A Yous,W Mans First Lesson.

| take it that the first great lesson a
young man has to learn is that he is an ass.
The earlier the lesson is learned, the better
will it be for his peace Of mind and his sue
cess in life. Some never can learn it, and
descend into the evening of existence, their
ears lengthening with shadows as they GO
Some learn it early, get their ears cropped,
and say nothing about it; while others
where they are not noticed. A young man,
bred at home, and growing up in the light
Of paternal admiration and fraternal pride.
cannot readily understand how any one
can be as smart as he is. He goes into
town, puts on airs, gets snubbed, wonders
what it means, goes into society and finds
himself tongue-ticd, undertakes to speak in
a debating club and breaks down, or gets
laughed at, pays attention to nice young
woman, and finds a very large mitten Oh
his hands, and in state Of mind "border-
ing on distraction" sits down to reason
about it. This is critical period Of his
tory. The result Of his reasoning decides
his fate. II he thoroughly comprehcnds
the fact, that he does not know anything :;
that h: is but cipher, and whatever he
gets must be won by hard work, there is
hope for him. he will go to work and
learn how to live. On the contrary, if a
huge, self-conceit holds possession of him,
if he gets cross and sour, If he turns up
his nose, or sneaks, he will be cut The
world has no use for him. A young man
who is not tractable and placab!e, and who
refuses to admit to himself that he does not
know anything to speak of, and to do it
good naturcdly might as we'll retire to pri-
vate life first as last. Timothy 2itcomb

The DISADVANTAGES OF A LONG SERMON
"A preac chcr had divided his sermon into
thirty-two sections. One of his auditory
rose Immediately, who, being asked whith-
er he was going said, ITO fetch my night
cap, for foresee we shall pass the night
here In effect, the preacher having
lost the thread of his subdivisions, could
never reach the end Of his sermon. The
whole auditory, losing patience and seeing
the night approached, filed off, one after
the other, The preacher, who was short
sighted, did not perceive this desertion,
and confused to gesticulate in the pulpit /;
when little singing boy, who remained
alone, cried to him, "Sir, here are the keys
Of the church when you have done, be so
good as to lock the gate" fa

sB- One of the jealous chaplains of the
army of the Potomac called on a Colonel

about the religious interests of his men,
He was politely received, and beckoned to

finest regiments in the army

DO you think you pay sufficient atten-
ton to the religious instruction of your
men?' asked the chaplain. 1a#

"A lively interest has bccn awakened in
the regiment; the Lord has blessed
the labors Of his servants, and ten men
have already been baptized said the chap

Yes, sir replied the chaplain.

THE SNOW SHO Err .
~ WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

Stand here by my side and turn pray,
On the lake below thy gentle eye
The clouds hang over it, heavy and gray,
And dark and silent the wat er lies;
And out of the frozen mist the snow
In wavering flakes begins to flow
Flake after fake,
They sink Ia the dark and silent lake.
See how in a living swarm they come
From the chambers beyond that mi sty veil
Some hover awhile in air, and some
Rush prone from the sky like summer hail.
All, dropping swiftly settling slow,
Meet, and are still in the depth below;
Flake after fake,
Dissolved in the dark and silent lake.
IIe,e delicate snow-stars, out Of the cloud,
Come floating downward in airy play,
Like spangles dropped from the glistening crowd
That whiten by night the milky way ..,
There broader and hHrlier masses fall,
The sullen waters bury them all
Flake after flake,
All drowned in the dark aud silent lake.
And some, as on tender wings they glide ...
From their chilly birth cloud, dim and gray,
Are joined in their fall, and side by side
Come cin,,ing along their unsteady way;
As friend with riend or husband and " fe,
Makes hand in hand the passage Of life,
Each mat ed fake,
Soon sizks in the dark and silent lake.
Lo while we are gazing, in swiftcr haste
Stream down the SHOWS till the air is white.
A. myriads, by myriad madiy chased
They ding them selves from their sliadowy height
The frail, fair creatures of middle sky,
What speed they make with the grave SO nigh
Flake after fake,
To lie in the dark and silent lake!
I see in thy gentle eyes tear:
They turn to me in sorrowful thought;
Thou thnkest of friends. the good and dear,
Who we're for time, and now not
;kash sh.Sn fo,H Nl,s l.lras, IS a, o,Ir r~-sk
That glisten a moment and then are lost
Flake after fake,
All lost in the dark and silent lake.
Yet look again, for the clouds divide:
gleam of blue on the wat er lies;
And far away on the mountain side
sunbeam falls from the opening skies,
But the hurrying host that few between
The cload and the water more is
Flake after fake.
All rest in the dark and silent lake.

PLEASURES OF PRODIGALITY.--It would
be an unpleasant arrangement for man to
be carried across from England to France,
fixed on a board so weighed that his mouth
and nostris should be on level with the
water, and thus he should be struggling for
life, and barely escaping drowning all the
way. Yet hosts Of people, whom no one
proposes to put under restraint, do as re-
CARDS their income and expenditure, a pre-.
cisely analogous thing. They deliberately
weigh themselves to that degree that their
heads are barely above water, and that any
unforeseen emergency dips them under

AMUsEMENTs. Of one kind
or another are as necessary to the elaslici-
ty, healthtulness, and vigor 0! the mind, as
certain relaXations from labor to the health
of the body. They act as stmulant to
the mind, and do good as a me,licine-they
relieve the monotony of life, which without
occasional interruption and change, would
impair the best physical frame and lead to
ennui and pochondrasis. Refreshed by
a few hours Of occasional recreation and
amusement, We return: to the stern labors
and business Of life, with renewed ply steal

A Coon. .ONE.-A Yankee and French
man owned pig.in partnership. When
killing time they wished to divide the meat
the Yankee was very anxious to divide so
that he could get both headquarters, and
persuaded the Frenchman that the way to
divide was to cut it across the back.
The Frcnchman agreed to do it, on condi.
ton that the Yankee would turn his back,
and take the choice Of pieces after it was
cut in two. The Yankee turned his back
accordingly. ....
Frechman-Vich piece will yoa have, ze

Yankee-The piece with the tail on.

A MINISTERIAL ANECDorE-A few Satur-
days ago couple Of Revcrends of our ac-
quaintance were holding services at pri-
vate house in one Of the upper townships
of this county. As we do not wish to give
names, we will designate the aforesaid
preachers as Rev. T. and Rev. X. The
Brother and Sister at whose house con-
grcgation Of some six or eight persons had
assembled, was middle-aged couple, but
their household had never been enlivcned
by the presence Of children. Rev t.,
in conducting the services, thought proper,
as the custom is, to remember his "host'
in his petitions to a Throne Of Grace, and
so he prayed for "a blessing on the par
ents." Seeing his mistake, he tried to cor
rect it by saying, bless the united head
but this wouldn't do, either, so he broke
forth vehemently with "Lord bless the achole
Aousrhold!" Brother k, coming to the
rescue, emphatically responded "Amen ~

The APPROACH OF SLEEP-It is a deli

nestled in bed, and feeling that you shall
drop gently to sleep. The good to come
not past; the limbs have been Just tired
enough to render the remaining in one po-
sition delightful. The labor of the day is
done. A gentle failure Of the perceptions
comes creeping over one; the spirit of con-
sciousness disengages itself more and more
with slow hushing degrees like mother
detaching her hand from that of her sleep
ing child the mind appears to have
balmy lid closing over it, like the eye, It's
closing-'tis more closing-'tis closed The
