participate in the benefits derived from
its use. and persons who were
troubled with sour stomach, kid
ney complaints and Indigestion,
have entirely recovered after using Bril-

hottie will generally effect a cure. A
teasroonful of the medicine makes a

ghors Talks With the Hoys.
BY NJ. QUAD.

Huuy, ny IVY.
When you come to consider him
by piecemeal, nothing is more cur
ious about him than this thing we
call habit. 1t has more to do with
his success or failure in life than
YOU have reflected on. While we
make our habits, they make or uh
make us. A habit is something
which is at first underlined, but
which in time may become pos
Rive monster. The tie is at first
q weak thread which an infant
could snap in twain, but os the
years go By the thread becomes
sord--a rope--a chain which no
human effort can break. Lecture
: man on his vicious habits, and,
while he will admit the justice of
your assertions, he can not break
his bonds without putting forth
such efforts as discourage forty
nine out of fifty at the start. Let
NE talk to you little while as
boy, and warn you how habit may
spoil you as man
While it is true that some per
sons seem born good -natured and
others peevlsb, the peyishness is
more a habit than a birth-right
You can let little things vex and
annoy you, or you can throw them
eff You may have heard child
snarl and cry by the half hour be-
cause refused something The
mother will make a peevish youth
OF that child You have met boys
who were always whining tfat
their kites were lost, or some one
made up faces at them, or their
knives were mislaid, or some one
called 'em names. If those boys
grow to be men they will have no
friends. Their whining is simply
q habit
On the other hand you can name
boys who never appear to have
any cause for complaint. They
are good-natured, cheerful and
willing. and they never want for
kiend or favors You can class
yourself with either, just as you
will. All your little annoyances
and vexations can be trodden I'M
der foot, or you can magnify them
sntil you firmly believe that you
were born into the world for
frst-class martyr.
Great numbers of the male pop
ulation of this country use profane
language. Why? Ask any man,
and his reply will be: ooh, I got
INTO the habit of it and | don't
think"
He doesn't swear because he
wants TIC be classed as wicked, but
habit has him on the hip, and men
dressed as gentlemen go about
hurting out oaths that shock you.
You can become just such a man
or you can carry a clean mouth
and win respect where they secure
disgust
One-third, perhaps, Of the men
OF America chew and smoke. Ask
that man who just discharged half
gil Of tobacco-juice on the side
walk if lie chews because he loves
the weed, and he will answer:
BLESS you, no. It's a filthy, I'M
healthy, abominable thing, but
I've got into the habit of it and
can't stop" And so from the
day he begins chewing, say at six
teen, until he dies, say at the age
Of sixty, his tobacco costs him
twenty-five cents per week at the
lowest estimate, but for forty four
long years he soils his clothes,
dirties his house, disgusts his best
friends and weakens his physical
and mental system. Habit, my
boy; all habit. The first chew

for boy of your age, or you can
imagine such to be the case This
is drug store, or grocery, or bar
ber-shop, where certain men gath
er III the evening to brag and lie
and swear and discuss all subjects.
AT sixteen | looked upon those
men as heroes and sages. At
twenty / was ready to kick myself
for ever having given them fifteen
minutes of my time. Ask them
why they thus idle away two or
three hours which could be SO
pleasantly spent at home with
books, and any one of them will
answer: ooh, I've kind % got in
the habit of it, | suppose" There
may be nothing very wicked abeut
it, but you can see for yourself
how silly it is to waste time in
that manner Il is the first start
ing point in the careers of lazy
men and loafers. Look around
among your business acquaintan-
ces and you will find that nine
tenths of the successful ones, and
entirely all of the representatives
of good society, have no "down
town" loaffing places.
When boy | argued with the
rest that such things as harvest
apples, melons, grapes and peach
es were free plumber for boys. It
did not seem in the least n crime
to make night raid after those
things, and the farmer who defend
ed his orchard was set down as an
old curmudgeon. While an occa-
sional thief may be born to steal,
the majority are made by just such
practices. After few raids after
melons it did not seem so very bad
to steel the wheel off a wagon, or
wheel away a bunch of shingles
where they could not be found.
Let boy begin to-day to "coon"
fruit and have his swing for year
and he will commit some offense
for which the law can send him to
jail. Convince yourself once that
your neighbours fruit belongs to
you without his consent and you
have given birth to habit which
will surely make a robber of you
if not strangled at once.
The leading traits of every mans
character come from this or that
habit. Give boy a problem in
mathematics to work out in his
head while walking half a mile,
and in year be will have acquired
a slow gait, and perhaps carry it
through life. On the other hand,
take a boy with naturally slow
gait and give him speedy errrads
to do, and his pace will soon be
naturally increased Ionce heard
mother ask her boy some ques-
ton which she suspected he might
not readily answer, and she added:
'Now, take good long time to
think it over" She told me that
this was a common habit of hers,
but she forgot that the boy might
be forming a habit as well. Long
years after, when / met him again,
if You had asked him the name of
the President, his own age or the
day of the week, he would have
scratched his head, rubbed his
right leg with the left, and finally
drawled out: "W-a-l-l, sir, I'm
sure this is Wednesday, One
need not be SO rapid of speech as
to do all the talking nor so prompt
to answer that they may be mis-
taken three times out of five, but
speech and memory can fall into
the habit of tagging or be kept on
a fair edge. All men are born
with memories, but one with a
memory better than another has

For two years since her husbands
departure Mrs. Lamier, with her two
children, had resided in pretty cot
tage on Newton Hights, of the beauti-
ful little city of Fewton, ten miles out
of Boston. A remittance from her
husband sufficient for her own and
children's support had been received
through the mutual friend regularly
every month; but letters direct to her
from her husband came never, although
Loring said that her husband promised
to write her. George Loring had been
frequent caller at Mrs. Lanier's since
she had taken up her abode at Newton,
and it had become painfully percep-

therefore, it came about that often
when Loring called Mrs Lanier was
"out." Loring's calls at last became
fewer and far between; and thus six
months passed, at the end of which
time came the great business panic
that so numerically swept the entire
country.
In the meantime Mr.. Lanier had
successfully engaged in the silk trade
at Calcutta. He had written letter
after letter to his wife but had never
received an answer. Loring had writ
ten Lanier that his wife declined to
reply to the letters and Mr.. Lanier
finally ceased writing except brief
