The middle classes In this country , upon whom the nation i has depended for holding the balance % ot power and for acting as mediators f between the two extremes , are diminIshing - | Ishing ; and if things go on at the same J ratio as they are now going , it will not k be very long before there will be no \ middle class in this country , but all will be very rich or very poor , princes • or paupers , and the country will be given up to palaces and hovels. The antagonistic forces are closing la upon each other. The Pennsyl vania miners * strikes , the telegraph operators' strikes , the railroad em ployes' strikes , the movements of the boycotters and the dynamiters are only skirmishes before a general engage ment , or , if you prefer it , escapes of an imprisoned through the safety-valves prisoned force which promises the ex plosion of society. You may pooh- pooh it ; you may say that this trouble , like an angry child , will cry itself to belittle it by calling it sleep ; you may Fourierlsm , or Socialism , or St. Sim- ontsm , or Nihilism , or Communism ; but that will not hinder the fact that it is the mightiest , the darkest , the most terrific threat of this century. I All attempts at pacification have been dead failures , and monopoly is more arrogant , and the trades unions more bitter. "Give us more wages , " cry the employes. "You shall have less. " say the capitalists. "Compel us to do few er hours of toil in a day. " "You shall toil more hours , " say the others. "Then , under certain condition , we will not work at all , " say these. "Then you shall starve , " say those , and the work men gradually using up that which they accumulate in better times , un less there be some radical change , we ahall have soon in this country four million hungry men and women. Now , four millions hungry people cannot be kept quiet. All the enactments of leg islatures and all the constabularies of the cities , and all the army and navy ' of the United States cannot keep four million hungry people quiet. What then ? Will this war between capital and labor be settled by human wis dom ? Never. I shall first show you how this quar rel between monopoly and hard work cannot be stopped. , xmd then I will show you how this controversy will be settled. Futile remedies. In the first place there will come no pacification to this trouble through an outcry against rich men merely because they are rich. There is no member of a trades union on earth that would not be rich if he I could be. Sometimes through a for tunate invention , or through some ac cident of prosperity , a man who had nothing comes to a large estate , and we see him arrogant and supercilious , ' and taking people by the throat just as other people took him by the throat. There is something very mean about human nature when it comes to the ' top. But it is no more a sin to be rich than it is a sin to be poor. There are those who have gathered a great es tate through fraud , and then there are millionaires who have gathered their fortunes through foresight in regard to changes in the markets , and through brilliant business faculty , and every dollar of their estate is as honest as the dollar which the plumber gets for J mending a pipe , or the mason gets for building a wall. There are those who keep in poverty because of their own fault They might have been well-off , but they gave themselves to strong drink , or they smoked or chewed up " their earnings , or they lived beyond ' " their means , while others on the same | wages and on the same salaries went } on to competency. I know a man who [ is all the time complaining of his pov erty and crying out against rich men , while he hlself keeps two dogs , and chews and smokes , and is filled to the chin with whisky and beer ! ; Micawber said to David Copperfield : V "Copperfield-my boy , one pound income - / come , twenty shillings and sixpence expenses : result misery. But. Copper- field , my boy , one pound income , ex penses nineteen shillings' and sixpence - pence ; result , happiness. " And there / are vast multitudes of people who are r "kept poor because they are the victims - tims of their own improvidence. It is no sin to be rich , and it is no sin to be poor. I protest against this out cry which I hear against those who , through economy and self-denial and ' assiduity , have come to large fortune. This bombardment of commercial success - ( -cess will never stop this quarrel be tween capital and labor. Neither will the contest be settled "by cynical and unsympathetic treat ment of the laboring classes. There are those who speak of them as though they were only cattle or draught "horses. Theif nerves are nothing , their domestic comfort is nothing , their happiness is nothing. They have } no more sympathy for them than a hound has for a hare , or a hawk for a hen , or a tiger for a calf. When Jean Valjean , the greatest hero of Vic tor Hugo's writings , after a life of suf fering and hrave endurance , goes into Incarceration and death , they clap the • l)00k shut and say. "Good for him ! " They stamp their feet with indigna tion and say just the opposite of "Save the worklng-classeB. " They have all their sympathies with Shylock , and not with Antonio and Portia. They are plutocrats , and their feelings are in fernal. They are filled with irritation and * irascibility on this subject To stop this awful Imbroglio between capital and labor they will lift not bo much as the tip end of the little finger. Neither will there be any pacification of this angry controversy through vie lence. God never blessed murder. Well , if this controversy between capital and labor cannot be settled by human wisdom , if today capital and labor stand with their thumbs on each other's throat as they do it is time for us to look somewhere else for re lief and it points from my text rose ate and jubilant and puts one hand on the broadcloth shoulder of capital , and puts the other on the home-spun- covered shoulder of toil , and says , with a voice that will grandly and glorious ly settle this , and settle everything , "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you , do you even so to them. " That is , the lady of the house hold will say : "I must treat the maid in the kitchen just as I would like to be treated if I were downstairs , and it were my work to wash , and cook , and sweep , and it were the duty of the maid in the kitchen to preside In this parlor. " The maid in the kitchen must say : "If my employer seems to be more prosperous "than I , that is no fault of hers ; I shall not treat her as an enemy. I will have the same in dustry and fidelity down-stairs as I would expect from my subordinates , if I happened to be the wife of a silk importer. " The owner of an iron mill , having taken a dose of my-text before leav ing home in the morning , will go into his foundry , and , passing into what is called the puddling-room , he will see a man there stripped to the waist , and besweated and exhausted with the labor and the toil and he will say to him : "Why it seems to be very hot in here. You look very much ex hausted. I hear your child is sick with scarlet fever. If you want your wages a little earlier this week so as to pay the nurse and get the medicines , just come into my office any time. " After awhile , crash goes the money market , and there is no more demand for the articles manufactured in that " iron mill , and the owner does not know what to do. He says , "Shall I stop the mill , or shalll run it on half time , or shall I cut down the men's wages ? " He walks the floor of his counting-room all day , hardly knowing what to do. Towards evening he calls all tlfe laborers together. They stand all around , some with arms akimbo , some with folded arms , wondering what the boss is going to do .now. The manufacturer says : "Men , times are very hard ; I don't mats twenty dollars lars where I used to make one hun dred. Somehow , there is no demand now for what we manufacture , or but very little demand. You see I am at vast expense , and I have called jrou to gether this afternoon to see what you would advise. I don't want to shut up the mill , because that would force you out of work , and you have always been very faithful , and I like you. and you seem to like me , and the bairns must be looked after , and your wife will after awhile want a new dress. I don't know what to do. " There is a dead halt for .a minute or two , and then one of the workmen steps out from the ranks of his fel lows , and says : "Boss , you have been very good to us , and when you pros pered we prospered , and now you are in a tight place and I am sorry , and we have got to sympathize with you. I don't know how the others feel , but I propose that we take off twenty per cent from our wages , and that when the times get good you will remember us and raise them again. " The work man looks around to his comrades , and says : "Boys , what do you say to this ? All in favor of my proposition will say ay. " "Ay ! ay ! ay ! " shout two hundred voices. But the mill-owner , getting in some new machinery , exposes himself very much , and takes cold , and it settles into pneumonia , and he dies. In the procession to the tomb are all the workmen , tears rolling down their cheeks , and off upon the ground ; but an hour before the procession gets to the cemetery the wives a jd the chil dren of those workmen are at the grave waiting for the arrival of the funeral pageant. The minister or re ligion may have delivered an eloquent eulogium before they started from the house , but the most impressive things are said that day by the working- classes standing around the tomb. That night in all the cabins of the working-people where they have fam ily prayers the widowhood and the orphanage in the mansion are remem bered. No glaring populations look over the iron fence of the cemetery ; but , hovering over the scene , the bene diction of God and man is coming for the fulfillment of the Christ-like in junction , "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you , do you even so to them. " "Oh , " says some man here , "that is all Utopian , that is apocryphal , that is impossible. " No. I cut out of a pa per this : "One of the pleasantest in cidents recorded in a long time is re ported from Sheffield , England. The wages of the men in the iron works at Sheffield are regulated by a board of arbitration , by whose decision both masters and men are bound. For some time past the iron and steel trade has been etxremely unprofitable , and the employers cannot , without much loss , pay the wages fixed by the board , which neither employers nor employed have the power to change. To avoid this difficulty , the workmen in one of the largest f > teel works in Sheffield hit upon a device as rare as it was gener ous. They offered to work for their employers cze week without any pay whatever. " • But you go with me and I will snpw- you not so far off as Sheffield , Eng land factories , banking houses , store houses , and costly enterprises where this Christ-like injunction of my text Is fully kept , and you could no more get the employer to practice an injus tice upon his men , or the men to con spire against the employer , than you could get your right hand and your left hand , your right eye and your left eye , .your right ear and your left ear , into physiological antagonism. Now , where Is this to begin ? In our homes , in cur stores , on our farms not wait ing for other people to do their duty. Is there a divergence now between the parlor and the kitchen ? Then there is something wrong , either In the par lor or the kitchen , perhaps in both. Are the clerkB in your store Irate against the firm ? Then there is some thing wong , either behind the counter , or in .ac private oflice , or perhaps in both. The great want of the world today is the fulfillment of this Christ-like injunction , that which he promulgated in his sermon Olivetic. All the politic al economists under the archivault of the heavens in convention for a thou sand years cannot settle this contro versy between monopoly and hard work , between capital and labor. Dur ing the Revolutionary war there was a heavy piece of timber to be lifted , per haps for some fortress , 1 and a corporal was overseeing the work , and he was giving commands to some soldiers as they lifted : "Heave away , there ! yo heave ! " Well , the timber was too hofcvy ; they could not get it up. There was a gentleman riding by on a horse , and he stopped and said to this cor poral , "Wny don't you help them lift ? That timber is too heavy for them to lift. " "No , " he said , "Iwon't ; I am a corporal. " The gentleman got off his horse and came up to the place. "Now , " he said to the soldiers , "all to gether yo heave ! " and the timber went to its place. "Now , " said the gentleman to the corporal , "when you have a piece of timber too heavy for the men to lift , and you want help , you send to your commander-in-chief. " It was Washington. Now , that is about all the Gospel I know the Gospel of giving somebody a lift , a lift out of darkness , a lift out of earth into heaven. That is all the Gospel I know the Gospel of helping somebody else to lift. The greatest friend of capitalist and toiler , and the one who will yet bring them together in complete accord , was born one Christmas night while the curtains of heaven swung , stirred by the wings angelic. Owner of all things all the continents , all worlds , and all the islands of light. Capitalist of im mensity , crossing over to'our condition. Coming into our world , not by gate of palace , but by door of barn. Spend ing his first night amid the shepherds. Gathering afterward around him the Jisbermen to be his chief attendants. With adze , and saw , and chisel , and axe , and in a carpenJer _ shop showing himself brother with the tradesmen ? Owner of all things , and yet on a hil lock back of Jerusalem one day re signing everything for others , keeping not so much as a shekel to pay for his obsequies : by charity buried in the suburbs of a city that had cast him out. Before the cross of such a cap italist , and such a carpenter , all men can afford to shake hands and wor ship. Here is the every man's Christ. None so high , but Ee was higher. None so poor , but he was poorer. At his feet the hostile extremes will yet renounce their animosities , and coun tenances which have glowered with the prejudices and revenge of centuries shall brighten with the smile of heaven as he commands : "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you , do you even so to them. " An Italian Solomon. The Duke of Ossone , while Viceroy of Naples , delivered many quaint and clever judgments. The case is related where a young Spanish exquisite named Certrand Solus , while lounging about in the busy part of the city , was run against by a porter carrying a bun dle of wood on his shoulder. The porter had called out , "Make way , please ! " several times , but with out effect. He had then tried to get by without collision , but his bundle caught the young man's velvet dress and tore it. Solus was highly indig nant , and had the porter arrested. The Viceroy , who had privately in vestigated the matter , told the porter to pretend he was dumb , and at the trial to reply by signs to any question that might be put to him. When the case came on , and Solus had made his complaint , the Viceroy turned to the porter and asked him what he had to say in reply. The porter ter only shook his head and made signs with his hands. "What judgment do you want me to give against a dumb man ? " asked the Viceroy. "Oh , your excellency , " replied Solus , falling into the trap , "the man is an imposter. I assure you he is not dumb. Before he ran into me I distinctly heard him cry out , "Make way. ' " "Then , " said the Viceroy sternly , "If you heard him ask you make way for him , why did you not ? The fault of the accident was entirely with your self , and you must give this poor man compensation for the trouble you have given him in bringing him here. " Victoria.

In Guatemala boys have their games and sports as boys elsewhere do , butte to American young folk some of these will appear very odd as well as dan gerous. These little coal black Caribs MERRY-GO-ROUND , are very active and supple , and if they fall they are very apt to light on their feet like a cat. In many of their games ihere is not more than a little grass spread over the ground for the protec tion of their bones , and in some cases 'lone at all. A merry-go-round game B played on a long board balanced over a post , with a large wooden pin projecting up through it at the middle a sort of merry-go-round. The boys choose a partner and one gets on at each end. The opposing to , or as many as like , get inside , near the post , and push the board around as rapidly as possible , until one of the players is thrown off. When one is dislodged from his seat he goes roll ing and bumping along the ground as if he never would ' stop. Another ' game is played GRBASED-POLE GAME , with a "greased pole" peculiarly con structed. It is held in an oblique po sition by tri-posts and a rope running from the top to a stake in the ground. At one side near the bottom is a hoop , on which prizes such as straw hats and handkerchiefs are hanging. The boys go up to the top by a native ladder , and slide down , endeavoring to grasp a prize from the hoop if they get that far without falling. This is a very difficult game , as the contestant has generally slipped round to the underside - side ' of the pole or fallen from it before the hoop is reached. As their little black bodies rub the grease from the pole the prizes disappear more rapidly. The tight rope game is the most diffi- ° ult and perhaps the most dangerous TIGHT-ROPE GAME. ji all. Two posts about eight feet high , sunken in the ground , sup port two wooden triangles on an axle , about nine feet long. From each cor ner of the triangle a rope runs to the corresponding corner of the one at the other end. A prize is placed at one end and the little Carib must make his way across on the ropes to obtain it. The slightest variation of balance or pressure on the ropes and the axle r'volvcs violently , often throwing the contestant to the ground with much fotce. However , it is always pleasing tsee him get up and show his perse- rfTrance. He thinks not of himself , but of the prize , and he must have a new hat or handkerchief even if it does cc.St him a good many bruises. These Ctrib hoys are even more daring on trJter than on land. They almost al- r ways stand up to paddle their little , "dugouts" because they are not tall enough to sit down and do it. Their boats or cayugas , as they call them , are very unsteady , and it is impossible for oue person to pasB another in them. Sometimes in ferrying passengera from the boats the little fellow be comes so excited through his good for tune at earning a real he will" get a wrong place in his bout. He simply jumps into the water , swims to the b-tern , nimbly climbs in and paddles away. No matter how rough the wat er may be , you can see the same num ber of boys out on the sea , standing up in their tottery crafts and paddling hither and thither. One wonders how they manage to stay in them. Livingston. Guatemala. F. 3. A Great Surpr o. When I woke up this morning I did not feel at all like getting up. I told mamma that I had a kind of feeling as if I should be a great deal better if I stayed in bed till noon , as I do some times when I have bronchitis in winter. But mamma smiled and kissed me and said she thought it would be best for me to get up. So , of course , I had to. All the time I was dressing I kept feeling worse and worse , and I didn't want any breakfast at all. "The child isn't well , " said papa. I told him that I thought I should feel a great deal better in bed. and he looked at mamma to see what she thought ; but mamma shook her head , and said I would be better by and by. I kn w what she meant by that , and it only made me feel worse. So , after breakfast I went and lay down on the sofa and shut my eyes ; and I did feel v ry badly indeed. Polly came and sat by me , and fanned me , and asked if my head ached ; but it wasn't my head ex actly. It was a feeling inside me as if my heart kept going' down and down , and then almost stopping , and then go ing on again with a jump. When I saw mamma coming with her bonnet and cloak on , my heart jumped very hard indeed ; and I shut my eyes tight and hoped she would think I was asleep. But she took my hand and aid : "Come , Tommy , dear ! Come with me , and we will have it all over very soon. " I knew by the way she spoke that nothing was of any use , and that I must go. We started , and I walked as slowly as I could , and all the time I felt worse and worse. I asked mamma if people did not die when their hearts stopped , and when she said yes I told her that my heart kept stopping all the time , and that I thought I might be going to die. "And , if I am going to die , " I said , "there is no need of my going there too ! " Mamma only patted my shoulder , and told me to be a brave boy ; but I didn't want to be a brave boy ; I wanted to go home. However , I tried to hold my head up , and by the time we came to Dr. Wil son's door mamma said I was doing very well , and that she should be very much pleased with me if I was brave. It is very nice to have mamma pleased with you. her voice SQUI s SQ nice , and her eyes shine wlisn she smiles. So I tried as hard as ever I J could ; and when Dr. Wilson came out and looked at me over his spectacles , I said "Good morning ! " quite loud , though my voice sounded as if I were under a feather bed. So then I got up into the horrid , horrid rid chair ; and my heart was going so hard that I thought it would come out of my ears. I opened my mouth , and he fished about with the dreadful little steel things ; and I screwed my eyes up tight , for I knew every minute that it was going to hurt dreadfully. But suddenly he stopped , and I opened my eyes. He was standing looking at me ; and , really , his smile was quite pleasant , and not half so much like an ogre's as I thought it was. "Well , doctor , " said mamma , "is there very much to be done ? " Then Dr. Wilson smiled again. "My dear madam , " he said , "I am obliged to tell you that this boy" heue he looked very hard at me , and my heart stopped again "that this boy has nothing whatever to be done , and that his teeth will be in perfect order for the next six months. " I think I cried a little. I know mam ma did ; for you see she had been keep ing her courage up , too. And she had done it so well that I never knew her heart was jumping and stopping , just like mine , until she told me. But we were so happy oh , so happy ! And we went away together , after we had sh.ken hands with that nice Dr. Wilson , and I think he was almost as glad as we were , and we had ice cream and strawberries , and we took some home to Polly in a paper box. And the funny thing is that I never have had any more trouble with my heart since then. Laura E. Richards. Chimes of Normandy. Do you want to hear the chimes of Normandy ?
