CHARACTER.

Character is SO much more than wealth
or knowledge, fame or power, that 1t is the
measure Of the man. When q man is placed
in a prominent position Of any sort what
ever, we say ut once, "What is he worth 2"
not, "What does he knowY' but "What
sort of a man is he {" That is the momen>
tous question that involves all. All Others
are secondary. Wealth, knowledge, fame
and power, are most desirable accesslons
for a good man ; but otherwise they add
strength in a wrong direction. wonder if
the young men and boys in our land realize
that character is the most important capital
in any and all business transactions. If a
man of large business is looking for a part.
ner or employee, what does he require first
and most Of all? An honest man or boy.
Wealth and position, with this first requi-
site, will be no detraction, but nothing
without it.
What pillars are to a builder, what the
foundation is, and the corner-stones thereof,
so is a good character to Il mar or woman,
boy or girl. The wise man said, "a good
name is rather to be chosen than riches, =
and he had no lack Of wealth. Remember,
boys-and it will harm Zone to remember
that what you are is of infinite Importance !;
while what you have is finite in its value ;
it's end is the grave j; while the former will
grow and enrich its possessor through all
the ages of immortality. Strive for it us for
your life, for life is naught without it if a
man die for his house. he is an everlasting
hero while if he dies for his wealth, he is a
sordid fool. We honor it in death, If not in
life. $50 teach us to number our days, as
to apply our hearts unto wisdom"

ooid enough to compute? As the old man
lay dying in the hospital q priest was sent
to afford him the last consolation of religion.
lhe worthy father did not spare to tell him
frankly in what condition he was, how OBJ
hoxlous to heaven, and the desperate life
he had led, and the necessity for his promp
and thorough repentance. When the good
priest had left him Cadoudal beckoned
feebly to a friend who was watching by his
bedside, and whispered hoarsely: "Take
down that priests address. He has used
language to me that I won't take from any
man living. 1f-I-get-over-this-I-
him-with-a-chal-" And before he
could finish the sentence the veteran duelisi
was dead,

TO INCREASE BEAUTY.

There is a divine contagion in all beaute-
GUS things. We alternately color objects
with our fancies and affections or receive
from them a kindred hue. This principle
prevades all nature, physical and moral.
Let those who would trace an expression OF
serenity and tenderness ON a human face,
watch a person of sensibility as he gazes
upon a painting by Claude or Raphael. In
contemplating a fine picture, we drink in Its
spirit through our eyes. Halovely woman
would increase her charms, let her gaze
long and ardently ON all beauteous images.
Let her not indulge those passions which
deform the features. but cultivate, on the
contrary, every soft affection. 1t will soon
become an easy task, for one good feeling
suggests and supports another. We invol-
UNFAIRLY adapt our aspect to our emotions,
and long habits of thought and feeling
leave a permanent impression on the coun-
tenance. Every n believes thus far in
~physiognomy, and acts more or less decid-
edly upon his belief. "A fierce man often
looks beautifully tender and serene when
either caressing or being caressed, and de-
ceiyes us like an ocean in a calm, which at
times is the .'gentlest of all things. "--Liter-
airy Leaves.

BY ALL MEANS BE AN EDITOR.

An editor is the happiest being on earth.
He has little or nothing to do, and his pay
h all that heart could wish. His sanctum,
with its Persian rugs and Turkish carpets,
its costly rosewood furniture, its magnifi.
cent mirrors, its beautiful pictures, its COM
plete library of splendidly>bound books, its
silver bell to summon an attendant, and, in
short, with its everything that human inge-
nuity can devise for his comfort and pleas
ure, is a perfect little paradise, where he sits
or lounges and reigns a young lord, with the
world of fashion and pleasure at his feet.
And then anybody can be an editor-no
study, no preparation, no brains, nothing
but a little money to start with, and once
started the money pours in upon you in a
steady stream, and the chief labor of your
wife is TO spend it. As for the labor of edit
ing a newspaper, that is mere Moonshine.
A mere glance at the columns of a newspa-
per Is enough to convince you that it re-
qlires no labor to edit it, and less brains. 1t
is certainly a glorious life, that of an editor;
a life of luxurious ease and of elegant leis-
urea life filled. like that of a young lover
in his first dream of requitted love, with
flutes and rose leaves and moonbeams. That
all men are not editors is one of the stran-
gest things beneath the stars. True, there
must be doctors and lawyers and merchants
and shoemakers and peanut dealers and the
like, and all these callings must be filled by
somebody, but there are enough to till
them, and why they don't become editors
and lead the life of opulent princes is a thing
that staggers us. Bnt after all, it may be
repugnant to som natures to become edi-
tors. The life Of ease and elegance and lux
ury, and exemption from all care and tolls
and debts and duns, would oon become
bore to him and he would spend his nights
in dreaming of ploughs and pItchforks and
reaping machines, and squander his days in
devising some plan for swapping places with
a blaeksmith's apprentice or a streetcal
| driver.-Lcuisviue Courier Journal.

And listen to the ripping rill,

Invoking the All Fathers aid;
For blessings on your weary head,

An earnest prayer for grace divine,
For help to head these dear ones, mine,
Unto the mercy seat.
For what q weight of care,

In fitting our loved ones to be

THE HON { CIR Gle.
GETTING MARRIED.

The Rev. Mathew Hale Smith, IN q recent
lecture on "Our Young Married People,"
after quoting various portions OF the Bible
to show that conjugal love is inculcated in
every portion of it, went on to speak of the
relations between husband and wife. If the
husband demands reverence from his wife,
he must in turn treat her with the respect
due her, and make her feel that the respect
and reverence is mutual. Many ladies make
a bargain with the minister before they are
married that the word obey shall be omitted
from the service. The omission makes no
difference. The Bible says distinctly that
the wife must obey her husband, and the
laws both Of God and nature demand q
proper Obedience to a husbands wishes.
When a young couple get married they
know really nothing about one another In
most instances and have to became acquaint-
ed with each others character and qualities
after they are united. They can not learn
these things before, because courtslfp Is full
of deceptions> The man deceives the
woman aud the deceives the man,
but in most cases the wcman gets the best
Of the man. Young people are in to great
haste to get married, and nine-tenths of the
marriages turn out badly because the court
ship and engagement are too brief. After
marriage, men are too often in the habit OF
leaving the family affairs and the bringing
up of the children entirely to the mother,
thinking they have done their entire duty
in earning the money to support them.
Many men know nothing of their own chill
dren, of their associations and habits of life.
They take no pains to study their charac-
tiers, and in some cases hardly know them
when they see them. One man in New
York was in the habit of going to his bust
ness on Monday morning and not returning
until Saturday night, when his wife would
have the children properly dressed, and
would bring them into the parlor and intro
duce them to their father. The great con-
illicit as to who shall be head Of the house is
a subject that is agitating the whole world,
and is the cause OF most family quarrels. In
i. true marriage there should be no such con.
Illicit, both should be willing to give way
and to make mutual concessions. 1t is terri.
Die blow to a mother to give up her daugh.
Ter to a stranger, and to find that the affec
1'an which she has tostered and called on
ny years of loving care was transferred tt
some man OF whom the daughter knew
almost nothing. 1t does not take muct

GOLDEN ShEAvES.
There's never n day SO sunny
But a little cloud appears;
There's never q life so happy
But has Mad its time Of tears;

But has Mad its time of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
1t passion drives, let reason hold the
reins.
A man has no more good than he gets
good by.
The end Of passion is the beginning of
repentance.
Graft must be al. charge for clothes, but
truth must &c naked.

We commend the horse for his strength
and sureness OF foot, and not for his rich
caparisons; the greyhound for his share of
heels, not for his fine collar the hawk for
his wings, not for his jesse and bells. Why
in like manner do we not value a man for
what is properly his own? He has 81 great
