IV. Comprehend dat there Is troh ai1aosf
ete,Btchercf for him jch0 cua do An Italian
named Biauconi settled in Ireland some sixty
years ago, and got very rich there BY gradu-
ally establishing lines of passenger convey
ances all over that island Almost any man
would have SAID that he who went to Ireland

knows how, and will work, can get rich

be hasn five cent stamp to begin with.
There Is work that will pay for million
more people on the soil of Connecticutalone
There are millions of unDroduetiye acres
within a day ride of this City that might
be bought and rendered largely fruitful at a
clear profit Of 800 or more per acre. A
man in Niles, Mich, declined to 90 gold
hunting in the Rocky Mountains because
there was more gold in Niles than he could
get hold of. The reason was a good one,
and It applies almost everywhere. IF you
can ind nothing to do where you are, it is
generally because you can do nothing.

truth: but we shall never be done needing
Its repetition Hundreds Of thousands are
not only poor but wretched 10 day, simply
because they fail to comprehend or viii not
heed 1t. We Americans are not only an ex-
travagant but an ostentatious people We
habitually spend too much on our own stom-
aches and our neighbors' eyes. We are con
tlnually in hotwater, not because we cannot
live in comfort on our means, but because
we persist in spending more than we need
or can afford. Our youth squander in extra
food and drinks, in frolic aud dissipation,
which does them harm instead of good, the
means which should be the nest egg of their
future competence. When cares and chill
dren cluster about them, they grumble at
ted the years and themeans which might
and should have saved them from present
and future poverty
All these are very trite, homely truths
All our boys have heard them again and
again; but how many have laid them to heart?
We assure G. G. s, and every other youth,
that each may become rich If he will-that
Ito be or not to be rests entirely with
himself; and that his very first lesson is to
distrust and shun BY paths and short cuts,
and keep straight along the broad, obvious
beaten highway. ay.-Netr York Tribune.

NOZZLE SENTIMENT.

This is an agreeable world after ALL IF
we would only bring ourselves to look at the
objects that surround us in their true light,
we should see beauty where before we be-
held deformity, and listen to harmony,
where before we could hear nothing but dis
cord. To be sure there is great deal of
anxiety and vexation to meet but we can
not expect to sail on a summer sea forever !;
yet if we preserve a calm eye and steady
hand, we can so trim our sails and manage
our helm as to avoid the quicksands, and
weather the storm that threaten the ship
wreck.
1--WE are members of one great family !;
we are travelling the same road, and shall
arrive at the same goal We breathe the
free air, we are subject to the same bounty.
We shall lie down on the bosom ofour COM
mon mother 1t is not becoming then that
brother should hate brother it is not prop
er then that friend should deceive friend /;
it is not right that neighbor should injure
neighbOr We pity the man who can har-
Dor enmity against his fellow he loses half
the enjoyment of life he embitters his own
existence. Let US tear from our eyes the
coral medium that invests every object with
the green hue of jealousy and suspicion !;
turn a deaf ear to the tale of scandal ;
breathe the spirit of charity from our lips ;
and from our hearts let the rich gushings OF
human kindness swell up as from fountain
so the golden age" viii become no fiction,
and the ''island of the blessed bloom in
more than Hesperian beauty.

rue INDIAN FAMINE.

From Beadle's Monthly.I
Famine How few persons in our we'll
fed community, comprehend the import Of
the word Happily, as a country, we know
nothing of the appalling affection The cry
for bread not from one poor snfferer, but
from whole city full-not from hoyel, but
from every valley and hillside-who can pic
ture it The soul shrinks back aghast from
the spectacle, and we who live in comforta-
bic homes fain would believe that the vista
ton must pass away with the day and
become a thing of the past.
Perhaps, now, the keen famine 10 India IS
past-that the efforts Of the English gov
ernment to relieve the starving multitudes
have been adequate to the need but the
memory of the fifteen months just past will
long remain, finding Its parallel, in agony
and death in the Florence plague That
great pestiauce which stands out in the his
tory of the fourteenth century as one of
Time alarms 10 frlghten the human race,
ran over the face of the country, according
to the Italian poet Bocaccio 5 statement
''like fire when it comes in contact with

from the plague stricken city brother from

SQUEEZING.

While we are growing very sensible, in
deed in the matter of dress, so far as boots,
balmoral skirts, warm stockings and high
necks, we are degenerating in some other
matters quite as important. The corset is
not a necessary part of woman's ward
robe; and, alas, when woman does begin
to wear corsets she will wear them too small,
and will tug at the laces until her breath be-
comes short, and feels it necessary to refrain
from anything like q comfortable meal We
say nothing about well-shaped corset, worn
loosely, but there lies the difficulty. A loose
corset Injuries the appearance instead of i'm
proving it, and people wear corsets that they
may have small waists. All we can say is,
don't squeeze, whatever you do. You may
have small waists, but you are exposing
yourselves to a dozen misfortunes which are
as bad as large waist. First, you Il surely
have dyspepsia, and grow yellow and cross
and unhappy; secondly, your hands will
grow red; thirdly, your nose; fourthly, you
will be unab,1 to walk mile at once fifth
ly, dinner will be a misery; sixthly, your
shoulder blades viii increase in size and alti-
tude seveGthly, your eyes will grow weak !;
eighty, you will break down at thirty or
thereabout, and be sickly old woman from
that time forth. If these truths do not
frighten women from tight corsets, perhaps
the information that gentlemen do not ad-
mire what dressmakers call pretty fig
ure, so much as natural ONE, may have
some influence.

AN ESGLIsHMAN' S OPINION OF A3ERI-
CAN WOMEN. Hepworth Dixon's new
book about America, writes correspondent
Of the Boston AdrerttSer he devotes chap
ter to ladies', generally complimentary. In
the sweet New England girls he thinks there
must be lack of vital power. AT present
ing lest they should vanish from before
America ''the traditions of English beauty
have not declined the oval face, the deli
cate lip, the transparent nostrl, the pearl
like flesh, the tiny hand, which mark in
May Fair the lady of high descent, may be
seen in all the best houses of Virginia ard
Massachusetts,. The proudest London belle,
the fairest Lancashire witch, would find in
Boston and in Richmond rivals in graees
and beauty whom she could not feign to des-
pise" Again: New York beauty has
more dash and color, Boston beauty more
sparkle and delicacy. y Some men prefer
the more open and audacious loveliness of
New York, with the RuDens-like rosiness
and fullness of the flesh; but an English
eye will find more charm in the soft and shy
expression Of the elder type. Among the
lower grades of women there is no such
wide and plentiful crop of rustic loveliness
as an artist finds in England the bright
eyes, the curly locks, the rosy compilations,
everywhere laughing you into pleasant
thoughts among our Devonshire lanes and
Lancashire streets. But then comes the
balance of accounts. With her gifts Of ma
ture, our English rustic must close her book
IN presence of her keen and natty American
sister. "

A HAPPY REJoINDER.- Oxford, some
twenty years ago, tutor of one of the col
leges limped in his walk. Stopping one day
last summer at a railway station, he was ac-
costed by well known politician, who rec
ognized him, and asked if he was not the
chaplain of the college at such time, ma
ming the year. The doctor replied that he
was. i was there, said his interrogator,
''and knew you by your limp "Well I"
said the doctor, 1T seems my Gmping made
deeper impression on you than my preach
ing. ''Ah DOCTOR" was the reply, with
ready wit, 1T is the highest compliment we
can pay a minister to say that he is known
by his walk rather than by his conversa-
ton. -

4 BAR TO CoUNTERFEITERs.- Mr. L. w.
Crane, who has paper mill near Ballston
Spa, has recently perfected an invention
that will interpose a bar to counterfeiting,
He has invented machinery whereby minute
threads of gutta percha can be run into
sheets Of bank note paper, in the course OF
its manufacture, that viii be indellible, and
that can not be counterfeited. His plan
contemplates making each denomination
differently. Thus one dollar bills have one
thread through each, two dollar bills two
threads, five dollars three threads, four
threads for tens, FIVE for twenties, six for
ffties, seven for one hundreds, and nine for
thousands.

THE Two VOICES. When Gutenberg,
the first, printer, was working in his cell in
the monastery of st. Aborsgot, he tells US
that he heard two voices address him. The
one bade him desist; told him the power his
invention would put in the hands of bad
men to propagate their wickedness; told him
how men would profane tfe art he had
created and how posterity would have cause
to curse the man who gave it to the world.
So impressed was Gutenberg with what he
heard that he took hammer, and broke to
pieces the types he had so laboriously put
together His Work of destruction was only
stayed by another voice, sweet and musical,
that fell on his ear, telling him to go on, and
to rejoice in his work; that all good might be
made the cause of evil, but that God would
bless the right in the end. So to all Of us
still come those voices that came to Gutten-
berg; the one calling us TO work while it is
called today-to try to leave this world bet
ter than e found it; and the other tempting
us to give over and take our ease-to leave
the plough in mid furrow, and to rest on
our oars when we should be pulling against
the stream.

AFTER THE BATTLE An official report
of the battle of Gettysburg states that
twentyseven thousand FIVE hundred and
thirty four guns were picked up on the field
after the engagement, twenty four thousand
of which were loaded. Of this number one
half had two loads each remaining unfred,
one quarter three loads, the remaining six
thousand had from two to ten loads piece.
Many were found having from two to six
bullets over one charge; in others the pow
der was placed above the ball, One gun
had six cartridges with paper untorn. In
one Springfield rife, thenty three separate
and distinct charges were found, while one
smooth bore musket contained twenty two
bullets and sixty buckshot rammed in pro-
miseuously- Star.

THE INDIANS BLANKET.

The delight of an Indian is a blanket.
Male and female, old and young, are sup
piled with this indispensable. They carry
it with them wherever they 60, using it for
a garment by day and for a bed by night
They do not, however, spread their blank
ct when they lie down, but first wrap it
carefully around them, and then lie down to
rest Among the less cultivated the blank
ct Is the only garment worn, with the ex-
cepti0ns of leggins and moccasIns which
are indispensable in travelling in the forests.
The mother makes an additional use of the
blanket she carries her child upon her
shoulders, but makes it answer at the same
time to protect herself from the cold and
storm She doubles her blanket and lays it
at the root of a tree, with the double edge
turned up about foot on the trunk Of the
tree then sitting the little pappoose up
right in it, she stoops with her back to the
child and gathers the blanket around her
On rising the babe s head only is exposed
back Of the mothers neck its little arms
resting upon her shoulders. BY drawing
the blanket tightly around her below the
child an easy case is formed, where it rests
for hours, sometimes for half day, as the
mother travels either on foot or on pony.
An Indian woman strides horse like man
and manages the widest animal with great
dexterity, holding the bride with one hand
and her blanket, containing her pappoose
with the other, her long black hair dangling
over her shoulders When an Indian ur-
chin arrives at the age to receive a blanket
he is as much delighted as little boy with
his first pair of trowsers, strutting about
with undisguised fooliuss uf manhness,
While the older ones look on the juvenile as
sumptions and audacity with manifest pleas
ure, grinning and uttering complacent words
and grunts

Thou dost oceularly roam
But look not down upon us
With haughty-proud disdain
Us here upon the lowlandsi
Us here upon the plain.
We know that we're beneath thee;

Thy smiles upon us rain;

We humbly bow before thee,
And worship at thy shrine
Oh! to our fond petitions
Wilt thou graciously incline?
For, with thy benign approval
Shall JOY with US obtain

We love thee, we adore thee
For thy many graces sweet,
And fain we'd gather pearls
And lay them at thy feet
Thou art lovely thou art beautiful
We regard thee without stain,

Thou art peerless! thou art perfect!
As we gaze upon the now,

From brightest orbs above,
And thy gentle heart so winsome,

Far from thy place Of birth
Forsook thy home celestial
To cheer the sons of earth
One smile from thee, sweet seraph,

Dwell forever on the mountain,
Fair lady-most divine,
And with overteeming hearts Of love
Our homage shall be thine,
And thy name and virtues ever
Shall be our proud refrain,
