GOOD ADVICE.

Remember, son, that the world is olderthan
YOU by several years; that for thousands of
wears 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 million went to the funeral,
or even heard of his death. BE as smart as
you can, of course. Know as much as you
can, without blowing the packing out of your
cylinder heads; shed the light of your wisdom
abroad in the world, but don't dazzle people
with it. And don't imagine thing is so sim
pie because you say it is Don't be too sorry
for your father because he knew so much less
than you do. Remember the reply of Dr.
Wayland to the student of Browns Universe
ty who said it was an easy enough thing to
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 than the young men have for it. Your
clothes fit you better than your fathers fit
him; they cost more money, they are more
stylish Your moustache is neater, the cut
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 minutes than you could get
out with a ream of paper and copper-plate
signature in six months. Young men are
useful, and they are ornamental, and we all
love them, and we couldn't engineer picnic
successfully without them. But they are no
novelties, son. Oh! no, nothing 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 is not so easily found as a
quartz pebble, but people search for it all the
more intently Burlington Haaokeye.
KEEP BoRAx IN THE HoUsE.-Having
long used borax for various domestic and n.y.

application to wounds, sores, bruises, sprains,
ETC., proves very salutary, and is often the
only remedy required, even in severe cases.
Indeed, borax is one OF the best remedies for
many ailments in our hygiene and keeps

other uses for borax which I need not specify,
