much importance and with whom

BE Content TO Work.

In recent address, President
Spofford, of the Iowa State Agri.
cultural society, gave these coun,
sells: Having chosen a vocation
whether on the farm, or office, OF
workshop, stick to it. No matter
what mans position is, he will
now and then become dissatisfied.
The farmer will envy the preacher,
the physician will envy the black
smith, the merchant will envy the
lawyer. A word to you all, my
friends. Be content; not that you
should sit down solidly and never
aspire to a higher position or a
nobler plane of life. There is a
discomfort that is divine, and you
should heed its warnings; but you
should strive to excel in that posi-
tion which you have chosen. Let
the farmer become better farmer,
by reading, by observation, by as
sociating with farmers that know
more than he does. Let the ply
sician become better doctor by
having a big library on his shelves,
and bigger one in his brain
Let the carpenter be better me-
chanic, and showing his jackplane,
at the same time consider the grand
principles on which his art is found
ed, and from the carpenter let him
become the designer, the architect,
and let him build his own monu-
ment in structure that will en-
dure long after all less nobler
things have perished. One other
thought; am certain that none
can succeed who are not willing to
work. Every man must work.
Some people have stolen living,
and found a penitentiary or dis
honored name. The hour, the
darkest hour the most terrible
hour that ever came into the life
of young man or woman, is that
hour when he or she
thought to have dollar without
fairly and squarely earning it by
work Of hand and brain, and earn
ing it honestly. The devices of
men to get money by wonderful
schemes, are as numerous as the |
blades of grass; avoid every one
IF them. Work, solid, intelligent
work, will add to your flocks, and |
ields, and merchandise and trade.
What! Work will do more than
,ring gold. 1t viii bring happi-
less, peace, joy, blessedness. 1t
will give you good digestion, sound
leep, magnificent appetite, honor,
,ower, glory and children's child

But idleness will clothe you with
ags, and these rags will be full of

No man, having plenty of wood,
refuses to build HIM a house because
he would prefer stone or marble; no
woman, with due provision of muslin
and merino, goes unulothed because
she cannot afford silk and satin; each
wisely makes the best of the materials
| within reach.
The principle applies to far higher
and subtler things. Have you a gift for
music? Do not bury it in napkin
because you cannot have piano aud
teacher; play melodeon, flute. an
accordeon-either is better than moth
ing, either will serve tor a stepping
stone to more perfect instrument.
Do you feel the soul OF an artist stir
ring within you? Waste no time in
pinipg for colors, palette, brushes and
instruction, but take pencil and paper
and draw the stone fence at the foot
OF the garden, the shan,y over the
way, the beggar girl at the crossing,
the tree struggling painfully up to the
| sunshine between close city walls +;
anything will answer for present train
ing of eve and hand. and prepare you
to make good use Of better advan-
tages when you can get them. Would
you like to De an author? Accustom
yourself to describe the places you
see, the people you meet, the events
You witness, 10 carefully chosen words
and patiently remodeled sentences
not to send 10 the magazines for many
long day yet-but for practice, the
steady, resolute practice which alone
makes perfect. That is to say, spend
no time in lamenting what you have
OF, but go to work aad do your best
with what you have-the cheap and
simple materials which are always at
hand. Your training may be slow,
but it will be sure; and every step
will lift you little higher, make the
way little clearer, and bring the
things for which you long little
nearer to you.
Above all, apply the principle to
your happiness--that, too, must be
made from the materials that you
have, you cannot possibly make II
from those which you have not. No
use in wishing for wealth, or beauty,
or genius, in dreaming OF ireer path
and wider sphere, in setting up a
fair and stately ideal by the side OF a
commonplace husband or wife, in pic
turing home without cares, friends
without faults, light without shadow
If you are to have any real happi.

The Wealthy Apple.

Six years ago, Suel Foster, Of Mus.

fruit, then just beginning TO be intro

A Mistake.

A few evenings since two Sacra.
mento gentlemen proceeded 10 the
residence of three young ladies Of
their acquaintance to request them
to attend a aurprise party. The la
dies, not having expected such an
invation, were engaged in sewing
upon certain mysterious articles rec.
essary to the female toilet. Two OF
them laid their work away when the
visitors arrived, while the third
having got up hastily to answer the
bell, threw the garment she was
sewing upon dovu on chair. The
gentlemen were invited to be seated
and one of them happened to depos
il himself upon that very chair. A
moment later be observed the Dung
ladies smiling mischievonsly, as they
glanced toward him, and he took
the earliest opportunity to look g,
round and see what amused them,
To his dismay, be discovered a por.
ton of white garment occupying
the seat with bin, and he broke ont
into cold sweat as the thought
