MUSICIAN English writer says; " | believe
that there is taste for music in every child born
and that il it disappears in after-life, it is for the
want of cultivation. Was there ever yet q baby
that could not be sung to sleep2 However this
may be, to play some instrument is of more value
to man than at first sight appears. To the
character it is a refner. Music is the medicine
of the soul 1t smooths the wrinkles of hard
life of business, and it lifts us from thoughts Of
intrigue, enterprise, anxiety, hatred, and what
not to a calmer, more heavenly frame of mind.
To man himself, therefore, the power to play
is of use. He may not always have sister,
wife or daughter to sing or play to him ne may
not always be within reach of the opera and
concert rooms. Then, too, half the enjoyment
of music is gone, when you cannot enjoy it as

AMERICAN STREET CARS ABRoAD.-During the
past three or four yeaas the builders of street
cars in the neghboring cities have enjoyed
large and profitable business in filling orders
from all parts of the world, and the demands
from foreign countries is constantly increasing.
Cars built in this city are now used in Belgium,
London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Birkenhead and
many othes of the principal cities of the United
Kingdom, Australia, etc, and recently propo-
sails have been invited from a Russian company
for cars to run on the streets of Moscow. But
our market for street cars is not confined to Eu-
rope. Within the past year or two several horse
railroads in Brazil have been supplied with cars
built in New York factories. Other South Amer
ican countries have also adopted the horse rail-
road system, and one large establishment in this
city has furnished the cars for six lines in Blu
enos Ayres, four in Rio Janerio, two in Bolivia
and four in Para and Pernambuco. Orders have
been filled for Chile and Peru sand others are in
hand for San Paulo.-N. y. 7p6une.

WHAT YoU Owe THE WORLD
''Ihc world owes me living" said II
man, while educating himself to be
nobody. 1t is Il great mistake. The
world IS not debtor TO you, but you
are 4 debtor TO the world, and you can
not work too hard to discharge your OBJ
legation. 1t not only does owe you any
thing, but it is not going to pay you
anything except rs you earn it. And
just as fast as you do that, it will pay,
not wealth necessarily, and not what you
call success or rcpute, but the honest re-
turn for your labors. We are none of
us going 10 thrive except by work-not
by waiting for this or that, not by look
ing to this and the other man, not by
expecting TO be lifted, boosted, TO success.
There are MicawberS the world over
men waiting for the world 10 get ready
10 pay the obligations they supposed it
TO be under, men rs miserably useless as
they are contemplate. The fact is, this
is very busy world-a bit selfish if you
willard too thoroughly absorbed in
various and vary ing interests to think
much about individual men, young or
old. ANY Of us is Of very little conse-
quencc and, ii you would like healthy
snub 10 your estimate Of yourself, shut
yourself up Il week and see how superb
ly indifferent the world is as to your ab
scncc; and with what marvellous facility
1t accommodates itself TO your loss. The
fly upon the cOach-wlecl in the fable is
not more insignificant. The only thing
that gives significance TO you is your
work, your industry and fidelity.

himself rs one of those young men OF
Maine, who WAS foolish enough at twenty
one to leave home, good farm where
he was needed, and start for the city to
seek his fortune, with bright anticipations
OF city life, and an easy fortune in view
But alter one years experience he saw
things in a different light, and found
that cramped life in city boarding
house was no place for him. On the
Old farm, he could hitch up horse and
take Il drive, afternoon or evening, AMI
no lost time, no ''livc spot for team
AMI, when 1t came TO social enioyments
he found his down-East acquaintance
much better than lie could get in the
city. SO on the whole he concluded lie
had rather he free man in the country,
than slave in the city, AMI lie packed
up and started for home, wiser man
than when lie left He found all glad
TO see him back again, and a friend OF
tercd 10 assist him il he would buy
farm 50 on the first of April, 1866, (he
being twenty-five years Of age) lie bought

that time he has been hard at work, and

would have been had hc remained i'm the

WHERE TIE SUN NEVER SETs.-Mr
Campbell thus describes what he saw
while standing on cliil enc thousand
feet high, in Norway:
The ocean stretched away in silent
vastness at our feet; the sound of the
waves scarcely reached our airy lookout
away in the north the old sun swung
low along the horizon, like the slow beat
OF the pendulum in the tall clock of our
grandtathcr's parlor corner. When both
hands came together at twelve, at mid
night, the full round orb hung trium-
phantly above the wave 4 bridge OF
gold running due north spanned the wa
ter between Us and him. There he shone
IN silent majesty which knew no setting.
We involuntariIy took oif our hats, and
no word was said Combine, if you can,
the most brilliant sunrise and sunset You
ever saw, and lis beauties will pale be
tore the gorgeous coloring which now lit
up the ocean, heavens, and mountain.
In hall an hour the sun swung up per-
ceptlbly on his beat, the colors changed
to those Of morning, fresh breeze rip
pied over the flood, one songster after an
other piped mp in the grove behind us
We hal Slid INTO another day.

But when you get 4 p!ace-and there

they cannot do without you. Ee willing
to take low price at first, no matter
what the work is, if it be honest work.
Do it well do it the very best you can.
Begin at the very lowest round of the
