WORK.

That which is work for one man is
play for another. No street laborer
has ever worked as hard for a days
wages as colored student will to win
a football game or boat race in which
he is an almost unobserved factor.
And in the world of business what
differences are seen! One man goes to
his daily labor like slave to his task.
He may work faithfully, but without
zest or ambition. His only aim is to
earn the wages due at the end of the
week, or rather to get the wages
whether he earns them or not. His
companion is a cheerful workman who
thinks nothing about the wages be-
cause his mind is upon his work. He
wants to do something. If, as result
of his labors, he gets paid well and
good, but the pay is not the appermost
thing in his mind. He finds such
pleasure in work that it becomes play
to him, and all his days are days of
gladness. In part of Hamlet's &C.
centric remarks at the time he was
feigning insanity is bit of philosophy
Tint is worth considering. He has re-
marked that Denmark is one of the
worst of prisons Rosencrantz replies:
"We think not so,' whereupon Ham
let says, "Why, then, It's none to you,
for there is nothing either good or bad
but thinking makes it So" The
phrase if applied literally may easily
be shown to be absurd, and yet there
is in it the germ Of a philosophic truth.
If we brood upon the irksomeness of
labor, work becomes almos intolerable;
the thinking makes it so. If, on the
other hand, our thoughts are turned to
the results achieved, we work cheer
fully; labor becomes recreation-the
thinking makes it SO. Thinking can
not fill an empty stomach. We may
safely make that concession to the
Gradyrinds, who, being devoid of i'm
agination, insist upon facts; but with
out making any drafts upon magma
tion we may insist upon giving due
consideration to the fact established by
observation that the aspect of the chat-
acter of the work itself than upon the
mental attitude CT the laborer toward
1T. In this limited sense at least Ham
let is right Whether our daily labor
shall he wearisome task or recrea-
tion depends almost altogether upon
the way in which we regret it. We
can easily work ourselves up into a
mind in which every fresh task appears
to be an imposition, or into one where
in we becom, eager to have new and
higher duties presented to us. With
out carrying the illustration beyond
the bounds of sober reason, we may
safely say that each worker has within
his own control the elements of happi-
ness or misery. 1t would be quite
safe for anyone to accept Hamlet's 5
dictum and, believing that "there is
nothing either good or bad but think
ing makes it so,' determine that work
being inevitable he should make the
best of it, doing his daily task cheer
fully and accepting its results as the
sum Of good. Such worker would
certainly find favor in the eyes of his
employer and thus receive such re-
ward as would make his thinking true.

THE AWAKENING OF SPRING
BY EDWARD OCTAyUS FLAGG.
When first the genial breath of spring
Mid city walks enchants the sense,
What new delight its tidings bring
That stir emotions dull suspense!
1t makes us sigh for natures joys,
For notes of d-breast, gurglins stream,
When rarely any ruder noise
Is blended with the poets dream.
We long to hear the lowing kline,
Obedient to the milkmaid's CALL
The breezes seughing through the pine,
The tinklng of the waterfall.
When after winters heightened stay,
The tiresome city walls oppress,
At least It will cheer the coming day
The first spring token to caress.
1t makes us all forget the past
That drove us to the pent-up crowd
The care, the registering, and the din
Whose roar is constant as t is loud.
1t leads me to my rustic home
Which nestles in rustic bower
Where I-beneath the azure dome
May watch my garden hour ty hour.

Miss Daisy (who has spent her
whole summer in trying to elevate the
country people with whom she has
boarded: Good-by, Mr.. Stiles, l hope
my visit here hasn't been entirely
without good results. Former Stiles:
Sartin' not, sartin' not. You've learnt
a heap since you first come here; but
you was purity nigh the greenest one
we ever had on our hands.

MARCH AND THE LION.
SOMETHING BETTER THAN THE OLD SAW.

The saying about the lion and the
lamb in March often proves false, but
there is another and better one which
is literally true. When March comes
in and finds you taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla to purify, enrich and vitalize
your blood, you expect, when it goes
out, that it will leave you free from
that tired feeling and with none of the
boils, pimples and eruptions which
manifest themselves because of impure
blood in the spring. If you have not
already begun taking Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla for your spring medicine, we adj
wise you to begin to-day. We assure
you it will make you feel better all
through the coming summer.
