Pick of the Jobs.

There are some very desirable jobs
in the world if a man could deliberate

that ruler could just ship his subjects

for others life would take on an un-

All of these jobs have their good
points, and any one who likes them
may take one Of them provided he can
get it, but the small boy has a diff

is that of the man who paints up the

The Rev. Washington GLADDEN. has
said-amcng other things-that Adam
couldn't become a millionaire. By
Adam he meant the father of the hui
man race, an unfortunate man against
whom many charges have been made
without fear of contradiction. But
while il is true that Adam had no bal
ance in the bank, and held neither
stocks nor bonds, he was really mon
arch of all he surveyed, and there is
no reason TO believe his eyesight was
poor. There never yet was a million
aire who had a private park that could
hold rush light TO Adams. Why, the
venerable old pio@eer's geological col
lection alone, far surpassed anything
in that line that has been seen since
to say nothing of the genealogical
treasures that adorned his very door
yard. When a man can claim every
thing in sight and without fear of dis
pute, it is difficult to see how he could
be reckoned as an individual Of mod
crate means.
Adam not millionaire, Mr.. Glad
den!
Why, he was the sole landed proprie-
tor of his time. He owned the earth.

The Desert Shower.

A cloud crept up Ger the desert;
And none was there 10 see;
To long for the spray on that desert way,
Or pray it's wa tiers free
No herb lay parched in the burning
To crave the cooling shower;
No Withered blade, 10 bless its shade
No eager, upturned flower.
Beyond I'm the land OF verdure,
Broad fields all thirsty lay,
And they sent cry TO the arching sky
To swing the cloud that way:
I'VE have fruits and grain that languish;
The desert needs you not
She Will drink your rain and will nothing
gain,
The cloud swung low Ger the desert,
Nor heard the green fields call,
But upon the sand Of the thirst-cursed
land
It let its waters fall.
The sands, as the fields had uttered,
Drank deep OF the potion cool,
Save one stony spot which drank IL not
But saved a tiny pool
Next day fainting. thrsting man,
Lost on that desert plain.
Voiced TO the air woe-fraught prayer
OF agony and pain.
And To- his prayer was answered,
For there, just at his feet
His life 10 save. the boon God gave,
The pool Of waters sweet.

MAN UNFIT TO BE A HERMIT.
Cannot Live Happily Alone with Ma
ture, independent of Race.

When he abandoned his hermitage
he did it, says the National Magazine,
In this fashion: Il had imagined |
could live happily alone with nature,
and largely independent of the rest OF
the human race. | couldn't. ! don't
believe anybody can Nature has
taught me better. ! found that the
birds went in pairs and in fOcks; that
plants and trees grew in families;
that ants live in colonies and tbs,
everything of its kind had a tendency
to live and grow together. But here
was, a single bit Of the human race,
trying to live alone and away from
my kind The birds and trees were
possibly glad Of my admiration for
them, but they said: You don't be-
long to us. You shouldn't try 10 be-
long to us. You belong to your own
race; go, join them again; cultivate
them. We live our own lives; you
can't get wholly :nto our lives. You're
not a bird. that You can live in nest
and on uncooked seeds; or a squirrel,
that can live in hole in a tree; or
Tree, IHdI Can IOOl llStll III OIG pace
and stay there, as you've been trying
to do. A hermit is one who tries to be
a tree and draw nourishment from one
spot, when he is really a great deal
more than a tree and must draw life
and recreation from many persons
and places. A bear is not so foolish
as to try to live among foxes; neither
should a man try to live entirely
among trees, because they cannot give
him all that he must have to get the
most out of life. So [ left my her
mitage, ] presume, forever, and carted
my bed and pots and pans to the
house of a f-'c1d perched on the brink
of the Pals opposite Tinkers."

WAS SCOTS LAST FRIEND.
Woman Just Dead in Iowa Who
PLAYED With His Children.

Perhaps the last person in the world
who could claim TO have known init
mately Sir Walter Scott died at Wood
bine, Iowa, few days ago, says the
New York Herald. She was Miss Mary
Bogie, aged ~ years at the time of
her death.
Her father, William Bogie, was with
Sir Walter for fifteen years, first as
gardener and afterwards as a sort of
business man and agent.
Miss Mary lived at Abbotsford down
to the death of Sir Walter in 1892, and
her people remained two years after
ward before migrating to America.
The stern little old Scotch lady never
married.
She played as a child with the chill
dren of the great Novelist, and espe-
cially loved Anne, the favorite daugh-
ter, while despising, with equal cor
diality, Sir Walter the younger, whom
she declared a cad and a scamp.
She had childish friendship for
Tom Moore, the Irish poet, who used
TO come to visit Sir Walter, but never
ceased regretting that twice when
Lord Byron came to Abbotsford to
visit the author of "Waverly" she
was away and did not see him. There
was a long and interesting train of
these young poets who came to the
castle at Abbotsford for advice and
always got it,
Miss Bogie in her later life had been
careful student of Scott and his life
and writings, and her collection of
relics, papers, etc, is believed to be Of
great value. 1t will probably be do
mated to the Iowa Historical society.
Miss Bogie's collection includes au-
tograph notes written by Sir Walter
to her father, her mother and one to
herself and a number of notes and let
ters written by Anne Scott.

During its term of service the names
OF 200 men were borne on the rolls of the
company. A large proportion of the re-

time to time were also from this county,
so that it preserved its character as a

Ashamed? Well, now, | rather guess
