
he was to be paid, but the man whom
he had thought to be purchaser said
simply: "Oh, 1 pay nothing for any
thing. am the man who does not be-
ieyo in money" Tho poor dealer had a
note to meet at the bank that day and
hardly knew how to do it. He looked
with dumb delight upon his customer
and said: 81 wish to God, sir, that no.
body else believed in money! Take the
hat, with my thanks to you for coming
for it."
Mr.. Emerson would say this was all
spontaneous was natural on the part
Of the customer and on tho part of the
trader. Butwhen, tho next day, another
man who had heard tho story came into
tho shop and selected for himself his hat
and said that he did not believe in money,
tho dealer refused the imitator where he
had accepted so readily tho inventor.
And Emerson drew tho moral from the
story which want to draw now, A
prophet who speaks the word that comes
to him from the living God speaks, may
say, with the living Gods power. But
ne who initiates tho prophet hasno spen.

Much has been said about the tempta-

If jockeys go astray it is their own fault.
They are bright lads, generally speaking,
and know the difference between right and
wrong. They are, nine times out often, as
honest as the day is long, and loyal to the

No; jockeys, as have said, as a rule art
honest not only TO their employers, but tc
the public. The greatest temptations tc
which they are exposed are social pleasures
Every one wants to treat a successful
jockey, some from pure friendship, Others
from desire to gain inside information re

yield even to temptation of this kind. They

Oh, my love, my queen of May,
The light of youth is gone.
Thy balmy tresses gather gray.
Thy rosy lips are wan.
VIII thy true eyes alter yet
And their nuptial smile forget1
Oh. my love, will Time deceive,
VIII he wither true love so?
There is more in love, believe,
Than the silly nations know;
More in love, when bloom is dead,
Than the rose wreath round his head
Oh, my love, and if thou need
Harbor when the north winds blow;
If thy tender footprints bleed
On the flints among the snow,
Love will raise sheltered cot,
Where the ice blast enters not.
Oh, my true love, We are wise;
When snow whitens on our land
Underneath the cloudy skies
We will travel hand in hand,
Since we have not far to go
To our rest beyond the snow,

The writer heard Wendell Phillips
once on the nobility of the North Ameri-
can Indians. and while the spell of the
speech lasted he was almost ashamed of
himself for being white instead of cop
per colored. One secret of the power of
Phillips with an audience was that he
was always definite, certain in his state
ments and position. If he had privately
doubts about a course or a policy, he
never exhibited them when on the plat
form. He very well knew that there is
nothing an audience likes so little in a
speaker as indecision and beating about
the bush. There was no haziness in
what he said. His subject stood out be-
fore his hearers as clearly cut as cameo.

in which he presented incontestable proof
of the extreme moisture of the country
in question. The records go back for
nearly Go years, but prior to 1872 are
rather incomplete. there being several
whole years in which no record was kept.
Carefully compiled data from these
weather Journals, however incomplete
as they are, prove that quite frequently

September, the rainfall for single month
ranges from 100 to 2l3 inches Think of
it! Nearly 10 feet of precipitation in so
days, Colonel Sir Henry Yulc's register
