resolved 10 destroy him, and therefore
went to the lion for advice. '<Set trap
for him. was the reply, ''and when you
have caught him eat him." The wolf
went away and laid a snare beside the
path often traversed by his enemy, but
just as he was cackling with satisfaction
he blundered into the trap himself and
was held fast In this emergency along
came the lion. who called out BY
George, but what's all this?" I'm fast in
my own trap" tumbly replied the wolf.

help you eat the hyena; but, as the case
now stands, shall help the hycna eat
you" But | set this trap by your ad-
vice" protested the wolf True you did,
and | advised your enemy to set one for
you as we'll. Odds is the difference to me
whether eat wolf or hyena" Moral

capital ? What more capital did God
give anybody?
"Oh, but they are not money" say
you. But they are more than money,
and nobody can take them from you.
Don't you know how to use them :?
II you don't it was time you were
learning. Take hold OF the pIow or
hoe, or jack plane, or broad axe and
go to work. Your capital will then,
In due time, yield you large inter
est. Ay, but there is the rub; you
don't want to work, you want money
on credit, SO you can play the gentle>
man and speculate and end by plays
ing the vagabond.
Or you want farm with plenty OF
hands upon it to do the work, while
you run over the country and dissi~
pate; or yon want to marry some rich
girl who may be foolish enough to
take you Tor your good looks, that
she may support you.
Shame on you, young mau Go to
work with the capital you have, and
you'll soon make interest enough
upon it to give you as much money
as you need, and make you feel like
a man. 1t you cannot make money
on what capitakyou have, you could
not If you had large amount in cash.
Ii you do not know how to use bone,
muscle and brains, you would not
know how TO use gold. If you let
the capital yoR nave lie Idle, and
waste and ruso out, it would be the
same with you if you had gold; you
would only know how to waste it.
Then don't stand about idle, a great
helpless boy, waiting for something
to turn up, but 80 to work. Take
the first work you can find, no matter
what it is, SO that you do it well.
Yes, Whatever you undertake do it
well; always do your best. If you
manage the capital you already have,
you will soon have plenty more to
manage bus it you cannot or will
not manage thescapital God has given
you, you will never have any other TO
manage. Do You hear young man?

VARIETIES.

They who are weary Of life, and
yet most unwilling to die, are such
that have lived TO no purpose-who
have rather breathed than lived.
The average young man cannot
hold thirty nFunds of iron on his
knees for t94ofng minutes, yet he
willingly Kills himself trying to hold
40 pounds OF girl for two hours.
"A young lady admitted to her
mother that her beau had kissed her
Gu the cheek. "And what did you
do ?" inquired the old lady, in tone
of indignation. "Mother," replied
the young lady, II cannot tell lie

A reasonable offer: Together they
were looking over the paper. "Oh
my, how funny" she said. "What is

"Ah. never mind, Ned | guess he

DON'T SLOP OVER.

Don't slop over" the old man said,
she placed his hand on the young mans head;
go it by allmeans, go it fast;
Go it while leather and horseshoes last
Go it while hide and hair on horse
VIII hold together go it, of course;
Go 1t as last as ever you can,
But don't Stop over, my dear young man.
Don't slop o-er you'll find some day
That keeping an eye to the wlndward VIII pay;
y horse may run little too long;
y preacher preach just a traction TOO strong,
And poet who pleases the world with rhymes
May write and regret in after times.
Keep the end of the effort always in view,
But don't slop over, whatever you do.
"Don't slop over; the wisest OF men
Are bound to slop over now and then,
And vet the WiSest, ut work OF feast,
Are the very ones that blunder the least.
Those who for split milk never wall,
Are the ones who carry the steadtaSt pail.
Wherever you go, go in for the fat,
But don't slop over, and stick to that.
"Don't slopover, distrust yourself,
Nor always reach to the highest shelf.
The next to the highest will generally do,
And answer the needs of such as you.
Climb, of course, but always stop,
And take breath a little this side of the top.
And so you will reach it, in wind and strong,
Without stopping over-so ends my song"

a Physician,s Opinion.

A physician writing to the Journal of
health IN speaking OF Browns Iron Bit
tiers, having carefully analysed its in
gradients, says: There is no other rem
edy III existence so harmless and yet so
effective. No other compound should
ever be used for general i'll health and
chronic diseases Of the pulmonary, di-
gestive, and urinary organs. 1t is mild,
yet sure IN its action. and gradually re-
stores perfect health and strength to
every junction Of the organs OF life.
Its action is SO very mild that there is
no room left Tor reaction and relapse,
neither will its discontinuance bring on
a craving for its use, or renewal OF past
disorders.
