GETTING ON IN THE WORLD.

There many different ways Of getting on in
the world; it docs not always mean making = great
deal of money, or being great man for people to
look up to with wonder. Leaving of had habit
for good one, is getting on in the world-to be
clean and tidy instead Of dirty and disorderiy is
getting Onto be careful and saying. instsad Of
thoughtless and wastefu, is, getting onto be &C
tive and industrious instead Of idle and lazy is get
ting onto be kind and forbearng, instead Of i'll
natured and quarrelsome, is getting onto work
as diligently in the masters absence as in his
presence, is getting op---in short. when we see
any one properly attentive to his duties, persever-
ing through difficulties to gain such knowledge as
shall be Of use to himself and others, offering a
good example to bis relatives and acquaintance,
we may be sure that he is getting on in the world
Money is very useful article in its way, but it is
possible to get on with small means, for it is
mistake to suppose that we must wait for good
deal Of money before we can do any thing. Per
severance IS often better than full purse. There
are more helps towards getting on than is com
monty supposed many people lag behind or miss
the way altogether. because they do not see the
simple and abundant means which surround them
on all sides-and it SO happens that these means
are aids that cannot be bought with money. Those
who wish to get on in the world must have
stock Of patience and perseverance. ofhopefu con-
fidence, willingness to learn, and disposition

POETRY.
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

Where are the birds that sweetly sang.
A hundred years ago?
The flowers that all in beauty sprang.
A hundred years ago.
The lips that smiled.
The eyes that wild
In flashes shone
Soft eyes upon
Where, o where. are lips and syes,
The maiden's smile, the lovers' sighA
That were so long aga3
Who peopled all the city's ssrsss.
A hundred years ago2'
Who filled the church With facss meet.
4 hundred years ago7
That sneering tale
OF sister frail,
The plot that worked
Another's HURT
Where, O where, are the plots and srsen,
The poor mans hope. the rich mans fears.
That were SO long ago2
Where the graves where dead msp slept.
A hundred years ago9
WHO, whilst living. ofttimss wspt
4 hundred years ago2
By other men,
They knew not then,
Their lands are titled
Their homes are filled
Vet nature then was just as gay,
And bright the sun shone a. to-day.
A hundred years ago.
