The Nobleness of Honest Toll.

The people least to be envied In this
world are those who do not know the
joy of earning their bread, and ore
provided for without the sweet seIse
of providing" There is, Us Carlyle so
often assured us, Il perennial nobleness
in honest toll. The bread for which
we have worked is the only bread that
is sweet to us, and by 1t the soul is
fed not less than the body. II we can
not altogether agree In the aphorism Of
French writer, who is himself an
example of amazing industry, that
'the man who works Is always good"
we can ut least agree that he has be-
come possessed of the elements of self
reverence and self-control, and treads
a path which makes for goodness, and
aids i'm is its development For the idle
youth is always the vicious youth. To
have no work to do, or to take no in
terest in our work, is to lay ourselves
open to the assault of every vice, the
seduction Of every sin. Those of us who
have never known the day when we
had no work to do, do not know how
much we are indebted to the law of
drudgery for such virtue as we possess.
There is a worse hardship than drudg-
cry; the hardship of Incidence. The
youth who is intent on making the
best use of life will recognize that prin-
ciple, and will learn to be grateful to
that invisible taskmaster who has
made his life consistently laborious,
and permitted no bread nor leisure
which he has not earned.-The Young
Man.

Which gives you bit of heartache

The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out Of a brothers way,
The bit Of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time or thoughtfor
With troubles enough Of your own.

So easily out of mind.
Those chances to be angles
Which every mortal finds.
They come in night and silence,
Each chill, reproachful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging,
And q blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bit Of heartache

A PIXIES PEAK LEGEND.
ome One Has Connected the Mountains

Gome One Has Connected the Mountains
Genesis With Early Mythology.
While the geological and mineral
ogical history of Pixies peak is in
teresting the real story of the place
comes from the Indian legends. To
Ernest Whitney of Colorado Springs
belongs the credit of discovering
these legends and in a certain meas
ure preserving them. Mr.. Whitney
went to Colorado many years ago
and became greatly interested in the
Indian traditions. He devoted years
to his study of them and has visited
nearly every tribe in the country on
it's reservation in search of informa.
tion. His hardest work was to sepa-
rate the old Indian legend from the
interpretations which were the result
of intercourse with the whites. His
work was oonscientiously DONE. and
although many interesting features
are omitted as being apocryphal the
legends as given today are the iden-
tical legends which were told in the
tribes $50 years ago.
Mr.. Whitney is convinced that
centuries ago there was close con-
nection between the mountain tribes
of Indians and the Aztecs, but says
he has no conclusive proof. The In
dian legends, especially the account
of the flood, which is factor in the
legends of all savage races, will
prove of interest to the Bible scholar
who will compare them with his
book of Genesis.
The legend of the formation of
Pixies peak, as given by Mr.. Whit
ney, follows:
cat the beginning of all things
the lesser spirits possessed the earth
and dwelt near the banks of the
great river They had created a race
of men to be their servants, but
these men were far superior to the
present inhabitants of the earth and
made endless trouble for their cre-
ators. Therefore the lesser spirits
resolved to destroy mankind and
the earth itself, so they caused the
great river to rise until it burst its
banks and overwhelmed everything.
They themselves took each a large
portion of the best of the earth that
they might create new world, and
a quantity of maize, which had been
their particular food, and returned
to heaven. Arriving at the gate of
heaven, which is at the end of the
plains, where the sky and noun
tains meet, they were told that they.
could not bring such burdens of
earth into heaven. Accordingly they
dropped them all then and there.
These falling masses made great
heap on the top of the world which
far above the waters, and
this is the origin of Pixies peak,
which is thus shown to be directly
under the gate of heaven. Ut was
formerly twice as high as now, but
lost its summit, as is told in another
egend.)
1.-THE rock masses upon it and all
about show that they have been
lropped from the sky. The variety
md extent of the mineral wealth in
he region prove that the earth's
choicest materials are deposited
here. And still as the oonstella-
ions move across the heavens and
7anish above the mountain sum-
nits we may see the spirits rise
rom the great river and pass to the
yate of heaven. The falling stars
re their falling burdens or the
lropping grains of maize. Cor.
