Tae late Pail Mall Gazette gives a
depressing picture of the present dull
and profitless condition Of trade in Eng
land, and adds that it is not surprising
to hear of certain houses, once impor-
tant, now tottering on the brink Of
bankruptcy that the contraction of val
nes in almost all directions has created
wholesale insolvency; but the evil day
is naturally put off as long as possible,
the hope being held that prices will rise
and enable holders to get rid of their
stocks of iron, wheat, rice or coffee, as
the case may be, without rllinous loss; !;
that while failures are known to be in
pending, the dullness deepens for want
of confidence.

"A Self. Controlled Youth.

[ "A Self Controlled Youth.
Young men do not realize as they
should the Importance of early forming
habits of self-control and self-denial.
Nota few men of genius have been
wrecked because they did not learn I'M
youth to deny themselves o temporary
pleasure for the sake Of a permanent
benefit.
When John Quincy Adams was but
fourteen years Of age, he was selected
by Francis Dana, United States Minis
ter to Russia, as his private secretary.
Boy though he was, young Adams re-
sisted the SOCIAL pleasures of court life
at st. Petersburg, that he might give
himself to his official duties and to the
study of Latin. German and French,
and to a course of English history :;
subsequently he resided at Stock
holm and at Paris. In both Of these
gay and dissolute cities he was his own
master. But instead Of yielding to
socim temptations, this boy of eighteen
resolutely continued Mt his studies.s
While hard at work in Paris, his
father, John Adams, was appointed
minister at the Court OF st. James.
London's literary aad social privileges
would have been opened to the son Of
the American minister. dis father
would have been pleased to have
had him IN his family The tempta-
tions to remain abrond were many and
strong. But the youth turned his back
upon them all, and decided to return to
the United States and fit himself to
earn his own living. He wrote in his
diary
Ii | accompany my father to Lon
don, my satisfaction would possibly be !.
greater than by returning to the United
States; but L shall lolter away my
precious time and NOT go home until
am forced to it.
My father has been all his life time
occupied by the interests of the public.
His own fortune has suffered. His
children must provide for themselves.
q am determined to get my own liy
ing, and not to be dependent upon mo-
sense, hope, in America, to be inde-
pendent and free, rather than live
otherwise, lwould wish to die before
my time"
We have italicised several inesSof this
entry, because we would call atention to
the fact that this boy Of eighteen reso-
lutely put aside congenial pleasures to
become self-reliant and sef-snpp portins
He was rising lawyer when, at the
age OF twenty seven, the president aps
pointed him United States Minister at
the Hague.
He filled the place. His official du,s
ties were thoroughly attended to, and q
little of his time was given to those 30:
cial duties which his position imposed.
But mosto his leisure hours were ems
ployed in studying diplomacy, the
English and Latin classics, and the.
Dutch and Italian languages.
| At night he reviewed the day, and
censured himself if any duty had been
omitted. at the closesof every month
and year he took an inventory Of his
| moral and mental Stock to determine
| whether he had gained or lost.
In 1909, Mr.. Adams became our min
lster at the Court Of st. Petersburg.
He found himself in the midst OF spleen
dor. Court Life was full Of entertain
| ments, and magnificent banquets were
given BY the foreign ministers. But
Mr.: Adams continued to live in a simple
style, as betitting his small salary and

Half hidden from the sight,
Until smile discloses

Behold the work of Cupid.
Who wrought it in a freak.
The witching little dimple-
The dimple on her cheekl
The Sirens lays and glances
To lure the sailor nigh;
The perilous romances
OF tabled Lorelie,
And all the spells of Circe
Are reft of charm and weak,
Beside the dainty dimplc---
The dimple on her cheek!
We're these tho golden ages
OF knights and troubadours,

With Journeys and amours,
What lances would be broken
What silver lutes would speak,
In honor of the dimpie--
The limple on her check!

busy boys will always tone down their
voices and step quietly, and try to be
more mannerly when she stops to give

things she can, that will i'm any wav
