excellence as to render comment unnecessary.

the Company to furnish the best Concentrated

In this very prosperous Christian nation
Or two young girls. with some inward

A sfAurlful REFLECTION.

Bulwer eloqnently says: 4 cannot
believe that earth is mans abiding
place. It cannot be that our life is
cast up by the ocean of eternity to
float moment upon its waves and
to sink into nothing less! Else,
why is it that the glorious aspira-
tons which leap like angela from
the temple Of our hearts, are forever
wandering about unsatisfed? Why
is it that the rainbow and clouds
come over us with beauty that is
not of earth, and then pass off and
leave us to muse upon their faded
loveliness? Why is it that the stars,
who hold their festival around the
midnight throne, are set above the
grasp of our limited faculties, for
ever mocking us with their unap-
proachable glory? And, finally,
why is il that forms of human
beauty are presented to our view
and then taken from us, leaving the
thousand streams of our affections
to flow back in Alpine torrents upon
our hearts? We are born for a
higher destiny than that of earth.
There is a realm where the rainbow
never fades; where the stars will
spread before us like islands that
slumber on the ocean; and where
the beings that pass before rs like
shadows. will stay in our presence
forever.

now 70 KEEP A SITUATION.

The following bit of good advice
is from the Working Man, and is
worthy the attention of all our
readers:
"Lay it down as a foundation rule,
that you will be faithful in that
which is least Pick up the loose
nails, bits Of twine, clean wrapping
paper, and put them in their places.
Be ready to throw in an odd half
hour OF hours time, when it will be
an accommodation, and don't seem
to make merit of it. Do it heartily.
Though not a word be said, be sure
your employer will make note Of
it. Make yourself indispensable to
him, and he will lose many of the
opposite kind before he will part
with you.
These young men who watch the
time to see the very second their
working hour is up-who leave, no
matter what state the work may be
in. at precisely the instant who
calculate the eztea amount they can
slight their work. end yet not re-
proved-who are lavish Of their en-
ployer's goods. win always be the
first to receive notice that times are
dull, and their services are no longer
needed" 80 r B1

Public Education.

Everybody praises an intelligent
community because education is re-
garded as public benefactor The
hopeful immigrant first wishes to
know the educational facilities of
his newly chosen location. This is
all natural. for the blessings Of edu-
cation are not easily over-estimated.
It blesses the innocent youth in i'm
planting in the heart the germs Of
progress, thought and development.
It inspires the young man to hope
full exertion, knowing that the
highest achievements of life are
gained by development Of head and
heart.
Education lessons crime and pro-
notes virtue, and only by its benign
influence may the responsibilities OF
life be fully understood or its re-
quirements fulfilled. Especially is
it the duty Of the American citizen,
not only to see that himself and
children are educated, but that its
blessings are extended to all alike.
Man is, by Providential design, a
dependent being, and he cannot
cheat others without cheating him
self. He may, through philosophy
of pure sel6shness, imagine he can
enjoy the good things of life and
withhold them from others, but
this is wrong and vain, and will tell
somewhere. If he chooses to leave
all around him in ignorance and
darkness, he entails the curse Of an
ignorant community upon his pos
terity. His children must build
penitentiaries and jails, support
paupers and make laws TO prevent
crimes which the parental head, by
a wise course, might have done
much1 % avert. Whoever is pursu-
ing this policy is not studying wise
ly the interests of those who are to
come after him and cannot escape
censure. More severely would we
censure him. who, having the OPP
portunities, neglects to improve
them in educating his own posterity.
No one has the moral righSto let
his children grow up in society ig-
norant, idle and vicious. Il is an
imposition upon neighbors, commu-
mites and especially upon the prin-
ciples Of free government. All are
under solemn obligations to con-
tribute to the public good and this
cannot be done by neglecting. any
OF the means which develop the es-
sential elements of a good citizen.

grow up idle. ignorant and vicious,
