Fill Your Own Place.

1t takes all sorts of characters, says the
late Prof Wilson, to complete this great
world drama, and some body must act
them. In other words, believe that
every man has his place in the world, and
that he was made specially for that place.
1t is only by earnestly filling that place
that he fills his destiny, and answers
the end for which God created him.
Confusion and disappointment only arise
from efforts to get into some other place
than the one for which we are intened.-
The change of our choice is limited by
the character God has given to us, and
the circumstances by which he hath
surrounded us, and which have modified
that character, and developed those
faculties. Each man is created with
certain possibilities which determined the
direction he must 60, and the height to
which he may rise We need not, there
fore, remain in doubt. Our path is SO
plainly marked out for us, that we need
notseek long for it, if we have willing
hearts and willing hands to do it,

To Young Women.

DO not trust to uncertain riches, but
prepare yourselves for every emergency
IN life Learn to work, and be not de-.
pendent on servants TO make your bed i,
sweep your floor, aud mend your clothes.
Above all, do not esteem too lightly those
young men who sustain themselves by
the work of their own hands, while you
favor and receive into your company
those lazy ne'er do-wells, who never lift
finger to help themselves as long as they
can keep body and soul together, and get
funds sufficient to live in fashion.

SUNDAY READING.
No Mistakes in Nature.

How many of all the people in the
world sit down by themselves once in a
lifetime and sincerely thank God that any
one of the breaths they breathe doesn't
kill them And yet, but for the nice
and unvarying proportions with which
the poisonous and the wholesome gases
mingle to form the atmosphere, one
breath might do this. The plague that
once came down on London, by which
mutitudes fell in day, so that the living
were not enough to bury the dead, was
only the result of wrong mingling of
gasses, just as apothecaries' clerks some
times give us oxaltic acid for seidlitz pow
ders
Why shouldn't oxygen lose its vitaliz-
ing property just for one breath, and that
be the end of us? Or, when we eject
the carbon from our lungs, itself deadly
poison, why should it not remain close at
hand to be enhaled at the next inspira-
ton, especially when we repeat the opera
tion something over thirty thousand times
every day?
DR.. Holmes says that walking is CON
tinual falling, and that if the foot was not
put forward at just the right moment to
receive the weight of the body, we should
just SO often find ourselves prone in the
dust. And so with every breath we
breathe, if the provisions were not care
fully applied, would be the occasion of
our sinking into the valley and shadow
of death.
1t is thus that these safeguards are
placed on every hand How could the
merchant trust his ship to the ocean, if
water might at any time lose its density
With how much expectancy could the
farmer sow his seed, if there were no pro-
visions for it to grow up out of the ground
instead of into it IF he might raise corn
when he planted peas, or potatoes might
yield onions, or if all the seed he sowed
might yield nothing, with what courage
could he sow, or with what confidence
could we expect anything to eat?
What put strength in the timber that
supports the roofs over our heads And
after it is put there, why should it remain
there, and thus we sit comfortably day
after day, at our desk, and in our homes,
without feeling continual uneasiness,
lest we find ourselves buried in rubbish
Why is it that we can open our eyes
mechanically every morning, and then
dress ourselves lesurely and thought
lessly, without feeling amazed that every
thing is simply because these provisions
in nature are Gods laws In them He
is continually manifesting His g oodness
and His care. They are thus express
sions of His Providence, and in them we
witness miracles every day?

BsS- The beauty of holy mans life,
says Chalmers, constitutes the most elo-
quent and effective persuasion to religion
which one hnman being can address to
another. We have many ways Of doing
good to our fellow-creatures but none so
effcacious as leading a virtuous, up
right and well-ordersd life. There is an
energy of moral suasion in a good mans
life passing the highest efforts of the
orators genius. The seen but silent
beauty of holiness speaks more eloquently
of God and duty than the lounges of men
and angels Let parents remember this.
The best inheritance parent can be-
queath toa child is virtuous example,
a legacy Of hallowcd rememberance and
associations. The beauty of holiness
beaming through the life Of loved rel
ative or friend. is more effectualy to
strengthen such as do stand in virtues
way, and raise up those that are bowed
down, than precept, command entreaty or
warning. ID.

How He Spelt Cat.

M Il. M, an army surgeon, was very
.IY1 fond of joke (unless perpetra-
ted at his own expense and had, more
over, great contempt for citizen officers,
who were renowned more for their cour-
age than their scholarship. One day, at
mess, after the decanter had performed
sundry perambulations of the table, Cap
tain s., brave and accomplished officer,
and great wag, remarked to the doctor,
who had been somewhat severe in his re-
marks on the literary deficiencies of some
of the new officers

" Yes, know him WE'LL" replied the
doctor )" he is one of the new set But

"No, that's not the way; you've lost

Well" said the doctor, with much pet
ulance of manner, 'how does he spell it?"
Why, he spells it c, a, t." replied S.,
with the utmost gravity of manner, amid
the roar Of the mess, and almost chok-
ing with rage, the doctor sprang to his
feet exclaiming:

The Latest Invention.

4 cigar-making machine has been pro-
duced in Louisville, by medical gentle
man, Dir. NJ. V. MKinney, which, it is
claimed, must revolutionise the cigar
trade. The machine occupies about as
much room as sewing machine, and can
be operated by boy or girl with all ease.
1t makes two cigars at once, and turns
out / 800 day. The cigar comes out
perfect in form and formation, and is
handsomer than the article made by hand.
An expert, industrious cigar maker will
make by hand about / 800 cigars week
for the cheapest cigar manufactured he
gets $ll per thousand for better grade
$l3 per thousand. This machine, is
capable Of doing the work of five men,
and costing $3.50, it is stated, can be run
at an expense of $6 per week, making
the cost of manufacturing 5000 cigars
only SO, where it is now paid 500 The
Louisville Commercial pronounces the
machine perfect success, a truly re-
markable invention.

Nary's Little Lamb.

Mary had little lamb,
Whose snowy fleece was stout,
And filled with ileas that asked her If
Her nanny knew she's out.
One day when Mary went to school,
The lamb felt SO bereft.
That it directly went for her,
And caught her-over the left.
But soon it found its way to school,
AId catching Mary's eye,
1t whisked its tail as il to say
And how is that for high?
The teacher tried to quell the school,
And keep the laughter down,
BY saying that such boisterousness
Would get all over town
And then he told tho little lamb
Such conduct would not do,
When quickly turned the lamb around
And asked him, Widow who9
This made the scholars shout so loud
The teacher grew provoked
And said that hcwould show them ail
Just how the whole thing worked.
And taking there the ferrule down
From on the little shelf,
He drew the lamb aeross his knee
You knew how It's yourself.
