A MAN who acquires habit Of giving
way to depression is on the road to ruin.
When trouble comes upon him, instead
of arousing his energies to combat it, he
weakens and his faculties grow dull, and
his judgment becomes yobscured, and he
sinks in the slough of despair. And if
anybody pulls him out by main force and
places him safe on solid ground, he
stands there detected and discouraged,
and is pretty sure to waste the means of
help which have been given him.
We hatter ourselves-we bearded boys
That we are deep and can conceal
All that we know, and do, and fed
Our business sorrows and club-houss Joys
From the innocent creatures who make our tea.
But believe me, sir, they can see
Right through and through both you and me!

Through which she sees that you are alas!
BY no means the lion you think within,
But q long-eared thing in q Hons skin.

PARIS pills che would be. living now."
" Camille" who overheard him, came
rushing out, and said that she was not
dead. and that she never took any of his
patent medicine, either. ssTl ~
GoD has laid upon us many severe
trials in this world but he has created
labor for us and all Is compensated.
Thanks to labor, the bitterest tears are
dried; q serious consoler, it always prom
ises less than it bestows; q. pleasure un-
paralleled, It is still the salt Of other
pleasures. Everything abandons you
gayety, wit, love-labor alone is always
present, and the profound enjoyment it
produces. Have / said enough? No;
for to these privileges of labor we must
add greater yet; that it is slike The sun
God has made it for the world.

of Banks, Mich, and Julia Olmstead is
a young lady of the came place. Julia
was once Hy's" betrothed, but in an
evil day the lover ceased to sigh for his
long. courted Dulcinea, and, smiling upon
another girl, married her, leaving his old
love in deep grief and with all her Hy"
hopes crushed. Julia has spokenvto sew
eral folks about her fellows conduct since
then, and all have agreed that it was
scandalous to play as he had with the
tender chords of a confiding maiden's
heart. She also appealed to a jury of
men on the same question, and they like
wise declared that Hyi" had played a
low game on the girl and assessed him
for her benefit the high sum of e2, 500.
