What aspe.-taclc! A comedy and tragedy
at one and the same time There they go!
Mordecai, who had been despised, Hainan, now
started and robed, m the stirrups, iiram-ii'ig,
the chancellor, tfuok holding the

Although so Ahusu^rus many years and

of Hainan w,- may draw living lessons or

over Cedar Rapids, Io.va,
encounters •d a violent rain aud tlutiuler

gathered about them on the streets aud

A i£ivau majority of these birds do not

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
Truth in one age i- error in the nexl.
< - ood manners cover defects fora

The best government is self-govern¬
ment.
Iletter a crust with honor anti in¬
tegrity than untold millions won by
fra ;d and dishonor.
'The more business a man has to do
the more he is able to accomplish, for
he learns to economize Ids time.
Love is the loadstone of life.
Smiles, cheering words, and helpful
deedr. are the sunshine of our days.
Kill out the superstitions with the
truths of science. Banish gods and
ghosts by the light of knowledge ami

ie good can never he happy while
seeing others miserable around them.
The truly kind will share their last
crust even with the starving cur.
Be ready to face all thy words and
all thv deeds, and life will then have
no pitfalls for the; nor wilt thou have
cause to fear death or aught that may
conic after it.

deny that ladies intend to adopt the
manly saddle, and they ought to know.
One tailor has devised a novelty which
is a kind of adaptation of the divided
skirt for riding purposes. The habit
skirt is dived at the back, and the loose
material forms wide leglets. The
great advantage of this skirt is, that
should the rider have a fall, there is

What an Author Got.
Among many agreeable people inter¬
ested in the passage of the Internation¬
al Copyright : ill before Congress ■
which is intended to protect American
authors from the piratical publishers
abrq:.d, is Julian Hawthorne, the son
of Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author of
“The Scarlet Letter,” and President
Frank Pierce’s Consul to Liverpool.
Julian Hawthorne is just 40 years of
ago, 5 feet ii indies high, educated at
n German university, and is an athlete.
Julian Hawthorne tells his experi¬
ence with one of the best known pub¬
lishing houses in London, which gave
him a satisfactory round sum for a
short volume of stories, with an agree
incjtf for one-fourth after deducting
expenses of publishing.
Irftst July Mr. Hawthorne received a
polite letter from that ti: m saying they
could no! make up his account before
the then coming month of January.
About the middle of last January a
letter came to Mr. Hawthorne enclos¬
ing an itemized account of the firm.
U ii« letter enclosed a check for 48
cents which was the sum total of Ju¬
lian Hawthorne’s profits on his book
for the year 1889.— Philadelphia lu-
