Tho Woods OF Night.

"Hoo- hoo-oho- hoo -G-hoo-h -hoo-hoo -
shouts out our old friend the brown owl
from tho top Of one Of the great trees that
surround us, for this is his own special
domain. Moonlight is beautiful at all
times and seasons, but when large wood,
free from stuntcd underground, is lit up
by the soft light Of full moon network
Of light and shade is seen above and below
that could not be seen elsewhere, for the
light creeps along the interlaced branches
looking like silver and ebony. Before you
have fully made out the fitness of this
comparison to your satisfaction some of
the huge silver bceches come in the range
Of light.
The shadows from the limbs and
branches above checker the bolcs, creep
down them and over the carpet of fallen
leaves, shadows softly moving, at one
time broken up, then for a short space they
are masscd, to break again, and scatter
themselves in all directions. Where some
of the trees havo fallen, leaving gaps and
open spaces below, bright blue green
patches show, about which dark gray dots
arc astir. These are rabbits feeding on the
short tender grass, for nothing is left bare
long; directly through some natural acct
dent larger growth ceases to exist, Il
smaller one Of very different nature is
ready to take tho place of it.-Cornhill

A poor little girl was peddling apples in
a railway station. A train was about
starting, and almost at the last moment a
tall, rufIianly passenger stepped off the ear
steps and called for Is cents worth of the
apples The girl counted them out, the
man took them, and then, as he moved to-
ward tho car, began feeling in his pocket
as if for the money. The change was not
forthcoming, he was on the steps, the train
began to move, the girl ran eagerly after
it, ard there stood the man on the plat
form laughing at her
BY good ncll, the mayor of the city hap
pened to be among the bystanders-a war
veteran, with tender heart and a con-
tempt for all meanness. He ran at once
to tho superintendent Office and said:
"I'll give you 800 to stop that train
and have it backed into the station
The offer was promptly accepted, tele-
gram was dispatched, and very soon the
player of the joke found himself in the
hands of the police. He paid the girl her
/ cents, of course, and offered to pay her
good deal more, but the officers were in
oxorable, and to the qualification of the
lockers on he was marched off to Jail

Sympathy, beautiful and pure is apt to
be marred by its being prompted merely
by a sense Of duty, and thus its true and
natural spontaneity is yelled. 1t is true
that the habit becomes second nature to
us, and by habit we may and do develop
honorable and charitable sympathy with
all suffering, but the truly sympathetic
are so born, and it is as impossible for
them to enshroud their true desires and
actions as it is ''to soil sunbeam by the
touch" 1t is In the late youth and ma
turo years that, as n rule, we SEQ its most
splendid achievements. In childhood it is
apt to be in allegiance.
In the old ago of good people its beauty
is enhanced, and yet in many instances, in
the sere and yellow leaf, all that was of
sympathy, what little there might have
been, becomes bitterness, and the selfish
man clings to what he has gained covet-
ing what he has not, with tenacity
which battles description. All his treas
urcs arc on earth, and as he knows he
must and shall leave them there can be no
eternal hope in him, and his mind becomes
centered on that which is Of but short
duration. He becomes earthen, " and the
rest of his days are spent in sordid con-
temptation of what at best is but an idle
dream.-Current Literature.

Oucstions That Are of Interest to All
Deep Thinking Men.

II Mr.. Spencer were now TO rewrlte the
nPrincinles Of Sociology, there can be no
doubt that he would find in the United
States an Illustration scarcely less strik-
inc Most of what he jfells Us of the
chances in England is a matter OF history
bc-a That the immediate result of the
Ice gar of rebellion was tendency of the
,niIit,rv ofyic;aIisr1 to take the place Of
civil offieialisrn no one will deny, and.
though it may perhaps not be said that we
haxe military heads of all the various de-
,,artn,ents. still the disposition to fill all
administrative offices with military chief
4ains so strong Immediately after the war,
was in the same Iine-the result being "a
s1gie of administration which asserts au-
thority more and regards individual claims
less - At the same time the revival of
the rredatcry spirit in regard TO external
affairs has been clearly discernible here,
too far although the sin Of aggressive
v-oreare ON weaker or barbarous nations
cannot be laid at the door of our govern
ment the constant cry for coast defenses
and for the strengthening and increasing
of army and navy are clear indications OF
the same spirit
Bu5 what chiefly must strike us as IA
1niliar facts are these: The spirit of sani-
tary dictation and the usurpation of ex-
elusive privileges by certain professions
prominent among them the medicaD;
poor law, and, we may add, tramp law,
administration in various parts of the
Union; the demand for municipal dis
tribution of water, gas and coal, as we'll as
for governmental ownership of railroads
and tciegraphs; the ever increasing infu-
enco of "a cocrciyc philanthropy invok-
ing state power to improve peoples con
duct, ctc.-in short, the strong impetus
impaired to the socialistic tendency of
modem times is nothing but that same
military spirit clamoring for the right of
the state, or the commonwealth if you
please, TO regulate the private affairs of
the citizen in every department of life
