ADJICa TO YOUNG MEN.-Socrates did not
advise his friends to enter early upon public
employments; but first to take pains for the
attainment of the knowledge necessary for
their success III them.
Are you stepping on the threshold of life?
Secure a good moral character Without vir-
tue, you cannot be respected; without integri-
ty, you can never rise to distinction and honor.
Be careful, lest too warm desire of distinc-
tiOn should deceive you into pursuits that may
cover yon with shame, by setting your inca
pacty and slender abilities in full light.
People who have the rashness to intrude into
stations without proper authority aud the re-
quisite preparations for the service Of the pub
lie, not only involve Others in loss, but subject
themselves to ridieule.
The tricky, deceitful and dishonest are
rarely prosperous; for when confidence is with
drawn, poverty is likely to follow. .H.s
The shortest and surest way to live with
honor i'll the world, is to be in reality what we
appear to be.
When once eoncealment or deceit has been
practiced in matters where all should be fair
and open as the day, confidence can never be
restored, any more than you can restore the
white bloom to the grape or plum that you
have once pressed IN your hand
Error is the cause of man S misery, the cor
rupt principle that has produced evil in the
NOIlu; us bhls WHICH DbgeJs auu cneflSHeS Ill
our souls all the evils that afflict us, and we
can never expect true and solid happiness,
but by serious endeavor to avoid it
talsehood Is not only one Of the most hu-
initiating vices, bat, sooner or later, it is most
certain to lead to serious crimes. ..
Industry, we'll directed, will give man
competency i'll few years. The greatest in
dustry misapplied is useless.
Zeal not rightly directed, is pernicious; for
as it makes good cause BETTER SO it makes a
bad cause worse.

ages, to delight i'll gardens. We know that
the most ancient people Of the earth had gar
dens and that where nothing but heaps OF
sand arc now found, and arid desolation now
reigns, gardens once smiled, and the gorgeous
blossoms of the East once shed their fragrance
on races which would have been long ago for
gotten but for the ruined temples, which, IN
those distant ages, stood In their gardens
We know that the aucients wore crowns OF
flowers aud the laurel and the bays have
stimulated many a noble heart to deeds OF
heroism and virtue. We know that in China,
hundreds of acres Of gardens float about the

SELECT TALE,
HOW TO MANAGE AN OLD BACHELOR
BY ELLA RODMAN.

Abel Arnfield was the neatest man that ever
lived. This may, at first, sound like eulogy,
but it comprises catalogue Of small crimes
that sting with tenfold force, like mosquitoes,
gnats, and other insects discovering joints in
the armOr where larger ones would utterly fail.
Abel, then, was fearfully neat. Neatness was
with him a besetting vice, sort of dark influ-
cnce that overshadowed everything, and rob
bed life of half its enjoyments. Haf did
say2 He scarcely knew a moments peace.
Every cup was poisoned, for at the bottom
Abels lar seeing eyes were sure to discover
some speck of dirt, that seemed, like the sword
of DamOcles, never-failing torment, haunt
ing him every moment.
Abel was a bachelor. Not but that he had
had his love-scrapes, but experience taught
him that going down on ones knees was detri-
mental to white inexprGssibles, and violent
emotion took the stiffening out Of a shirt-cOl-
lar. Then, besides, Abel's views Of women
kind in general all tended toward life Of sin
gle blessedness. His version Of the poet would
doubtless have been: a.
''Oh, woman thy name is carelessness!"
and he kept as clear Of the sex as though fear
ful Of contamination.
IL his fellow brethren lacked in his eyes the
essential principles of neatness, the sisterhood
seemed absolutely welded to dirt and slovell-
ness. Many time had he contemplated a
pair Of beaming eyes with pleasurable feelings,
and then sighed because some thread OF that
tasteful attire was, perhaps, the fifteth part ol
an inch out of the way. For Abel, in sum
ming up a case of neatness, did not, like the
children with their arithmetic, say, never
mind the mills no, indeed! he quite agreed
with the man who said, ''take care of the pence
and the pounds will take care Of themselves;
and entertained the opinion that trifles make
up the sum Of earthly things. ,...
al Nor did Abel fail to put his theory in pruc.
tice. He would have considered himself in
suited had any one said that che looked as
though he had just stepped out Of band box
Tor, belonging rather'to the gigantic order, Il
would have been impossible to find such an ar.
ticle capable OF accommodating him az all Il
his satisfaction. And, indeed, Qiite aQret
with Abel that people who step out of band.
boxes must have rather tumbled look.
Somewhere between six and seven feet in
height, straight as poplar, handsome and in.
tellectual looking, Abel deserved Something
better than the COMMUNICATION bestowed unoS
him by an old lady, who, after surveying him
through her speetacles, pronounced him "a
very personable man." When l add to this
description that he was one Of the most elo-
quent members Of the bar, and possessOr Of q
handsome property, it is no wonder that his
fearful neatness was the subject OF sighs and
grOans innumerable. .4eH
Dirt seemed to glance off Obliquely from
those immaculate collars and wristbands-dust
found no resting place Oh that impen netrable
coat Of shining black--and mud dwindled
down to low tide when Abel AFnfield crossed
the street, His neatness encompassed him Ike

THE PRoMPT CLERK.-I once knew Young
man (said an eminent preacher the other day,
in sermon to young mem that was commen-
cling life as clerk. One day his employer
said to him, now tomorrow that cargo Of cot
ton must be got out and weighed, and we must
have regular account OF it,
He was young mau Of energy. This was
the first time he had been intrusted to super
intend the execution of this work; he made
his arrangements over night, spoke to the men
about their carts and horses, aud, resolving to
begin very early in the morning, he instructed
the laborers to be there at half-past four
o'clock. So they set to work, and the thing
was done; and about ten or eleven o'clock his
master comes in, and seeing him sitting in the
counting house, looks very blank supposing
that his commands had not been executed.
81 thought" said the master, ''you were
requested TO get out that cargo this morning p

He never looked behind him from that mo-
ment-never His character was fixed. con :
fidcncc was established. He was found to be
the man to do the thing with promptness--
lie very soon came to be one that could not Be
spared; he was as. necessary to the firm az
any OF the partners. He was religious man,
and went through life Of great benevolence
aud at his death was able to leave his children
an ample fortune. He was not smoke to the
eyes, nor vinegar to the teeth, but inst the con.

JOSEPHINE

ny W. J. SHERLOCK.
She has gone to the grave,
From the hearts that still love her,
And the wild winds ofautumn
Are singing above her,
A dirge sad and low,
For the spirit departed,
The angel-eyed beauty
That from us is parted.
Above her green grave
Late were wild FLOWERS springing,
Now the cold winds around il
The scrc leaves are iiinglng:
And thus was her life
Like bright bud at even
The blast swept above it
1t blossomed in heaven.
Other angel-like lovellness
When do think not?
Whatjoys have | known
Witlrher presence link not?
Like the blast Of the desert,
Comes memory sweeping
O'er the depths Of my heart,
When her image is sleeping.
OH the bliss that we've known,
And the Joys that we've tasted,
In her bright days on earth,
Were too sweet to have lasted:
Like the fruits by that sea
Where the wild bird near plashes,
That melt in the grasp,
And are turned to ashes.
Still her spirit oft comes
When the pale moon is beaming,
When the stars in the ocean .t
Are ftfully cleaning;
She tells me Of joys
That to her have been given,
And beckons me up
To her home in the heaven.
Yes, we shall meet again,
Says a spirit within me,
From the baubles Of earth,
Her pure spirit shall win me;
When together Wen rove,
Amid meier fading flowers,
Aud our souls shall be one,
In bright Eden's glad bowers.

Dlnner was announced; and after the tlrst
excitement OF getting seated, a dead silence
pevIaded the circle. Abel, rather embarrassed
at the state OF affairs, helped the soup with a
trembling hand and IN consequence OF his
agitation, several drops were spilled upon the
exquisite tablcc 10th.

coolness remove the cloth and bring clean

Abel demonstrated, but in vain; the guest
played with his bread during the discussion
aud Thomas, one Of those neat pokes who seem
created for no earthly purpose but to torment
one, crawled off with the various things in re-
gular succession. Mr.. Larkton thought of the
play bills that says, "an interval of five years
is supposed to elapse between the acts Mrs.
Arnfield looked satisfied-and Mr.. Amficld
at boiling heat.
After long interval of endurance clean

of the delay, the second course was in very

MIYIsTERING SPlRTs.-Thc reunion Of
parents aud children in heaven, as well as OF
other earthly friends, is cheering and de-
| lightful thought. And the idea that our de-
parted friends may sometimes be near us, or
wait to welcome us on the borders Of the spirit
land, is we'll suited to impress the mind.
4 little girl, in a family of my acquaintance,
lovely aud precious child lost her mother at
an early age-tOO early to fix the loved fea-
lures in her remembrance. She was as frail
as beautiful; and as the bud of her heart unfol-
ded, it seemed as il won by that mothers
prayers to turn instinetivcly heaVenward
The sweet conscientious, and prayer loving
child, was the cherished one Of the bereaved
family But she faded away early. She
would lie upon the lap Of the friend who took
mothers kind care Of her, and winding one
wasted arm around her neck, would say, NOW
tell me about my mammal And when the
cid tale had been repeated, she would ask
softly: Take me into the parlor; want to
see my mamma" The request was never re-
fused; aud the affectioRatc child would lie for
hours cOntentedly gazing on her mothers
portrait But
"Pale and wan she grew, and weakly
Bearing all her pain so meekly,
That to them she still grew dearer,
As the trial-hour grew nearer!n
That hour came at last; and the weeping
neighbOrs assembled to see the little child die.
The dew Of death was already on the flow
or, as its ife-sun was going down. The lit
tic chest heaved faintly-spasmo
''Do you know me, darIingl' sobbed close
to her ear, the voice that was dearest; but il
| awoke no answer.
All at once brightness, as il from the M.
per world, burst over the child's colorless
countehance. The eyeIids flashed open, the
| lips parted, the wan, cuddling hands flew up
IN the little one last impulsivc effort, as sh,
looked piercingly into the far above.
Mother she cried, with surprise anC
transport in her tone-and passed with tha
breath into her mothers bosom,
Said a distinguished divine whs stood b,
that bed Of joyous death:
