T. T. beard a fellow growling the other day about blB ill luck, declaring that be never had balf a obance. The fact la that it would have made not the slightest difference if be bad a whole sbance—a plump one, too—every day, or every hour of every day of his life, for be was never ready to take advantage of any chanoe for anything good. It ia one thing to have a chance, and It ia julte another thing to be qualified to improve one when it cornea. More fail* urea come from lack of qualification than from lack of chances. The great buaineas of life, especially the early part of It, is to get ready for the chances when they come. Circumstances have mighty little power to make men who, by previous training have not fitted themselves to take advantage of the circu instances. An English apprentice rescued the daughter of hia master from drowning, and as a result gained the favor of bis master, in time was admitted to partnership and became very wealthy. .His skill at swimming, and readiness to risk bis life for another were necessary in order that he might improve the chanoe brought about by the young lady's danger. And besides this, he oould not have improved the ohanoe to secure business success, probably would not have had it, if his previous Industry and acquired business babita had not made him fit for the poaltioo offered bim. Who supposes that a lazy lout, or a disreputable fellow, simply because he was a good swimmer, and "oued the daughter, would have been offered the desirable position And if he had been offered it, who supposes that he would have been sueoessfal It took the young man years of Ir duatry and self denial and oharaoter making to get ready for his ohanoe. Wben.lt came he Improved it and won sucoess.

Who supposes that "our Dick," with all his natural ability, oould have so managed the Navy department as to save the country several millions dollars annually and win the confidence of all parties, but for bis previous training in justness and morals. He has been a good many years in getting ready for this obance to put' bis name high up on the roll of the most rfflclent and honest of oablnet officers. But when the obance came it fund him ready. He has simply carried into the Navy department the results of hla life-long habits and train* ing.

Ciroumstanoea make men, indeed! What oould the Revolution have made of Washington, If he had not already made himself the charaoter and habits wbioh enabled him to take advantage of the circumstance* In which he was plaoed? And Abraham Lincoln, too, made himself before the Rebellion came, and that oriaia gave him his chanoe. He waa ready for it, But suppose he had not been ready, what could olroum•stances have done for him? And to come back to the fellow wboae grumbling about not having half a chance set T. T. off, he himself has a brother who ia an excellent and suooessTal mechanic, and Is rapidly rising to a commanding position In his trade. He is not naturally aa bright as the brother who doea the growling. Rut he is industrious, a regular plod, and when he geta at anything he sticks like a bad charaoter. He never glvea up. Consequently he has made himself a first class mechanic, and a necessity in the shop. Has good wages, has a nice liule home and ia on the up track. The growler aaya this brother a lucky dog. His bread always fell butter aide up, while his always went that same able down. But what oould this lucky man have done with hia chanoes but for hia Industry and skill He isn't Industrious by chance. He Isn't good mechanic by chance. He h»i made himself both theae, and so prepared for his chanoea. The other fellow never got ready for a chance, and doea not know that he ever had one. Probably he never did have one. What ia the use in wasting chanoea u[ such as be 7 All study, all Industry, all acquired skill in any direction, all good hahlta of all sorts, all good character, all these are

preparation for the chanoes in life. Don't spend time watching lor ohanceeto succeed in life, nor cry or growl because they do not come, but keep putting in the best licks to get ready for them.

THE BALANCE OP TRADE. "The Mall of to day will probably perform the difllcu task of p-oving that a man Is getting rich when he gives out more than be gets back, In other words, when the balance of trade is in his favor."—Express.

In answer to the above we have only to refer to the figures f,iven by Secretary Sherman in his recent speech at Toledo. The Secretary ought be pretty good authority upon questions of this kind, and [presume even the Express will hardly accuse bim of making false statements when he refers to official statistics. The figures given by the Secretary show that our exports of cotton, iron, steel, copper, leather and some other articles, have increased nearly two fold in ten years, while our exports of provisions and agricultural Implements have Increased nearly three fold. In 1868 the total exportation of certain leading articles was f141,000,COO, while in 1878 it was C-Ci,i 0,t ). Meantime there has been a heavy falling off in our Imports. In 1873 we Imported 159,500,000 worth of iron and steel in 1878 we imported only |9,000,000. In 1879 the amount of our textile imports was 159,000.000 in 1878 It was but 185,000,000. And so with other articles. If we understand the position of the Express it is that these facts show that we are "giving out more than we are getting back," and are consequently growing poorer.. We think not. These facts show that America is competing in iron, steel and other manufactures with France, Switzerland and England that we are making for ourselves much of what we formerly purchased abroad, and pushing the sale of the products of our factories into the markets of the'old world. They show that we are selling more abroad and buying less, and if tbia is not "a debt-paying and trade-devel-oping process," as Secretary Sherman puts It, then we confess our utter ignorance of the whole subject. And if the Express can show that this is the way in which a country gets poor, we would advise it to get up "reformed" arithmetic immediately as it would doubf 1M. H.Y6 .N

PROFITS OP THE PEN."

Some contributors of the Atlantic Monthly have been giving their experiences as literary men and their stories are uot calculated to elate young authors to any great extent. It ia generally pretty well known that the literary career, save in exceptional instanoea, is not a highly remunerative one, but it is not generally understood how small the profits of tbe pen are even in the hands of men and women of reputation and ability. An eaatern journal, commenting on the subject, observes that if a writer could obtain admission to each of the dozen or more paying magazines of the oountry once a year he might gain an inoome of |70O or $800, butsqph lnck would be almost Impossible. There are few magazine writers who succeed in getting more than four or five artielea published in tbe course of a year and for these tbey are fortunate if they realize an averago of ffiO apiece. There must be set against this, too, the artioles whicb are objected on all hands and which, though requiring days of laborious investigation, prove an utter loss. Nor is tbe field of book-writing more promising. We are told that a book which reaches a sale of 10,000 oopies in two yean doea remarkably well and few attain suoh succera. If the book retails for fl.50 tbe author wlllreoelve about fifteen cents per volome, or about 9750 per year. But the number of writers in this country whose books reach this large scale are hardly a eoore. Most of our literary men like Bayard Taylor, have to resort to newspaper work for a regular subsistence and apend the better part of their energies In the drudgery of daily toil. The reports that are circulated periodically of the fabulous gains of noted authors are, for the most part, pure fictions, Dickens and Thackeray, with all their Immense popularity, were not rloh men and much of their money waa derived from reading and lecturing to the public. "If we could know the truth," says the writer above referred to,

uwe

shonld find that literary genius

of the highest order obtalna no such prizes as are won by talent in commerce, at the bar, and in some of the lucrative professions. If this is the truth, how hopeless is the esse of a literary person of Inferior abilities and no reputation who determines live by the pen !n 8UNXYSIDE.

How a favorite author becomes endeared.to tbe hearts of tbe people! Nothing Is written of Irving or Hawthorne but Is read with an eager interest. It is said tie old Dutch form house on tbe Hudson which Irving tranafbrnfod Into his comfortable bachelor home forty years ago, remains unchanged since tbe author* death. The library Is just aa be left It and on the table at which be wrote

His hat standf on the ball table where he left it nearly twenty years sgo, The house is occupied by the author's two nieces to whom he bequeathed it, and who have taken thia simple and delicate method of manifesting their devoted attachment to its former occupant.

THB St. Louia Republican tells how a fly at Carthage, Ills., broke np a happy family, and probably did more irreparable damage than any fly that ever flew since the saved pair of houseflles came out of the ark. Mr. and Mrs. James Howard bad just married, and gone to housekeeping. They were very happy until one of their flies dropped from the ceiling into Mr. Howard's coffee one morning at breakfast. He fished it out with a spoon and flung it on.

Mrs. How­

ard's plate. She dashed it back spunkily, and he returned the compliment with a rising spirit, not to be outdone playing "shoo-fly." So the fly was passed back and forth between the plates many times, until it was worn out and used up as a fly. Howard had the last toes, snd when Mrs. Howard couldn't'find enough of the fly to throw back she burst into tears, got her sun bonnet, daahed It on, and ran with might and main to her father's house, which was not far off. Howard went to his barn thinking over the very recent past, and trying to solve this riddle of woman. Preeently old Mr. Symonds, Mrs. Howard's father, came over in a wagon for hia daughter'a haggage, and took all her things awsy. She declares she couldn't stand such abuse, and that she will never live with her husband again. So they are strangers now. __________

A XEW trick haa been developed In Clarion county, Pa. The trick at its first playing paid, and will doubtless be played as leng r« It will pay in other parts of the country. It may therefore pay somebody to read thia paragraph. Oood man is a notion peddler, who had become acquainted with a thriving former named Logue. The peddler told the farmer that he had dreamed of a treasure on hia farm, and asked tbe farmer to go with htm while he Identified the spot. The dreamer did not wish to trespass, and the farmer humored the whim and went. Rambling in a wood* land, Goodman asw an oak which answered the appearance of a tree in hia vision* There was a hole in the tree about twenty feet up. It was ths hole oontslnlng the treasure of the \lslon. Neither man could olimb the tree to Inspect the hole. Goodman aaked ths farmer to help him out the tree down, promlalng to give him half the "find." The farmer reluctantly consented to the arrangement, and the tree was felled. When It fell there was a Jingle of coins out of the hole. Tbe tree bore 95,000 in silver by sctusl count. Goodman did not want to carry his balf in sliver on acoount of its weight. The farmer paid him 92.500 in greenbacka for his share, and took charge of all the coin. Tbe former cannot pass a dollar of the money —np good—and the peddler and his pack are gone from these parts.

THB Indianapolis Sentinel notes that the simple announcement, "no flowers," is getting to be common in connection with funeral notices in eastern papers. The absence of the huge masses, pillows, pillars, harps, crowns and other floral emblems is now as emphatic a token of refinement in the family of the deceased as their presence wss reckoned an evidence of wealth and poaitlon. Flowers on the eaaket now are very aimple, and are only .rom the most Immediate relatives of the deoeaaed.

A CO&BBSFONDEKT of the Cincinnati Enquirer gives the following acoount of the killing of Tom Boyd, In the Ripley county jail, on Tuesday morning of Isst week. The mob, numbering about a hundred, forced their way Into the jail: 'While thia scene wss in progress some one from tbe outside wss heard to say 'Shoot!' The answer from the man at the door waa,'I cant yet.' Then in an instant later they were Inside. 'Put down your hands,' muttered one of the blacked vigilante, as if afraid to attack Boyd with a revolver, while tbe naked victim showed any symptoms of fight. Boyd complied with the order, and then the fusillade began. Tbe first abot took effect under hia right arm and whirled his form slightly, offering his left breast ss a better target. A revolver waa plaeed so near this mark that In the discharge the akin of the victim waa badly powder-marked. Two shots followed the first In quick succession, and two more ba'la entered Boyd, one immediately above and one Immediately below theie.. nipnle. He still continued to whirl, final

SPURQEOtFS COS OREO A TIONS. On entering the church there was probably not more than two hundred persons in advance of us, snd these were all seated in the alales and on benches along ths walls, being, like ourselvee, strangers, and not holders of sests. We took similar seats, snd were told at five minutes of 11 we oould take any seats in tbe pews that were at that time vaoant. At aquarter of 11 ths penholders began to flock In, and when the hanAs of ths dock pointed flvs minntes or 11 there wss a general move all over the church for more desirable aeata in the pews. It being the bank holiday, many of the pewbolders were in tbe ooantry, and the stranjrsra hsd better chanoe than usual. We ascured excellent seats, and the front doors being simultaneously opened, tbe sests that we and others hsd vsoated wen soon filled. At 11 o'clock, when Mr. Spurgeon osme upon the roetrum, tbe whole church wss packed to overflowing, and tbe doora were closed and lockea. Tbe aisle seata were all filled and two Immense galleries one above tbo other, which surround the long and broad church botirosfon and behind tbe rostrum, wen not only packed, bat along the walls hundreds were standing, and even the stairway to the rostrum wss mssssd with peopla.

INDISCRETIONS OF HUSBANDS AND WIVJB8. ,i} Lakeside, in Indianapolis News.

Jealousy is the green-eyed monster which sll declaim, and especially against tboee who harbor Ifl presence hue as to husbanda and wives, it has ita growth mainly in their indiscreet sets, and is but the natural effect of a cause. We cannot ignore the foot of ita existence, nor the great sorrow it engenders. It blights with a pall of sadness all whom it touohes, and once thoroughly fastened upon the victim there is no relief but in destb.

It is a light, flippant retnsrk, too often made, "he is jealous of his wife," or, "she is jealous of her husband." Nobody eares for thia! but had the husband or wife a fever, friends would sympathize and be glad to give oomfort, and if possible give relief but it is only jealousy I and they rather delight in augmenting the misery than in dispelling the fears of the doubting one.

Jealousy rarely manifests itself without real or apparent cause. There is often no real apparent cause. There Is no real offense committed, but some thoughtless act of the husband or wife, which he or ahe would rather the other would not know, Is revealed In an unguarded moment, and then, for the first time, a aenaeof fear (can hardly call It a doubt) steals over the person that before knew no doubt! My wife—my husband Is true 1 but I can't understand thia 1 Oonfidenoe la only a little shaken —tbe seed, however, la planted—and in time will germinate and grow, filling the whole household| if not at once destroyed.

The happy assurance and trust is changed to a bare belief of purity. What would such an one not give to nave the perfect assurance of tbe !past restored. It may yet be done, but if delayed, will be as impossible ss to restore the dust on the injured wing of a butterfly.

Too many husbanda when from home on summer tours stroll during the warm evenings with other women than their wivee, and so married women accept tbe attention of gentlemen -and wander about for hours in the darkness, or take night rides with their frienda, or ait in some out of the way plsoe- where caresses may be exchanged, just for fan, without observation. No harm ia meant, and possibly no wrong is committed but what husband or wife, knowing such pleaaantrlesL can help thinking of what may have been, ana wishing that the circumatanoee had not existed whioh created the possibility. This possible wrong dispels perfect ooiifldeno.e The parties have done just aa wrong doers would have done, and who can know that tbey having gone In the way of temptation, even though not intending a wrong act, did not yield to the frailties of human nature. Men and women are no stronger now than in the time of David* "The way of temptation ia the way of folly 1" When men go to tbe fountain they drink if thirsty "Avoid every appearance of evil" la the only sure relief for husbands and wives if they would secure a continuance of per feet oonfidenoe whioh is ssssntisl to the hlgheat enjoyment of married life. The huaband must know that hia wife la above auspioion, and the wife that her husband is all to her but how can they thus know each other when the knowledge of some indiscreet sot is before them. A husband or wife wishing to retain thia perfect oonfidenoe mnat never go in tbe way those do who commit wrong, however strong the character but ing

1VU§I WWVSS0 MSV was* MM

and ability to reaiat temptation, ahould carefully avoid doing anythi that would give reason for doubts.

No wife or huabafld can afford to alight thia moat sasred feeling of tbe marital relation. Without perfect confidence in each other a married llfeia a hell with assurance perfect, a paradise. Don't atart in thia wrong way, with the feeling that my wife or my huaband won't care. If it was known by him or her, and no word spoken, be assured there is still an averse feeling in the heart of every true husband and wife. Then aa you now love wife or huaband. don't break the spell by an indiacreet drive or walk,or sitting In out-of-the-way places, nor by femilisritleo you would keep from your wife or huaband. Though you Intend no wrong, evil lurks behind the wall. Wives and huabanda want the perfect oonfidenoe of each other, and yet how lightly they guard the door against the destroyer.

Some say that wives and husbands ahould not be so touchy, that "perfect love eaateth out ftarr but avoid the fear, and you have perfect love. It is essler to hold love—confidence—than to regain it after it ia loat.

Let it be remembered that tbe moat deeirable and costly

If you oould have heard the purring rorrow, the aweet soothings and the tender apologies, all mingled with flattery to the really unhurt child, while tbe father stood by endeavoring to say that It was of no consequence f. all, which, of course, It was not, ss tbe little one was laughing and liked it, and I also have seen the eloquent upturned I, face of the stylish girl aa ahe said to the father, "Pray permit me to take that little one to Ita mamma and make my apologies to her," you would exclaim, "what great geniua la loet to the dra-1 matic world while this young woman Is performs only for limited audiences." While I sm writing (and tbe volume of $ Taine fell only five days sgo) I look from my window to see him lift the stylish girl into a saddle for a gallop with him through the twilight upon one of hia own auperb horses.
