Young Man, Don't be Helped.

DR.. Prime has very little sympathy to
waste upon young men who get their
education by forced loans from relatives.
He says TO an earnest young fellow who
wants an education, but can not afford to
pay for it:
"The way of the world now is for you
to look about you and see who will help
you to get it. That is not the right way.
Look about and see what you can do to
help yourself. Grind your own AK. Sup
port yourself by honorable industry and
earn your bread while you improve the
odds and ends of time and study. When
you get something ahead, use it to sup
port yourself while you learn. Ten
thousand men are now serving their gem
Grafton with usefulness and honor who
never asked anybody to grind an AK for
them"
This is very sensible advice. The
young men of this country, as rule, are
helped altogether too much. If they
have the right stuff in them they can get
the education which they need without
begging or borrowing.

Are You Going to Get Married this Year?
New York Ledger.


To this all-important question thou
sands of young men among the readers
of the Ledger will answer Yes"
Marriage is honorable, and il il wise
and well for young couples TO get mar
ried. At the same time it is a matter in
which they should take heed 10 their
steps. If the leading motive which influ-
cnces them be any other than mutual
attachment they ought not to expect
happiness, and if they do they will be
certain to be diappointed.
1t is of the highest moment to start
right in life. A mistake in marrige may
cast a somber shade over all the future
of those in whose hearts hope and cour-
age are now strong.
Let your choice of a companion for life
be your own; for it is something in
which you can not safely trust to the
choice of another. And if you have
doubts and misgivings on any essential
point do not marry until your doubts are
removed You choose "for better, for
worse" and, if you have reason to ap-
prehend it may be for worse, do not
make it.
We always encourage the marriage Of
our readers; but the newspapers of the
times do 50 abound with accounts Of
domestic infelicities that We are led now
and then to mingle few words Of eau
ton with our words of encouragement.

A Professor of Target Shooting.

There is just at the present time an
opening for new branch of business;
we mean for professor of target practice
with revolvers.
Both men and women should take les
sons and be proficients in the art with a
view to occasional practice on forcible in
truders into private residences in the
night time.
A skilled teacher in this useful accom-
plishment might first locate, to the
mutual advantage of himself and the
community, at Woodbridge, New Jersey
where no less than seven houses were
recently entered by burglars in a single
night-and what made their crime par.
ticularly barbarous was that one of the
houses was the residence of apoor clergy.

Talking man TO death" has been a
phrase so long in use without the record
of any instance verifying the possibility
of such fact, that il has been looked
upon as a mere figure Of speech, yet the
talking TO death of horse is related as
an actual occurrence of yesterday. 1t
was at sale stable on Fifth street and a
tired-looking horse was brought before
the crowd of purchasers. A dozen voices
arose in bid Of S25, and in the noisy
way in vogue at horse auctions the bid
ders swelled by short advances to per-
feet din. The bidders were hoarse, and
the hoarser they became the more vocif-
erous in their bids. The poor animal
looked completely bewildered; he had
probably never heard horse auction
before. The auctioneer was husky dwell
ing on the wonderful merits Of the ami
NAL. At last as he shouted "Going for
$50; am | offered no more' Gone for
$50. Here's your horse, sir- Before he
could ask the name of the purchaser, the
exhausted, deafened, bewildered beast
dropped on his side and kicked his last
The verdict Of the spectators was almost
unanimous that he had been talked to
death.

Treat People with Kindness.

Numerous physicians and other scien-
tifc persons have been engaged in an
animated discussion Of the treatment of
the insane. 1t is generally agreed that
they should be treated with great and
uniform kindness.
We have no doubt this opinion is cor
rect. But We would strongly recommend
that the kind treatment begin at the ear
hest possible period, even in childhood,
and long before the patients become in
sane.
The not inconsiderable number Of cases
of insanity which are occasioned by un-
kindness and cruelty would in this way
be prevented.
