from all the accidents of fortune: that
personal nobleaess or ability which is in
dependent of extraneous circumstances,
and which can neither be given nor taken
away. Or old Robert of Gloucester may
answer for us: ''Vor the more that a
man con, the more worth he VS. Ability
is the test of worth as utility is the test of
virtue. He who can do nothing is worth
nothing; he who can do much shall be
our hero And whether he slay monsters
or dig sewers. whether he invent or con-
struct, whether he think or act. if he do
aught to purify human nature or to i'm
prove mankind materially, intellectually,
or morally, We will deem him worthy.
The proper perception and recognition
of real worth is not thing of small
moment. If we enthrone the false and
dishonour the true, we promote misery
and impede progress. 1t behooves US,
therefore, to know what worth is and
wherein it lies, and, having found it, to
do it reverence. Any other policy means
retrogression and disaster. If the Roman
Senate had on either occasion despised
Cincinnatus because their ENJOYS found
him at one time holding the plough and
at another dining on roast turnips, Rome
would probably have been destroyed. 1t
is not what man has, but what he is and
what he can do that must be the measure
of his worth. And he who cultivates
any kind of worth in himself OF promotes
| it in others, not only ennobles himself,
but adds to the common stock and be-
comes public benefactor
The majority OF people are careless of
worth and prefer the pursuit of pleasure
OF wealth. Hence their character resem-
bes that of the indifferent husband
apostrophised by his wife, when she said
''Too bad for blessing, too good for "a curse,
l wish from my soul, thou vert better or
worse"
There are others, however, few though
they be by comparison, who have chosen
the better part, and through good and
evil report have followed their high call
ings, of whom Outlines the world was
not worthy. In science and philosophy,
in poetry and art, and in every divine
walk, their footsteps may be traced
sometimes scaling the Hottest heights,
and at others journeying through the
humble valleys of truth. These men lived
not for themselves alone, but gave their
energies for mankind, and left the world
the better for their work. And whatever
the measure of their worth or the degree
of their success, or the station they occu-
pied, however high or however low,
whether as sages or simple citizens, their
lives alike taught;
who wickedly is wise, or madly brave,
Is but the more fool, the more a knave,
Who noble ends by noble means obtains,
Or failing, smiles in exile or in chains,
Like good Aurelius let him, reign, or bleed
l. Ike Socrates-that man is great indeed"

When young man asks a father for his
daughters hand in marriage, if the father
is wise one, he thinks of one thing equal
ly as important as the young mans morals,
social and business standing and intelli-
gence. A young man who suffers from ILL
health has no right to marry until his health
is restored. To do so is to commit crime
against the human race. While all diseases
may not be directly inherited, the constitu-
tional tendency TO acquire them is inner
tied. If man is a consumptive, the
chances are that his children will have
weak, understood lungs, and a predisposi-
ton to acquire the same disease.

matchmaking in Bangor.

The Experiment of last Summer gives Ex.
cellent Satisfaction and will be Repeated.
There will be more matchmaking ia
Bangor this summer. Chairman Porte,
OF the board of street engineers says that
he is pleased with the result Of the expe-
riment last season, which was made some
what under difficulties, and that he will
begin work about June on Main street,
1t is proposed this summer to macada-
mize the street from Cedar, where the
original strip ends, to the fire station in
the Second Ward, on the summit of the
heavy grade below Railroad street.
This plan includes the raising of the
heavy grade of Main street in its lowest
portion, between Cedar and Railroad
streets, in order to produce a level and
perfect condition for drainage.
In the work last summer granite was
used for the filling. The board is now in
correspondence with firms in various parts
OF the State regarding the supply of stone
for this year. A firm in Brooks Vile bid
to supply traprock, which, in the opinion
OF many, is superior to granite in endur-
ing quality.
The granite used last fall was purchas-
ed by the board from the Maine and New
Hampshire Co., in Portland, at 81. 50 per
ton, delivered in Bangor. It is believed
that this year the rock can be bought at
from % to so per cent. less than that
figure.
The work of 1897 cost the city ST. 40
per yard This year, according to Chair
man Porter's plans the price will be tigur-
ed on the whole cost, something like
81. 10 per yard. Granite paving costs
much more than this
Chairman Porter believes that the con
dition of the Main street strip is the best
argument in favor of continuing the
macadamizing plan. The road is the
only one in Bangor now in perfect condi-
ton. Commercial
