READING FOR REST.
KflTert of tho Rf-atral Hook The Deeper
fitnallea to lie 'onltlretI Work.
Nothing i moro restful to the mind than a
wihely wlectcil work of travel, description
or a judicitiiiHly helecttl rorainee. The ro
iimiiffH int common aro too weak, and
their wit Miiks too near to tho lino of nilli
liess, to nir. r niiifli r('io to a iemiii funiil
inr with thelxt writ-rs, and tho t-ir.-ft of
Kueh pr.Hlni-t ions is to deprave tho taste or
to c-xt-ito irritntit.ii. A restful lMM.k to a tired
bra in must protliiet; in the iliind of the reader
n sense of satisfactioii with linli iate stimu
lus. A tanm moral essny, a htory in whieh
nil Ix-liavo well, g to hleep every night at
and rise every morning at 5 to listen to tho
birds sine;, will not kiifliee; and, on tho other
bund, a narrative that requir.n tho closet-t
aii.dysis, ami w hie h apears to Imj ct.iistructctl
j upon this principle tf leaving the readers in
doubt as to the churuftcr of tho hemes, is
! but a pieet- of int. II't-t nal tliKst-tion in tlis
- piii.se, and would iM-tU r lo real for work
' than for rest.
i Everything that relates to history, science,
! philosophy and tin; deeper studies of human
j tint art; should lie handled ns work. Yet
nature rewards the worker by making in tho
end what nt lirst was dillieult, a charm to
' iii a. So t lint the Keeinlist must lxi uin his
j ;u.-nd lest ho negli-et tins work of reading
what ho knows ho needs for tho more eon-
penial occupation of reading what toothers
would lo work, but to him has become
pleasure. Tho lift of Charles Darwin, just
published, shows that hobroughtt.ua prac
tical "atrophy of the brain," utterly changed
his tastes, and lecamo theidavoof lines of
nsMK-iatioii to which he had surrendered him
self wholly.
What is work for one person may Iks rest
for .another; and it is equally important to
consider that what may bo work for a ier
koii at one time may Iks rest at another.
Nt-wspaiiers require no work, and ho who
reads them exclusively will in a few years
Ik? unable to do intellectual work. Many
books of a literary character require little or
no work. Books made to sell Ixdong gener
ally to the class that can lie rend as fast as
the eye can discern the letters. Every per
wii should scl.ft his standard authors with
out regard to their iMipularity. It is raro
that a really gtxnl lxiok, to Iks mastered by
work, has a large sale. Restful books, from
th ir very nature, may lieconus jiopular,
except among those who make utility their
god and restrict t!ie definition of utility to
w hat can be turned to practical use, or has a
technical or commercial value, and those
whose intellects are so small and sensibilities
so abnormally largo that they need exhaust
ing excitement to hallucinate them iuto the
lx-lief that they aro happy. Rev. J. M.
Buckley in The C'hautauquan.
As lSatl ns a Man.
Did you ever encounter a demonstratively
drunken woman in a st reet conveyance, where
you could not relieve yourself of her presence
within a certain time without inconvenience i
I diil, the other day or rather the other
night, for I was on my way to a down town
theatre. She was a young woman perhaps
t!.". Her dress was neat enough, but tawdry,
and she carried a pretty balio in her arms,
w liieh could not have licen more than (5 months
old. The car was well tilled, but not so well
as she was. Suddenly she removed a stony
stari; from a fat man in the corner, and en
deavored to look out of tho window behind
her, maintain the upright untl hold tho baby
i.iiualtancously.
"Won'er where wo are?" she said aloud.
"Guess we'll be late home, baby. Do j-ou
hear, mamma's tiet. Who cares! Hoop la.
Everything goes don't it, lmby, hey?"
Three or four whisky laden kisses hero at
tested the mother's airection. The ladies
present shuddered, the gentlemen scowled,
and the young man who was smoking a bad
cigar on the rear platform grinned, while a
nt-wslioy engaged in stealing a rides jieered
through the glass and tried to flirt with tho
infant. For a few moments tho exhilarated
female seemed lost in thought, during which
time the little one was only saved from a
descent to the floor by a kindly disposed
noighlior. Then sho made a sudden dive for
her pwket.
"Hullo ain't got my night key. I say,
baby, what you think o' that? We've lost
tho key. Well, everything goes, and I sup
poso we've got to make a racket to get' in.
Whoop! It'sall rightanyhow ain't it, baby?
Say, conductor"
Here she glared at tho man with a bad
cigar, and he stopped grinning and looked
another way.
"Hullo, this is a bobtail. No conductor on
bobtail. Forgot all'bout that ha! ha! Well,
that's funny, too, ain't it, baby? But every
thing gx?s, so's all right. Whoop! Say,
mister, where's Houston street I wanter get
otr at Houston street. This is that's all
right. Come along, baby. Won'er where that
key's gone, anyhow? 'Scuse me,"
ilere sho nearly sttt down on tho fat man.
The ladies present drew back as she passed
them, and tho men looked tho other way.
The man with tho had cigar said: "Where
yei- gettin" to brace up," when she staggered
against him and nearly dropped the baby.
The newsboy got off tho step, seized her arm,
piloted her to the curb, whistled at the baby
a:nl waited for the next car. "Clara Belle"

The Guide ai:tl tbe Grizzlies.
While I believe that a grizzly bear will, in
a majority of cases, wait for a tight with
man, and take pains to get in the way of one,
there are times when it will seem to think
better of it and back out. A remarkable in
stance of this kind I hoard of once, where a
famous Manitoba guide courageously ad
vanced upon three grizzlies, an old she one
n.id two half grown young liears, and by a
series of ridiculous nionkcj- shines and acro
batic maneuvers on the ground within a
rod or two of the bears filled them with such
astonishment and apparent fear that the
three ri-treated into the woods with alj rapid
it v. The guide's gun had snapped in both
barrels, he having drawn on the old bear be
fore the young ones appeared. He afterward
said that it was a lit of desperation that he
tried t he turning of a handspring, and jump
ing up and down, flopping his hands, and re
sorting to other unhuntcrlike measures. Ho
had been told once that a hunter had fright
ened a mountain lion aw ay by similar ab
surd movements, and he found that it worked
to jierfection in the case of the bears, al
though be did pot encourage any one to go
hutitins grizzlies ai med with nothing more
j than a capacity to turn somersaults." ew

Talk of originality. It was original and
: j retty, and an astonishing idea for an unsen
, timental man to conceive of. A lady up town
; was showing to her friends a very haudsome
ring her husband had given her. It was an
j oval of diamonds, with three pretty little
opaque bluish white stones in the center.
; Nobody could tell what those stones were,
and everybody got curious to know. She did
not know herself. .Her husband had Dot told

AVugntr A Critical Moment 1 lie I-ist
Shot Sufe.
Sometimes tho muh- is called uo!i fr
cptt-inl service, retpiiriug .pialities for " Inch
lie docs not generally receive credit. The
lilies wen- tightening about Ciiarli-ston when
Admiral Dahlgren's lli-ot lie an oj .orations in
the hurlM.r, and rendered it practicable for
the troops on shore to ad vane-will some
Iiojks tit toeing ablo to hold m int:s previously
untenable. During tho niht u t Ictachuiwut
of the Tenth corjw dislodged a picket t .m
t ho eastern end of Morris island, mid when
daylight enmo hail thrown up ipiito a formid
able leginniiig for a lield work. But the pla-
was within easy range of Fort Sumter and
Battery Wagner, und every Confederate gun
that could Iks brought to bear begun to drop
shell into tho little eurt h work. It, was thought
that an uttonipt was idx.ut to I o made to
curry the place by assault, ami, while thero
were men enough to hold it, they were a little
short of ammunition. The only practicable
road was a mile and a half of hard, smooth
sand lieach, commanded from end to end by
the Confederate batteries.
But there was a comliinatio:i in the Federal
camp that was equal to tho emergency;
namely, a fleet niulo and u plucky driver.
Th's mule is meiit ioii'-d lirst, only because ho
has long since kicked his last kick, but the
driver, if he still survives, will uckw.wletlg-s
that without tht) mule h'scould not havetioti;
what he did. It may be a-umcd Lhat tho
mule had a good feed of oats before he was
called upon to run the gauntlet, amLpo.sil.!;.'
the driver, too, may then have felt just died
in fortifying tiio inner mat;. Be that as it
may. just before noon a few hoses of ani!,!ii
nit ion were thrown into! he lightest availabl j
wagon, and, after looking the han.t s o r
carefully, the driver took his r. :d. ir. the
shelter of tho sand hills. Tho undo stood
v.ith his extensive eais raking aft and a
wicked gleam in his eye, j:s if the oats v.t iv
beginning to rhw into Ids brain.
"(lood-by, boys! (i'uo, lnu'e!"' and tho
equipage started down throu?'h the dry rand
to the hard level cf the bench. Links shooli
hi.i head and executed n t'emi-voit whin h-s
felv. the dam;) sand under his fc.-t, but dri'. cr
.soothed him wit h endearing words. J t I.r.d not
not yet dawned upon the Cenf eta rabst h:.t tho
e;:pedition was intended for the relief of tho
garrison. But presently tho gleam of inkl
iigenco v"as indicated with a rush in the
shape of a shell from tho t-:oiiike;u. anglo
of Sumter. It struck tho watir fairly
in line, ricocheted, and burst over in
the marsh; but it was tho signal for action.
Up went tho whip, and tho mule gathered
his mighty hind legs under him. For a mo
ment it was uncertain whether he was go.' tig
to kick or run, lint a few remarks from the
driver convinced him that there was de
mand for forward movement, so h "lit out.
for all he was worth." At least thirty guns
commanded that stretch of beach, and thi.y
pounded away as fast ns they could be tired.
Now and then a .shell would bur.-it rather too
near tho mule's cars for comfort, and he
would sheer violently and try to make for
homo. But the gallant driver plied the lash,
and hold him to his work.
At length a ten inch shell tore up the
bench and exploded so near that the mule
was entirely demoralised; but not so his
driver. leaping down from his seat he
caught the niulo by tho head, backed him
rapidly round once or twice, and was o:'i
again on tho keen jump before tho gunners
could get his range as a lixed object. On he
weni.and at last dashed into 1 ho redoul.t ;
but there was no shelter i;i it for tho mule.
His ears waved conspicuously above the lor
lying paraict.
The ammunition boxrs wcro tumbled oub
unceremoniously, and the mule's i!o.,o poink-o'
for home! With the lightened 1 ad and the
prospects of unlimited fodder, he beat tho pre
vious record. But the Confederate artillerists
were on their metal now. They had failed to
stop tho supplies, but their hearts burned -r
revenge. Their shots now came more frat-.
tho rear, and bets were freely oiTercd with -.)
takers, on what the result would bo should
the mule have a fair chance to hick a tea
inch shell, as it were, -'on the fly." The
crescendo scream of shell chasing him up the
beach, lent wings to his heel.;, nud ho fiiriy
flew toward the sheltering sand hills. There
were only a few rods more to be covered,
when some careful gunner made a close cal
culation as to the lengthening ranges, and
pulled his lanyard almost ia the nick of Time.
Tho huge mass of iron struck tho lieaeh. r.j it
seemed to the anxious spectators, exact J v be
hind tho wagon, and tho next instant noth
ing was to bo seen there but a cloud of whilo
smoke and brown sand. In an instant, how
ever, this floated away, and the mule war.
seen vigorously reducing to kindling wood
what was left of the Ciuartermastfr's wagon.
And tlso driver, where is he? Well, ho was
apparently knocked over bj-the explosion,
but he got on his feet in a moment, and,
having cut tho traces, was on iho mule's
back in another, waving his hat i;i rospous j
to the cheers that rolled across the water
from Yankee blue jackets, from Confederate
garrisons, and from tho dark blue- nitis.cs
that crowned the distant sand du:ic:.
It is a pity that the driver's nemo h:'s not.

All tho articles which have been written
about "tho books that Lave helped me,"
tacitly assume that what helps me will Leh
you, or that Brown, on learning where Jones
got his mental provender, will order homo a
supply of tho same, and live on it. Nothing
can well bo further from tho truth. Wher
ever these articles do not gratify a harmless
vanity, they are interesting simply rj tho
literary experienco of one more or lets re
spectable human being, and nothing more.
Every man who loves books and reads i hem,
and makes any good uso of them, reads ia tho
line of his own tastes and temperament cr. 1
pursuit Ho is not, and for the iuo..t pra t
cannot be, helped by another man's books,
supposing books to be anything more than
repertories of facts. All must, of course, go
to the same sources of information, or in
other words must consult the same liooks of
reference, but every man who reatls for cul
ture, or for encouragement, or inspiration, or
isower, must choose his own books. Books
that have helped Brown may bo interesting
to Jones, because he loves Brown and likes to
watch the working of his mind; but they
wiil not necessarily help Jones. In fact, the
time ho spent on thorn might be time utterly
wasted, unless there existed the closest simi
larity in pursuits and in character between
the readers. Xew York Post,
