A WORD FOR BOYS.


Truth is one of the rarest gems
Many youth has bccnslost to society
by allowing it to tarnislr and foolishly
throwing it away. If this gcm still shines
in your bosom suffer nothing to displace
or dim its lnstre.
Profanity is mark Of low breeding
show US .leo man who commands the best
respect; ar oath never trembles on his
tongue. Read the catalogue of crime.
INQUIRE the character of those who de-
part from virtue. Without single ex-
ception, you will find them to be pro-
fame. Think of this, and not let vile
word disgrace you.
Honesty, frankness, generosity, vir-
tue-blessod traits BE those yours, my
boys, and we shall not fear. You will
claim the respect and love of all. You
are watched by your elders. Men who
are looking for clerks and apprentices,
have their eyes on you. If you are pro-
fame, vulgar, theatre going, they will not
choose you. If you are upright, steady
and Industrious, before long you will find
good places, kind masters, and the pros
pect of a useful life before you.-Er-
change.

cuRRAN AND THE WITNESS.

Curran is said to have received a call
before he left his bed one morning, from
a gentleman whom he had cross -examin-
ed with needless cruelty and unjustifia-
BILE insolence on the previous day
'Sirp said this irate man, presenting him
self in Curran's bed room, and rousing
the barristcr from slumbcr to q con-
seriousness that he was in a very awk-
ward position, IL am the gintleman
whom you insulted yesterday in His
Majesty's court ofjusticc, in the pres
ence of the whole county, and | am here
to thrash you soundly" Thus speak
ing, the Herculean intruder waved
horscwhip over the redundant lawyer.
"You don't mean to strike man when
he is lying DOWN." inquired Carran.--
"No, bedad; III just wait till you've
got out of bed, and then I'll give it to
you sharp and fast" Curran's eye
.twinkIed mischcviously as he rejoined:
"If that's the case, by - III lie here
all day." So tickled was the visitor
with this humorous announcement, that
he dropped his horsewhip, and dismiss
ing anger with hearty roar of laughter,
asked the counsellor to shake hands
with him.--Bcnch and Bar.

An Italian Bishop; who had struggled
through maby difficulties without repi-
ming, and been much opposed without
inanifesting impatience, being asked by
a friend to communicate the secret of
his always being happy, FepIied ut

in surprise, begged him to explain the
meaning. s'Most willingly" replied
the Bishops. Gin whatsoever state / an,

and call to mind how small space l

in all respects less happy than myself.
And thus learn where true happiness
is placed, where all my cares must end,
and how little reason | ever had to muir
muir, or to be otherwise than thankful.
And to live in this spirit is to be always

LOVE-.

A complaint of the heart, growing
out of an inordinate longing after some
thing difficult to obtain. Itattacks per-
sons of both sexes, generally between the
ages of fourteen and thirty; some have
been known to have it at the age of six
ty.
Symptoms-Abscnce of mind; Civ
ing things wrong names; calling tears
nectars, and signs zephyrs; gazing on
the moon and stars; toothache; bleed-
ing at the nose loss of appetite; neg
lect of business; loathing of all things
save one blood-shot eyes and a con-
slant desire to sigh.
Efects-A strong headache; pulse
high; stupidity eloquent eyes; sleep
lessness, and all that sort of thing. At
times the Imagination bright, bowers Of
roses; winged cupids, ard buttered peas,
and then, again, oceans of despair,
racks, fortunes ard hair triggered pis-
tolls.
Cure-Get married. If THAT don't
cure you it will at least open your eyes.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Every good act is flower which will
bcautify our final home.
If man is in trouble, help him out.
Do not help him in.
People seldom blundcr on success, as
blind pig falls into well.
Don't make fool of yourself by lay
ing out work you can't do.
Some men, by action, can sweep out
a life of honor and happiness.
If any one has stumbled and fallen,
help him ur gently, and pass on, before
a crowd gathers.
The river that looked so beautiful an
hour since, is still to be seen; but it is
nowa- the river of death
Tt is not your province to harness IN
to quarrels net your own, lest in time
YOU have so many on hand there will be
ID time to attend to them.
