Itisa good sign when man is proud

stantty with their particular business,
andideeming themselves unfortunate be
cause fastened to it, by the necessity o.
gaining livelihood. In this spiri. men
fret,and laborously destroy all the ir

Occasionally, man fails in life be

his Peculiar talent; it happens ten times
oitencr that failure results from neglect
aud even contempt Of an honest bust
ncss..SsA man should put his heart
into everything that he does. There is
not a profession in the world that has
not Its peculiar cares and vexations. No
manwill escape annoyance by cha nging
business. No mechanical business is
altogether agreeable. Commerce, in its
cndlgss varieties, is affected like all
other human pursuits, with trials, un-
welcome duties, and spirttiring neccssi
ties. fsIt is the very wautonncss of folly
for a man TO search out the }rets and
burdens of his calling, and give his
mlndfsevery day to consideration Of
then. They belong to human life.
Theysarc inevitable. Brooding, then,
onlysives them strength.
On&the other hand, man has

that moment it is transtigurcd. and men
judge its dignity and merit, not by what

The Fellow that Looks Like Me.

Max Adelcr, who writes for Phia-

up to Reading not long since, and
when reaching the depot he happen ed
to look in the lady's room. A woman
sat there with lot of baggage and
three children, and when she saw Slim.
mcr she rushed toward him, and before
he could defend himself she threw her
arms about his neck, nestled her head
upon his breast, and burst into tears
Simmer was amazed, indignant, con-
founded; aud ere he could fnd utter
ancc for his feelings, she exclaimed
go: Henry, dear Henry! we are

And she looked into Simmer's face
and smiled through her tears.

am the person alluded to as Henry, per
NIT me to say that you have made
mistake. My name is Lcmuel, I have
no Aunt Martha, and 1 don't own a
solitary Louisa. Qblige me by letting
go my coat; it excites remark. !"
Then she buried her bonnet deeper
into his waistcoat, and began to cry
harder than ever, and said
80, Henry, how can you treat me 80
How can you pretend that you are not
my husband?'
Madam screamed Simmer, "ifyou
