INDUSTRY AND PLUCK.

Young men often regret that their
opportunities for study are limited.
Compelled to toll ten hours day for
living, there seems no opportuni-
ty to read books, and much less to
follow any scientific pursuit. But
"where there's will there's a way"
If one is Determined to put the spare
minutes to good use, success in any
line is possible. Dogged industry is
sure to win.
The late Robert Dick, Of Scotland,
became distinguished botanist and
geologist, but he had received little
schooling, and at an early age, was
apprenticed to a baker. He follow
ed the business through his entire
life, yet Sir Roderick Murchison
brought him to notice, in public ad-
dress, in the following terms:
ST found in his library the busts
of Byron, Sir Walter Scott, and other
great poets. I Ialso fonnd there books,
carefully and beautifully bound,
which this man had been able to
purchase out of the savings of his
single bakery.
''I also fonnd that Robert Dick was
a profound botanist. I found to my
humiliation that this baker knew in
fnitely more of botanical science
ten times more-than did, and that
there were only some twenty or thir-
ty British plants that he had not col
lected. These specimens were all ar
ranged in most beautiful order, with
their respective name and habitats." d"
The hopelessness of any ones ac-
complishing anything without blnck
is illustrated by capital old East In
dian fable. A mouse that dwelt near
the abode of great magician was
kept in such constant distress of its
fear of cat, that the magician, taking
pity on it, turned it into cat itself.
Immediately it began to suffer from
fear of a dog, SO that the magician
turned it into a dog. Then it began
to suffer from fear of a tiger, and the
magician turned it into tiger. Then
it began to suffer from its fears of
huntsmen, and the magician, in dis
gust, said: "Be a mouse again. AS
you have only the heart of a mouse,
it is impossible to help you by giving
you the body of a noble animal" "
And the poor creature again became
a mouse.
1t is the same with mouse-heart-
ed man. He may be clothed with
the powers and placed in the position
of brave men, but he will always act
like mouse; and public opinion is
usually the great magician that final
ly says to such person: "Go back
to your obscurity again. You have
only the heart OF a mouse and it is
useless to try and make lion out of
you."
All of which proves that strength
alone knows and dares conflict weak
ness is below even defeat, and is born,

TO PREVENT PREMATURE BURIAL.

The undertaken finished his Blue
Points and turned to the lady on his
left with an engaged smile.
"In my business" he said, "some
strange things have to be done. So
many people, don't you know, are
afraid of being buried before life is
quite extinct. They map out, there
fore, odd precautionary measures to
be used upon their corpses, and L"
He looked impressive for a moment.
"I execute these measures.

say, almost common. have proba
bly,, to insure Deaths presence, done
that so times. Death was always
present, though, without the hatpin.
Otherwise I should have been a MUIR
derer."
He laughed little; then ate his
soup in silence. But during the fish
course he resumed:
"Old Mrs. Blank insisted on being
placed a month in lidless coffin in a
ventilated vault. I visised her there
every morning and evening. 1t was
most unpleasant ; but, then, it paid
me we'll.
"a physician as he was dying bade
his heirs to try 10 sesuscitate him by
applying to his corpse after death cleo
trical currents for "a hours. Ihelped
apply the currents. CHASTITY Ghast-
ly! The limbs jerked. The eyes
opened and closed. The mouth
twitched. But the man was dead"
The undertaken put an olive on the
lady's plate. MANY persons" he
said, thoughtfully, "are only crema-
ted because they fear that otherwise
they might be buried alive. A silly
fear. But it continues, and it express
es itself in strange ways. A roman
tic young wife, when she knew she
must die, asked that every hour for
two days after death her husband
take her in his arms and kiss her.
That, she thought, would cause the
ASH -choked life to fame up in her, if
anything could. But the husband, a
business man, with a head as hard as
nails, refused to do it. Another

But the lady interrupted. "All
this" she said, is very interesting,
but, really, for a dinner party, it is
quite-quite-"
"Well, no." the undertaken said
perhaps it isn't"

TRUE MARRIAGE.

Now is the time of year when, ac-
cording to Tennyson, "a young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
love-" and SO a consideration for a
moment of subject as old as man is
now in order. Not long ago DR..
Minot J. Savage, in the Church of
the Messiah, New York, gave ex-
preston to some ideas concerning the
marital relations which may strike the
superficial thinker as novel. But
after all they are rational, and will
appeal to the intelligent judgment Of
all who look deeper than the brief
ceremonial into the sacred relation
which it solemnizes. DR.. Savage
calls attention to the folly of imagin-
ing that people can go to a justice of
the peace or to minister, who acts
in this regard as a State official, and
be married. "The State never mar
ried anybody and never can," declar-
ed DIR. Savage. Elaborating this idea
a little further he said:
eff people do not marry them
selves, l care not what their relations
may be, they are not and cannot be
married. All the State does is to
recognize the fact, if it exists, and
surround it with legal guardianship
to protect the rights of the parties
concerned"
After all, there is nothing novel
about this view of marriage. Any
other conception of marriage is ira
tional. Persons may be legally and
physically joined in wedlock without
being married psychologically and
spiritually. The State has united
them in matrimonial bonds, but they
are not married. Their union is not
a marriage in the highest conception
of that term. 1t is plainly obvious,
if one stops to think, that the few
words of the preacher or the justice
of the peace cannot establish that
union of soul and spirit that is COM
pretended in DR.. Savage's under
standing of the marriage relationship.
The formalities of the law are insti-
tuted to protect the relationship in
the interest of society and the preser-
vation of the race, but they cannot
sanctify it. AS DR.. Savage says,
only love can do that. 1t follows,
therefore, as rational deduction from
this view that many couples are
married" in the eyes of the law that
are not married. The VOWS have
been spoken and the compact solem-
nized, but the union that represents
the exalted conception of the mar
riage relation does not exist. This
conception of marriage gives added
force to the plea of DIR. Savage and
many others for social reforms that
will make it more difficult for people
to get married. ."-LancaSte, ExGw-
