There are some men whose failure to succeed in life is problem to others, as well as to themselves. They are indus trious, prudent and economical; yet after long life of striving, old age finds them still poor. They complain of i'll luck. They say fate is alway against them. But the fact is that they mis- carry because they have mistaken mere activity for energy. Coafounding two things essentially different, they have supposed that if they were always busy, they would be certain to be advancing their fortunes. They have forgotten that misdirected efforts is but waste of activity. The person who would sue ceed In life is like marksman firing at a target; if his shots miss the mark, they are waste of powder. So in the great game of life; what a man does must be made to count, or it might al most have been. left undone. Every body knows some one in his circle of friends, who, though always alert, has this want of energy. The distemper, if we may call it such, exhibits itself in various ways. In some cases the man has merely an executive faculty, when he should have directive one; in other language, he makes capital clerk, for himself, when he ought to do the think ing of the business. In other cases what is done is not done either at the right time or in the right way. En- ergy, correctly understood, is activity prOportioned to the end.

C.,l the law was very strict against what is termed games of chance" About dozen Of boys were detected playing nseven up' or "old sledge," for money, and the grand jury found a true bill against them. Jim Stureis was retained to defend them when the case came up, of course. The more he studied over the matter and looked into the evidence, the palmer it was he must lose case at last there was no getting around that painful fact. Those boys had certainly been betting mon ey on game of chance. Even public SYM pathy was reused in behalf of Sturgis. People said it was pity to see him mar his successful career with a big prominent case like this, which must go against him. -. But after several restless nights, an inspired idea flashed upon Sturgis, and he sprang out of bed delighted. He thought he saw his way through. The next day, he whispered around little among his clients and few friends, and when the case came up IN court ne ac- knowledged the seven up and the betting, and, as his sole defence, had the astounding efron- tery to put in the plea that old sledge was not agame of chance. There was the broadest sort of smile all over the faces of that sophisticated audience. The Judge smiled with the rest. But Sturgis maintained q countenance whose earnestness was even severe The opposite counsel tried to ridicule him out of his position, and did not succeed. The Judge iested in Ponderous Ju- dicial way about the thing, but did not move nov him. The matter was becoming grave. The Judge lost little of his patience, and said the joke had gone far enough. Jim Sturgis said he knew of no joke in his matter his clients could not be punished for indulging in what some people chose to con- slider game of chance, until it was proven that it was game of chance. q Judge and counsel said that would be an easy matter, and

II isa common remark of travellers that Portugal is $50 wears behind the rest of the world. The truth is that IN some respects Portugal is considerably i'm advance OF most even OF the progress i've regions of the Continent. her sys- of government is constitutional IN reall- tv as void as in name, and her people enjoy larger measure OF individual freedom than would considered safe either in Germany or in France. If there are fewer great fortunes IN Portu- cal than in some other countries, there appears to be a little downright poverty, and spirit OF contentment prevades all classes. A recent writer, Mr.. Crawford, offers a peculiarly attractive picture OF the state of the Portuguese workman or dav laborer. He is better fed than many of our middle classes, and his amusements present striking contrast 10 those of British wOrkmen. When his days work is done che does not lean against post and smoke a pipe, nor does he linger in the wine shop" II il be holiday or Sunday in rural district, he puts on clean shirt, with a gold or silver stud as neck fastening, and his newest nat, varying IN shape, according to the locality, but always OF black felt and of the kind which we see in pictures of Spanish life" He also "throws over his shoulders a black cloth cloak, with real gold or silver clasp, and takes in his hand his fayorlte OK coad. "and tall as himself, straight as an arrow, well-rounded and polished and bound with brass" Thus attired and with his guitar round his neck, he makes for the peasants drawing room, the nearest fashionable threshlng floor. " He finds here large company OF old and Young OF both sexes, come together for gossip, song and dance. II the dancing is not always graceful, and the singing is not particularly refined, both are the expression of bright and healthy temperament.
