After I had accumulated » handsome competence as city editor of tha old morning Sentinel at Laramie City, and had married and gone to housekeeping with a gat stove and other luxuries, «ny place on the Sentinel was token by a newspaper man named Hopkins who had just graduated from a business col lege and who brought a nice glnsad grip sack and a diploma with him that had never been used. Hopkins wrote a fine Spencerian hand and wore a black and ton dog wherever he went. The boys were illing to overlook the copper-plate' bnt they diew the line at tbe dog. He not only wrote in beautiful style but he copied his manuscript, so that when it went into the printer it wac as pret- . ty as a wedding invitation. Hopkins ran the city page nine days anjl then he came into the city hall where 1 was trying a simple drank and bade me adieu. I just say this to show bow difficult it is for a fine penman to get ahead as a journalist. Of coarse good reliable writers like Knox and John Hancock may become great, but they have to be men of sterling ability to atari with. I have some of the most blood card- ling horrors preserved for tbe purpose of showing Hopkins’ wonderful and vivid style. I will throw them in. “A little son of onr esteemed fellow- townsman, J. H. Hayford, suffered greatly last evening with virulent col ic, bnt this a. a* we go to press, is sleeping easily. ’ Think of shaking the social fonnda- s of a mountain mining and atook n with such grim, nervous prostra- asthat! The next day he start led Soatbern Wyoming and Northern Colorado and Utah, with the madden ing statement that “onr genial friend Leopold Gntaenhoven’e fine yellow dog, Florence Nightengale, had been seriously threatened with insomania.” That was tb« style of mental cali«- tlienics be gave us in a town where death by opium and ropium was liable to occur, and where five men with their Mexican spurs ou climbed one telegraph pole in one night and sauntered iato the remote indefinitely. Hopkins told that he had tried to do what waa right, bnt that he had not succeeded very well. He wrnog my band and Lady Best was, however, by no means comforted hy this intelligence. ‘Arthur had been carrying on with this girl un known to her and hence * the 'reason of his dejection and listlessneaa. Of coarse tbe neighbors were right; love wae the Tool of the evil. And to think of the litilo minx forcing herself in here un der Hannah's auspices. Oh! i* was too bad-very much too bad; she had been treated sbamefcUy!” • And her heart, too full to speak with out committing herself, which pride pre vented when she remembered that his niece had byen conniving to deceive her, ■he weut indoors, np ipto her own room, of which aha locked the door, and then indulged in the luxury of a tempestuous burst of tears. from the day the marriage was finally settled, she began to nnbend and find place for Agatha in her capacious heart, showering upon the g*ri—> very gratitude for finding that her lor for Arthur was all a mistake—as many kindnesses and present* ms she bestow- ‘ on her well-beloved Hannah. And when, at last, the two m: es took place at Milton Hall same day, the uninitiated would have thought that Lady Best was the mother of both bride*.—Cassell. Lord Wolseley on Success. The following letter from Lord Wol- •eley wae read at a children’s enter tainment: 1 hope your children’s en tertainment will be a complete success. Please tell them from that I believe mccesa in life i* within tbe teach of all who set before them on aim and an bition that is not beyond tbe tol- :■ and ability which God has he wed upon them. We should all begin life with a determination to do well whatever we take in hand, and if that determination be adhered to, with the pluck for which Englishmen ate renowned, success according to the na ture and quality of our braiu power, is, i think, a certainty. Had I begun life as a tinker my earnest eudea' would have been to have made better r »ta and pan* than my neighbors, and think I may venture to say without any. vanity that with God’* blessing I should have been fairly snccesslnl. The first step ou the Udder that leads (o success is the firm determination succeed; the next is the possession of that moral and physical con rage which will enable one to monnt np, rang af ter rang, until the top ie reached. The best men make a false step now and then, and sqme even have very bad falls.
