Why not Successful !

The young mechanic or clerk marries and
takes house which he proceeds TO furnish
twice as expensiveiy as he can afford, and
then his wife, instead of taking hold to earn
4 livelihood, by doirg her own work, must
have hired servant to help her spend her
limited earnings.
Ten years afterwards, YOU viii find him
struggling under double load Of iebIs and
children, wondering why the luck was al
ways against him, while his friends regret
his unhappy testituticr OF financial ability.
Had they from the first been frank and hon
est. he need not have been 50 unlucky.
The world is full of people VINO can't I'M
aSine why they don't prosper ike their neigh
bcrs, when the real obstacle is not in banks
or tariffs, in public policy nor hard times,
but in their own extravaganza and os,eu-

THE YANKEE MARKsMAN.

The following took place during the Rev
olunonary War. Lord Percy's regiment was
about TO commence firing at q target on
Boston Common one day, when an awk-
ward looking country boy that had out
grown his jacket and trowsers, came Up.
"Now my boys, for trial Of your skill"
said the Lord Percy; "imagine the mark TO
be Yankee, and here is guinea for who
ever hits his heart"
Jonathan drew near to sec the trial. Whom
the first soldier fred and missed, he slap
ped his hand on his thigh and laughed inn
moderately. Lord Percy noticed him.
When the second soldier fired and missed,
Jonathan threw up his old hat and laughed
again.
"Why do you laugh, fellow" said Lord
Percy, Grossly.
"To think how safe the Yankees are, il
you must know" replied Jonathan
"Why, do you think you could shoot bet.
ter?"
"I don't know; could try"
"Give him gun, soldier, and you may
return the fellows laugh" said Percy turn
ing 10 one of his men.
Jonathan took the gun, and looking at
every part of it carefully, said, at won't
burst will it? Fathers gun don't shine like
this one, but think it is rather ee,lc bet.
! ter gun"
"Why' Why do you think SOL" asked
Percy.
"Causc | know what that'll dcu, and
have some doubts about this 'ere," replied
Jonathan. "But look o'hore You call that
ERE mark Yankee, and won't fire at q
Yankee"
"Well, you may call it British regular
if you please" said Percy.
"Woll, a regular it isthen. Now for free
dom, as father says"
Jonathan fired.
"You awkward rascal, that was accident
Do you think you could hi, the mark aganf
inquired Percy.
81 don't know indeed, but can give it Q
trial"
"Give him another gun, soldiers; ant
take care that the clown don't shoot you
| should not fear TO stand before the mark
myself"
"Well, guess you had not better try it,
"Why, do you think you could hit me 2"
'l don't know indeed, but could try it,
"Fire away then"
Jnn,t1,n, E.,I nj a.
"lIa! ha how father would laugh to see
me shooting at half.gun shot
Why you rascal you don't think yo,
could hit the mark at twice the present dis
tance from YOU"
al don't know but Pm not afraid 10 try"
Give him another gun, soldiers, and place
the mark farther off,
Jonathan fred again, and hit as before.
"There, guess that 'ere regular is, as the
J private that father says the judge hangs un
til he is dead, dead, dead-three times
dead; and that is one more death than the
scripture speaks on"
"There, fellow, is guinea, said Percy
tossing the coin TO him.
"Is il a good one?" inquired Jonathan
ringing it on the pavement
"Good Yes! Now clear the way"
"I should like 10 stay, and see them fel
lows kill some more Yankees"
"Begone! or shall have TO put you un
der guard. Officer give him pass 10 Char
lesion, but never let him come among ou
troops again"

Advice TO Young Elen.

In his valedictory address, ex-Lord- Rec
tor, Glasgow University, Sir L. Bulwer Lyt-
ton, lately offered the following excellent
maxims to the students:
"Never affect" said he, "to be otherwise
than you are, either richer or wiser. Never
be ashamed to say Il do not know Men
will then believe you when you say Il do
know Never be ashamed 10 say, whether
applied TO time or money, q cannot afford
TO waste an hour in the idleness 10 which
you invite me: cannot afford the guinea
you ask me to throw away Once establish
yo"---lf ~ad ynnr mnda of life as wha, iLoy
really are, and your foot is on solid ground,
whether for the gradual step onward or for
the sudden spring over a precipice. From
these maxims let me deduce another
Learn TO say mo- with decision, Yes' with
caution. NO with decision whenever it
meets temptation 'Yes' with caution when
ever it implies promise. A promise once
given is bond invioate. A man is already
of consequence in the world when it is
known that we can implicitly rely on him.
have frequently seen in life such person
preferred to long list of applicants for some
important charge; he has been lifted at once
into station and fortune merely because he
has this reputation-,hat when man says
he knows, he knows; and when he says he
will do a thing, he will do it.

What n Woman Can do.

As wife and mother, woman can make

A NOBLI; BOY.

The following touching episode in street
liic-lfe in Paris-is beautiful gem, and
should be in all memories surrounded with
pearls of sweetest thought and gentlest sym
pa,hy
About nine O'Clock in the morning little
boy of twelve, whose jacket of white cloth
and apron ditto, distinctly indicated that he
followed the prof ession of pastry cook, was
returning from market with an open basket
on his head, containing butter and eggs
When he had reached the vicinity of the
church of ST Eustache, the little fellow, who
could only with difficulty make his way
through the crowd, was violently jostled by
stranger who was passing, so that his bas-
ket tipped, and fell 10 the ground with its
contents. The poor lad, when he saw the
eggs all broken, and his butter tumbled in
the gutter, began 10 cry bitterly and wiring his
hands. A person who happened to be in
the crowd that gathered around the little fell
low, drew tensou piece from his pocket,
and giving it 10 the boy, asked the rest who
stood around him 10 do the same, 10 make
up the loss occasioned by the accident. In
nuenced by his example, every one present
eagerly complied, and very speedily the
boys apron contained a respectable collec-
ton of coppers and silver. When all had
contributed their quota, our young valet.
whose distress had vanished in a moment
as though by enchantment, warmly thanked
his new benefactors for their kindness, and
forthwith proceeded 10 coun, the sum he had
received, which amounted to no less than
twenty-five francs and thiry-fve centimes.
But, instead of quietly putting this sum in
his pocket, he produced the bill of articles
he had lost, and as its total amounted to on
ly fourteen francs, he appropriated no more
than that sum, and then observing in the
group that surrounded him, a poor woman
in rags, the gallant little fellow walked up TO
her, and placed the remainder in her hand.
Certainly it would have been impossible to
have sllewu himselfmore deserving of pub
lie generosity, or TO acknowledge it in a
handsomer manner. The boys noble con-
duct was greeted with the applause of the
crowd, who were delighted 10 find such del
icacy and propriety in one so young.
