What can be more imprudcnt--we
might say absolutely crucI--than for

bition or caprice, to force a son into a
calling at which his whole nature re-
volts, or for which he is unqualified by
physical or mental organization -

Jcsuits, who cvinccd extraordinary
power Of penetrating the secrets of
the human heart, achieved miracles Of
success in educating youth. One chief
source of the astonishing influence
which they once exercised over the
world, is said to have been the sagac-
ity they manifested in adapting the
particular business or agency of the
different members Of their order to the
peculiar qualifications with which
they were endowed by nature. There
is hardly any person who is not quail
flied to Shine in some profession, and
it is better to be at the head of an
inglorious calling than at the foot of
one which the world calls par crcel-

Nature has specially organized them,
who can doubt that such practice,

A few minutes afterwards the sailor called to a negro who was saving wood near by, and took him into the shop which had been pointed out where he treated him to a drink. The bar-ten- der asked the sailor if he was not also going to drink. hut received negative answer. and both the visitors left. Very soon the sailor again made his appearance, calle-i for liquor, and was asked why he did not drink when he was in be- fore.

Two Items for the Ladies.

We came across the following in our ex- changes and clip them 10 show that hoops, like diversity, have their uses:
 "The Springfield Register says: A young man living on Horse creek, in company with a couple of young ladies, in attempting to ford the south fork, one day last week, came near losing their lives. The creek was greatly swollen by the heavy rain which fell few honrs before, and the wagon bed was lifted out of the standards, and, filling with water, capsized and sank, leav ing the passengers struggling in the stream; the strong current carried the young man on to snag. and the ladies some hundred yards down stream, when they were rescued by the man who was driving the team. They were only kept from sinking and drowning by their ample hoors, thereby showing the utility as we'll as beauty of this article of female apparel, and proving in emergencies like this as good as the best life preserver."
 Lewistown (Pa.) Democrat says:
 "On Friday last as Miss Aida Smith was looking at a canal-boa in motion, she became dizzy and fell into the water. Her hoops, how ever, buoyed her up, and she floate'i down the ,reasg canal" about forty yards when she vas rescued"
