Live for some purpose In the world.
Always act your part well. Fill up the
measure Of duty to others. Conduct
yourself so you shall be missed with sor-
row when you are gone. Multitudes of
our species are living in such a selfish
manner that they are not likely to be re-
mem bered after their death. They leave
behind them scarcely any traces of their
existence, and are forgotten, almost as
though they never had lived. They are,
while they live, like some pebble lying
unob-erved among million on the shore,
and when they die they are, like that
same pebble, thrown into the sea, which
just ruffies the surface, sinks, and is for
gotten, without being missed from the
beach. They are neither regretted by
the rich, wanted by the poor, nor cele-
brated by the learned. Who has been
the better for their life? Whose tears
have they dried up! Whose wants sup
piled, Whose misery have they healed ?
Who would unbar the gate of life to re-
admit them to existence? or what face
would greet them back again to our
world with a smile? Wretcbed, unpro-
ductive mode Of existence! Selfshness is
its own curse; it is a starving vice. The
man who does no good gets none. He is
like the heath in the desert, neither
yielding fruit nor seeing when good COM
eth; stunted, dwarfsh, miserable
shrub.

Best Organs ON Most Favorable Terms.

The new terms offered by the Mason

Of their celebrated instruments, create
dissatisfaction with many dealers, who
declare that they will greatly injure the
business of selling other organs, especially
by peddlers. BY these terms a person is
allowed 10 hire an organ, paying only a
reasonable rent for it-having the priv
ilege, Of course, Of returning II at any
time after six months, or Of purchasing
il at any time. If the purchase is COM
pleted within . year, the whole cost Of
the organ is only five TO ten per cent.
more than il all cash had been paid at
the beginning.
Dealers say this Is much too small
difference for the accommodation in time,
and privilege Of returning, given.

determined 10 try the experiment thor
oughly at least, being confident that
their organs will prove 80 attractive and

ever be returned to them. Circulars
with full particulars can be obtained by
addressing them in Boston, New York, or
