Poor AND PROUD.-Young men out
of business, says the Rome 'sSentinel', are
frequently sadly hampered by pride. 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. that
"works for his board" no matter what
honest work he does, has no rea son for
shame. A young man who eats t'ae bread
of idleness, no matter how much money
he has, is disgraced. Young m an start
ing in life ought to aim-6rst of ALTO
find place where they can earn their
bread and butter, with hoe, axe, spade,
wheelbarrow, currycomb, backing brush
no matter how. Independence first.
The bread and butter question settled, let
the young man perform his duty so faith
fully as to attract attention, and let him
constantly keep his eyes open for chance
to do better. About half the poor proud
young man, and two-thirds the poor dis
couraged young men, are always out Of
work. The young man who pockets his.
pride, and carries an upper lip as stiff as a.
cast-iron door-step-scraper, need not
starve, and stands good chance to be-
come rich.

How TO CURE Goss IP.-Adopt this
rule: Let all who come to you with sto-
ries about mu tual acquaintance know
that YOU intend, as soon as your duties al
! low. to wait upon the parties spoken Of
disparagingly, and repeat just what was
said, and who said it. Still better, take
out your Observation-Disclosures and ask the
party to allow you to copy the words, so
you can make no mistake.
You will have to do this probably not
more than three times. 1t will fly among
your acquaintance on the wings of the
gossips, and persons who come to talk
against other persons in your presence will
begin to feel as if they were testifying un-
der oath.
But, you ask, ''Will it not be mean to go
off and detail conversations ?'' Not at all,
when your interlocutor understands that
he must not talk against an absent person
in your presence without expecting you to
convey the words to the absent person and
the name of the speaker. Moreover, what
right has any man or woman to approach
you and bind you to secrecy, and then
poison your mind against another Ii
there be any difference in your obligations
are you not bound more to the man who is
absent than to the man who is present If
you can thus help to Kill gossip it will not
matter if you lose friend or two such
friends as these, who talk against others
to you, are the very persons to talk against
you TO them.
Try our rule, try it faithfully, with
meeE,ness and charity, and if it does not
work well let us know.-Sundoy Mas'a-
zine.

GODS SCHOOL.

One by one, as the days go by,
To learn our lessons we bravely try;
For every hour some task is set
Difficult, easy short or long
And whether we come to it weak or strong,
Somehow or other it must be met,
Graded well is this school of ours,
Each ones duties within his powers,
And his task the thing he needs to know,
And many a time does the page grow dim,
And before tired eyes the hard words swim,
And the hours 60 by SO slow, so slow!
Various ages are gathered there;
FlaXen ringlets and thin gray hair
Alike fall over the lesson books,
And often the little ones laugh in glee
AT the beautiful words their bright eyes see
while the old sit silent, with grave sad looks.
Sklllful teachers assembled here
Pati ontly labor year by year;
Never mistake in their work was known;
Only the scholars, weary or veXed,
Idle, impatient. tired, perpleXed,
Suffer from errors all their own.
The Spirit teaches the highest class;
Time takes all as they onward pass:
JOY is claimed by the happy few,
While Care, Experience, Labor, Pain,
Treasures of knowledge help us gain,
And Conscience conducts the grand review.
But patiently learning day by day,
We are looking to hear the Master say
That our school days here are. done;
And after the last long term shall pass,
To be transferred to that upper class
In which the advanced work is begun.

The WIFE Of Philadelphia clergyman :,
on her death-bed, said to him s'Don't
grow morbid. when 1 am gone. Go into
society, be cheerful, and let no regard for
my memory check you when you see fit to
marry again. 1t is my wish; the children
must be cared for Z; you will need a helper
in your work. You cannot live alone !;
your temperament is all against it; only
choose cheerful woman, and teach herto
love our Children Don't answer me, and
don't be governed by what the world says

water from them; then put them in anap-
kin and wipe dry. A moderate quantity
of cayenne pepper should be put upon
them, if desirable; salt gently, and dip
each Individual oyster in melted butter;
place them in double gridiron than folds
together, the bars of which should be
creased to prevent them from sticking,
and broil over brisk fire, basting them
with the melted butter while cooking.
Serve on hot dish with toast, and you

into pan, and let boil. Pour over one

This is made by mixing oatmeal and wa
ter into tolerable stiff paste and then roll
ing it out into thin cakes, which must be
quickly baked on very hot iron plate.
Salt may be added. but it is apt to make
the oat-cake lose its crispness, unless kept
in very dry place. The pure Scotch oat-
meal must be used, and not the compound
sold in London under that name.
