''HOw | HATE TIE RAIN. Thus ex-
claimed little girl in our hearing last even
ing, as the big drops pattered or the window
pane, and she looked out almost sobbing at
her inability to enjoy promenade. 1t was
foolish thought of the child but many a
grown up person is just as foolish in their
wishes. They would rejoice to exclude
every cloud from their social horizon. They
then would be blest if they could be insured
continuous good fortune-no griefs, no mel
ancholy, no vicissitudes of condition All.
what great mistake They would die of
can'ai in month! The monotony of salts
faction would be uncomfortable. Our little
Affections are actually q relief. They enable
us to enjoy again that pleasure which, if
uninterrupted, would sicken Us to safety
and sorrow. Trouble and pam are the clouds
and the rain which give variety to our social
existence, aud fructify our social nature.
The world was not made for incossant light
or darkness, nor man for ineessant joy or
woe. Change is at ouce eur annoyance and

TRANSATLANTIC MOUNTAIN PEAKS
Professor Cunning delivered lecture in
Hartford, Connecticut, on the last glacial
period, during which he stated that he had
seen in Stamford, Vermont, mountain of
granite as peculiar as that of Superior, but
of different type. The crystals were foliated
Science can find that granite at home only
in Stamford The mountain is a truncated
cone The top has been clipped off. North
of the Mountain there was not a single
boulder of foliated granite. South of the
Mountain there were multitudes of such
boulders Perched on the very top of II oosac
Mountain the tourist may see a boulder,
about seventy feet in circumference, aud
fifteen feet high. If he looks at the boul-
der, then at the mountain, he will see that
the boulder has no kiDShip with the noun
tain The boulder is that same Stamford
granite-a Vermont carpet bagger ensconced
on one of the highest peaks of Massachu-
setts. The tourist may look south westward
over Deer6eld Valley thirteen hundred feet
deep, and see far in the distance the outlines
of Stamford mountain from whose top that
boulder was torn.

To Young Men.

1t is easier to be good business man than
apoor one. Half the energy displayed in
keeping ahead that is required to catch NJ
when behind will save credit, give more
time to business, and add to the profit and
reputation of your word Honor your en-
gagements. If you promise to meet man,
or do a certain thing at a certain moment,
be ready at tie appointed time. If you
have work to do, do it at once, cEleerfully,
and therefore more speedily and correctly
1T you go out on business, attend promptly
to the matter on hand, and then as prompt
ly go about your own business Do not
stop to tell stories in business hours.
Ii you have place of business, be found
there when wanted. No man can get rich
by sitting round stores and saloons. New
er fool on business matters If you have
to labor for living, remember that one
hour In the morning is better than two at
night. lfyou employ others, be on hand
to see that they attend to their duties,
and to direct with regularity, promptness
and iberaity. Do not meddle with any
business you know nothing of. Never buy
any article simply because the man that
sells it will take it out in trade. Trade is
money. Time is money. A good busi-
ness habit and reputation is always money
Make your place of business pleasant and
attractive; then stay there to wait on Gus
toners.
Never use quick words, or allow yourself
to make hasty or ungentlemanly remarks,
to those in your employ for to do so less
ems their respect for you and your infu-
ence over them. Help yourself. and others
Will help you. Be faithful over the inter-
ests conided to your keeping, and all in
good time your responsibilities will be in
creased. Do not be in too great haste to
get rich. Do not build until you have ar
ranged and laid good foundation. Do not
AS you hope to work for success-spend
time i'll idlenes. If your time issyour own.
business will suffer if you do. If it is Civ
en- to another for pay, it belongs to him, and
you have no more right to steal that than to
steal money. Be obliging. Strive to avoid
harsh words and personalities Do not
kick every stone in the path more miles
can be made in day by going steadily on
than by stopping TO kick. Pay as you 60.
A man of honor respects his word as he
does his bond. Ask. but never beg. HELP
others when you can, but never give when
you cannot afford to, simply because it is
fashionable. Learn to say no. No neces-
sity of swapping it out dog fashion, but say
it firmly and respectfully. Have but few
confdents, and the fewer the better Use
your own brains rather than those of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself. Be
vigilant. Keep ahead, rather than behind
the time.
Young men, cut this out; and if there is
folly in the argument, let us know.
