READING ALOUD IN THE FAMILY
Books and periodicals should be angels
in every household. They are urns to
bring us the golden fruits of thought and
experience from other minds and ether
lands. AS the fruits Of tho trees of tho
earth's soil are most enjoyed around the
family board, so should those that grow
upon mental and moral boughs be gath
cred by the entire household. No homo
exercise could be more appropriate and
pleasing than for one member to read
aloud fof the benefit Of all. If parents
would introduce this exercise into their
families, they would soon sec the levity
and giddiness that make up the conyer-
sation of too many circles giving way to
refinement and dignity.

TO YOUNG MEN.

1t is easier to be good business man
than poor ore. Half the energy dis
PLAYED in keeping head that is rcquir-
ed to catch up when behind will save
credit, give moro :imc to business, and
add to the profit and reputation OF your
word. Honor your engagement. 1t
YOU promise to meet a man, or do GER
tain thing at certain moment, be ready
at the appointed time. If you have
work to do, do 1t at once, cheerfally,
and therefore more speedily and correct
ly. Ifyou go out on business, attend
promptly to the matter on hand, and
thcn as promptly so about your own
business. Do not stop to tell stories in
business hours. 30
If you have place of business, be
found there whom wanted. No man
can get rich by sitting around stores
and saloons. Never Stool" on business
matters. If you have to labor for YOU
living, remember that one hour in the
morning is better than two at night. II
you employ others, be on hand to see
that they attend to their duties, and to
direct with regularity, and liberality.-
Do not NEEDLE with any business you
know nothing of. Never buy a thing
simply because the man that sells it will
take it ont in trade. Trade is money.
Time is money. A good business habit
and reputation is always money. Mako
your place of business pleasant and at
tractivc, then stay there to wait on Gus
toners.
Never use quick words or allow your
self to make hasty or ungentlcmanly re-
marks to those in your employ, for to
do so lessons their respect for you and
your influence over them. Help your
self, and others will help you. BE faith
full over the interest confdcd to your
keeping, and all in good time your re-
sponsibilitics will be increased. DO not
be in two great haste to get rich. DO
not build until you have arranged and
laid a good foundation. Do not-as you
hope COR success pond time in idle
ness. If your timo is your own, Dust
ness will suffer II you do. ii IL Is given
to another for pay it belongs to him, and
you have no more right to steal 1t than
to steal money. BE obliging. Strive
to avoid harsh words and personalities
Do not kick every stone in tho path +;
more miles can be made in a day by
going steadily on than by stopping to
kick. Pay as you so. A man Of hon
or respects his word as he does his bofid'
Ask, but never beg. Help others when
you can, but mover give when you can
not afford to, simply because it is fash
ionabjc. Learn to say no. NO ncccsS'-
ty of swapping it out og-fashion, but
say it firmly and respectfully. Have
but few confidants, 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 II
there is folly in the argument, let US
know.

not think it has ever been in print -
Columbus SIN.
Mr. Bacon, of Edscfeld, S. c., tho
hero of tho Georgia Scenes, under tho
name Of Ned Brace, was once counting
a lady either in Georgia or Carolina
She had refused him frequently, and ho
as often renewed his suit. At one in
tesview size became exceedingly annoy
ed at his Importantly, and told him She
could not marry him, that their tastes,
opinions, likes and dislikes were totally
different; lin fact said she, Mr.. Ba-
con, don't think there is ono subject on
earth upon which we agree" asl
Il assure you, Madam, that you are
mistaken,' said Mr.. Bacon, i can prove
it,
IF tou will mention ono thing about

WELL said Mr.. Bacon, Il will do it.
Suppose now, you and were travelling
together, we arrive at night at hotel,
and there arc only two beds vacant, in
one there is a man and in the other a
woman, which bed would you select to-
sleep in 2 01

A STRANGE ACCUMULATION.
Thomas Dick puts the boarding of

Thomas Dick puts the boarding OF
wealth in this striking way:
Suppose a man could lay up stock
of clothes and provisions sufficient to
last him for 800 years what would it
avail him since he can live at most but
from Toto 100 years suppose he laid
laid up in store house ~, 900 pair Of
shoes to what end would it serve if he
could make use during his whole life,
only the hundrcdth part of thcmY He
would he in the same condition at man
who had hundred dishes before him for
dinner, but could only take one or of a
person who had a hundred mansions pui-
chased for his residence, but who could
only occupy one. How ridiculousitwould
appear if all that could be said of man
while he lived was simply tkis-that his
whole life was occupied in collecting and
laying up in store house 60, 600 mahog-
ony chairs which were never intended to
be used for furniture of apartments,
or 10000 pair of trowscrs which were
never intended to be worn 7 And where
is the difference in point of nationality and
utility between such absurd practices, and
boarding thousands of guineas and bank
notes which are never brought ont for the
benefit of mankind There is no con
duct connected with the pursuits ofhuman
beings that appears more absurd and
wicked than such practice however com
mon,) if examined by the dictates ofrca-
son and the word of God.
