The Business Mans Discipline.

The life of business man gives his char
acter pretty hard trial Not only dees ii
exercise his sagacity and prudence, but it puts
his integrity to the severest test. He is sur
rounded by the selfshness of trade; he sees
men profit by cunning and fraud, aud he is
tempted to try his skill in artifce and decep.
ton. Every day his honesty is tried in some
way. He is thrown back upon his inward
principle, and if his heart is hollow and de-
ceitful he will be sure to show it. And that
man has reason to thank God who has gone
through long course Of business through
times Of wild speculation and general bank
ruptcy, and goes down to the grave with the
never shaken consciousness Of being an honest
man. He who can see others making money
by false representations and never stoop to
these tricks of trade, is fitting his own pure
mind for world that is more worthy of him.
And yet man cannot wholly escape these
temptations. To do that, he must needs go
out of the world, or retire into solitude. He
might, indeed. avoid all danger of shutting
himself within the walls of convent. 1t is
not, however, the will of God that we should
retire apart to keep from contamination, but
maintain our integrity amid strong induce
ments to evil. Not in deserts, but in cities !;
not in the hermits cell, but among men, shar
ing the common lot, meeting temptation as
it comes, are we to form our characters for
eternity. Men ought to rejoice in rigid
discipline. Whenever assailed by temptation,
an opportunity is given to conquer themselves
and SO to become nobler beings.
The most heroic virtues Of the human
character are brought out in the struggle
with the Unborn selfshness, and with the cow
ardly examples of the world. Men of brave
hearts ought to welcome the conflicts and
buffetings of life. Every victory they gain
will make them stronger, as the tempest.
which rocks and tears the mountain oak, caus
es it to strike its roots down deeper in the
earth, and to lift higher its majestic arms
towards heaven.

Witches in the Cream.


Witches in the Cream.
Through all the long, long winters day,
And half the 'dreary night
We churned, and yet.no butter came;
The cream looked thin and white.
Next morning, with our hopes renewed,
The task began again;
We churned and churned till back and arms
And head did ache with pain.
The cream rose up, then sulking fell, Is
Grew thick, and then grew thin; @
1t splashed and spattered in our eyes,
On clothes and nose and chin.
We churned it fast, and churned it slow,
And stirred it round and round;
Yet all the livelong weary day M
Was heard the dasher's sound
The sun sank in the, gloomy west
The moon rose CHASTITY pale;
And still we churned, with courage low,
And hopes about to fail; A - -
When in walked Granny Dean who heard
With wonder and amaze, se.- '-,-as
Our troubles. AS she crossed herself,
And in the fire did gaze,
~ .Utgsi-S &1l.Gsts- t44
"Lord help us all, )" she quickly said, ~
- And covered up her face;
" Lord help us all, for as you live,
There's witches in the place' s
"There's witches here within this churn,
That have possessed the cream. .
Go bring the horseshoe that | saw
Hang on the celarbeam"
p tz - & = s.
The shoe was brought, when round and roun
She tWirled it DER her head;
$50 drive the witches from that cream
In solemn voice she said.
Then tossed it in the fire, till red
With heat it soon did turn, r
And dropped it 'mong the witches dread
That hid within the churn.
Once more the dasker's sound was heard
Have patience with my rhyme
For sure enough, the butter came
In twenty minutes time.
Some say the temperature was changed
With horseshoe glowing red;
But when we asked old Granny Dean,
She only shakes her head.

This is no novel in the market having been be-

everywhere stood the test of the searching scru-
tiny.
This medicine is actually compounded from
the purest ingredien s, by an experienced and
careful chemist; neither is it claimed that the
ingredients were hitherto unknown to the med
ical profession. On the contrary the various
component parts have for long time (some Of
them for centuries been used by Inc NEST sci

arising from arrangements Of the Digestive APP

Female Education in Japan.

Throughout Japan it is the universal Gus
tom for young ladies, when arrived at the
age of fourteen or fifteen, to be placed in
what may be appropriately called a finishing
establishment. This establishment has the
following, among other pecuGarities, namely F.:
all the masters pay for the privilege Of teach
ing, instead of Ias in the case with us) being
paid for their lessons This makes the in
suction labor of love Then again, to a
certain extent, a japanese young lady is al
lowed considerable freedom as to the selec-
ton Of herinstructors she generally prefers
the best looking. A lady principal Of one
of our finishing establishments for young la
dies would not be a little surprised if she
could be suddenly transported to Japan, there
to study the peculiarities Of Japanese custom.
She would fad herself, not in close, pent-up
room, filled with girls bolt upright each
perched upon an educational stool, but in a
delightful garden, fragrant with tea and flow
ers. She would see number of little sum-
mer houses uncovered in the midst Of these
charming vegetable products. for which ia
pan is so justly celebrated, brought to perfec-
ton by the most exquisite horticulture, She
would see bright eyed damsels, with cheeks
pink as the roses, moving around her with
graceful step, each bearing small lacquer
tray with tea and cakes. She would see each
-damsel, with joyous smile and modest mien,
vending each her way to summer house. In
each of these summer houses she would see a
master or professor, either waiting the return
Of one Of the refreshment bearing damsels, or
else sitting by the side of one who had al
ready come back. japanese girls remain in
educational seminaries Of this kind until mar
rage, and they make excellent wives.
