HABIT OF SHIRKINa.-The habit Of
Sinking is great. evil in, ou land. Sad
and bitter are the experience muItitudes
who have lost positions of emolument and
trust by shirking duties and respo sibilties
devolving upon them. They saw their mis-.
take after it was too late. It il bad
sign to see young man contracting the
habit of shirking You may set it down ct
once that sooner or later he will be drone
in the great hive Of human industry, living
without any purpose in life and scorned by
all who have willing hands, and follow up
what they can find to do. Young man, Il
you want to gain the confidence aad esteem
of your employer, never shlrk from duty.
Ii overtasked, lay in your complaints, n
you will always get hearing. If you will
begin life shirk, you may set it down as
a fixed fact that the hab will follow you
through life, and as success you will be
an utter failure"

HOW TO Buy A HcRsE.-An intending
purchaser should have the horse brought
out before him, and watch the animal ss hs
stands at rest. IF the owner is continually
starting the horse into motion, and urging
him to "show off" something may be sus.
pectsd, because it is when the horse ia at
perfect rest that his weak points are di-
vulged. If the horse be sound, he viii
stand square on his limbs, without moving
any Of them, tho feet being placed fat upon
the ground, and all his legs plumb, and nat.
urally poised. If ono foot be thrown for.
ward, and the toe pointing to the ground
ana the heel raised; or if the foot be lifted
from tho ground, and the weight taken off
it, disease or tenderness may Be- suspected.
