ONE BRIcK WRONG Not long ago some
workmen were engaged in building large
BRICK tower, which was 10 be carried up very

with The greasest care, especially in the first
courses, or rows, which had TO bear iheI
weight OF all the rest OF the building. How
ever, one of the workmen did not mind
what had been told him. In laying cor
ner, he very carlessly left one Of the bricks
little crooked, cut OF line or, as the ma
sons call it, "not plumb" "Weli," you
may say, "it was only one single brick in|
a great pile of them. What difference does
it make if that was not exactly straight i''
You will see directly. The work went on.
Nobody noticed that iLere was one brick
wrong. Bot 8 each knew course of brick
was kept in line with those already laid,
the tower was not put up exactly straight,
and the higher they built il the more inse-
cure il became. One day when the tower
had been carried up about fifty feet tre-
meudous crash was heard. The building
had fallen 10 the ground, burying the work
men in the ruins All the previous work
was lost and the materials were wasted !;
and worse than this-valuable lives were
sacrificed-and all because one brick had
been laid ,Orong at the start. The workman
who carelessly laid that brick wrong, little
thought what dangerous thing he was de-
ing, and what terrible harm would result
from his neglect.
My dear young friend, you are now build.

! now form you are laying the foundation
of that character. One bad habit, one brick
laid wrong now, may ruin your character
by and by. Remember what you are doing
and see that every brick is kept straight

Tennessee. in 1856, saw that the non.
stakeholder was the readisst man TO raise up
and reduce the negro to subjugation; and
would join the master in extirpating, il
necessary, this race from existance, rather
than see them liberated and turned loose
upon the country. Everything said on
this subject was to meet the fallacious and
absurd idea that the non-sIaveho der of the
South would unite with the negroes against
their masters"

EDUCATuoN DEFIN NED.-Ruskin says: An
educated man ought 10 know three things ::
First, where he is, that is to say, wha, sort
OF world he has got INTO /; how large it is !;
what kind OF creatures live in il, and how !;
what it is made of, and what may be made
OF it. Secondly, where he is going, that i.
10 say, what chances or reports there are OF
OF any.o,her world: besidessIhis what seems
TO be the nature OF that other world. Thirdly,
what he had best do under the circum
stancss,i that is TO say, what kind OF faculty
he possesses what are the present state
and wants of mankind what are the rea-
diest means in his power of attaining hap
piness and diffusing it. The man who
knows these things, ard who has his will
so suedued in The learning OF them that he
is ready TO do what he knows he ought, is
an educated man aud the man who knows
them not is unedacated, though he could
talk all the tongres of Babel.

Let Girls be Girls.

There are so many people who, in some
wsy or other, are always rsgretiing and
complaining that girls are not premature
old women. They would have them full
OF wisdom and experience as Solomon or
Prince Metlernich they would have them
drilled into The hardest work Of the house
and farm, until they have lost life and Wv
acity, and are unfit for anrihing but the
commonest routine of domestic life. In the
first morning sunlight OF existsnce the grav-
ity OF gray hairs is expected, and The silent
profundiiy OF an old bis-eyed owl. They
must have the power ofreAection that be-
ongsto an antiquaied COW ,and the faculty of
doing twenty things at oncs, known only
10 the mother Of fourteen children. They
must have an ardent admiration for science
and philosophy they must like drab high
neckec dresses, and wear their hair combed
straight behind without ornament. They
must like calf shoes and dyed stock
ings, and glory in hard, brown hands and
sun-burnt complexion. They mus; look
with incorporating hostility OR all nice
young men, and never firi The least bit in
the world. They must read Locke, Bacon,
Sir Isaac Newton, and study the pecuIiari-
lies OF spiders and beetles for recreation
until they look themselves like the fossils
remains OF the British Museum.
Il is no use-grls will be girls az long as
the world lasts; they will commit thou-
sand foles; they will get up undyin2
| friendshIps, which will last somelimes a
| day, sometimes .week, sometimes a
month, sometimes year. They will have
several attacks of the affections, just as
children have the whoeping cough and
measles, during which time they imagiae
they shall neuer survive: and they shall die.
But they don'l they live 10 become quite,
industrious, sensible wives and motAe ers-
generally great deal TOO good for the indi-
viduals who own them. Thank goodness
they will always wear pretty dresses when
ever they can get them it is natural, and
just as proper as for the flowers to take diff
ferent hues. Those croakers who wau
young girls 10 dress, in brown and drab
would extinguish the sunlight, would have
the sky alwsysa dull lead color, would
burn up the fresh green grass, would whith
er the leaves on The Trees, and extingui oh
