There Is banlly any largo CRtaMi'sh nmnts of any kind whether it bo a Mwtpsper office, a manufactory or a trade establishment that has fiot ap plications constantly from young men who want something to do. It is often iminful to see the hopeless look upon the applicants faces as they turn away disappointed ; and the scene becoinos mora painful when it is roflocted that many of thorn doubtless have capacity lor remunerative work, and would faithfully attend to it if they had the eLance. The truth is that the world is slow to tale any man entirely on trust. The greatest singers, the greatest painters, the greatest writers, have had to con vince the world that it had need of them before it was willing to give them a subsistence. 80 true is this that it might almost be laid down as an axiom of success that it is only to be won by a hard struggle. It tokos the attrition of poverty to bring out what is bright sat in a man. It may be a hardship, but it seems to be a law of the social economy, and, being a law, it must have justice and compensation in it aamewhere. The question of "getting a position" naolves itself into two grand essentials first, proficiency of some sort, which stands for dollars and cents in the world's market-place ; and nest to de monstrate this proficiency in a way to attract the world's attention. It is a mistake to depend on "in Boenco" to got work in a legitimate calling; influenoe belongs more prop erly to the domain of politics. As a rale, too, it is a mistake to ask or to expect employment on the ground of charity not that charity and business are incompatible, but that each should stand on its own bottom. The best recommendation is a sample of your work; that, with a frank address and Matness.ofjappearanoe for "the apparel oft proclaims the man" may often frove the "open sesame" to suooess. While it is good to have a due appre ciation of one's abilities, it is not good to be too exacting as to the field for their display. The distance betwixt the foot of a ladder and the top is but a abort span to him who has within himself tho power of rising. It is another requisite of the suocess rnl worker that he shall be in love with his work. If he is a mechanic, be will take pride in his tools; if he is a bookkeeper, he will plume himolf on the merits of his pen, and on the neatness and forwardness of his ao eonnts. Julian Hawthorne connta among the pleasures of authorship the satisfaction got from good writing materials. As the late Colonel Forney once said to a youthful member of his ataff : "A man must work con amore to have his work worth anything." A young lady who wished a placo. as typewriter got it in a common-sense way. She wrote out half a dozen "replies," so to speak brief, business like, and respectful sotting forth her experience, qualifications, and ideas as to pay, putting her figures rather above the market rate. Next morning there were four advertisements for type writers in the papers. She promptly mailed her four replies directly at the main post-office, enclosing a two-cent stamp in each. One of the four shots brought down her bird. That evening her position came to hor by mail It is not true that the world is a bet ter market for musclo than for brains. The difficulty is that brain matter, whatever its native brightness, is prao tically worthies without training and experience. For one play produced by a manager, a thousand are rejected. The accepted one may be inferior in many respects to many a rejected one ; may have loss talent in it ; but it is from a trained head, and it suits the manager's want, and that is enough. It is so with story writing, with head work of every kind. Suitability m the quality that gives ,it pecuniary value. Men and women who with certain brilliant qualities fail to realize this truth, often fancy that the conditions of success are hard anfl limitod. Yet theatrical managers, magazine publish ers, and many others, are subject to the very same law thoiusolves. Finally, it is not necessary that a want bhould be proclaimed in order to exist. Sometimes it may be anticipated. Sometimes it may even be creuted. Whoever can create a want for his wares or his work is on the way to masterful success. The philosophy of suooess in life is not a whit changed from what it was in "Poor ltiehurd's" day. His homely old maxim on industry and thrift which he quaintly admits that ho himself found it difficult to practise have not been outlawed by the lapso of years. There is an impression that opportuni ties for individual sucoess are being re stricted nowadays and overshadowed by corporations. To some extent, nml temporarily, JtUis may be true, but corporations in turn are dopondont ou the intellectual and moral qualities that iusuro individual success, and those ean no more bo dispensed with than manual labor oan be superseded by tho multiplication of machinery. How it Got It Namn. "What," asked Christopher Columbus of bio good friond Murtiu Alouzo Tin son, -what shall we namo the nu'.v world when we find it.?" "Lot's call it America," retnrned tho ingenuous sail ov, "because that pamo doottn't rhyme with anything, and it will make the poots of all the centuries as mad as batters." "Tlmt's a good idea," suid the great discoverer, "and it goes. " SUBJECTS FOR THOUGHT. To make history atheistio is to make humanity anarchistic. t To be misunderstood by those we love is bitterest of all. A brute can face a sword. It takes courago to face a snoer. ' Audacity as against modesty will win me name over iuobI men Error of opinion may be toloratod Where reason is loft free to combat itn Men's backs were made to bend, and the race of parasites is still in good repute. Try not to magnify and prolong griof nor to minimize and abbreviate glad ness. I bolieve we ought to regard Chris tianity as a general letter of introduc tion. If the earth were covered with flow ers all the year round, tho bees would cot lazv. The unwise complaiu that the gooT Bunor. iney are the only one who can afford to suffer. Mind your business with your abso lute heart and soul ; but first see that it is a good businoss. ' Trust men and they will be true to yon ; troat them greatly and they will show thomsolves great. It is not necessary for all mon to be great in action. The greatest and su blimest power is simple patience. The cheerful livo longest in years, and afterward in onr regards. Cheer fulness is the offshoot of goodness. When weariness como, take a breath ing spell. Of one thing be sure to day's work well done will prepare you for to-morrow. A real duty is a necessity of the hu man nature, without seeing and doing which a man can never attain to tho truth and blossedness of his own being. The temper of disbelief or denial is perilous, because it closes the mind to tho entranco of truth. It is not nocos sary to put out the sun ; shut your eyes and you will be in darkness. The sense of duty is the fountain of human rights. In other words, the same inward principle that teaches the former bears witness to the latter. Du ties and rights must stand and fall to gether. There is nothing so terrible as activ ity without insight, says Goethe. I would oper, every one of Argus' eyea before I used one of Briareus' bands, says Lord Bacon. Look before yon leap, says John Smith, all over the world. no who does the best he can is always improving. His best of yester day is outdone to-day, and his best of to-day will be outdone to morrow. It is this steady progress, no matter from what point it starts, that forms the chief element of all greatness and good ness. It is because so few have definite goals bofore them that so many fail ; it is because so many aim at impossibili ties that so fow succeed ; it is because there is too much wishing for success, with so little unremitted striving after it that so many end with wishing ; it is becanse there is too much eagornoss for speedy triumph that ao many end in defeat. The worship of a beauty above earthly shows is the highest homage of n true roligion. Eternal movement is tho characteristic and destiny of the modern mind. All civilization is a con flict of opposite foroes. To plant for the future is better than to war with the post. Life should be catholio as na ture. Beauty is the great mediator be tweon the ilosh and the spirit No use cau exhaust the sumless income of the universe. We may talk and reason, we may re prove and expostulate, we may praise and blame, but, after all, it is onr own character, our own example, the moral atmosphere in which we dwell that will act upon othors with tenfold foroe. We may accept it as an assured fast that those who come into intimate relations will to a greater or less degree resolu ble each other, for, without intending it, they communicate their emotions to each other, they inspire each other with their feelings, they transmit to each othor their desires, and they can no more help absorbing them than the flower can help absorbing the dew which descends upon it HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Almond meal is very softening and whitening to the skin. To clean brass fixtures, rnb them with slices of lomon, then wash in hot water.
