Talking about pears the other day, we gave
the dimensions of one that struck some cas-
nal observers as rather strained. There are
some persons SO constituted as to be fairly
sceptical on almost all subjects-who will not
believe "what thay see in the newspapers"
but must touch, taste, smell and handle before
they are convinced. Such people are abso-
lutely chased by shadows. They never go
out of doors after dark but they peer about
them to see if they are not surrounded by
bears. Now the pear to which we referred
was of very fair dimensions, but nothing in
comparison with the one which we have I'M
der consideration. Compared with this the
former pear is but an insignificant wind-fall,
to be cast away as worthless in the general
gathering. The pear before us has been
placed in our hands Gone hand will not hold
it, by ]. H. Clapp, Esq, of this city.
It is an original California pear, and was
grown near Feather river, Cal. 1t weighed
when picked lbs. 0 OF. After shrinkage it
measures 21 inches by II inches !! "A few
more exclamation points wanted) Bring on
your pears, gentlemen. This monster may
be seen for few days at Clapp Norths
bookstore.

The following is undoubtedly good advice
to young men everywhere:
Let the business of every one alone and at
tend to your own. Don't buy what you don't
want. Use every hour to advantage and
study to make leisure hour useful. Look
over your books regularly. If stroke of
misfortune comes upon your business, re-
trench, work harder, but never fly the track.
Confront difficulties with unfinching perse-
verence, and you will be honored; but shrink
and you will be despised. Seek to acquire
the power of continuous application, without
which you cannot expect success. Ii you do
this, you will be able to perceive the differ
ence which it creates between you and those
who have not such habits. You will not
yourself, nor will they count you as one of
Them Thus you will find yourself emerging
into the higher regions of intellectual and
earnest men-men who are capable of making
a place for themselves, instead of standing
idly gaping, desiring place.

1t is great art to know exactly what coll
ors 20 best together. Green looks well with
gold, violet and red; pale blue, with scarlet;
pink, with black or white, and gray with scar
let or pink. A cold color generally requires
a warm tint to give life. White and black
are usually safe for any complexion. Pink is
becoming to some. but not if there is much
color in the cheeks or lips. Maize or straw
color is particularly becoming to people of
dark complexion, with black hair and eyes.
Above all, whatever be the color of the dress,
the ornaments and trimmings, throughout,

other. If all that finishes dress harmonizes,
then the general effect cannot fail of being
