Early Rising.

''He who would thrive must rise at five,
So says the proverb; but there is more rhyme than
reason in it; for if
He who would thrive must rise at FIVE.
it must follow, naturally,
He who would thrive more must rise at Gonr.
and it will insure consequence that,
He who'd still more thriving be,
Must leave his bed at turn Of three;
and who this latter would outdo
Will rouse him at the stroke of two.
And, by way of climax to it all. it shoula hc hold
good that
He who'd never be outdone
Must ever rise as soon as one
But the best illustration would be,
He who'd flourish best of al,
Should never 60 to bed at ALL

Your Mission

-~NNAOAAs
If you cannot on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest feet;
Rocking on the highest pillows,
Laughing at the storms you meet
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the BAY,
You can lend hand to help them.
AS they launch their boats away.
If you are too weak to Journey,
Up the mountains steep and high,
You can stand within the valley,
While the multitudes go by;
You can chant in happy measure,
-, As they slowly pass along,
Though they may forget the singer,
They will not forget the song.
1fyou have not gold and silver,
Ever ready to command,
III you cannot, toward the needy,
Reach an ever open hand,
You can visit the afflicted,
Oer the erring you can weep;
Iou can be q true disciple,
Sitting at our Saviour feet
If you cannot, in the conflict,
Prove yourself soldier true,
Ii, where fire and smoke are thickest,
There's no work for you to do;
When the battlefield is silent.
You can go with silent tread;
Gu can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead.
Do not, then, stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do;
Fortune is lazy goddess,
She will never come to you;
Go and toll in any vineyard,
Do not fear to do or dare,
1t you want field of labor,
You can find it ANYwHERB.

the same number Of inhabitants which
she had twenty years ago-8 1000, ,000.--
Ofthese, only one million are pure whites,
and mixed breeds, who are whites by ed
ucation aud sympathy The remaining
sevon millions are Indians and the vari-
GUS grades Of mixtures of whites, Indi.
ans and negroes, who are properly re-
garded as Indians from their Asbits aud
styles of living. The Indians of Mexico

per, broad face, prominent e5esk bones,
like the North American tribs. But
they arc totally different race from
their Northern brethren being capable of
high civilization, and being endowed
with different natural Impulses, which
rendor them agriculturists and artisans
rather than warriors and hunters. In
few tribes the love Of liberty is so strong
that the white man has nsver been able
20 subdue them and the Spaniards we're.
only two willing to live With them upon
terms of equality and friendship. The
French sent several expeditions against
the Indians of the Sierras but all re-
turned worsted. The Austrians we're but
little more successful, and, finally, were
obliged to conclude treaty with those
wild sons of the mountains.
In many parts of the country the
wealthy Indians, descendants Of the Az.
tee nobility, are among the best educated
and most prominent people Of The eoar-
try.
