No Success Without Industry.

really believe, young friends, that
idlenesS is the ground of most vices. /
am acquainted with certain young men
who are running about the streets, whom
| see stepping out of drinking saloons.
Some OF them are sons of reputable pa
rents. l remember last summer meeting
young man-one of the st-dressed lads
IN the clty-a young man whom | met in
the omnibus frequently riding up and
down; and l had seen him so often, and
always with such a leisureIy air, that l
said one day, calling him by name, What
are you doing?"
have not got any particular bust
ness" he said.
Well, haven't you anything to do?'
" Nothing in particular" he answered.
1t was somewhat impertinent, but l
said, " Well, l suppose, now you are out
OF school, you mean to get into something
pretty soon?"
-" Well Ihave not anything just now in
view" he replied.
To make a long story short, the poor
fellow has not anything in view, never
Gld have much of anything in view
Drifting, drifting, drifting! Down, down,
down! He is not the boy he was when [
conVersed with him last summer. There
IS nothing truer, though tritc, than the
adage, " An idle brain is the devils
workshop" Unless there is an aim, a
plan, a purpose in a man, there is de
pravlty, and appetite, and lust, and
passion. 1t is idleness that fills our tails
and prisons. 1t is idleness that rolls up
millions and millions of dollars for
spirituOus liquors every year.
Industry, my young friends, is the first
law of success. Some enc asked man,
who was counted great genius, to de-
fine genius, and he said, Genius is in
dustry." Things never come about of
themselves. The man who writes a
great book never wrote it in day or a
week. The man who has reported a
great invention did not combine wheel
and piston in an hour or a month; but it
was the industry of inquiry, the industry
of application. Industry is the first law
of success

Our Young Folks.
WHICH

There's quaint little fellow in black,
IN out-ot-way places he hides:
GooC nature he never doth lack
And tretUng and care he derides.
With arms held akimbO, he stands
And takes the world easy each dav.
He OWneth nor houses nor lands
1et sunlight or rain, he doth say:
- Cheer up! Cheer upr'
There's a queer little matron who hops
Mid leaves Of the garden and grove:
Her QuerulouS tongue never stops
Complaining. where'er she doth rove.
She SeemeJh q sprite OF old Care.
" hIle CHEEKY and blue are the skies,
And joy l. abroad on the air,
Forever she muTmurs and cries:
= Oh! dear. Oh, dear"
There are boys, yes, and girls. like these twain
meet them in field and il street;
FROM TeItlIg some never abstain,
bur some are all Cheerfulness sweet.
4 cricket or cat-5ird to-day,
Now which viii YOU be. little dear?
i kiss tor the red lips that say.
Though skies may be cloudy or clear:
" Cheer up, Cheer up"

GUESTS OF THE HEART.

SOFT falls through the gathering twilight
The rain from the dripping caves,
And stlrs with tremulous rustic
The dead and the dying leaves:
" lille afaT, in the midst Of the shadows,
hear the sweet voices Of bells.
Come borne on the wind of the Autumn,
Ihat htfully rises and swells.
They call and they answer each other
They answer and mingle again
As the deep and the shrill in an anthem
Make harmony still in their strain;
As the voices Of sentiuels mingle
In mountainous regions of snow,
Till from hilltop to hilltop . chorus
Floats down to the valleys below.
The shadows, the freight of even.
The sound of the rains distant chime.
Come bringing, with rain softly dropping,
sweet thoughts of a shadOwy time;
The slumber0us sense Of scclusiOn,
From storm and intruders alOOf,
We feel when we hear in the midnight
The patter OF rain on the roof.
When the spirit goes forth in its yearnings
To take all its wanderers home;
Or. afar in the regions Of fancy,
Delights on swift piniOns to roam,
quietly sit by the freight
The freight so bright and so warm
For / know that those only who love me
VIII seek me through shadow and storm.
But should they be absent this evening,
Should even the household depart
Deserted, / should not be lonely:
There still would be guests in my heart.
The faces Of friends that | cherish.
The smile, and the glance, and the tone
Will haunt me wherever | wander,
And thus | am never alone.
With those who have lett lar behind them
The joys and the sorrows Of time
Who sing the sweet songs Of the angels
In purcr and holier climel

The progress of railway construction
in Russia for the last five wears has been
as wonderful as in America. 4 vessel
was cleared from New York Sept. ?,
1874, with twelve locomotives and two
passenger cars destined for the port of
Taganrog Southern Russia, designed for
railroad from that point to the interior.
There were 1900 miles of railway con-
structed in Russia in 1878, and there
were at the close of that year in the Rus
sian Empire 10069 miles of railway in
operation. The extension in 1878 was
principally toward the west and south
west of the Empire. There were trans
ported on these forty-five roads of the
Empire, in 1878, 81 600, 900 tons of mer-
chandise, against 100000 tons in 1872
This rapid extension of railways is Pevo-
lutionizing the grain trade of Russia.
The public libraries of Michigan
numbered in 1870 422-the largest num-
Der of the kind in the United States.
New York stood next, having $50 libra
ries, Massachusetts third, with 50. In re
spect to the number of volumes, how
ever, Massachusetts stood first, with
475,853 volumes; New York second, 173,
236; Michigan third, ia, 207. No other
State approaches these three in the num-
Der or size of its public libraries The
Michigan statistics show that the sys-
TEN is widely distributed, and that the
township plan is working favorably for
the benefit of the people. This system
is, as is well known, based upon the idea
of making one hand wash the other by
devoting the fines for minor otfenses
tried before Police Justices to the pur-
chase of books and the conduct of the
libraries.
