Getting on in the World.

There are many different ways
of getting on in the world; it does
not always mean making a great
deal of money, or being a great
man for the people to look up to
with wonder. Leaving off . bad
habit for a good one, is getting on
in the world; to be careful and
saving, instead Of thoughtless and
watchful, is getting on; to be ac-o
tive and industrious, instead Of
idle and lazy, is getting on; to be
kind and forbearing, instead of
lll-natured and quarrelsome, is
getting on; to work as diligently
in the masters absence as in his
presence, is getting on; in short,
when we see any one properly at
tending to his duties, persevering
through such difficulties to gain
tsuch knowledge as shall be of use
to himself and others, and offering
a good example to his relatives
and acquaintances, we may be-
sure that he is getting on in the
world. Money is a very useful
article in its way, but it is pos
sible to get on with small means,
for it is a mistake to suppose that
we must wait for good deal of,
money before we can do anything.
Perseverance, is often better than
afull purse, There are more helps
toward getting on than is gener.
ally supposed; many people lag
behind or miss the way altogether,
because they do not see the album
dant and simple means which sur.
round, them at 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 q stock of pa.
tience, of hopeful confidence, d
willingness to learn, and a dispo-
sition not easily cast down by.

DETERMINED AND INGENIoUs.-A
Frenchman, prisoner in Edinburg,
having managed to escape, took refuge
in the powder magazine. When the
authorities wished to seize him, thew
found him sitting on barrel with q
lighted match, and threatening to
blow up the town. The authorities
reflected prudently, and the result of
their deliberations was, that it would
be better to starve the Frenchman
out. But they reckoned without their
prisoner, who loved good cheer, and
was determined to live we'll. In con-
sequence, he called out that he would
