A cheerful spirit gets on quick;

A Scene in the Future.

In a lecture recently delivered at Chi

scene that will doubtless Que day bo 1
common one. Speaking Of the future o
our country, she drew q picture that
probably many that read these words may
live TO see
We may picture to ourselves a group
of noble young lads, some ten years
hence, thus proudly accounting for their
orphanagc--an orphauagc which the
country should see to it shall not be des.
olate.
Says one, " Ny father fell in beating
back the invaders at Gettysburg" Says
another, "My father fell on Lookout
Mountain, fighting above the clouds.
Says third, +" MY father suffered Mar
tyrdom in Libby Prison" Says auoth'
or, My father went down in the Cum
bcrland;" )" yet another, " My father vas
rocked into the long sleep below the
wave, in the iron cradle of the Monitor.'
And thcrc will be hapless lads who will
listen in mournrul envy, saying in thei1
secret hearts, "Alas, VIC have no part mol
lot in such gloryings. Or fathers were
rebels !" And here and there youth
more unfortunate, will steal away from
his comrades and murmur, in bitterness
Of soul, "Ah, God help me My father
was q C1pperhead"

SANTA ANNA.-General Santa Anna
who has onco moro turned up in Mexi.
can affairs, is now q man Of sixty-seven
years. For more than forty-years he
has been concerned in Mexican politics,
but oftencst as a disorganizor. By ma
ture ambitious, he appears upon the
scene, either by proclamation or in per
son, whenever the desperate nature oi
affairs leads him to hope that he may
put himself at the head Of the State
Two years ago he proclaimed in favor OF
Macmillan. At that time he evidently
thought the new Emperor's chances
good; his present proclamation shows
that he, who has watched the course oi
events carefully, and who has excellent
means of informing himself of the real
situation in Mexico, secs that Maximil'
lians prospects are hopeless. In pro-
claiming against the Archduko and in
favor Of a republic, the astute but un'
principled Santa Anna gives notice that
the downfall of the French usurpation
is at hand.-N. Y. Ecening Post.

Councils for the Young.

Never be worried by trifes. fla spi-
der breaks his thread twenty times, twcu.
ty times will he mend it again. Make
up your mind to do thing, and you will
DO it. Fear not if trouble comes upon
you keep up your spirits, though the
day be dark one.
Troubles never stop forever
The darkest days will pass away.
If the sun is going down. look up at
the stars ; if the earth is dark, keep your
eyes on heaven! With Gods promise,
man or child may be cheerful.
Never despair when fog's in the mir
a sunshiny morning will como without worn
ing.
Mind what you run after ! Never be
content with buble that will burst, or
frcwork that will end in smoke and
darkness. Get that which you can keep,
and is worth keeping.
Something sterling that will stay
When gold and silver fly away.
Fight hard against hasty temper.
Anger will como but resist it stoutly.
a spark may set house on fro. A tit
Of passion may give you cause to mourn
all tho days of your life. Never re-
vcugc an injury.
IIc that rcvengcth knows no rest.
The meek possess o peaceful breast.
If you have an enemy, act kindly to
him and make him your friend. You
may not win him over at once, but try
again. Let one kindness be followd by
another till you have compassed your
end. BY little, great things are com
plctcd.
Wafer falling duy by day,
Wears the hardest rock away.
And so repeated kindness will soften
4 heart Of stone.
Whatever you do, do it willingly. A
boy that is whipped to school never
learns his lessons we'll. A man that IS
compelled to work cares not how badly
it is performed. lie that pulls off his coal
chccrfully, strips up his sleeves in earnest
and sings while he works, is the man fos
me.
A cheerful spirit gets on quick;
A grumb!cr in the mud will stick.
EriI thoughts are worse enemies than
lions and tigers, for VIC can keep out OF
the way of wild beasts, but bad thoughts
win their way everywhere. The cup thai
is full Of good thoughts, bad thought:
find no room to enter.
BE on your guard and strive and pray
10 drive Nil evil thoughts away.
