The Pleasures of Business.

No human mind is contented without
occupation: No human sonl Is satisfied
without an aim or purpose in life. The
greatest success in life consists not IN
the mere accumulation of riches but in
being able to acquire wealth with dis
position to apply it in such manner
that it shall be comfort and blessing
to others-not in the mere giving away
of money, bnt in putting people in a way
to labor and help themselves. There is
no pleasure In oppression. There is no
JOY IN grinding and exactng gold from
the poor; but there is great deal of
genuine satisfaction in being able to offer
steady and honorable employment to
the many willing hands that have moth
ing to do. One of the greatest enjoyment
of the prosperous business man consists
in being able to comfortably provide for
the many employees in his house or man
ufactory. In doing this he is fulfilling
his obligations to society: he becomes a
useful and honored citizen; business to
him is a real pleasure; he enjoys his sue
cess, when they are fairly won because
he feels that he feels that he deserves
them.
When business man has the right
kind of purpose in life he enjoys his
occupation, he feels a just and worthy
pride in his prosperity, he is pleased
with the respect and gratitude of those
when he directs abd controls in the
management of his affairs, and he feels

Mis-. Harris has been away from Nor
monism for some time. She tells of the
prophets family-life as follows:
She said that of the forty seven chill
dren, each and every one were splendid
specimens of physical health and
strength. There was not weak or sick
ly one among the lot, and all were
possessed OF good amount of Intelli-
gence- She spoke in a very admirine
way OF her brothers; told how one was
graduated with high honors from West
Point, two from the Troy On Y } col
lege, and of another who attended the
Naval institute at Annapolis.
''How did we live together ia that
great house," she asked In answer to

A SONG FOR NEW YEARS EVE.

Stay yet, my friends, moment stay
Stay I'LL the good old year,
So long companion Of our way.
Shakes hands and leaves US here.
Oh stay, Oh stay,
One little hour and then away.
The year whose hopes were high and stronl
Has new no hope TO wake:
Yet one hour more ofjest and song
For his familiar sake.
On stay, Oh stay.
One mirthful hour and then away.
The kindly year, MS liberal hands
Have lavshed all MS store,
And shall We turn from where he stands,
Because he gives no more?
Oh stay, Oh stay,
Oae grateful hour and then away.
Days brightly came and calmly went
While yet he was our guest;
How cheerfully the week was SPENT
How sweet the seventh days rest!
Oh stay, On stay.
One golden hour and then away.
Dear friends were with US, some who s,eep
Beneath the cotfin-lid;
What pleasant memories we keep
% all they said and did!
Oh stay, Oh stay,
One tender houI and then away.
Even while we sing he smiles MS last,
And leaves our sphere behind,
The good old year is with the past;
Oh be the new as kind,
Oh stay, Oh stay,
One parting strain, and then away.

The Habit Of Self Control.

If there is one habit which, above all
others. is deserving of cultivation, tits
that of self-control. The habit of self
control is but the accumulation of con-
tinued acts of self-denial for a worthy
object; it is but the repeated authority
of the reason over the impulses, of the
judgment over the inclination, of the
sense of duty over the desires. He who
has acquired this habit, who can govern
himself intelligently, without painful
effort and without fear of revolt from his
appetites and passion, has within the
source of all real power and of all true
happiness. The force and enegry which
he has put forth day by day, and hour By
hour, is not exhausted, nor even dimla-
lshed; on the contrary, it has Increased
by use, and has become stronger and
keener by exercise, and, although it has
already completed its work in the past,
is still his well-tried, true anil power
I'll weapon for future conflicts In higher
fegions.

conscious goodness.
