whose death was universally mourned, often
told his friends an anecdote which occurred in
his own experience, and which was recammen-
ded to all those who desire to enjoy serene
old age, without allowing their wealth to dis
turb their peace Of mind. He said that when
he obtained his fortune, he found that be be-
gan to grow uneasy about his pecuniary affairs;
and one night when he was about sixty years
of age, his sleep was disturbed by unpleasant
thoughts respecting some shipments he had
just made. In the morning. he said to himself,
'Ths will never do; if allow such thoughts
to gain the mastery over me, must bid fare.

Of care at once, and at a single blow" Accor-
dinghy, he went to his counting. room, and upon
examination found he had $50, 1000 In money on
hand. He made out a list of bis relatives and
others he desired to aid, and before he went to
bed again, be had given away every dollar Of
the thirty thousand. He said he slept we'll
that night, and for long time his dreams were
not disturbed by anxious thoughts about his
vessels or property.-Boston Transcript.

minute" or "By-and.by." This leads to bad
habit, which, if not overcome, will prevent all
confidence inyou as you grow up. You will
then put off duties you owe your neighbor in
the same way, and lose his confidence. Many
men lose the respect of their neighbors, not so
much because they mean to do wrong, as
through mere carelessness. "By-and-by," and
tomorrow have ruined thousands, robbed them
of their character, and made them anything but
blessings in neighborhood. Little confidence
can be placed in their word, not because they
mean to tell falsehoods, but because of their
carelessness. No obligation is fulfilled when
it should be-. And it is something 90 in their
own affairs. They lose days and weeks be-
cause business is not attended to when it ought
to be. A tool is lost, because not promptly
put away when done with. Fulfil every promise
promptly. Put II not of an hour.
