Something We All Want.

Between wishing and wanting there
! is gut as wide as infinite space All
the visionary castles in Spain would
ran to hold our wishes ii they could take
! shape and form. our wishes are many.
! our wants are few. The old cOupiet OF
! Goldsmith may seem little thread-bare,
| but the truth in il lives and manifests
itself in spite of this luxuriant age:
'AIan wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long"
A wise man OF the Old World who had
risen from poverty 10 riches was wont
10 say: My riches consist not in the
extent Of my means. but in the fewness
Of my wants" 1t is a very interesting
thing 10 sit down and pare away. one
by one the luXuries and needless ac-
cessories of life. till at last we find that
the things we really need cost a mere
bagatelle compared with the money we
spend on the luXuries and needless things
Of life We want good plain food and
plenty Of II. but we don't need six courses
at "A dinner We want Iurc air, clean water
quiet sleep, and healthful exercise. We
are very often lamentably ignorant or
many OF the simple essential wants Of
life Men are moping and moaning,
hymn-book in hand. over their lost es-
tate. when all they really want is a
brisk walk or an hours good hard work
And what is true ia the physical world
is true in the mental world Men don't
need whole Libraries of books In order TO
have the opportunity Of d sound and lib
eral education. few books. well read
aud mastered, is much better than a
hundred volumes hastily skinned
through. Not what we eat but how
much we assimilate. is the all-important
question. One man will get more brain |
food out Of a mackerel than another
man will out of a whale. The assimiat- |
ing builds up the man. 1t is not half as |
important a question how many books a |
man reads, as how much there Is left In |
him OF the books when the reading is |
over. One thing, however Is certain,
one Of the few essential wants of every |
thoughtful mind is thorough, accurate,
reliable Encyclopedia. Without such an
aid he who reads but stumbles In the |
dark, and the more serious and impor-
tant the character OF his reading, the
more important the possession Of a die
honary. He may read the last novel OF
the school Of shrinking sensationalists
and fail to understand the authors mean
ing. IL may be that in such a case zig
norance is bliss" And even at the worst
he Will probably know quite as much as
the author himself. But If he should |
undertake TO read the best efforts of the
master minds Of literature he must have |
q good encyclopedias by his side or he |
will never read them understandingly. |
OF necessity, these treasures Of scholar
ship nave been very costly. They have
heen the luxuries Of the rich Rut a |
better day has dawned; and we rejoice
mat we are able 10 offer on such easy
tennis that all our readers may come into
the happy possession OF the greatest en-
cvclopedia OF the age. The Encyclopedia
and Gazetteer, for full particulars re-

POOR LITTLE FELLOW.

But He Raised Enough Money to Buy
What lie Wanted.
A pale faced, half starved boy came
into Main street restaurant about 1880
o'clock last night. He carried few pa
pers under his arm.
He looked cold. His shoes were out
st the toes, and his stockings had holes
In both knees. He had no overcoat. and
he stood shivering at the door for a mo-
ment, as if undecided what to do. Then
he walked timidly over to the cashier
and said, please, mum, kin see il
enybody wants t buy poiper"
The cashier was about to refuse, when
the little fellow spoke again: please,
mum, lemme. Me fadder won't let me
cum home till l sell all desc papers, an
trades dead rotten on de street. Please,
mum, kin I?'
There were tears in his voice, and the
cashier relented. She gave him penny
and bought paper herself, and then
told him to go to the tables if he wished.
The little fellow took off his cap and
tucked it under his arm. He walked down
between the tables and said in weak lit
tie voice: ''Poiper! Enybody want ter
buy poiper?" There were not many re-
sponses to this appeal, and he began
personal canvass. Stopping at table
where middle aged man and his wife
were eating, he said: "Please, sir, wonchu
buy a poiper? Me fadder'll lick me + l
don't sell all desc, an dey amt no chanst
on de street. Please, sir, buy one, won
chu?'
"Buy paper, john" said the woman,
and the man gave the boy 10 cents and
took one of the little bundle.
Then he went to the next table, and
the next, and the next and all down the
room. He told his tale of woe so well
that before he had reached the end OF
the room he had sold every one. He had
handful of small change, and he pulled
his cap on his head and started for the
door on a run.
"What pity it is" said the middle
aged woman, that fathers are so bru-
tai and that such small children have to
toll SO hard to support them in idlenessP'
The small boy bolted out of the door
and straight across the street, Here an
other small boy met him. Hey, Chin
mie," said the second small boy, "did 7
work."
"Betcher life," replied the first small
boy exultantly, IAN l got huff t buy
