One Trait of American Character.

Inere IS one trait Of our national
character which foreigners can never
comprehend, and that is our unsuitable
faith in our ability to "come out all
right in the end" We stand idly and
more or less indifferently by and allow
country to be pushed to the verge Of
financial or political precipice under
the impulse of some kind of popular
craze or another, entirely confident that
just before it slips over we can take
hold Of it and pull it back. We have
done this again and again, and nothing
seems to shake our faith in our ability
to repeat the operation whenever occa-
sion arises. 1t costs us enormously, not
only in reputation, but also in money,
and retards our growth and progress in
thousand ways, but nothing seems
likely to cure us Of the habit, unless it
be a great national calamity due to our
failing in some crisis to take alarm
quickly enough. Century.

In aching thought pondered deep
On life's mysterious maze,
And why the world must ever weep,
The wicked prosper In his ways

Still gazing on the maze,

To verdant heights light-touched by rays

Stretched out In beauteous plan,
And marked the sea of trouble ebb,
Revealing there that man and man

Let it not be supposed that riches bring
happiness. The owners are only happy
if they have some definite duty in life.
Many OF the wealthy toll away under
responsibilities that would crush the
inexperienced. But the indolent among
them are most miserable; the men out
of-sorts with themselves and their COM
rades. following evil to drown reflection,
and being of such little Importance to
the world when they pass away that
they become nothing more than worth
less names to occupy valuable space on
headstone; the women, wrapped up in
soul shrinking ambitions and devoured
by petty jealousies unworthy OF human
ity. They dress for dress sake, having
more worth without than there is
within, and strut their little day like
puppets on parade. No soul gets salts
faction from that sort of life, any more
than the prodigalcould find nourishment
in husks. So spend no time pining for a
condition of ease that has more dangers
than poverty.
/ tell you that see more happiness in
the faces of shop girls hurrying home
from work than in whole room full of
idling women. The girls toll, rest, take
their wages and look at the duty of life
with an air of independence. But the
idling fashionables are scarcely raised
above the standard OF a Turkish harem
they have been bartered for with dow
ries, bought with social prestige and
then shut up to an objectless life Of social
inanites. Happier than they, and freer
to choose fitting mate, is the poorest
child of toll, barefoot beneath the burn
ing sun.

How much we loved the wondrous wand
In childhood's story told,
Which, waved by the maeician's hand
Turned everything to gold!
And changed the cottage mean and low
Into palace great,
And made grimed Cinderella glow
In robes of royal state.
Yet we too have a magic wand,
Which stranger changes shows,
And makes the dreary desert sand
To blossom like rose.
So let us lift our power on high;
We may not, dare not shirk,
And move the very earth and sky,
BY simple, honest work.

Like speckled apple in a barrel Of

condition in Others and that only.
Loafers are enemies to society, for they
do not suffer the loss OF moral backbone
alone, but they flash the discovery before
their fellows that it is possible to
scramble through the world without
much effort. AS Mrs. Josephine Shaw
Lowell says: "The world is divided into
two great classes, not the rich and the
poor, but the workers and the idlers."
The frowsy beggar Of sturdy frame whn-
ing at your door, and the child OF the
wealthy, killing time in every conceivable
fashion, belong in the same class. Dirt
and daintiness, rags and responsibility
blend in one common downfall of all
that is best in human nature. The race
has hitherto gained solely by the sweat
OF the brow in some form or another,
and we who toll see no other way to
assure further progress. But these easy
goers tell us, in effect, that we are fools;
and they are always gaining fresh listen.
