GOOD ADvICE To YOUNG LADIES

Trust not to uncertain riches, but
prepare yourselves for every emergency
in life Learn to work, and not be de-
pendent on servants to make your
bread, sweep your floors and darn your
stockings. Above all do not esteem
too lightly those honorable young men
who sustain themselves and their aged
parents by the work of their own
hands, while you care for and receive
into your company those lazy, idle
who never lift finger to
help themselves as long as they can
keep body and soul together. If you
are wise, you will prefer the honest
mechanic with not cent to commence
life, to the fashionable loafer with ten
a year. Young ladies, re-
this, and instead of sounding
the purse of your lovers, look into
their hearts and habits. See that they
have minds which will lead them to
look above butterfly existence.
He is the truly happy, happy man,
Who out ofchoice does all the good he can.

In reply to some aspcrsons thrown

honor of being one. The occasion
was of unusual interest, as there were

FOR THE CHiLREN.
A Golden Text for Boys.

A man Of very pleasing address, but
very dishonest in his practices, once
said to an honrable merchant, whose
word was good as his bond,
would five fifty thousand dollars for
your good name"
=" Why so?" asked the other, in
some surprise.
Because | could make a. hundred
thousand dollars out Of il" was the
reply.
The honorable character which was
at the bottom of that good name he
cared nothing for it, it was only the
reputation which he could turn to ac-
count in money point of view which
he coveted. But a good name could
not be bought with silver; it, of all
other possessions, must be fairly earn
ed, When it is possessed, it is bet
ter business capital than great sum
of money. 1t is capital any boy or
girl may secure. Honesty must be its
foundation even to the smallest par
ticulars. When an employer says,
That is boy can trust" he will
always find himself in demand, pro-
vided he joins with it industry. The
hand of the dilligent maketh rich. y
1t seems hard at the timo, maybe, this
ceaselcss daily round of work, while
other boys are lounging about store
steps, or playing ball on the green. But
the reward will come, if you are faith
full While the loungers arc dragging
out n miserable lifetime in privations
and poverty, the hard working boy
lives at his ease, respected and honor
cd
Remember this, boys, if you desire
to make your way in the world. There
is nothing that can serve your purpose
like name for honesty, and you will
never acquire either if you are a
lounger about the streets, and shirk
at your business Everybody suspects
n lad who is often seen about saloon
doors or tavern steps. 1t undermines
a boy S character for honesty very rap
idly to mix with the society he finds
there, and such habits tend to any
thing but industrious ways.
" A good namo is rather to be chosen
than great riches, and loving favor
rather than silver aud gold" Print
that text on your heart, and carry it
with you in all your walks and ways
lfyOu are led TO secure it, it will be
worth far more than fifty thousand
dollars" to you

wearing FInnncI.

The minority Of people are not
aware of the beneficial effect of
wearing flannel next to the body, both
in cold. and warm weather. Flannel
is not SO uncomfortable in warm
weather as preiudiced people be-
lieve, Frequently colds and constant
hacking coughs soon leave on adopt
ing flannel garments. There is no
need of great bulk about the waist,
which condemns the wearing of fan :
mel with those who prefer wasp-waists
to health, for in that case the flannel
can be cut as loosely fitting waists al
ways fastening at the back. There
are scarcely any of the bad effects of
sudden changes Of weather felt bythose
who wear flannel garihoiits, and moth
ers should cndeavor to secure such for
their little people, in preference to all
those snowy outside trimmings which
fashion commands.

UeautifuI Thoughts.

No matter how low mans work is,
no matter how poorly he is remunera-
ted, though he has never seen the sun,
though he was born, and has always
lived, in the mine, or though it be his
lot to delve and work in the sea, it is
in his power to be son of God. For
him, too, there is crown. For him,
too. there are songs. He has brothers
and he has sisters, and he has God
of glory. What man is so poor that
he does not have an undivided interest
in the sun? You walk along the
street. You DO not own that house, or
that. or that. You do not own any
house, most of you. You have no
money in the bank You cannot draw
a check and have it honored in any
bank, most of you. And stocks you
do not own. You have no part nor lot
in any of these things which men are
praised for having. But who owns
the focks of birds that come up north
early in the spring, and that go sing
ing in the fields? Any body who has
ears to hear and eyes to see, owns
them. Those spring days bring balm
and sweet moisture from the. south
who owns them? You own them, and
| own them. When the raggedest
berpar that walks the streets with
head uncovered and hair unkempt,
lifts himself into the air, it his air
And the sun is his. And the summer
is his. The morning aud the evening
air il for him. God makes the cur
tain about his bed; for he is Gods
child. He is not so richin that which
men call riches as that old curmudgeon!
There is a great class of toilers who

house, that does not mean anything,
But there are many men who have to
