A WORD TO YOUNG MEN.

Some body once said, "our govern
inent land cost one dollar and quarter an
acre, and good whiskey two dollars bot
tie. How many men die landlcss, who
during their lives swallowed whole
townships-trees and all /" There is
food for reflection in this little para
graph. Every day of our lives, and
almost, every hour, IF each day. we
meet individuals not merely lanaless,
but houscless, homeless, and pennyless,
who in course of their lives have swal-
lowed ardent spirit enough to pay for
land and house, and have pennies and
dollars for their pockets besides, But
it is not tho drinker of ardent spirits
alone who thus deprives himself of the
comforts of home--the tobacco-chcw-
or, the cigar-smoker, the young man
who spends precious hours of each day
and evening in worse than listless idle
ness. How rarely such persons reflect
upon the folly of their course. The
young man who smokes three fivc-cent
cigars day-and many of them double
the quantity at double the pricc-puffs
away enough in the course of ten years
to give him handsome start in business,
or to provide for himself and family q
comfortable homo. How frequently we
hear such persons complain of their ina
bility to take newspaper, or literary
magazine, or purchase an interesting
book. They will tell you they are too
poor for that, and yet the next moment
will spend for glass of ale or brandy, or
for cigar, sum sufficient to pay for
two daily papers for a week. And this
folly is repeated perhaps half a dozen
times in the course Of every twcnty-four
hours. Young men, give this subject a
moments reflection. Sit down and
calmly think it over, and if, when you
have fairly done so, you conclude that
it is better to drink and smoke, go on !
The day will come when you will discov-
err your error, and that discovery will DC
made when it will be perhaps too late =

BELIEVE TIE BEST.

He who thinks better of his ncighbors
than they deserve, can not be bad man,
for the standard by which his judgment
is formed is the goodness of his own
heart. 1t is the base only who believe
all men base, or, in other words, like
themselves. Few persons, however,
are altogether evil. Even Nero did a
good turn to somebody-for WHOM
Rome was rejoicing over his death, some
loving hand covered his grave with
flowers. Public men arc seldom or never
fairly judged, at least while living
However pure, they cannot escape CAL
jimmy; however incorrect, they are surc
to find eulogists. History may do them
justice, but they rarely get it while liy-
ing, either from friend or foe.

THE LAD WHO HAD A PURPOSE IN

Every day furnishes some new instance
of the wonderful things which have re-
suited from earnest application to one
thing at time by boys. The "Life and
Letters of Farraday" have lately been
published, and no one who reads the
book leaves off without feeling what a
good thing it is when a lad has purpose
before him and settled love for one
special thing. Faraday began life as an
GRAND boy at booksellers shop in Lon
don, and had to take out the newspapers
to customers. In his spare time, instead
of playing at eggs-in-a- bush by himself,
he would take down a book and read
"When an apprentice" he's Il loved
to read tho scientific books which were
under my hands, and amongst them Mar
Gets Conversations in Chemistry and
the electrical trcatses in tho 'Encyclo-
pedia Britannica | made such simple
experiments in chemistry as could be de-
frayed in thcir expense for few pence
per week, and also constructed an cleo
tricaI machine, first with glass phial,
and afterwards with real cylinder, as
we'll as other electrical apparatus of a
corresponding kind" He told friend
that Watts con the Mind" first made
him think, and that his attention vas
turned to science by the article 'Elec-
tricity" an encyclopedia he was en-
ploycd to bind. And so, by steady in
dustry and the right use of his wits, the
newspaper boy rose higher and higher,
until he received, "unsought, almost
every honor which every republic of
science throughout the world could give"
Make note of this, boys, and think
whether you are going the right way to
work in your life mission.

LONELINESS.

It is not your neat dress, yaur cxpen-
sivc shawl, or your pretty figure, that
attracts mon of sense. They look be-
yond these. 1t is the true loneliness of
your nature that wins and continues to
retain the affections of the heart. Young
ladies sadly miss it who labor to improve
the outward looks, while they bestow
not a thought on their minds. Fools
may be won by gew-gaws and fashiona-
bic snowy dresses, but the wise and sub
stantial arc never caught in such traps.
Let modesty be your dress. Use pleas
ant and agreeable language, and you
may not be courted by the fop and sot,
but the good and truly great will love to
linger in your steps. The results will DO
your infinite gain. M

SELECTING SEED CoRN.-An Illinois
correspondent ofthc Independent writes /:
Last spring and early summer there was
some discussion about selecting seed
corn. Some advised shclling the tips
off and rescrving the middle of the ear
for planting. One man said one grain
on the same cob is as good as another.
Had he been raiser of corn ne would
have known better. Some ten years
ago planted an ear of corn to test the
difference between the produce of the
kernels of both ends and the middle OF
the same car, and will give you the re-
suit. The soil was just alike, the cult
walton the same, and the crop very diff
ferent. | planted the first two rows
from the large end of the ear, the next
two rows from the middle, and the last
two rows from the tip or small end !; and
planted all the same morning. The
large end produced fair sized ears, with
irregular rows much as you will fine
them at that end of the ear. The mid
die kernels produced large ears, mostly
straight rowed and fair. The tip
which brought forth nubbins only /; there
was not a fair ear on the two rows o
corn. This is an experimental fac
which you may use as you please.
have raised corn more or less for forty
years and now plant only abont half oil
at most two thirds, of the kernels or
each ear of corn; and generally raise
! good crops.

PUSH OX.-A wise man will never
rust out. AS long as he breathes tho
breath of life, he will be doing something
for himself, his country, or posterity.
Washington, Franklin, Howard, Young,
Newton, all were at work almost to the
last hours of their existence. It is a
foolish thing to believe. that we must
lie down and die simply because we are
old. The man of energy is not old, it is
only he who suffers his energies to waste
away, and permit the springs of his life
to become motionless on whose hands
the hours drag heavily, and to whom all
things wear the vestments of gloom.
There are scores of greyheads living to-
day that we would prefer in any impor-
tant enterprise to those young gentle
men who fear and tremble when shadows
approach, and turn away at the first
harsh word or discouraging frown.

THE BEST BID.-Somc people are af-
hicted with mania for buying second
hand articles at auction. They watch
the announcement Of these sales with
eager scrutiny, and are always on hand
at an carly hour, ready to buy anything
from broken mirror or spoiled carpet
down to dilapidated hand-furnacc or
split rolling pin. No matter whether
they need an article or not they arc al
ways ready to bid for it. No matter if
the purchase of an article will reduce
them to melancholy straits, they will bid
and bid, upon it, however high it may
run up. Ifthcre is any place of bust
ness which unsophisticated people should
avoid, it is an auction room, and when
they chance to find themselves in one,
the best bid they can make is to bid tho
auctionccr goodbye as soon as possible.
