The Chambered Nautilus.
This is the ship of peart, which, poets feign. Hails the unshadowed main.— The venturous bark that flings On tha sweet summer wind Its purpled wings { In gulfs enchanted, where the Siren sins*. And coral reef* lie here. Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair. Its wetoe of living sauce no more unfurl; Wrecked U the ship of pearl! And every chambered cell, Where its dint, dreaming life was wont to dwelk As the frail tenant shaped his crowing shell. Before thee lies revealed,— Its irlsed celling rent. Us sunless crypt unsealed! Tear after year beheld the silent toll That spread his lustrous coil; Still, as the spiral grew. He left the past year's dwelling for the new, Stole with soft step its shining archway through, Built up Its idle door. Stretched in his last-found home and knew the old no mors. Thanks for the heavenly message brought by tbee. Child of the wandering sea. Cast from her lap, forlorn! From thy dead lips a clearer note Is bora Than ever Triton blew from wreathed horn! While on mine ear it rings. Through the deep cavea of thought I hear a voice that sings:— Build thee more stately mansions, O, my soul. As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last. Shut thee from ^caven with a dome more vast. Til! thou at length are free. Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea! —Oliver Wendell Holmes

An appalling accident like that in the Cambria company'* coal mine* at Johnstown leave* on the public the Impression that the miner'* life is chiefly put la peril by wholesale explosion.

A single great accident will alter thl* proportion for a year, but not for a decade.

This is disheartening, because ear* In the use of th* locked safety lamp and legislation requiring it In all mine# known as “Aery” when pillars are stolen will greatly reduce explosions. No care can prevent them altogether. Thl* leaves nearly two-thirda of the deaths In coal mines untouched. A very large share of these are due to the carelessness of mlnere. In moat mines the miners. after the fashion of all men face to face with death, constantly take risks prohibited by the regulations of the mine. This is not all.

man is he who can produce great effects by the use of the old implements and tho familiar methods. It Is doubtful whether th* attempt to develop new forms In literature ta really worth while. For always in making the attempt the man falls into the vice of self-consciousness. And that la fatal to real excellence. The writer who strives for the unususl is not far removed from the traveling dentist, with his long hair and gold buttons. Both are to a certain extent mere pretenders. The man with a message of any kind doe* not as a rule greatly trouble himself about the medium through which he conveys it to the world. And the more conscious he Is of his message, the less conscious Is he likely to be of himself. There are exceptions, of course, but it is generally true that the great man is a man of simplicity and naturalness. So it is that the mere coiner of phrases, the apostle of “smartness,” and, Indeed, the mere protestant against accepted beliefs and conventions, sre all of them likely to be nuisances. Their self-consciousness goes beyond their work. They affect peculiar manners, wear strange clothes, speak a jargon unintelligible to mere common people, give expression to the most remarkable opinions, and sometimes drift into a philosophy that shocks the moral seiise of people who are trying to govern their lives by the commonly accepted ethical standards. And the only reward they get. except, of course, money which sometimes flows in on them, is the applause of a few people like themselves, and a cheap notoriety that la a poor substitute for the admiration and respect of mankind. The power of good work is In no way dependent on freakishness — rather that is eign that the work Is not good. The lesson of simplicity Is specially needed in our day for the reason that there is such an easy tolerance for what is new and strange. People seem to forget that some things have, during the course of ages, been forever settled, and that when that is the case, progress In that direction Is wholly Impossible. So there Is much runr Ing after what is new, and too great a disposition to believe that what is old la out of date. And there Is an audience for the apostles of the strange, and worse than that, our people are often too easygoing to stand out against them. But they should not be allowed to have things altogether their own way. And those who are not fond of posing as discoverers, but are content to hold to th# old models which have for centuries delighted the worl<J, ought at least to try to make the world understand that men arc not genluaes becaus* they are fools, and that self-advertising is not a thing in which people who are sure of themselves or their cause are likely to indulge.

The subject of clerical vacations Is one about which there has been much discussion, some of It of a kind that is distinctly
not helpful. Thsrs
Clerical have alwa y* b ^ n „ »ome clergymen who Vacations seemed to Insist on
a somewhat pro-
tracted vacation each year as a right as something to which they were entitled because they were clergymen. It is this attitude that has provoked most of th# unkindly comment to which the par»ons have been subjected In this regard. Of course, no such claim as this can for a moment be allowed. We have come to see that all men need stated periods of rest and recreation, and that they de their work better because of them. Perhaps It would be safe to say that, no worker, whether clerical or lay. Is as a matter of right entitled to any more vacation than is necessary to keep him up to his task. But however this may be, there Is no reason for any distinction In this particular between the clergyman and hla lay brother. All workers should have vacations. So the clergyman should hav# his, not because he is a clergyman, but because he Is a worker. And If he finds that he can not abandon his work without injury to it, he should not think himself any worse off than the merchant or the lawyer who finds It impossible to get away when be would like to. In all these cases, the work, rather than the man, U the thing to be considered. Or If we consider the man. it should be with reference to his work. Opportunities, of course, come to some men and not to others. And those to whom they come sre not to be blamed by those to whom they do not come, for using them. No physician, for Instance, should complain because a hardworking clergyman finds it possible to take a vacation, even though he himself can not. So It seems well to measure men of all callings by the same standards.' And it is not a bad rule to require of all of them some sacrifice of ease, comfort and pleasure. The clergyman. If he really believes that he is called to the cur# of souls, can not object to the application of the great law of saerfflee which be himself preaches. There Is. of course, a vast

The United Mine Worker* ean not go far wrong In 'following such a leader, and in adhering to his advice th* miners will receive that measure of public sympathy which is absolutely necessary to the success of any struggle for “living wages and fair conditions of employment.” Whether the anthracite strike is such a atruggie, it Is not necessary to consider now. Mr. Mitchell originally opposed it as inopportune and unwise.—Chicago Post. The course of President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, since the beginning of ths present strike, has been such a* to insure him the respect of the public at large. His line of action In conducting the strike h** been marked by a fine conservatism and a lack of hasty thoughtlessness which speak well for his ability as a leader.
