MEN WANTED.

The great want Of this age is men.
Men who are not for sale. Men who
are honest, sound from centre to cir
cumferance, true to the hearts core.
Men who fear the Lord and covetous
ness. Men who will condemn wrong
in friend or foe, in themselves as well
as in others. Men whose consciences
are steady as the needle to the pole.
Men who will stand for the right if the
heavens totter and the earth reels. Men
who can tell the truth and look the
world and the devil right in the eye.
Men that neither swagger nor finch.
Men who can have courage without
Whistling for it and JOY without shout
ing to bring it. Men in whom the cur
rent Of everlasting life runs still, and
deep, andstrong. Men careful Of Gods
honor and careless Of Mems applause.
Men too large for sectarian limits and
too strong for sectarian bands. Men
who do not strive, nor cry, nor cause
their voices to be heard IN the streets,
but who will not fail nor be discoura-
ged, till judgment be set in the earth.
Men who know their message and tell
it. Men who mind their own busi-
ness. Men who will not lie. Men who
are not too lazy to work, nor too proud
to be poor. Men who are willing to
eatwhat they have paid for. Men who
know in whom they have believed.
Men whose feet are on the everlast-
ing rock. Men who are not ashamed
Of their hope. Men who are strong in
divine strength, wise with the wisdom
that cometh from above, and loving
with the love of christ. Men Of God |!

GooD ADvICE.-Some one says:
"Girls, let us tell you a stubborn truth!
No young woman ever looks so well to
asensible young man, as when dressed
ina plain, neat, modest attire without a
single ornament about her person. She
looks thenas though shepossessed worth
in herself, and needed no artificial rig
ging to enhance her value. fla young
woman would spend so much time in
calculating her mind, training her tenn
per, and cherishing kindness, mercy,
andothergood qualities, as most of them
doineX ira dress and ornaments, to in
crease their personal charms, she would
at q glance, be known among ten thous-
and-her character would be read in
her countenance."

THE ELDEST DAUGHTER AT HOME.
TO be able to get dinner, TO sWeepthe
room, to make a garment, to tend ba-
by, would add greatly to the list of a
young lady7s accomplishments. Where
can we behold more lovely sight than
the eldest daughter ola family standing
in the sweet simplicity of her new wo-
manhood, by theside other toiling, care
worn mother, to relieve and aid her?
Now she presides at the table, now di-
rectS in the kitchen, now amusing the
fretting babe, now diverts half score
of little folks in the library. She can
assistheryounger brothers in their stud
les, read the newspaper to her weary
father, or smooth the aching brow of
her erfevered mother. Always ready with
helping hand, or cheerful smile for
every emergency, she is an angel of
owe, and a blessing to the home circle.
Should she be called out oft to origi-
nate home of her own would she be
any less lovely or self-sacrificing?

MODERN FAsHIONs.-A young Ia

in New York hoop skirt factory, is
said to have written to a friend letter
from which the following is extracted:

THE LAw.-TwO Dutchmen, who
built and used in common small
bridge over a stream which ran through
their farms, had a dispute concerning
some repairs which itrequired, and one
of them positively refused to bear any
portion of the expense necessaryto the
purchase ola few planks. Finally the
aggrieved party went to neighboring
lawyer, and placing ten dollars in his
hand, said:
'I'n give you all dish money ifyou'll
make Hans do justice nit de bridge"
GLOW much will it cost torepair it ?''
asked the honest lawyer.
"Not more ish five dollars" replied
the Dutchman.

pocketing one Of the notes, and giving
him the other; take this and go and
get the bridge repaired it's the best
course you can take,
"Yaas," said the Dutchman slowly,
''yaas, dat ish more better as to quarrel
NIT Hans" but as he went along home
he shook his head frequently, as if un-
able after all, to see quite clearly how
he had gained anything by going to
law.

THE VIRGINIA TOBACCO CRoP.-The
Richmond Wig says that the Virginia
tobacco crop has turned out well, the
quantity being considerable and the
quality good. Nearly every farmer
whose land admitted of it has raised
tobacco, and as this is the great money
crop of Virginia, the Wig anticipates
that by the sale of their tobacco he far
mers viii be placed in good financial
position, and can begin theiragricultu-
raj labor next year under better pros
poets.

FOOD FOR BONDHoADERs.

The Hamilton Spectator published in
Canada West, Of the 10Th ult., contained
the following startling paragraph,
which ourcapitalist5 will do well to read
and seriously ponder upon:
The laterapid decline in United States
securities in England has excited con-
siderable surprise. When ace read the IN
cendiayy speeches Of the Radical leaders,
howeUer, their open threats Of cjrU tcar
and feet determination to regard tie
Southern States as conquered pr0riaceS
and not as q portion Of arestored Union,
tCe can scarcely 4C0I3der at this decline.
Until the difficulty at present existing
between the President and Congress is
settled, confidence cannot be expected
to revive. Capitalists will not care to
invest their money in country so torn
by political differences and unsettled by
political uneasiness. We learn that in
geSf1aeIats in United States securities hare
almost ceased, not only in London, 5sttdI-
so ue FrdahJOrt, the quotations being dt-
most entirety nominal. at the same time
aU other securities maintain their prj-
ces, Austrian included, which are deem
ed more worthy ofcOnfidence than those
ofthe American republic. The c0nse-
quence of the decline in American secu-
rites in Europe will, in due course Of
time, be a corresponding depression in
the States, coupled with a depreciation
in the currency, and consequent rise
in the price of gold. And all this is the
result of the clustering vap0ring of the
Radical party, their constantly reitera-
ted threats Of war with Great Britain,
and their ecident determination TO preCelet
aay reconciliation Qfhe ddrerse parties
in the States.

WINGED GAME.-A late number of
the London AthefCel05a, in reviewing a
work on natural history, gives a list of
the different terms which are properly
applied to floclls of various kinds of
winged game-a blunder in which
would at once settle ones character as a
sportsman. Thus one ought to say a
brood of grouse, a bevy Ofquails, a COW
er of partridges, covert of coots, a
dropping of sheldrake, fightof wood
cock, a gaggle of geese when they are
at rest, 3kein Of geese when on the
wing, herd of swans, a mid of pleas
ants, a spring of teal, sege of herons,
a team of wild ducks trip of dotterels,
wing of plovers and wisp of snipes.
