The Men Who Succeed.

Take twenty boys of sixteen, in our
or any city in the State, and let them
go to work, three or four in dry goods
store, boot and shoe or blacksmith es-
Establishments and printing offices. In
ten years they will have become men
of twenty six, and the majority of them
will be about as far along in business
as they ever will be. One or two only
in each of the above branches will be
established in business for. themselves
or connected with some firm doing
good business, and the rest will be
barely getting a living and growing,
about their poor luck. Now, we assert
that there is good reason for their
poor success, and that luck, has but
little if anything at all, to do with it.
If we take the trouble to ascertain the
real facts in their several cases, we shall
find that those young men who become
masters in their trades, or leading men
in their pursuits, were not afraid to
work, and were determined TO succeed.
They looked beyond the day and week.
They made themselves valuable and
useful to their employers, by being al
ways faithful, reliable and willing to
do what they could for the interest Of
those for whom they worked. When
press of business came, they were
ready and willing to work extra hours,
and without sulking or grumbling, well
knowing that business must be attend
ed to when it came, and that they were
plenty of dull times during the year,
which more than counterbalance any
extra brislness of the busy season. To
sum it all up, these young men identi-
fed themselves with the establish
ments where they were employed, be-
came useful to their employers, in fact,
could be lily spared, and in due course
of time, having gained experience,
were invited to take hand with the
already established house, Or else
boldly strike out for themselves
Here, then, is the lesson, which is, il
you wish to become successful masters
learn first to become faithful servants

BooKLEss HousEs.-We form judg-
ments of men from little things about
their houses Of which the owners per-
haps never think. Give us house
furnished with books rather than hand
some furniture. Both, if you can but
books at any rate. Books are the win
dows through which the soul looks
ont. A house without them is like a
house without windows. Let US pity
those poor rich men who live barrenly
in great bookless houses. Let us con-
graduate the poor, that in our day,
books are SO cheap that man every
year may add hundred volumes tohis
library, for the price of what his tobac-
co and beer would cost him.

THE TWO WORKERS.
Two workers in one field

Two workers in one field
Toiled on from day to day,
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay;
With the same blue sky above,
The same green grass below,
One soul was full of love,
The other full of woe.
One leaped up with the light,
With the soaring of the lark;
One felt it ever night,
For his soul was ever dark;
One heart was hard as stone,
One heart was ever gay;
One worked with many gPoan,
One whistled all the day,
One had a fiower-cIad cot
Beside merry mill,
Wife and children near the spot
Made it sweeter, fairer still;
One wretched howell had.
Full of discord. dirt and din,
No wonder he seemed mad,
Wife and children starved within.
Still they worked in the same field,
Toiled on from day to day,
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay;
Bnt they worked not with one will,
The reason let me tell
Lo ! the one drank at the still,
And the other at the well.

says that an important question to be
answered at the present time is, "Why
have Christianity and civilization failed
TO give Euglishmen the manners of gen.
tlemen ?" and asserts that on reading the
account of the Inauguration of the Suez
Canal by the Times correspondent, it is
impossible not to be struck with the su-
periority Of the Arab over the English
man in this respect. It says "We read
that the Arabs make way for stranger
with promptness aud courtesy, never
stare or affect the ill-bred ease, or in
dulge in the vulgar chatting Of far better
drsssed mobs in the lands nearer home.
On the other hand, we read of the ri
diculous and unreasonable grumbting of
the Christian guests OF the Viceroy, and
of gentleman demanding an audience
OF his Highness for the purpose of COM
planning that he had been put to sleep in

peculiar property it possesses in being an in

and differs from all other medicines in its ac-
ton in arresting disease.

ONE OF THE LOST TRIBES. of the
"lost tribes" has at last turned up, safe
and sound, in the shape of people
called the Falashas, who inhabit dis
.trict in Abyssinia which has long re-
mained terra incognita and blank
space on the maps. They were visited
by Mr.. Halevy. very intelligent French
traveller, who has now communicated an
account of his journey to the French
Geological Society.
There were about 250, 900 of the Fa-
lashas. They speak an Agna dialect
called Falashine, or Kaillina. and into
this language they have translated
Gheez version of the Old Testament.
They do not practice polygamy. They
circumcise their male children on the
seventh day. Their proper names are
derived from Hebrew, Gheez, and Amha-
ric. The institution of publication. is
practiced /; the children are taught the
Bible. the psalms, prayers, and sacred
history. ln the synagogues the sexes
sle apart. Incense is burned during the
services. Their religion, g, ~ are
the Messiah are very indistinct.
They are wholly unacquainted with
Hebrew, and know nothing of the cere-
monies instituted after the time of Ezra.
They have religious literature written
in the style of the Midrath. They keep
the Sabbath rigidly fast on Mondays
and Thursdays; keep the 9th of Alb to
commemorate the destruction of Jerusa-
lem. They wash before and say grace
after eating; they have traditional
mode of slaughtering animals for food !;
they practice commemorative sacrifices
on the holy days, and also for the repose
of the souls of the dead. Their women
enjoy equality with men. They hold
slaves, but liberate them after servitude
OF six years.

A TERRIBLE STORY. Montana
Democrat. of the 1st, says: zone of the
saddest affairs we have ever been called
upon to record, occurred in this county,
on Saturday, November Goth. The facts.
as We have gathered them, are these
Emery Alderman, q young man,
twenty-five or thirty years of age, left
Boonsboro on the day mentioned to 20
to his fathers, in Yell township, having
with him his gun, and hunting as he
]ourneyed along. When in Yell town
ship, nearly home, he fell into an old
deserted we'll, thirty feet in depth. Upon
the mouth of the we'll plank had been
placed and covered over with dirt. Over
all the snow had fallen, completely hiding
All evidences Of the terrible pit. On to
it he walked. and the rotten plank giving
way, he was instantly hurled to the bot
tom Of the we'll. But the saddest part of
the story remains to be told. A portion
OF the old stone wall remained, and on to
it he clambered. But above him there
was no means of escape, nothing by
which he could climb, nothing by which
he could clutch. Death stared him in
the face. How he called for help, hour
upon hour, throughout that long night,
and the next day, and the next, only
God knows, for the echoes of the voice
never pierced beyond the dark and dis
NAL cavern into which he had fallen.
Hope fled, and the King of Terrors CON
fronted him. He scratched upon stone
the story Of his entombment, and upon
the fourth day he probably persisted.
On Friday, the sixth day, some one fell
upon his tracks. which were yet i'm
printed in the snow, and coming to the
well at once realized that human being
had been precipitated below. The search
was made, and the facts, as we have re-
cited them, brought to light. AS young
Alderman did not live at home, it is
likely he was never missed, SO that no
search had ever been instituted.
