4 Pithy Sermon to Young Men.

You are the architects of your own for
tunes. Rely upon your own strength of
body and soul. Take for your motto, self
reliance, honesty and industry; for your
star, faith, perseverance and pluck, and
lnscribe on your banner, ''bc just, and
fear not Don't take too much advice.
keep at the helm and steer your own
ship. Strike out. Think well of your
self. Fire above the mark you intend to
hit. Assume your position. Don tprac-
else excessive humility; You cannot get
above your level-water don run up hill
put potatoes in a cart over rough road
and the small ones will go the bottom.
Energy, invincible determination, with a
right motive, are the levers that rule the
world The great art Of commanding is
to take fair share of the work. Civiiy
costs nothing and buys everything. Don t
drink don't smoke don tswear; dom
gamble don't deceive don tattle. Be
polite; be generous; be kind. Study
hard; play hard. BE in earnest; be self
reliant Read good books. Love your
fellow man as your God love your coun-
try and obey the laws; love truth; love
virtue. Always do what your conscience
tellsyou to be duty, and leave the con-
sequence with God.

A keen, earnest Quaker says: Il
once crossed the mountains of Pennsyl-
vania in stage Three or four of US be-
came engaged in an earnest conversation
on the temperance question. One pas
scnger did not join with US. He was
coarse and burly in appearance. but was
well dressed. lie was restless and uneasy,
and after shifting and twisting for a
time, he could endure it no longer As
Stunning a maeisterial air, and command
ing tone, he thus delivered himself: Gen
tlemen | wish you to understand that
am a liquor seller But | would have you
know that keep 4 respectable house. |
Ion t sell to drunkartls, uor allow lnafcrs
20 lounge abont my premises. | sell to
'espcctab!c people, and to no others ;"
Sud the Quaker in reply: Friend,
that is the most damning part Of thy
business. If thou woali st sell only to
drunkards and loafers, and thus help to
kill off che race, we would soon reach an
end Bat you take the unfallen and un-
susspecting, and make drunkalds ofthem.
And when their character and money are
gone, you kick them out and hand them
overto the lowe groggeries. &C. II.

ty feet From this the Professor inferr
ed, that the species which it represent.
has degenerated. The verify of his position
he rather singulary endeavored to en-
force Oy an allusIon TO the well known ex
l>tince Of gian:s folden times. The fol
lowing list Is the data ON which this SIN
gular hypothesis is based: - H ae
The giant exhibited at Rouen, IN 1880,
the professor says, measured nearly Is
feet
Gorapius saw girl that was 20 feet
high
c The giant Galabra, brought from Ara
bia to Rome, under Claudlus Caesar was
40 feet high
Fannum who lived in the time of Eu-
gene Ill, measured Il feet.
The Cnevalier Scrog, III his voyage to
the Peak Of Ieuerlde, found III one II the
caverns of that mountain the head OF
Gunlch, who had % teeth, aud was nos
less than Is feet high.
es The giant Farrugus, slain by Orlando,
nephew OF Charlemagne, WAS Is feet
high.
La 1914, near St. Germain, was found
tne tomb or the giant Isofent, VINO WAS
not less than 80 feet high.
In 159 near kouen, was found skele-
ton whose skull held a bushel of corn,
and whose body must have been Is feet
high.
The giant Bacart was % feet high
his thigh bones were found In 1893, near
the river Moderi.
In 1928, near the castle in Baurhine,
a tomb was found 80 feet long, 50 wide,
and high, on which was cut, on gray
stone, these words - keutoloehus Rex.
The Skeleton was found entlre-257 feet
long, 10 feet aross the shoulders, and 5
feet from the breast bone to the back.
Near Palermo, in Sicily, 1916, was
found the skeleton of u giant 80 feet
high, and Cin 1000, another, 50 feet
long.
We have no doubt that there were
"giants in those days" and the past,
perhaps, Is more prolific III producing
them than than the present. Bat tuen

SPoTs IN THE SUN.-Dr. Nichols Of
the Boston Journal Of Commerce, is in
cined to believe that the cool tempera-
ture of the summer past Is due to the
presence of spots in the san. During
June and August, unusual y large spots
are represented as being yis.b bic on that
luminary. and both these months were
cooler than the average. What Is the
nature of the spots or dark patches on
the sun, even scientific men are In corr
plete ignorance but they are known to
be of immense area Scientific men as
sert that during certain years the whole
equatorial region Of the sun has been
crowded with these spots, several OF them
covering the space of two or three times
the diameter of The earth and it is quite
reasonable to suppose that they sensiblv
| diminish the amount of heat ravt comm q
| from the sun to The earth. Secchi the
Italian astronomer, has carefully stu lied
these spots. and thinks he has discovered
at least this much about them, that their
variation is confined to period which is
all but trennial. If this is so, law NAV
yet be discovered which will enable US to
foretell these spots and the variations in
in temperature which they occasion, in
| we oannot explain them.
