What are the parties now contending in
the North German Confederation ? Par
ties spring from certain political situa-
ton, and last as long as that situation is
unaltered, but when it is modified, the
parties dissolve themselves to assume new
forms, in harmony with new principles.
An illustration of this we have witnessed
in Germany. As long as the King of
Prussia would not recognize the constitu-
tional right of the Assembly to vote the
military budget, the opposition party was
formidable. At each dissolution it was
constantly growing stronger, and Mr.. Won
Bismarck's partisans were reduced to a
very small minority. But as soon as
William /. evinced an intention of becom-
ing what his brother had vainly promised
to be-" the German KingD-then, as
everybody wanted Unity, almost all his
ancient adversaries rallied around him.
The reconciliation was sealed by the pass
age of bill of indemnity which Mr.. Won
Bismarck condescended to ask from the
Assembly after the battle of Sadowa. At

without her consent. The attempt to es-
tablish despotism has always ended fatally
for those implicated in it. In England,
Charles 1. paid for it with his life, and
James H., with the loss of his throne
while in France it has been the cause of
the ruin of two dynasties.

BEGINNING THE WoRLD.-Many
an unwise parent labors hard and
lives sparingly for life, for the pur-
pose of giving his children a start
in the world, as it is called. Set
ting young man afioat with mon
ey left him by his relatives, is
like tying bladders under the
arms of one who cannot swim; ten
chances to one he will lose his
bladders and go to the bottom.
Teach him to swim and he will
never need the bladders. Give
your child a sound education, and
you have done enough for him.
See to it that his morals are pure
and his mind cultivated, and his
whole nature subservient to the
laws which govern men, and you
have given him what will be of
more value than the wealth of the
Indies.
To be thrown upon ones re-
sources is to be cast into the very
lap of fortune, for our faculties
then undergo a development, and
display an energy, of which they
were previously unsusceptible.-

REMEDY FOR RUST IN WHEAT.

REMEDY FOR RUST IN WHEAT.
The following, from a distin-
guished German agriculturist. is
taken from a Bremen paper:
For thirty years 1 have found
this method successful in prevent
ing rust in wheat: Some hours,
at the longest six or eight, before
sowing, prepare steep Of three
measures of powdered quicklime,
and ten measures of cattle urine.
Pour two quarts of this upon a
peck of wheat, and stir with a
spade till every kernel is covered
white with it. By using wheat so
prepared, rust of every kind will
be avoided and / have noticed
that while in the neighboring
fields, a great part of the crop is
affected by rust, in mine, lying
closely by it, not single ear so
affected could be found.
The same writer says he takes
the sheaves and beats off the
ripest kernels with a stick and
uses the grain thus obtained for
seed.

Why She Never Smiled.

She never smiles-no happy thought
Lights up her pensive eye;
The merry laugh from lip to lip
Passes UNDECIDED by.
Frozen forever in her heart
The sparkling font of gladness
And Ger her pours in rapid food
The ebon wave of sadness.
She never smiles--has frowning Grief,
With his stern magic bound her?

To cast his letters round herr
Has one so young the lesson learnt
That love is oft betrayed

A VERY GREAT MIsTAKE.-A young man
can hardly make greater mistake than to
place himself i'll antagonism to his employ
er's business. by the too common error of
trying how little service he may render for
the pay he receives. The matter of remun-
Grafton should have nothing whatever to do
with the fidelity and efficiency of the seryi-
ces rendered. 1t is fatal error to presume
that it is the policy of an employer to get
the most he can out of clerk for the small
est pay. There is no intelligent employer
who does not know and act upon the
knowledge that money is of very little con-
sequence in comparison with integrity and
ability and young man who does his
whole duty in these essentials cannot fail
to draw upon himself the attention and
confidence of his employer. When these
are secured the other desirable thing must
follow
We would advise no young man to be un-
mindful of his own present interests, or to
submit to indgnities or injustice of any
kind but We feel constrained to say that,
in nine cases out of ten, where clerks imag-
inc they are not appreciated, or are unpaid,
or overworked, and from any such case,
undertake to mend matters by making per-
emptory demands, they are in the wrong,
and if they fail they only meet their just
deserts.
A little patience, a good deal of perseyer-
ance, and an undertaking fidelity to the
best interests of an employer, are more po-
tent in securing advancement in position
and pay than any other kind of self asser-
ton.
These remarks will apply with equal
