_ AN INCH OF REAL ESTATE.
Some time since, a gentleman, whom we
will call Mr. A., purchased a piece of ground
on which was an old building, which he pro
ceeded to tear down, intending to replace it
with a building more suitable for the trans.
action of his business About the same tithe
another gentleman, whom we shall call Mr.
B , purchased the adjoining lot and proceed.
ed in the same manner to take down the old
building standing upon it, so that the new
work of demolition commenced at the same
time . After this had been concluded, Mr
A. being ready to build himself, and sup•
posing quite naturally that his neighbor
would proferbuildiog at the same time, paid
him a visit in relation to the matter, when
he was boorishly informed by Mr. 8., that
he should build 'when he pleased' 01'
course as 31r. A. could not gainsay his right
in this respect, the only method left for him
was to goon by himselt. This he according
ly 'did, and had progressed so far as to have
his building 'covered in,' when he was sur
prised one day by a visit from his irate neigh
bor.
'Sir,' says Mr B, 'you are an inch on my
ground.'
Mr. A., rejoined that he thought it must
be a mistake.
'No, sir, it is no mistake—you aro an inch
on my ground.'
'Well,' returned Mr. A., 'all I can say is,
if it is so, I am very sorry, and it is altogeth
er unintentional: but I am willing to pay
you whatever you say the laud is worth.
I want no pay sir,' answered Mr 8., I
want my land'
'Sir,' says Mr. A., it seems hopeless to
attempt to compromise this matter with you,
but 1 will pay you double whatever you say
the laud is worth rather than take down my
wall'
'I want no money—l want my land,' per.
Mated stubborn. Mr. B Argument and en•
treaty were alike unavailing, and Mr. A., ac
cordingly proceeded to take down and re
build his wall.
• He was permitted to finish his building
now without further interruption. -
Shortly afterward Mr. B , concluded to
build on his lot, and masons and carpenters
were set at work to accomplish the object.
The work progressed finely—story after
story went up as if by magic; and our friend
Mr. 8., watched the operations day by day
with increasing interest, with' confident an
ticipation of being able to occupy the prem
ises by a certain period. At leng th the
building was entirely finished from founda
tion to capstones—the workmen bad depart.

his neighbor, Mr. A
'Sir,' said be, I am sorry to inform you
that you are an inch on wy ground.'
'Pooh, nenseoce,' returned Mr. B. •
'lt's no nenseoce'at all, 'said Mr. A , 'I
tell you that you are an inch oo my ground.'
'Why, bow can that be ?' blustered Mr.
8., 'when I only built up to your wall ?'
'Ah, that's it! in the dryest manner pea

It is perhaps, unnecessary to explaihto, the

A Thought for Young Man
All thinkers and careful observers have
_noticed the gradual and-very stroug-tendon- 7
ey of some business men, and especially our
young men, to a restless disposition. There
are many causes, for this. In' common with
_the_rapid-Intirch' of eveats, inflation has pui
sued its course, invading-not only the walks
of commerce, but It a s permeated almost
the entire mental range of the striving mil
lions. The rush kr riches may have abated
somewhat within the past few moothir, yet
the unsatisfied thirst exhibits itself and surg
es :to-and-fa o-at-t he-toere tiara! ion-or - pos.
slide hope of obtaining a fortune. • Not the
least feature of this deplorable mental ex
eiti--”eor; The 0- 'd necessity

wealth immediately
All substantial fortunes are obtained by
dint of patience and the power of system
nod reasonable economy ; the result of ever ;
gy coolly and judiciously applied. Band.
reds are looking forward t o the coming
spring, definitely or indefinitely, for grand
developments, oti some' new hue of enter•
prise, at all events to a-change suggestive of
more 'material aid.' That which is doing
well or reasonably, is not satisfactory . The
brain is heated, while cupidity rues riot with
its crazed
The wheel may have to be reversed to cheek
this unreasonable phase of human nature—
then comes both mental and tnaterial depres

Let it be borne in mind that the most
solid success comes from solid labor. Young

trlosin gs-you-tra-v e-p ruden and - patient,
and cultivate that calmness and deliberation
which foreshadows power and guarantees
future success.
SALT LAKE Ctn.—Coming down through
'Parley's Canon' and out upon the 'fo it hills'
of the 'Twin Peak's,' which tower 11,000
feet above us, to the south-east orSali Lake
Gitv, the view is one of unparalleled beauty;
at least upon the 'over land route.' Far as
the eye can reach, stretches the fertile valley
of the Great Salt Lake, bounded upon all
sides by snow-capped mountains, and the
lake itself, a miniature ocelitii, gleaming like
burnished silver, lies apparently beneath our
very feet. We are misled as to the distance,
in all these mountain regionsiby the purity
and clearness of the atmosphere. The lake
is fully twenty-five miles distant. Camp
Disiglass, the flag of which is plainly visible,
seems only a mile or so in advance ; but it is
a good hour's ride from us. Passing the
river Jordan, we soon entered the city, which
we find to be located upon an inclined plateau,
near the base of a mountain known as 'En
sign Peak.' The streets cross each other at
right angles, are 'very wide, well shaded, and
a stream of clear sparkling water, fresh from
the mountains, dances and gurgles on either
side of the way.
This water is conveyed through all the
•principal streets in the city and is used for
every necessary purpose, though , that of ir
rigation is the principal. The 'blocks' em
brace an area of ten acres, Subdivided into
lots of an acre and a quarter each The
building material is chiefly sun driod bricks,
called abode, but there are many fine busi
ness houses built of stone The offices of
Wells, Fargo & Co. are perhaps the fioest in
the city.
A MORAL ACTUALITY.— Students of his
tory and close observers of individual char.
attar are continually impressed with the pro
found practical truth embodied in the utter
aucee of tht Biblical patriarchs and apostles,
not to mention the precepts laid down by the
Saviour himself or communicated to Israel
by divine authority One homely sentence
that we now recall contains a wisdom deeper
than, sehools a'jJ courts and c.bineta;. nay,
than all the combinations, public and private,
of men for any other than pure purposes:
'Pride goeth before destruction, and a haugh
ty spirit before a fell.' How the annals of
mankind, in great and in small things alike,
daily illustrate the force of this reflection
What monarch upon a despotic throne; what
cruel conqueror at the head of a victorious
army; what cunning diplomatist perverting
truth to serve some momentary ambition ,
what corrupt magistrate trampling justice
under tout with fancied fret unity; what
society or conspiring league of men aiming
at the bread or the blood of the innocent,
has escaped some terrifio blow falling in the
very hour of their perfected schemes ! Scan
the history of great nations, or of small com
munities, itOd-see if an iustance'ofoppression
really triuthphant eau be found ? The en •
written law of human experience, • since• the
world begonia that in the very tnoinetit - when
bad, false, and heartless men believe them
selves. the safest they are the trearest to their
doom.
• Nothing is LOOM easy than to grow rich.
It is only to trust nobody.; to befriend none;
ro get everything and, save all • we get, to
stint ourselves and - everybody". belonging to
us; to be the , friend of uti man, and have no
luau for our - friend; to heap interest upon
interest, vent'upon cent; to be mean, miser•
`able and despised , for some tWenty or thirty
years--riches will come as sure as disease
and disappointment.

Life .Lengthened.
Cultivate au equal temper, Many a man
has fallen dead in a fit of pat•sion.
2. Eat regularly, not over thrice a day,
and nothing between meals.
3 Go to bed at regular hours. Oct up
as soon as you wake ,of yourself, and do not
elbep in the day time, at least not longer than
ten minutes before noon.
4 Work always by the day, and not by
the job. .
5. Stop working before you aro 'fagged
out.'
6. Cultivate -a generous and au accommo
dating temper.
7. Never eat when you are not hungry,
nor drink when you are not thirsty.
8. Never cross a bridge before you come
to it, for this will savelialf the trouble of
life. •
9. Let your" appetite always come unin
vited.
10. Cool off in a place greatly warmer
than the one in which you have been exer
cising; this simple rule would prevent incal.
culable sickness and save minium, of lives a
year.
11. Never resist a call of nature for a sin
gle minute. •
12. Never slow yourself to be
through and through ; it is this which de
stroys so many every year in a few days'
sickness, from pheumonia, called by some
lung fever, or inflamation of the lungs.
13, Whoever drinks no liquids at his
meals will add years of pleasurable existence
to his life. Of cold or warm drinks, the fer
nier are the most pernicious—drinking at
meals induces persona to eat more than they
otherwise would, as any one can verify by
experiment; and it is excess of eating which
devastates the laud with sickness, suffering,
and death.
14. After fifty years of age, if not a day
laborer, and sedantary persons after forty,
should cat but twice a day—in the morning
and about four in the afternoon; persons can
soon accustom themselves to seven hours in

ach rest; for every organ without adequate
rest must give out prematurely.

said from the tribune of the Chamber of
Deputies on the occasion of the bill for grant
ing an indemnity of a thousand millions of
franca to the French emigres : 'Do you
know that an equal number of minutes has
not elapsed eince•the birth of Jesus Christ r
Although those words were pronounced near•'
ly 3 half a century ago, we have not even
yet attained the amount. On the twenty
fifth of December•next, calculating twenty
bissextile yearsin every hundred, there will
only 'have passed 982,368,000 minutes since
the birth of our Saviour. A twelve month
contains 622,600, so that we shall 'have to
wait thirty years before reaching this !anions
will only be completed in
1898. Taking the average of human life,
more than nine tenths of the beings actually
existing on the Surface of the globe, will not
arrive at that date.' •

ttons .by the teacher were neither expected
nor passible. Having himself no knowledge
of the subjects he pretended to teach, he
could communicate none to his pupil's, nor
could be, do more than assign tasks in the
text-books and see that these were committed
to memory: Strange lad as it
may now:appear,' it' detis not seem fo have
entered the winds of. those who had this con
trol of the education of the young, of those
days, that in all the pursuits of life,
,other
faculties than the memory are also caled ha
lo exercise, and that, therefore, one •of the
prieeiple objects of the training of the schools
should be, to cultivate audstrengthen these.
The object Of education was the acquisition
of knowledge , The winds of the pupils were
to be filled with facts very much like a bag
is filled with corn or wheat; and be who
could - contain - the largest quantity or whose
memory was the most retentive,' received all
the honors." andl y was considered the best
scholar. The evident infeiende from this
method of teaching is, that the mental atom
achs.of the educated of those, days were un
usually large, but, judging from crania still
in existence, the contrary appears nearer in_
accordance with the truth. The memory of
an educated man should have been a giant
compared with his other intellectual powers,
on the contrary however, though inainethod.
ically urged and strained, it was as tread)
erous as at the present time, and muchmore
of a dwarf. Indeed the memories of the
children attending school, being constantly
taxed with, what seemed to hem, us it really
was, useless tasks. instead of becoming more
retentive, became less so, on account of being
continually wearied with unprofitable labor.
All that was contained in the text-books of
those days, was of such an ancient and sn
ored character, that to examine it in the
light of reason, would have been next 'to sac
rilege, and hence no teacher thought of
attempting it or o f teaching his pupils
to do so. Whether it was at all sup
posed that pupils could learn to understand
what they 'studied, appears doubtful, as no
attempt , was made in that direction.' 'Pupils
received ever) tiring at second hand. Instead
of studying the subjects themselves, they
wasted their time to learning the views of
the authors of the text-books, who were
looked upon,.by both them and the teachers,
as.gods, from whose decisions there could be
no appeal. As everything seemed too ob
atruse (?) to be understood, it was learned . by
rules. Every problem in arithmetic was
solved by the rule laid down by the author
of the books. And if any one questioned
the utility of this blindeess, be was readily
met with the'question, 'lf the author does
his sums by his mho, why should the teach
ers and echelon, not do the same?' or 'What
are these ruleS for, or why were they put in
to the books, if they ate not to be followed ?'
Such arguments as these, were, of course,
unanswerable (?), and he who was so stupid
(?) as.merely to suggest the probability that
common sense could be made available in the
solulproblems, when met with such
pow ) arguments as these, was obliged
to hide his lace for shame.
'ln this way the study of arithmetic be
came littic - morethau learning by rote a set
of atbitrary • and useless rules; and he who
could apply those rules most dexterously
in producing results,
.or, could repeat the
largest number of them in the shortest time,
was th e most expert arithmeticiao. He
thought no more of reasoning upon the prob
lems or studying priociplcs,.than the ,clown
does of studying the-intern il structure of his
watch.. He looked only the way the hands
pointed. .. •
If a papa bad obtained the 'answer' to a
'sum,' both, he mud the teacher were-perfect
