What VIII He Become {?

n NHlS question is often asked by
a parents in regard to their sons, and
by the friends many young men. And,
although there is no definite rule for as
certalnlng, we may get some idea of what
young man will become by observing
his actions and works.
Solomon said, many centuries ago, that
"even child is known by his work
whether it be good or whether it be
evil" Therefore, when you see boy
slow to go to school, Indifferent about
learning, and glad of every opportunity
to neglect his lessons, you may take it
for granted that he will be blockhead
When you see a boy anxious to spend
money, and who spends every cent as
soon as he gets it, you may know that he
will be spendthrift
When you see boy boarding up his
pennies and unwilling to part with them
to any good purpose, you may set it down
that he will be miser.
When you see boy willing to taste
strong drink, you may rightfully suppose
that he will become a drunkard.
When a boy is disrespoctful to his pa
rents, disobediont to his teacher, and un-
kind to his friends and playmates, it is
sign that he will never be Of much account.
When you see boy looking out for
himself,and unwilling to share good things
with others, it is a sign that he will grow
up selfish man.
When you hear a boy using profano
language, you may take it for sign that
he will become a wicked and proAigate
man.
When you see boys rude to each other,
you may know they will become disagree
able men.
When you see boys pouting and grum-
bling when told to do anything, and always
displeased when they have any work to
perform, it is sign that they will be
ood-for-nothing men.
But when you see boys that are kind
and obliging to each other, obedient and
respectful to their parents, attentive to
their studies and duties, it is a sign that
they will become good and useful men.
heu you see DOy that loves his
Bible, and is well acquainted with it, it
is sign of a future blessing from AL
mighty God.
When you see boy that stays away
from the theaters, grog-shops, bathrooms
and gambling-houses, it is sign that he
Will grow up man in principle, knowl-
edge, and goodness.
When you see boy practising the
virtues of morality and Christianity,
you may know that he will become an
honor to himself and family, useful to
his country, and the glory of his Maker.
Although great changes sometimes
take place in the character, these signs,
as general rule, hold good.

Ba5- There is, or was, recently living
in Penobscot county, Maine, a centena-
rian negro, by the name of Van Meter
He was once called as a witness before
the County Court, then held by a rather
aged official, Judge Perham. The law
yers on each side, by questioning and
cross-questioning, had pumped the negro
pretty dry, and got him into a state of ex-
trcme perplexity. The judge, in kind
ness, thought he would interfere, and put
some plain questions for Van Meters re-
lief. The negro, not approaching the
motive, and thinking the game of cross
questions was still to continue, broke out
with beseeching look to the bench =
" Don't you meddle nor make in this bu-
siness, old grandsir; I've got MS much as
| can do tend to those men down here"
The Judge subsided, and the negro kept
dark as to any further answers.

GOOD LIFE.

He liveth long who liveth we'll;
All else is life but flung away;
He liveth longest who can tell
fgood things truly done each day.
Then I'LL each hour with what will last;
Buy up the moments as they go;
The life above when this is past
Is the ripe fruit of life below.
Sow love, and taste its fruitage pure;
SOW peace, and reap its harvest bright
Sow sunbcams on the rock and moor,
And find harvest-home of light.

COMMERCLAL.
NEW YORK MARKET.
New YORK, april Il

New YORK, april II, iS7i
Money has been somewhat stringent through
the week, from an attempt by spectators to
produce lookup for their own purposes. The
receipts Of money from the interior have in
creased, thus apparently defeating the scheme
for the time being, and the market is easier to-
day. Governments are firm and trifle higher,
and the speculative feeling in the railway list
continues, the leading stocks having advanced,
and to-day The feeling is more buoyant than
for sometime past The financial situation
both in New York and London, is IN some
what unsettled state, the former owing to do
mestic causes in connection with the financial
policy OF the Government, and the latter to
the fact that nearly all the leading powers are
in the market as borrowers, the amount Of the
Government loans now on the market aggre-
eating $500, ,000, 900. AS London Is the fun
mel through which theee loans must all pass,
the digestive power Of it's financial stomach
will be tried severely. Wheat and flour have
ruled stronger yesterday and to-day than dur
ing last week, and prices close about the same
as at last report Latest cable represent the
Liverpool market as strong and advancing
Corn seems on the downward grade indicating
a permanent decline, being 5@6c of on the
week. The Liverpool market is lower, Hops
are firm at 699c for Western. in Philadelphia
New York and Wisconsin hops are quoted al
6@12c.

From the DAILY TELEGRAPH.

/
Among the various manufacturing establish.
ments in Kalamazoo, we notice that recently
started by the house of Sehgman & Co., 10s
Main street They employ already over fifty
hands, making up clothing for their store and
jobblng trade and from the large quantity OF
piece goods and trimmings they are now re-
ceiving, we should infer that they mean bust
ness. Mr.. Selgman, senior, is familiar with
that branch OF business for he has carried on
the same in Rochester. N. Y, over twenty
years, and having chosen this town for his res
idence and invested in real estate, he feels like
helping to make Kalamazoo prosperous place
as far as in his power.
We understand that they have employed a
flrst-class cutter and are prepared to cut and
make garments to order and do cutting at very
reasonable rates. They save paying manu-
featuring profit, aud claim that they are con-
sequently enabled to sell cheaper than any
other clothing establishment in town We
want live men, and we trust that our citizens,
in looking to their own interest, will encourage
the enterprise.

EXTENSION OF NORTH STREET.-A petition
has been In circulation asking for the exten-
SION OF North Street, from Gremps Street
across one block to Kalamazoo Street. We
think such an extension would be good thing.
as from Kalamazoo street there is street
running eastward, and the opening Of street
across one block will place continuous street
along the north line Of the original village
plat, from the terminus Of the Monroe or
Black River road to the town line, and will be
found great convenience.

SING TO NE.
BY RUsTIch.
Sing to me, when the morning breaks,
With it's flush OF amber light,
Sweet strains, soft as wind-harp makes,
When swept by zephyr's fight.
Low notes OF JOY,
Tender and coy,
Like the kiss Of departing night.
Sing to me, when the bright noon glows
In it's strength, with dazzling pow'r
A song, whose ringing concord flows
Full, like the sheen Of the hour.
A joyful lay,
or thanks for day,
And the noontde's glorious dow'r,
Sing to me, when the twilight folds
It's purple wings in the west;
Such whispered melody, as holds
The soul in trapce-like rest.
Gliding and light,
AS treads the night,
When it comes to the worn guest.
Sing to me, when the midnight still,
Shrouds the dead day like pail;
In solemn tones, subdued, which thrill
The heart, like an angels call.
Sustained and sure,
Dulcet and pure,
Freeing the mind from earthly thrall.
