VACATION.
By PAUL n. RUSSELL,

The summer fields stretch languid in
The torrid July sun,
And many hearts are dropping now
Long e'er their task is done.
I seek the tunneled forest path
That leads to shady de1ls, ut a@
Where in her leafy halls, adorned
With flowers, fair quiet dwells.
And there sit alone and woo
The silence of the place,
Or by the mirrored sunlight there
The winding streamlet trace.
And, free from school and thoughts that we II
Their channels in the flesh,
dredge the past and pleasure catch
Within fond memory's mesh. sa5st

For the Journey of Life.

The following rules from the papers OF
DR.. West, according to his memoran-
dunn, are thrown together as general
waymarks in the journey of life:
Never ridicule sacred things, or what
others may esteem as such, however alb
surd they may appear to you.
.li Never show levity when people are en-
gagged in worship.
Never resent supposed injury till
you know the views and motives of the
author of it.
Always take the part of an absent per-
son, who may be censured in company,
so far as truth and propriety will al
low. .,s. ~
Never think worse of another, on ac-
count of his differing with you in polit-
ical and religious subjects.
Never dispute with man who is more
than 70 years Of age, nor with a woman,
nor any sort Of enthusiast.
Never affect to be witty, or to jest SO
as to hurt the feelings of another.
Act with cheerfulness but without
levity.
Never court the favor of the rich by
fattering their vanities or their riches.
Speak with calmness and deliberation
ON all occasions, especially of those cir
cumstances which end to irritate.

aAnd, boys, the old man continued,
slowly rising to his feet and replacing
his battered hat, in passing here this

Hunting the Moose.

: .a4f Z
Moose calling commences about tn,
frst Of September and ends about ths
fifteenth of October. A full, moon oc-
curing between the middle and the end
of September is the best of I'll times.
The best plan in calling is to fiA upon
permanent camp and make little expedi-
tons of two or three days duration from
it. returning to rest and get fresh sup
plies. Then you employ the true luxury
of hunting. Then you feel really and
thoroughly independent and free. The
Indian carries your blanket, your coat,
little tea, sugar and bread, q kettle and
two tin pannikins. The hunter has
enough to do to carry himself, his rifle,
ammunition, a small ak, hunting knife,
and pair of field-glasses. Thus &C.
coutred, clad in the flannel shirt and
homespun combinations, moose-hide
moccasins on your feet, your trousers
tucked into woollen socks, your arms .un-
encountered with that useless article,
coat, you plunge into the woods, the sun
your guide in clear weather, your pocket
compass if it is cloudy, the beasts and
birds and fishes your companions; and

if the nights are calm, or still hunting ON
windy day. Calling is the most fascin-
ating. disappointing. exciting of all sports.
You may be lucky at once and kill your
moose the first night you go out, perhaps
at the very first call you make. You may
be weeks and weeks, perhaps the whole
calling season. without getting a shot.
Moose calling is simple enough in theory;
In ,practiceit is immensely difficult of APP
plication. It consists of initiating the cry
ofthe animal with a hollow cone made Of
birch bark, and endeayoring by this
means to call up moose near enough s

BOthering a Divine.

The following story is told on the au-
thority of popular Wesleyan minister:
A German divine had been preaching in
small chapel in the North of England,
and, after an unusually-lengthy dis
course, he announced certain "six-
ines-eights as the concluding hymn of
the service. The usual preparations
were duly made by the vocalists and in
strllmentalists behind, but the preacher,
finding it too dark to distinguish the
words he had intended to give out,
turned round to the expectant choir and
addressed them as follows:
The light is gone, mine eyes are dim,
cannot see to read the hymn.
Now the musicians were equally be-
nighted with the minister, and, imagin-
ing that the reverend gentleman's init
nation was the commencement of the
hymn intended to be sung, they sang it
accordingly, to his great surprise and IN
dignation SO he termed again to them
and said ::
did not want for you to sing,
Because cannot zee to read the hymn.
These words, too, were duly vocal
lied, as the supposed center lines Of the
six-eights, when the preacher, losing
all patience, twisted himself about for
the third time, and, waving his arms,
sputtered out at the top Of his voice:
Did you not hear me on you call =?
did not want to sing at all.
But the choir, still utterly oblivious
of his object, sang double forte the con-
Guiding words of the iInpromptu poet,

ais, . wisely wound up the ludicrous pro
ceedings with "Let us pray"

Self.Esteem.

A reasonable amount Of self-steem is
necessary to secure a mans success in
life; and there are few characters into
which it does not enter to great extent.
We laugh at our neighbors, their foibles
and absurdities excite our amusement,
because we consider ourselves superior
to like weaknesses. Their troubles cause
us distress; but is not even divine COM
passion a form of self-love, or rather.
self-pity? Do we not grieve for others
In proportion as we are able to put our
selves in their place, and picture what
we should feel under the same circum-
stances? The reciprocal regard for one
another's interests, the mutual esteem.
the exchange of kind offices, which con-
stitute friendship, find their chief source
too, In self-love. If we have been in
clined to esteem any one ever, so highly,
let it be but. whispered In our ear that
that same person does not think much of
us, and we Immediately find out that
he is not nearly so charming as we had
imagined, and that his good opinion is
not, after all, worth having. On the
other hand, among our acquaintance
there may be an individual whom we con-
slider but weak-minded and ignorant,
and think, In fact, quite beneath our
notice. Wait a little; it comes to our
knowledge that this same creature whom
we have been despising, has an immense
admiration for us. All our ideas change
directly, and we discover all his hidden
merits; he has at least powers Of dis
elimination, and is some judge of char
racter. We like our neighbors much
more for the virtues they find in us than
for any we discover In them, whether we
choose to acknowledge it or not. But it
is perhaps in the passion of love that
the. very alcohol of egotism is tobe found;
lovers never wearySof each others So
scietyso long as they can keep up the in
tensity of mutual admiration; their tete-
G-tetes are always interesting, for they
perpetuallyf talk about themselves, and
should their love be crossed, both would
probably rather that the loved oneshould
be miserable than indifferent. They are
completely ruled by the self that rules
the world.
