Two Ways 70 Win, by Frances E. Willard.

Two Ways 70 Win, by Frances E. Willard.
81 wish TO learn the violin, said she
land to make myself famous.
She spoke to philosopher who slowly
lifted his tranquil eye and said: ''There
are two ways The first and truest is,
get the best master that you can, & by
yourself and put in several years and
practice under his instruction. The
second best is, get fairly good instruc
tor, learn something about The violin and
then 60 to all your friends and ask them
to buy tickets to your entertainment and
get the nc ~spapers to say that you play
well. For awhile the last succeeds, but
if you have really mastered your instru
ment these social and advertising
methods will not be needed, for you will
have become like Orpheus who had but to
pat his instrument in motion and even
the wild beasts of the forest gathered to
listen
The young lady looked at him with
widening eyes.
81 / know "A case In point" continued
the philosopher. 1.-TWO young men We're
graduated from our best university.
They ware presentable, fine fellows, one
of them particularly handsome and both
determined to succeed. / was present at
dinner given by the dean one night, IL
few years later, and the chief justice was
there. The handsome young fellow who
wished to get Oh, helped him with his
great coat, carried the shawl of a lady of
distinction and made himself useful and
delightful to every one. When l went
down1f;om the dinner 1 heard the voice
of the other young fellow Che had not
been asked,) who was talking with n
group of workingmen on the pavement.
They were returning from a meeting that
had been addressed by him and he was
answering some of their questions.
Nobody connected with the dinner gave
any thought whatever to number two
but ten years later the handsome young
fellow was still carrying lady's shawl
and helping man of fame with his great
coat. He was charming to have about
and had made Is hit in society; but the
other had got in his work in more
thorough and solid way. He had gone to
Congress and was the author of standard
works Oh the Few Political Economy, and
every body says he will yet himself be the
chief Justice
The young lady rose and said to the
philosopher, while her face glowed.
'Good-L y and thank you; am going by
myself to practice the lesson given me on
the violin by great master and anothtr
lesson just given me by greater.
Y Evening at The Baltimore Convention.
This was young women's evening, and
the spacious hall was filed to OVERLOOKING

see and hear the VS.. Promptly at $50
the sound of merry march turned all
faces toward the entrance, and in a few
minutes there filed down the aisle the
Woman College Glce Club of Baltimore.
The evening dresses of the students were
half hidden by the flowing college gown,
and the bright locks were crowned by the
stiff but not unbs coming college cap.
