A Great Life.

1t is apt to be lost sight of that one of the first
aims of human life is the formation of noble
human being-in other words, character building.
Every person may live great life. 1t is not
done by looking out for opportunities to do great
things, and when they come. doing them with a
hurrah and fuss. The Egyptian pyramids
themselves were only constructed by putting
one stone upon another. The greatest life ever
lived was built up slowly and painfully by doing
small things in great way day by day.
One brick upon another, one noble deed upon
another, rounds out the life, the greatest struct-
ure that ever was built. He who resolves to be
perfectly truthful and lives up to his resolves has
taken the only course that will give him clear
insight and mental exactness. He who controls
his temper and looks on all sides of matter is
fitting himself by and by to control his fellow
men. He who cultivates gentle, generous
nature sympathetic to all mankind, considering
them even as he would consider himself, is scat
tering a personal magnetism that will draw to
him all the children of men and give him power
over them. This is the meaning of that Bible
saying. He that loseth his life for my sake
shall find it.'-EX

Private Detectives.

1t is a long while since the courts have dealt
with the private detectives, and as a result the
men who engage in this particular nefariOuS
trade are becoming unusually prominent again
in New York. They are advertising extensively
and many of the old offices, which were shut up
when the crusade against them began in earnest
a few years ago, have been reOpened aud the old
shingles hung out again.
The private detectives were driven out of bus
mess by the exposure of the newspapers and the
strict attitude in the matter taken by the police.
The work of these men is nearly always Sneakish
in character. They make speciality OF preylng
on the iealOuSeS or suspicious of married
women, and their business is a Lucrative one.
because. as is generally known to the police,
they almost always sell out to both parties.
A woman who is suspicious of her husband is
caught by the attractive advertisement of one of
these agencies and ventures into the clutches of
the concern. She wishes to have her husband
Swallowed, and two men are detailed to watch
his movements. Swallowing is no longer profit
able in New York. and is seldom resorted to by
the regular police force.
If the detective succeeds in finding out one OF
two facts about man that he would not care tC
have his wife know. he makes an arrangement
with him by which all the reports submitted tc
her are revised by him. In other words, he
writes the reports, while the detectives take III
some other case. Their charge is usually 81 Z
day for each man who is supposed to be shadow
ing victim. SO it costs the wife S. day for {
report which her husband dictates. which
usually shows him in the light of a painstakint
and uneXceptiOnable husband. The amour
which the husband pays depends upon the abil
ity of the agency to beat him. 1t has beef
proved in scores of instances that the business i
one of blackmail and fraud, and the police view
with some alarm the great increase of the mum
Der of agencies during the past year.-N. Y. Sun

Crosses.

what the wool is to the warp, crosses are to
character. Without the latter. the former is
nothing but limp lines of thread without strength
without usefulness, without susceptibility of
being made beautiful. But when crossed by the
wool, it becomes cloth fit for various uses, and
capable of receiving finish and an ornament
alton which transforms it into thing of beauty.
In like manner mans character is limp, weak,
unreliable and unattractive until it has been
subjected to many tests and trials. These, like
the wool, cross and re-cross ones natural ten
denotes until resistance to evil, begets strength,
endurance, growth aud moral beauty. Why.
then, should one fret against ones crosses?
they are painful, veXatious, hard to be borne
sometimes, but what are these ills, which are
but for moment when compared with the ex-
ceeding and eternal weight Of glory with which
they are to be rewarded when the last one has
been overcome? The brilliants in ones eternal
crown will be the crosses of ones present life
crystallized in the love and light of Heaven.-Ex'

They Don't Count.

We are much pleased and fiatered to learn
that some of our young lady readers who are
studying the difficult and intricate sciences of ty
Biography and prOof-readng have adopted THE
PRISON MIRROR as a medium for their advance
ment, using the sample proof-sheets contained
in the columns of the Ladies Home Journal as a
text book.
While the prOOf-sheets above mentioned are,
without doubt, models of perfection as applied
to the Ladies Home Journal, the same system of
typography and punctuation must not nor can
not be applied in other instances. Typography
and prOof-reading are sciences which cannot be
acquired from the mere surface. as a child would
learn the alphabet from the various and peculiar
formation of the letters, but quite to the contary,
they must be acquired by the most intelligent
and practical experience and by close personal
application to the study of each individual SUBJ
ject.
The marks of denOtation of all practical proof
readers are, or at least should be identical, but

their systems of punctuation are as varied as
the beauty and teachings of our country school
ma'am's.
While THE MIRROR does not claim to be a
model of Typographical or grammatical perfection,
it should not be scrutinZed through the decep-
tive glasses of an obsolete or foreign system of
punctuation, and the same rule should apply
individually to each and all publications of like
character Hence, under the above indispensable
rule the one hundred and six grammatical, typo

The first two car loads of leather for our new
shoe shops arrived Friday. as did also several
new machines and other fixtures. The placing
of line shafting and machinery will be nearly
completed the present week. when the new
shops will be ready for business. and work will
begin in dead earnest at once.
1t will be necessary for the cutters to work
several days ahead before the real work of
manufacturing can be properly commenced and
Mr.. Joseph Connolly took the initiative step in
this department today when he spread the
first side of leather upon his block and cut out
ire first vamp. There is ten cutters benches in
the new shops all of which will be occupied,
principally by experinced citizen cutters, as the
work progresses,
The assignment of inmates to the several de-
partments of the new industry will commence
early next week. The new shops are light,
roomy and well ventilated and are splendidly
adapted to the purpose for which they are to be
used.
The offices of Superintendent Connolly, on the
first floor, has been completed, neatly painted
and furnished and are now ready for occupancy.
the furniture and Office fixtures having arrived
Saturday.
A number of new machines in transit are eX-
pected daily and will be placed in their proper
positions Immediately upon their arrival and
others will be added from time to time as the
work and progress demands. The new shops
will be running full force by September list.

Vicissitudes of the Mandolin Club.


AS 1 write, the Mandolin Club is agitated-its
triangular walls have been shaken from plastrOn
to carapace! Never, since the signing of its
articles of incorporation has such an avalanche
of excitement assailed its equanimity.
On Friday night. the 18th inst the fair men,
bers had assembled as usual i'll their club room
cred in knots, listened awhile to the soul dssolv
ing strains, and sought their homes for prayer;
the turbulent waters of st. Croix had inhaled the
soft. articulated vibrations and become tran
quilted. Naught seemed to prevail through all
the city but peace, music and harmony; yet the
devil was abroad-I speak it with sorrow-iust
opposite the club room near the entrance to a
vacant hall was travesty-band of music de-
famers headed by triumvirate of saltwater S
elite; scons of noble stock.-the cultured and
refined; each with jews-harp, harmOnica and
diminutive hand organ; recognized at once by
both Mrs. President CaprOn and Miss Jones,
the manager, as aspiring men who had been re-
fused membership in the Mandolin Club; and,
who to vent their spleen had now formed this
outrageous method of emulation and rivalry for
repayment. At a time. too. when Miss Kittie
Reyes, its secretary, is resuscitating from or
ganizaton-exhaustion, on the wild shores of
Elmo; and at a time when the chivalrOuS blood
of vampred century ceases to boil in the
heapedup indignities of man upon the tenderest
and levliest of all Gods creatures.
This paper ever has been and always will be
an ardent defender of equity, purity, progress
and the indices of higher kingdom consecrated
in the frail armOr of woman; and should these
disturbing elements be brought again to notice
i shall strike a blow! Verify, say, 1 will class
ify them in accordance with the Bertlon sys
