Tell me not in mournful numbers, "Life is but an empty dream 1" For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real 1 Life is earnest ! And the grave is not its goal ; "Dust tbou art, to dust returnest," Was not spoken of the soul. Kot enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each tomorrow Find us farther than today. Art is long, and time is fleeting, And our hearts though stout and brave, Stilt, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave, in the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouhcof life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle, Be a hero in the strife ! Trust no future, bowe er pleasant! Let the dead past bnry its deadl Act act in the living present! Heart within, and God o'erhead! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind ns Footprints in the sands of time Footprints that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing shall take heart again. Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. HSKRT W. LoWOfELLOW, Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Saturday evening, Oct. 8, tbeY. M. C.

The doctor smoked slowly on hi rigitr. It wits pluiu that he had some thing to say. "I was thinking of my early college days," ho said, "and of a peculiar in cident that happoued very soou after 1 began my studies. Tho professor was instructing tho class one day on the corpuscles of tho blood. lu order to got some fresh blood for microscopical ex amination each student was ordered to tie a nig around his forefinger and striko the top of tho finger suddenly with a needle with suflieient . force to draw blood Seems easy, doesn't it? Do you know there wasn't a nuui iu tho class that did it at tho first attempt It was funny to watch somo of thoso embryo surgeons poise tho needle with a deter mined air and launch it to within a hair space of the flesh and tuore stop dead. Others tried to force the ueodle iu slowly, bnt paused very shortly, with au expression of paiu couimeu surnte to that of au amputation. 1 my self gave it np as a bad job, and hacked a cavity in my thumb with a poukuifo, and found it easier. "The faet thnt wo were very yonng and inexperienced is uo explanation for this peculiarity, as I have siuce fouud by personal test Almost everybody ex hibited the same repugnance to inflict ing pain in that manner. Try it your self. " The other man tried and succeeded on the fourth trial. New York Suu. Art of Makluc Mu.tard I'lutfr. To put on a mustard plaster is not tit all diftlcult hut to do it iu the best way requires some care and skilL Iu the first place, remember uever to givo a cold mustard plaster to a patient To a weak or sensitive person tho shock is often great Either mix with very hot water, or, bi'tter still, hnve a plate put whore it can got warm while you are mixing Having everything ready at hand, mustard, flour aud a spoonful of molasses, with a bit of old muslin or linen an old handkerchief is the best thing for tho purpose.

Put a second cloth over the whole, so that the mustard it entirely hid between the two covers and keep on the plate nntil it is necessary to itpply the plaster. Philadelphia Ledger. Value of Toe. la Walking. The idea that the lesser toes are neces sary in walking is generally entertain ed, and it has been a surprise to Euro pean physicians to learn that amputa tion of all the lesser toes of both feet has been followed by complete recovery and the restoration to usefulness of both the feet operated upon. The feet healed slowly after the operation, bnt very steadily and without unpleasant com plications. The operati ju was perform ed, and in a little more than a year and a half the patient danced all night and experienced no iucunveuieuce whatever on account of having only one toe on each foot She rides a wheel, plays ten nis and enjoys every sport that girls of her ago are fond of. The cause of the trouble was originally chilblains, which was neglected nntil it produced con traction of the muscles with the most intense pain, which was at times so severe that she could not enjoy the necessary amount of sleep. Surgeons are of the opinion that a great deal of need less suffering is endured which might be relieved by extremely simple opera tions oa the feet. New York Ledger. How to Prevent Croup. We have two children who are subject to attacks of croup. Whenever an attack is coming on my wife gives them Cham berlain's Cough Remedy and it always prevents the attack. It is a household necessity in this county and no matter what else we run out of, it would not do to be out Chambprluin's Cough Remedy. More of it is so'd here than of all other counh medicines combined. J. M. NicKi.E, of Nickle Bros., merchants, Nkkleville, Pa. For sale by Geo. A. Harding. Dodging a Shot. When Dewey was first lieutenant of one of the gunboats which Farragut used as a dispatch boat the admiral used often to come aboard and steam np near the levee to recounoitcr. The southerners bad a way of rushing a field piece to the top of the high bauk, firing point blank at the gunboat and then backing down again. Upon one such oc casion Farragut saw Dewey dodge a shot "Why don't yon stand firm, lieuten ant?" said ha "Don't you know you can't jump quick enough?" A day or so after the admiral dodged a shot. The lieutenant smiled and held his tongue, but the admiral had a guilty conscience. He cleared his throat once or twice, shifted his attitude and Anally declared: "Why, sir, you can't help it, sir. It's human nature, aud there's au end to it" A General Proportion. Wick wire (looking at board with "Pity the Blind" on it) You are no more blind than 1 am. Dismal Dawson Well, what's it to you?

Wagner's work's began to spread through Germany, one town after another put 'Tne Flying Dutch,' 'Kiensi,' 'Tannhauser' Hiid 'l.ohemtiln' on its theatre's program," writes Richard Wagner's biographer in tiie October Ladies' Home Journal. "At that epoch theatres In Germany gave no percentage whatever. The only obligation the law imposed on them was to buy the score. The price of fhe score was fixed in each special ease between the theatre and the author, and varied according to the population of the town and the success expected. Once the score was bought, the theatre had no further obligation toward the author. Wagner usually got from forty to eighty dollars for a score, and rarely one hun dred and twenty dollars. What Wsgner got -once for all-tor 'Riensi, 'The Fly ing Dutchman," rannhausei' and' Lohen grin' amounted, therefore, all told, to something like fifty to one hundred dollars from each theatre which put these works on the stago. "'Another source of income ought to have been the sale of the scores to the publishers, several of whom have made fortunes with them. But the fact that Wanner was always in want of money put him in a disadvantageous petition. Tristan,' for example, was sold for eight hundred dollars, and 'Lohengrin' for eighty dollars."
