EXhauStiYaneSS of Brain Wark.

The following beautiful passage is by the
Rev. j. E. Corning, 1t will be appreciated
by all the "brain workers"
While sit at my study-table with my
pen in hand, the finger moving with tardy
pace at the beckon Of the brain, hear right
below the window, in the adjacent field, the
monotcnous ring o. laborcr's hoe upon the
corn hills. While he hoes, he whistles hour
by hour till the clock strikes twelve, and then
with ravenous appetite repairs to his beautiz
full yet simple meal, only to resume his task
again and pursue it to the setting of the sun.
As stood at the window watching his
toll. ard turned away to my pen and paper.
| asked myself how it happened that the
man with the hoe will labor his eight or ten
hours day with less fatigue than the man
with his pen will toll his three or four -
Hugh Miller was great worker with his
shovel and pick-would have made good
hand In slate quarry, in guarding railroad,
or digging a canal. But one night, as you
know, he shot himselfin a Gt of nervous fever
What was the difference between the great
geologist and the man with the hoe whistliug
under my window? Simply this, the former
was worker Of the brain, and the latter a
worker Of the muscle. Let this man with
the hoe lay down his husbapdry for little
while to study one of those stalks of corn OF
the chemistry Of one Of those hills of soil
and very likely he would soon learn what il
is to lose ones appetite, and hear the clock
nearly all the night hours in feverish wakeful-
ress. And thus we get at a great organic
law Of our being, to wit: the brain work sub
tracts vitality from the fountain Of while
muscle works only draughts upon, the rami-
flying streams Of life. It is estimated by
scientific observers that a man will use ur
as much vital force in working his brains
two hoHrs as he will in working his muscles
eight.

DON'T KILL TIME.

"Spare copper, sir, I'm starving" said a
poor, half clad man to gentleman who was
fastening homeward through the streets in
the city one bitter cold night 'spare cop
per, sir, and God will bless you.'' "
Struck with the poor fellows manner and
appearance, the gentleman replied:
''You look as if you had seen better days.
IF you will tell me candidly what has been
your greatest failing through life, I'll give
you enough money to pay your lodging"
II am afraid could hardly do that the
beggar answered, with mournful smile.
TRY, man, try" added the gentleman
"Heres shilling to sharpen your memory,
only be sure you speak the truth"
The man pressed the coin tightly in his
hand, aud, after thinking for nearly min
ute, said:
"To be honest with you, then, I believe
my greatest fault has been in learning to "kill
time" When | was a youngster, I had kind
loving parents who let me do pretty much
as liked; so | became idle and careless,
and never once thought of the change which
gas in store for me. In the hope that I
should one day make my mark in the world
| was sent to college; but there l wasted
my time in idle dreaming and expensive
amusements If had been poor boy with
necessity staring ME in the face, I think
should have done better. But I somehow
fell into the notion that life was to be only
one continued holiday. I gradually became
fond of wine and company. In few years
my parents both died; and you can guess
the rest. soon wasted ghat little they left
me and now it is too late to combat my old
habits. Yes sir, ldleness ruined me-"
Il believe your story" replied the gentle
man; ''and when | get home will tell it to
my own boys as warning I am sorry for
you indeed I am. But it is never too late
to reform. Come to my Office tomorrow
and let me inspire you with fresh courage."'
And giving the man another piece Of mon
ey, and indicating where he should be found,
he hurried away
Never kill time, boys He is your best
friend Use him we'll Don't let him slip
through your fingers when you are young as
the beggar did. The days of your boyhood
are the most precious you will ever see The
habits you will get into will stick to you like
wax IF they are good ones, life will be a
II
success. You may not grow rich, but your
life will be real success, nevertheless.
Ii, on the contrary, you waste your early
years, live for fun only trife with your OPP
portunitics, you will find after while that
your life is failure-yes, even if you should
be as rich as Cresus
One Of the saddest things is to meet man
who has let golden opportunities so by him,
just entering the battle of life, yet entirely
untitled for his position. He is to be pitied
and yet blamed. In this favored land every
one can learn to read and write, for instance.
But how often do we inset young men utter
ly unable to write a dozen lines without max
ing mistakes BE assured, dear young friends,
it will be source of shame to you as men,
if you do not pay attention to education as
boys.

Things that must be Done.

There are some things that must be done.
The sooner we do them the better. The Ion
ger we wait the heavier the burden grows
and the harder the work seems to be. There
is time fos all things; and things are more
easily done at the right time than at any
other time. We conquer in the fight Of faith
by instant obedience. Delay is disobedience
ard disobedience ends in death.
A British officer in India once had to at
tack about thousand mutinous Sepoys
with fifty or sixty men. His men hesitated
the danger seemed too great Ifthey failed,
they would surely be destroyed. The officer
said to them, ''Now, my fine fellows, you
have got to 90 it. The longer you look at it
the less you will like it. At them, and they
will scamper."
The men gave cheer and ran forward
TIE mptinecrs did not wait for them. They
fed right and left, in every direction, as if a
thuderbolt had fallen amongst them.
Just so our troubles and temptations van
ish, if we rush forward, with brave heart
obeying God, and following Christ, our Cap
;aia, while if we wait, and hesitate and daily
and delay, we loose she victory and share the
towards fate.

And grid the gospel armor on,
