KEEPPKQQ1NO A WA YT Lite to "one demnition grind," was aald by one of DMm' heroes, we believe. Certain it is that the phrase is a most spplioable one. Who, in hto moments of weariness baa not felt the force of It Who has not seme time murmured at it? One day fbllowa another with the as me old routine of care snd toil. Night bring sleep, and day brings the inevitable taak again, to be gone through with in the prescribed and usual way, and to be real ned again st nlgbt fill with tbe onstomery sigh of satiafeetlon. Days glide Into weeka, weeka into months, and months into years, and atill we keep "pegging away." If we prosper, we "peg away all the same, snd !r reverses overtske ns, ws most "peg away" all the harder. Onr sorrows send as to oar work In graver moods, snd oar joys and successes in gsyorones, bat grave or gay, cheered or aaddened, hopeful or dejected, there la no scape fiem tbe oomroon doom— we must toil on to tbe end.

The apparent exceptions to tbe rale, the fortunate onee on whom birth and rank have conferred Immunity from effort, are acarcoly better off, though constantly the objects of envy. To tbev., pleasures »row stale by repetition, snd life grows burdened from tbe merelsck of inoentivee to t-xertion. Standing aloof from their struggling fellows, they not unfrequently find tnoredissatisfaction in their satiety and esse, than we in our turmoil snd trisls. They must drift through purposeless years, powerless to stay tbe hand of time, Just as we do through more stirring aud fruitful ones, and, in tbe main, bear tbeir trivial annoyances with less philosophy than more luckless men do the most serious tnlsfortuues.

The fact is, none but slavish minds dream of pleasure in absolute repose. Our strength and faculties were never intended to be wasted in indolence, and In their energetic exercise we should seek to derive our highest gratification. Undue rest is more destructive to tbe physical an 1 ntsl being tbsn excessive ex rtion. We rust fester than we wear out. A dozen men die from idleness and its concomitants where one is worked to death." Edwin Forrest, although a millionaire, refused to give up bis profession to the last moment. Even bis advanced age had no effect in seconding tbe arguments ef his friends.

He had observed," he said, "that sbips decay faster iu the docks tbsn on the ocean," and he was right. We do not believe in "crowning a lile of labor with an age ot isse." An active mind preys rpon itself when withdrawn from its accustomed pursuits. Every msn should purpose to "die in the harness," and be will live all tbe longer for sticking to bis resolution.

All living U-iugs bsve duties to perform by virtue of their existence. None are so rich and favored bat that fields worthy of their endowments can be fbnnd. Whether w* have brains or money we should account for all that is given as. And we can achieve nothing lasting and substantial aave by incessant labor. We must go at our duties systematically and continue them perseveringly. Wmust submit to the fetters of routine just as the intelligent itoldier submits to tbe requirements of discipline, that our aims may be more speedily and perfectly accomplished. The "demnition grind" that Dickens' hero rebelled sgainst is, after all, the chief essentisl to success. Tbe tnan who puts his shonlder to the wheel must keep it there till his wagon is eut of tbe mire. To "1 up" for a moment is to have to begin the work over again. People who yield to an oocaslonsi impulse of disgust and break "out of tbe traces" sre nut long in wishing themselves back again, or In encountering obstacles tbey would never have met had tbey possessed more tenacity of purpose. The ability to patiently endurw the regular recurrence of dally usks Is »ne or the greatest snd bsppf ai faculties anyone esn be gifted with. The strong man runs his raos through to (he end—it is the faint hearted who a by a id

Our New Hotel.

THE8T. CLAIR HO U6N.

It to a duty aa well aa a pleasure for ue to chronicle the notabl* eras in the history of Our beautiful Prairie City and we record with eapcetet pride th* opening of tbe St. Clair Hotel, which occur red laat Monday. .n-

A brief acoount of this new enterprise just inaugurated ao favorably will doubtless be entertaining to our tsders.

The hotel accommodations In Torre Haute have for several years been inadequate to tbe requirements of our rapidly growing city. Instead of developing in proportion to our population, there are, In feet, fewer hotels In operation to-day than we had ten years ago. In conseqaenoe of thle tbe travelling public baa been seriously Inconvenienced, snd tbere bss beens strong snd Incresslng demsnd for another hotel. This was observed by Commissioner Fellenser, resulting in tbe purchase by bim, some six month* ago, of the warerooms st th* northesst corner of Main and 8econd streets, generally known as the "Early Block." Extensivo alterations were at once made an entire new front In modern style being the moet coneplcuoua external Improvement. A lease of the premises for a term of years waa made to Trouiy A Jonea, for hotel purpoeee, and tbe work of lnatde adaptation to tbe requirements of a first-class house began In earnest, tbe entire improvements requiring an outlay of net leas than twenty-five thoussnd dollars, and effecting a transformation of the old property that borders on tho mnglcal.

Upon the ground floor on Main street are the Offloe, Washroom, Baggsge Room, Bsr snd Billiard Parlor. Tbeeo are sll appropriately furnished and handsomely decorated the last named room Is covered with an elegant Brussete carpet. A covered passage-way leads from the rear of tbe Office to tbe spacious dining-rooms fronting on Second etreet. These sre connected by large arohes and furnished with all the modern appointments for convenience and oomfort. The kitchen arrangements are flrst-class in every respect, presided over by Mr. A. LaPlerre, who is sn srtlst in cullnsry affairs, snd evidently exercises tbe moet scrupulous care In the msnsgement of (bis Important department. System, nestm ss snd clesnllnees seem to be his watch-words.

The lsrge cooking-rang*', stfsmera snd other utensils were tarnished by S. R. Henderson. In the resr of the kitchen sre conveniently located the laundry and water-cloaets and adjoining tbe dining-rooms on Second etrret sre tbe bsrber-shof nd storage-room.

Tbere are three entrances to the first story, which Is reached by easy flight* of stairs on Second snd on Mslastreete, and through the offloe, the litter communicating with large and pleassnt reading-room the ssme sltte ss ths office undorneatb, which Is bsndsomely carpeted. Tbe walla and celling sre bung with fresco paper from tbe bouse of Broksw Brothers.

Tbe psrlor fronts on Main and OUBBCond street*, and Is el*gsntly fitted with Brueeele osrpet, lsce curtsins, latnbrequlns, piano, mirror and other fine furniture.

in.

The bed-chambers number between sixty snd seventy. Tbey are very spscious, sveraglng more than double the size of ordinary hotel rooms, and sre all famished completely snd tastefully. A large number are carpeted with Brussels tho balsnce with excellent Ingrains. All of tbe bed-rooms, wltb tbe exception of tbose on tbe fourth floor, sro beautifully papered. Tbe furniture to of flrst-rste quality and neatest designs, walnut being tbe prevailing material. Mr. E. I).
