To YoUNG MEN-Young man, if you
wish to become somebody in the world,
and hold a respectable position in society,
do not stand on the street corners or in
front of saloons-do not smoke constantly
cheap cigars, or chew tobacco remember
young ladies don't wish to have their
sweet lips pressed by mouths which are
saturated and shrivelled by tobacco juice;
and when they swallow politely the
smoke which has passed through your
lungs and throat, impregnated with any
bronchial affection you may have, and
out again, the thought is loathing to a
refined lady. Young man, do not De
indolent and take your mothers money to
buy stove pipe" hats to wear little on
one side, and after.shirking work yourself,
OF doing it so badly that you have been
discharged, do not look with contempt
on the honest mechanic who passes you
in the street and condescendingly nod
to your tailor and shoemaker whom you
owe. Remember he earns his money,
while you beg yours or borrow where
you cannot pay. Think Of yourself and
compare your present style to their man,

In RUssIA.-Little grain is raised in
Russia, above St. Petersburg, and that
little, so damp is the climate, must be kiln
dried for preservation. In some localities
barley is sown as far north as Mesen ;
but it is only three or four times in a
century that the season is warm enough
and long enough to bring it to perfection,
and it is usually cut as fodder for the
cattle. All these latitudes depend mainly
for their cereals upon the richer harvests
of the south but their rivers are stocked
with fish, myriads of wildfow find a
home in the woods and by the lakes,
mushrooms abound, and the swamps are
filled with cranberries and whortleberries
that ripen despite the frosty air. The
wealth of this region, from the Gulf OF
Bothnia to the Oural, is in its forests and
fisheries. The people are wood-cutters,
hunters, fishers, workers in metals, char
coal-burners, preparers of tar and pitch
and potash, makers of mats and ofvarious
utensils from the bark OF the linden, and
of coarse linen and cordage from the flax
and hemp of their low-lying fields.
