THE BRIDLE.

Don't 90 without a bride, boys wa'
my grandfather 8 fayorile bit Of advice.
Do you suppose We were all teamsters
or horse jockeys7 No such thing.
If he heard one cursing and swearing,
or given 10 much vain and foolish talk
That man has los. his bridIe.' he wodld
say. Witbouta bride the tongue, though
a little member, 'boasteth great things.
Itis 'an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Put bride on, and it is one of the best
servants the body and soul have. 4 will
keep my mouth with bride, said king
David, and who can do better than follow
his example?
When my grandfather saw man drink
ing and carousing or a boy spending all
his money for cakes and candy. Poor fel-
low he would say, he 5 left on his bi-
die The appetite needs refining; let it
loose, and it will run you to guttony,
drunkenness, and all sorts Of disordors.--
Be sure and keep bride on your appe-
tite; don't let it be master. And don't
neglect to have one for your passions
They go mad if they get uamanageable.
driving you down blind and headlong
course to ruin. Keep the check-rein
tight; don't let it slip; hold i! steady
Never 90 without your bride, boys.
That was the bride my grandfather
meant, the Jridls Of se!f-gooeramsnt.--
Parents try 10 restrain and check their
children. and you can generally tell by
their behavior what children have such
wise and faithful parents. But parents
cannot do everything. And some chill
dren have no parents to care for them.--
Every boy must have lis own bride, and
every girl must have hers; they must
learn to check and govern themselves
Self-governmcnt is the most difficult and
the most important government in the
world. 1t becomes easier every Gay, il
you practice it with steady and resolute
will. 1t is the fountain of excellence -
1t is the cutting and pruning which make
the noble and vigorous tree of character.

WANTED, A LIVE WoNAY.--'Punch'
thus expresses his distress at the disap-
paarance Of woman from the face Of the
earth:
There are no women nowadays. In
stead Of women. we have towering edif.
ces Of silk lace, and flowers. You see a
milIincrs large advertising van that slides
along with rustlng sound, and you are
told that it is a woman; but as you can
not approach within several yards Of the
monster obstruction. you cannot tell what
it's, beyond something that looks like an
entire shop-front put into motion, with all
the goods in it exposed for sale. l really
believe, if any Snowman would open an
exhibition, where one could see a woman,
such as woman were in my young days,
when they used to be fair slim, slender,
graceful, well proportioned, and every
thing that was beautiful, instead of the
animated wardrobes, and unrecognisables
of fine clothes that they now are-I re .
ally believe that an enterprising show
man like that would rapidly realize a
large fortune
