From Judge.

FROM Judge.
II was an inspection trip over a rail-
roa beyond the Mississippi. and n
large number of the high-salaried men
were aboard. And among them was
one. whose name we will call Jim. who
did not get the salary he expected later
on. and who in the meanwhile a a
family to support. When a game OF
poker was announced he did not want
to play, but the others insisted. and he
went in for blood. For a time he lived
several years in an hour. but after a
while the sun began to shine through
the clouds and things came his way.
The play was pretty stin and was get
ting sitter. and Jim trembled in the
fear that the tide might turn again
and leave him helplesssly bankrupt.
There was only one thing TO do. and
that was to quit. Blu how? He could
not stand the usual charge of cold
feet" Something better than that was
wanted. The plan dawned upon him
and. excusing himself a moment NJ
got a telegraph blank and hurriedly
wrote:

Then he went back To the game and
nursed his pile with consummate pru-
dence. Finally the train reached Dash
town and Jim was rvous in spite of
himself; but finally he saw the boy
bringing In the message. and when ne
came 10 his side Jim was 50 immersed
in the game hat he pretended not 10
see him. At last. with magnificent dis
dain. he said: "oh. don't bother me.

And the boy broke the seal and read:

Thackeray ana oratory.
Laurence Hutton's London Letter.


One morning when his amanuensis called
upon him Ihackeray said. Am we'll? No
] am not well; have to make that con-
founded speech tonight" You need not
let that trouble you; you will be all right"
said Holder. Nonsense" Thackeray re-
piled, Il can't make a speech, confound it,
Why didn't they get Dickens tor take the
chair? He can make a speech. I'm no use. ="
And ii was so. He committed his speech 10
memory, forgot it on his legs. brought IL to
an abrupt conclusion, and although soon
afterwards Dickens proposed mis- health in
very flattering terms, Thackeray was too
miserable to even make an attempt to re-
deem his failure, and went home soon as
possible a miserable man. He could have
dictated a fine speech TO Holder without
stumbling, he could not in company even
speak the speech he had written and mem
orized."
There is an innate self-consciousness in
the English characterize fear of appearing
ridiculous that is fatal to many an oratort-
cal effort. Dickens was an exception TO the
rule of authors who are rarely good speak
ers. THE first time / took the chair at a
public dinner" said Dickens, Il felt just as
much confidence as If had done the same
thing a hundred times before" The success
Of Dickens is only the exception that proves
the rule. We are naturally modest peo-
pie. Mark Twain is impressed with this
He finds We are also very ancient-men-
toned In the Bible, Blessed are the meek
for they shall inherit the EARTH"

CHARLES THEODORE MuRRA,
The Woman who Tries business.

Fortnightly Review.
II a woman is ever to retain her present
position in the business world, she must
look TO 1T that she makes her value felt
She has many advantages, she is Dunctual,
palnstaking, patient of monotony amelable
to discipline, ready, and willing; indeed,
she errs as a rule rather from excess or
zeal than from its defect. But she has two
things to learn First, that her health is her
only capital, and secondly, that to rise above
mediocrity it is necessary to think for your
self For this last shortening her educa-
tors have much to answer for; but it cannot
be too clearly understood that in the rtrug-
gle for existence there is no room for the
typist who has not at any rate the intelli-
gence of the average newspaper compositor,
nor for the secretary who forgetS TO post
important letters, or incloseS the latter to
Dear. Mr.. A." in the envelope addressed
to Mrs. b." 1t is lapses of this sort which
mar at present so much of wOmens work,
and to which apparently all but the very
few are singularly liable, largely, fancy,
because they have been studiously taught TO
leave out of account physiological facts.
What wonder then If they insist upon ig-
noring the most elementary laws of health
and show a tendency to look upon eating
and drinking as a criminal form of self
indulgeI.ce? l don't say that proper sup
ply of blood to the brain would free the
world of folly, but it would be at least worth
trying whether more meat and the disap-
pearance of all prejudices against sofas
would not go 20 long way toward securing
that desirable contamination
