dictate that he should make himself in
dispensable to his employers. He should
be so industrious, prompt and careful
that the accident of his temporary alb
seuce should be noticed by his being
missed. A young man should make his
employer his friend by doing faithfully
aud infinitely all that is entrusted to him.
It is u great mistake to be .Over-nice or
fastidious about work. Pitch in readily
and your willingness will be appreciated,
while the Enlightened" young man who
bubbles about what it is and what it is
not his place to do will get the cold
shoulder. There is q story that George
Washington once helped roll log that
one of his corporals would not handle,
and the greatest Emperor of Russia

learn the business. That is just what you
want to do. Be energetic, look and act
with alacrity; take an interest in your
employers success; work as though the
business was your own, and let your EN-
ployer know that he may place absolute
reliance on your word and on your act
BE mindful; have your mind on your
business; because it is that which is GO

and remember that while working thus
for Others you are laying the foundation
Of your own success in life.
REMARKABLE LAKEs.-On the top of
a ridge of mountains in Portugal, called
Estralia, are two lakes Of great extent
and depth, especially one of them, which
is said to be unfa,hOmable. What is
chiefly remarkably in them is that they
are calm when the sea is 50, and rough
when that is stormy. 1t is therefore
probable that they have u subterranean
communication with tine ocean: and this
seems to he confirmed BY the pieces of
ships that they throw up, though almost
forty miles from the sea There is an
other extraordinary lake in thu. country.
