pecially- -arc proud Of great fsats OF strength
and endurance. They arc not satisflcd with
ordinary labor faithfully performed; they
must be doing some wonderful thing to excite
attention and secure praise. Such men may
be useful in their way, but are not generally
the most useful in society. Il For all ordinary
purposes, they are apt to be, ,lasy, and vaid,

In playfnlness Of youth, or the vigor Of
early manhood, It is natural for one to love
to try his strength Or his agility, just for tho
fun Of it. Ordinarily, no harm comes from
such performances; yet We must be allowed
to say, be careful in your gymnastics. Not
few young farmers and mechanics have, by
the cxcesscs Of single day, laid the foundsl
tons Of disease or infirmity for q whole life.
In the present season Of haying and harvest
ing, warn Of caution here may be timely.
Young men don't be ambitious to do great
days work. At all seasons OF the year, more
will be accomplished by doing regularly
fixed and moderate amount Of work, than BY
overtaxing yourself at any period. The work
will be better done, and you viii be likely to
live longer to enjoy its fruits.

thus tells; Even in the darkest cellar, when
spring comes, the tubcr sprout. No rains
help i, and sunlight; yet it will waste it's
very life in.shooting forth long and etiolated
stems, kn1neh toward any chink or crew.
