A Ditlo Elbow Boom, i Good friend, don't squeeze so very tight, There's room enough for two: Keep In your mind I nave a right To live as well as you. ' You're rioh and strong, I poor and weak, But think you I presume. When only this poor boon I ask? A little elbow room? Tis such as you?the rioh and strong, If yon but had the will,. Could give the weak a lift along And help him up the hill.' But no?you jostle, orowd and drive; You storm and fret and fame; Are you the only man alive In want'of elbow room? But thus it is on life's ronnd path, Self seems the God of all; The strong will orush the weak to death, The big devour the small. Far better be a rioh man's hound? A. valet, serf or groom? That struggles 'mid the mass around, When we've no elbow room. Up heart, my boyl don't mind the ?hoek; Up heart, and push alongl Your skin will soon grow rough with knocks, Your limbs with labor strong. Then there's a hand unseen to aid; A star to light the gloom; Up heart, my boyl nor be afraid? Strike out for elbow room! And when you Bee, amid tho throng, A fellow-toiler slip, Jost give him, as you pass along, A bravo aud kindly grip. Let noble deeds, though poor yon be, Your path iu life illume; And with true Christian charity, Give others elbow room. A good snggestion is like a crying baby; it should always be carried out. 4jyfrSg7c?.9,B v??w*j?

The New York Express pays: "Last Thurs? day, an' .?d^ertise.maht- was ppbliahtd, calling for ballet girls for the Ohriat maa pantomime. Over 1,000 yonng women applied, and, as there were bat 800 wanted, 700 were compelled fb go away disappointed. Among this 700 was Mary MoOaun and a companion, who had oome from Hudson City, hoping to obtain employment. Sad and disheartened they a tar tod lor home, and, while crossing the river, determined to end all their troubles by leaping Into it. At the last moment, however, Mary's companion dtew back, but the other plunged boldly in. Fortunately, there were tbose near at hand who rescued her. Barnum heard of the adventure, Bent emissaries to search the girls out, and now they are both rehearsing in the hippodrome ballet. The reason given for the rash aot by Mary is very touohing. 'I had rather die than starve,' she said, 'and I had rather starve than be bad.'" In. his sermon the other Sunday, Mr. 'Beeoher exclaimed: "I would rather be a suffering man than a happy flea." For our part, wo would rather be a happy flea, ten to one. What a life of adventure is his; and, per? chance, how delicious a martyrdom! Meandering forth to quench his thirst, in the rich, purple ohampagne-gore of lovely woman, he finds himself serene? ly browsing upon a field of unsunned snow within her immaculate stocking of fleecy silk, feeling that "if there is an elyaium on earth it is this;" and when oaught and daintily crushed be? tween her dimpled fingers, he feels not "in corporal sufferance a pang as great as when a giant dies," but simply dies of a rose-odor in aromatio pain; and, as for him there is no Hades, that is the last of him. But the "suffering man"?catch him fooling about that silken hose, and, as Brother Beeoher is but too well aware, Brooklyn howls. In England a clergyman had had the small-pox, but was "so as to ho about," and invited a friend to brcukfast. His friend oaught tho malady and commu? nicated it to his wife, who died. There? upon tho friend sued the parson for inviting him to breakfast, and reco? vered damage in ?1 and the amount of tho wife's funeral expenses.
