The HARDEST LESSON. -The hardest
lesson a human being can learn is that
of self-conquest. That once learnt, all
the rest is easy Perhaps. it is most diff :
cult for woman, for women are more
impulsive than men. 1t is terrible for
any one to. set aside all things else for
the sake Of duty to say this hope, this
joy, this thing that makes life beauti-
full stands i'll the way of what ought to
be first, and turn ones back upon it !;
but it can be done, and must be done
by every one at some time. One must
learn, also, the suppression of emo
lions which it is not wise to express.
If they cannot be killed, then bury
them alive, and say nothing. One al
most dies in the attempt, but the proud
est moment Of any life is, when it can
be said with truth, L can do what l
will with myself l have no habit L can
not in an instant break have not
thought; I cannot refuse expression [
can forbid myself to be angry, to seek
vengeance, to resent even uncalled
for insult and impertinence and can
not take even love, the strongest of all
human emotions, from my heart, and
strangle it, when to love would be eth
err wrong or foolish" The men who
drink to excess, the men who gamble,
and the women who die of love for some
people are incapable of self conquest
Think of that and learn to conquer
your heart, your mind and your appe-
tites. -....--

How n Man Got into the AImshouse.
A director in our city alnshouse tells
us the following short story of man,
once active and successful in business,
whom he, lately found in the aims
house. He was good looking man,
of gentlemanly manners, about seventy
years old. Being surprised to find the
man town pauper, he took occasion
to converse With him ane draw out the
story of his decline and fall to his pres
ent position. The old mans story was
in brief, that he got into the poorhouse
"by trying to economize and save
money" When he first began bust
ness in Boston he advertised freely,
and his business increased rapidly as Il
natural consequence. He soon sue
ceeded in establishing a good reputa-
tion as a man OF judgment and
enterprise, and became d well-to-do
merchant, and withal, was honored
with offices of real importance. Thus
the man continued to prosper until he
was Sc years old, when one day it en-
tered his wise head that it was high
time for him to begin to economize
and save money by stopping his adver-
Using expenses. So he stopped all his
advertising and ceased to read the
newspapers. Soon his business began
to fall off younger men pressed upon
him and got away his trade he fell be-
hind the times not keeping posted up
by newspapers he made bad investments
met with losses, failed, became discour-
aged, lived awhile on relatives and
friends, and finally to relieve them OF
the unwelcome burden of his support,
he took himself to the almshouse to
spend the remnant of his days among
paupers. And this was the way he
got into the poorhouse-by neglecting
to advertise his goods and read his
newspaper, under the fatal supposition
that he could thus econ&mize. And
as he finished his brief story, the poor
old man dropped his hoary HEAD be-
tween his withered hands, and wept
and sobbed like child. Boston Tray

A FAIR EXCHANGE. Under the reign
of the first caliphs, we are told, there
was merchant of Bagdad equally rich
and avaJicious One day he bargained
with porter to carry home for him a
large basket of porcelain vases for ten
paras. AS they went along, he said to
the man
"My friend, you are young and am
old You can still earn plenty. Strike
off, L entreat you, para from your
hire"
Willingly" replied the porter.
This request was repeated again and
again, when they reached the house,
the porter had only single para to
receive. AS they went up stairs the
merchant said: J-1-
Il you will resign the last para, l will
give you three pieces OF advice"
BE it so, said the porter.
"Well then" said the merchant, "if
any one tells you it is better to be fast
ing than feasting, do not believe him ;
if any one tells you it is better to be
poor than rich, do not believe him if
any one tells you it is better to walk
than to ride, do not believe him."
"My good sir" replied the aston
ished porter, " / knew these things be-
fore but if you will listen to me, I will
give such advice as you never heard. {"
The merchant turned round, and the
porter throwing the basket down the
staircase, said to him
eff any one tells you that one Of
your vases remains unbroken, do not
believe him. 4"
Before the miser could reply, the
porter made his escape.
