THE American Newspaper Advertising
Agency OF Geo. p. Rowell & Co., New York,
keeps itself persistently before the people by
advertising in newspapers. They evidently
receive their reward, for we have it from
reliable source that advertising orders issued
by them for their customers have exceeded
three dollars day since the commencement
OF the year, and this is not a very good year
for advertising, either.

DROUGHT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.-In New
Hampshire the drought is much aggravated
by the extremely cold weather, which freezes
up what little water there is, many farmers
being obliged to melt snow to water their
cattle. Pipes and reservoirs are everywhere
frozen, and the Nashua manufactures run
but three hours day, fearing that the ice in
their canals will crush down and freeze TO
the bottom, and in many other sections they
have stopped altogether.

The Secret of Success.

Aim at perfection in everything.
They who aim at it and persevere, will
come much nearer to it than those
whose laZiness and dependency make
them give it up as unattainable. There
are no rivals so formidable as those
earnest, determined minds that reckon
the value of every hour, and that achieve
eminence by persistent application.
Do the best you can, whatever you
undertake. If you are only a street.
sweeper, sweep your "level best" He
who does his. best, however little, is al
ways to be distinguished from him who
does nothing. Persevering mediOcrity
is much more respectable, and unspeak-
ably more useful, than talented incon-
stancy.
Frogs do not croak in running water.
Activity is the law of life. Patience Is
power in a man. Faith in our own abil-
ity is half of every battle. "a living
dog is better than dead lion." Char
acter is mans real worth; reputation
is his market price. a good character,
good habits, and iron industry are i'm
pregnable to the assaults of all the ill
luck that fools ever dream of.
Genius, after all, is only the power of
making an effort. "Genius, unexerted,
IS no more genius Iudu q OuSu6A Vi dCOAHS
is a forest of oaks" Do not croak
against genius or want of opportunity.
If your opportunities are not good
enough, better them. 1t is cowardice to
grumble at circumstances; the perse-
vering man rises above them. OppOsi-
ton gives him better power of resist
ance. Kites rise against the wind. No
man ever worked his voyage in calm.
A head wind is better than no wind at
all. j.. 5o
No man ever achieved renown who
was too lazy to exert himself. 1t is
more noble to make yourself great than
to be born great. There is no genius in
life like the genius in energy and aetiv-
ity. We cannot go to sleep beggars and
wake up mfflionaires; we cannot go to
sleep ounces and wake up Solomons.
We must work and wait. We must
win if we want to wear. Every detec-
tion of what is false directs US toward
what is true; every failure is but a step
toward success. We should profit to-day
by the follies of yesterday.
The young man who distances his
competitors is he who masters his bust-
ness, who preserves his integrity, who
paws his debts, who lives within his in
come, aud who gains friends by deserv-
| ing them.

THE REALITIES OF LIFE.-There is
routine work to life, and every man
goes through it, but not all in the same
way. To some it is drudgery, to some
pain, to some art, to SOME pleasure, but
to all life. If man will not work,
neither shall he eat, and the work men
do is necessarily routine; the same
wants, the same demands, similar rdu-
ties meet us every day. There arise
endless details and questions of ways
and means, but the one thing, life, by
duty and by work, is before as !! But
what wisdom, what grace we require to
meet and fulfill it! How often we are
vexed and troubled by it! We are like
mariners in an archipelago; the channel
is bordered on either side by rocks, and
he is, a skillful pilot who steers safely
through them. There is one thing,
however, that better than all things
helps a man-it is cheerfulness. The
sun rises every morning in the heavens,
and although mists and clouds some
times cover it, it is there. So mans
disposition makes or mars his prospect.
There is no healthier, no more hopeful
light that man can throw on his path
way than cheerfulness. $50 Iu

SCARED.-The miseries of green visit
ors in New York are manifold. Their
ignorance makes them as easily scared
as cheated, and a warning beforehand
by some knowing friend often makes
the matter worse. -----
A rural visitor to New York, WHO had
heard that horse-car fares in the city
were only five cents, happened to get
into Fourth Avenue car Immediately
after his arrival. Upon being accosted
by the conductor he rendered five-cent
nickel, which the conductor accepted,
and demanded one cent more. a. -t..
The countryman, recalling the many
instances of metropolitan imposition
upon provincial ophistocaticity, de-
bated the request, and only after long
argument paid the extra coin. Next
day he happened to ride in car of the
Broadway line, upon which the now
famous and well-known bell-bunch had
just been put in use. -.
Being accosted again for his fare, he
teDdered five-eent piece boldly yet ap-
prehensively, and nerved himself to re-
sist the demand of the conductor for an
extra penny. But the conductor, with
his usual deliberation, caught the sus-
lpended card with one hand, and reached
down with the other for the belI-punch.
Suddenly the alarmed cOuntryman,
to whom the instrument loomed up in
the proportions of a silver-mounted
navy revolver, shouted out, "Hold on,
mister! Don't shoot! Here's the other
lcent. 1 was only tryin' Of you"

THE ETERNAL GOODNESS.
BY ]. G. MHIrrIER.

o, friends! with whom my feet have trod
The quiet aiSles of PRAYER,
Glad witness to your zeal for God
And love of man bear.
trace your lines of argument;
Your logic linked and strong
I weigh as one who breads dissent,
And fears doubt as wrong.
But still my human hands are weak
To hold your iron creeds;
Against the words ye bid me speak
My heart within me pleads.
Who fathoms the Eternal Thoughts:
Who talks of scheme and plan?
The Lord is God / He heedeth not
The poor device of man.
walk with bare, hushed feet the ground
Ye tread with bOldness shOd;
1 dare not fix with mete and bound
The love and power of God.
Ye praise His Justice; even such
His plying love l deem:
Ye seek king; 1 fain would touch
The robe that hath no seam
Ye see the curse which overbroods
A world of pain and loss;
hear our Lords beatitudes
And prayer upon the cross.
More than our schoolmen teach, within
Myself, alas! 1 know;
Too dark ye cannot paint the sin,
Too small the merit show.
I bow my forehead to the dust,
l veil mine eyes for shame,
And urge, in trembling self-distrust,
A prayer without a claim.
see the wrong that round me lies,
feel the guilt within;
hear, with groan and travail cries,
The world confess its sin.
Yet, in the maddening maze of things,
And tossed by storm and flood,
To one fixed stake my spirit clings;
know that God is good
Not mine to look where cherubfm
And Seraph may not see,
But nothing can be good in Him
Which evil is in me.
The wrong that pains my soul below
dare not throne above;
I know not of His hate-I know
His goodness and His love.
1 dfmIy guess from blessings known
or greater out of sight,
And, with the chastened Psalmist, own
His judgments, too, are right
long for household voices gone,
For vanished smiles I long;
But God has lead my dear ones on,
And He can do no wrong.
know not what the future hath
OF marvel or surprise,
Assured above that life and death
His mercy underlies.
And if my heart and flesh are weak
To bear an uptried pain,
The bruised reed He will not break,
But strengthen and sustain.
No offering of my own I have,
Nor works my faith to prove;
1 can but give the gifts He gave,
And plead His love for love.
And so, beside the Silent Sea,
l wait the muffied oar;
No harm from Him can come 10 me
On ocean or on shore.
1 know not where His islands lift
Their frOnded palms in air;
l only know 1 cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.
o, brothers! if my faith is vain,
II hopes like these betray,
Pray for me that my feet may gain
The sure and safer way.
And Thou, o Lord! by whom are seen
Thy creatures as they be,
Forgive me II too close / lean
My human heart on Thee.

Who'll tread yon church with willing feet

And childhood, with his brow of truth,
The richs the poor, on land, on sea
Where will the mighty millions be

We all within our graves shall sleep

And others then our streets will hll;
And other birds will sing as gay,
And bright the sunshine as to-day,

r LITTLE THINGS. Little words are the
sweetest to hear; little charities fly fur
thest and stay longer on the wing; little
flakes are stillest; little hearts the foud-

Little books are the most read, and
little songs the dearest loved: And
when nature would make anything es-
pecially rare and beautiful she makes 1t

it is but a little one, aud the burden of

is what remains of them all. Day is
made up of little beams, and night is
