I saw young man IN the oflce OF
q Western railway superintendeuf.
He was occupying q position that
four hundred BOYS in that city
would have wished to get. IL was
honorable and "paid WELL" besides
beng in the line OF promotion
How did he get IT? Not bv having
q rich father, for he was the son of
a laborer- The secret was, his beam
hful accuracy. Ho began as an er-
rand boy, and did his work accu-
rately. His leisure time he used in
perfecting his writing and aritbme-
tic. Alter awhile he learned to tel
egraph. At each step his EMPLOYER
commended his accuracy, and relied
on what he did because he was sure
it was just right And IL is thus
with every occupation. The acen-
rate boy is the favored one. Those
who employ men do not wish TO be
on the constant lookout, as though
they were rogues or fools. Ifacar-
penter must stand at his Journey
mans elbow to be sure his work Is
right or II a cashier, must run over
his book-keepers columns, he might
as well do the work himself as em-
ploy another TO do il in that way;
ana it Is very certain that the en-
ployer will get rid Of such an inac-
cnrate workman as soon as pOssi-
BILE. r........ .....,.--'
i know sneh a young man. He
bad good chance 10 do well, but
he was 50 Inaccurate and unreliable
that people were afraid to trust him.
IL he wrote n deed, or mortgage,
or n contract, he was sure either to
leave out something or put I'm some
thing TO make Il an imperfect pa
per. He was a lawyer without bus
mess, because he lacked the noble
quality OF accuracy. just across
the street from him was another
young lawyer, who was proverbial
for accuracy. He was famous for
searching titles, and when he wrote
out the history OF title 10 a piece
of property, it was taken Tor grant
cd as just so. His aim was abso-
Lutte accuracy in everything. If he
copied q conveyance, or cited le-
gal authority or made n statement,
he aimed tOdo IL exactly. The con-
sequence Is, he is having valuable
practice at the bar, and is univer-
sally esteemed.
But" says some boy, when i
become n man, that is the way /
shall do. 1 mean to be very accu-
raie."
Perhaps so. / could tell better if
l knew Just how you do your work
now. There are several ways OF
getting a lesson. One is, TO get il
'1tolerably we'll" which does not
cost much labor; the other way is
TO get it faulflessly well, which
costs q great deal Of labor. A boy
can get a general idea of his lesson
"in ajify,p but 10 get it with accu-
racy Is very hard, aud requires both
time and industry. II you, my boy,
to-day are getting your lesson in a
slipshod way, you viii grow up a
slipshod man; but, il to-day your
habit is TO get every lesson with
perfect accuracy, will warrant you
will-do that way when YOU become
man. How IS itg-Er.

Charity never FaIle,l.


II a brother crrs, be not the first
to shun him. II brother fails into
bad habits and cvilways, be not the
first, by cold neglect or active means,
to accelerate his fall. Hold him up,
rather; encourage him; stimulate
him TO exertiou; encourage him TO
fight manfully the good fight against
the temptations the vanities, the
follies OF this world to which our
natures are so prone; and finally, IL
he is conquered in the fight, and
leaves for the other world while un-
der a cloud and in disgrace. remom-
Der that our Savior, in his great
mercy, recognized our weakness,
taught rs 10 pray that we might not
be led into temptation, aud throw
over the fallen brother the broad
mantle of charity; the white mai
tie he strOve to wear wOrthily, but
could not for want of strengi D,
marked with the cross he was TOO
weak to carry. This is charity. To
court the great and powerful, to at
tend the funeral Of the rich and
good man, to place oyer his grave
the monumental efiigy, is not chari-
ty. The prOfane do such things
When we carry to the grave the
poor brother who leftnot the where
with to bury him, and place above
the lonely mound the simple head
stone, that headstone becomes the
monument, not 10 the dead, but a
monument Of living charity. In
n these acts OF charity, fear not the
opinion Of the profane rabble, ever
remembering that the people de-
manded the death of the Savior,
and that he whose death they de-
manded has the power, and will re-
ward that charity which he taught
was the greatest of Virtues.-BeR-

Madam allow me 70 prescribe for
you. ] have had q long experience
in the management OF delicate Wo-
men, and believe. can give you
some important advice. For the
present Iprescribe only for your
feet: First-procure q quantity OF
warm stockings-not such as you
buy IN the stores under the name of
lambs wool, that you can read
newspaper through, but the kind
that your Aunt Jerusha in the
country knits for you, thick as a
board, that win keep your feet dry
aud warm in spite of wind and
weather. Second-if you want to
be really thorough, change them ev-
err morning, hanging the fresh ones
by the fire during the night. Third
procure thick calf-skin boots,
double uppers and triple soles, and
wear them from the first Of Octo-
Der till the first of May. Make fire.
quent applications of some good oil
blacking. Fourth-avoid rubbers
altogether, except pair of large
rubber boots, which may be worn
for little time through sRoWdrifts
or a food of water. Fifth-hold the
bottoms of yeur feet in cold water,
half an inch deep, just before going
to bed, two or three minutes, and
then rub with rough towels and
your naked hands. Sixth-Now,
madam, go out freely in all wealth
ers, and, believe me, not only will
your feet enjoy a good circulation,
but as n consequence of the good
circulation in the lower extremities,
your head will be relieved of all its
fullness and your heart of all its
palpitations. Your complexion will
be greatly improved and your health
made better in every respect.

Conversation.


If you say anything about neigh
Dor or friend, or even a stranger,
say no i'll. 1t is a Christian and
brotherly charity to suppress our
knowledge of evil of one another,
unless our higher public duty COM
pels us to bear accusing witness; and
If it be true charity TO keep our
knowledge of such evils to our
selves, much more should we refuse
to spread evil report of one another.
Discreditable as the fact is, il is by
far the commonest tendency to sup
press the good we know of our
neighbors and friends. We act in
this matter as though we felt that
by pushing our fellows down or
back a peg we were putting our
selves up or forward. We are jeal-
Gus of commendatiOn unless we get
the larger share. Social conversa-
tion, as known to every observer, Is
largely made up of what is best un-
derstood by the term scandal. 1t
would be difficult to find talkatiYe
group, of either sex, who could
spend an evening or an hour togeth-
er without evil speech of somebody.
fsBiessed are the peacemakers' is not
the maxim by which we are chiefly
governed in our treatment of per
/ soAalities. Better a thousand times
stand or sit dumb than TO open our
| lips ever so eloquently in the dis
arrangement of others. What we
should do in this, as in all our hu-
name relations, is to practice the
golden rule. III we do unto others
as we wonld that others should do
unto us, we shall be exceedingly
careful not 10 volunteer Ill iwords
about them. Where other than q
good worlds to be spoken, lctlt be
spoken to the person concerned,
that he may know Your motive is
not idle, cowardly and sinister, and
that he may have chance to defend
himself.

ola Times in west tennessee.


The Appea! OF a late date contains
this:
"a descendant of one of the first
settlers" of West Tennessee, a gen
teman every way worthy and fitted
for the task, has made arrangements
for the publication of an historical
work, to be entitled Old Times an
Vest Tennessee. 1t is to be issued
from the press of Partee & Mat
thews, of this city. We have had
the pleasure of reading several
chapters of this forthcoming book,
and can assure the readers of the
appeal that il viii be in all things
worthy the theme it proposes to
| treat of. We are rather conspicuous
for barrenness in the matter of his
torical publications touching our
State or any part thereof, and there
fore hail this because it is an initia-
| tory work, as well as on account of
its own merits. Treating of pio-
neers and "reminiscences of pioneer
life, it will itself be pioneer in q
field that yet lies falloW, but that is
rich enough in incident TO invite
even the pen of Macauley or Ban
croft. We hope, therefore, that
! Old Times IN JFeSt Tennessee will
find thousands of subscribers, and
that encouragement may be given
the author to attempt more com
plete history of the western district
| from the earliest times to the pres
ent day. CanYasseFs are now At
work soliciting subscriptions, and
we hope they viii be amply success

PoETRY.-Poetry is the interpre-
ter of the soul, and translates all
thought into one language. While
we eat the fruits OF autumn, il re-
minds us of the blossoms of spring;
and when We inhale the OdorOus
breath of May, it foretells the frosts
of December. 1t makes the marble
of the sculptor breathe, the canvas
of the painter speak, and the anvil
of the artisan ring a chime. 1t is
the handmade OF religion; the rose
in the wreath of the bride, and the
chaplet of the dead; the mirth and
music of the marriage, and the awe
and silence of the burial. 1t is the
voice of peace, the song of love, and
the sigh of sorrow. 1t sparkles in
the smile of hope, and glitters in the
tear of regret 1t is seen in the
doWncast eyes of modesty, or the in
genuous expsession of manhood. 1t
is heard in the song of robin, seen
in the shape of dove, or felt in the
down of q swan. 1t is the truly
beautiful, and the beautiful truth.

Gods way is Best

a German writer says that the
kings daughter had a very learned
man come every day to instruct her
in the sciences. He was very weak
and sfekly, bedwarfed and deform-
ed. One day the kings daughter
said 10 him: GLOW is it that you, o
man with so much intelligence and
such a wonderful intellect, should
have such a miserable body?" The
teacher made no reply, but he said,
"Brlng US some wine." The order
was given, the wine was brought
and they drank it.. He said: "This
Is very pleasant wine, in which kind
of vat do you keep it?'' She said
''iRan earthern vat. He replied,
sit is strange that in such q beauti-
tuI palace as your father has, he
should have wine in an earthern
vat Why don't you put it into a
gold or silver Vat?'' The kings
daughter said: $50 it shall be-"
One day the learned man was teach
ing the kings daughter, and he said:
81 am weaPy-bring some wine.'
The wine was ordered. He tasted
il, it was sour. He said: 'sTbis is
miserable wine. What is the mat
ter with itY" She said: ''I cannot
understand, for we have the wine in
q gold vat" "Ahl" he said, that's
what's the matter with it; that's
what spoiled and soured it," Now
he said, turning to the kings daugh-
ter, 81 will explain why God puts
my mind in such a miserable body.
Had he put my mind in a body that
was golden, beautiful and imposing,
L should have been spoiled with
vanity, but he put me in an earthern
vessel, and so have been kept hum
ble.' Learn all you, my people, the
meaning of this parable. God pits
US down in mean, plain, uncomfort-
able surroundings to keep us hum

But not while skies are overspread,
And mournful wintry winds are signing.

Carpets the mountain fastness over.
Till chattering birds are on the wing,
And buzzIng bees are in the clover.
TsWait till the laurel bursts its buds,
And creeping ivy fings its graees
About the liehen'd roeks,-and floods
OF sunshine ill the shady places.

Sweet Nature all, is glad and tender,-
Then bear me through the Goshen-Pass,+
Amid its flash OF May-day splendor."

And never stopped she to impart
Her lore to one who held it dearer.
