A WORD ABOUT MArRIAoB.-A ply
sician writes the following sensible ad
vice; Ny profession has thrown me
among women of all classes. and nv ok
perience teaches me that God lever gave
man a greater proof of His love than to
place woman here with him. Ny advice
is-Go propose to the most sensible girl
you know. fshe says yes, tell her how
much your income is, from what source
derived. and tell her you will divide the
last shilling with her, and love her with
all your heart in the bargain. And then
keep your promise. My word for il. she
will live within your income, aad to
your last hour you will regret that you
did not marry sooner. Don't worry
about feminine extravaganza and femi-
nine untruth, Just you be true to her,
love her sincerely. and throw it up to
her fredusntly, and q more fond, faith
ful, foolish slave you will never meet
anywhere. You WON'T dsserve, know,
bat she will never SEQ it. Now throw
aside pride and sslfshness, and see what
will come oft.

HOLD On, BoYs.-Hold on to your
tongue when you are just ready to swear,
lie or speak hsrshly, or use An impro-
word. Hold on to your hand when you
are about to punch, strike, scratch, steal
or do any improper act. Hold on TO
your foot when you are on the point of
kicking, running OFF from study, or pur-
suing the path of error, shame or crime.
Hold on to your temper when you are
angry, excited, or imposed upon, or
others are angry with you. Hold On to
your heart when evil associates seek
your company and invite you to join
in their mlrth, games and revelry.
Hold on TO your good Rsme at all
times, for it is Of more value than gold, +,
high places, or fashionable attire. Hold
on to the truth, for it will serve you well,
and do you Throughout. eternity. Hold
on to virtue-it is above all price to
you in all times and places. Hold on to
your good character, for it is and will
ever be your best wealth.

COST OF DIAMOND DIGGING.

Diamond digging is expensive. We
will take, for example, the average dig
ger. who owns quarter OF claim and
works his own ground. lie can take his
choice. according to locality, OF paying
from $1,000 to $4,000 for his quarter
claim. e.. IA feet by 81 feet. 1t pays
best TO buy high-priced ground. His
outfit of digging tools, washing machine,
etc, will cost say 81 600. His gang of
twenty Kaffirs will cost him five dollars
each per week, or 800. One overseer
besides himself, twenty-five dollars per
week. Meat and toSacco for Kaffirs, five
dollars per week extra. Then expenses
of caring and taxes will make his total
OUTLAY at least 5000 per week, or over
$4,000 year, exclusive of his own ex-
penses Of living. If one cannot spend
$500 per month, believe it is OF no use
to go To Kimberley TO dig for diamonds.
To offset his expenses is, Of course, good
luck in finding" and from the very
beginning Of operations the digger often
not clears expenses, but makes n hand
some profit. There is no doubt that dia-
mond diggings pays two-thirds of those
who engage in it. we'll. The fortunes
made. as rule, are small and numerous.
Rarely has any one cleared $50, 900 from
evenly distributed, and chiefly attainable
by those who can begin with say flom
SO, 900 to S5, 900.
The amount of monev paid for Kaffir
labor is enormous. For instance, there
are thousand wheels allowing five
Kaffirs to each, we would have 5000 la
borers daily ut The mine. These, at s.
each per week, are psid S25. 600. or $780,
600 per month, or 81 100000 per yesr,
and this for 5000 Kaffirs only. The as.
ssssment OF the Kimberley mine for the
year 1877, simply for tho purpose of dis
tribution Of rates or taxes, was S5,15l. 500
or about $7.000,000, il W. add third to
bring. tho first amount up TO selling
prices. 1t apparently nsver occurs to
the digger TO inquire ixto the unstable
nature Of the whole Kim mberley fabric
Immense sums of money are invested in
and around the mine, and owners Of the
town lots, of houses, Of public buildings,
and Of claims, have settled into the calm
est fesling OF security. But no fear dis
turbs the diggers of Kim berley. His be-
lief in the Immortality of the mine is
supreme. But there are influences a.
work which is crowding the smaller
capitalist from the fields. The increasing
depth ,erum bling reef, infowing water are
fast multiplying expenses OF WORKING
The great bugbear of the digger is the
word company" but even now smsll
proprietorships are becoming merged
in large asgregstions Of claims, and the
next phase of mining operations must
ubtedly be that of several large and
competing companies, or perhaps single
one controlling the whole mine. Then
the individual romance of diamond hunt.
ing will he over. But there ia no danger
that the diamond will ever beceme com
mon. Nature has place it in lands diff
cult OF access, and it is likely to remain
royal gem, surrounded with the seclusion
OF royalty DR.. W. J, N rton, in

A LEGEND OF PETER THE GREAT
BROUGHT TO MIND.-The legend of
Peter the Greats apprenticeship is
brought to mind by little story which
is told By the Philadelphia Times. In
August last quiet looking Russian OF
the blonde type applied at John Roach's
ship yard, at Chester, for work. August
Bummer was the name he gave, and
previous 20 going there, he said, he had
been connected in some capacity with
the Russian frigate CrdySser, which had
few days before left Cramps ship
yard, where it had been lying some
time for repairs. Bummer could speak
tolsrably good English, and seemed quite
easy on the matter of salary, telling
the ship builder that wages were not so
much an object with him as the ac-
quiring Of knowledge AS to the Ameri-
can method Of building ships. He was
in the employ of his own government,
he said. and received regular salary
from it. Mr.. Roach placed him in the
mschinists' or erecting department.
There he worked about three months.
In October be gave up his situation and
LETT the town, and his companions had
already forgotten him when it was An
nounced that Russian naval construct
or in this country was in active com
munication with the Russian minister
at Washington, and with his own gov
ernment, in reference, it WAS believed,
to ttulg out American ships for cruis-
ers. Incidentally it was mentioned that
he had been employed at Roach ship
yard.
