Poor AND PROUD.-Youn men out of
business are frequently sadly hampered by
pride, and many young men who go West
take more pride than money and bring
back all the pride and no money at all. A
young man who works for his board, no
matter what honest work he does, has no
reason for shame. A young man who eats
the bread Of idleness, no matter how much
money he has, is disgraced. Young men
starting in life ought to aim, first of all, to
find place where they can earn their
bread and butter, with hoe, axe, spade,
wheelbarrow, curry comb, blacking-brush
no matter how. Independence first
The bread and butter question settled, let
him perform his duty faithfully so as to
attract attention, and let him constantly
keep his eyes open for a chance to do bet
ter. About half the poor, proud young
men, and about tWo-thirds CT the poor, is
charged young men, are ALWAYS out OF
work. The young man who pockets his
pride, and carries an upper lip as stiff as
cast iron doorstep scraper need not starve,
and stands good chance become rich.

WORDS OF W1sDoM-Sow good thoughts

WORDS OF W1sDoM-Sow good thoughts
and you will reap good actions.
He who has no desire to improve upon
his present condition, is usually one who
most needs improvement.
Adverse criticism is cheaper than noble
attempts to improve upon existing models.
We could not endure solitude were it
not for the powerful companionship of
hope or some unseen one.
The greatest blessings of mankind are
within our reach, but we shut our eyes,
and like people in the dark, we fall foul
upon the very thing we search for without
finding it.
Evils in the journey of life are like the
hills which alarm travellers upon their
road; they both appear great at a distance
but when we approach them we find that
they are far less insurmountable than we
had conceived them,

A MIsTAKE.-A young man who thinks
he can lead reckless and profigate life
until he becomes a middle aged man, and
then repent and make a good, steady citi-
zen, is deluded. He thinks that people are
fools, destitute of memory. Heconcludes
that if he repent everybody will forget that
he was dissipated fellow. This is not
the case; people remember your bad deeds
and forget your good ones. Besides, it is
no easy thing to break off in middle of life
bad habits that have been formed In youth.
When horse contracts the habit of baulk-
ing he generally retains it through life.
just so with boys who contract bad habits.
They will sometimes leave off their bad
tricks and doswell enough until they get in
to tight PLACE, and then they return to
their old habits.

| These three words are of immense i'm
portance to every lead of a family, or any
one whose duty it is to provide ways aud
means for food, clothing, and other expen
SEES incident to existence.
| The three words are like three links ina
chain which we forge for ourselves, and
every tire they are repeated this chain be-
comes stronger and longer, till it's burden
cannot be borne.
These three words add fifty per cent. to
the cost of any article we purchase, for the
seller wants, and very likely needs cash,
and as he can turn his money over several
times before we can iquidate his claim, he
charges, in addition to the cash price, a
profit for each time lie might have used his
money had we paid cash on the spot.
These three words, easily and pleasantly
spoken, and as pleasantly responded to-,
make man the AFFECT slave of the credi-
tor. He tolls from early nom till dewy,
eve, but the accommodating interest so
hampers his energies and depletes his earn
! ings that freedom becomes boon greatly
to be desired, but scarcely expected. From
January to December he labors, breaking a
link of the servile chain occasionally, but
too frequently adding two, and it both
ends can be made to meet when the ac-
counts are balanced, the fact is made an
occasion for rejoicing.
These three words should be blotted from
every farmers vocabulary. He cannot
afford, of all men, to pay enormous inter-
ests, nor can he allow debts to accumulate
when future and uncertain gains can only
be relied upon. This reliance too often
proves a broken reed, and, sooner or later,
brings humiliation and bankruptcy.
These three words need never be spoken
if a thorough self-denial be practiced for a
year or two. Pay as you go involves no
accommodating burdens, but lightens in
stead the daily routine of labor It is
wonderful to note how much family can
dispense with if rigid system of economy
prevails, and determination to live with
in it's means exist.
These three words may be used as tenn
porary means Of bridging hard place,
but their use is always extremely hazard
GUS, and they should never be used when
"Pay as you go'' or ''Cash on the spot" can
by any means be substituted of the

CIVILIZATION and improved agric ulture
go hand in hand, the one following in the
wake Of the other. AS agriculture advan-
ces, civilization follows. It is a civilizer.
1t seems to be the natural great occupa-
ton of man; but unfortunately the young
men of the present day look upon the
farmers life as being commonplace
With all the boosted intelligence and civil
LEGATION of the present day, we might learn
lessons of profit from the ancient hea-
thens. They regarded agriculture, a it
should be, the most honorable occupation,
and so much so that crowned heads enpap-
ed IN it with their own hands.
