How WHISKY PAYs.-Some years
ago we had in our employ a man
who, several lines in the day, ran out
of the Office to buy a drink of whisky.
Every timeh he went outthe cashier was
instructed to drop ten cents into the
drawer to our credit. At the end Of sew
enteen months, the man who had gone
out so often had drank himself out a
good situation, and the drawer, when
opened, was found to contain four
hundred and nine dollars, which we
loaned to a young mechanic at seven
per cent. interest. He used it to
purchase a set Of timers tools. On
the 10Th of November, 1876, he re-
turned it to us with interest, saying
in his letter that he has nov a wife,
two children and property worth FIVE
thousand dollars. The other fellow
is a hummer, hunting for food.-Er-
chance.

LYING LOVERS.

It was a lover loved a maid
That had a father who
Was thought to be by all the world
Exceeding well-to-do.
Oh, be my wife" the lover cried;
my bride, my queen, my own; /"
"You do not love me,'' she replied
~ fear, for myself alone.
"My pa he is a wealthy man,
His only child am I:
And all his riches will be mine
Whenever he shall die.
"But riches, the apostle says,
Unto themselves take wings; oh,
II pa were poor would you love me?"
"I would" he cried, "by jingo"
~ am so glad knew you would
in your love am blest;
Pa failed last night" she sobbed and
sank
Upon her lovers breast.
HThat makes not a bit of difference"
That gallant lover cried;
q So Ihave you I care not who
May take all else beside"
y .. = .
That night when her lover took his leave
At twenty minutes to one,
She whispered softly in his ear,
Darling, I was in fun.
"True, pa:has failed, but he his..pile
Had duly sailed by;
I only wished to try your truth
Darling. how glad am 1!
For now I know you would love me
we'll,
Even in poverty"
And as he went. home the lover,
Who was by no means green,
He blithely Rugged himself and sang.
"I know what failures mean"

Truths for Sixteen Year-old Men.

Remember, my son, that the world
is older than you are, by several
years; that for thousands of years it
has been so full of smarter and bet.
ter young men than yourself, thattheir
feet STUCK out of the dormer win
dows; that when they died the old
globe went whirling on, and not one
man out of ten million 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 blow
ing the %packing!out of your cylinder
heads. Shed the light of your wisdom
abroad in the world, and don't dazzle
people with it, and don't imagine a
thing is so simply because you say It's.
Don't be too sorry for your father be-
cause he knows so much less than
you do. Remember the reply of DR..
Wayland to the student IF Brown
University, who said it vas an easy
enough thing to make proverh. such
as Solomon wrote. MAKE a few"
tersely replied the old man. And
we never heard that the young mar
made any; not more than two or
three, anyhow. The world has great
need of young men, but no greater
than young men have of it. Your
clothes fit better than your fathers fit
him ; they cost more money, they are
more stylish your moustache is
heater, 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 a check will
drain more money out Of a bank in
FIVE minutes than you could get out
with a ream Of paper and a copper
plate signature in six months.
Young men are useful, and they
are ornamental, and we all love
them, and we could not engineer a
picnic successfully without them
But they are no novelties, my son. 0,
no, nothing of the kind. They have
been here before. Do not be so mod
est as to shut yourself clear out but
don't be so fresh that you have to be
put away 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 ism so easily found as
a quartz pebble, but some people search
for it all the more intently.-B~1''
