graduate. 1he son retuf ned st Sbe end
of the Freshman year without q dollar
and with several ugly habits About
the close OF the vacation, The Judge said
to his son, well William, are you going

Have no money, father. nsdw zszs

Very well, my son, It was all I could
give yon. You can't stay here; You must
now pay your own way in the worl1. +"
A new light broke In upon the vision
of the astonished young man. He ac-
commodated himself to the situation;
left home. made his way to college,
graduated at the head Of his class,
studied law, became Governor Of the
State of New York, entered the Cabinet
of the President of the United States,
and has made record for himself that

81 want no more money! said gen.
tleman the other day, who had retired
from business, ON the application Of q
friend to join in what, promised to be q
profitable investment In answer to q
look of surprise he continued: have
three sons; gave them all q classical
education. One became q merchant,
another lawyer, a third Q physician,
L gave them all q fair start, and they
have come home to live on me. The
Doctor had no patients, the lawyer no
clients, and the merchant mo customers.
They say to me, Father, it's no use for
US to work; you have plenty, and we
Will have more than we can spend; why
should we be the slaves Of business?
Why, now, shouidI want more money?
What ] have has made my sons useless
the world. Had they been compelled,
as was, to start out in life on nsthing,
and paddle their own canoe, they might
have been credit to themselves and to
me, instead of being, as they, are now,
disgrace to my family name
The more thriftless child Is helped,
the more he looks for t., and the more
be has to be helped ever after. As it is
in the moral world, so it is in the phys
ical as pertaining to the health of our
bodies, and millions die tpfennasurely
from not recognizing this principle in
reference to bodily habits and functions.
Manly Temper. 20 itaoH
Horace Bushnell, in one of his essays,
gives the following forcible description
OF the man who has learned to compre-
hend and control his own weaknesses
and variations of mind. And what true
man has not done so? fETu EEE sol
Now q wise man is one who under
stands himself well enough to make due
allowance for such insane moods and
varieties, never concluding that thing
Is thus or thus because just now it bears
that look; waiting often to see what a
sleep or walk, or q cool revision, or per-
haps considerable turn of repentance
will do. He does not slash upon man
or subject, from the point Of a just now
rising temper. He maintnins q noble
candor, by waiting sometimes for q
gentler spirit, and better sense of truth.
He is never intolerant Of ether mems
judgments, because. he Is little dis
trustful of his own.g He restrains the
dislikes of prejudice, because he has q
prejudice against his dislikes. His re-
sentiments are softened by his condem-
nations of himself. His depressions do
not crush him, because he has sometimes

again. He revises his opinions readily,
because he has a right, he thinks, to
better opinions if he can find them
He holds fast sound opinions, lest his
in change should take all
ruth away. And if his insane think
ng appears to be topping him down the
gulf of skepticism, he RECEIVERS himself
)y just raising the question, whether q
more sane way of thinking might not
.hink. differently? A man whs is duly
aware thus of his own distempered
aculty, makes life how different from
,ne who acts as If he were infallfble,
md had nothing to do but just to- let
himself be pronounced.p ei gs--
