mer recited some scraps of poetry which
she had learned when only twelve or

LEAP YEAR BALLs.-Some OF the a
risgeable bachelors Of Virginia were

ty, can be seen on our fourth page.
OK RuySERs.-The California stages
via the Bonner Lake route still go and
come on runners between Virginia and
the White House, on the Geiger Grade,
some six miles. At the present rate OF
melting, however, this short stretch OF
sleighing will not last very many days
longer. Between Crystal Peak and
Cisco the sleighing continues in first
rate order. f.,

GETTING ON IN THE worLp

There are many different ways of get
ting on in the world it does not always
mean making great deal of money, or
being great man for the people to look
to with wonder. Leaving off a bad
habit for good one, is getting on in the
world; to be careful and saving, instead
of thoughtless and wasteful, is get
ting on; to be active and Industrious,
instead of idle and lazy, is getting on !;
to be kind and forbearing, instead OF III
natured and quarrelsome, is getting or, F;
to work as diligently in the masters abb
sence as in his presence, is getting on;
in short, when we see any one properly
attending to his duties, perscvering
through much difficulty to gain such
knowledge as shall be Of use 10 himself
and others, and Offering GOA example
to his relatives and acquaintanees, we
may be sure he is getting on in the
world. Money is very useful article
in its way, bnt it is possible TO get on
with small means, for it is mistake to
suppose that we must wait for a good
deal of money before we can do any
thing. Perseverance, is often better
than full purse. There are more helps
towards getting on than is generally
supposed; many people lag behind or
miss the way altogether, because they
do not see the abundant and simple
means which surround them on all sides,
and so it happens that there are aids
which cannot be bought with money
Those who wish to get on in the world
must have n stock of patience, of bope-
ful confidence, willingness to learn,
and disposition not easily cast down
by difficulties and disappointment.

"A DILEMMA
