4 Rural lesson in RhetorIc.

Brown was invited to visit a town
in the extreme rural districts for the
purpose of lecturing to the people on
temperance. He arrived at his desti-
nation late in the evening, and was
invited to the cottage of farmer to
partake of supper previous to the dis
play of his eloquence.
The farmer had two sons, twenty to
twenty-five years old, and to them
a temperance lecturer appeared some
thing more than an ordinary man.
Brown had great difficulty in draw
ing them into conversation, but at
length the ice was broken, and the
following colloquy was the result:
81 suppose you've both affixed your
names to the pledge long ago." que
ried his friend.
"Which?n
~ suppose you are both temperance
men, and have pledged yourselves to
abstain from the use of everything
that intoxicates?n

lesson in rhetoric he ever received,
and he made an unusual effort to adj

his hearers "in that neck o. TIMBER

cigar Making bn Maehlnerr.

The American Cigar Machine COM
pany recently gave, q practical eXhi-
bitiOn of the machines patented by
them for the manufacture of cigars.
These machines bid far to work a reVO-
luton i'll cigar making, not only be-
cause of lthe reduced cost of the pro-
ductiOn, but also ON account of the
fact that cigars 80 made can be sold
for ten dollars o thousand less than
cigars made by hand. The company
has thirty machines in operation,
driven by n small ealOrie engine. The
machines are simpleand can be work
ed by children. The wrappers are first
cut from the pure leaf by a machine.
y hundred leaves are placed in pile,
held in place by a clamp, when four
knives in the shape of an oblOng
square descend and cut out the wrap
pers. The cigar making machine
consists of revolving rollers covered
by cap. The ''fillerS," having been
wrapped up in the rough by hand, are
placed within the machine, and in a
few minutes the cigar is sufficiently
rolled and fashioned at one end to re-
ceive the wrapper, which is fed into
the machine, the operative having
previously gummed the ends. The
cigar is then taken out, neatly and ex-
peditiously made. All that remains
TO be done is to trim one end. A girl
can produce two thousand cigars
day by these machines, and can easily
earn from ten to fifteen dollars per
week. They promise to come into
general use, rs they possess the merit,
in addition to those above stated, of
effectually doing away with Strikes"
which are said to be frequent occur
rences in cigar manufactOries-NclV

IndecisiOn.

Thousands of young men are to
day drifting helplessly about in the
ocean of life, vainly hoping that ere
long some favorable breeze will spring
and drive their vessels into some safe
harbor. Where that harbOr is, they
have no idea; because they have 40
definite object in view They have
never decided upon any course of life,
but permit their actions to be shaped
and moulded by the circumstances OF
the hour. Is it any wonder that dis
asters follow each other in quick sue
cession ? More men are ruined
through indecisiOn than from 4 wrong
decision. Few men Will deliberately
lay out and pursue plan of life that
will ultimately work their ruin. Most
young men of. the present day enter
lhe great battle of life without any
well defined system of warfare, and,
consequently, Spend their hest days
in aimIess pursuits. INDIGESTION is the
tJare-of our -existeAees-CeUld- We look
into the world of spirits, we would
find but few souls in the dark regions
of woe that had resolved to reach that
goal; nearly all who are there, and
those who are fastening there, are III
their present condition.. simply be-
cause they never decided whittier
they would 90, and their iadecisiOn
has been their ruin.

Some Of the pont,s.

In a "Chapter of DOnt's for Super
intendents," we find them exhorted ::
Don't forget that the real object of the
Sunday School is the thorough study
of Gods word; not entertainment,
which is simply help TO the attain
ment of the object. Don't forget that
a teaspoonful of example is worth
more than a gallon Of precept with
children. Don't fail to be, yourself,
what you would have the children be.
Don't forget that brevity is AN essen
tial trait in the superintendent; that
as they make short prayers, so should
you, when praying with them. Don't
forget how simple are child-wants,
but use very eOllOquial language, suit
ed TO the children's understanding If
you would secure their attention. =
Don't forget, on Monday, that YOU
are superintendent. Don't forget that
your teachers are fellow labOrers with
you. Don't try to be Independent of
your pastor. Consult him often.-
Don't forget your dependence upon
God for success. LetnO soul commit
ted to your care be lost by your I'M
faithfulnesS. -t-

To Young Men.

1t is easier to be good business
man than a poor one. Half the ener-
gy displayed in keeping ahead that is
required to catch upwhen behind will
save credit, give more time to bIIsi-
ness, and add to the profit and repu-
tatiop of your work. Honor your en-
gagement. If you promise to meet 4
man, or do n certain thing, alta certain
moment, be ready at the appointed
time. If you go out on business, at
tend promptly to the matter ON hand,
and then as promptly go about your
own business. Do not stop to tell
stories in business hours. sg.ll ...l .-...
If fyOu have a place of business, be
found there when wanted. No man
can get rich by sitting around stores
and saloons. Never "fOoln on busi-
ness matters. If you have to labor
for a living, remember that one hour
i'm the morning is better than two at
night. If you employ others, be on
hand to see that they attend to their
duties, and to direct with regularity,
promptness and liberality. Do not
meddle with any business you know
nothing of, Never buy a thing SIM
ply because the man that sells it will
take it out in trade. Trade is money.
Time is money. a good business
habit and reputation is always mon
ey. Make your place OF business
pleasant and attractive; then stay
there to wait on customers. .-r
Never use quick words, or allow
yourself to make hasty or ungentle-
manly remarks to those in your en-
plOy, for to do so lessons fheir respect
for you and your influence over them,
Help yourself, and others will help
YOU. Be faithful over the interest
confided to your keeping, and all in
good time your responsibilities will
be increased. Do not he in too great
haste to get rich. Do not build until
YOU have arranged and laid a good
Foundation. Do nOt--as you hope to
work for success-spend time in idle
ness. If your time is your own, busi-
ness viii 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 it than to steal money. Be Obli-
ging. Strive to avoid harsh words
and personalities. Do not kick every
stone in the path; more miles can be
made day by going steadily on than
by stopping to kick. Pay as you so.
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 fashionahle.-
Learn to say no. No necessity of
swapping it out dog fashion, but say
it firmly and respectfully. HaYe but
few contidants, and the fewer the het-
ter. 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 a folly in the argument, let us
know.-ErchdRge.-
