EFFECTS OF LUxuRY-Luxuriou habits
will not, of course, engender crimes of tur-
bulencs or violence; will not become the
parents Of the roughcr and ticrcer vices but,
not the less, they may dcmoralze man to
his hearts core. They have an enervating
and enfeebing influence: nay, it is an indis.
putable truth, though it may sound like
u paradox, in aggravating his sclfishncss,
they soften and harden n man at the same
time. They soften him rs they render him
more and more unable to endure prvations
or cope with difficulties and as they bind
him round witt. the roseatc chains of self
indulgence they accustom him to live in a
state of callouS apathy with respect to the
necessities snd diStresscs of his fellow.crca-

against any appeal which may disturb his
repose or offend his fastidiousness, which

To OBTAIN SKELETONS OF SMALL AMI.
MALs.-Put any subject-such rs a mouse
or frog (fa bird, strip it Of its feathers) into
box perforated with number Of holes.
Let it be properly distended, to prevent
the parts from collapsing, or being crushed
together by the pressure of the earth.
Then place tho box with its contents in an
ant hole, and in few days it will have
become an exqusiteIy beautiful and per-
feet skeleton. The ants will have consumed
every part of it except the bones and liga-
ments. The tadpole acts the same part
with fish that ants do with birds; and
through the agency Of this little reptile,
perfect skeletons, even ofthe smallest fishes,
may be obtained. To produce this, it is
but necessary 10 suspend the fish by
threads attached to the head and tail, in
a horizontal position, in a jar of water,
such as is found in pond, and change
it often, till the tadpolos will have finish, d
their work. Two or three ta,lpolcs will
perfectly dissect a fish intwenty -four
hours.

An important Want.

Wanted "A young man of industry,
ability and integrity.-Wanted9 Of
course they are-always wanted.-The
market can never be overstocked; they
will always be called for and never quo
ted "dulr" or mo sale" Wanted for
thinkers-wanted for workers-in the
mart, on the main, in the field and the
forest. Tools are lying idle for the want
of a young man a; pen is wanting to be
nibbled a tree 10 be fclled; plow to be
guided; a village to be founded school
to be instructed.
They talk about staples and great sta
pies. Honest, industrious, able Young
men are the great staple i'll this world Of
ours. Young man you are wanted, but
not for Doctor. No, nor Lawyer
There are enough of them for this genera
ton, and one or two to spare. Don't stu
dy "a profession" unless it be the profes-
sion Of brick laying or farming, or some
other of the manual professions. D.n't
measure tape if you can help it. It's hon.
orabe and honest, and all that, but then
you can do better. OF all things, don't
rob the women. It's their prerogative to
handle silk and laces, tape and thread
Put on your hat thep, like man, doa An
apron, and go out doors. Get a good
glow on your cheek, the jeweIry of toll
upon your brow, and a good set of well
developed muscles. We would 90, if we
could, but then we were young longer
ago than we like to think, and you know
when ones ''oEd, he can't"
Besides, if you become a Doctor, You'll
have to wait-"because YOU haven't ex-
perience," says an old practitioner; "bc-
csuse you are too young" says all the
women. If you are Lawyer, and like,
ly to rise, they'll put weight upon your
head, a la Swiss, to keep you under, or, il
you make a cook argument, some old op,
ponent, as gray as a rat, will kick it all
over by some taunt or other, because you
were not born in the year one. And SO
it will gO,until You are tired and soured and
wish you had been a tinker, perhaps "an
immortal" one, or anything but just what
you are.
Be farmer, and your troubles are over
or rather, they don't begin. You own
what you stand on, "from the centre OF
the earth" as they used to say, sup to
the sky" you arc independent all day,
and tired, not weary, at night.-The more
neighbors you have, the more and the
better for you.
There's one thing more, young man.
You are wanted. 4 young ,romdn wants
you. Don't forget her. No matter il
you are poor. Don't wait to be rich, II
yQu do, ten to one if you are fit to be
married at all, to anybody that's fit to be
married. Marry while you are young,
and struggle up to together, lest in the
years to come somebody shall advertise
young men wanted" and none to be
found.-N Y. Tribune.

MISCELLAN
Origine of the Names of the State.

The New York Sunday Times, at con-
siderable trouble, has collected the follow
ing information relative to the derivations
OF the names of the States
Maine was first called Marvooshcn, but,
about 1888, took the name it now bears
from Maine, province in the west of
Frace. The name is originally derived
from the Cenomanni, an ancient Gallic
people, New Hampshire was the name
given to the territory granted by the Ply
mouth Company to Capt. John Mason
by patent, in l6 8, and was derived from
the patentee, who was Governor of Ports
mouth, in Hampshire, England. Yer
mont is from verd, green, and mont,
mountain. Massachusetts, was named
from tribe Of Indians in the vicinity of
Boston. Roger Williams says the word
signifies blue hills. Rhode Island WAS so
called in lo44, in relation to the island
Of Rhodes in the Mediterranean. New
York was named in honor of the Duke of
York, to whom this territory was granted.
Pennsylvania was called after VIM. Penn.
In 1864, the Duke of York made grant
of what is now the State of New jersey,
10 Lord Berklcy and Sir George Cartaret
and it received its name in compliment to
the latter who had been Governor of the
lslanb OF jersey. Delaware was so call
cd in 1902, after Lord De La Ware
Maryland was named in honor of Hen.
rietta Maria, Queen of Charles l., in his
patent to Lord Baltimore, June, 8, 1882.
Virginia was called after the virgin Queen
of England, Elizabeth. The CaroIinas
were named by the Franch, in honor of
Charles TX, of France. Georgia was call
ed in 1902, after George H. Louisiana
was named after Louis XIV, Of France.
Florida received its name from Ponce De
Leon, in 1912, while OF his vovape in
search Of the fountain of youth. lie dis
covered it on Easter Sunday-in Spanish
Pascue Florida. The States of Alabama,
Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky. Illinois.
Indiana, Ohio, Arkansas, and Missouri,
arc all named from their principal rivers.
and the names are Of Indian origin, ex-
cepting, perhlps, Kentucky-and their
meanings involved in some obscurity.-
Tennessee is said to si!nify curved
spoon; Illinois, the Rye- of Men; Missis-
sippi, the Whole River, or river formed
by the union of many. Michigan wss
namel from the Lake on its borders.-
Iowa is an Indian name also, Texas
beautiful. California was thus
named by the Spaniarls at very early
day

Friendship, Truth, and Love

Three sunny Islets on life's river,
Three golden arrows in life's quivcr;
Three stars that never fade or dim,
Three notes that angels love to hymn;
Three charms that guard the heart from sorrow
Three whispers of Il bright tomorrow;
Three links that bind with silken bands.
Three words whose might should rule all lands
Three watchwords Oh liic's stormy strands,
Three harsors mid earth's trcacherous sands
Three life-preservers on Times ocean,
Three voices mid the hearts commotion;
Three fragrant flowers most fair to see,
Three garlands twining round lifc's tree;
Three gems of pure ETHEREAL light,
Three paths, all lovely, smooth and bright;
Three rays Of light from heavens throne,
Where naught but happiness is known!

POETRY
THE ROBINS DEATH.

From his sweet banquit, mid the perfumed clover
A Robin scared and sung;
Never the voice ofhappy bard or lover
Such peals Of gladness rung.
Lone echo. lotoring by the distant hillside,
Or hiding in the glen,
Caught up, with thirstng lip the tide of sweetness
Then bade it flow again.
The Summer air was flooded with the music;
Winds hold their breath to hear;
And blushing wild-howers held their heads, er,
amor,
To list that "joyance clear"
Justthen, from ncighboring covert rudely ringing,
Broke forth discordant sound;
And willy fowler from the ambush springing,
Gazed eagerly around.
Still upward through the air that yet was thrilling
To his mclodious lay,
One Instant longer, on trembling piuion,
The robin cleared his way,
But, ah, the death-shot ranked in his bosom
His life of song is DER!

n sudden stiffness chilled the heart of nature
Leaf blossom, bird and bee,
Seemed each, in startled hush, to mourn the

OF that sweet mnstrelsy
And Echo, brcathlcss, in her secret dwelling,
Like iove-!orn maid in vain
Waited and listened long, to catch the accents
She ne'cr would hear again.
Oh, bird! sweet poet the summer woodlands!
How like thy lay to those
or ftuneful bards, whose song, begun in gladncss,
Have oft the saddcst close.
Thus, many strain of human love and rapture,
Poured from a fond, full heart,
Hath been, in one wild moment, hushed forever
BY sorrows fatal dart
