STICK TO Your BUSINESS il
nothing which should be more fre-
quently impressed upon the minds OF
young men than the Importance oi
steadily pursuing some one business -
The changing from one employment 10
another is one OF the most common er-
rors committed, and TO il may be traced
more than half the failures OF men in
business, and much of the discomfort
and disappointment which rendered
life uncomfortable. 1t is very COM
mon thing for a man to be dissatisfied
with his business, and to desire to
change IL for some other, which, il
seems to him, will prove a more lucra-
tive employment; but in nine cases out
Of ten, il is a mistake. Look round
you, and you will find among your ac-
quaintances abundant verification OF
these assertion. There is an honest
farmer who has toiled few years, got
his farm paid for. Int does not grow
rich very rapidly, as much for lnck oi
contentment mingled with industry as
anything, though he is not aware OF it.

less successful climbing up again.
Mark the men in every community who
are notorious for ability and equally
notorious for never getting ahead, and
you will usually find them to be those
who never stick to any one business
long, but are always forsaking their oc
cupation just when it begins to be
profitable. Scientific American.

How Long to sleep.

The fact is, that as life becomes con-
centrated, and its pursuits more eager,
short sleep and early rising become i'm
possible. We take more sleep than
our ancestors, we take more because
we want more. Six hours 8. .eep will do
very well for plowman or bricklayer,
or any other man who has no exhaus-
tion but that produced by maunal la
Dor, and the sooner he takes il after
his labor is over the better. But for n
man whose labor is mental, the stress
of work is on his brain and nervous
system, and for him who is tired in the
evening with q day Of mental applica-
tion, neither early to bed nor early to
rise is wholesome. He needs letting
down to the level Of repose. The long
er the interval between the active use
OF the brain and his retirement TO bed,
the better his chance of sleep and re-
freshment. To him an hour after mid
night is probably as good as before it,
aud even then his sleep will not so
completely restore him as ii will his
neighbor who is physically tired. He
must not only be to bed later, but lie
longer. His best sleep probably lies
in the early morning hours, when all
the nervous excitement has passed
away, and he is in absolute rest.

swindled out OF his Horse and Ar
rested as a Thief.

The Centerville correspondent Of the
Detroit Post, dated Nov. 2, has tho fol-
lowing:
A good deal OF interest has been felt
for many days at several points in this
county in the case OF young man in
Sturgis by the name OF Woodhull, who
vas taken in" by a sharper. The
former had very fine horse, valued at
$3.50; the latter had in his possession a
very heavy gold watch Of about like
value. Meeting casually the shaper
proposed trade. After talking terms
FOR o little, tbe trade was concluded
and Mr. Woodruff was quite elated.
The horse and owner soon disappeared
Still nothing was thought Of the mat
ter. But day or two since Mr.. Wood
hull having exhibited the watch in a
. jewelry store in Three Rivers, was ar
rested. The watch had certain marks
upon il which the jeweler discovered,
identifying il as the stolen property
for which reward was offered, and he
reported to an officer. The young man
was taken to Marcellus, where the
watch had been stolen, and il was full
ly identified. After q disclosure OF
the facts in the case, he was set at lib
erty. But prospects are that he will
lose the horse, as the thief, who has
deca mped, cannot be heard from.

by the exoteric to be girl of strik-

tain hydrostatic force in her aspect
which compelled either admiration or
hate, and had been known to draw
tears Of envy. She pawned her neck
lace at Baden Baden to pay gambling
debt, and next day it was returned to
her by mysterious stranger who had
watched her with some contempt in his
hooked nose as she played. After this
her family was ruined.
