The REALrIIEsssoF. MASHooD.-To.th the boy,
the world beyond his immediate surround
ings is only picture. He does net know
how real are the sorrows, the passions and
ambitions OF men. Its absorbing interest,
its heroes and its martyrs. are Heard Of by
him without understanding, or with inalifer-
enee. Els sport, lis lessons, his home life
are alone real. But there will come change.
The ordinary slow growth into manhood,
with its business OF professional pursuits aud
widening relations, or startling events. such
as the death OF a parent, or some Intellectual
Or spiritual appeal, striking out the latent
soul, will make vivid and earnest what was
inlistinet and unntcresting. Like steree-
scope picture before it Is put in the stereo-
scope, the lie Of man has no body or reality;
bur when the boy awakens as with the pic
turc within the instrument, so with him, q
sclility and naturalness Will be acquired by
the external world, salld he will feel 1t is
sflcnceforth to 1--we and move amongst these
grinder and eraver forms. Many mistakes
will he commit, false estimates will he fern
ofproportion and perspective, the earnest
ness OF his new conceptions will hurry him
into extravaganees and generous errors !; but
if there is truth IN Ais nature. and nebseness
in his spirit, just views will be formed, and
the day in which it is given him to work will
find him not unmindful of the responsibility
which ;.rise, from knowledge OF the CON-
ing night.
THAT TRUNK.-LaGies travelling through
Canada by rail, are often greatly annoyed by
having their luggage unnecessarily searched,
but one Of the officials recently got bis de-
serts. 1t happened that Yankee school
teacher ON her tMay from Kansas. Vermont,
passed through the Dominion. with trunk
packed to bursting with nothing contraband.
When the officer demanded her key, she
begged him not to open it. assuring him that
it had come through from Kansas, contained
simply clothes and books, and. was SO full
that it would be very troublesome to repack
it. But he sternly demanded the key, and
malicioasly pulled the things out to the very

says that official was very weary and red In

THE true girl has to be sought for. She
does not parade herself as show goods. She
is not fashionable. Generally she is not rich.
But O, what heart she has when you find
her So large, and pure and womanly When
you see it you wonder If those snowy things
outside are really women. Il you gain her
love, your two thousand are million. She'll
not ask you for Il carriage or first-elass
house. She'll wear simple dresses. and turn
them if necessary, with no ulgar magnif-
cent TO frown upon company. She'll keep
everything neat and nice in your sky-parlor,
and give you such a welcome when you come
home that you'll think your parlor higher
than ever She'll entertain true friends OH a

how very little happiness depends on money!
