"All the world's a stage, and all the
men and women, merely players."
When Shakespeare wrote that, he compared the world to the dramatic stage.
We refer only to one of the games of
our childhood, that is being daily acted
before us all.
If you remember the old time game,
all the participants have corners except
the unfortunate one in the centre, who,
as soon as the signal is given, endeavors
to take possession of one of the vacant
places, when the occupant leaves it.
So the success iu the game consists
in obtaining a corner.
Let us consider the world as our
scene of action in this game. As we
look upon the actors, they seem to be
eagerly engaged in this old-fashioned
game,—"Pussy wauts a corner." They
are all striving for position, wealth, or
power. More than one occupys positions in the centre, uncertain, and hesitating, where to go, or whose corner
to seek. If he remains quiet, and inactive, he loses a place.
Firm, decided action and fixed aim
are necessary to secure it.
"The golden opportunity is never
offered twice; seize.then the hour when
fortune smiles and duty points the
way."
For instance let us look upou the
political stage. Perhaps with no other
class of people is this game better illustrated than with the politicians of
the day.
There are many waiting in the centre
to occupy the vicant corners.
In the next presidential campaign
the signal may he given, places may be
changed, and those in the centre will
rush to occupy vacant places, and there
they will remain until the next signal
is given, aud another game begun.
There are certain professions, callings, and trades, which are held the
highest, the most houorable, and the
most respectable: so the whole world
is rushing after them.
Many times* people get into wrong
places; a square peg in a round hole,
and a round peg iu a square hole; so a
great deal of time is lost, in a corner or
place for which one is not adapted.
One cannot grow and develope symmetrically, unless he is planted in the
right soil. When a person finds a work
which he enjoys, he has gained, one of
life's victories. All thrifty and successful men become so, from selecting intelligently their work. As every tool
is adapted and made for a certain kind
of work, only; so has every person some
special power for which he is best
adapted.
A penknife is not suitalde nor strong
enough to cub down a tree but au axe is,
A vuce hoiise is uot fit for labor like
the strong aud sturdy Normandy, that
draws huge loads through the streets.
Wheu every thiug is in its proper
place, and is doing its legitimate work,
then it is pleasing and agreeable. The
lily U out of place iu the vegetable garden, as the potato is, in the hot house.
Therefore how necessary it is before
rushing for our corners, to examine
ourselves carefully and our prospective
calling to see our fitness. "Blessed is
he who has found his work; let him
ask no other blessedness."
Man j' st, first raJ;ehla.Gksm.ith hasbeen
Spoiled in sv fifthrute minister.
. ''Labor ia one of the great elements
of society—the great substantial interest
on which we all stand."
Work, is tho lot of all the human
race, aud itis just as honorable in apron
and shirt sleeves, at the anvil or the
plow, as in the pulpit, or in the judge's
seat.
It is not only the exorcise of the body,
but the mind, for whatever a man finds
to do and does woll he is accomplishing
his mission. "Laziness grows on people; it begins in cobwebs and ends in
iron chains.**
But work must be slave, ant} not the
master; it mus,t he the means to gain
the desired end, and must uot make a
slave of the worker, so the direction of
the mind aud body must be changed.
Play is as necessary to the mind of
the old as well aa the young in order to
balance well the scales.
Recreation is as necessary to develope
the organs of life as work. It is the
natural outlet of the feelings that God
has given us, aud it is decidedly wrong
to check and thwart these impulses ia
childhood.
A child who is active and eager in
play, is eager and active in his work.
Whoever heard of a child who was
lazy and inactive on the play-ground,
who was uot the same in work?
The boy who is forbidden a harmless
recreation with his companions is often
led to practice deceit in seeking a more
harmful one, and often times it has
changed his whole career. ,
There are some women who are eagerly watching and waiting to rush into
those politii

The obstacles in the political field
are not seen from the distance, and
when woman arrives there she will find
that her nature, discipline,and training
have not fitted her to overcome them.
"Women love energy and good results, the principle and its goal, but
they are ignorant of the long road which
leads to that goal appreciating neither
the time nor continuity of effort necessary."
And tQ. my mind she, who wants
woman's rights, wants woman's charms.
Illustrations of those who have filled
their proper places and have been
bright and shining lights to the w8rli
are many.
In woman's realm we need only mention H. B. Stowe, in her vindication of
slavery, F. Nightengale, in her ministrations to the sick and wounded in the
carnrj, and on the battle-field.
Julia Ward Howe, whose stirring
lines have inspired many a drooping
heart, and there are many unknown
heroines, whose quiet influences at
home have fitted more than one for the
battle of life, and to them be all glory.
"No stream in its course flows seaward how lonely soever its course, but
what some land is gladdened. No star
ever rose and set without influence
somewhere."
Because they have not strode upon the
platform and in shrill tones have not
expressed their views on religion, morality, or politics, and gained a not to
be enyied notoriety because of their
clamorings, none the less, but all the
more are they these silent watchers by
the home and hearth, to be honored,
cherished, and reverenced as the most
sacred of all.
"No life can be pure in its purpose,
and strong in its strife, and all life not
be purer and stronger thereby," but
polished brass will pass upon more people than rough gold.
"The mother, in her office, holds the
the key of the soul; and she it is who
stamps the coru of character,and makes
the being who would be a savage, but
for her gentle cares, a christian mar."
Now, although imperfectly, wo have
shown how and where this exciting
game is played, yet It is,for us all to be
arbiters of our- own destines. And let
us not blindly rush Into vacant corners,
which we may be as anxious to run from
as to run into. But let us first prepare
for our own special calling aud then
look for the best corner in which to
practice it.
Remembering above all that
"Our lives are albums written through
With good or ill, with false or true:
And as the blessed angles turn the pages
Of our years. God graut they read
The good with smiles and blot the ill with tears.
Pool Selling at. Horse, Races.
If tbe officials of the Stockbridge
Driving Association will take the
trouble to read section 2029 of the first
volume of Howell's Statues, they will
see that there is s law agaiust pool selling and gaming at horse racing aud
that those in authority whp,knowingly,
permit selling of pools lay themselves
liable to a prosecution for* a misdemeanor and upon conviction are liable
to a fine of five hundred dollars and
threemouths iuiprisonmeui,. Tbey will
also see that whoever engages in pool
selling is liable iu tlie same sum and
six months imprisonment. Having
read the l;uv If they will take dowu the
51 Michigan Supreme Court report and
turn to the Pa§a of the People against
Frank Welthoff, page 203, they will
sea that the supreme court has declared
as follows: Keeping a pool-room for
selling-pools on horse races aud ball
games is within the statue punisning
the keeping or maintaining of a gaining; room or gaming table or of any
game of skill or chance. Gaming exists
wherever a stake is laid on the chances
of a game, and baseball and horse rac-
iug are games and so Is any pooling
scheme iu betting thereon." Now, the
legislature of this state has seen lit to
make this law as a means of preserving
public morals, aud it is highly proper
that it be enforced. Few if any people would object to horse racing per
sec: it is the accompaniments and the
taw degrading tendencies occasioned by
its gambling features that render it objectionable. We believe it to be the
duty of good citizens to see that the
law against pool selling be enforced,
that complain te. be made and every cas,e
of gambling and keeping of places for
gambling bo prosecuted,—-Stockbridge

Netting Pheasants.
One of the most ingenious methods
practiced by poachers for the purpose
of netting pheasants is that in which a
game cock is fitted with artificial spurs
and then carried to the preserves.
Then the game bird crows, one or two
more of the cock pheasants immediately respond and advance to fight. Iu
this way sometimes five or six pheasants are taken, while the game cock
remains unhurt.
THE CREAT BEAR.
A Few Pointers About the Dipper and tlie
North Star.
Most people on a clear day can,
without a watch or other timepiece,
form a close approximate idea of * the
time of day by the position of the sun,
but few, perhaps, have guessed at any
similiar method of computing the time
during the night 'without any other
means than the "starry skies." Notwithstanding, a fairly reliable indicator can be found in the Northern skies
on every cloudless night. As is generally known, the group of fixed stars
called the "Dipper" makes^an apparent
revolution toward the north star in
every twenty-four hours, with the two
stars forming the outer elevation of
the bowl of the dipper pointing nearly directly to the polar star continuously.
If the position of the "pointers" is
taken to any given hour, say 6 o'clock
iu the evening in the winter time and
as soon as it is dark iu the summer,
the hour can thereafter be pretty accurately measured by the eye during
the night. Frequent observations of
positions will have to he made at the
given hour, as, owing to the Constant
changing of the earth's position, in
space, the position of the "pointers"
in relation to our point of observation
and the star also change. Observations taken during a year and impressed on the mind will make a very
good time indicator of that part of
celestial space.
An Irish Bull.
"I saw a genuine Irish bull in the
Post recently" remarked a famous
proverbialist, "and I waut to ask you
if you ever heard Mike's own definition
of an Irish bull," when a lady asked
him if he could tell hor what one was.
"'Yes, mum: I can do that, mum,' said
Michael. 'If you are driviif along the
highway and you see three cows lyin'
down in a pasture and wan of tliim's
standin1 up, why that wan is an Irish
bull.'"—Washington Post.

Seven Years Without a Birthday.
A Scottish clergyman who died nearly thirty 3-ears ago, Mr. Leishman of
Kinross, used to tell that he had once
been seven years without a birthday.
The statement puzzled most who heard
it. They could see that, if he hail
been born on the 29th of February, he
would have no birthday except in leap-
year. But as leap-year comes once in
four years, and this accounts for a gap
of three years only; their first thought
would therefore naturally be that the
old man, who in -fact was fond of a
harmless jest, was somehow jesting
about the seven. There was, however,
no joke or trick in his assertion. At
the present time there can be very
few, if there are any, who have thi*
tale to tell of themselves, for one who
can tell it must have been born on the
29th of February at least ninety-six
years ago. But a similar line of missing dates is now soon to returnjand indeed there are no doubt some readers
of this page who will have only one
birthday to celebrate for nearly twelve
years to come.
The solution of the puzzle is to be
found in the fact, which does not appear to be very widely known, that
the year 1800 was not a leap-year and
1900 will not be. The February of the
present year had twenty-nine days:
but in all the seven j-ears intervening
between lS96'and 1901, as well as ii)
the three between 1892 and 1896, thai
month will have only twenty-eight.—
