Be A MAN.-Foolish spending is the
father of poverty. Be not ashamed
of work. Work for the best salary or
wages you can get, but work for half
price rather than be idle. Be your
own master, and do not let society or
fashion swallow up your individuality
hat, coat and boots DO not eat up
or wear out all you can earn, compel
selfish body to spare something for
profits saved. Be stingy toyour own
appetite, but merclul to others ne
cessities. Help others and ask not
help for yourself. Sec that you are
proud Let your pride be OF the
right kind. BE too proud to be lazy ;
too proud to give up without conquer

wear coat you cannot afford to buy ;
too proud to be in company that you
cannot keep up with in expenses, too
proud to lie, or steal, or cheat too

wanted it arranged and carried out
according to her own wishes; that
she was leaving enough behind for

she said "no," she wanted this affair
all round, no matter what il cost or
what time IL took she would not be
buried in anything else. Laughter.
She said also that if she died before
this coffin was ready they would have
to keep her until it was ready, and the
expression she used was to have II
trimmed in splendid style, inside, and
have such coffin got up as was never
seen in New York before, and proba-

STUDY To study successfully, the
body must be healthy, the mind at
case, aud timc managed with great
economy Persons who study many
hours in the day, should perhaps
have two separate pursuits going on
at the same timc--one for one part of
the day,and the other for the other and
these of as opposite nature as posi-
blo-that tho mind may be refreshed
by change, and all the bad effects OF
lassituda avoided There is one piece
of advice, in lifo of study, wo think
no one will object and that is, every
now and then to. be completely idle,
TO do nothing at all indeed, this part
of life of study is commonly consid.

rest, that 1t has almost obtained an
exclusive preference over those other
parts Of tho system, with which we

INDUSTRY Man must have occupa.

price Of sleep and appetite, Of health
and enjoyment. The very necessity
which ovorcomes our natural sloth is
a blessing. The whole world does
not contain even briar or a thorn
whicL Nature could have spared. We
are happier with the sterlity, which
we can overcome by industry, than
we could have been with spontaneous
plenty and unbounded prolusion.
The body and the mind are improved
by the toll that fatiguos them. The

the pleasure which il bestows It's

You ask me why so oft, father,
The tear rolls down my cheek,
And think II strange that should own
A grief | dare not speak;
But oh, my soul is very sad,
My brain is almost Wild;
IL breaks my heart TO think that
Am called q drunkard's child.
My play-mates shun me now, fathor,
Or pass me by with scorn,
Because my drose Is ragged, and
My shoes are old and torn;
And il heed them not, "therc goes
The drunkard's girl" they cry;
oh then, how much I wish that God
Would only let me die.
You used to love me once, father,
And we had bread to eat;
Mamma and | were warmly clad,
And life seemed very sweet.
You never spoke unkindly then,
Or dealt the angry blow;
Oh father dear, It's sad to think
That rum hath changed you so.
Do not be angry now, father
Because tell you this,
But let me feel upon my brow,
Once more thy loving kiss;
And promise me, those lips no moro
With drink shall be dehlcd,
That from life Of want and woe,
Thoult save thy weeping child.
