A WISE
SELFISHNESS.
Why Wo
Ilnvn a flight to Defend Our.
Helve Against llore.
Tho gonial "Autocrat of tbo Break-fast-tablo,"
whoso kindly heart pleads
for human wcaknoss always, justifies us
in protecting oursolvos against boros,
against peoplo who rob us of vitality as
well as time, for ho lays down this as
professional advlco: "Mark this which
I am going to say, for It Is as good as a
working professional man's advlco, and
costs nothing. It Is hotter to loso a pint
of blood from your volns than to havo a
norvo trapp'ed. Nobody measures your
nervous forco as it runs away, nor
bandages your brain and marrow aftor
tho oporatlon." Is thoro any moral law
that demands wo shall wasto our llfo
forces? that wo should allow tho drones
to Bap tho strength noodod to fulfill our
logitlniato duties?
Somo peoplo aro llko slovos thoy
oomo empty and go away ompty, and if
you should moot thorn tho noxt hour you
would find that you could carry on tho
uamo conversation on tho samo phi
losophy, dcclaro tho samo theories, and
thoy would bo now. Should any sonslblo
porson nllow himsolf to bo used as a
Bocial jumping-jack, tho clown for an
idle hour? Somo pooplo will demand
uympathy, feeding tholr morbid desires
ly drawing on tho vory llfo-hlood of an
Othor. Thorocomcstomlnda woman to whom
a heavy sorrow had come, who day aftor
day called on a nervous, high-strung
neighbor, "bocauso sho was so sympa
thetic," sho oxplainod, until tho littlo
nolghbor foil a victim to norvous pros
tration. "I know," said tho sick woman,
"I did hor no good, bocauso overy day
sho camo back in just tho samo stato of
mind. I do not know which wore on mo
most, tho being compolcd to listen to
tho samo story, or tho constant droad of
hor appoaranco, and disgust at my own
lack of courage." Tho sorrowing ono
was not comforted unto strength, and
Sho brought down hor vlotlm as suroly
as If pistol or poison had boon tho
medium sho usod. The stato doos not
rooognizo this mothod of killing as a
crlmo, but society doos, though it has
not yot found a moasuro for protection
Loyond individual effect. "You hoard
that Mrs. had a fortuno loft hor,
largo onough to koop hor comfortably?"
euld ono friond to anothor, speaking of
a common acquaintance. "Yos," was
tholrosponso, given with animation, "and
I'm qulto as glad for hor friends as for
Lor. You know wo nevor hoard from hor
whon sho was comfortablo only when
ttho was in trouble. 1 droaded to havo
lior call (and yot I liked hor much), for
I know I was doomod to a talo of woo.
1 never hoard hor say a choorful word,
and if you tried to mako hor choorful,
eho only looked at you roproachfully.
A call from her meant a day of exhaus
tion or depression. Yob, this monoy is
a groat comfort to hor frlonds," was tho
close of tho conversation.
Why should wo allow a norvo to bo
tappod whon thoro Is no gain by tho
operation? wo must stand tho onora
tlon many timos in llfo to accomplish
-a purpose Wo must smilingly submit
10 tho oporatlon again and again, pub
Holy and privately; but aro wo bound to
endure It when wo havo no purpose,
and know that tho rosult is loss, mid
loss of that which is most precious and
-vaiuanio ouro it is that, sooner
r later, wo must grow hardoned If wo
throw away tho divlno attributo of sym
pathy, H wo wasto tho forces given for
tiso. Wo can notprotoot oursolvos from
tho fooling, "What is tho uso?" And
that which sparklod in tho light of dl
vino approval becomos turUd, because
that which troubles it is internal, not
external; tho outlet Is choked.
Wo-aro bound to holp oauh othor, but
wo nro not bound to play tho part of
Alius and carry a world. Wo can only
liolp whoro thoro is rocoptlvlty; wo can
only help, in tho truo sense, whoro
thoro is u capacity and a doslro for solf-
ltolp; and this is as truo in tho social
world as in tho philanthropic world
Wo rob not only oursolvos, but those
who need us, whon wo lavishly spend
that which was meant for Invostmont
Christian Union.

ROBBERS SHUN THEM.
An Old HnllroiMl .Man Tell Why raj
Train Aro Never "Held Up."
"Why Is it that tho train robbers
novor plunder a pay train?"
"Bocauso thoy know tholr roward
would ho too insignificant."
That is tho way an ox-railroad man
put it
"Less monoy," ho added, "is carried -on
a pay train than on any other kind of
train. Somo folks imagino that tho pay
of tho employes of tho two great systns
terminating hero, aggregating hundreds
of thousands monthly, is piled away in
tho cars, and is hauled over tho road.
"Isn't that tho caso?"
"Great Scott, nol Tho .trains would bo
robbed boforo they got well out of Sa
vannah. Besides, who would bo ablo to
keep up with a carload of monoy? It is
largely silver, and tho ton-cent pieces
and tho nickels and tho coppers would
run away with things." .
"How is tho business conduotcd,
then?"
"Easily onough. In fact, thoro is but
ono way to properly carry it on. That
way Is to draw on tho banks at each city
for enough to pay oil until tho noxt city
is reached. For instanco, in leaving
Savannah over either tho Savannah,
Florida & Western railroad or tho Cen
tral railroad just enough monoy is taken
to pay oir employes, including agents,
track hands, operators and others at
each of tho stations. This amount l&
not vory largo. Tho largest amounts
aro paid out in tho citios; for instance,
in Macon tho engineers, flremon, con
ductors and yard-hands, and others of
tho Savannah & Western railroad, aro
paid oil ; in Columbus tho Savannah &
Western forco is pail off; in Augusta
tho employes of tho South Carolina
division of tho Central aro paid otr ; thoy
samo is truo with the Savannah, Florida
& Western railway. By this moans tho
largest sums paid out amount to littlo
more than a transfer of monoy procured
from the banks, through tho paymastor
of tho railroad, to tho omployos. Tho
sums paid out on tho lino botweon tho
headquartors of each division aro small
compared to tho amounts, paid out in tho
cities. Nono of tho cnglneors or flromen
or conductors or brakomon aro paid off
at points along tho lino. Thoy aro tho
employes that got tho largest pay."
Tho railroad man related an incident
which took place sovoral years ago, I
which ho said put matters in a bad light
and made tho pay train tempting to
train robbors. A newspaper reporter on
ono of tho dailies in a Western town
wrote a long article, stating how much
monoy it required to pay oil tho omployos
of the road, and concluding by saying it
was singular that tho robbors seldom
hold pay-trains up. Tho figures tho
newspaper man gave woro correct, and
tho article attracted widespread atten
tion. Sovoral officials of tho road wont to
tho general manager about tho matter,
and began to suggest a remedy for what
thoy considered a very bad practice.-
Tho gonoral manager explained to
them that tho amount of monoy i vrriod
on pay trains was small compared to
what is carried on tho regular mail and
oxpress train, but tho matter was not
settled until tho newspaper man pub
lished an intnrvlnw u-itli Hm irannnl .
manager, giving tho facts and stating-'
tho manner in which business was con
ducted on pay trains. Tho railroader
said, howovor, that tho dangor of pay
train robbory is vory slight. Tho rob
bers havo posted thomsolvos about theso
matters. Savannah (Ga.) News.
HUMAN HAPPINESS.

I.ulior Aro .Iiullclously Mingled.
Work either of tho muscles or tho
brain, is ono of the conditions of human
happiness. Without it thoro can bo no
wholesomo enjoyment. Tho idle man

oxcitomens of labor in vicious indul
gence, or degonoratcs into a boing only

His soul and mind, in tho ono caso, bo
como degraded and debased by falso
uses; in tho other, thoy rust within
him, and he is loft to tho government of
tho mere instincts which ho possesses!
in common with tho bruto.
Tho truest llfo that most accordant
with our naturo is ono in which phys
ical and montal labor aro judiciously
mingled, alternating with such recroa
tion as tends to refresh and ronovato
both. Noithor constant bodily toil nor
incessant study is advisable Whon tho
muscles are tired glvo thOm a recess
and do a littlo head-work. Whon both
head and hand aro weary, try amusoi'
mont light reading of a wholesome
kind, a romp with your chil
dron, If you havo any, a social ovon
ing with a neighbor any thing, in fact,
that may properly bo termed innocent
relaxation. This is rational llfo. It is
a sort of lifo that may bo warranted to
wear well, and it will not bo clouded
with fits of tho blues. Ho who lives It
will bo younger in fooling at threo
scoro than tho fast man, whoso career
has boon a gallop aftor oxcitemont at
thlrty-flvo.
