Cling to Those Who Cling to
Won.

OUs
There are many friends Of summer,
Who are kind while flowers bloom,
But when winter chills the blossoms,
They depart with the perfume,
On the broad highway Of action,
Friends of worth are fur and few;
So when one has proved his friendship;
Cling to him who clings to you.
Do not harshly judge your neighbor,
Do not deem his life untrue,
If he makes no great pretentions;
Deeds are great, though words are few
Those who stand amid the tempest.
Firm US when the skies are blue,
Will be friends while life endurcth;
Cling to those who cling to you.
When you see worthy brother
Buffeting the stormy main,
Lend helping hand fraternal,
Till he reach the shore again;
Don't desert the old and tried friend
When misfortune comes in view,
For he then needs Friendships comforts;
Cling to those who cling to you.

L work cd, and Earned It.

"VshSSA, H0U EatneO H.
A few weeks ago, q gentleman liv
ing in an Eastern town was called
out Of his bed one morning by sever
al vigorous raps on his front-door.-
Hastily dressing himself, be respond.
cd to the call and found standing
upon the step an uncouth. roughly
clad boy, with an axe on his should
er, who, hastily thrusting his hand
int" his pansaloous pocket, drew out
q small roll. and handing it to judge
H., said:
" There's seventy five dollars,
which l want you to put in the saw
ings-bank,' - and hastily turned on
his heel and started away.
The Judge. slightly disconnected
at the curious proceeding. scarcely
knew wnat to say, till ut length, re-
covering his wits, he cried out after
the boy
"St"p! come back here. How did
you come by this money!"
"l worked, and earned it, sir.-
My time was out last night. and
got my money. I've got u job chop
ping. which began on this morning,
and | thought II leave the money
with you as | want to work, and then
it w"uldn't take up my time this
evening when l want to study"
''N hat is your name. nv boy?"
asked the Judge.
IL wrote it on the paper that I
wrapped the money up in.' shouted
the little We od-chopper as he passed
on to his work
That boys note for thousand
dollars ten years hence would be as
good as gold. If he has his health,
he will b" worth double that then.
He is beginning in the right way.
Tho very day his time was out for
the summer, he entered upon another
job. and Immediately placed the mon
ey he had worked for where that
would work for him; and with an
esonony of time which is more to 10
praised than his wise forethvught
with regard to money. he could not
endure to have moment devoted to
any thing but his books when the
long evenings came.
Five years from to-day with good
education. with good habits, with \
few hundred dollars, which he has
earned by work, his chance for place
nthe business and political world
will be far greater than those Of the
spendthrift boy, who, born with for
tune. begins without knowing the
worth of money, aud instead Of 60
ing up. goes down.-(He and
