Help Yourself.

Fight your own battles Hoe your own
row. Ask 90 favors Of any one, and you'll
succeed five thousand times better than one
who is always beseeching some ones infu-
ence Or patronage. No one will ever help
you as you can help yourself, because no one
will be so heartily interested in your affairs.
The first step will not be such long one,
perhaps but carving your own way up the
'ffneuuiain, you make each one lead to anoth-
er, and stand firm in that while you chop
still another cut. Men who have made for
tunes are not those who had FIVE thousand
dollars given them to start with. but boys
who have started fair with weli-earped
dollar or two Men who have acquired
fame have never been thrust into popularity
by pufs begged or paid for, or given in
friendly spirit. They have outsretched
their own hands aud touched the public
heart. Men who win love do their own
wooing, aud I never knew man to fail so
signally as one who induced his aFectionate
grandmama to speak good word for him.
Whether you work for fame, for love, for
money, or for anything else, work with
your hands, and heart and brain. Say L
WILL and some day you will conquer. New

A little JNdiciNgls Praise.

No heart is insensb!e to words of praise,
or the kindly smile of appreciation and
none are utterly above being affected by CEN
sure or blame Children are particularly
sensitive in this respect. Nothing can dis
courage child more than spirit of inces-
SAINT fault finding, and perhaps nothing can
exert more baneful influence upon both
parent and child. Ifyour little one through
the day has been pleasant and obedient, and
you say to him, ".Ny SOC, you have been
good to-day, and it m axes nae happy;" and
if. with more than usual affectiopate en-
brace, you say, Good night, my dear
child" throb of suppressed feeling fills his
breast, and be resolves on always earning
such approval. If your grown son or daugh.
ter has accomplished some difficult piece OF
work rendered you essential assistance or
have climed some steep in the daily drill OF
study or have acquired some new accom-
p!ishment, or added grace; or better than
all, have gained the victory over some be-
setting sin-ackno wledge it, praise them for
it. Let them see by your tenderness the
deep JOY and comfort it gives you Thu'
you will create great incentive to rlgh
conduct, and lay broad foundation for
character which shall be redoent with sue

The First Lover.

Jacob, the last of the Hebrew patriarchs,
is one of the first lovers, in point of time, to
whom We are introduced. Judged by a
modern standard, his conduct 10 the ordina-
ry affairs of life was far from blameless. 1t
was not quite fraternal in him to buy his
older brothers brthrigbs for a ness Of pot
tage, when poor Esau was starving; nor
was it altogether flial to obtain by fraud
from his aged and blind father the blessing
of the frst-born. His loyalty and devotion
to Rachael. however, compensate for many
mental admiration from the lover who serv-
ed fourteen years to obtain the wife of bis
choice and comfortable independence
After serving seven years for his true mis-
tress, and then having her sister Leah put
off upon him by trick, it is as creditab'e
as it is singular that be should have had the
amiability aud patience to repeat his service
for the possession of Rachael. In these
days Jacob would have acted very different
ly, I fear. He would have regarded his
first seven years as entirely lost; would have
quarreled with Leah, even procuring d.
vorce if necessary, and, angry with the
whole Laban family, would have left Ra-
chael, so far as he was concerned, to pine in
single blessedness. Masculine const ancy
must have sadly deteriorated since that good
old time; men now will hardly tarry seven
weeks for any one wife when so many other
wives may be had. Take pattern by jacob,
We unstable lovers, learn to labor and to
wait !

Sick-Roonl Hints.

A sick-room should have pleasant as
pect Light is essential. Blinds and cur
tains may be provided to screen the ewes
too weak to bear full day, but what substi
tute makes up for the absence Of that bless
ed sunshine without which life languishes
The walls should be Of cheerful tint; if
possible, some sort Of door glimpse should
be visible from the bed or chair where the
invalid lies, if it is but the top Of tree and
bit of sky. Eyes which have been ,rav-
cling for long, DULL days over the pattern
Of the paper.hangings. till each bud aud leaf
and quirl is famliar-and hateful-bright-
ened with pleasure as the blind is raised =
The mind wearied Of the grinding battle
with pain and self, fines unconscious re-
freshmeut in the new interest.
All, there is birds shadow fitting across
the pane. The tree.top trembles with soft
rustliDg-a white cloud floats dreamily ever
the blue-and now, 0 delight and Wonder
the bird himself comes in sight and perches
vislbly on the bough, dressing his feathers
and quivering forth few notes of soug -
All the world, then, is not lying in bed be-
cause we are, is not tired of its surroundings,
has not the back-ache F.! What refreshing
thought! And though this glimpse Of an-
other life, the fresh natural life from which
We are shut out-that life which has moth
ing TODD with pills and potions, tip.toe move
ments, whispers, and Doctors boots cleak-
ing in the entry-may cause the hot tears
to rush suddenly into our eyes, it dos US
good, and we begin to say with a certain
tremulous thrill of hope, "When go out
again | shall do"-so and so.
All, if nurses, if friends, knew how irk-
some, how positively harmful, is the same
ness of sickrooln. surely love and skill
would devise remedies. If it were only
bringing in blue flower to day and a pink
one tomorrow hanging fresh picture to
vary the monotony of the wall, or even an
old one in new something, any
thing-it is such infinite relief Small
things and single things suffice. To see
many of his surroundings changed at once
eonfuses an invalid to have one little nav
city at time to vary the point Of observa-
ton, stimulates and cheers. Give him that
you do more and better than if you FLIED
The apartment with fresh objects.
It is supposed by many that flowers
should be carefully kept away from sick peo-
pie, that they exhaust the air or communi-
cate to it some harmful quality. This may,
in degree, be true of such strong, fragrant
blossoms as lilacs or garden lilies, but of
he more delicately scented ones no slch
effect need be apprehended. A we'll aired
-oom will never be made close Or unwhole-
some by nosegay of roses, mignonette, or
Eioets, and the subtle cheer which they
bring with them is infinitely reviving to
weary eyes and depressed spirits.

CARL SoHURz IN GERMANY The roman.
tic fight of the agitator Kinkel from the
prison at Spandau excited much interest at
the time. One Of the parties to this escape
has just died at Strehlen near Dresdren.
He was landed proprietor, Adolph Hen
sci by name, and his share in Kinkel's flight
was never discovered till his death. The
Volhs Zeitung relates the story as follows {:
On the night Of the Sth Of November, 1850,
Hensel, disguised as coachman, sat wait
ing on the box Of carriage close by the
house Of correction at Spandau, ready to
drive away at moments notice. He was &C.
companied by Carl Schurz and DR.. Frieden-
thai, and with them saw Kinkel let himself
down with rope from the giddy height Of
an opening in the prison-roof. He drove
off at tearing gallop with Schurz and Kin.
KEEL soon after midnight. He had chosen
his strongest and swiftest horses
They pressed on without moments rest to
Gransee, village eight German miles from
Spandau. Here the hungry and exhausted
horses were baited, and at o'clock on the
morning of the 9th of November the fugi
tives reached the frontier of Strelitz, and
arrived at Alstrelitz at ! o'clock in the day
The horses had done thirteen German miles
almost at stretch Hensel drove back te
his estate from Alstrelltz, and the fugitive!
went on to Rostock, from which place, as ii
we'll known, they embarked for England
The police never succeeded in identifying
the coachman, without whose assistance tn
escape could scarcely have been effected
and Heusel never experienced any molesta
| ton from the authorities.
