UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE. VThy It Is Earner to Govern Thau to Kua Grocery Store. E WAS saying, when ho awoke ono morning, "I wish I were governor of a small islnnd,nnd had nothing to do but to get up mid govern." It was mi observa tion llllltn tt-nrllitr nf him, and one of general application, for there aro many men who find it very diillcult to get a living on their own resources, to whom it would bo comparatively easy to bo n very fair sort of governor. Everybody who has no olllcial iosition or routine duty on a salary knows that tho most trying mo ment in tho twenty-four hours is t hat in which ho emerges from tho oblivion of sleep and faces life. Everything iierplexing tumbles in upon him, nil the po.siblo vexations of tho day riso up beforo him, and ho is littlo less than a hero if ho gets up cheerful. It is not to bo wondered at that people crnvo olllce, sonio salaried position, in order to escape the anxieties, tho icrsoiial responsi bilities, of a single handed struggle with tho world. It must bo much easier to govern an lsiand than to carry onohnostany retail busi ness. "When tho governor wakes in tho morn ing he thinks first of his salary; ho has not tho least nnxiety about his daily bread or tho support of his tamily. His business is nil laid out for htm; ho has not to create it. Business comes to him; ho does not havo to drum for it. His day is agreeably, even if sympathetically, occupied witli tho troubles of other jieople, and nothing is 60 easy to bear as tho troubles of other people. After ho has had his breakfast, and read over tho "Con stitution," he has nothing to do but to "govern" for a few hours, that is, to decide about things on general principles, and with littlo personal application, and perhapsabout largo concerns which nobody knows anything about, and which aro much easier to dispose of than tho iiernlexing details of private Ufa no nas to vote several times n day, for giving ' a decision is really casting a vote; but that is much easier than to scratch around in all tho anxieties of a retail business. Many men who would innko very respectable presi dents of tho United States could not suc cessfully run a retail grocery store. Tho anxieties of tho grocery would wear them out. For consider tho varied ability that tho grocery requires tho foresight about tho markets, to take advantage of nn eighth per cent, oir or on hero and there: tho vigilnnco required to keep a "full lino" and not over stock, to dispoM) of goods before they gjwil or tho popular taste changes; tho suavity and integrity and duplicity and fairness and adaptability needed to get customers and keep them; tho power to bear the daily and hourly worry; tho courage to face tho ever present siieeter of "failure," which is said to conio ir-'on ninety merehnnts in n hundred; the tact ueoded to meet tho whims and tho complaints of patrons, and tho difficulty of getting the patrons who grumblo most to pay in order to satisfy tho creditors. When tho retail grocer wakens in tho morning he feels that his business is not going to como to him spontaneously; ho thinks of his rivals, of his erilous stock, of his debts and delin quent customers. Ho has no "Constitution" to go by, nothing but his wits and energy to 6et against tho world that day, and every day tho struggle and tho anxiety aro tho same. What a number of details ho has to carry in his head (consider, for instance, how many diirerent kinds of cheese there are, and how different j)eoplo hate and lovo tho samo kind), and how keen must bo his appreciation of tho popular tostol Tho complexities and annoy ances of his business are excessive, and ho cannot afford to mako many mistakes; if ho does, ho will hfco his business, and when a man fails in business (honestly), he loses his nerve, and his career is ended. It is Bimply amazing, when you consider it, the amount of talent shown in what are called tho ordinary businesses o? life. It has often lieen remarked with how littlo wisdom tho world is governed. That is tho reason it is so easy to govern. "Uneasy lies tho head that wears a crown" does not refer to tho discomfort of wearing it, but to the danger of losing it, and of being put back upon one's nativo resources, having to run a grocery or to keep school. Nobody is in such a pitiablo plight as a monarch or politician out of business. It is very diillcult for either to get a living. A man who has once enjoyed tho blessed feeling of awaking every morning with tho thought that ho has a certain solary despises the idea of having to drum up a business by his own talents. It does not dis turb tho waking hour nt all to think that a deputation is wniting in tho next room about a postolllco in Indiana or about the codfish in Newfoundland waters the man can tako a second nap on any such affair; but if ho knows that tho living of himself and family that day depends upon his nctivity and intel ligence, uneasy lien his head. There is some thing so restful and easy about public busi ness! It is so simple! Tako tho aver ago congressman. Tho secretary of tho treasury sends in an elaborate report a budget, in fact involving a complete and harmonious scheme of revenuo and expenditure. Must tho congressman read it? No; it is not necessary to do that; ho only cares for practical measures. Or a financial bill is bro-ight in. Does ho study that bill! He hears it read, at least by title. Does he take pains to inform himself by reading and conversation with experts upon its probable effect? Or an international copyright law is proposed, a measure that will relievo tho j)coplrt of tho United States from tho world wido reputation of sneaking meanness toward foreign authors. Does ho examino tho subject, and try to understand it? That is not necessary. Or it is a ques tion of tariff. Ho is to vote "yes" or "no" on theso proposals. It is not necessary for him to master theso subjects, but it is neces sary for him to know how to vote. And how does ho find out that I In tho flrsS place, by Inquiring what effect tho measuro will have upon tho chanco of election of tho man ho thinks will bo nominated for president, and in the second place, what effect his voto will bavo on his own reelection. Thus tho prin ciples of legislation becomo very much sim plified, and thus I happens that it is com paratively so much easier to govern than it is to run a grocery store.

Thus men are certainly not born free and equal in natural qualities; when they are born tho predicates "free" and "equal" in the political sense nro not ap plicable to them, nnd ns they develop, year by year, the differences in the politi cal potentialities with which they really are born become more and tnoro obvious ly converted into actual differences tho inequality of political faculty shows it self to be n necessary consequence of the inequality of natural faculty. It is probably true that he earliest tnen were nomads. But among a body of naked, wandering savages though there may be no verbally recognized distinc tions of rank or oflice, superior strength and cunning confer authority of a more valid kind than that secured by act of parliament; there may be no property in things, but tho witless man vil bo pov-ert- stricken in ideas, the clever man will bo a capitalist in that same com modity, which in the long run buys nil other commodities; 'one will tniAs opiior amities, the others will make them; and proclaim human equality ns loudly as you like, Witless will serve his brother. So long as men aro men and society is society, human equality will !en dream; and the assumption that it does exist is as untrue in fact as it t-ets the mark of impracticability on every theory of what ought to be which starts from it. Pro fessor Huxley in Popular Science. Senator rainier' 835 l'lates. I hear that Senator Palmer has been entertaining magnificently at Madrid. Mrs. Palmer is a millionaire, and she and the senator aro the most accom plished entertainers at tho capital. Their house hero cost 85,000, and they have a china dinner service which is worth its weight in silver. Senator Palmer bought this at Paris just beforo he came here to tako his seat in the senate, and Gen. Cutcheon was present at tho house at the timo this china was opened. He saw that it was very fine and he asked Palmer how much tho plates cost. Tho senator replied: "I paid $35 apiece for them, and when I bought them in Paris Mrs. Palmer objected, saying, 'Thomas, do you think we can afford to use such expensive dishes as these?' 'O, yes, my dear,' said I. 'I want tho best thing I can get in this world. I live in hope of a hereafter, and when I get to heaven I expect to eat off of just such dishes as these every day, and 1 want as far as possible to get used to my future sur roundings.' 'O,' said she, and the result was that we bought the dishes." Wash ington Letter. Ilatclilni; Chickens In Georgia. While a man in Americus, Ga., was boiling eggs to be used on the luuch counter he heard the chirp of a. chicken.

I " I owe tho same gratitude to Hood's Earsapa rllla tliut one would to his rescuer from a burn ing buil'illug. I was tormented with salt rheum, and had to leave on" work altogether.
