GENIUS.

True genius is the child of Love and Labor
The life story of the great who have won
the highest rank among their fellow artists-all
demonstrate these facts; that deep love- with
passionate, never-satisfed, longing for expression
in the highest form-consttutes the very essence
OF genuine genius; that such love naturally weds
itself to endless Work-as the groom to the bride
he adores-and that only such union has
brought forth those glorious achievements in art
or literature whose worth grows with time and
increases with the progress of the age
If | have referred to the strange idea of the
popularity of dramatic genius which prevails
among the actors who most meet the mob it is
because many who listen to them fancy it is no
more difficult to write play than it is for this
type of actor to make that respectable appearance
in one which his easily enlarged head fances is
evidence of genius.
The animated suppose that the playwright like
this puppet, is born, not made that he has only
to seize his pen, and under the mighty inspiration
of his unearthly genius, he dash off a master
piece with the same needless ease as that dis
played by the critics in preparing the oracular
manifesto, which the confident and assertive anna

AN OLD FAVORlTE.

Way back in grandmothers libraries was
an old book called "Charotte Temple" which the
young person was not encouraged to read 1t was
sad story, and bad story but true story in
all its characters and events This probably gave
1t its great popularity for the literary quality of
the work was by no means of the highest Mis-
takes, too, beyond the authors ken crept into the
later editions, yet still book founded on fact
and dealing with actual characters and conditions
it had interest as kind of human document and
life history which has not permitted it to die
1T seems that "Charotte Temple is not the only
book written by the author, many others were
lost in the sea of oblivion which swallows up in
Vulnerable productions of the writer's for one that
is allowed to live But the history in this case
is settled to dot by an account of the Identical
persons who figured in the story and We're known

WHEN TO WIND A WATCH.
The Morning., Not the EUening, the Best Time
the KatcL1nnEer

The Morning, Not the Evening" the Best Time,
the Matchmaker Says
Most people," said the matchmaker, wind their
watches at night; but it would be better to wind
them in the morning. You see, we are liable to
go to bed at different hours, and so wind our
watch at irregular Intervals and it is better to
wind it regularly. Then are more liable to
forget to wind watch at night than in the
morning and SO may let it run down. But we are
pretty sure to get up in the morning at our regu-
lar hour, whatever the hour at which we went to
bed, and so by winding it then may insure
regularity of winding; and the watch is brought
to mind then, when we put it on for use, and we
are less likely to forget to wind it, So morning
is the best time to wind watch, if you can get
yourself into the habit of winding it then"
