As a general rule, the best place for
q young man to begin life il right
where he is. He need not go hun-
dred or three hundred, or thousand
miles away from home to try the
world; that particular spot where he
lives is part of the world, and jus,
as good place to try as some other
particular spot three hundred miles
of. In the Easter: States where So
ciety is settled, and things change but
little, where the business 10 held In .
fixed channel, and certain families
are supposed to have a prescriptive
right to do everything that is done
there is not much inducement for
Young man to remain at home, unless
he possesses the genius and enter
prise.to break through the tradition
hat hampers him; but no such condi-
ton of things exists out West; here
everything is new, fresh and plastic,
and a Young man may do his part in
moulding things to his purposes. II
is very common mistake for young
eters, who have not yet buttcd their
tender heads against the hard angles
OF the world, to imagine that they
possess superior talent, if they only
had an opportunity to exhibit it.
If they live on farm, there is no
chance to show their genius; if they
live in a country town, it is entirely
too small to spread their wings in.
They ycarn for great city, where
talents are appreciated, aud imagine
there is the field for them to rise to
cmincnce and wealth:and yet they had
better stay where they arc, and
make their beginning in the locality
where they were raised. lfthey really
possess genius or special aptitudcs,
may first develop them, aud test the
metal they are made Of in the limit
ed sphere OF their native place, and
if the experiment proves satisfactory,
afterwards transfer them to q wider
sphere of action. Thousands Of Young
men who go to great cities to try
the world, find such cities too much
for them, and learn too late that il
would have been better for them 10
have made their trial in ali humber
and safer sphere.

SONG OF THE MYSTIC.
BY FATHER RYAN,

walk down the alley Of Silence
Own the dim, yoiceless Valley-alone.
And hear not the fall of u footstep
Around me-save Gods and my own;
And the hush of my heart is as holy
As hovers where Angels have flown!
Long ago-I was weary Of voices
Whose music my heart could not win;
Long aso, was weary of noises
That fretted my soul with their din;
Long ago was weary of places
Where met but the Human-and Sin.
walked thro' the world with the worldly;
Icrave what the world never gave;
And said: 'In the world, each Ideal,
That shines like q ssar on life's wave,
Is tossed on the shores of the Real
And sleeps like y dream in grave.r
And still did pine for the Perfect.
And sill found the False with the True;
sought mid the Human for Heaven
But caught mere glimpse of its Blue,
And wept when the clouds Of the Mortal
Yelled even that GLIMPSE from my view

HOME READING.

One OF the most pleasant and
noblcst duties of the head of the
family is to furnish its members with
good reading. In times which are
past it was considered enough to
clothe and feed and shelter family.
This was the sum of parental duty.
But lately it has been found out
that wives and children have minds,
so that it becomes necessity to edu-
cate the children and furnish reading
for the whole household. 1t has been
found out that the mind wants food
as we'll as the body, and that it wants
to be sheltered from the pitiless
storms of error and vice by the
guarding and friendly roof of intelli-
gencc and virtue.
An ignorant family in our day is an
antiquated institution. 1t smells OF
the musty past. 1t is dark spot
which the light of modern sun OF
intelligence has not reached.
Let good reading 60 into a home,
and the very atmosphere of that
home gradually but surely changes.
The boys begin to grow ambitious,
to talk about men, places, principles,
books, the past and the future. The
girls begin to feel new life opening
before them i'll knowledge, duty and
love They 500 now felds of ucor,,,
ness and pleasure. And SO the fam.
lily changes, and out from its number
will go intelligent men and women,
to fill honorable places and be useful
members Of society. Let the torch
Of intelligence be lit in every house.
hold. Let the old and the young vie
with each other in introducing new
and useful topics Of investigation, and
in cheering love of reading, study
and Improvement. =-.---.
