How Poor Young Men May Succeed

Young man, are you poor, and with
out means of splaryiag in life, as you
launch upon its pillows? Is your father
poor and unable to give you an outfit ?
BE not dscnheartcned on account Of these
things. Take earnest hold of life, and
never regard yourself in any other light
than that of being destined to high and
noble purpose. Study closely the bent
Of your mind for labor or Profession
Whatever you resolve upon, do it early ;
follow it steadily and untiringly never
look back to what you have encountered, |,
but always forward to what is in your
grasp The world owes every man COM
Portable living and respectable position
in society means are abundant to every
mans snccess; and men have only to
adapt will and action to them.
To repine over want Of money and
property to start out in the world with,
and over the want Of the props Of inauen-
tial relatives, is unmanly. Let young
man strive to create fortune rather than
seek to inherit ono. 1t is an ignoble
spirit that leads a young man to borrow
instesd Of bequeathing means. Go forth
into tho world, young man, conscious o.
your God within you, and his Providenc'
over yo1, and fight your own way TO dis

A MOTHERS LOVE.

How pure, how holy is mothers love.
None can tell the depth of that love save
those who have kind and gentle mother
to watch over and care for them in their
various undertakings. When every other
earthly friend has forsaken us and we are
ready to denounce the world as cold and
heartless. then in that hour of darkness
and despair, she is ever ready to bind up
the broken heart and pour the balm of
consolation into the wounded spirit
Should we by a sudden caprice of fortune
be called upon to tread the dark windings
of poverty's vale, she submits not to use
less repinings but with gentle frmness
whispers, Look aloft and be firm and
fearless Of heart" Thus dilfusing a ge-
nial influence through her little household
which renders the path less steep See
her as her darling child is about to launch
his frail bark upon life's stormy ocean
That child to whose prattling tongue she
listened and whose wayward footsteps
she has guided from infancy. Hear her
pray Father protect him from the wiles
Of the wicked" and when she had en-
braced him for the last time, she placed
in his hand the book Of Gods inspiration
and breathes Remember love who gave
thee this" When prostrated by the
rude hand of disease, there is none so
kind, so loving as mother. When all
others are wrapt in quiet slumber, un-
mindful of sorrow, she keeps her lonely
vigils by the bedside of the sufferer, low
ingly anticipating the slightest wish.--
Though her feeble body be almost ex-
hausted, she refuses to submit her place
to another; for she seems to know that
no hand can smooth the pillow so softly,
or bathe the feverish brow, so tendcrly
as mothers. Who could be SO cruel,
so heartless, as to give her gentle spirit
pain and yet how many fond mother
has been brought in sorrow to the grave
by the ingratitude of those who should
have been the staff of her declining years.
O, mothers love, next to that of the
wife or husband, should be cherished
above all others. She is our first, our
last, our frmest friend.

WHERE'S THE DIFFERENCE.

a poor man sat at his window--no /
am wrong; it was the window Of hired
house. 1t was a small mansion, little
tenement painted white, and surrounded
by richer establishments that seemed to
look down with a sort of crimson con-
tempt upon their neighbor, The occu.
pants Of those stately mansions were very
much annoyed by the simple little house,
and the very simple little children that
played on the steps, and generally kept
its curtains down on the side that looked
toward them.
But, as l said before, a poor man sat
at one of the windows overlooking the
street. He was thoroughly noble look
ing man, too, with handsome Roman fea-
lures, and eye like hawk. With the
exception of his coarse clothes, he was
much more gentlemanly and dignificd in
appearance than any merchant in that
priocely row.
A pile Of brick had been emptied near
his doorway; they were for repairs. AS
the man looked out he, saw two or three
chlercn, with his own little ones, hum.
ming and buzzing about the bricks
Their dainty little hands were eager to
fashion houses, bridges, and all sorts Of
momentary architecture. Suddenly the
poor old man bethought him Of pastime
of his own when he was a child, and his
heart having retained the pure, sweet
emotions Of youth through the cares and
hardships Of mature life he hastily threw
on his hat, and and going down he taught
them new trick. 1t was this, to place
row Of bricks on end, quite near tC
each other, forming long line; by touch
ing the last one an impetus is given tc
every brick by its next neighbor, and the
row is presently swept down in regula
order. The children clapped their hands
and shouted so loudly that some Of the
rich neighbors coming to their windows
saw how their little ones were employed
taking lessons in amusement from poo
and almost unknown man.
"What fool !" said one snccringly
I"I should think the man was an over

GENERAL JACKsoN's WIFE.

Many of our public men have been
blessed with wives and mothers who were
the ornaments Of their sex, and theirquiet
and ennobling influence large
ly to the subsequent greatness o. their
children and husbands. Mr.. Parton tells
the following story of General Jackson's
wife:
When Gen. jackson was candidate
for the Presidency in 1923, not only did
the party opposed to him abuse him for
his public acts, which if unconstitutional
or violent, were a Legitimate subject OF
reprobation, but they detained the char
actcr of his wife. On one occasion a
newspaper published in Nashville was laid
upon the Generals table. He galanced
over it, and his eyes fell upon an ar
ticle, in which the character of Mrs.
Jackson was violently assailed. So soon
as he read it, he sent for his trusty old
servant Dunwoodie
"Saddle my horse" said he to him in
whisper, "and put my holsters on him.
Mrs. Jackson watched him, and though
she heard not a word, she thought she
saw mischief IN his eyes. The General
went out after few moments, when she
took up the paper and understood every
thing. She ran out to the south gate of
the yard of the Hermitage, by which the
General would have to pass. She had
not been there more than few seconds
before the General rode up with the coun-
tenance of a mailman. She placed her.
self before his horse and cried out
"Oh, General don't 90 to Nashville.
Let that poor editor live-let that poor
editor hvel" He replied: How came
you to know what l am going for?". She
answered, 81 saw all in this paper after
you went out; put up your horse and go
back" He replied furiously. " But |
will go-get out of my wayl" Instead
of doing this she grasped his bride with
both hands. He cried to her, say let
90 my horse I'll have his hearts blood /:
the william that reviles my wife shall not
livel"
She graspcd the reins but the tighter,
and began to expostulate with him, say
ing that she was the one that ought to be
angry but that she forgave her persecu-
tors from the bottom of her heart, and
prayed for them--that he should forgive
if he hoped to be forgiven. AT last by
her reasoning, her entreaties and tears,
she so worked upon her husband that he
seemed Modified to certain extent. She
wound up by saying, No, General you
shall not take the life of even my reviler /;
you dare not do it, for it is written, Ven
geance is mine, l will repay, saith the
Lord"
The iron ncrved hero gave way before
the earnest pleading of his beloved wife,
and he replied: 81 yield to you but had
it not been for you and the words Of the
Almighty, tho wretch should not have
lived an hour"

a century. Returning to their quarry, a
fire was kindled; the kettle containing
the seven carcasses was placed thereupon
and soon a most savory smell was spread
abroad upon all the winds. When the
animals were stewed after the approved
fason of his ancestors, Ossan sat down
to his repast. Now as, since his sojourn
with the fairies, he had never enjoyed a
sufficient meal, it was his custom to gath
er up the superauous folds of his stomach
by wooden splints nine in number. As
he now fed and expanded, splint after
splint was thrown away, till at last, when
the kettle was emptied, he lay down per-
fcctly satisfied, and silent as the ocean at
the full of tied.
Removing himself he gathered all the
bones together-set fire to them, till the
black smoke which arose darkaned the
heaven. Little one,' then said Ossian,
go up to the knoll and tell me if you see
anything
"A great bird is flying hither,' said the
boy, and Immediately the great Fingalian
blackbird alighted at the feet of Ossian,
who at once caught and throttled it
The fowl was carried home, and was in
the evening served for supper.
After it was devoured, Ossian called
for the stag's thigh bone, and before the
face of the astonished and convicted Peter
of the Psalms, dropped it in the hollow
of the blackbird's leg.
Ossian died on the night of his triumph,
and the only record of his songs is the
volume which Peter in his rage threw in
to the fire, and from which, when half
consumed, it was rescued by his wife.

CoysUMPrIoN.--This malady seems for
the present destined to battle all attempts
to discover certain cure. The hypo-
phosphites, cod liver oil, and other sup
posed specifics, do not seem, pcrccptibly,
to diminish the havoc wrought by this
subtles destroyer. About one'twelfth Of
our race are stated to die from this dis
case, Notwithstanding all the efforts to
cheek its melancholy march by our regu-
lar physicians and their irregular allies.
The fact doubtless is, that the nature
and causes of the malady are by no means
uniform, but vary, to an indefinite de-
gree, in different cases. DIR. Cotton, Of
the Brompton Hospital for Consumption
in England, recently reports that he has
found the iodide of iron act beneiicially
in fair number of consumptive cases
especially where the disease is in an early
stage. The prevention of consumption
is usually possible to medical skill the
cure very seldom. Hence the necessity
of carefully watching and guarding aaginst
the first symptoms of its approach

conference. At one Of their sittings .
brother had been tried for heresy, and,
finally, the charges were considered
proved and he was duly convicted. The
members sat silent, perhaps revolving in
their minds what punishment ought to
be mcted out to this erring brother, who
did not understand the book just as they
did. AT length the presiding bishop
asked
"What will the conference do with the
brother?'
Up rose Peter Sharp, and, with great
gravity, said, 81 move that he be burned
