To Boys and Young Men.

Boys and young men. you are the
architects of your own fortunes. Rely
upon your own strength of body and
soul. Take for your star, selfreliance,
faith. honesty and industry. Inscribe
on your banner, !" Luck is fool, Pluck
is q hero" Don't take too much adj
vice; keep at your helm and steer your
own ship, and remember that the great
art of commanding is to take fair
share of the work. Don't practice too
much humility. Think well of your
self. Strike out. Assume your own
position. Rise above the envious and
Jealous. Fire above the mark you in
tend to hit. Energy, invincible deter
mination, with right motive, are the
levers that move the world. Don't
drink. Don't chew. Don't smoke.
Don't swear. Don't deceive. Don't
marry until you can support a wife.
Be in earnest. Be selfreliant. Be gen.
erous. Be civil. Read the papers.
Make money and do good with it. Love
truth and virtue. Love your country
and obey its laws. If this advice be i'm.
plicitly followed by the young men OF
the country, the millennium is near at
hand.

An AnecdOte of Balzac.

When he travelled abroad-as he often
did to verify the most trifing particu-
lar which he might be introducing into
one of his romances-some money, OF
course, was necessary. His mode OF
paying the positions in a country
where he knew neither the language
nor the tariffs, is thoroughly character
istic of him. ~ did not know word
of the language of the country" says
he. "nor did | know the value of its
current coin, but do know the human
heart. which is the same in all coun-
tries, and l understand physiognomy /;
so this is what did: l had bag which
I filed with small silver money, and
each time that the horses were to be
changed | took this bag in my hand
the position then came to the door of
the carriage; l looked searchingly into
his eyes while dropped into his hand
one coin, two coins, then three, four, or
ever SO many, until at last | saw him
smile. Now as soon as l saw him smile,
| understood that l had given him a
coin too many. Quickly | withdrew
that coin, and my man was paid" This
anecdote shows us Balzac as he was
possessing the simplicity of a child
united with the profoundest insight and
the deepest philosophy. But in small
things wisdom IS apt to oyerreach itself
and we fear that if he had tried
second time this original mode OF set
ting the score, our worthy position
supposing him to be equal in wit to the
ordinary run of his class-wouid have
RETAINED from smiling for an uncon
scionable time.-London Society,".

The Church of England.

The Bishop of Manchester lately said
that if the Church of England is to be
saved it must be by resting upon the
affections of the masses of the people
upon the twenty millions of poor and
not upon the ten thousand rich. The
Bishop pointed out that if the Church
appealed to the masses it must be pre-
pared to receive them when they an
swered the appeal, and he urged that
better accommodation should be at once
provided for the poor. He declared
that pew rents were an abomination, y
and he only accepted them as neces-

IT is stated that when sick persons in
Metz have no hopes of recovery, they
cause themselves to be conveyed across
the frontier in order to die on French
soil.
THE deposit of rock salt reported to

is corroborated. 1t is the first of the

valuable.
THE Austrian Embassy, Belgrave

AT Jacksonville, ILL.,, in 1882, at a

rowed a picayune of Col. Sam. Math-

courthouse, and Woods paid Mathews
the picayune, with interest for forty

RUSSIA is about to inaugurate a new
system of taxation. Hitherto, only
persons liable to military service have
been liable to taxation, SO that the no.
bles and the Government officials have
shifted all burdens of the sort on the
peasantry and the manual laborers.
This extraordinarily unfair disorimina-
ton is to be done away with. Taxation
will hereafter be universal, and mill
tary service very nearly SO.

Utah Jack.

Jack Halyard was jolly tar.
Who loved rowing life:
In every storm he found port,
In every port wife.
A farmer he was bred on land,
And lived like any lord;
But when he shipped and went to sea
He had te live on board.
He liked plain dealing all his life.
But when he plowed the main
he found his work, as well as board,
Were both deal too plain.
The use of ropes, of sails and shrouds,
Of masts and ribs and knees,
Like latitude and longitude,
He mastered by degrees.
He made an observation once
The captain said was true;
He reckoned he was lying still
Nhea they were lying 10.
But he resolved one day to quit
The briny deep for life,
And never more to go to sea,
Except to see his wife.
But sehich wife he should anchor to
For life was not so plain.
He had gal" in Portugal,
Another one in Spain.
Another duck" in Turkey dwelt-
He did not like her rig.
He didn't care fig for her,
Her figure was so big.
Though Fatima was fat, yet she
Was sweet as any flower;
Jacks taste inclined the other way.
To lean-like Pisa's tower.
He roamed through Italy to Rome;
A Nice girl took his fancy,
Then he took in two Sicilys,"
and them he left for Nancy.
And So to cut his true loves not"
This Mormon harum-scarum
Collected all his wives, and went
To Utah with his harem.
Like Lots one wife, should "Utah's" lot
Look back and turn to salt.
With such lot as his, the price
Would make summersault;
And Sal would then be very dear
At any price at all
Saltpetre could not save the saint"
Should such thing befall.
For women, whether salt or flesh,
The "Church's" pillars are:
And Salt Lake saints would let it slide
Without more fresh ones there
