The Human Riddle.

One of the strangest problems Of our
inexplicable nature is the choice Of
evil and the rejection of good. even
after long experience has proved that
misery and evil are synonymous! Vir-
tue. it is true. does not always exempt
from sorrow. but crime must ever be
wretchedness. Hope loses it's balm.
and fear acquires keener sting. The
present is anxiety. the past remorse.
the future is despair. and yet the way
ward man drinks the bitter cup when
the sweet is offered to him and launch
es his boat upon an angry sea. where
storms attend his course and ship
wreck terminates his voyage. rather
than glide down the smooth current OF
a tranquil stream where peace pilots
him on the way and happiness waits
him on the hore.-Exchange.

be most easily noticed by the woman

The Spinninu Mule,

copied the best features of the spin

and Arkwright. added to them some OF
his own and. after three months OF
anxious and secret experimenting pro.
duced the first spinning mule. so called
because it was u kind of hybrid be-
tween Hargreaves' jenny and Ark
wright's water frame. The raw ap-
prentice lad was. however. no match
in cunning for the cotton lords. who
soon found out the secret of his new
machine and shamelessly robbed him
Of the fruits of his ingenuity. Many
years afterward. it is true. they used
their influence to secure for him a par
