Advice to a Young Man.

And then remember, son, that the
world is older than you are by several
years; that for thousand of ears it has
been so full OF smarter and better young
men than yourself that their feet stuck out
Of the dormer windows; that when they
died the old globe went whirling on, and
not one man in ten millions went to the
funeral or even heard of the death. Be
as smart as you can, Of course. Know as
much as you can without blowing the
packing out Of your cylinder head; shed
the light Of your wisdom abroad in the
world, but don't dazzle people with it.
And don't imagine thing Is so simply be.
cause you say it is. Don't be too sorry
for your father because he knows so much
less than you do, remember tine reply Of
Dr.. Wayland to the student of Brown
University who said it was an easy thing
10 make proverbs such as Solomon wrote:
make few. "tersely replied the old man.
And we never heard that the young man
made any. Not more than two or three,
anyhow. The world has great need Of
young men, but no greater need than the
young men have of it. Your clothes fit
you better than your fathers fit him; they
cost more money; they are more stylish;
your mustache is heater; the cnt of your
hair is better, and you are prettier-oh,
far prettier than "pa." But, young man,
the old gentleman gets the biggest salary,
and his homely, scrambling signature on
the business end of check will drain
more money out Of the bank in five min
utes than you could get out with ream
of paper and copper-plate signature in
six months. Young men are useful,
son, and they are ornamental, and we all
love them, and we couldn't engineer a
picnic successfully without them. But
they are no novelties son. Oh. no, moth
ing of the kind. They have been here
before. Don't be so modest as to shut
yourself clear out, but don't be so fresh
you will have to be put away in the cool
to keep from spelling. Don't be afraid
that your merit will not be discovered.
People all over the world are hunting for
you, and if you are worth finding they
will find YOU. A diamond isn't so easily
found as quartz pebble, but people
search for it all the more intently.-Bur-
lington Hawkeye.

The Prince of Wales Debt.

The Prince of Wales. who for some
years past has been on the high tide of
popularity, has recently given great UNI
bragg to Somersetshire and Cornish ten
antry by resembling decision to reduce
their rents-on account of the present
hard times-by IS per cent The poor
Prince is placed in rather an awkward
position; his mothers niggardliness and
his own lavish disposition have combined
to involve him tremendously in dept. l
am told on good authority tina, his Royal
Highness is indebted to London trades
men alone in the sum of e., 100000.
Of course, the heir apparent can obtain
unlimited credit; all his creditors are sure
of their money sooner Or later. and even
in the event OF his death before his ascen-
sion to the throne, there is no doubt OF
their being paid in full. Still the claims
upon his purse are most pressing, and the
question of "ways and means" which
many poorer man has lately had to take
most seriously into consideration, has not
been without significance to the future
King Of England. Most Of the gentry
and noblemen of England have lately
thought it their duty, or policy, to forego
a considerable portion Of their income TO
those who till their lands. The Duke
Of Bedford has RENTED 50 per cent Of
his rents, which is clear loss Of f7o,-
900 year to him. Whatever the faults
Of the Prince Of Wales may be, stinginess
could never be Justly ascribed to him, and
very dire must have been the necessity
which could have induced him to alter
the determination he had come to, to
follow the example Of SO many leading
peers and gentry in sacrificing portion
Of their income to the pressing needs Of
the distracted and disheartened English
farmers. =. London Correspondence Of the

A New Order.

Queen Victoria has just instituted a
new order. 1t is 10 be bestowed upon
those trained female nurses who, by their
skill and conduct, deserve high recogni-

ing that time $sso year in addition to
the salary paid her by the institution to
which she belongs, and she will be per.
mirted to wear for life the royal badge or

ton Of forming the order was to raise
the social position Of the nurses, and Sc.
cure for those deserving persons that high
station to which they are entitled" Three

Dakota's Great Wheat Farm.

The largest cultivated wheat farm on
the globe is said to be the Grondin farm,
not far from the town of Fargo, Dakota.
1t embraces some 10000 acres, both
government and railway land, and lies
close to the Red river. Divided into
four parts, it has dwellings, granaries,
machine shops, elevators, stables for 200
horses, and room for storing 1000, 1000
bushels of grain. Besides the wheat
farm, there is stock farm of 10000
acres. In seeding time, seventy to eighty
men are employed, and during harvest
$50 to 800 men. Seeding begins about
April 9th and continues through the
month, and is done very Systematically,
the machines following one another
around the field some four rods apart.
Cutting begins about August Sth and
ends the forepart of September, sue
ceeded by the thrashing with eight
steam thrashers. After thrashing, the
stubble ground is plowed with great
plows, drawn by three horses and cutting
two burrows, and this goes on until
about November lst. There are many
other large farms in the Territory. The
average yield of the Dakota wheat farm
is from twenty to twenty-five bushels
per acre.-Spirit of Kansas.

The Death Penalty.

1t may be said thai there is at least one
social reform on which NJ. Hugo has
dwelt consistently through all its phases
the abolition Of capital punishment. Like
those branches of mathematics which in
volve infinite quantities, any question
concerned with human life and death is
lurking place Of fallacies. We will speak
here only of NJ. Hugo's ground Of objec-
ton, which lies in the cruelty Of the
punishment. So far as the cruely con-
sists in the pain of anticipation, that pain
is divisible into two factors-regret at
leaving family unprovided for, and ac-
,ual terror. the first factor, if felt At all,
is felt equally by the convict who is 60.
ing to the galleys for life. And the
second factor we may surely neglect. II
a man has left his neighbor's family
mourning, we need not be tender over
few days Of selfish terror for himself.
Then comes, according to M. Hugo. the
GROWING cruelty Of removing him from
this world. We may reply that if we re-
move him from his home to prison for
life we are pretty sure that we are doing
him an injury. But if, instead Of this. ne
remove him from the earth altogether. we
have no means OF knowing whether we
are doing him an injury or not. Surely,
there are plenty Of other benevolent
causes TO be taken up, which if less sus-
ceptible Of pathetic advocacy, are also
less dependent on turn Of metaphysics.

Perhaps skeptics may be compelled tc
acknowledge, after while, that girls
can do something besides dress and flirt.
From the University Of Michigan Chron'
icle we observe that every year since
they have been admitted to that institu.
ton, with the exception of 1878, more
girls than boys, in proportion to their
respective numbers, have passed success
fully through the course and then grad
uated. The per cent. of girls in ~ was
100; of boys, 80; Of girls in 10 was 100
of boys, 20, of girls in "a was 70; Of
boys, SO; of girls in rs WAS 20; Of boys,
GO; Of girls in &c was e.; of boys, 63;

Gently girls were admitted to the privil-
eyes Of the University of London. Con

the eleven who entered, passed, six Of

him to his home.

commanded Mr.. Grey, and he slowly
made his way into the little room he
had left an hour before with such differ
ent feelings. The light was burning
brightly, the papers scattered about, the
open book, even the little lace trimmed
handkerchief that in her haste she had
dropped upon the floor, all spoke elo-
quently of the dear little wife. and Fred
groaned as he picked up, with nervous
fingers, card from the. table, on which
was written "Gone with handsome

Fred laid it down quickly, as though
the innocent pasteboard scorched his
fingers, not noticing in his haste, that
the name was the maiden one of his
Rosa, and, falling upon the sofa, buried
his face in the pillow and moaned
"My little dove gone-given TO an
other-lost to me"
Soon the sound of carriage wheels
reached him. There was a soft rustic
across the carpet, and two hands touched
him, while sweet, familiar voice cried :
"Poor Fred are you sickl Brother
George has come" she completed, breath
less, as he sat up, looking pale and bag

Rosa, nesting closer. "But you de-
