Mr.. Morgan was rich, and also a good
man. The people of the town respected him,
sent him to Parliament, and seldom UNDER
took h anything without asking his advice. II
scnoOl mouse was 10 De utiiIJ, plan IIau
to be talked over with him. Widow P
asked him what she should plant in her field,
farmer s. always got his advice in bu,ing
cattle, and Mrs. R consulted him about
bringing up her boys.
When asked how he was so successful. Mr.,
Morgan said: Il will tell you how il was.
One day, when l was lad, a party of bows
and sirls were going to distant pasture to
pick whortleberries. / wanted to go with
them, but was fearful that my father would
not let me. When 1 told him what was going
on, and he gave me permission to 60 with
them, could hardly contain myself Tor Joy,
and rushed into the kitchen and got a big
basket, and asked mother for a luncheon.
had the basket on my arm, and was just 60
ing out OF the back gate, when my father
called me back. He took hold of my hand,
and said, in very gentle voice: Joseph,
what are you going for, to pick berries or to
play% TO pick berries replied. Then,
Joseph, want to tell you one thing. 1t Is
this: When you find pretty good bush, do
not leave it to find better one The other
boys and girls will run about, picking little
here and little there, wasting great deal
of time, and not getting many berries. If
you do as they do, you will come home with
an empty basket. Ii you want berries, stick
TO your bush.'
81 went with the party. and we had a ean;-
tai time. But it was just as my father said.
No sooner had one found good bush than he
called all the rest, and they left their several
places and ran off to the new-found treasure.
Not content more than a minute or two In
one place. they rambed over the whole pas
ture, got very tired, and at night had but a
very few berries. My fathers words kept run
ming in my ears, and stuck to my bush. ,
When had done with one, found another,
and finished that; then l took another When
night came, had a large basketful of nice
berries, more than all the others put together,
and was not half so tired as they were.
| went home happy. But when entered
found my father had been taken i'll. He
looked at my basket iull of ripe, black berries,
and said, We'll done, Joseph. Was it rot
lust as told you? Always stick to your
BUSH"
HE died in a few days after, and l had to
make my way in the world as best l could.
But nv fathers words sunk deep into my
mind and 1 never forgot the experience of
the whortleberry party-I stuck to my bush.
When had a fair place, and was doing toler-
ably well, did not leave it and spend weeks
and months in finding one little better.-
When other young men said: "Come with
us, and we will make fortune in few
weeks" L shook my head and stuck to my
bush.' Presently my employers offered to take
me in business with them. l STAYED with the
house until the principals died, and then /
had every thing wanted. The habit OF stick
ing to my business led people to trust me, and
give me character. l owe all have and am
to this motto-Stick to your bush'." Moore's

will be greeted with unfeigned delight and
unless we greatly mistake, will speedily find
Its way into innumerable homes and families
where his memory is precious. The Bishop
has been dead nearly four years but the delay
in completing the book has been caused chief
ly by the failure to secure, as its author, some
competent friend who could devote the time
necessary 20 make the work a GO true delinea-
ton OF his noble character and his sanity life"
Ihe book is made up of selections from the
Bishops own pen, in the form of epistolatory
correspondence, sermons, journal, and diary

ted by those who have been associated with
him in the different portions and Iabors of his
life, or are written by her, who for twenty
years, held the closest relation to him, and was
best acquainted with his inner and hidden life.
Among those who have contributed to the ma
terials of the book, we find the names of the

| JOURNALISM
The snow here is getting mealier. The
condition of the streets, however, is not
amelior-ated. This last remark Is on the
authority of that hitherto severely staid and
digniied sheet, the Boston Adrertiser. Its
editorials are no less weighty but the locals
are growing sportive. Witness yesterdays
story of the thirsty theatre-goer who,
Tuesday evening attempted to drink from the
nozzle of fire-extiuguisher at the Athene-
um, supposing it to be an ice-water can; with
the sage suggestion that if an extinguisher
can put out a fire as quickly as it put out that
fellow its merits are not overstated. Or the
droll story of the belated swain who was
misled by the frozen fingers of the Adrer-
tiser's clock and lost his maid thereby for
ever. The second half century of this able
journal bids fair to be period of greatly en-
larged influence and success. The sprightly
little Neaos is printing daily some 6000 copies
and shows itself live newspaper.
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
The State Convention of Methodists has
just held session here and passed strong
resolutions in reference to the New York
BOOK Concern. So also, on education, it be-
ing stOutly affirmed that as 'bralns cost some
thing" Methodists must literally support
schools of theology. The Y. M. G. A. Fair
opens in the Music Hall tomorrow night.
AT the close of Mr. Beecher's lecture this
evening, the young folks enter, remove seats
and spend the whole night in making need
full arrangements. The festival continues
one week. No lotteries allowed.

A look at the counters of our booksellers
shows fine variety of volumes for the holi-
