Ambition
When I was young I used to dream of
coaling all the heights of fame. I said
"I'11 make the old world soream when it
beholds my wondrous game." And I
had visions fair of gold, and princely
gems of East and West; for then my
heart was young and bold, and raired a
rumpus in my breast. I dreamed of rul-
ing hosts of men by virtue of my strength
and, grace, or, by the movement of my
pen, to shake a nation to its base. Bab
now that I am old and fat, and full of
prunes and shredded hay 1 say to such
ambitions: "Scat! I have a better dream
this day! Of all gold brioke the worst is
fame; it only comes to grieve and vex,
to make a man the daily game of album
fiends and rubbernecks. If I oan do
some good to day Iwill not murmur or
repine; if I oan help some weary jay
whose look in life was .worse than mine,
I'll seek my downy couch this night and
my old heart will glow, in truth, with
visions far more dazzling bright than all
the golden dreams of youth. I tell you
this, my friend, again, and you may
paste it in your tile: This graft of help-
ing fellow men is all that makes our
lives worth while. WALT MASON.

Live Stock Markets.
Toronto, Ang, -Union Stook Yards —
Receipts for to -day's market were 139
oars, with 2,928 head of cattle, 72 calves,
83 hogs, and 220 theep and lambs. The
bulk of the receipts were export cattle
of a very fair average quality, and in -
eluding several loads extra quality. The
demand for shipping cattle, however,
was very quiet. There is a temporary
scarcity of vessel space available, and
several of the largest regular buyers re-
garded that fact as sufficient reason for
their insisting upon some oonoeselon in
prices. The result was a slow trade,
buyers being apparently indifferent and
willing to wait a tidy over.
