A THOUGHT FOR YOUNG MEN.-No
wreck is so shocking to behold as Il dissolute
young man. On the person ofthe debauchee
or inebriate, infamy is written. How ma
ture hangs labels over him to testify her dis
trust at the example How she loosens all
his joints, sends tremors along his muscles,
and bends forward his frame! The wretch
whose lifelong pleasure it has been to de-
base himself and to debauch others, whose
heart has been spotted with skin that it is
black all over, is an offense to the heart OF
the unblemishcd. Mann.

A FABLE.--A young man once picked up
a sovereign lying in the road. Ever after
wards as he walked along, he kept his eyes
fixed steadily on the ground, in hopes to find
another. And in the course of long life
he did pick up at different times a goodly
number of gold and silver. But all these
years, as he was looking for them, he saw
not that the heavens were bright above him,
and nature beautiful around. He never once
allowed his eyes to look up from the mud
and filth in which he sought the treasure ;
and when he died-a rich old man-he on
" knew this fair earth of ours as dirty
road in which to pick up money as you walk
along.

COMMENTARY ON THE NINTH Com.
MANDMENT.-At the examination of the
children of the Windsor Infant School, lit
tie boy was asked to explain his idea of
"bearing false witness against your neigh
bor" After hesitating, he said it was "tel,
ling lies," on which the worthy and rever,
end examiner said, "That is not exactly an
answer. What do you say?' addressing 2
little girl who stood next, when she imme.
diately replied, at was when nobody did
nothing, and somebody went and told Of it. u
"Quite right" said the examiner, amidst If.

could not help joining, the gravity of the
whole proceeding being completely upset.

Do THUS WITH YOUR GUNs.-Wash
your gun barrels in spirits of turpentine, by
dipping a rag or sponge, fastened on your
ramrod, into the liquid, and swabbing them
out two or three times, when they will be
cleaned from all impurities, and can be used
almost instantly, as the turpentine will
evaporate and leave the barrels dry; even if
they are little moist, it will not prevent
their going off. After being washed thus,
there is no danger of rust, as when water is
used. This is the experience of an old gun
ner, and our sportsmen would do well to
adopt it.

Goals. How he did jump; but twan't no
use, for one side of it was melted clean otf
before anybody could frescoe it. Micaja
he felt awfuly about it, but Jerusha told him
not to lay it to heart, twas no consequence;
aud we went on with our plays. Somebody
proposed to play Copenhagen, and it would
inquire rope to play it with. None of our
Tattlcville folks knew how to do it, and Je-
rusha called me out in the entry and asked
me if thought they'd hang anybody if they
played it. Law no, Jerusha, said l; but
whatll you do for rope? Why, sez she,
we'll oncord a bedstead; so up stairs we
went; and tumbed beds and bedclothes on
to the floor and got the bedcord-and such
q tearin time as they had with it. Mlcajah
kept strikin at my hand all the time, and |
felt quite nattered by his partialness.
'When we got ready to 60 home the boys
all went out doors and stood reddy to ketch
their favorite gals as they cum out; and don't
you think the moment I stepped my foot out
side the door up cum Micajah and stuck up
his arm to me. Jest to spite Poll Hammer
ton took it, and off we marched as grand
as the Emperor of England. That was the
way our acquaintanceship begun. And a

see him at our house any time when he could
make it handy. He didn't need second
invite; and every Sunday evening he'd cum
drest up in his go-to-mcct-inables, and he'd
stay and stay till the cocks covered in the
morning. Byme bye, one mornin, jest afore
he was goin to start for home, he got up,
give his hat twirl or two, buttoned up his
coat, and then unbuttoned it agin, and sez
he, with an awful cough, that made me shud-
der, it sounded so much like the cough that
alters goes with the measles-'Hannah, sez
he, 'ahcm I've been keepin company with

FRANCE AFTER THE LAST REVOLUTION.

FRANCE AFTER THE LAST REVOLUTION.
-Napoleon's chief support was from the
inhabitants Of the country districts, the pea.
santry; and it was calculated that if the
weather was fine it might make in his favor
a difference of a million of votes The day
came at last. On the 10th of December,
1894 ,52O votes were recorded for Louis Ma
poleon. General Cavaignac had ! ,44S 3O2.
Then came Ledru Rollin then Raspail.-
Lamartine got 46,9l4: 2s,219 were disal-
lowed, as being given for some of the ban
ishcd Royal Family. The total number of
voters was 7,449,47l. About fourth of the
whole population Of France, and probably
more than three fourths of the adult male
population, recorded their votes on the occa-
sion. The peasantry being informed that
that their voting papers would be changed,
and Napoleon's name obliterated and CAV
aignacs inserted, came down from the couu-
try armed, and watched all night around the
ballot boxes. Those who could not read
counted the twenty-five letters in the name
of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte; they folded
up their tickets in three -cornered shape, to
represent the cockedhat of the old Emperor.
He had q majority of nearly four to one over
his next rival, and nearly two to one over
the whole of his competitors together; and
in addition to this, it should be considered
that both he and all the other candidates,
except Raspail "a 1uack doctor), and Ledru
Rolin, represented the principle of reaction
and moderation. There were, after many
months anarchy, in the whole of France but
about 400, 900 real genuine Republicans
fact which demonstrates their numerical in
significance as party, and with what safety
they might be disregarded: it also shows
how utterly Louis Philippe had misunder-
stood his position and their influence.

And strike the sounding blow,
Where from the burning irons breast
The sparks fly to and fro,

And sweat the long day through,
Remember it is harder still
To have no work to do!

Whose Ii, rd hands guide the p!ow,
Who bend beneath the summer sun,
With burning cheek and brow
Ye-deem the curse still clings to earth
From oldcn time Till now
But while ye feel Ills hard to toll
And labor al day through,
Remember it is harder still
To have no work to do.
Ho! We upon whose fevered cheeks
The hectic glow is bright,
Whose mental toll wears out the day
And half thu weary night,
Who labor for the souls Of men,
Champions of truth aud right
Although ye feel your to-! is hard'
Even with this glorious view,
Remember it is harder still
To have no work TO do.
Ho! all who labor all who strive
Ye WELD lofty power;
Do with your might, do with Your strength,
Fill every golden hour;

DIAGNOSIS OF SENATOR SUMNER.--Dr.
r. NJ. S. Jackson, the physician who atten-
ded Senator Sumner during BIZ recent so.
journ among the mountains of our State,
grows poetical in giving the diagnosis of that
injured gentleman's hurts. Witness the
following:
"subject, aged, in the full zenith Of
manhood. General normal condition Plus,
in vital powers even exurberant. Temper
ament nervous-bilious, with some tinge Of
lymphatic. Weight with plenum Of physi-
cal forces, 200 pounds avoirdupois. Height,
six feet two inches. Normal pulse, 76 to
80, with great muscular power, walking
miles without fatigue, and enduring all ply
steal exertions as play. Habits, temperate
and regular, not to say abstemious and asce-
tic. At the time of the Vandal invasion,
this state was rendered highly morbid by
over work, severe study, intense, unrenit-
ting effort of the brain, the mind bent upon
one single purpose, even the tragical creation
of an earthquake, an intellectual effort that
should vibrate from pole to pole"

same time Prize is drawn from the other wheel.
The Number and Prize drawn out are opened and
