EDUCATION.

An ancient physician, when asked his
opinion as to the time when a child's ed
ucation should be commenced, replied:-
"Begin twenty years before he is born,
by training his mother" The old doc
tor was right. The best inheritance a
boy can have is a sensible mother. Un-
less boy is possessed of very peculiar
disposition, his mother can make him
she pleases. A mother should
aim to lift her children to a higher plane
than her own, by giving them more
healthful bodies wider and more sys-
tematic education, and higher sense of
moral responsibility. To accomplish this
she must begin when they are very
young, and make them, so far as she
can, acquainted with the world of nature
around them, and always meet their Gu
riosity and developing thoughtfulness
with sympathy and attentive respect
By this means her higher aim to cult
vate their moral and intellectual nature
will be greatly assisted.

HUMAN labor is the source of all value.
An article or commodity possess value in
proportion to the amount of human labor
it represents. A bushel ofwheat is worth
gold dollar only because it has required
the same amount of human labor to pro-
duce it as it has required to produce
gold dollar. If an unfavorable season
should require twice as much human la
Dor to produce a bushel of wheat as it
would to produce a gold dollar, the wheat
would be worth two dollars per bushel,
and would command two dollars in price.
And this illustration is true of all other
products of human labor. 1t constitutes
the intrinsic value of all things. A gold
dollar possesses intrinsic value to that
amount, because it has cost so much hui
man labor to produce it, A paper dollar
has but little intrinsic value, only the
cost of its production, which does not
equal half of one per cent,-N. Y. Sun,

READING.

No time to read Why, the most ac-
tive business man can read newspapers
half an hour every day, and digest twen-
W or thirty duodecimoes every year. 1t
requires no great industry to read an
octave once month, most of it while
waiting for meals. 1t has been done
many time, A studious man, finding
he was called to dinner every day few
moments before it was ready, employed
those odd moments in writing work
which eventually sweled into several
volumes.
VIM, Clifford, the critic VIM. Carey,
missionary; Samuel Drew, the theologian;
and Roger Sherman, the statesman, all
shoemakers in early life, found time to
read while working on the bench. John
kltto, when boy, was an apprentice at
the same trade, and some of the material
for his Biblical works was compiled while
working on shoes fourteen or fifteen
hours a day Robert Nicoll, the Scotch
poet herding cattle in very early boy
hood, used to read his book while on the
road going to and from his work. Though
but 7 or years old he had learned to
drive his studies as well as the cattle.
The writer once knew a lad who never
went to the mill without taking a book
worth reading, He went with an OK
cart, and read not only while the grst
was being ground, but while the team
was on the road. He took his newspaper
into the bayfield,, and read in the spare
moments while his co-laborers were
wiping off sweat under shade tree,
drinking cool water with ginger and mo-
lasses in it, smoking and talking nom
sense.
In this age, pre-eminent for newspa-
pers, periodicals and books, there is no
excuse for idleness, and anybody who
loves knowledge for the benefit and the
pleasure it Affords can find time to Sc
cure an inkling OF it, We can all have
leisure by driving business

A Stone weighing nearly four pounds
was discovered IN a cherry log that
squared about I8 inches. The stone was
imbedded in the timber 8 feet from the
but, and about six inches from the sur
face. The log was being sawed by Yoder,
Screene & Co., and the stone was dis
covered only when the saw passed
through it, creating considerable smoke
and noise, something like rasping, and
about quarter ofan inch was taken from
the saw feeth. The stone seems to be of
the common sandstone variety, and must
have got there many years ago, when the
tree was comparatively small. The tim

ADvERslTY.-Men, apparently useless
and purposeless, have, when placed in
positions of difficulty and responsibility,
exhibited powers of character before un-
suspected. Some Of the greatest minds
that have existed upon the earth would
never have made their rare gifts of bene-
fit to others, had they not been drawn
out and purified by adversely. The po-
cts, whose sublime strains have cheered
so many hearts, have learned in suffer-
ing what they taught in song Had
their paths in life been strewn with ro-
ses, had they been waited onward by the
favoring gale of prosperity, the multi
tudes would have missed those grand in
spring words that have so helped them
in the weary battle of life.

SOLOMON RAY.

A hard, close man was Solomon Ray,
Nothing of value he gave awsy;
He boarded and saved;
He pinched and shaved;
And the more he had the more he craved.
The hard earned dollars he toiled to gain
Brought him little but care and pain,
For little he spent,
And all he lent
He made it bring him twenty per cent.
Such was the life of Solomon Ray;
The years went by, and his hair grew gray.
His cheeks grew thin
And his soul within
Grew hard as the dollar he worked to win,
But he died, one day, as all men must,
For life is Aeeting and man but dust.
The heirs were gay
That laid him away,
And that was the end of Solomon Ray.
They quarreled now, who had little cared
For Solomon Ray while his life was spared
His lands were sold,
And his hard-earned gold
All went to the lawyers, am told.
Yet men will cheat and pinch, and save,
Nor carry their treasures beyond the grave.
Their gold some day
Will melt away,
Like she selfish savings of Solomon Ray.
