Rain Asatohfui Guard of Mankind.

. Concerning the usefulness, the actual importance, of pain,, Dr. James Thompson Bixby says in an argument in behalf of good as
 the final goal, II fancy if any one of us were endowed with omnipo- tence for a quarter of an hour and allowed to improve the ere ative scheme according to his own
 idea, the very first edict We would issue would be an edict abOlish-
 ing all pain.' Then our reasoner continues: But such a reform- CT of natures laws would soon
 find himself in deeper trouble than ever. For unquestiOnably, sensations of pain are the Vigi- lant Watch-guards that now pre- serve the body from greater in- JurieS.' An example is cited. A laborer, through certain ncrv- Ous maladya, lost the sense of feeling in his feet: consequently when ilt his sleep he fell into a bed of quicklimc they were SO in- jured before he felt any pain that they had to be anputatrd. As far
 as we can see, it is only to these sensitive SemtinclS, the nerves. that animal organisms can be kept from dismembermcnl and the citadel of life saved from pre- mature destruction. It is the bangs of hunger in living things that quicken them tO the arcum- ulation of food, that spur us to eXertiOn, ambition and progress. and all the pleasures and good things linked with them. When We seek the deepest root of the grand tree of civilization, we find lit in pain. Mans weakness de- veloped in him a superior sensi- tiveness to suffering, and that sensitiveness stimulated in him the ciVilizing faculties, such as skill. enterprise, co-operation.

GOOD LOSERS.

When counted were, the recent votes we found (and were dis mayed that 5000 goats were stolen, lost OF strayed. And some who lost their treasured goats were ,grOuchy, sad and sore: dire threats came smoking from their thr0ats, they paved the ground and swure. We were the vic tims of clique, a faction or a ring. but we'll get even yet" they shriek: well grind our knives, by jing, and when the traitors, villains, knaves, themselves for office strive, their goats will fill dishonored graves, as sure as we're alive!" The also rams who talk like this but fill their friends with aches; for folks don't make a hit who hiss like locoed garter snakes. Some losers go around as though they felt relief, and from their lips comes no sound iof mourning or of grief. Our goats are gone, so let them go!" eXcIaim these dauntless men: but when we have the time, you know, we'll round them up again. Some other day the peoples votes in our behalf may fall; then will come back our Wand'ring goats, with whiskers, horns and all. :" The people mark the joyous sport, and on some future day when he their influence shall court, their votes will come this way.
