A Word to Young Men.

1t is as easy to be good man as poor
one Half the energy displayed in keep
ing ahead that is required to catch up
with behind, would save credit, give more
time to attend to business, and add to the
profit and reputation of those who work
for gain. BE prompt honor yonr engage
ments. If you promise to meet man, or
do a certain thing at certain moment, be
ready at the appointed time. If you 60
out on business, attend promptly to the
matter on hand, then as promptly attend
to your own business DO not stop to
tell stories during business hours. If
you have place Of business, be there
when wanted No man can get rich by
sitting around stores and saloons. Never
I" fool |" on busines matters. Have order,
system, regularity aud promptness DO
not meddle with business you know
nothing of. Never buy any article you do
not need, simply because it is cheap, and
the man who sells will take it out in trade
Trade is money. Strive to avoid harsh
words and personalities Do not kick
every stone in the path-more miles can
be made in a day by going steadily on,
than stopping to kick. Pay as you CO.
A man Of honor respects his word as he
does his bond Aid, but never beg. Re-
lieve others when you can, but never give
what you cannot afford to, simply because
it is fashionable. Learn to say No. No
necessity for swapping it out dog fashion /;
but say it firmly and respectfully. Have
but few confdants. Use your brains
rather than those of others. Learn to
think and act for yourself Be vigilant.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times. Young man, cut this out, and
place it, by careful perusal, in the golden
store-house of your brain, and if you find
that there is folly in the argument, let us
know. -..

Anecdote Of Horace Greeley.

Fanny Fern tells the following story of
her first meeting with Horace Greeley.
He agreed to take tea at her house, and
Mr.. Parton gave her special injunction
to have some stale bread on the table, as
Horace G., he said, never touched hot
biscuit.
This was accordingly done, and when
the great editor sat down to supper, a
large supply of dry bread was placed
close to his place. He, however, was not
content with this, but peering across the
table in his near-sighted way at the bis
cults opposite, he stretched out his arm
and proceeded to help himself, and actu-
ally made his entire meal of them. Mrs.
Parton expressed her surprise at this, and
said:
"Why, Mr. Greeley, l read the Tri-
bune for so long time, that thought
you abominated hot bread"
Fanny" replied the sage Horace,
helping himself to another biscuit, do
you always practice what you preach !?
I'm sure L don't"

Female Magnetism,

A commander in the royal mail service
found his steamer some thirty miles out
of her course. He was sorely troubled,
and could not account for the local at
traction that had sent him SO far out Of
his way. Instruments and calculations
appeared equally faultless. Sorely troub-
led, from having passed sleepless, watch
full night, the captain went on deck after
breakfast. Seeing lady sitting Gas was
her custom) and working near the bin
nacle, it occurred to him that probably
the scissors were resting on the ledge Of
it. Detecting nothing of the sort, and
bent on closer investigation, he discover
ed that the chair had an iron frame. 1t
also, quite reasonably, flashed across him
that the lady's ample crinoline was ex-
tended by steel hoops. So, mastering all
his faculties, he exclaimed, with as much
forgiveness and as little reproach in his
tones as possible" Madam, you have,
by your local attraction, drawn my ship
some forty miles from her course F"

A Wonderful Story.

TT is said that the tombs Of the Necro-
Il pills of ancient Egypt two kinds of
mummies have been found One is incom-
plete-that is to say all organs necessary
for life have been separated from them;
the other, on the contrary, is quite com
plete. Having observed this, Swedish
chemist, DR.. Grusselbach, has come to
the conclusion that the Egyptian num-
mics are not all, as has been said and be-
lieved for some thousands of years,
bodies embalmed by any process Of pres
ervation whatever, but that they are real
ly the bodies of individuals whose life
has been momentarily suspended, with
the intention of res toring them at some
future time, only the secret Of preserva-
ton has now been lost. Meanwhile
Professor Gusselbach adduces many proofs
in support of his idea; among others his
experiments during the last ten years,
which he says have always proved success
full. He took a snake and treated it in
such manner as to benumb it as though
it was carved into marble, and it was
so brittle had he allowed it to fall, it
would have broken into fragments. In
this state he has kept it for several
years, and then restored it to life by
sprinkling it with stimulating fluid, the
composition of which is his secret For
fifteen years the snake has been under
going an existence composed OF successive
deaths and resurrections apparently
without sustaining any harm. The Pro-
fessor is reported to have sent petition
to his Government, requesting that a
criminal who had been condemned to
death may be given to him, to be tried
in the same manner as the snake, promis-
ing to restore him to life in two years. 1t
is understood that the man who under.
goes this experiment is to be pardoned.
Whether the Swedish government has ac-
cepted or rejected the learned chemists
proposal is not known.

that robbers were about, he had stopped

What He Knew About Farming.

Not many miles from Boston certain
farmer owned contrary horse. While
driving home with load of hay, some
time since, the horse concluded not to
move any further whereupon the farmer
pulled out small quantity of the hay,
placed it undert the horse and set fire to it..
The fire had the desired effect, for it
obliged the horse to move. He started
forward just enough to clear the flames,
and the entire load, with the wagon, was
destroyed, the farmer having as much as
he could do to clear the horse from the
wagon in season to save his life.

The Potato In 1886.

The potato in its early cultivation, met
with strange vicissitudes and great op-
position. The stern old Puritans opposed
its cultivation and denied its lawfulness
as an article of food because the plant
was not mentioned in the Bible Sir
Walter Raleigh carried the plants to Eng
land from this country in 1886 and put
them in his garden. His gardener thought
the green potato apples were the potatoes,
and expressed his disgust to his master
at such products. He was told to pull
up the weeds and throw them away. In
In doing so he found the true potatoes,
more than bushel in quantity; he hur-
ried back to Sir Walter in very happy
humor; to show him the sample and
make known the discovery. So late as
1925 it was only cultivated in gardens in
England and Scotland. During a period
of more than one hundred and fifty years
after Sir Walter introduced u into Ire
land, it failed to rise superior to the
preiudices Of English cultivators.

Just His Trade.

The Rev. George More, minister Of
the Original Secession Church, was riding
to the village of Howgate, in the vicinity
of the city. The day was stormy, snow
falling heavily. Mr.. More was enveloped
in Spanish cloak, with woman's shawl
tied around his neck and shoulders.
These loose garments, covered with snow
and waving in the blast, startled the horse
of commercial traveller who CHANGED to
ride past. The alarmed steed plunged,
and managed to throw its rider, who ex-
claimed " You would frighten the devil,
sir p " May be-" said Mr.. More, " for
it's Just my tradeW

An Irishman was looking about the
ruins of burnt confectionery establish
ment iu Nashua, N. H., when he spied a
box of lozengcs, still in a fair state of
preservation. He picked up the box, but
preliminary to making off with it the
idea occurred to him to be sure that the
lozenges were worth purloining. He
picked up roll and broke it in two, and
crammed his mouth as full Of lozenges as
the Crachitts did Of spoons. In mo-
ment more the box was hurled to the
ground, accompanied by the exclamation !:
