THE END OF THE WOULD, An old French prophecy declare* that the world will come to an end when

Easter Sunday falls on St. Mark's day, and this wilt take place In ihe year 1888. So says a currant newspaper item.

Ever since the introduction of Chrlstianity the wOrtd haaUttlti treated to rach prophetic nonsense, and there fa no doubt but that in

some

localities there

"will be some unessinees aa the day mentioned approaches. It is no wonder that there should hsve been a Millerlte excitement when one considers the felth of stouter minds in the conflagration of the globe, and the cremation of millions of sinners after the ascension of the saints. Sdence demonstrates that our earth is very ancient, and that its forces, far from being spent, are in the infancy of their being. Man himself is just beginning to evolve into a higher life of mentality and physical beauty, and it is sheer nonsense te imagine that Divine

1

Wisdom will suddenly stop that progression of which He ia the author. If anything was needed to prove the men tal pi ogres—Ion of man, and a necessity for it, we have only to look to the inmentions which hare been made In the present century The human race has not yet had a fair start in life, and the 5 comparatively recent date of the inventlons of greatest utility prove It. The word Invention is used in its popular sense, the proper one would be discovery, for min but Invents a machine to which is spplied a natural law always in :, existence, and which he b«s simply discovered. The nineteenth century has given us wonderful insight Into the laws of health, of geology, of astronomy, of $ medicine, of steam, of electricity, and a hundred other things ef inferior importanoe. The coming century will astonish those young beings who are now rooked id their cradles and shall have grown to be old men, That thing balled

ts

Use will then be found to just have be* gun, and the baby of to day will look baok upon us and smile at our fogytein *1 and at our boasts of superior enllghtenment. One of the great errors of our I time is to continually pester ourselves about the after life, Instead of making the best of the life that ia. We live In I the present, we should act In the present, resting assured that a good life will •:i bring Its reward without regard to time. I No doubt many thousands of the French people will believe that the world will come to an end In the year 1886. There

1

will be no scarcity of fools to help them to such credulity, and when the year passes away they will be astonished at their exceeding gullibility. The end of the world I Nonsense, there Is no end that any human being can prophecy. Man has just setup housekeeping, and has no Idea of a mausoleum In store tot him.

THB official statement of the govern* ment shows that the exoeseof exports over Imports during the eleven months ending June 1st, was 1246^21,122, the largest balance of trade la fovor ef the United States that has appeared far many years. For the same period of the year preceding, the balanoe in our fovor was over 1100,000,000 leas than the sum above stated. There eeald hi no surer sign of reviving prosperity than this. It shows that our vast crops have been going to foreign lands and have brought us bask a quarter of a billion of gold In less than year. Let grumblers and despondenta contemplate these figures and persist In long frees if they can.

DON'T throw your orange peel and banana skins on the sidewalk. There died a few days ago at Hartford, Oonn. a man of some meana clouded in telleot, who for the last thirty years had done nothiag—his considerable meana allowing him to Uve In leisure—but walk up and down the streets, removing carefully

from

the sidewalks all stray

pleoea of orange peel and banana skin. In early Ufe his lady love broke her leg .= by slipping on a piece of orange peel, and eventually died from the effects of the aoddent. This affected his mind and led to his unselfish occupation for

MM net of his Ufa.

This condition ofj&airs is vastly to the advantage of the United States. The immense standing armiea of Europe area heavy drain upon the Industries of those countries. The cost of feeding and clothing half a million of men who produce absolutely nothing, constitutes severe tax pn the national industry. The Roman empire had no qtynd»ng army until Coeaar called It into being. Its mission wss tbe. protection of the empire from invadlng foes, and for a time it accomplished thia result^ but in the end it arrogated'all power to itself and imposed such an enormous tax upon the producing element of the nation, that the very foundations of, the nsttn«i prosperity were eaten away and the gmnd structure tumbled t$,ibe ground. A small army, a cheap admin istration of the government, and every dtisen engaged in useful and productive employment these are the sources of a nation's wealth. All these- our own country possesses and with our exhsttstletsaoiTafid unbounded minerar wealth no limit can be set to our prosperity, if only peace and harmony prevail and domeetic turbulence is hushed. .4

Industrious farm laborer can earn by working two years, a thoughtful writer says: "Such facta tempt many to try to get into the professions, or to llve ln some way, by their wits. The result Is a horde of would-be brain workers who havent the brains. The great majority of our race must depend on their muscles rather than their brains or their hands nther than their heads or their tongues. And the practical inquiry Is: How shall manual labor be made most easy, pleasant and remunerative? The answer I would give is Let the laborer put as much brains and heart with his hands ss he can. Let him try to understand his work thoroughly, however menial it ia, and let him manlleet an interest in It."

This ia what The Man has often urged. The thorough, sklUfel workman will always find Work to do and will be paid well for doing It. There are a great many people who are willing to pay well for good work if only they oan be sure of getting it when they do pay for it, and it la those who puah themsolves Into the front rank of tbsir calling, whatever It Is, that always have plenty of work In their ahopa and of the comforte of life In their housea. Let It not be forgotten that it la for store respectable to be a first class ahoemaker than a fourth-rate lawyer. When a man does good work he has a right to be proud of lt,|and when he Is proud of his work his neighbors will all xeapeet the workman, The man who caree nothing for hia work, but only for the money it brings him, will be a mere drudge all his life.

OUR BOYS, K. Y. Graphic.

Advertise for a clerk or a book keeper, occupations overefeocked to repletion, and the majority of the applicants are Americana. Advertlee for a gardener, a practical farmer, blacksmith or uoason and tlm idiaiices are that the more nu merous will be of foreign birth.

We have among ua a theory that aU honest labor is honorable. But in practice this is reversed. Few Americans in prosperous clrcumstsnoes will make their sons skilled as osrpfnters, black smiths, mssons, or in scores ot ether so-called minor callings. The "honor" sppertainlng to a trade of almost any deecription exists onlyas a seaU mental

he combine with it a talent for politics, joins the legislative or political rings, becomes a contractor and buys his fellow craftsmen at the' lowest psmlbls rate, as he would machines.

The average American fether covets for hia son position asa ruler and statesman. Every American .boy starts In life for the presidency. The average duration ot a generation te said to be thirty odd yean, in such period only seven and one-half American boys may attsin the "higheat office In the gift of the people." The rest must be content with suoh minor portions as govsrnors, senators, assemblymen, collectors, custom house weighers or oonatablaa.

The great gate and chief entranoe to the goal at Washington te the law. Entered on the lists as a lawyer and the course te open for the American boy. But the machinists, gardeners, masons, blacksmiths snd carpenters may onlv stand without the ropes Mid look on. It 1s said that the practical Prince Albert made each of his sons learn a trade. The Prince ot Walea has, it te reported, great akill as a shoemaker. Should be through revolution, become a wanderer, as were Louis Phllllppe and Louis Napoleon at one period of their lives, be will have hia cobblership to fall back on. Here he might, as the faahionable Fifth Avenue shoemaker, accumulate a fortune.

But there is Uttle use In advising the American fether to have hia son taught a trade. There Is nttle encouragement foi the young man to enter on any calling which amy stint blm from the smile of fashionable sodety.

OSCtLATION.

We have gleat leapect for the opinions uf our able contemporary, the Sun. mid are rlwaya grieved when we see it fall Into an error on any impwtant sntrieci. The misleading of three or four mlluoq* of readers upon a graat laaao Is a fearful responsibility. And yet there was muoh in aleading and able article of UM Sun resterday, upon IdaBteg. to make the .udldons grieve. Ws shall confine ourselvea to a single blunder in the most neiions df the many questions dlscuaaed to that article.

Itseems that ConnecUcut girl hM written to the editor of the Sun to ask,

among

eome trivial Inquiries toudilng uette and ral^pon, this Im

Is Importalaay to

ant queadon "Is it proper for kin a gentleman good night when she has been carriage riding with him? As the discussion of this point oomss home to the business and bosomaof thousands of both sexes throughout the country,

It be lightly nor flippantly

carried on. In this jutt erred, We makehatie tossy. It has trostod thff snfrjffflt with MsMstomsry elevation of tone and severe doamstism of tMnper, but in

doing

ewould

soft basf been

guilty of one of the worst mistakes ever made by an ^influential American journal. Itsays: "A ladyjnayjtteaagenUlemsu after shrbasbeen carrlage^rtaing with him under pertain^ dMbmsUn but they am very fow. If she teen

MarMN^tltfc iiw^'had better refuse to do it, for that te foolish maiden who throws away her kisses." Now, the first of fhes* three jwntences is merely general iihtefotontof what follows in detail. The lsst ia a new form of thepld saying thaUhej&tdt |hst falls w&butsWlu/ li niber too md ia*. The jUiddle sebteoCe -icontalne the gist of the Sun's wbole creed ahd teaching onkiasing after carriage rid|ng, and thlsmslntkins that a glrrmta* only ktes near relatlvea and the man to whom she tsto be engsged to be married. As for klaslng near relatives in Such drcumstsnces, that is simply nonsense. Mere relatives dont want to ktes her. The Sun's rale te therefore practically narrowed down to this—'that a girl may kiss her accepted lover and no one elae. If this rule were adopted, how many

have accepted lovers to kiaST an engagement oomo au after a mere formal acquaintance, not the result of a gradually growing Intimacy In which menundwomen learn to understand, by carriage riding .and otherwise, and confide in one another The Sun, to be conaiatent, must extend its doctrine a little further, and maintain

that a girl should not go out "carriage riding*'except with a near realaUve of the man to whom she Hi engsged. This te ths prindple sdopted for the

Gount

overnment of the young ladles at Holyoke seminary, and we recommend to the consideration of our contemporary the answer of a live! pupil to the preceptress who undertoo to enforce the rule against her. The young lady asked permission to drive out with a gentleman. "Yon know the regulations of the institution," was the reply. "Is be your brother?" "No." "Areyou engaged to him?" "No, but I expect to be before I get back." That answer carried the day, and there 1s much philosophy in it touching the whole subject of courtship, klasing and carriage riding.—N. Y. World.

"EXCUSE MY GLO VE." From the Indianapolis Herald We frequently bear the above apologetic expression from the lipe of immature young gentlemen. The young man haa just begun to wear plughate Jaunt dried shirts, "store clothes" and kid gloves—of the latter being extremely vain. He has. aomebow and somewhere, Imbibed extraordinary views In regard to etiquette, among which |s|tbe notion that in hand shaking nothing should Intervene between the naked skin of the shaker and that of the shakee. The immature young person is somewhat "off" in thia matter. When a man takee the woman he lovee by the hand, he quite naturally reeents the

non-conducting

aowe

rat skin which Inter­

cepts the electric thrill that would otherwise tingle his finger tl|ie. But for the ordinary hand shaking of everyday life hete apt to regard the glove In a favorable light. The Immature young man, however, doee not know tkhL and so, upon being introduced to a fellow creature, he extends his flipper (which looks like a canvased ham,) with the remark, "Excuae my glove!" Tbeapol-

answers a three-fold purpjee. It that he Is not Ignorant of manners it indulges hte lariness, and !i calls spedal attention to hte pet article of apparel, the No. IS glove Into which he has eqaeesed his No. 23 paw. Now
