Fathers ADVICE uo a Bride.

Said a young husband whose bus

bridal gift of a rich uncle, doomed
me to financial ruin. 1t involved q

HumBoIdt,s Lost Fortune.

1t is well known that Alexander
Won Humboldt died in a state bor-
dering on poverty. His finanic2l'em-
barrassments were caused by his
loss in 1S4S, of the sum of nine or ten
thousand dollars in gold, which the
King OF Prussia had presented to
him. At the time it was believed
that the money had been stolen from
the great savan; but the police were
unable to find any clue of it's disap-
pearance. Strange to say, a short
lime since, the gentleman now living
in the house formerly occupied by
Humboldt, found the money in q
small box among some old rubbish
in the cellar. How it got there puz-
zles Humboldt's intimate acquaint-
ances exceedingly.

The Aged Lover.


No longer a loyer! exclaimed an
aged patriarch; ahl you mistake me
if you think age has blotted out my
heart. Though silver hairs fall over
q brow all Wrinkled, and a cheek all
furrowed, yet L am a lover still. 1
love the beauty of the maiden's blush,
the soft tint of flowers, the sing
ing birds, and above all the silvery
laugh of the child. love the star
like meadows, where the butter
cups grow, with the same enthusi-
asm as when, with ringlets flying
loose in the wind, years ago l chased
the painted butterfly. l love yon
aged dame. Look st her. Her face
is care worn, but it has ever held a
smile for me. Often have l shared
the same bitter cup with her, and
so shared, it seemed almost sweet.
Years of sickness have stolen the
freshness Of life; but like the faded
roses, the perfume of her love is
richer than when in the full bloom
of youth and maturity. Together
we have placed flowers in the case
ment, and folded the hands of the
dead; to gether we have wept over
little graves. ThrO' sunshine and
storm we have clung together; and
now she sits with her knitting, her
cap quantity frilled, the old-styIed
kerchief crossed, white and prim,
above the heart that beat so long
and truly for me; the dim blue eyes
that shrinkingly fronts the glad day,
the sunlight throwing a parting
farewell, kisses her brow and leaves
upon its faint tracery of wrinkles
and angelic radiance. l see, though
no one else can, the bright, glad
young face that won me first, and
the glowing love of forty years
thrills my heart till tears come.
Say not again that can no longer
love. Though this form be bowed,
God impaired eternal love within.
Let the ear be deaf, the eye blind,
the hand palsied, the limbs wither-
ed and the brain clouded-yet the
heart, the true heart, may hold such
wealth of love, that all the power of
death and the victorious grave shall
not be able to put out its quench-
less fame.

a Chimney That win NOt smoke,

The Scientific american gives the
following hints to those who would
''build a chimney which will not
smoke" The chiefpoint is to make
the throat not less than four inches
broad and twelve inches long; then
the chimneys should be abruptly en-
largsd to double the size, and so
continue for one foot or more; then
it may be gradually tapered of as
desired. But the inside of the Chin
neY, throughout its whole length to
the top, should be plastsred very
smoOthe with good mortar, which
will harden with age. The area of
the chimney should be at least half
q square foot, and no flues less than
sixty square inches. The best shape
for a chimney is circular, or many
sided, Jas giving less friction (brick
Is the best material, as it is a nom
conductor and the higher above the
roof the better.

save n Little.

Every man who is obliged to work
for living should make a point to
lay up little money for that rainy
day which we are liable to encounter
when least expected. The best way
to do this is to open an account with
the savings bank. Accumulated
money is always safe; il is always
ready to use when needed. Scrape
together five dollars make your de-
posit, receive your bank book, and
then deposit a given sum, small
though il be, once a month, or once
q year according to circumstances.
Nobody knows without trying it
how easy q thing it Is to save money
when an account with a bank has
been opened. When such an account
has been opened & man feels desire
TO increase his deposits. 1t gives
him lessons in frugality and econo-
my Weans him from habits of ex.
travagance, and is the very best
guard in the world against intem-
perance, dissipation and vice.

SUNsHINE.-Didy you ever notice
what different aspect everything
wears in the sunshine from what it
does in the shadow? And did you
ever think what an analogy there
was between the sunlight of the
cloudless skies and the sunshine that
CLEANS into the darkened chambers
Of the human soul? How bright
and beautiful are the golden beams
that break at last through the riven
clouds to tighten up the world again
after a succession of dark and stor-
my days. How peaceful and happy
are the blissful words of hope and
cheer that touch the heart and fill
the soul with emotion Of peace and
joy after along period of sorrow and
desp ondency, when uttered by some
disinterested friend. There are
none living that do not, in a greater
or less degree, have an influence
over the earthly happiness of others.
The sense of contributing to the
pleas ure of others augments our
own happiness. Unselfishness, chris
tian charity, and loving kindness,
are tlIe sunbeams of the soul.

LENT.


Dear soul, you weep, you fast, yeu pray,
You cry 70 heaven FOR aid
But DO you love the King alway.
And feed his poor with breads
Dear heart, you sigh, you moan, you yearn,
You look TO heaven FOR rest,
But have you plucked a cruel thorn
From some poor tortured breaSts
Dear life, your brain, your hands, your eyes,
Your feet are given for work;
The Masters vineyard round you lies,
Your daily daily task you shirk.
o, friend, the Lent that will God will bless
Lies not in outward forms;
Go nurse the sick, the naked dress.
The homeless shield from storms.

Oh, builders Of the State,
Be brave and wise and great
Make equal rights for all-the base,
Mortise the granite deep,

Build abe clique, or caste, or race.
Wall out the trust in creeds,
Wall in the faith in deeds,
W all out the traitors cornerstone,
Wall in the church and school,
Wall out the tyrant's rule,
wall In fair freedom on her throne.

Build in the rock and on.

Nor SwEARING.-Not long since,
at a private entertainment, Bret
Harte told the following story: ga
teamster went courting a girl who
was a good church member, and
while in her company, being on his
very best behavior, he was careful
not to use any language which
would shock the exceeding proper
ears of his sweetheart; but, one day,
driving up a hill, he burst forth into
the most ObjurgatiVe address to his
animals, never dreaming that the,ob-
ject of his affection was standing by
the roadside listening to his profani-
ty. But when she opened upon him
the batteries of reproof, he knew
she was there. But he held his
ground. 'Do you call that swear
ing?" said he. "If you do, / don't
know what you'd say if you heard
that fellow just behind me exhort
an impenitent mule.'"

the society of the young, and take
pleasure in listening to the kindly
voice of age show US a man that is
ever ready to pity and help the de-
formed; show us a man that covers
the faults of others with a mantle of
charity, show US a man that bows
as politely and gives the street as
freely TO the poor sewing girl as the
millionaire; who values virtue, not
clothes; who shuns the company of
such as cOngregate at public places
to gaze at the fair sex, or make
unkind remarks Of the passing
poor girl; show us a man who alb
hors the libertine; who scOrns the
ridiculer of his mothers sex, and
the exposure of womanly reputa-
ton; show us the man who never
forgets for an instant the delicacy
and respect due a woman, as a wo-
man, in any condition or class-and
you show us a true gentleman.

Daniel threw the frog out of the win

a Young wife and a Farm Home.

The extract below we find in the
agricultural column of the Lansing
(Mich.) Republican, in an article en-
titled Choosing farm" and writ
ten-as we assume-by the lady who
presides so well over that depart
ment of the paper. After some re-
marks about the Importance of a
healthy location in choosing a farm,
and of the advantage of mixed hus-
bandry, the writer adds:
''HaVing the plans all laid down
for q successful life on a farm, the
young man begiRs to look around If
he has not already done so, for some
one to preside in his home who will
enter into his plans and for a COM
plete partnership-not one to take
the place Of an upper servant to do
his work, nor TO be a mere orna-
ment, but one who can enter into his
plans and suggest alterations and
improvements, lay out 3 flower gar
den, ornament the home, and help
him to spend what they can earn, to
the very best advantage; all to be
done for the love of the head part
ner and ultimate benefit of the firm.
Notwithstanding all the accusa-
tiOns of mercenary motives that are
poured out on marriageable girls at
the present time, there are still
many true and sensible, who are
willing to marry young man of
loVeable character without q for
tune except in himself When such
a man seeks q wife for a companion
and the presiding genius for his
household, with prospective chill
dren to train for usefulness, he does
not approach the city butterfly,
though he may be dazZled for q day
by its wings. No; there are hun
dreds of homes in Michigan con-
tanning young women who would
honor any position in which they
might be placed. Unity of purpose
and adoption to circumstances are
the bonds that must make any home
what it should be. a farmers
home may possess grace and beauty,
and there is no good reason why the
farmer himself should not advance
in the road of refinement and civili-
zation, instead of yielding to the
ulsCOAhAOLIs y VI d JIlL4ltiFe style OF
living and toll, without the ameni-
ties that are so becoming and pleas
ing in and to all stations. 1t estab-
lished on right principles, while the
home is becoming, in the care and
love of its founders, an ark of safe
ty for the children, they will grow
up with love for the place, and a
revential affection, that will repay
the parents a thousand fold for all
their labor.

sound Doctrine.

The AUalaRche says; The foIlw-
ing extract from an editeril in the
Lexington Miss Advertiser, edited
by Hrs. Sallie Ada Vance, every way
deserves the prominence we give il:
"Weneed capital, energy, enterprise,
and the man who has it, be he from
the East or West, should be well
coined as God-send. 1t is thongdt
that the tide of emigration now
checked in its westward progress
will eventually turn Southwark.
The greatest drawback on it is the
idea of prescription and inhospita-
BILE treatment. We can and must put
it down. We can and must show to
the world that we are not so narrow
as to bear in our hearts national
grudge, and it giveiby,peace-meal to
every one who happened to be born
in certain prescribed limits. Why
my dear reader any ofus might have
been born there, and if we had,
with Eastern surroundings and Purl-
tan education, we would have enlist
ed with General Grant and shouted
as heartily for Abe Lincoln as any
Down-easter of them all. The acci-
dent of birth has much to do with
the formation of character, and it is
an accident which none of US can
control"

The following fine reflection is to
be found in the life of Lord Herbert,
OF Cherbourg:
Everybody loves the virtuous,
whereas the vicious do scarcely love
one another" Upon the same sub
ject an Arabian happily observed
that he learned virtue from the bad,
fer their wickedpess inspired him
with q distaste Of vice.
