Wisely.Directed Ambition.

Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, says an
exchange, tells the story of his visit to
the mechanical department of Cornell
University. He found at the head of
it Professor Morris, who claimed him
as a superior officer, giving as a reason
that he was an old,time worker on the
New York Central railroad.
Chow did you get there?" asked
Depew.
IL fred on the New York Central.
/ stood on the footboard as an engi-
neer on the Central. While locomo-
tive engineer, made up my mind to
get an education. l studied at night
and fitted myself for Union College,
running all the time with my locomo-
tive.
~ procured books and attended, as
far as possible, the lectures and recita-
tions. kept up with my class, and on
the day of graduation / left my locomo-
tive, washed up, put on the gown and
cap, delivered my thesis, and received
my diplomas, put the gown and cap in
the closet, put on my working. shirt,
got on my engine, and made my usual
run that day"
Then" says Depew, 81 knew how
he became Professor Morris" That
spirit will cause any man to rise any
where, and in any calling. 1t is am
btion, but it is ambition wisely directed,
aiming not at the goal-for such an
ambition produces envy, scheming, dis
content and weakness-but bravely and
cheerily aiming at oneself, seeking to
make oneself fitted for higher work.
When this is accomplished the oppor-
tunity for higher work is sure to come.

Readily Explained.

A Washington man is accustomed
to using what he considers very
choice product of the distillcr's art.
His preference for the liquor in Dues
tion has been approved by number
of connoisseurs in such matters, and
be began to suspect that colored
man in his employ had added his in
dorsement in a manner tacit but sim
cere. The compliment was high one,
for the colored man had long been en-
ployed in the culinary department,
and he had a sense of smell and
kcenness of taste which many gour-
met might envy. The demijohn which
contained the liquor emptied with such
surprising rapidity that its proprietor
concluded to adopt radical measures.
In the absence of direct proof he de-
cided to try strategy. He allowed
the demijohn to become empty, and,
instead of filling it again, put the Ii
quor in bottles in his cupboard and
labeled them "poison. The word
was printed in heavy, black letters,
and skull and crossbones we're added
of size calculated to make an i'm
preston on the most stolid. He kept
an eye on the cupboard, too, and one
night as he came home from the thea
ter, he caught the colored servant in
the act. Seizing the bottle in mock
terror, the employer exclaimed:
"Great heavens! Do you know
what you are doing? Don't you see
that what that bottle containsis mark
ed poison?''
''Tain't poison, sub. ] Sc been fool
ed ag'in. -
Glow dared you tamper with it,
whether you knew it was poison or
not?"

New York Shocks Kansas.

Kansas people may be repudiators in
the eyes of New York newspaper writer's,
but no such horrible indictment was ever
brought against the moral character of a
community as the statement of DR.. Park
hurst that there are $50, 900 faithless wives
and husbands in New York city alone.
No good thing can come from commu-
nifty where such depravity is long per-
mitted to exist. 1t is to be hoped that
DIR. Parkhursts statement is not true, or
at least is greatly exaggerated. 1t is hard
to believe that New York is such Sodom
as this foremost pastor of that city has
portrayed it.
These $50, 900 women and men who are
living outside the pale of decency and
self-respect does not include the 10000
women who are even lower in the scale
ofmorality than they. In round mum bers
then, there are 100000 people in New
York who have no moral character. This
is nearly one-fifth of the antire population
of the city. When wesubtract from these
figures the children, it leaves fully one
half the people of New York city who are
not unspotted.
These figures arc almost beyond belief,
although the Rev. Mr.. Parkhurst is re-.
garded as truthful man and i well
posted man as well.
Even "Kansas anarchist" may have
some cause to hold up his head alongside
of the scarlet record of New York city.
It is also said that these defilers OF the
homo belong to the upper classes-that is
the classes who arc hurting all this de-
nunciaLion at Kansas.
Well, gentlemen aud ladies' of New
York, hadn't you better call halt?
Clean cut your own 96o sans DHo6s %

be fools, but we ere not ean.-Tor5
