Opportunity.
Globe.

Opportunity is bald behind, and must
be grasped by the forelock. Life is full
of tragic might-have-beens. No regret,
no remorse, no self-accusation, no clear
recognition that l was fool, will avail
one jot. The time for blowing is past,
you cannot stick the share into the
ground when you should be welding
the sickle. "Too late" is the saddest
of human words.
And the stages Of our lives roll on,
and unless each is filled as it passes
with the discharge of the duties and
the appropriation of the benefits which
it brings, then, to all eternity, that mo-
ment will never return, and these slug
CARDS may beg in harvest that they may
have chance to plough once more
and have none. The student who has
spent his term in Incidence, perhaps
dissipation, has no time to get up his
subject when he is in the examination
room with the paper before him. And
life and nature and Gods law are stern
taskmasters, and demand that the duty
shall be done in it's season or left un
done forever.-Irish Standard.

GIVE are all liable to mistakes, and
none are so blameless as to discriminate
against the man whose mistakes were
his misfortune"
The above quotation we take from an
editorial in one of our Sunday ex
changes under the heading Need of
Charity" yet how many instances of
Just such discrimination occur daily.
Man in mad rush for wealth Oversteps
his usual caution, is caught in the specu
lative net, and funds entrusted to his
care are sunk in the puts and calls of
the legalzed gambling room. He is
appcehended, perhaps imprisoned;
whether so or not. he is marked; no one
wants him. The successful speculator,
upon his own or some others money is
patted on the back and pronounced
good fellow. The point is, does the
theft Ostracise the man, or his failure to
succeed in robbing some other fellow
tunes made and lost every day in this
same species of robbery we are inclined
to believe the latter the cause. A man
takes $4,000 of his employers money
enters the wheat or pork market, clears
$4,000, divides the margins, and he
straightway becomes bright fellow;
good financier, enjoined to try it again
Reverse the matter, let him lose
and he is a thief and not be to
trusted. 1t is not so much that you
are thief, but that you are an I'M
successful one that draws the line OF
demarkation between vast portion Of
the "holier than thou" and the poor
fool that plays with his honor and man
hood by violating the 18th command
ment. But to refuse employment to any
man, honestly seeking it, that he may
provide bread for himself and those de

THEpresident offers great incentive
to young men and women to get
married, by the very generous donation
of $500 few days ago to a poor farmer
in Indiana whose wife presented him
with triplets, all girls, and which the
farmer named respectively Ruth,
Frances and Esther, in honor of the
presidents three children. Get married
young man, be presented with the
triplets. get the names of some rich
mans daughters, name your own after
them, and you will get check that will
start you in life. This seems good
advice, and easy of accomplishment
that is, the getting married part; the
deuce of it is though, to figure on the
triplets; supposing one was boy?

The Waterville Gazette editor evil
IDENTIFY believes that the scales of justice
are not evenly balanced by good ways.
He relates an instance that occurred at
his town few days ago. A woman of
questionable character was dismissed
from that city upon complaint of a
number of men and women. The
Gazette editor says he has looked into
the case carefully and so far has learned
of no men who have been ordered out
of town, men who were equally guilty
of the Offense. Order the men out as
we'll as the women. Just so! Talk
about murderers, human devils and
fiends incarnate as being products of
the larger cities if you will, but there
are plenty "Mephistos' of iniquity,
Satan's choicest fools are to be found
without going abroad to look for them
The Gazette editor is right. Let the
man who is the associate of a sinful
woman be taken out before the public
deprived of his character like her, pa.
raded and dashed by public opinion and
popular prejudice, whether he be
merchant, a dude, dove-tailed-coat
fend, or a plain every day Jim. &c
cover up the crimes and weakness OF
men at the sacrifice of woman is not
in keeping with the laws of republican
ism and christianity, humanity and God
If some friend of womanhOOd would
only give the lever of justice a gooo
twist and expose the faults of men, we
tremble to think of the awful spectacle
hidden beneath the mantle OF chris
tianity. 1t reminds us of the despiset
Jew, who after being silent spectator
to scheme Matched out by church
deacon as long as he could stand it
finally arose and exclaimed: eff that
what you call christian charity, In
DIN glad I'm Sheeney."-St. Pete

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock

Wheat opened strong at a 3sc advance
over night caused by strength in corn,
stronger Liverpool cables and better
cash demand. The government crop re-
port, which comes out Monday evening,
ought to show very small supply of
grain in farmers hands and is expected
to be very bullish in general New York
ers were surprised this morning to find
that their cable offers last night were
promptly accepted and liberal offers for
more. 1t is very difficult thing to buy
right on the bottom, as bottom is always
touched when market is the weakest
and everything looks most discouraging
to buyers We believe that purchases
made at these extremely low prices, will
prove quickly profitable, and advise buy
ing it on all breaks. A very encourage
ing feature is the fact that on this slight
advance the quantity of wheat engaged
for export A cargo was worked at
Chicago yesterday evening, and today's
cables bring large acceptances of our
wheat from Europe, and the latest adj

Pen and Ink Unfashionable.

A new fashion that is just begin
ming to grow IN vogue is thatof writ
ing letters in pencil rather than with
pen and ink, and when once it is
fairly established it is doubtful
whether anything but legal docu-
ments and business papers that must
be preserved will ever be prepared in
the old style. Letters are generally
shorter nowadays than they formerly
were; are more hastily written, more
frequent and seldom worth keeping
for any length of time. They are not
the elaborate efforts of bygone days,
that were often cherished for their
intrinsic worth. The pencil, which is
far more convenient than the pen, is
taking its place in the great mass of
casual correspondence

ana within their flattened logs were

was scrubbed until it was nearly as
white as the walls. On one side was
great fireplace, with large CRATE
piled high with perhaps 100 pounds of
glowing anthracite. Wrink.ed old
Irish women, in the whltest of
starched caps, sat in front of the CRATE
knitting stout blue wooden stockings.
To the tiny breaker boys coming

d Frenchman Says We Are All Rich
Who Knows Dentists.
A Frenchman who has been travel
ing. in this country says that what
struck him most in the United States
was the American habit of filing the
teeth with gold About $500. 600 worth
of gold is thus used every year, he
says, all of which, of course, is buried.
So he figures that at the end of three
centuries the cemeteries of America
will contain gold to the value of $780,
900, 900. 81 am afraid" he adds,
''that this will prove too tempting to
the practical mind of the future
American, and we shall see the day
when companies will be organized
to mine the cemeteries and recover
the gold secreted in the jaws of dead
ancestors" The writer then goes on
and figures up the average amount of
gold in the teeth of each dead person.
He has evidently been consulting the
record of vital Statistics for he says
that 875, 900 people died in the United
States in 1889. This would bring the
value of gold in each dead persons
teeth to an average of about sixty
five and three-fourth cents, and he
thinks that in well crowded GENE
teries the mining of this gold could
be carried on profitably despite the
small average value.
