Helm Yourself.

Fight your own battles. Hoe your
own row. Ask 10 favors of any one,
and you'll succeed five thousand times
better than one who is always beseech-
ing some ones patronage. No one will
ever help you as you help yourself, be-
cause no one will be so heartily inter.
ested in your affairs. The first step will
not be such long one perhaps but
carving your own way up the noun
tain, you make each one lead to an
other, and stand firm in that while you
chop still another out. Men who have
made fortunes are not those who had
FIVE thousand dollars given them to
start with, but boys who have started
fair with a well-earned dollar or two.
Men who have acquired fame have not
been thrust into popularity by puffs
begged or paid for, or given in friendly
spirit. They have outstretched their
hands, and touched the public heart.
Men who win love do their own WOO
ing, and never knew man to fail so
signaliy as one who had induced his af-
fectionate grandmamma to speak good
word for him. Whether you work for
fame, for love, for money, or for any
thing else, work with your hands,
heart and brain. Say II will,'' and
some day you will conquer. Never lei
any man have it to say, ~ have drag
ged you up Too many friends hurt a
man more than none at all.-Gract

The music of springs in the grove, Will;

And the pioneer bee exults, lad.

Ear dewn by the murmuring brook, there.
The pure shining daffodils blow:
But the golden dreams are away. lad,
That were mine IN the spring long agol
There is balm in the morning breeze, viii;
There is song in the morning skies;
And the rosy sunbeams kiss, lad,
The dew from the violets' eyes
Far down in the depths of the pine-wood,
In the twilight the black birds sing
But never the joy can they bring. lad,
That they gave IN the golden spring.

But the songs and the flowers of yore, lad

The residence in Paris of Prince Ma
poleon and his wife, the Princess
Clothilde, was of very short duration.
They had scarcely arrived when they
were waited upon by a Government
agent and requested not only to leave
Paris but also France. At first they
both firmly declined to do this, the
Princess, if possible, more emphatically
than her husband; but later they
thought better of it, and on the 18th
inst. quilted the inhospitable land.
THE Turkish army numbers about
100000 men, considerably less than half
of the standing army of Russia. The
men are of good size, hardy and muscu-
lar. but too ignorant and degraded to
be capable of any lofty esprit du corps.
The personnel Of the Turkish rank and
file is, doubtless, however, fully equal to
that of the Russian troops. The pri-
vate in the army of the Sultan is not
one whit inferior, physically or men
tally, to the private in the army of the
Car. The pay of both is a beggarly
pittance, and generally in arrears. In
food ;nd clothing there is probably but
little to choose between them.

Chicken Philosophy.

The Danbury Necs thus manifests its
familiarity with the chicken-coop and
pig-pen: "The quintessence of the
omnivorous is supposed to be imaged
in the hog, but the hog is Peabody
among animals alongside of hen.
Hens are by nature monopolists. When
the subject of victuals is mentioned
they are evidently listening. Throw a
handful of corn into ten-acre lot, and
every hen in the inclosure will get a
dab at it. The last hen on the spot
may not get more than two kernels, but
nothing in the hens appearance will
indicate that. l. will step around with
as much precision and gratitude as any
in the flock, and wear the most pensive
smile YOU ever saw. A hen will not eat
everything it sees, but will try to, and
there isn't one on the face of the earth
but that can tell you the taste of every
thing it has seen within the radius of a
half mile of its house. 1t is only when
a man has kicked at hen and missed
it that he begins to understand how
thoroughly hollow aud deceitful this
world is, and it is marvellous fact in
this connection that he will miss the
hen If he does kick at it, and misses il
if he don't. faf

Poem.

The day is done. and the darkness
Falls from the wings of night.
As feather is waited downward
From an eagle in its fight.
see the lights of the village
Clean through the rain and the mist.
And feeling Of sadness comes Ger me.
That my soul cannot resist;
A feeling of sadness and longing.
That is not akin to pain,
And resem bleS sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come. read to me some poem.
some simple and heartfelt lay.
That shall soothe this restless feeling.
And Danish the thoughts of day.
Net from grand old masters,
Not from bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of time:
For, like strains of martial music.
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life's endless toll and endeavor;
And tonight long fer rest.
Read from some humber poet.
Whose songs gushed from his heart.
As showers from the clouds of summer.
Or tears from the eyelids start;
no. InfOUgH lung uSyS VI ldoOEs
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
Of wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
1he restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume.
The poem of thy choice;
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty OF thy voice;
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.
