Room at th8 Top.
To tha young men annually making their
entrance upon active life, with preat" ambi
tions, conscious cajxicities and high hopes,
the prospect is, in ninety-nine cases in a
hundred, most perplexing. They .see every
avenus to prosperity thronged with tlieir
superior in experience, iii racial .".avan
tages, atsd in the pocsMort of all the ele
ments and conditions of success. Kvorv
post is occupied, every office filled, every
path crowded.. Where shall thev find
room ? It is related of Mr. Webster that
when a young lawyer suggested to him that
the profession to which he had devoted him
self was overcrowded, the great man re
plied : "Young man, there is always room
enough at the top." Never was a" wiser or
more suggestive word said. There un
doubtedly is always room enough where
excellence lives. Mr. Webster was not
troubled for lack of room. 31 r. Clay and
Mr. Calhoun were never crowded." Mr.
Evarts, Mr. Cushingand Mr. O'Conor have
plenty of space around them. Mr. Beechcr,
Dr. Storrs, Dr. Hall, Mr. Phillips, Prooks,
wou!d never know, in their jK?rsonal ex
perience, that it was hard to obain a de
sirable ministerial charge. The profession
is rut crowded where they t re. Dr. Urown-Seq-iird,
Dr. WillarJ Parker, Dr. Ham
mond, arc not troubled fbr' space for their
elbows. When Nelatoa died in Paris, he
died like Moses on a mountain. When
Von Graefe. died in Berlin, he had no
neighbor at his altitude.
It is well, Cist, that all young men re
member that nothing will do them so much
injury as quick and easy success, and that
nothing will do them so much good as a
struggle which teaches them exactly what
there i.s in them, educates them gradually
to its use, instructs them ia jersonal econo
my, drills them into a patient and persist
ent habit of work, and keeps them at the
foot of the ladder until they become strong
enough to hold every step they are enabled
to gain. The first years of every man's
business or professional life are years of
education. They are intended to be,. in
the order of nature and Providence. Doors
do not open to a man until he is prepared
to enter them. The man without a wed
ding garment may get in surreptitiously,
bat he immediately goes out witli a (let in
his ear. We think it Is the experience of
most successful men who have watched the
course of their lives in retrospect, that
whenever they have arrived at a point
where they were thoroughly prepared to
go up higher, the dr to a higher place
ha swung back cf itself, and they hare
he.ird the call to enter. The old die, or
voluntarily retire for rest. The best mar.
who stand ready to take their places will
succeed to their position and its honors
and emoluments.
The young men will say that only a few
can reach the top. That is true, but it is
ako true that the further from the bottom
one goes, the more scattering the neighbor
hood. One can fancy, fbr illustration, that
every profession and every calling is py
ramidal in its constituency, and while only
on-2 man is at the top, there are several
tiers of men below hitu who have plenty of
elbow room, and that it is only at the base
that men are so thick that they pick the
meat cut of one another's teeth to keep
them from starving, If a man has no power
to get out of the rabble at the bottom, then
lie is self-con vieted of having choosen a call
ing or profession to whose duties he has
no adaptation. The CTatid mistake that
youn meu make, during the first ten years
of their business and professional life, is in
idly waiting for their chance. They seem
to forget, or they do not know, that dur
ing those ten years they enjoy the only
leisure they will ever have. After ten
years, in the natural course of things, they
will be tbsorbingnly busy. There wiil then
be no time for reading, culture, and study.
If they do not become thorougly grounded
in the principles and practical details of
the?r profession during those years ; if they
do not fctorc their minds with useful know
ledge if they do not pursue habits of read -inland
oi.."ervatiou, and social intercourse,
which result in culture, the question whe
ther they will ever rinc to occupy a place
where there is room enough for them will
be decided in the negative. The young
physicians and young lawyers who sit idly
in "their offices, and smoke and lounge away
the time "waiting for something tn turn
up," are by that course fastening them
selves for life to the lower stratum, where:
their struggle for a bare livelihood is to Ik
perpetual. The first ten years are goledn
years that should be filled with systematic
reading and observation. Everything that
tends to professional and personal excellence
should be an object of daily pursuit. To
such men the doors of success open of them
selves at last. Work seeks the best hands,
as naturally as water runs down hill ; and
it never seeks the hands of a trifler, or of
one whose only recommendation for work
is that he needs it. Young men do not
know very much any way, and the time al
ways comes to those who become worthy,
"when they look back with wonder upon
their early good opinion of their acquire
ments and themselves.
There is another point that ought not to
bo overlooked in the treatment of his sub
ject. Young men look about them and see
a great measure of worldly success award
cd'to men without principle. They see the
trickster crowned with public honors, they
Mie the swindler rolling in wealth, they see
the sharp man, the overreaching man, the
unprincipled man, the liar, the demagogue,
the time-server, the trimmer, the scouu
drel who cunningly manages, though con
stantly disobeying moral law and tranipliog
! upon swjal orirf?y, to Wp himlf mn
of the clutches of the legal police, carry
ing off the pviics of wealth and place. All
this is a demoralizing puzzle and a fearful
temptation ; and multitudes of young men
arc not strong enough to stand before it.
They ought to understand that in this
wicked world there is a great deal of room
where there is integrity. Great trust may
be sought by scoundrels, but great trusts
never seek them ; and perfect integrity is
at a premium even among scoundrels.
There are some trusts that they will never
confer on each other. There are occasions
when the' need the services of true men,
and they do not find them in shoals and in
the mud, but alone and in pure water.
In the realm of eminent acquirements
and eminent integrity there is always room
enough. Let no young man of industry
and perfect honest' despair because his pro
fession or calling is crowded. Let him al
ways remember that there is room enough
at the top, and that the question whether
he is ever to reach the top, or riss above
the crowd at the base of the pyramid, will
be decided by the way in which he im
proves the first ten years of his active life
in securing to himself a thorough know
ledge of his profession, and a sound moral
and intellectual culture. Dr. J. G. Holland.

A Mute Marriage.
The very unusual occurrence of the cele
bration of the marriage ceremony between
deaf mutes, occurred on Tuesday last nt
Mihcrd, Pike county, in this State, when
Oscar Merrill, of Lower Mt. Bethel town
ship, in Nori-hamton county, pon of Hon.
Kit-hard N. Mcnii!, late Associate-Judge,
was married, at the residence of the bride's
parents, to Emma E., daughter of Jervis
Gordon, of Milford. The happy, though
mute couple, were attended by John Pin
chot as groomsmau, and Miss Sarah Finger
as bridesmaid. The marriage ceremony
were performed in the presence of a large
number of the relatives and friends, at
eight o'clock on Tuesday morning, by Kev.
E. Y. Biscoe, pastor of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, of Milford, assisted by Mr.
Peter Witschief, of Port.Jervies, as inter
preter, who had come down specially to as
sist in the ceremony. The marriage ser
vice was slowly read by M r. Biscoe, and
Mr. Witschief interpreted the same to
the contracting parties with surprising
celerity, by means of the mute al
phabet. The ceremony was certainly as in
teresting as it was unusual. A few hours
after the marriage the bride and groom left
on a short wedding trip.
The average number of cigars smoked in
the United Stfltos during twenty-four hours

Gano Seated Chairs.
Daisy Eyebright writes many sensible
things iu the Country Gentleman. This is
one: ,
When these chairs begin to wear out the
canes split apart, and tlieir appearance is
anything but ornamental, while the comfort
of the chair is also destroyed. Now if we
live where they can be reseated at the cabi
net maker's and have the money to pay fur
the work, we can soon hare the chairs as
"good as new." But all do not live in such
localities, and all have not the money to re
place these seats ; yet a little time and in
genuity will set the matter right and make
the chairs, in my opinion, better than new,
fur I dou't take much fancy to cane seated
chairs in general.
Take any pieces of bagging or burlaps
no matter how coarse and fit them to the
chairs, cutting them large enough to wrap
about the rounds that holds the splints or
canes. Now sew it on with a darning nee
dle and twine twice doubled, and turn up a
hem, as you sew, on the burlaps. TVhen
half fitted, stuff it with "excelsior" shav
ing of poplar wood ; or if you havent them,
cut off layers from old quits, and spread
them smoothly over the chairs, under the
burlap. The layers of cotton can be tacked
together before they are put in, and then
thoy can be laid more smoothly upon the
old canc3. Fino hay . also answer fl.r
stuffing when nothing better can be procur
ed. Now sew down the other two sides, and
take pieces' of carpeting, or of enamded
cloth, or colored rep, or all wool dress
goods, and tack them closely down with
large silver headed or brass-headed nails,
which come for the purpose, and behold !
your chairs are far handsomer and more
comfortable than before. The materials
have, possibly, cost you but little, fur many
an attie wuuld furnish them all, but the
nails, which must be procured at the up
holsterer's. Gimp to match the ground
color of the cushion, or even worsted braid,
is desirable to place along the edges of the
covering, and drive the nails directly
through it. This makes a handsomer
finish to the cushion.
Many a woman possesses as much ingen
uity as a carpenter or cabiuet maker, and a
little practice will teach her the uphulstcr
er's trade, so that with nails, hammer and
the needful material, she will uot only make
as good a chair cushion as he, but will be
able to cover a lounge respectably, and also
an armchair. Hocking chairs have often
been made far more comfortable than when
first purchased by the exercise of this art.
In many families there are disabled chairs
which have been thrown aside as useless,
and yet with but little expenditure they
could be made not only useful, but orna
mental, and thcir'preseneo would be a great
addition to the sitting room.
Forest Tress.
Every day reveals some new evidence of
the thoughtless and foreboding destruction
of forest trees throughout the country.
Forty years ago there could be found in
Indiana, a crop of black walnut unequalled
iu .quantity and quality, but to-day it is
not to be fonnd in such immense trees,
neither is the number of trees by any
means so numerous. The largest and best
trees were used years ago for fence rails
and such common purposes ; then it had
uo 'particular commercial value. Before
walnut came into general use, the most of
domestic furniture was made of cherry ;
walnut has now entirely superseded this
and all other woods. Thousands of fence
rails can be found to-day through Indiana
that were split more than half a century
ago, and they arc as sound now as then,
save the wear and tear. Of all hard woods
the walnut is the most durable, save red
cedar,, and possibly, in the ground, black
locust would equal it. Our walnut is com
paratively gone. In isolated parts of the
country, where this timber grows, there is
yet of some inferior quality, but to a limited
extent. But the black walnut growing in
the deep forest, in the rich lowlands, in its
primitive nature, is a "thing of the past.
The-general supply must now be gathered
from the four quarters of the earth to
supply the demand. Kentucky lias quite
a stock of good walnut yet, though much
that is very inferior on account of its gray
color, and tough, hard texture. Missouri
also has some of rather an inferior quality.
Western Ohio claims good walnut, but that
of Eastern Ohio and West Virginia is poor
in quality. The whole stock of the States
is estimated- by a correspondent of the
Lumbentutn Gazette as not equal to a full
demand for ten years to come. Furniture
manufacturers do not iiow use it as lavishly
as they did five years . ago. Other w vids
are substituted when, possible, uand one
thousand feet of walnut arc made to go as
far again as it did a few years ago, Chicago
uses annually in her different branches of
manufacture, such' as hous?, school, and
oSiee furniture, also in finishing material,
doors, mouldings, counters, &c, l l.fiOO,
090 feet, Prolwbly about half of this u
bought at the mills, and does not go into
the account of the dealers at all. Many
of -the, largest manufacturers direct or have
mills, or an iuterest in mills, in the walnut
district. ' But the general fact is that black
walnut is beginning to give out, while no
means have been adopted to promote a new
growth. ....
WTiliamsport woman tried to have her
hiusbavid arrested because he "winked at
and nudged the girls" at a party. ' The

Lawyers' Fees.
The lawyers who are fighting in the
Beecher-Tilton case, a correspondent says,
are not only working fur pay, but for fame.
It is admitted that whoever triumphs here
will at once achieve cosmopolitan distinc
tion. Tho question has been raised in this
connection whether there can be any limi
tation to the fees demanded by our popular
lawyers ? Field and Shearman have ren
dered a bill of 520,000 against the estate
of the late James Fisfc. Shearman is now
Beeeher's lawyer. lawyers' fees have
reached a state which, when compared with
the past, seem almost fabulous. In 18-13
Ogden Hoffman charged New Yrk city
SI, 000 for attending in an important case.
It was considered extortionate, but now ten
times that amount would be small. Beach
demands 510,000 for an important case,
and has enough to keep him busy all the
time! Governor Tildcn was attorney ia one
case in which his fees were, as is carefully
calculated, 100,000. The fees in the
Parish wiil case are estimated at an equal
sum. Half as much was paid a noted law
yer for services in settling the Kose will
casi. There are a number of estates now
in settlement whoso attorneys will draw
$30,000 from their clients for services.
This golden glory of the legal profession,
which excels that of all others, is the rea
son why lawyers strike fur notice. A name
when obtained insures immcr.33 wealth.
Tiluen, next to Charles O'Conor, has en
joyed a long as well as a lucrative practice,
and hence lie will be the richest governor
New York State has had since the days of
Edwin D. Morgan, who was worth $1,000,

Misplaced Sympathy.
There is constant sympathy expressed
by robust people for those of slight physi
cal constitution. We think the sympathy
ought to turn in the opposite direction. It
is the delicate people iriio escape the most
fearful disorders, and, in three cases out of
four, live tho longest. Those of gigantic
structure are aimn.st always reckless of
health. They say, "Nothing hurts me,"
and so they stand in drafts, and go out in
to tin night air to cool off, an 1 eat crabs
at midnight, and duff their flannels iu April,
and get their feet wet. But delicate peo
ple arc shy of peril. They know that dis
ease has ben fi.ddug fur thetu tor twenty
years, and they keep away from tha hook.
No trout can bis caught if ha sees the
shadow of the sportsman of the brook.
Those people, whom everybody expect to
