NEVER FORGET ANYTHING.

A successful business man told me there
were two-things which he learned when lie
was eighteen, which were ever afterwards
of great use to him, namely, ''neyer to lose
anything, and never to forget anything"
An old lawyer sent him with an important
paper, with certain instructions what to do
with it. But" inquired the young man,
suppose | lose it what shall | do then? 2"
The answer was with the utmost emphasis.
"You must not lose it !'' ~ don't mean to-"
said the young man, shut suppose | should
happen to ?" "But l say you must not hap
pen to; l shall make no provision tor any
such occurrence; you must not lose 1t - This
put a new train of thought into the young
mans mind, and he found that if he was
determined to do a thing he could do it. He
made such a provision against every contin-
gency that he never lost anything. He
found this equally true about forgetting. Ii
a certain matter of Importance was to be
remembered, he pinned it down on his mind,
fastened it there, and made it stay. He used
to say, "When d man tells me that he forgot
to do something, | tell him he might as we'll
have said, i did not care enough about your
business to take the trouble to think of it
again" | once had an intelligent young
man in my employment, who deemed it q
sufficient excuse tor neglecting any impor-
tant task to say. ~ forgot it," l told him
that would not answer. If he was sut-
ticiently interested, he would be careful to
remember. 1t was because he did not care
enough that he forgot. ! drilled him with
this truth. Ho worked for me three years,
and during the last of the three he was ut
terly changed in this respect. He did not
forget a thing. His forgetting, he found,
was a lazy and careless habit Of the mind,
which he cured.--Co,,:, Country Gentleman. !

you wanted the button there to fasten to

THE FIRST sHIRT-BUTTON.

Young Charley Overblower married about
amontl ago, aud when be came home from
his wedding our he and his pretty little
wife, Emma, took possession of a charming
flat up town. Early one evening, after they
we're fairly settled, and the last Of Emma's
sisters had been induced to conclude her
visit. Charley proposed to Emma that they
should 90 to the theatre. The wife assent
Wy ed, and both began to amend their toilets.
In a few moments Charley said: Darling,
am sorry to trouble you but really | think
| shall be obliged to ask you to sew a button
on this shirt.' I'd tss4sE sH4st eee y
"Of course, why not? 90 said Emma, de-
lighted at a chance to show her skill. She
took the garment, seated herself, and said:
II can't remember, for the life of me, where
Iput those buttons. Charley, look in that
box and sec if you can find one.'
Charley looked in the box, which was a
ease of purfume bottles, and not tinding the
desired article, he concluded he would not
bother Emma tor further information, and
pulleu a button from another Shirt
"Now, Charley said Emma, look in the
top bureau drawer, and get me a paper of
needles and a spool of white %cotton-be sure
to get the white cotton"
Charley found in the top bureau drawer a
copy of Tennyson-he remembered it well,
and picked it up and looked at the marginal
marks and comments; dear, affcctionate lit
tie girl that she was and more perfume
bottles and a pattern Of Il Flor de Fumer
overskirt, and the beginning of a sofa-cusll-
ion, and various other things, but no needle
or cotton. Then he remembered that he
mad a fancy "housewife" that he had bought
from a girl at a fair, and he got needles and
cotton out of that.
THANK you, idear,'' said Emma, and she
negan to stitch vigorously, humming a
dreamy Italian air. Presently she said: ''gOh,
charley, Won't you bring me the scissors?

INVENT every possible amusement to keep
your boys happy at home evenings. Never
mind if they do scatter books and pictures,
coats, hats and boots! Never mind if they
do make a noise around you with their
whistling and hurrahing! We would stand
aghast if we could have Il vision of the young
men gone to utter destruction for the very
reason that, having cold, disagreeable, dull,
stiff firesides at home they sought amuse-
ment elsewhere. The influence of a loving
mother or sister is incalculable. Like the
circle formed by casting a stone into the
water, it goes on and on, through q mans
whole life. Circumstances and worldly
pleasures may weaken the remembrance for
a time, but each touch upon the chord OF
memory will awaken the old time music,
and her face, her voice, and her loving words
will come up before him like n revelation.

We should judge men by their actions
rather than by their theories. A mans ac-
tons are the best Interpreters of his
thoughts and feelings. Comparatively few
men are able to express in words, fully and
justly the state of their hearts; but every
man can act in harmony with his feeling
if he will. Men act hypocritically. it is true.
They find it easier, however, to bend their
speech into deceptive forms than to bend
their actions thus. Hence, when there is a
disposition to deceive, u mans actions are
not so apt to be fully at variance with Ills
real feelings as his words are.
