"I rather think so myself," mused Louise Lorton, Jeanne Taylor's married sister. "He seems to be almost as attentive to yon as he is to Alice; it may be only her singing which attracts him. What are yoa going to wear tonight, Jeanne?" "Hy white tissue, but I know if s all vain to think anything about it, if she amg, at that concert.

Jeanne, hurriedly, setting down her class. "It is eettiiur late; drink up

Aliee sat down, and that was the last she remembered distinctly, for she fell into a deep doze, and soon after the two sisters laid her limp form npon the

Claude Moltrop assisted J&ogar l-or-

The Folly ef Overwork.
There is always a cry going up that
overwork is sure to kill meutaliy or
tiTsicallv. and yet it is not heeded
Men who have commanded success by 'lcessant application are apt to think ' hat they can endure forever. Others : nay break down, they say, but, like the orook, there is no let or tindranoe to their ability to keep on. They cannot
even dry nn in their own estimation.
What folly this is. There is a limit to all humnn effort, and no one can over
step the line set by nature as the iotm
darv of his powers without going to
pieces generally, like the one-horse shay, which Dr. Holmes has made immortal.
If one man oonld accomplish everything,
there would be no necessity for more
than one human being upon the globe,
and a nice sociable time he would have of it laboring to acquire a fortune that
he could not spend. We are here to
assist one another, not to wear ourselves out before our time, and, though we
cannot escape from the curse of earning our bread by the sweat of our brows, we need not commit slow suicide, nor make our burdens unbearable either
through ambition or a love of gold.
The world will get on quite as wen when we are out of it, though we may think our work is indispensable; and
we will be forgotten, except Dy onr im
mediate friends, almost as soon as pur toes are turned up to the roots of the
daisies.
The late Wilbur F. Storey, known
far and wide as the editor of tho Chi
cago Times, a forcible and aggressive writer and a far-seeing editor in many
respects, was a victim of overwork,
First, he broke down mentally, and the management of his business affairs had to be taken out of his hands by legal
means: and recently he passed away,
at an aire, sixty-five, when most men
are ttill robust and active. He made
many ventures before he was victorious over adverse circumstances, but after he was successful he did not know how to
enjoy the fruits of his triumphs. He continued in the editorial harness until he was compelled to get out of it,, and he has left a large property for his heirs
to quarrel over.
Others will enjoy what he accumu
lated at the sacrifice of mind ana body,
and if he had left them nothing, they would probably revere his memory
quite as much as they do now. If he had remembered the "homely old prov
erb, "There is no pocket in a shroud,
and (riven himself time for needed rea-
reatiou, he might now be hale and hearty among his fellow-men. He

on the continent it is 4. But in those days they went to bod at sundown or soon after ii, while we moderns think 9 o'clock earlv. When the tower clock
has ceased striking 5 all rise at a signal given by the superior, from the places where they have, been kneeling and nrnitinir in ihn efiancel and tho matin
service' begins." t)n ordinary days it
lasts an hour and a quarter, ana tias not much about it of ceremony or ritual that could oatoh tho eye of an onlooker. But on festivals it is an almost gay scene, and must begin earlier on account of its great protraction. Oil
such occasions a large number aro arrayed in cotie and alb; the organ accompanies tho chant, and sometimes
the voices oi Doys mingie wim tue heavier tones of the monks. Theso little ohoristeis are selected from the abbey school. Trime" is chanted at 7 :30; the conventical mass that is,
tho publio mans of tho day is sung at
9 o'clock, and at this mass tho whole school assists. On festivals this is the great celebration of the day, and is more or less solemn in proportion to
the greatness of the feast; a sermon often accompanies it The next time that the community are called to the church is for the office of "none," and
after this, at , comes the evening
office or vespers. This, like the mass,
is sang with organ accompaniment,
and these two, with matins, make up
the more solemn of the daily services, at which all aro most stringently bound to be present The office of "compline," the closing prayer of the day, recited at 8 :30, makes the sixth and
last time that the monks assemble in
the church. They spend at least three
hours and a half every day in this
choral dutv on festivals much more:
it is one of the principal employments of monastic life. The order of the day
never varies, with the single exception that on Sundays and very great festivals the high mass' takes place at 10 o'clock, for the convenience of those "outsiders"
who frequent the abbey church and
who miKht think 9 o'clock rather early.
The remainder of the day is filled up in divers ways, in the discharge of the
various occupations which each has as
sismed to him. From the end of com
pline till the end of prime ot the following morning is a time of the strictest silence and reflection; not a word
must be spoken far anything short of the gravest necessity, and no work or business is done. It is the time for the nitrhtlv rest, and for meditation and
nrivate nraver. But when prime is fin
ished, the active work of tho day begins. Foremost among this is the work of teachint;: for the monks of these
days still maintain their ancient tradi
tion of education, and the school is an
almost integral part of a monastic es tablishmont ' Bill Syo Abroad,
We arrived in Borne last night via the Bock Island ltciad, and an old cat
tle Mend of mine from North Park,
who is staying hero, invited me to come and visit him dunnsc my stay in the

town and telling mn all about it. Before the Christian era Borne was ruled by kings, who were elected for lifo or during good behavior. This was done to curtail campaign expenses, so that
the surplus funds could be frittered
awav on bread and other Roman deli
cacies. There was also a senate and
a college of ponti&cea and two-inch aiururs. who exolaiiied the will of the
gods. These augurs became at last a great bore (Etruscan relio found near a Boman corral). For many years there was a squabble between the patricians and the plebeians. The patricians were oeopfe who made a Rood deal of
money, and whose blue-blooded daugh-'

Tho most distinguished student of Kiugs (Columbiai College, Alexander Hamilton, matriculated in 1774. At that time all men's minds were deeply moved by tho great question of the Revolution. President Cooper sided with the mothur country, talking and writing with all his power against the freedom of the colonies. The tide of indignation rising higher and higher against such doctrines, it was finally determined to hold a public meeting ia
the open fields just above Dey street on the 6th of July, 1774, for the purpose of protesting against the acts of tho authorities. Young Hamilton was urged to address the meeting, and as he closed a brilliant and impassioned address, the cry of surprise, "It is a collegian," with which his youthful appearance was received, gave way to loud expressions of wonder and applause. Young Hamilton presently crossed swords, or pens, with his college pr-esident, who could not believe at first ( Hat so young a man could ba so strong a, pamphleteer.

In the meantime another student, who had preceded the throngs had warned the president of his danger just in time to save him.

The deplorable state of the press in Field's time may be realized from the fact that Bishop Usher, on his way to preach at Paul's Cross, asked at a stationer's for a copy of the- Bible, and on examining it found to him astonishment that the text from which he was about to preach was not
