Grant Wilon la New York Observer. It is net an everday occurrence to mwt witb a well-preserved man of the world who is so cear a century old that be wore a beard Icrg before hia friend Kismarck: was bora. lie was living wnen süingwa was nrai elected to the Presidency of the United Etaies, and perfectly remembered the announceinent at Heval, Russia, of bis death, and farmed to read In the papers of that country the news of the election of hit sue cets-cr, Grover Cleveland, Born in the reign of the Empress Catherine, he knew hereon who wa reordered in the month of March, IfOl, and witnessed the coronation of his successors, Alezander I., Nicholas and Alex ander II., and to the writer expressed regret that the infirmities o! age prevented his attending in the summer of 1883 the coronation in Mosscow of the present Emperor. The venerable mm eaw the riie and fall tf the First Napoleon, and witnessed a Third Napoleon topple to hia rain, and a second Empire crumble into dost He was acquainted with the second, third, fourth ana fifth Chief Magistrates of our country, aad clearly recalled the gloom which settled over London when the news arrived of the cap turs of the British frigate Guerriere by the Constitution, and the rejoicing and firing of the Tower guns in the same city, when Broke' despatch wss received announcing the Shannon's victory over the always unlncky Chesapeake. He knew Biyard, tbe grandfather of the Secretary of State, and all the other signers of the Treaty of Ghent, ana heard the cannon of Napoleon and Wellington at Waterloo. Bis Excellency Count Nicholas Pahlen, tbe venerable man of whom I write, was born at Keval, May 21. 1783. Hia father, General Count Fahlen, was one of the great German nobles of tbe Province of Esthonla, who pos seised large estates on the south side of tbe Gulf ot Finland. At tbe period of tbe Kmperor Paul's assassination he was the Governor of St. Petersbnrgh, the dreaded Chief of Police, and the oul of tbe conspiracy that elevated Alexander to the throne of Ka.sia by strangling his father. After completing iis clanicst studies tbe jourg count accompanied an elder brother appolntd Minister to the United States in 1810, and spent two years with him in Washington, mingling in tbe best society of that city, and also of Baltimore. Philadelphia, New York and Bos too. InlSilhewa9, -with the Russian Minister, the guest for several days of Themas Jefferson at Montlsello, srd dortog tbe fame year the brothers visited John Adams at (Jaincj. He had vivid recol lciions cf President and Mrs. Mai'soa and of tteir pleasant dinners; of James Monroe and Albert Gallatin, as well ai of the other members of Malison's Cabinet, and was acquainted with all tbe prominent people of ttiit period, "most of whom " as he said to the writer In April, ISM, "have been dead for half .i cem.nry!" He remembered the magnificent distances and shabby, straggling botiSf s of Washington, and ' the beaatlfal pirls of Baltimore." "Are U ey still as lovely as tbey were seventy years ;tro?'' ujked the lively old tachelor of ninety-rive! Ucnnt 1'ahJen Kent from Washington to England in 1812, and soon became quits a Iton in London ssciety, and wrs wail acquainted with Piince Repent and a frequent guest at Devonshire aad Holland Houses He was well known to Byron, Scott, W shin gton Irving and Geothe, and often dined at Aptley Honte with the "Iron Dake." About 1820 he went to Paris, where his brother was Ambassador for many years, and in I82G proceeded to Italy. While sojourning at Venire in 138 he was summoned to Kussia by the Emperor Nicholas, bat did not long remain in his native land. When he reappeared in England he was again a persona grata at all "Mont Bianca' of the socal struggle, such as Stafford Home. Holland House, Devonshire House and Strawberry Hill, and his memory was richly stored with anecdotes ot Beau Brummell, Lady Jersey and other society magnates ot that day and generation. He was one of the most renowned of whist players, and when pissing throrgn Berlin or Vienna, on his way to Eustia, he wen the enormous sum of one hrndied thousand dollars from Prince John Ichlenstein at a single sitting. When I became acquainted with theCount he was physically weak, requiring the assistance of his valet to walk or rise from his chair, but his mental faculties were as clear and bright aa ever. He was, like bis friend John Bandolph, a master of sarcasm and inTective, of which characteristic the writer witnessed several instances. He was very tall ax slizbt, with long limbs and arms, his f guxe strongly resembling President Lincoln's. His free was much tiner, with much of the patrician in loos: and bearing, and with wonderfully bright and expressive blue eyes. His linguistic acquirements were to admirable that it was impossible to detect tbe slightest accent in his Eoglish, French, German or Italian. The old Count, who wrote a firm hand to the last, and without tbe aid of glasses, was fond of talking of the pstt, and he found in the writer an attentive listener, so that during several weeks which we passed under the same roof oa tbe Riviera in the spring of isvi, it was my eood fortune to hear many charming incidents of bygone personages and events, and much interesting information concerning people of tbe j resent day. Of Alei.nder III. he said: 4 The Emperar is probably the strongest man in Europe. When he was shown a few years ago a rod or bar of iron which had been bent by bis ancestor, Ptr the Great, he took hold of it ard straightened it out asain. He can twist a silver rouble into a r.ll with as little apparent ttTort as you would a visiting curd, srd for the amusement of his children ba? tis!ed kitchen pokers in coils abaut their necks. These astonishing statement were fully indorsed a few months later by tte American Minister at St Petershareh, who sdded to tbe foregoing at follows: "The l.uror is particularly food of wrestling with hi fons' tutor, a bTp, sturdy Eri'tifj wan. who Iscsaally vanquished, althjni r mcs bis utmost strengtn and skill. The er.ntest is usually concluded," said Jud.re Hurt. by tbe Emperor throwing him heallesg into a snowbank or over a fence. I do ret Wiave that even the eminent Bistonian. Mr. Sallirao, could succ93fally exchange . ..... .. pir,wi witn mm " V tat baa been your rule of life in regard to your health? I one day inquired of the eld Count, to which he msde answer: I reTer bad any. and never concerned myself about it. Although I have led a sedentary life, I have always been well, and I have row no malady except-the incurable one cf old r Se," For many yean Count Pahlen spent hia winters at Cannes. Among his frequent yisitors while we were ogetber were the Prince tt Wales, the Compte de Pari3, the Duke of Argyll, Mr. Gladstone, end many other men cf dutk-tfpn who vrera sojDn?nins that son at this most charmmgof Riviera resart. Lou. Xosaatb taii ol Pehlen a few montLj later, "Year oM friend Is one of the best informed men In Europe. He has never held any ofSce. but has spent hia long Ufa iu th capitals cf Europe, and has doubtless b?n serviceable to Busala as one of her secret . stnts," The late Dake of Wellington iu a latter to the writer, dated April, 18, says: "If Count Pahlen is the same maa that I tcsta knouTtry well, h is the ton of tbe Ccsnt who strmglad the Emperor Paul, aod n rzcz in urchin j perron. Ths wrjt of a

Bnfs'an ia that they are not permitted to live abroad unless tbey do eome dirty and disagreeable work for their Government. However, I can will aaderstand their permitting your venerable friend, who is intimate with our Prices, the Comte de Paris,' Argjll, Gladstone, and all the notabilities sow at Cannes, to live abroad for the pur poee of convincing the world that Bussians are not 'Bears.' Besides, the son of a regicide is unpleasant company at home." A letter just received from London contains the following lines: "Dear old Count Pahlen, aged nicety seven, has passed away at bis winter home in Cannes. Another and a most remarkable link with the past gone! His grardfther, whom he remembered, was a frier. d ct l ater the Great. How Strangs that tut cno life should intervene between vou and me and the Russian Emperor, who died one hundred and sixty years ago!" By this my correspondent means that Count Pahlen knew cnecf the contemporaries of Piter tfce Great, who was born more than two hundred years aeo. In eonctasion it may be most truthfully said of the venerable man: 'Of no distemper, of no blast he died. Bat fell like autumn fruit that mel'ocl long, Kvtn wondered at because he ütoj -1 no toon er. Fate Kerned to wind him up for four-score (and ten) years. Yet freshly ran he on six wintert more, Till like a clock worn out with eating time Ihe wheels of weary life at last stooJ still."

EY MOO'TJOY. I am always sorry to hear my brother )awyersabusa professional jurors. I have a deep sympathy for them. When-I hear a young eprfj of a lawyer ak an old broken down merchant tbe question, "Mr. Brown, have jou served on a jury during the last year," and, before half tbe words are uttered, pcorold Brown reaches convulsively for his hat under his chair, and starts for the do?r I pity Brown. I regret, too, the Inhuman ity of tbe profession. The worn out steamboat captain, the bankrupt commlsion merchant, the retired railroad conductor, tae shabby old assessor, the respectable German who owns his own house, but has no busi ness, the man wboss wife has a small lacome on which and the jury fees he live', the man who lost, his leg in a threshing ma chinethese are before me now as they are in person nearly every day in the jury box. Could there possibly be better material to decide caws? They are absolutely Impartial. They dare not decide case3 contrary to the right because their occupation would then be gene. Their r a pu cation is like Caesar's wife's. I appeal to the Indianapolis lr did cne cf them ever hear of a professional jnror having formed an opinion? Was ever an affidavit filed against a professional juror charging that he had been o tiered mosev. that be bad talked to a witness or Coun sel? Buch a thiDg is unbeard of. There is Linuse cf ever M&pr Gordnt'd attacking one of tneni because teaa a newspaper ontsiLing an account of tbemurde.. Toey nev er read newspapers As nun they may have incidentally Heard that a man and hia wife and their fonr children were found welter ing in their blood but aa jurors they knew no'hicc of the cafe Ooe thing always strikes me as marvelous the professional jaror b?.i to kin. there never were any parties in court to whom they are reia-! hv blood or marrirge. I have advissd h-.f-'A letigious persons to put up and marry the danehfera of proff actional jurore, zo aa to keep out of the courts. What wisdom they possess! Their verdicts hare built up Indiana an she has marched from a wildern us to an L.mpire! Toey are too old at the basinets to be caimed by lawyen. Tney have heard all our line bursts of eloouence to often, that, against their commrn sense, the stream trickles harmlessly away. How they temper justice with money I There is no use of laying to them that man who killed the adulterer or the seducer is gmilty of murder. They know better than that. They know that he Is not even guilty cf manslaughter. They lUten to the judge very lespecUally. He and they are old friends and mutually respect each other. Then tbey go out, and, after waiting long enough to get their dinner at tbe expense of the county, they come in with "not guilty as cnaiged in the ind'ctment." A righ'eou verdict rays all the press and the people. Shall we begrudge them their dinner? Is not the laborer worthy of his Jure? Will you muzzle tbe ox that treadeta out the gram, etc? As to impartality was ever a set of men so impartial? There was one old fellow-on tvnom in the rare cases in which he was not eligible to sit as juror, we always had to swear to the reason. He would try a case one term with some ru&ticj, who did what he never did in his life, hung the jnfy. The next term he would answer all the formal questions showing perfect qualification. It was necessary to show by the record that he bad served as a juior m the same case at the precedirg term. Then we had to let him to, and both sides were sorry. On one occasion when the inry went out this juror immedi ately moved that "we find for the plaintiff." A country man suggested that they should discuss the case a little. Tnereupon my friend immediately moved that "we find far the defendant." I'pon being remonstrated with by a "tenderfoot." he said he wanted to get home, he had chicken for dinner. I sub mit that there is no finer example in history of absolute impartiality. I onca tried a cia two days in a rural district. At the end of that time the jury were tent out, and, after being out some time, came into Court and were asked if they had agreed on a verdict. The foreman answered yea. and handed to the Clerk this verdict: "We, the jury, can't agree. ' Uculd a professional jury have ever done such a suiy act as that? l our pro fessional juror ij hie vour prore&uonal polltican. He is honest because his honesty i his capital.

There was one objection to the professional politician which in these modern days woall have operated ega st htm. Ue was aa "of fensive partisan." It he was a Democrat h was dved in the wool. Ha wai anti-tariff states' rights, and haled an Abolitionist. If he was a Republican every Democrat was a copperhead and a tre itor.

For tha matter, we, his successors. are ro wiser thaa he was. The great bulk of ct don't see any use in having elections at ail if toe same old cusses are to run the uovernncent. If we can't "put the rasoals out," and t, having won office by being "offensive partisans," we are to be turned out becaaee we continue to act on our principles, we will quit i olitics altogether and go Into tue one prolcnion which Is purer than even "civil service reform" that of the professional juror.

Youth's Companion. The Gorilla. IFraD'c Jiajnard, in Treasure-Trove. The gorilla s home is in the densest and loneheit parts of western Africa, in the deep valleys, on the rugged heights or on plateaux covered with mesnve voces. Although it is such a powetfol animal and has large and strocg teem, it lives entirely on vegetables, fruit, seeds, nnl?, and bananaleaves, it wandeia about in search ot trieje things, keeping always near a running stream. The gorilla dees not spend all of its time in the trees, but rest3 and sleeos on the ground leaning against a lo or tree. The joung ones sleep in the tree3 for Bifety, and go about in groups ef six or eight: their sense of hearing is so acute that it is very difficult for a hunter to get within gunshot. The sound of a gun irritates a gorilla to such a degree that unless it is killed it attacks the hunter with such violence that both himself and his weapon are in the r reatest danger. The gorilla uses its arms, feet and teeth for pro tection, end a single blow from its foot, which is armed with short, curved nails, is enough to fracture a man's skull. When a gorilla is attacked it utterjashort, jerking, and sharp bark, like an angry dog; this is succeeded by a low growling, resembling distant thunder. The echo of these roars is so deep, and the growling so strange and threatening that the bravest hunter j be come awed, a well directed ball, however. will at once kill one of these animals, and it dies as easily as a man. The female gorilla is very fond of its young, and at the approach of danger will not etop to attack the hunter, but at once runs away with the youDg gorillas clinging around her neck. Europeans have not the heart to kill so affectionate a mother, but the negroes do not have this scruple. The amearance of a eonlla is peculiar. Its eves are deeply buried beneath their arches: -a its aw3 are large, and its great cutting teeth are always expoeed to view. The neck is very short, the forehead fiat, the ears small and on a line with tbe eyes; the nose is a mere protuberance. The chest and shoulders are extrem' ly wide, and the immensely long muscular arms give the creature such strength that it can double up a gun-barrel like a piece of whalebone. Tha short legs make one of the characters which mostly distinguishes this animal from man. The hands are enormous in proportion, masive. thick and covered with hair; the foot is like the hand of a giant. The Africans have a superstitious fear of the gorillas, believing them to bo haunted with the spirits of their dead chief j. Tom'a Sophomore Year, (Youth's Companion. Tom stood In the middle of the room with his hands in his pockets, and, whistling softly, looking about him. It was a plain little room just under the roof, but It had been Tom's room ever since he had had one of his own, and he was attached to it. But in a day or two, so he was saying to himself, he was to leave it for nearly a year. There, near the head of the bed, stood hj trunk a funny old trunk that had belonged to his grandfather, and was covered with hairy hide fastened with brass nails. He had just been packing it, and a dance at its contents told where he was going to spend the coming year. r or besides his clothing might be seen green-covered Latin and Greek grammars. leathern-bound lex'cons, an algebra, a geom etry, a copy of Ltvy, and several other books which rp'.ke of a college courss. For three dj s later, at his college in a country town more than a hundred miles away, Tom Ssrgent intended to make his first appearance as a learned Sophoaiore. 'Just to thinkl" be sa'.d to himself. "It's only thrte dsyj cow, and then Til see aU the fellows. Won't we have some pow-wows? And won't we dig into the old classic and mathematics?'' and he gave a boyish shutils on tbe floor to give vent to his delight. just tcea he heard a step below his window, and looking oat, he saw his father entering the Tad on fcot. Why, father!'' cried Tom, suldenlv. "Did you waik all the way home? ' "Yes." "Why, where's Topsy?" Tops was Mr. Sargent's little b'a?k horse that he had bad tor years; and now that he was getting old, and growing heavier and more bulky as age crept on, he hal done but little walking in his business about town, but made Topsy his invariable csmpanion. "Where's Topsy, father?' aiked Tom again. "Well Tom," said his father. 1 tying down his knife and fork, "I suppose I've sold Topsy." "tfold Topsy!" cried Tern. "Did you know it, mother? Bnt Irs mother's face was answer enough. "Why, what for, father?" Tom continued, "ßold Topsy? And the new buggy you bought last year, to make your driving easy; have you lold that too?" "Yes, I've practically sold them both. The bargain isn't really closed, batJJoe Watson has taken them to try, to day, and if his offer's fair I shall take it." "Why, father," said Tom, in a remonstrating tone, as he brushed back his stiff hair. "Why, your business keeps you travelling between your shop and the folks that work for you, all the time, Yoj can't walk all that much," "I must cat down expenses." siid Mr 3argent. "I've run behind, this last year. There's no other way." Nothcg more was said. After dinner Tom went up to his room again, and sat down on a corner of he trunk. Topsy said! And the buggy svd! It did pot 6eem possible. And to think of his father, far from being vigorous now, yet forced to plod about continually over the rough road a. The backs of the grammars and lexicons,

smiling up at him from the trunk, made him

ur comfortable. Be rose, and shut down the covr ct th trunk, and stood for a long time with his hands in his pocket, looking out of the win dow There was a very pretty landscape ot ereen pastures and woodlands outside, but Tom taw nothing of it, His eyes seemed to be hxed on eome far away place beyond the bomon. After a while he turned and began to pace the rcom. Then he paused by his trunk,and opened it again, and looked in. What pleasant suggestions it offered, what promises it held cut! lbe rcom was small and plain, end Tom was by no means a good-looking boy. Bus steh boys are tometimes the heroes, aod euch rcoms the battle grounds of contests which make no noiee in tbe world, and which jet demand as much pluck and character in the victor, i has many a famous contest for a kingdom and a crown. Tom continued bis walking to and fro in the little rcom, whistling now and then, and freni time to time throwing himself into a cbair restle rsly. The afternoon wore away. The sun dropped till it seemed to rest an instant on a peak which Tom could see from his window, and then the rosm suddenly grew dark.' The change teemed to rouse Tom to a decision. He put on his hat. and a moment later was walking toward the center of the town. The next morning, when breakfast was ready, Tom as net on hand. But just as his father and mother were beginning to wonder where he could be, what should they tee but Tom, driving Topsy up to the door, and hitching her to the pos. "Tom," said his father, as he came in, "what dees this mean? ' "It mears you're going to keep Topiy, sir," answered Tom, going up to his father, and putting a band on each shoulder. "Father, I've thought it all over, and I've decided not to go back to college this year, but to stay at home and work. That will be enough saving, so that you can keep the horse and buggy, and I'll lay up what I earn, and pay my own way when I go back to college next year. I'm young enough to wait. So you musn't say a word. I'd rather do it, and it won't hurt me a bit," And it didn't hurt Tom. When his sopnomere year did begin, he was better able to appreciate the worth of the studies. He was happy too, in knowing that his pleasure and profit were gained witnout subtracting from thece of others. Written for the Bunday Sentinel. A Talk With the Oirle. I By Aunt JIarjorle.1 Dear girls (and boys too) let me speak a word to you in regard to the way we treat our mothers. There are few of you who realize how much your happiness and comfort depend on the dear one whese every thought and anxiety is to f vther your interebts and pleasures. Few of y-- , I think, realize how much you love your mother, until too late; eo accustomed are you, frru your childhood's earliest days, to see her sacrifice her own comfort and pleasure to yoars that you forget to look upon such actione as sacrifices and take it as only your natural right. How many of you are there who cen not look back and count numbers of times when the poor tired mother took upon her own shoulders tbe duties tbatfhe should have performed in order that you might go and spend a pleasant hcur with jour companions, even though jou could rot help but see the weary look in the patient eves even though you caught the suppressed Bigh which was not intended for your ears. But did you cot pass it over lightly in your thoughts? How many of you can not remember a time when mother eat up late at night when the household were in bed and you yourself, perhapB, wrapped in slumber, while she, with aching eyes and tired limbs stiched patiently away in order to finish the new dress which you were so anxious to wear on the morrow; end yet did you give her any word of endearment or thanks to cheer her loving heart? Have you not, even, on such occasions, spoken to her impatiently, it perhaps, the dress or garment did not meet with your approval in all respects? It has not been so great a while since a young lady, well known to the writer accompanied her mother to the train which was to carry her away on a short journey, and, when the bell rang for starting, in her hurry to descend from the car, and in her youthful thoughtlessness, she neglected to kiss her mother gcod-bye. That mother who had been the truest, kindest mother that human ever had ; who would have braved death a thcurand times for her careless child. Oh! the wistful, yearning look in the tender blue ejes!; Tbenexttime her eyes gazed on that rjDOthei's face it lay calm and peaceful in the mysterious sleep of death. Oh, what thoughts were hers at that moment! What would sue not have given for one last loving farewell k'es for one moment in which to pour out to her all that love and gratitude which then swelled her heart almost to bursting. How memories came rushing of times without cumber when the poor tired heart might have been cheered by an endearing wordwhen the poor tired shoulders might have been lightened of their load by a helping band. But now, alas, too late, too late, and in its anguish and remorse her saul cried out to its Gcd to be forgiven! Not until you are mothers yourselves will you fully realize the extent and unseltidhneas of a mother's love. Then and not till then you will fully xealiza how your mother watched over your cradle by night and day; how Ehe carried you in her aching arms aad soothed your pain without one thought of self; how she hung over your couch in sicknets and would not leave you until all danger was past; bow, through the long, weary vigils of the night, her love compassed you about and her care and tenderness held you back from the dark waters which were waiting to er gulf you. And then through all your childish troubles did she ever refuse to sympathize aad console did not mamma's kiss heal all your bumps and bruises? A mother's love, it seems to me, comes nearer the perfection of divine love than any other. Through all the sins, misdemeanors and disrespectful conduct of her children a mother pities, grieves, forgives and loves on. Girls, and boys too, pause a moment in your gay thoughtlessness and give your mind to this subject, and so conduct yourselves that when the hour comes in which you stand looking dovnfer the last time into that still face which has 83 often bright ened at your coming, into these closed eyes which have so often went with and for you, at thoee pale hands folded forever now, but which have so often bussed themselves for yocr comfort or smoothed your aching head in times past when you stand thus, and lock back into the years that are tone never to be recalled, it may be "without fear and without reproach."

One would think they had been built in your parlor study, . and were waiting to be launched. Hawthorne: Thank Providence for spring. The earth, and man himself by sympathy with his birth-place, wcnld be fir other than we find bim if life toiled wearily onward without this periodical infusion ot the primal spirit. Csrlyle: The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudd6r, a waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life, if it is only to kill and divide and sell oxen well, but have a purpose, and having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your wcik as God has given you. "And our dim eyes ask a beacon, and our weary fact a guide. And our hearts of all ll'e'a mysteries 6eek the meaning and the key; And a cross gleams o'er oar pathway.on it hangs the Crucified, . And He enrwered all our yearnings by the whisper 'Follow Me.'" "Smart" and "crisp" are the latest cant terms in Loudon, the former meaning fashtenable, "bih-toned," or exclusive, and tbe latter signifsing an arrival at the highest atex of "style."" Thus "smart" peaple are the "upper-ten," and a "crisp" woman is one clothed in the extremity of the mode. Theodore Parker once said, "Reform goes forward in the same way that a field is ploughed. The man who drives the team urges it on, while another holds to the plough tail, pulls back and bears dawn. By this means a deeper furrow is drawn; the soil is more thoroogbly broken and better prepared for an abundant crop." Miss Bhea has added to her repertory anew play called "The Power of Bove." It Is by Sardou, and wa acted in Paris under tbe name of "Piccolina." The play was produced for the first time in this country- at Baltimore on Saturday night, and it is reported that Miss Bhea wes well received. Mies Kbea enacts a bov in the piece, a young sculptor, and wears male apparel. The uncertainty of human judgment is often illustrated in the enormous success of books which publisher after publisher refused to publish. And in Paris tbey are talking of establishing an art gallery for the exhibition of pictures that have at different times been rejected from the ralon. It is tsid it will contain what afterwards proved to be some of the best pictures of the best artists. "For what we are about to receive, may the Lord make us truly thankful," devoutly murmured Dorenbury, sitting with folded hands at the dinner table. Then looking disdainfully over the dishes set before him, he snarled: "Gcoi gracious, Maria, how many times do you want me to tell you that I dont hanker for cabbage and corn beef more than three times in one week. Boston Globe. "When your father and your mother forsake you, Johnny, do you kuow who will take you up?" "Yes. sir," aid be. "And who?'' said the friend. "The police," was Johnny's answer. Parents will do well to consider the truth there is in this reply. The parent who is tco much engaged, or too seirieh, to look after the training of hi9 child, need not be surprised to see the child come to serious harm. Not Lost.

Why They are Barred, IBobEardette. "Wby can not women make good lawyers?" asks an exchange. WTe never gave this subject much thought, but we suppose it is bt cause they can't sit on the small of their backs, pile their feet on a table, spit half way aco?s the room into a box full of sawdust and charge $15 a minute for it. There may be some minor reasons in addition, but these appear to us to be the principal obstacles in the way to her success at the tar. Happiness. lliulwer Lytton. There is one way of attaining what we may term, if not utter, at least mortal happiness; it is this: A sincere and unreleting activity for the happiness of others. In that ore maxim Is concentrated whatever is noble in morality, sublime in religion, or ucswearable in truth. In that pursuit we have all scope for whatever is excellent In our hsartf, and none for the petty passions which our nature is beir to. FoolLti Preaching. I Boston Herald .

He waSes up in the morning with a wild "halloo," takes time by the forelcck with a determination that defies defeat, gees to bed with a bounce ttat ees the springs to clattering like a million castinets and in five minutes is Lound asleep gathering new strength tor the morrow. He opens doors wih a rush and closes tbem with a bang, or clones them not at all, leaving them quivering upon their trembling hinges with the suddenness of the shock dances en impromptu jig upon the slippery cel'ar doors to the imminent peril of his spinal column and shies his hat at the chickens until that article is reduced to a hopeless and melancholy fctate of demoralization He scales the fence when to enter by the gase would be far more easy, and climbs the pillars of the porch with a reckless disregard cf paint and patches. He gets up a perfect system of ventilation in tbe knees and seat of his knicke: oockers sows broadcast a daily crop of buttons, and keeps np a state of perpetual divorcement bstweeu his upper ahd nether garment. He stretches twine fro every door knob and picture ccrd, and when commanded to desist leaves little exasperating ends and loops dangling from every point. He ties papers upon the kitten's feet and gees wild with uproarious gUe at her frantic efforts to unshoe herself. He atks questions until he resolves himself into aperpetually active interrogation point, responding to each reply with a satisfied "Oh!" that is a volume of expression in itself and a revelation to his listeners. He blacks bis shoes in the family ash pile or the dust upon the beaten highway, and adds to their polish by a generous sprinkling at the family pump. When reminded that cleanliness is next to godliness, he dips his small brown hands ia tbe water, deposits toe soil

stains upon the clean end of the towel and with a hearty rub at his rosy freckled cheeks is off and away without a moment's warning. He goes a fishing the long day throngh, coming heme at nightfall with tired feet and empty stomach, dilapidated wardrobe and one forlorn little "mlnny" as the result of a whole day's sport. He is the possessor cf a quenchless anpetite ever ready to interview the cookie jar always wondering "what is there good to eat. and prowling round the pantry in search of what he may devour. Tne school bell rings and he dashes away to school with hair uncombed, Ms face unwrshed and multitudinous cat hairs clinging to his garments. He is sincerely repentant for discovered faults, promises hearty amendment and in the twinkling of an eye the promise is forgotten, it pBReth away like a tale that is told of a flower cut down at noon tide. Kager, restless and undaunted, he dashes on his merry way, compelling one to perpetual wathfulnets, and a perpetual wonder if the cares and dignities of life will ever sober his joyous face, slacken his bounding step or write their story in wrinkles on his brow. Have you seen "that bov" today? Oat under tbe summer aky and in tbe soft sunlight ; do you hear his merry lanph, the patter ct his busy feet or tbe sweet, faint echo of his childish songs? Tbe doors open and shut quietly enough now; the kitten slumbeis unmolested upon the sunny doorstep; the velocipede stands idly in its "stall" and tbe busy games are ended. ILe mellow sunbeams fall upon a new made grave; the small brown hands are folded and tbe dancing feet at rest. A solemn hush has settled down upon the home a silence fraught with tears and heavy with heartaches and all the world is desolate! Mf.s. L. M. Latham. Marion, Iowa. The Learned Professor and I. 1 Bob Burdette, 1 I met the professor on the train just west of Ann Arbor. The professor was a foot and a half taller than the Kagie man; he wore beautiful clothes and a splendid diamond, and the Eagle man felt greatly abashed in his presence. I waited, after the introduction, to hear the profersor speak some Greek, with Mr. George Riddle's pure Oxford pronunciation. The prelessor said : "Hain't raw much of your wrltin in Xawkeye lately?" I said, tlaldly, as I csnsliued the professor's Fourth Ward Greek: "No, I am writing exclusively for the Esele, now." "Booklyn Niggle?" said the professor. Abashed by his pure Achaian accent, I bashfully said that I now lined my beautiful atd instructive discourses with a pinion plucktd from tbe wing of the bird of the broad and sweeping wing whose eyrie was at 04 38 Fulton street, Brooklyn, inclusive. "Hah!" eaid the professor; "that's a good ioke. Comedown tonight and see iiisa Efe skate all over Limber Jim, the osiatchewan champion.'

When you feel tired, languid, wearied without exertion, the mind slow to act, and requiring great mental effort, you can rest sssured that your L' ver is not acting properly, and that nature requires assistance to help throw off impurities.
