A CHICAGO PARROT.

MIR. Bayard Taylor, writing of animal
nature in the atlantic, tells this story of a.
parrot owned by Il friend in Chicago =
when the great fire was raging, its owner
saw that she could rescue nothing except
what she instantly took isal'her hands. There
were two objects equally dear, the parrot
and the old family Bible, and she could take
bit one. After a moment of hesitation she
seized the Bible, and was fastening away.
when the parrot cried out in a loud and SOL
emn voice, Good Lord, deliver us i No hui
man being, could have been def to such an
appeal the precious Bible was sacrificed
and the BIRD saved. He is otherwise a clever
bird. In tile home to which he was taken
there was among other visitors a gentle
man rather noted for volubility. When I'll,
parrot first heard him, it listened in silence
for some time, then to the amazement of all
present, it said very emphatically, You
talk too much! The gentleman, at first
embarrassed, presently resumed his inter
rupted discourse. Thereupon the parrot
laid his head on one side, gave an indiscrib-
ably comical and contemptuous 'H'm-mr

wonderfully to the comfort of the tired

The INFLUENCE OF SOCIETY UPON II
YOUNG MAN

An1 INFLUENCE OF SOCIETY UPON THE
YOUNG MAN.
1here Is nothing i'll the world of more
cement to the young men than rood society.
fc mas a more direct tendency to elevate them
tlanany other process known. The future OF
Tue young man depends entirely on his first
lolhed associates, whether they be good or
Evil A" young man just launching into
BUSINESS Should make it a point not to mix
with those whom4he would be ashamed of in
years to come: There are many who start
Ell lnFllte with good prospects, and intended
TO actin good faith and lead honest and up-
right lives, and would undoubtedly have
done so, had'they associated with men of
unsuflled character, whose names were
ABOVE reproacfl; but no, the pleasures and
fl1volities of the other picture they were un-
aole TO understand. Society can be appro-
pflately termed temptation. 1t a PERSONS
intentions are good and he should unfor-
tunat'y fall into bad society, he would
eventually, from being thrown continually
into such company, acvuire like habits. and
flnally flnd himself in a position from which
1t would be impossible for him to extract
himself. Such eases as these are daily oc-
curing within our midst How many of us
know of men who have had golden oppor-
t%unltles, men who lost wealth, position and
honor through the influence of immoral So
clety. Look at the number of we'll educated
men, travelling from door to door in search
offood-inen who have lost their name and
standing i'll the world, and have fallen so
low that they have lost all shame. We
think we have drawn this picture we'll
enough to satisfy the young man that now
is the timH-now is their harvest = and if
they fail to take these adVantag es, they will
rue the day when they did not take warn
ing in time and become a credit to their fam
lilies and to the commaidty. But if immor-
al society is a temptation to evil courses,
the influence of proper associates is equally
strong in the opposite direction. Society
may be a temptation for good as we'll as evil.
70 a young man, who, from any circum-
stances, may be %momentarily inclined to
turn aside from the path of honor and recti.
tude, the presence of al upright person
will act as a rebuke and save him from fall
ing, while the very atmosphere of society
of this kind will keep his morals uncorrupt-
ed, keep his thoughts far away from inn
proper channels and be a moral fence around
him, effectaally preventing him, unless OBJ
stinateiy determined, from going astray.
1t might be urged that this is allowed too
little scope for the exercise ofindfvidual dis
erection, but the strongest minded are too
apt to underrate the force Of surrounding
influences.-4merican Grocer.

OUR INFLUENCE GN OTHERS.

0UE YIN OTHERS.
We are all daily and hourly making 9th
ers like ourselves. How strange, and yet
q how natural that very few of us possess an
\ individuality, that unconsciously to our
1 selves, we are changed by II surroundings
n and moulded into Il semblance of those by
! whom we are surrounded. Features may
not be alike; but character and disposition
may be reproduced in a manner that is real
ly marvellous. The nearer and dearer per-
sons are to us. just so much more easily are
they effected by us. 1t we are patient. they,
too, will almost unconsciously learn and
practice patience; if we are hopeful. they
will never despair; if we are cheerful and
happy. then they cannot harbor gloom and
discomfort. This mutual exchange of ma
lures is one of the most beautiful, as well as
most solemn and fearful things in nature.
Woe be to those who thus bring evil upon
Others. How pure should our thoughts and
\ actions be, if some other one may take them,
and most of all, that one be q dearly loved
one. The purity and loneliness Of a pure
life becomes oubly pure when thus reflect
\ ed in another.
Let us then think, all who have this mys-
ferrous power-and we all have it-of lives

moral elevation by the influence of the level

WHEN MEN ARE AT THEIR BEST

DR.. Beard states that from an analysis of
the lives of a thousand representative men
i'll all the great branches of the human fam
lily, he made the discovery that tie golden
decade was between forty and fifty the bra
zen between twenty and thirty, the mon be-
tween fifty and sixty. Tn superiority OF
youth and middle life over old ace in orlri-
nal Work appears all the greater when We
consider the tact that all the positions of
honor and prestage, professorshlps and pub
lie stations are in the hands of the old Rep
%utation, like mohey and position, is mainly
confined to the old. For it is fated that men,
are not widely known until long after they
have done the work that gives them their
fame Portraits of great men are delusions.
statues are lies. They are taken when men
have become famous Which, OIL the average.
is at least twenty-five years after they dill
the work Which gave them their fame. Orig
inal work requires enthusiasm. Men are at
their best at that time when enthusiasm and
experience are almost evenly balanced. This
period, on the average, is from thirty-eight
to forty. After this the law is that expert
elice INCREASES, Out enthusiasm decreases
MAN AND WoMAN.-Man is the creature
Of interest and ambition. His nature leads
him forth into the struggle and hustle
of the world. Love is but the embellish-
ment of his early life, or a song pipe in the
intervals of his acts. But Woman's whole
life is a history of the affections. The heart
is her world; it is there her ambition strives
for empire it is there her avarice seeks for
hidden treasures. She sends forth her SYM
pathies on an adventure; she embarkst her
whole soul in the traffic of affection, and if
shipwrecked, her caseis hopeless, for it is y
bankruptcy of the heart:-hving. ),
