The Use of Working.

Lewl*ton Journal. “What is the use of a man’s working himself to death in order to get a living?” No use, if he lives simply to eat, but if he eats to live and if he works till he dies, intelligently, busily, wisely, he lives to the highesWpurpose; for idleness is not only the parent of vice, Imt one •of the worst of tire “rices. Store people are killed by loafiug than by any other vice. To one man whe overworks there are scores who overloat, overeat and overdrink. Then our prayer should be, not less work, but less drudgery, more variety, more scope for the mind, the body and the heart. So, if we work ourselves to death in getting a living we die in a good cause aud may hope for a busy and a useful post mortem life/ fr6m which dudes and all other tramps are constitutionally debarred. Emanuel Baughman, of Somerset couuty, Pa., predicts tnat we are to have a heavy snow-storm in May and two .heavy frosts in June. As Wiggins, of Canada, has been very quiet of late Baughman fills a long-felt want.
