Balance.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

The ancient teachers and cosmogra-
pliers Of the east taught that the earth
rested upon the back of a huge ele-
plant. and the elephant stood upon a
tortoise; what the tortoise was supported
by 'they didn't just say"
But we have discovered that whoever
created this world proceeded upon an
entirely different principle. Our planet
rests on nothing at all. It's stability, by
virtue Of which we build houses that are
not always tumbling down. depends not
upon any rock foundation nor flying but
tress, but wholly upon balance.
Our earth is spinning like top and
whirling like sling. and is nicely bal
anced between the two opposing forces,
centripetal and centrifugal.
The principle Of safety is balance. and
that not only Of the planet but of every
thing on the planet, both material and
spiritual.
OF food we must take neither too much
nor too little. Overexercise will kill as
certainly as not enough. Too much or
too little light will ruin the eyes, and
ears go deaf from too little as well as
too loud sounds. Our whole life is a
passage over q narrow bridge; to go to
either side too far is to fall and perish.
1t is the same in the realm of morals.
All essential goodness and worthiness is
not fixed, but consists in a certain equi-
librium.
The supreme command to man is Ito
love his neighbor as himself" The last

The river schooner S. L. Bowen is at
Benefits boatyard for repair work to
her hull above the water line and for
such other work as is necessary to put

new planks are being put in the hull Of
the vessel, but it is expected that the
work will be completed today and the
schooner will leave here at once in or
der to get down the river, load back to
this city and return home before freezing

The unnamed flattie which has been
out on the railway at Regan's boatyard
for several days past receiving repairs to
her hull under water was put overheard
yesterday. but still is lying at the boat
yard to receive minor repairs above wa
ter preparatory to going into service. 1t
is stated that the vessel will be used in
the oyster running trade from the Poto-
mac beds to the market here.
1t has been found necessary to renew
a large portion Of one side of the District
lighter, which sank about ten days ago
while on the way to Occoquan with a load
Of coal for the workhouse, and which was
raised and taken out on Deans railway
at Alexandria for repairs. The extensive
work to be done to the vessel will keep it

was increased by him. and she bought the
small estate of Maintenon near the court
