Il Your Note Good I

A Boston lawyer was called on a
short time ago by boy, who inquired
"if he had any waste paper to sell. /"
The lawyer had crisp, keen way OF
asking questions, and Is, moreover, a
methodical man So, pulling ont q
large drawer, he exhibited his stock OF
waste paper. ..t,.. sss

The boy looked at the paper doubt
ingly for moment, and offered fifteen
pence.
done, said the lawyer. and the paper
was quickly transferred to the bag Of the
boy. whose eyes sparkled as he lifted the
weighty mass.
Not till IL was safely slowed away did
he announce that he had no money.
mo money! How do you expect to
buy paper without money!"
Not repaired to state exactly his plan
of operations, the boy made no reply.
"Do you consider your note good r
asked the lawyer.
ayes, sir"
'very well;i you say your note is
good, Id just As sson have it as the
money; but il it isn't good don't
want it,"
The boy affirmed that he considered
it good; Whereupon the lawyer wrote
note for fifteen pence, which the boy
signed, and lifting the bag Of paper,
trudged off.
Soon after dinner the little fellow
returned, and producing the money,
announced that he had come to pay
his note.
"Well.' said the lawyer, "this is the
first time l ever knew q note to be taken
up the day it was gwen. A boy that
will do that is entitled to note and money
too.' and giving him both, sent him on
his way with smiling face and happy
heart,
The boys note represented his honor.
A boy who thus keeps his honor bright,
however poor he may be in worldly
goods, is an heir to an Inheritance which
no riches can huy--the choice promises
Of God. '

II was monk Just before Luther's day
who said, Il assure you, my hearers, il
| could not preach should be proud to
make shoes and If l made shoes, If
could help it no one should make bet
ter pair than l." What manly thing
that was to say, how much the lesson is
needed to day. Look at that young girl
aoundering in furbelews who thinks her
highest office in life is that of an Orna-
mental donothing. Look at that young
man whose father can scarce provid, food
enough for his table, you say the boy
ought to be doing something, but instead
he is gadding about the streets or flirting
with young misses, pursuing an aimless,
enervating life, possessing nothing but
vurufty and srcdresonrccs. Yetlhese
adolesceEt donothinss never thilk to
change their case, but the weeks slip into
months the months into years, and find
them growing in one spot. never chang
ing position, drawing measure Of sps-
tenanee, but yielding nothing in return.
They speedily become as pithy, as juice
less, as worthless as q last years radish.
In some cases this is owing to a want Of
sclt-reliance: but in very many it is the
result of want of pride. Aud yet Of all
things these young fry suppose that II
they have nothing else they have pride
but it is the very thing they lack, and
how fearlully! A man who possesses
the pride born of true nobility and man
hood, is not ashamed to turn his hand ~
honest work, but he is ashamed to DO the
pensiooner on the bounties Of others.
Young men in the vineyard, 60 to work.
II you haven't the pride and strength Of

Lo Monday is the " washing-day,"
As all good housewives know,
Memorable of dishes hashed,
And clothes as white as snow;
And Tuesday is the "ironing-dav,"
Mid cold. or fog, or lieat:
And Wednesday is the sewing-day,"
To see the clothes are neat;
And Thursday is leisure day;
And Friday brooms begin
To sweep away the household dirt
For Sundays ushered in;
And Saturday is baking day..
Pies, puddings, cakes and breud.
And then the weary weak Il done,
And we may 20 to bad.

A Lullaby.

Hitler, Sleepl A mother wants thee.
Come with velvet arms:
Fold the baby that she grants thee
To thy own soft charms.
Close his eyes with gentle fingers;
Cross his hands of snow,
Tell the angels where he fingers;
They must whisper low.
Bear him into Dreamland lightly;
Give him sight Of flowers;
Do not bring him back till brightly
Break the morning hours.
