Advice OF an old Lady,

Now, John, listen to me, for / am older

Never do you marry young woman. John.
before you have contrived to happen at the
house where she lives at least four or five
times before breakfast You should know
how late she lies in bed in the morning.
You should take notice whether her COM
plexion is the same in the morning as it is
in tie evening. or whether the wash and
towel have robbed her of her evening bloom
You should take her by surprise. so that you
may see her in her morning dress, and OBJ
serve how her hair looks when she is not ex-
pecting you. If possible you should be
where you can hear the morning converse
ton between her md her mother II she
is ill-natured and snappish to her mother.
SO sha will be to you, depend on it. But if
you find her up and dressed neatly in the
morning, with the same countenance, the
same smiles. the same neatly combed hair.
the same ready and pleasant answers to her
mother. which characterized her department
in the evening. and particularly if she is
lending hand to get the breakfast ready
in good season, she is prize, John, and
the sooner you secure her to yourself the
better.

A Cheerful Heart.

once heard young lady say to an indi-
vidual. your countenance to me Is like the
rising sun. for it always gladdens me with
cheerful look" "A merry or cheerful coun-
tenance is one Of the things which Jeremy
Taylor said his enemies and prosecutors
could not take away from him. There are
some persons who spend their lives in this
world as they would spend their lives shut
up IN dungeon. Everything is made gloomy
and forbidding They 90 moaning and COM
planning from day to day, that they have 50
little, and are constantly anxious lest what
they have should escape out of their hands.
They always look upon the dark side, and
can never enjoy the. good. That is not re-
ligion. Religion makes the heart cheerful,
and when its large and benevolent principles
are exercised, man will be happy in spite
Of himself
The industrious bee does not stop to CON-
plain that there are SO many poisonous fow-
ers and thorny branches ON its road, but
buzzes on. selecting his honey where be can
find it, and passing quietly by the places
where it is not. There is enough in this
world to complain about and find fault with,
if men have the disposition.
We often travel on hard and uneven
road; but with cheerful spirit and heart
to praise God for his mercies, we may walk
therein with comfort. and come to the end
Of our journey with peace.-De,oey.

IMPROVEMENT IN PIANos--An ingenious
invention has lately been exhibited in Paris,
which promises to be the precursor of new
in the manufacture of piano fortes- La
France Musicale announces that one Mons
Sax has transformed the piano by process
very simple indeed. but which like all sim
pie things. required man of genius The
fact that the violin is an instrument of small
volume. yet its sounding power is very great.
while the guitar, much larger in size, pro-
ducing but thin and meager sounds, induced
Mons Sax to inquire into the reason Of this
difference. and be has come to the conclusion
that the difference il sound is occasioned
by the relative height Of the bridge of the
instrument. This idea Mons. Sax has
availed himself of, and constructed piano
on this principle. And an experiment
which has been made in the presence Of ar
lists and professors Of mark before the Court
of France has been successful in the high

The FRANKLIN EXPEDITION N-Tnforma-
of a very interesting character has been re-
ceived by government, which, if correct,
and it has every appearance of authenticity
may turn out to be of great importance as
bearing on the fate of the missing Arctic
expedition under Sir j ohm Franklin. 1t is
to the efroct that iatelli gencc has been con-
veyed to the Russian government, at St Pc
tersburg that several of what are called
glass balls, have been found by the natives
at the mouth of the river Obi, which falls
into the Arctic basin at the SEVENTEEN par
allel of latitude. The Russian authorities
transmitted this information without delay
to our foreign office and request has been
despatched that some of the so-called glass
balls more probably bottles. may be, if pos
sible. secured and transmitted to England.
The locality where these balls or bottles are
said to have been found is precisely that to
which they would probably have drifted,
had they been thrown overheard or other
wise detached from Franklin's ships in case
the latter had attained high northern lat
itude for the current of the Arctic ocean
sets along the Siberian towards the Europ-
can coast, as is evidenced by the great guam
tity of drift wood, &c, found on the shore
1t would of course, be premature to arrive
at the conclusion that these glass balls are
relics of Franklins exhedition but the in
formation, crude though it be, is Of too i'm
portaut and curious nature to be summa-
rily dismissed as unworthy Of attention.

CapitaI for the Young.

1t consolation for all right minded
young men in this country, that though
they may not be able to command as much
pecuniary capital as they would wish to COM
mence business themselves, yet there is a
moral capital which they can have, that will
weigh as much as money with people whose
opinion is worth having. And it doe, not
take great while to accumulate respec-
table amount of this capital. 1t consists in
truth. honesty. and integrity, to which may
be added decision, 6rmness, courage, and
perseverance, With these qualities. there
are few obstacles which may not be over
come Friends spring up and surround
such young man almost as if BY magic
Confidence flows out to him and business ac-
cunulates on his hands faster than be can
ask it. And in few short years such q
young man is far in advance Of many who
started with him, having equal talents and
larger pecuniary means; ere long our young
friend stands foremost the honored. trusted,
and loved. Would that we could induce
every youthful reader to commence life on
the principle that moral capital is the main
thing after all /! Token.

THE DIS E HRALLED.
BY ]. G. WHITTIER.

He had bowed down to--drupkenness
An abJect worshipper;
The pulse of manhood's pride had oone
Too tain and cold to stir:
And he had given his spirit up
Unto the humblest thrall;
And bowling to the poison ciip
He gloried in bis fall
There came change-the cloud rolled off
And light fell on his brain
And like the passing of a dream
That cometh not again,
The shadow of his spirit fled,
He saw the gulf before
He shuddered at the waste behind -
And was man once more.
He shook the serpent's fold away,
That gathered round his heart,
As shakes the swaying forest oak
Its poison vine apart;
He stood erect-returning pride
Grew terrible within;
And Conscience sat in Judgment on
His most familiar sin.
The light of intellect again
Along his pathway shone:
And Reason Ike a monarch stood
Upon its golden throne;
The honored and the wise once more
Within his presence came
And fingered oft on lovely lips
His once forbidden name.
There may be glory in the might
That treadeth nations down
Wreaths for the crimson conqueror-
Pride for the singly crown-
But nobler in that triumph hour
The disenthralled shall find.
When Evil passion boweth down
Unto the god-like mind

Interesting Statistics.

A gentleman claiming to be friend to
the human race" and who keeps the run Of
facts. figures and babies, has Just laid before
IAN inquiring world" the following statis-
tics:
The whole number Of languages spoken
in the world amount to 1904: 57S in Eu-
rope, 963 in Asia. 276 in Africa. and 1 1,264
In America. The inhabitants of our globe
profess more than 1000 different religions
The number of men is about equal to the
number of women. The average Of human
life is about 33 years; and one-hals die
before reaching II years. One quarter
part die before the age of years; and one
half before reaching II years of age, and
those whe pass this age enjoy a felicity re-
fused to one-half the human species. To
every LOCO persons only one reaches 100
years of life; to every hundred only six
reach the age Of sixty-six. and not more than
one in 500 live to 80 years of age. There
are on the earth 1000. 900, 900 Inhabitants,
and of these 333, ,333. 1888 die every year,
91,324 every day, $3.50 every hour, 60 ev-
cry minute, or one every second. These
losses are about balanced BY the equal num-
Der Of births. The married are longer
lived than the single, and above all those
who observe a sober and industrious con-
duct. Tall men live longer than short ones.
Women have more chances of life in their
favor previous to being so years of age
than men have, but fewer afterwards. The
number of marriages is in proportion Of
IT'S to every 1000 individuals. Marriages
are more frequent after the equinoxes that
is during the months of June and Dccem-

ly more robust than others. Births and
