wiork SA TO THE PINNACLE OF FAME BY THE BACK STAIRS. The ancient Olympian method of kidogping a likely mortal and making a god of him has gone entirely out of date. It takes a very extraordinary person nowadays whom it will even do to canonize as a saint, and the condi- tion of sainthood is only attained afier death, and sometimes a long time after, “The age has grown so picked” that it is hard for any mau or woman (0 step out of the groove he or she hap- pens to have been shunted into to run the race of life. In the good old days it was not go, A very surong man, or a very brave or bloodv-minded one, was easily translated into a demi-god, and a milk-maid with a witching per. son and a comely face might hope to | find her Cophetua as unexpectedly as Pharaoh's daughter found little Moses i in the bullrushes, We no longer find | Moseses anywhere. Bat, in spite of | the extreme practicality of the once in a while things happen almost as strange as any we read of, A PAIR OF STRIKING EXAMPLES. Take for instance, the adveniures of two Union county girls, daughters | of a vagrant pe'er-do-well—probably a Yankee—Mr. Buck Claflin, Could there be a much more discouraging | start in life than Victoria and Tenues- see Claflio made?The send off of Rom- ulus sod Bemus was hardly more de- pressing.

Nope of your common-place Britishers, either, banker with great riches, One of them got a and the | other got a rich man with a title and is called “My lady.” Recently the | two sisters were the observed of all | observers on a public occasion graced | by the preseuce of the Prince and | Princess of Wales and other noted | aud noble persons to eclcbrate the | openiog of an institution which been maiuly reared by the munificent | contribution of the husband of one of | Buck Claflin’s daughters !

GENIUS AND ADAPTABILITY. It often happens that some sprig of nobility comes over the sea and land ingon our shores, captivates some one of our rich and rare girls and car- ries off his prize and prize money. And it sometimes happens that our darlings go across the water and with | their beauty, talant and wealth, lay | #eige 10 nobility and compe) a sarrend- er. This is a commercial game of give | and take that excites no special won- derment. But the capture achieved | by the Claflin girls is 8 work of gen- | ius. They stormed the British for. | tress without bringing to bear the | guns with which opposition is usually | thundered down. Their humble birth | was agaiost them, They had no great acquaintance to smooth the road to social prominence. Their notoriety stood in their way like a lion in the path. But in spite of all obstacles they are where they are, and they ought to be happy. It is not probable that in all the tide of time like luck will follow thie “adventures of any oth: er Union county maidens, aod I do not advise any of them to imitate the Claflin example in all its details. WHERE THE MORAL COMES TN, Bat throwing out of che question the pretense, the impudence, the ug- womanly daring of these two success ful adventuresses, can any one help admiring their readiness and ther Pluck? It is to their credit that they are pow conducting themselves as be comes their station in life and their opportunities. We may also ad- mire them for that, Sometimes it hap pros that wickedness and wantonness £0 ro halting place, but keep right 05 1 spite of ease and lack of further focitement.

Nevertheless, it may be calti- vated to some extent, and may per. haps be more frequently useful in one's self to the hard side than to the soft side of life. The d wns generally exceed the ups, and the man or wo- man who possesses the happy facility of making the best of misfortune, as well &s the most of opportunity, can never be set down as a total failure, fhe philosophy of life involves the bearing of prosperity as well as ad- versity, And te keep the head down as to { keep the heart up -~ — Mingle's shoe store, ~10 cents for a pound of good cotton | melinrmans, ——— A A—— I.
