HORACE GREELEY.

Poverty IS a gloomy presence in any home,
even American poyerty,-and boy who
saw the household goods distrained by the
sheriff, end his father in fight from the
debtors prison, no doubt found the morn
ing of life dark enough; and even when her
time came fortune presented herself to
young Greeley masked and looking at the
best ike very hard favored virtue. When
his father was about toquit New England,
the printer apprentice walked over from
the town where he was learning his trade to
that where he was TO take leave of his fami-
ly In words which must go to the hearts
Of all those who have known what home
sickness is, and how very closely and tender
ly common endurance and hardship knit
parents and children together, he tells that
some Of his kindred urged him to 90 with
the rest, and not return to his place in the
printing-ofice. Il was sorely tempted to
comply he says, but it would have been
bad faith to do so. A word from my
mother, at the critical moment, might have
overcome my resolution; but she did not
speak it. After the parting was
over, and l well on my way, Twas strongly
tempted to return; and my walk back to
Poul;ney twelve miles, was one of the
slowest and saddest of my life
Nothing could have been very difficult af
ter this, aud there seems to have been no
other moment of the author life that asked
so great fortitude and resolution. 1t was
success; but life is an artful romancer, and
postpones its denOuements. There was a
vast deal to 90 through before the destined
greatness ofthe Tribune" could be accom-
plished. How the prentice became jour
neyman printer in Western New York and
in New York City,-then an editorial neces-
sity Of the politicians, employed and paid by
them, then the first independent and cour-
ageous journalist we have ever had, is pret-
ty well known to everybody; but everybody
may read 1t here with fresh pleasure, in that
light and circumstance which a man can best
give his own life. At every point the ca
reer is an interesting one, and in great part
it includes national history.
Thanks to the peculiar constitution of his
mind, which, while it lacks the qualities OF
originality or genius, is yet boldly tentative,
he has been identified or connected with
every social and political movement which
has promised to benefit or elevate mankind;
and be has something to tell US of them ALL
We think certain readers, who have learned
rather from his enemies than from himself
to regard him as a reckless innovator, will
be surprised to find him SO conservative as
be is Of all that really holds human society
together for good, marriage, the family,
religion, subordination. Monthly

When your husband returns at night let
him find the fire out, his tea and toast cold,
and you reading a novel
If he tells you his expenses are more than
his income, and proposes to move into a
smaller house, sit down and cry about it.
Tell him you always lived in larger house
before you were married
If at the end of few months he fails in
business dom make the best of his misfor-
tunes, or help him bear his troubles by Civ
ing your sympathy, but cry as though your
heart would break.
Hint occasionally before him how much
higher position you held in society before
than since your marriage.
If he has business to call him out iu the
evening, be sure to fret when he returns.
about his being out at night, and about his
disliking to be at home with his family.
Whine every time he comes into the
house about being tied at home Then ifhe
proposes to take you and the children out tc
ride, tell him you are half tired to death
and don't want TO ride.
Follow out these hints faithfully, and ir
return you will have as impatient and as
disconteuted husband as can be found,
and one who viii come home only at eating
and sleeping hours, and you may be thank
fuI to see him then.

ESIGHT.

At the age of seventy years a name hon
ored and revered on both continents writes
Il am now writing this with my eyes closed.
by the aid Of machine and even this at
some peril of blindness. My general health
is perfect, and | am able TO do as much
work as ever, without fatigue. My only
difficulty is with my eyes, and this is a seri
Gus and alarming one To have good
health and to be capable both as to mind
and to body of doing full work, and yet not
be allowed to do any, and this to have been
the case, more or less, for ten years past,
and to last for all this life to come, as it GER
tainly will, is terrible calamity; a clear loss
Of twenty years labor to the world. This
condition was induced By the person getting
up TO study and write at Tour o clock winter
and summer for a series of years. A benef
cent Providence has arranged that the
glare Of light shall come on very gradually
in the morning and that as gradually shall
it depart into darkness in the evening. The
painfulness of coming instantly into bright
light is familiar to ALL And yet after the
eyes have closed in the perfect darkness Of
sleep for seven or eight hours, to be instant
ly exposed to bright gas or other artificial
light, for early study is practieed by many;
and without knowing it very many students
thus prepare themselves for an early impair
ment Of sight, to say no hing of the bodily
suffering, of mental chatting and disquie'ude
and loss of time and money. There is no
gain, in the long run by using the eyes to
read or write after sundown or before
sunrise and breakfast; it may de done with
a measure of impunity in a few cases; but in
nine cases out often disaster will follow; in
no case is night study an economy of time,
nor is it a necessity as habitual thing.
Night is the time for rest, and both body
and brain, especially as to students, require
all the sleep the system viii take; they ought
never be walked up, nature viii infalibly dc

Day after day humanity is stretching out
her hands for help-pooF erring souls going
down to ruin, because men, and women,

on luxurious couches, who boast of your lily

done for others? The poorest day laborer
who walks the streets, is greater than you.

FEAR OF LIFE INSURANCE

The following dialogue between an insur-
ance agent and a well-to do Irishman is re-
lated;
Pat your making plenty of money; why
don't you insure your life.
''And what is that?'
why don't you take out policy Of in
surance on your life?"
Because | don't see the policy of it,
Shure must die, policy or no policy.
" on don't understand. If you insure
your life now, when you die the company
will pay your wife enough TO keep her and
your children from want and suffering,
And that would be insuring my life.

German tongues. fair knowledge Of math-
ematies pure and applied, an outline of the
ply steal sciences, and skill as a craftsman.
The writer of this article, still on the sunny
side Of forty, asserts that the average Of all
the time be has been able to devote to study
during his life has been considerably less
than two hours per day. Let any mechanic
at the age Of twenty consider how much ad-
vantage the above requirements would be to
him at the age of thirty, should he obtain
them, aud then 90 to work and get them.
The requisite books can be obtained for less
than many young man spends for cigars
during six months Twelve years since we
we're in a machine shop in the center Of New
York State, where We were having a model
constructed. The young man to whom the
foreman and proprietor had assigned the
work attracted our attention from some re-
marks which seemed to indicate a higher
cultivation than is usually met with in young
men occupying similar positions There
upon we set ourselves 10 draw him out.
We found him familiar with the higher
mathematics, an expert craftsman, and
thoroughly posted in natural philosophy and
the chemistry Of the metals. He had COM
menced French and German. All these
accomplishments we're the reward of even.
ing study, pursued steadily since the date
Of his apprenticeship, commenced at the
age of sixteen. This young man was at that
time just past twenty one, in apparently
perfect mental, moral, aud physical health.
He has since risen by successive steps to
foreman, and is now partner iu the same
establishment, man of wealth aud in

The essential character Of recreation is
that it transfers the strain from one part of
the vital machinery which needs rest to
another that does not, thus equalizing wear.
But the human system is not ike a lathe or
a steam engine, incapable of repairing itself
As soon as rest Is given to any part of it, if
healthy, 1t commences to repair itself. But
a condition Of perfect rest is that the mind
shall be wholly withdrawn from the con
sideration of fatigue, that toll should be
forgotten in the absorbing character of the
recreative occupation, What we ask, is
better calculated to accomplish this result
than a proper course fstudy2
We might name many other bright ex
amples which prove conclusiveIy that the
tendency Of physical labor is to clear the
mind and fit it for study, but we forbear.
Let no young man under ordinary circum-
stances excuse himself for ignorance of the
rudiments of knowledge It is as true of
this as of other things that where there is
a will there is always a way" In recent
article on selEeducation, we endeayored to
point out in brief manner a way 10 which
young men might, if disposed, do something
toward educating themselves, and we may
in the future return to the subject to show
that association viii prove in this, as in all
other relations of life, of great value if or
ganized upon a proper basis We may also

THE PRINTERS ESTATE.

A dollar here, and dollar there, scattered
all over the country, miles and miles apart

The paper maker, the grocer, the miller, the

him in carrying on his business, have their
demands, hardly ever so small as single

must be diligently gathered and patiently
boarded, or the wherewith to discharge the
liabilities viii never become sufficiently

ded, collect yourselves and come home Ye

prietor, gather such force, and demand, with
such good reasons, your appearance at his

will appease them. Collect yourselves, for

DIR. SPlcER says There is no fact more
clearly established in the physiology Of man
than this, that the brain expends its en-
ereies and Itself during the hours OF wake
fulness, and that these are recuperated du-
ring sleep; if the recuperation does not
equal the expenditure, the brain withers;
this is insanity. The practical differences
are these Those who think most, who do
most brain work require most sleep. 2.
That time saved from necessary sleep is IN
faIlibly destructive to mind, body and estate.
