SOCIAL DIFFERENCES INEVITABLE.
Dr. J. SI. Buckley Explains the Impossi¬
bility of Human Equality.
Were a single family to be cast upon
the shore of a fertile but uninhabited
island, tbe struggle between man and
nature would begin at once. They
might live to tbe full limit of human
life without once having the problems
of civil and social inequalities thrust
upon them. Such terms as “civil gov¬
ernment,” “rights of property,” “laws
of inheritance,” “private property,”
“capital and labor,” “higher and lower
classes,” and the ideas for which they
stand, might never be known to them.
But as the population increased, re¬
strictions on the use of property and
government in some form would be
required. After a few generations,
among the multitude varying degrees
of ability, physical and mental, would
be found. Social differences would
arise, and be perpetuated by dissimilar
environments.
That which w r ould inevitably occur
on such au island manifests itself in
all parts of the world. Customs and
laws differ, but wherever society exists
several general distinctions appeal’.
The poor, including not only paupers
and the indigent, but those who earn
barely enough to support them, and
whom the sickness of two or three days
would transform into objects of char¬
ity, constitute in most countries an im¬
mense majority.
In the United States, owing to extent
of territory, fertility of soil, mineral re¬
sources, timber, navigable rivers, sea
coast, variety of climate, isolation and
tbe need of development, the poor
have been less numerous than in the
Old World, but they are now increas¬
ing more rapidly than heretofore.
At the other extreme are the rich,
the mere income of whose possessions
at current interest, with only the care
necessary to superintend their invest¬
ments, is sufficient to support them in
luxury, though many of them may con¬
tinue in business for its pleasure and
power, or in the hope of adding to their
wealth. Between these is the great
middle class, having “neither riches
nor poverty,” subdivided into those
who are hopefully pressing upward to
the envied station of the rich, and those
who, from infirmity, losses, the rise of
new modes of transacting business to
which they cannot adapt themselves,
and misfortunes, are declining toward
poverty.
Intellectual gifts and acquisitions
make other distinctions. In all na¬
tions the number of the ignorant is far
greater than that of the learned, while
in the first powers of the globe a large
number are well informed.—Dr. J. M.
Buckley in Harper’s.
Dreams.
Tlie whole cosmos is in a man’s
brains—as much of it, at least, as a
man’s brains will hold; perhaps it is
nowhere else. And when sleep relaxes
the will, and there are no earthly sur¬
roundings to distract attention—no
duty, pain or pleasure to compel it—
riderless Fancy takes the bit in its teeth,
and the whole cosmos goes mad and
has its wild will of us.
Ineffable false joys, unspeakable false
terror and distress, strange phantoms
only seen as in a glass darkly, chase
each other without rhyme or reason,
and play hide and seek across the twi¬
lit field and through the dark recesses
of our clouded and imperfect conscious¬
ness.
And the false terrors and distress,
however unspeakable, are no worse
than such real terrors and distress as
are only too often the waking lot of
man, or even so bad, but the ineffable
false joys transcend all possible human
felicity while they last, and a little
while it is!
We wake, and wonder, and recall
the slight foundation on which such ul
traliunian bliss has seemed to rest.
What matters the foundation if but
the bliss be there, and the brain has
nerves to feel it.—Harper’s.
A Feather Duster.
When you dress a white hen for mar¬
ket or your table be careful to keep the
wings clean and unbroken. Sprinkle
the joints with a little salt, that they
may dry and cure more perfectly, and
then cover the joint end of the wing
with a bright scrap of plush or velvet
to the depth of three inches.
I made several of these dainty white
dusters for Christmas presents, and
they were very pretty as well as useful.
I feather stitched the blue plush that
covered the handle with old gold em¬
broidery silk, making three bars
of stitching down the back of the
plush, finishing the duster with a pretty
bow and long loop of blue or old gold
ribbon. — Clarissa Potter in Good
Housekeeping.

FELL WHILE CHARGING.
Death of a Young Soldier Who Would
Have Been Dishonored Had He Lived.
“Toward the close of the rebellion,”
said a grizzled veteran of the late war,
who, strangely enough, never fights his
battles over again unless he is pressed
to do so by friends who were not there,
“I saw' a young man die dishonored,
who, 1 believe, was the victim of
wretchedly unfortunate circumstances.
I don’t know what liis name was, and
I should not mention it if I did, but he
was not more thali seventeen years old,
and lie was beside me as we charged
some Confederate breastworks during
the preliminary skirmishing that pre¬
ceded the battle of Gettysburg. He
was unmistakably very much fright¬
ened, for he had been sent to the front
with a batch of raw recruits, and this
was the first engagement he had par¬
ticipated in.
“His face was ashy pale, and more
than once I saw him looking back over
his shoulder. But he held his musket
firmly, and, he and I being about the
same height, the point of his bayonet
was in au almost unwavering line with
mine. As I notice tlii3 I remember
thinking, ‘This young fellow will make
a good soldier yet if the bullets spare
him.’
“The fire was very heavy as we drew
up to the works, and our men went
down by scores. Suddenly I saw the
lad beside me roll over, and several
others observed him falling, for he had
attracted a good deal of attention by
his youth and evident nervousness.
t» 1 That fellow’s fear didn’t deceive
him,’ muttered the man who closed
into Ills place. ‘His fighting days are
over.'
“We carried the breastworks with
great loss, and there was no more skir¬
mishing that day. In the evening, sit¬
ting at the campfire, watching the coffee
boil with the rest of us, was the recruit
whom we had seen, as we supposed,
shot down in the morning. Beyond
some scratches and bruises, caused by
the soldiers in the rear trampling him,
be was not hint at all. He told us, in
a shamefaced way, that he had tripped
and fallen to the ground, and that he
was unable to get up in time to join in
the attack.
“Not one of us believed his story.
We were convinced that he had pur¬
posely dropped to get out of the fire.
The officers of the regiment held the
same opinion when they heard of the
matter, and the young man had a nar¬
row escape of being tried by drumhead
court martial and shot for rank cow¬
ardice that night. He pleaded his case
so earnestly, however, that he got the
benefit of the doubt and another chance.
“The other chance came the next
day. We were advancing toward Get¬
tysburg, and again we were ordered to
charge on some outlying sandworks,
from which the rebel marksmen were
harassing , . _ For the second ... time the
us.
boy was at iny side as we rushed on,
and again I noticed his pale face and
compressed lips, though I detected no
“ ‘Brace yourself up, my lad,’ I said.
‘It will all be over in a minute.’
“I had hardly spoken when he pitched
forward on his face. He fell exactly as
he had gone down the preceding day.
“ ‘I hope lie has a bullet in him thio
time,’ I said to the man who filled the
gap he had made.
“ ‘If he hasn’t he will have before
sundown,’ was the grim rejoinder.
“A couple of hours later the dead
body of the boy was found on the
cleared field. Ho had killed himself.
The shoe and stocking were off one of
his feet, and his bare toe was pressed
upon the trigger of his empty musket.
The muzzle of the piece was in his
mouth, and the bullet had passed up¬
ward through his brain. Nearly all
the regiment believed that, in a frenzy
of terror, he had thrown himself down
to escape the danger of the moment,
and then, realizing the utter hopeless¬
ness of his position, had summoned
sufficient resolution to take his own
life. But I always fancied that he
may have tripped twice, and, despair¬
ing of explaining the cause of his fall¬
ing the second time, blown out his
brains. Under any circumstances, that
was the wisest thing he could have
done.”—New York Recorder.
Woman’s Influence Among the Bedouins.
How many people know that among
the Bedouin Arabs respect for woman
is so great that at her command the
cimeter uplifted to strike must fall
harmless. A murderer or a thief can¬
not be touched if he is under the pro¬
tection of a woman, and tiie right of
their power to pardon is recognized so
completely that in some tribes where
the women never appear before tbe
men and have their own separate tents
the thief who is being pursued can save
himself by getting close to the tent and
calling out, “I am under the protection
of the harem I” As this is very loudly
said the women hear it, and they call
out together, “Fly from him I” And
that man, even if he has been con¬
demned to death by the prince himself,
is pardoned at once and can goat large.
