PITHY SERMON TO YOUNG MEN

You are the architects of your own for
tunes. Rely upon your own strength of
body aud soul. Take for your motto, Self
Reliance, Honesty, and Industry. For your
star, Faith, Perseverance, and Pluck, and
inscribc on your banner, "Be Just and fear
not. Dom take too much advice; keep at
the helm, and steer your own ship. Think
well of yourself Strike out. Fire above
the mark you intend to hit. Assume your
position. Do not practice excessive humili-
ty; you can t get above your level. Water
don run up hill; put potatoes in cart over
a rough road, and small potatoes will so to
the. bottom. Energy, Inyincible Deter
mination, with right motive, are the levers
that move the world. The great art of
commanding is to take a fair share Of the
work. CiyiIity costs nothing and buys every
thing. Don drink Don't smoke. Don t
chew Don't swear. Don't gamble. Don't
lie Don't steal. Don't deceive. Don't
tattlc Be polite. Begencrous. Be kind.
Study hard BE in earnest. Be selfreli
ant, Read good books. Love your fellow
men, as well as God. Love your country,
and obey the laws Love truth Love yir-
tue. Always do what your conscience tells
you to be duty, and leave the consequence
with God.-H g. Eastman.

INITIATIVE POWERS OF THE
CHINESE.

1t is generally supposed that the Chinese
will not learn anything; but no people are
more ready to learn if it is likely to be at
tended with advantage. They have lately
been taught to make glass, and turn out
bronze argand lamps and globes, emblazon-
ed with the London maker name, all com
plete, and actually export these lamps to
Batavia. They like putting an English
name on their commodities, and are as free
with the word "patent" as any manufactu-
rer in Germany They excel in the manu-
facture of locks, particularly padlocks One
of my friends gave an order to a tradesman
to varnish box, furnished with a Chubb 5
lock, of which he had two keys, and one of
which he sent with the box, retaining the
other himself When the box came back,
he found that his key would not turn the
lock, though the one he had given the
tradesman acted very well. Thinking some
trick had been played, he accused the man
of having changed the lock; and, after some
evasion, he acknowledged the fact, stating
that on examination he had found it such
an excellent one that he took it off and kept
it, making another exactly like it, with ma
ker's name, and everything complete, ex-
cept that the original key would not open
it. Their mechanical contrivances generally
have some defect of this kind. They have
never made watch that would keep time,
though they greatly prize watches, and usu-
ally carry two at a time. "A SEetcher'S

STRIKE THE KNOT. Strike the knot"
said a gentleman one day to his son, who,
tired and weary, was leaning on his axe over
log which he had in vain been trying to
clea7e. Then, looking at the log, the gen.
tleman saw how the boy had hacked and
Clipped all around the knot without hitting
it, Taking the axe. he struck a few sharp
blows on the knot and split the log without
difficulty. Smiling, he returned the axe to
his son, saying:
Always strike the knot -
That was good advice It's good for you,
my children, as it was for the boy to whom
it was first given. 1t is a capital maxim to
follow when you are in trouble. Have you
hard sum to do at school? Have you got
to face a difficulty? Are you leaving home
to live for the first time among strangers?
Strike the knot! Look your trouble in the
eye, as the bold lion-hunter looks in the face
of lion. Never shrink from a painful
duty, but step right up to it and do it. Yes,
strike the knot Strike the knot, boys and
girls, and you will always conquer YOUR diff
fculties Sunday School Adrocate.

IN MEMORIAM.

On the bosom of the river
Where the sun unloosed his quiver,
On the starlit stream forever,
Sailed a vessel light and free.
Morning dew-drops hung like mama
On the bright folds of her banner,
While the zephyrs rose to fan
Softly to the adiant sea.
At her prov pilot beaming
In the flush of youth stood dreaming,
And he was in glorions seeming
Like an angel from above;
Through his hair the breezes sported,
And as on the wave he treated
Oft the pilot angel throated,
Warbled lays of hope and love.
Through those locks so brightly flowing,
Buds of laurel bloom were blowing,
And his hands anon were throwing
Music from Tyre of gold.
Swiftly down the stream he glided,
Soft the purple wave divided,
And a rainbow arch abided,
On his canvas snowy fold.
Anxious hearts with fond devotion,
Watched him sailing to the ocean,
Prayed that no wild commOtion
Midst the elements might rise.
And he seemed some young Apollo,
Charming summer winds to follow,
While the water -crags' corolla
Trembled to his music sighs.
But those purple waves enchanted,
Rolled beside a city haunted
BY an awful spell, that daunted
Every conner to her shore.
Night shades rank the air encountered,
And pale marble statues numbered
Where the lotus-e eaters sIumbered,
Awake to life no more.
Then there rushed with lit ming quicknes,
Der his face a mortal sickness,
And the dews in fearful thickness
Gathered DER his temples fair,
And there swept a dying murmur
Through the lovely Southern summer,
AS the beauteous pilot comer
Perished by that city there.
Still rolls on that radiant river,
And the sun unbinds his quiyer
Der the starlit streams forever
On its bosom as before.
But that vessels rainbow banner
Greets no more the gay savanna
And that pilots lutte drops mama
On the purple waves no more.

HOW OUR ANCESTORS LIVED.

The improvement in social comfort and
refinement over past ages is strictly shown
in the following paragraph:
Erasmus, who visited England in the
early part of the sixteenth century, gives a
curious description of an English interior Of
the better class. The furniture was rough,
the walls unplastercd, but sometimes vain
scotted or hung with tapestry, and the floor
covered with rushcs, which were not chang
ed for months The dogs and cats had free
access to the eating rooms, and the frag
ments of meat and bones were thrown to
them, which they devoured al lng the rush
es, leaving what they could not eat tn rot
there, with the draining of beer-vessels and
all manner of unmentionable denominations.
There was nothing like refinement or ee-
gance in the luxury of the higher ranks; the
indulgences which their wealth permitted,
consisted in rough and waSteful prOfusion.
Salt beef and strong ale constituted the
principal part Of Queen Elizabeth s break
fast, and similar refreshments were served
to her in bed for supper. At a series of en-
tertainmcnts given by the nobility in 1869,
where each exhausted his invention to out
do the others, it was universally admitted
that Lord Goring won the palm for the mag
nifcence of his fancy. The description Of
this supper will give us an idea of what was
then thought magnificent 1t consisted of
one huge, brawny pig, piping hot, bitted
and harnessed, with ropes Of sausages, to a
huge pudding bag, which served for a
chariot

REGULARITY OF SCOTTISH IDIOM.- -
There is A well known case of mystitication,
caused to English ears by the use of Scott
ish terms, which took place in the House of
Peers during the examination of the magis-
tratcs of Edinburg, touching the particulars
of the Portcous Mob in 1876. The Duke of
Newcastle having asked the Provost with
what kind ofshot the town guard, comman-
dcd by Portcous, had loaded their muskets
received the unexpected reply, "Ou, juist
sic as anc shutes dukes and sic-lke fools
wi -" The answered was considered as a
contempt of the House of Lords, and the
poor Provost would have suffered from mis-
conception of his patois, had not the Duke
of Argyle who must have been exceedingly
amused, explained that the worthy chief
magistrate expression, when rendered into
English, meant to describe the shot used
referred to is by Sir Walter Scott, in the
notes to the Heart of Midlothian.

THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WoRLD.-A
London Journal, the Cosmopolitan, says:
''The young Lord Belgrave, grandson of
the Marquis of Westminster, if he lives to
inherit his patrimony, will be the richest
man in the world. When what is now the
fashionable section of London, known as
Belgravia, was but a sheep farm, the first
Marquis was leasing lots at ninety-nine
years. By the time the heir to the West
minister estates attains his majority, all
these leases will lapse, thereby adding an al
most incompatible amount of ground rent
to the estate The present income of the
property IS said to be 81 900 day; ten
years hence it will be ten or twenty times
this amount The present Marquis of
Westminster is about seventy two years OF
age. His eldest sop, the Earl Of Grosvenor
is about forty-seven, and his eldest son, the
young Lord Belgrave, is about thirteen.
By intermarriage this colossal fortune has
not only been kept in the l>rnily, hut multi
Piled in arithmetical ratio. The Marquis
of Westminster married the Lady Elizabeth
Mary Leveson Cover, second daughter of
the first Duke of Sutherland. Earl Grosve-
nor married Lady Constance Leveson Cow
cr, daughter of the second Duke of Suther-
land Rich as these people are, we do not
suppose that either the Grosvenor sons or
daughters will be likely to marry for love, -
unless there is plenty Of wealth to back 1t.

\ MEMBER of the Society Of Friends,
(they will be naughty, like the world poo-
pie, once in a while,l feeling in need Of re
taxation, thought he would be cxcusablc in
transgressing, ''just once, the rules of the
Society; so he went to one of the theatres
where the spectacular drama was on view
one where the lady performers dressed as
low down and high up as is customary in
the legular drama now a. days. The Friend
was delighted with the pedal exhibition.
1t reappeared to him in his sleep. He
thought about it nextmorning on the way to
meeting; became drowsy-fell asleep.
Something occurred to wakcn him suddenly.
Starting up and rubbing his eyes, he ex-
claimed:
"Hats off down in front!
The brethren being accustomed when in
meeting to sit with hats on, needed not the
unorthOdox imitation. Friend Hicks did
not feel moved to explain.
