HABIT.

All men are controlled by habit, which
is an inward principal. leading us to do
easily and naturally. what we often do.
Tell us what a mans habits are, and We
can tell YOU what he is, and how far he
may be trusted. as well without seeing. as
seeing him. The mans character, or the
sum of those qualities, which distinguish
him from other men, is inseparable from
the mans habits. An old writer says,
"Man is bundle of habits And this
bundle is woven into our very nature and
like the woOf of cloth, the bundle is made
up of individual threads, each put in place.
in its own time. Habit begins with the in
dividual act the act repeated confirms the
habit; the act may OF itself be unimpor
tant, but the consequences of repetition
are everything. A single snow flake never
alarms mOuntaineer. but whole mining
camps live in the greatest dread OF the av-
alanche, which is but an accumulation of
snow flakes sliding down a mountain side.
Hence no one can afferd to despise the
little things of life; they are much more
potent for good or evil than great things
are. Men are not bound securely by great
cables, hut by little threads. The oxygen
our system demands daily is not provided
by one huge inhalation. hut by oft-repeat-
ed breaths.
Success in life is built upon seemingly
insignificant tritles. while failure can be
traced. nine times out of ten. to the neg.
lect of little things.
The man who has careful habits of
punctuality, for instance, in all his engage
ments, whether important or unimpor-
tant, seemingly, will find that he needs no
word to convince his acguaintances that
he can be depended upon; his character
ensures that Habit is formed chiefly in
early life. How careful that every boy
and girl learn to do everything properly,
when the very manner OF doing the every
day work of life, so modiiies and naoulds
our characters, thus adding to or taking
from our happiness and usefulness in life.

AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.

clnred themselves free AMI independent states,

and to the country, their lives, fortunes and
sacred honor for the maintenance OF the sa-
cred cause of Liberty. sub ime beyond descrip-
ton must have been the spectacle in the Hall
Of IndeDenGenoe on the Fourtl Of July, seven
teen hundred and seventy six, when those Pa
triot Fathers signed that immortal document
which severed the thtn feeble colonies from the
parent government. the young man Of to-day.
VINO sees this mighty Nation, powerful and
vigorous, without reelection can see no grandure
or courage in the acts of the r o, olutionary
Herues who barred their breasts to the STORM OF
Britaiu's power. But let him reflect. At that
time there were scarcely three millions of peo-
pie in all tie colonies, and they scattered over
an immense territory, surrounded by savage
foes and watched by the enemies OF freedom,
tho Royalists ut home. The colonies were with.
out arms without navy, and without money,
while the mother government was well slppli-
ed with AL the sinews OF war. Our object in
pointing to portion OF the history of the coun-
Try with which almost every clild Is familiar,
is to impress upon the minds Of our readers
and especially of the young and ambitious. a
sense of the patriotic motives that actuated our
fCrefathers in "t1e times that tried mems
SOULS" And we hope that the day may be far
distant when the depalted heroes will be for
gotten, or their noble, gallant acts cease TO be
guiding stars for those who wIeld the destinies
of this Republic.

When driven by oppression's rod
Our fathers fed beyond the sea,
Their care was first to honor God.
And next. to leave their children free.
Above the forests gloomy shade
The altar and the school appeared;
on that the gifts OF faith were laid,
In this their precious hopes wero reared,
Armed with intelligence and zeal.
Their sons shook OF the tyiants chain.
The rights Of freemen quics to feel.
And nobly daring tomaintaiu.
The altar and the school still stand,
The sacred pillars Of our trust,
And freedoms cons wlll'fll the land
When we are sleeping In the dust.
Before thine altar. Lord, we bend,
With grateful song and fervent prayer;
For thou who vast our fathers TREND,

held in its influence upon the future
Of our city. In selecting the men who
are to fill the various positions, it will
be necessary to nominate men whose

guarantee of efficiency and useful
ness. A good board of aldermen is of
the first Importance. The council
should be composed of practical bust
ness men, identified with the city as
property holders, aud familiar with
the wants of the city and who will.
give their best efforts to the municipal
legislation and guard faithfully the i'll
tercsts of the city. They must be men

provide for the prompt payment of all
her obligations and the proper grading

number of candidates for each office,
and the people will have plenty of ma
terial from which 10 select the city
government.
In due time the candidates will an
