A Word to Young Men.

1t is as easy to be good as to be poor.
Half the energy displayed in keeping
ahead that is required to catch up when
behind, would save credit, give more
time to attend to business, and add to
the profit and regulation of those who
work for gain. Be prompt. Keep
your word. Honor your engagements.
If you promise to meet a man, or do
certain thing at a certain time be ready
at the appointed moment. If you go
out on business attend promptly to the
matter in hand, then as promptly at
tend to your own business. Do not
stop to tell stories in business hours. If
you have place of business be there
when wanted. No one can get rich by
sitting around stores and saloons. eNev-
er fool on business matters. Have Or
der, system, regularity, liberality and
promptness. Donot meddle with bus
iness you know nothing of. Never. buy
an article you do not need simply be-
cause it is cheap and the man who sells
it will take it out in trade. Trade is
money. Strive to avoid harsh words
and personalities. Do not kick every
stone in the path; more miles can be
made in day by going steadily on
than 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 tOj simply
because it is fashionable. Learn to say
no; no necessity for swapping it out in
dog fashion, but say it firmly and re-
spectfully. Have but few confidants,
and the fewer the better. Use your
own brains rather than those of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself. Be
vigilant. Keep ahead rather than be-
hind the times. Young man cut this
out and if there is folly in the argu-
ment letus know. II Pe'aiesato' Her

attempt the ascent of one of the high

So decided in his temperate opinions

pastor of McConnellsville, Pa, that
when the subscription books for his
support were opened, he instructed the
deacons as follows:9 To receive no
money on subscriptions from families,
any part of whose income is derived
from the sale of intoxicating liquors; to
mark all subscriptions as paid, and
charge the sum to his account; and II
the amount allowed him assalary could

sources amounted to. 'ui "al q,

A long time ago a minister who had
two deacons in his congregation given
to sinful ways, preached a very prac..
tical sermon, but without thinking OF
them. During the delivery of his dis
course he took occasion to say. Liar,
stand on your feet" and, to his amaze
ment, one of the deacons stood up and
remained standing until the exhortation
was concluded. It so happened that
the next paragraph commenced with
these words: "Let those addicted to
double dealing stand forth. !" The dea-
con who had already arisen looked over
to the other deacon, and whispered,

Mf. Sumner did, when he rose in the
Senate to tell his successor as Chairman
of the Committee ON Foreign Relations
what could be expected of him in the

was an exhibition of petty spite, which
throws much light on the personal diff

Miss Nilsson

From the Peoria tIil.) Review, March 6. =
Lem Wiley returned from Jackson
ville,. last night. His description of
travelling with the Nilsson troupe is
quite funny. Brignoli speaks Italian;
Strakosch, French; Nilsson, the lam
guage of her native county. When they
address. .Brignoli, they talk, Italian,
when they speak to ,StrakOsch, in
French, and to Nilsson in Swedish tom
que. When the principal singers don't
want Brignoii to understand them,
they talk in English.
At Havana a poor man entered the
car with a pair of white mice. Nilsson
bought them, and paid five dollars for
them. She amused herself the rest of
the way, allowing them to run over
her dress.

complained of feeling tired, and watch
ed him take up the car cushion and ar.
range her q bed. After about half an
hours work he completed his struct-
ure, and announced that it was ready.
She thanked him, saying that she had
no idea that he was taking all that
trouble for her, as she had not the
slightest desire to lie down.
She spoke'o of her purchase in Peoria,
and that she would improve it, and that
it was good investment any way,
since the property would always be
worth what she gave for it. From
what Wiley heard, he is induced to
think the elegant French villa and the
permanent residence here are rather
castles i'm the air then substantial reali-
ties. She is very kind hearted toward
the cOuntrymen. Our readers will re-
member the old man who played the

She found him in Cincinnati, where
he was wretehedly poor, but he wasa
Swede and appealed to herfor assis-
tanee. She found out that he could
play the flute, though poorly. She ac-
cordingly announced to Strakoseh that
she must have a flute accompaniment
in order to sing that piece; of course,
no one could play the flute except her
new friend; consequently his service
had to be engaged at handsome salary.
All Strakosch could do was to put this
piece in every programme and keep the
old man playing ever night in order to
utilize him. lElil-[ -.r
