thousand frst-rate places are open
for one thousand boys who can
come up to the standard. Each
boy can suit his taste as to the
kind Of business he would prefer.
The places are ready in every kind
of occupation. Many of them are
already filled by boys who lack
some OF the most important points
but they will soon be vacant. One
is in an Office not far from where
we write. The lad who has the
situation is losing his first point.
He likes to attend the circus and
the theater. This costs more mon
ey than he can afford, but some
how he manages to be there fire.
quantity. His employers are quiet
ly watching to learn how he gets
SO much extra money; they will
soon discover a leak in the money
drawer, detect the dishonest boy,
and his place will be ready for
some one who is now getting
ready for it by observing point
No. and being truthful in all his
ways. Some situations will soon
be vacant, because the boys have
been poisoned byreading bad books
such as they would not dare to
show to their fathers, and would
be ashamed to have their mother
see. The impure thoughts sug-
gested by these books will lead
to VICIOUS acts; the boys will be
ruined, and their places must be
filled. Who will be ready for one
Of these vacancies ? Distinguish
lawyers, useful ministers, skillful
physicians, successful merchants,
must all soon leave their places
for somebody else to I'll. One by
one they are removed by death.
Mind your ten points, boys; they
will prepare you to step into the
vacancies in the front rank
Every man who is worthy to en-
ploy a boy is looking for you, if
you have the points. Do not fear
that you will be overlooked. A
young person having these quail
ties will shine as plainly as a star
at night. We haved named ten
points that go toward making up
the character of a successful boy,
so that they can be easily remem-
bered. You can imagine one on
each finger, and so keep them in
mind they will be worth more
than diamond rings, and you will
then never be ashamed to "show

Labor.

No great man can be an idler.
The world is teeming with work
for us all, and no one can do that
which God has given another to
do We seek amusements to pass
away the time, when every hour
il crowded with human destinies,
and we have not one moment to
waste. The seconds of time are
the wool of eternity,-a moment
misspent, and there is a flaw in
the web.
We must work. Not all may
be reapers, not all cleaners; but
all may do something. Day after
day humanity is stretching out
her hands for help-poor erring
souls going down to ruin, because
men, and women, love self more
than God. You who lounge on
Injurious couches, who boast your
Hly-hands, tell me, what have
those hands ever done for others ?
The poorest day-laboer who walks
the streets, is greater than you.
Not all kings wear robes, or sit
on thrones, and he is far more
kingly and noble who earns his
bread by the sweat of his brow,
than he who wraps about him his
purple and fine linen, and boasts
his millions.
We hear so much of "gentle-
mem nowadays. What consti-
tutes a gentleman? Is it fine
brOadclOth, glossy beaver, immac-
ulate kids, and dainty cane? or
is it a true unselfiSh hearted and
soul rich with blessed deeds ?
Young women, to which would
you trust your happiness, your
life Better It royal soul than
royal rObes,-better hands that
labor has made brown, than those
that idIeness has made white.
The crown that earnest toll brings,
is better than kings cornet, and
labor for others sakeS better than
treasures of silver or gold. -
