A Lesson for Boys.

One Of the wealthiest merchants of New
York city tells US how he commenced busi-
ness:
II entered store and asked if clerk
was not wanted. "No."in a rough tone
was the answer, all being too busy to both
er with me when 1 reflected that if they
did not want clerk, they might want a
laborer; but was dressed too fine for that.

and went into the same store and demand

sir" was the response when / claimed in

Seduction and Suicide,
In a t6' eigm Land.

A very sad case Of seduction and suicide
is narrated in the Cincinnati papers as
having developed itself on Saturday, March
the 7th, 1t appears that a German
named Kaiser, who kept a meat store in
Vine street, near Allison, had married
fourteen years ago in Germany, and recent
ly immigratcd to Cincinnati, and commen-
ced a successful bushes there-hs family
consisting of a wife and one female child
His wife was known as an apparently
modest, quiet, hard working woman, well
esteemed by all who knew her. About
two months ago, Mr.. Kaiser being sick,
his wife took charge of the shop, and Mr.
X. coming down stairs one evening, was
astonished on detecting his wife and man
named Glossncr, who kept a liquor store
near, in an Illicit amour. He drove Gloss
ner out, and the seduccr escaped. When
Mr.. X. returned to his shop he found it
closed and his wife gone.-She was never
seen alive again, and was supposed to be
concealed somewhere. The villain who
seduced her, rather gloried in his crime
Kaiser sadly pursued his business, and
applied for divorce. On Saturday week

dead body of woman was revealed hor.
ribly disfgured. 1t proved to be that of
Mrs. Kaiser. An immense crowd attended
the coroner's inquest, and the fact was es-
tablished that on the evening of her crime
she proceeded directly from her husband S
store to the canal where she put an end to
her existance, She had on precisely the
same clothes, had tho keys of the store in
her pocket, and the money she had that day
taken in, Those who knew her, clieved
the offence was her first one, and that hay
ing been detected, she at once determined
to die rather than live in disgrace,
Threats of lynching were made against
Glossener, on learning the facts; but the
police interfered and saved the offender
to be dealt with by no other Court, perhaps

SHINE,'-Thc above, if we rightly remem-
bcr, is the inscription upon sun dial in
Italy. 1t inculcates beautiful lesson
which many are prone to disregard. 1t
would teach us to remember the bri. ht
days of life, and not to forget the blessing
God is giving us. Life, lit is true, is not
all bright and beautiful. But still it has
its lights as well as its shades, AMI it is
neither wise nor graceful to dwell too much
upon the darker p rtions of the picture

and makes the best Of everything, will We
think, other things being equal, be better
and happier man, than those who, rs Frank

censure in almost everything they meet
