Word with Young Men.

1t is as easy to be a rich man as
poor one. Half the energy displayed
in keeping ahead that is required to
catch up when behind, would save
credit, give more time to attend to bus
mess, and add to the profit and repu-
tation of those who work for gain.
Honor your engagements. II you
promise to meet man or do thing
at certain moment, be ready at the
appointed time. If you go on bust
ness, attend promptly to the matter in
hand, then as promptly go about your
business.
Do not stop to tell stories In bust
ness hours.
II you have place of business, be
found there when wanted No man
can get rich by sitting around stores
and saloons. Mover fool ON bust
ness matters. Have order, system.
regularity, liberality, promptness. Do
not meddleiin business You know moth
ing of. Never buy any article you do
not need, simply because it is cheap,
and the man who needs it will take it
out in trade. Trade IS money.
Strive to avoid harsh words and per
sonalities. Do not kick every stone
in the path; more miles can be made in
a day by going steadily on than by
Stopping to kick. Pay as you go. A
man of honor respects his word as he
does his bond. Aid, but never beg
Help others when you can. but never
give what you cannot afford to, simply
because it is fashionable. Learn to say
no! No necessity for swapping it out
dog.fashion, but say it firmly and re-
spectfully.
Have but few confdents, and the
fewer the better.
Use your own brains rather than
those of others Learn to think and
act for yourself. Be vigilant. Keel
rather ahead than behind the times
Young man, cut this out, and i
there be folly in the argument, let Vi
know.

A Pernicious Habit.

It is remarkable to see the deep anx-
iety there is upon the part of idlers
and loafers to see icork going .for,0ard
II they happen to see one man at work,
the whole tribe will collect round him
in five minutes, to see the work we'll
done, and to offer suggestions and in
slructions as to hotO 1T should be done.
Ii dozen or more men be engaged
in any laborous occupation, there are
generally twice the number of idlers
collected at the spot to see what is
going on, and it is remarkable what q
deep interest they seem to take in hay
ing the job completed.
Our attention has been called to this
subject by case in point: A stone
mason was engaged on Monday in
chiseling out stone steps for the front
of our office, and during the day there
was an average attendance of .fCe per.
sons looking on, to see the job well
done, and just s.xty-nne persons stop
ped to see the job, and stay and hour
or so, for company.
By the way, lOdf0g has.fbecome nj
intolerable bore, and a few Sc hon,

another, should be- den sefeu at asa

SmOking--"Isn't it Worse for a
Man?'' 1- aaa

1t is two years since left off the use
of tobacco. ! certainly did enjoy my
cigar. l prided myself on my fine Ha
vanas, and might have been seen al
most any morning with one in my
mouth, walking down to business and
putting away in most comfortable
manuer.
Why left off was this: l had a
little son about six years of age. He
almost always hurried to be ready to
walk down with me as far as his school.
His bright face and extended hand
were always welcome, and he bounded
along beside me chatting as only such
dear little fellows can. The city has
in it many uncared for boys, whose
chief delight seems to be to pick up
pieces of discarded cigars and broken
pipes, and with their hands in their
pockets, to puff away in very inele
giant manner. One morning it seemed
as if little Edgar and l met great
many of those juvenile smokers. !
became very much disgusted, and
pointing them out to little Edgar as
sad warnings of youthful delinquency,
talked quite largely and said the au
thorities ought to Interfere and put a
stop to such public nuisance.
A little voice, soft aud musical came
up to me as gave an extra pull from
my superb Havana A bright little face
was upturncd and the words, ''Isn't
it worse for man, father" came to
my ears. | looked down on the little
fellow at my side, when his timid eve
fell, and the color mounted on his
boyish cheek, as if he feared he had
said something bold and uniting.

"Good morning, Squire"

= The opening of the European and
North American Railroad will furnish
continuous railroad communication
from Halifax to San Francisco, with
the exception of q gap of seventy five
miles between Amhurst and Truro,
which is expected TO be finished in Ju-
ly, 1872. 1t is proposed in Europe to
construct or perfect, by a union of
lines already constructed, a continu
Gus route Of travel by which the jour-
ney may be accomplis he'd from Lon
don to Bombay without change of cars !;
aud it IS estimated tn at the trip may
be made in precisely five days. sixteen
hours and forty six minutes, thong h
in case of unusual d tention, it may
be necessary to add quarter or half
hour to this time The contemplated
route is by way of Dover Straits, thro
France aud the Mount Gents tunnel by
existing lines to Trieste, and thence
through Austria, Turkey, Persia, and
Beloochistan to Kurrs chez, and so on
to Bombay. To complete an unbro
ken line of rail, it will be necessary
to tunnel the Straits of Dover, pro
iect which has for some time received
the attention of engineers, and which
has been favorably reported on again
and again by competent authorities
Recent investigations have led to the
belief on the part of some engineers,
that the tunnel could be opened to
travel in two or three years, instead
of requiring nine ore ten for the work,
as was at first supposed; and simi
lar reduction has been made in the es-
innate of the cost, originally set at ten
million pounds sterling. Geologiets
say that the tunnel will run for the
whole distance through gray chalk
that can be scooped out as easily as
Dutch cheese. The di tance is about
twentv-eight miles. The Mont Gents
tunnel is not quite eight miles long,
and was touri cen years in process al
construction, costing over S15,o00,-
900 The HeosaC Tunnel, in Massa
chnsetts, will be little less than five
miles long; but it is being bored
through flinty granite rock. much hard
er than that penetrated by the Mont
Gents excavation, and has been longer
under way, though the work has not
been steadily prosecuted on it. 1t is
not Improbable that tunnel uniting
England and France may yet be ear
ried through but the work may re
ouire more time and a greater expehdi
ture of money than the latest estimates
call for.-N. Y. San,

The sorrows of ayoung widow are

following extracts from a letter writ
ten by lady TO the Home journal ::
Do you know, girls, what it is to be a
widow? 1t is to be ten times more
open to comment and criticism than
any demoiselle could possibly be
Itis to have men gaze as you pass,
first at you, then at your black dress,
and then at your widows cap, until
yo or sensitive nerves quiver under the

person say: Il wonder how long
she will wait before she marries again -
and another one answers: Until she
gets good chance, suppose" 1t is
now and then to meet { lance ofreal
sympathy, generally from the poorest
and humblest woman that you meet,
and feel your eyes fill at the token so
rare, t! at it is, alas unlocked for. 1t
is to have your dear, fashionable
friends condole with you after the fol
lowing fashion: "Oh, well, it is a
dreadful loss: we know you feel it,

You will be sure to marry again, and

Singular Case OF Female Adventure, Dc.
yOtiOn and Death.

One of tho most remarkable in
stances of woman's attachment to
man and heroism under adversity
camc to our notice to-day. TO be-
gin at the commencement, we will
state that in 1860, n young lady in
the city Of Auburn, N. Y, tie daugh-
ter of wealthy parents, cloped with a
young man named Niles, a railroad
engineer, and both proceeded to
Cleveland, Ohio, and afterwards to
Toledo. Thoy were pursued by m
intnrialed brother Of tho young lady
and ip tho latter place, to avoid de-
lection, after the marriage ceremony
had been performed, the young lady
arrayed horsclf in male attire. In
this disguise, and while selling ap
pies, she passed her brother several
times on the street without recognition
on his part. Shortly afterward early
in the war, the two went south to
Nashville, Tennessee, where Niles
