BE Always Busy.

The more a man accomplishes. the
more he may. An active tool never grows
rusty. You always find those men who
are the most forward to do good, or to i'm
prove the times or the manners, ALWAYS
busy. Who start our railroads and our
steamboats-our machine shops and our
manufactures! Men of industry and en-
,erprlse. As long as they live, they keep
at work doing something to benefit them
selves and others
1t is just SO with a man who is benev-
client, the more he gives the more he feels
like giving. Let man squeeze out six
pence now AID then for the contribution
oox, and ne will do no more; no matter
how rich he may be.-But let him give
his dollar, and SO he will continue to do.
We go for activity--in body, in mind,
in purse, in everything. Let the gold not
grow dim. nor the thoughts become stale.
Keep all things in motion. We would
rather that death should find US scaling
a mountain, than sinking in the mire-
breasting whirlwind. than sneaking from
Wright's Casket.

"A man who smokes is fool-because

pleasure derived from it, he has to paw an
