Wsrk tor Work's Sake.
"l ike law of wo'k ran rar« ly l«-
evaded altogether. but (here are
mat y wja> • in which it# rigors may
b« cheated," writes that wiae coun
a lor of young men. the Rey. W,
J. Dawson. A yo th comes a* late
aa he cßn to his business, and leave#
as early as he can. He never re
garde it as necessary to take th
leaat intereet in his work. He does
aot think itwrth him while to mas
ter the principles of the business 111
which he is engaged. He conaistent
ly doe* as little work a* he can con
tent only to escape reprimand, but
never eager to win honorable praise.
If a period of emergency comes,,
when extra work is demanded of all
hand*, he submits with an illgrace.
grumbles at the injustice of hie fate,
and atill d ea aa little aa he can.
Everyone remembers the admir
able picture which George Eliot ha»
drawn -for us of Adam Bede in his
workmanship, how he is so inter
ested is his work that he goes on
with it~after the proper hour for
work has ceased, and how he ex
presses his contempt for the mai.
who drops his tools the moment the
clock Strikee. "Look tuere now "
•ays Adam, "1 can't abide to ace
men throw away their tools in thot
way, the minute the clock begins to
strike, as if they took no pleasure in
their "work, snd were afraid of dong
a stroke too much." whereupon
Mum Taft pleads that he la six-atid
4orty, and observes that when
Adam arrives at that mature age hi
will be not so "flush o' working foi
nought." Adam replies wrathfuily.
"I hate to see a man's arms drop
down aa if he was shot before the
clock s'fairly struck, just as if tfc'u
never a bit o* pride and delight 1 in
his work. The very grindstone 11 go
on turning a bit after you loose it''
George Eliot gives us the k ynot
to Adam's character in t>hia open
ing scene, ahe makes ua feel at onci
that he is a man full of manculim
vigor, energy, and honorty. s'uch
men are. ni:k
in the world. But the youth whi
takrs no pride or delight in Im
work foredoome himself to a life t.|
failure and' humiliation, Dislike «»l
work is the first stage in the eas\
way —The Wellapring.
Over sad Under.
In paddling down the .-quatool.
River, in New Brunswick one of a
jarty of hunters had an experience
which afforded much amusement
o his companions. In ' Around th
lamp-Fire,'' Mr. C. G, D. Roberts
tells the story:
The last few miles of the ?qua
took River were easy paddling,ssv-
that here and there a fallen tree
was in the way. In passing the>e
obstacles Stranion proved unlucky.
His canoe led the procesaion, with
himself stsnding erect, alert, polr
in hand, in the stern, while Queer
man aat lazily in the bow.
At length we saw shead of us H
tree truiik stretching across the
channel. By ducking our head*
down to the gunwal s there wa*
r >ora to pass under it But Stranion
triad a piece of gymnastics, like »
circus-rider jumping throug'i ri
hoop, fie attempted to step over the
tninV while the canoe was passing
upde it. In th's he partly sutfeetd
ad. Hegotone font over, accord
ing to cdculition, and landtd it
safely in the cai>K-. But as for t(i>
other—well, a malicious little pto
jacting branch took hold of it In
the moccasin, and held on with thV
innate pertinacity' 'of inanimate,
things, The caiio'e wouldn't wait,
so Stranion rempiiied behind wil>
fys captive fx*«. He d>op pd head
orst .into tfie water, whence w,«-
tifcoed him. ■ I . ,
The ftext tlifa • We came to'an
obstuctidtr Of ffiis'* kii.d StranWn
did not try to step over it. Hp stopp
ed to gorunder it, b ut another ma
licious branch now came- to,-the.
Mil. The branch was longj. strong
aild sharp: It reached dnwp„ seize.)
thejback nt Strsn ion's shirt, and
almost dragged him out'of; the " fit'
noe. Failing In this, for Stranion's
blond was up, it. ripped the shirt
open, and plowed a long red ftir-.

CONCERNING TEE LEGISLATURE.
_
ia aiwaya s pla e of in

is not le»s so tt»ia .time than uaual.
It ia not the towna-peopl alone, the
••tticer* of goverment or the mem

*re visitor from Overy section of
the Mate, the yitole conatit„ting a
gro> p worth whiiS-leeing and hear
ing. The reader j has fo luwed
the predl 'the Legislative
proceedinge'thda far and ie awar.
that there haa been little conclusive
Legislation upon large matters. Fi
nal action upon these ia generally
left for the cloftji g days of the ses
sion and it will be so in this caae.
VVtiat the final outcome will be no
one can forecast. Ihe principal aub
jecta of Outaide talk are liquor and
divorce, which seem to abaorb to a
large deg ee the Legialative mind
The body ia inclined to be liberal
in appropriationa to meritorious
subjects, aa for iiietai.ee the iusane
and other afflicted claaaes, the Con
federate vetera. a, the public achools
and the State's higher eductional in
atitutionft. lhta expreaaion of thia
liberality^will be limited by
11.e resources in aight, I'he a riter
oelieve* that in the wind-up it will
be found to have been a more con
servative legislature than many
people now think it. a lt ia to be re
membered that many fooliah in aa

six hours out of the twenty f"ur,
white others ntust have at leaat nine

Th length*of time which the av
erage person needs is usually put
at eight hours out of the twenty
four, or one of life. Young
children requires more and the
aged, aa a rale, leas.
There ia a kiad of spurious in
somnia, in which a person who
really needs only six hours, but
thinks he must have eight wakes
up early in the morning and toaaes
about for an hour or more, grumb
ling because he cannot sleep, and
begining to reguard himaelf aa the
victim of aome nervoua disorder.
Such a person should get up earlier
and spend theae two precious morn

hours his getting up st once on we

the hebit by quieting the nervous
unrest 1 sused by this tossing, and
the chances are that he will eoon
