railway king is now so reduced in pocket that
bis friends are raising subscriptions to purchase
small annuity for him, that his life may not
close in absolute penury.
The true philosophy is to regard life as thing
to be pushed moderately and be enjoyed as it
passes 1t should never be treated as too many
do-as great game of hazard. Nor should we
fancy that all in which we are interested depends
entirely upon ourselves. Other people, it must
be conceded, can do something. The best busi-
ness results are obtained by finding out trust
worthy people and confding in them. The ex-
pertinent OF entire direction on grand scale was
tried BY the Emperor of the French certainly
one of the strongest men that the world has seen
but even he found at last that one man is not
competent for everything; aud he, we suspect
envied the contented laborer, who has only to do
his daily work and receive his daily wages
There are thousands like him. Their empires are
narrower, but their experience is the same-to-
day, success; tomorrow, disappointment.

SIT DOaCn /!
BIZ RESTLESS JIMMY.

! In the battle of life We are bothered to nnd
What becomes OF the girls and the boys,
For they leave the cradle and paythings behind
To share in its sorrows and joys.
When old folks are talking the deepest lore
No matter of how great renown,
Some youngster up and must shove in his oar,
Who don't know enough to sit down.
Sit down.
When your elders may speak, don't give any cheek
But learn what you can and sit down.
,Tis the age of improvements we all must admit,
For the aged as well as the young:
But children should listen and learn for bit,
Before they're glib with the tongue.
If they'd follow advice older people may give,
Success all their efforts would crown;
So youngster remember as long as you live,
When your grandfather speaks, go sit down.
Sit down
Don't argue the case, to your lasting disgrace,
But show him respect and sit down.
He has been through the mill had many hard knocks
Though now he is laid on the shelf;
While time has been thinning his silvery locks,
He has learned how it is with himself.
If he tells where in life he has made mistake,
Don't give him a sneer a frown,
But profit by any remark he may make
Just take it all in and sit down.
Sit down
Advice from the old is like Apples of Gold;
So gather them in and sit down.
How many look back to the days of their youth
And see the mistake they have made
Commands that were given in friendship and truth
why had they not been obeyed
If I'd not been pufed up with such conceit,
I'd never been done up so brown,
md the downhill of life would be ten times sweet
HPd only known when to sit down
Sit down.
If you'd not be fool in adversity's school,
You must learn while yoa're young to sit down!

ton to tie comfort of host and hostess. Be
obliging, but unobtrusively so. Never intrude
yourself into the kitchen, with offers of assis-
tance in the culinary department, unless espe-
cially invited todo so. Never cite any instance
of the superiority of any cooking over that
which is perfected under the auspices of your
hostess. These are the veriest trifes, but in
this world, happiness, oftener than we think,
hinges upon trifes. Again, be pleased, and
show it. About the most pitiable person to be
found is young gentleman or lady who has
become or affected to become blase. 1t is very
discouraging, when one has taken extra pains
to give pleasure, to see it received with serene
indifference, as though it mattered little wheth-
er thanks were expressed or not. Bus there is
delight in doing attentive things to those who
arehonestly and easily delighted. so,wherever
your friends take you, to ride or to walk,
to the top of hill to see the sun set, or
to cascade or concert, let them see that you
are pleased, and appreciate their kindly efforts.
And last-don't stay too long. Go home while
you are still welcome guest, and invite your
entertainers to visit you, that you may renew
the pleasure you have had together.

Make Yourself Welcome.

That it is quite a possible thing TO "wear out
ones welcome" when invited to partake of q
friends hospitality is fact which needs no
demonstration. Too many guests articular
ly among young ladies-fail to accommodate
themselves to the habits of their entertainers,
thus making the extension of hospitality la
Dor rather than a pleasure. There are guests
who always bring welcome with them, and
are regretted when they go. There are others
who are burdensome, and who never have the
pleasure of feeling that their visits have been
sources Of satisfaction to anybody. To avoid
this calamitous state of feeling is easy enough
if you make point of accommodating your
self to the ways of the household of which you
are temporarily member For instance
young lady, if you find that they have prayers
at half past seven and breakfast at eight, and
that bell is rung early enough for everyone to
be up and dressed, do not come down just as
the last verse of the chapter is being read and
they are about kneeling for prayer. You ascer-
tain that dinner is at one, or that tea is at six;
is it polite to return from your morning shop
ping or your evening walk at half-past one or a
ouarter-pas ~ It is almost certain that, by
doing SO, 1noyance toyour cor
dial hostes 'ot shadow
of it show may
