under the sheltering trees of fashionable
park and garden. Among the ice-eating
tanning crowd there, he meets the
younger Of the two sisters, and for = mo-
ment thinks he is speaking TO the elder.
"Oh Mr." answered the lady, "how
dreadfully hot it is here" Yes, Madame"
replies our luckIess critic, IL is hot here,
but I can assure you the heat Of this place
isn't circumstance when compared with
the heat of the place where your poor
dear husband Is suffering to-day" A hor-
for stricken expression comes over the
face Of the lady; she rises from her chair
and fioundDs indignantly away. "Ah, Me

critic, II have been mistaking the one
sister for the other, and she thinks meant

an anecdote illustrative of this truth,
which has probably not appeared IN print
before, and which has been told ~ as q

city--never mind what city. There were
two pretty sisters who had married, one
an eminent lawyer, the other . dbtin-
guished literary man. Literary man dies,
and leaves younger sister widow. Some
years roll away, and the widow lays aside
her weeds. Now, then, 1t happens that .
certain author and critic has occaaion, on

eminent lawyer, husband Of the elder

Hoe Your Own Row.

THERE is no better way to ruin young
man than to give him to understand In
early life that his future success will not
depend upon his own individual efforts.
There are cases in which young men, who
have had such teachings, have overcome
their preniciOus effects, but As compared
with the whole, these are exceptions and
not the rule. The parent, who thorough
" impresses upon the mind Of his boy the
idea that he will be dependent upon his
own exertions-that the responsibility OF
his success or failure rests with himself
will lind that q good work has been
wrought, the effects of which will be seen
only when the boy enters upon the grand
struggle which is TO result in triumphant
victory or lamentable defeat. A boy thus
taught feels that he hae a duty to perform
that while he may have the support and
influence of parent to assist, still, upon
his own energies and efforts will depend
his success. He recognizes, therefore,
that he is a power within himself, and
this knowledge puts restraint upon i'm
moral tendencies, and prompts to habits
of active industry and prudent economy.
Who that has been the architect OF his
own fortune cannot recall the pride of the
moment when he found himself the pos
sessof Of the first thousand, or the pro-
prietor of the workshop, factory, store or
Office in which the foundation Of his
wealth was laid. There may have been
happier moments of his life, but none that
carried with them more genuine and per-
feet satisfaction. Parents, teach your boys
to rely upon themselves. Teach them
to stand alone in early life. Implant in
them a feeling of confidence in their own
ability and their own powers, coupled
with q feeling of personal responsibility,
which will steady them when they incline
to vacillate or waver, and inspire them
with that spirit of self dependence which
rarely ever fails to win triumph Vest
