you have done me the honor to name
me, and which l now feel compelled

SMARTNEss.-There is hardly a young
man that goes out into life, who does
not want the reputation of being smart
before he is smart. There is hardly a
single circle in which you see half a
dozen young men, that you do not see
them aping something making believe:
putting on airs" as the saying is.
They wish to have the appearance of
bravery, position, or something else,
which they have not attained. They
are not willing to creep before they walk.
The very beginning of life develops a
tendency in men TO false appearances !;
10 insincerity to an estimation which
is radically unmanly; to desire to have
what does not belong to them what
they have no right to claim by reason of
anything they are, or that they have
been. To be without pretense, to desire
to have only that which you can legit-
imately lay claim to, be it OF praise, of
sympathy, of reputation, of means to
have a manly pride, by which you shall
be the factor of that which is your own
possession-that is thoroughly salutary.
An honest manhood scorns pretense and
appearances. These are the signs of
unripeness, not only, but they are vicious,
bad signs IN child.

SELECT POETRY.
In the Harvest Field.

Glory 10 Him who bids the field
Its blessing 10 our toll TO Yield,
Who giveth much, who giyeth more,
Till store and basket runneth DER;
Thus, ere the golden skies grow dim,
Come, let US sing our harvest hymn.
His finger on the land doth lay
Its beauty stretching far away;
His breath doth MI The opal skies
With grandeur dread to mortal eyes
He gives man harvest from the wild,
And drops the daisies for the child
But oh, how shall we dare draw near?
Such pbwer is yeiled in mlsts ur feat,
What can we be TO One who fllls
The awful silence OF the bills,
Who knows the secrets of the sea
The wild beasts In the forest free
But Lord we know Thee otherwise
A sighted man, with loving eyes,
Toiling along with weary feet,
Such paths ns these among the wheat
Come from the light of Heavens throne
TO call no home on earth Thine own.
o Lord, Thou gittst boGtleoUs spoil
To the poor measure of our toll.
For our few grey, dank sowing days
The glow of auiumn's evening blaze.
And what can we give for the pain
With which Thou sowed immortal grain ?
Nothing-for all we have Is Thine,
Who needest not corn, nor oil, nor wine;
Nothing-unless Thou make us meet
To follow Thee through tarcs and wheat,
And from the storm of wrath and sin
To help Thee bring Thy harvest in.
Good Words

Hands that make Good Bread,

/ own the charms of rounded arms,
OF eyes that loves soft lustre shed,
OF fraven hair, and tresses fair,
or checks that toy with white and red
Ofpouting lips where Cupid dips
The arrows that 10 hearts are sped
Yet none of these my fancy please
Like the bOny hands that make good bread
Some hands have art to move the heart,
BY waking music's sweet appeal;
Some borrow dyes from perfect skies
And, through the canvas, make ne feel
Some make the dress inlr fOrlhs caress,
To win the heart and turn the head;
For me more rare beyond compare,
Are the bony hands that make good bread
Gay maiden, vain the rustling train,
Those jewcled hands so idly crossed,
That idler mind can pleasure find
In every hour ignobly lost
Your jewels shine, your looks are fine,
But III not seek, whenc'er wed,
For jeweled bands or gold and lands
But for bony hands that make good bread
