ADVICE TO You've MEN.-In his valedictory
address, the ex-Lord Rector of GLASGOW
University, Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, lately
offered the following excellent maxims to the
students:
Never affect (he said) to be other than
you are, either. richer or wiser Never be
ashamed to say, whether applied to time OF
money, cannot afford it | cannot afford
to waste an hour in the idleness to which
you have invited me. | cannot afford the
guinea you ask me to throw away
:" Once establish yourself and YOUR mode
of life at what tLey really are and your feet
are on solid ground, whether for the gradual
step onward, or for the sudden spring over
the precipice."
From these maxims let me deduce another:
Learn to say. 'no'' with decision; 'syeso
with caution. - No" with decision whenever
it meets a atemptation yes" with caution
whenever it implies promise. A promise
given is a bond inviolable A man is already
of consequence in the world when it is know
that we can implicitly rely on him. have
frequently seen such man preferred to a
long list of applicants for some important
charge; he has been lifted at once into sta.
tion and fortune merely because he has the
reputation that when he knows a thing. he
knows it; and when he says he will do a
thing, he will do it.

A MILK-MAID Comes TO GR!EP.-Grantlev

from her dainty little milking hat that
hung on one side of her graceful head and
the smallest little apron tied below her laced
s:omacher, till she came opposite his Royal
Highness, to whom she dropped a really
graceful courtesy. Then passing lightly
over the beautiful plated straw, her tucked
up gown showing her neat ankle, as we'll as
her colored stockings, she placed her stool
and pail convenient for use. Leaning against
the flank of the crossest looking one of the
Alderneys, she was attempting to commence
her rustic labors, but not having selected

A Grand DucaI Brute.

The cruelties and vicious caprices of the
Grand Duke Constantine, of Russia, are
matters of history. Tie story of his i'll
treatment of an officer of the lancers of the
Guard, though doubtless well remembered by
many, will bear repetition. 1t is recorded bv
llarro Herring: The horse of am unfortunate
officer had performed nearly all the evolu
tons OF the parade satisfactorily, when it
suddenly became restive, and would obey
neither the whip nor the spur of the rider
Constantine fell into violent rage. uttering
horrible imprecations. He commanded tie
squadron to halt, ordered pyramid of mus
kets, with bayonets fixed, to be placed in
stantly on the parade. The officer was then
commanded to leap his horse over it. The
animal was fortunately obediert, and cleared
the ghttering steel on which Constantine
would fam have impaled him. Sternly he
was commanded to repeat the leap and to
the surprise OF the spectators the horse clear
ell the bayonets a second time. This only
made the ruiflan prince more angry. He re-
peated the order a third time, when Gene
raj stepped forward and endeavored to'saye
the ofhcer by observing that the horse must
be exhausted, and that another attempt
would most probably destroy the horse and
rider. Constantine ordered the General to
be arrested, for presuming to interfere with
his orders. The leap was cleared the third
time. The grand duke, still more enraged
ordered fourth attempt The horse cleared
the pyramid with broken fore-egs, the off
Ger escaped unhurt. Trembling and CHASTITY
pale, he advanced and laid his sword at the
feet OF Constantine, thanking the monster for
the honor he had enjoyed in the emperor's
service. The sword was taken, with threat
tor such conduct on the part of the archduke,
who ordered him to the guard house. His
fate was never known. 1t was not wonder.
iul, therefore, that Alexander and Nicholas
should have foreboded no good from their
brothers coming to the crown, and that they
should have set him aside by sinister deal
ing, step effected in the true Russian style
OF action, that is, by the adoption of falsehood
and dupllcity in BRINGING about the object.

accident illustrative of this fact was told us

mountain in quest of a load. Suddenly the
brute settled in snow drift up to his ears.
After vain efforts to extricate him the Don
procured a shovel and began to clear away
the snow. As the hard surface was removed
the donkey shot forward, waiving his tail in
adieu to his old master, and disappeared. :

WASTE IN WORKING GOLD OREs-We are in
formed, says San Francisco exchange, by a
gentleman connected with one of the most
extensive metallurglcal works in the State,
that within few days past quantity of orc
from n mine IN Mariposa county was sent to
his estab bills hment to be operated upon. The
party sending it stated that there was n
large vein of the ore, but could not be made
to yield more than Sl4 per ton by their pro-
