Never be Idle.

Canada School Supplement.
ldleness is the great destroyer of
young men. 1t is sure to work out
the ruin of the most talented. Give a
young man plenty to do and he is safe.
Allow him to spend his hours in idle
ness-to loaf around ar.rooms-stand
Cd the street corners or stay about
home, with no higher ambition than
just to eat, drink, sleep and smoke,
and you lay for him the foundation of
future disgrace. Parents, you may
depend upon it, that your grOwn-up
boys find little that adds to their man.
hood in the walks of idleness. Better
to give them some honorable trade
than to trust for chance some windfall
of luck or fortune to benefit them in
after life.
If young men are out of employ
ment, let this great truth be impressed
upon their minds, that time, even
though it brings no money, is valua>
BILE. Selfimprovement should be kept
up. so that every spare hour may bring
to its possesSors some valuable acquisi-
ton. Enrich your minds by the care
full study of some good work, for you
may rest assured that your labor is
none the less for being intelligent.
Better be found studying at home,
thereby improving and discipling your
mind, than to be seen on the street
corners with hands in pockets, cigar
between your lips-the very picture of
laziness.
Nothing can be accomplished with
out labor. Excellence in every trade
or profession depends upon it. 1t is
not the idlers that make their mark in
the world, but the earnest, go ahead
men who never stop for little troubles
or give up for great ones, but who go
forward, determined to be and do
something in this world. Young man,
turn over new leat-place before you
the object of your desires and work
for it.

for me, just as we'll. Pray what is the
use of having servants, if they are moi
to wait upon us?"
The servant was sent to open the
gate. The boy passed out, and went
whistling on his way to school. When
he reached his seat in the acadamy he
drew from his satchel his arithmetic,
and began to inspect his sums.
81 cannot do these" he whispered
to his seat-mate; "they are too hard
"But you can try" replied his COM
panion.
II know that / can try" said John ;
"but it's too much trouble. Pray
what are teachers for, if not to help us
out of difficulties. I shall carry my
slate to Professor Helpwell."
Alas poor John. He had come to
another closed gate-a gate leading
into a beautiful science, "the laws of
which are the mode in which God acts
in sustaining all the works of his hands"
the science of mathematics. He
could have opened the gate and enter
ed it alone, and explored the riches of
the realm, but his mother had iniudi:
ciously let him him rest with the idea
that it is as well to have the gates
opened for us as to exert our strength.
The result was, her son, like the young
hopeful sent to Mr.. Wiseman, soon
concluded that he had no "genius" for
mathematics, and threw up the study.
The same was true of Latin. He
could have learned the declensions of
the nouns, and the conjugation OF the
verbs, as well as other boys of his age,
but his seatmate very kindly volun-
teered to "tell him in class" and what
was the use in opening the gate into
the Latin language when another
would do it for him? o no! John
Easy had no idea of taxing his mental
or physical strength when he could
avoid it, and the consequence was
that numerous gates remained closed
to him all of his life to come-gates to
honor, gates to riches, gates to happi-
ness
Children ought to be early taught
that it is always best to help themselves.

Gambling on Elections.

Cumberland Presbyterian.
Among the many alarming and
demoralizing incidents of our Ma
tional elections is the growing ten
dency to gamble on the returns.
Gambling of itself is a crime against
society. 1t has always led to misery
and ruin. 1t destroys moral charac-
ter, and units men for business. The
gambling spirit is born of an inordi-
nate greed for gain. No man imbued
with the principles of gambler can
not be a safe business man. The gam
bier is never willing to pay value re-
ceived for what he buys, or to sell his
goods for what they are honestly
worth. The spirit of gambling,
therefore units a man for honest

= Curing Hams.

We have never subscribed to the
usual way of curing hams in pickle,
believing that the dry.salting process
makes a much. sweeter and better fla.
vored bacon. The following process
for this section and climate will be
found excellent; Kill nice, well.fat.
ted young hogs, weighing 220 to 24O
lbs. nets Let them hang out all night
to cool, Cut neatly and trim the hams
of all loose flesh and fat. Round the
flesh end and saw the bone neatly.
Lay'tbe piece in the sailing box flesh
up. Sprinkle over the lean part a
small pinch of powdered saltpetre.
Then rub the flesh with tablespoon
full of brown sugar, or the same of mo,
lasses. 1t is now ready for the salt,
which should be rubbed well into the
hook and packed over the Aeshy part
fully a half inch thick. After lying
in the salt four or FIVE weeks they are
ready to hang. If the weather should
be bitter cold, the hams should remain
in the salt longer. When hung, smoke
until colored light brown with green
sugar or hickory wood. Before the
warm days of spring come each ham
should be put in a paper sack and Sc
curely tied. Leave the hanging string
out, but tie the paper close about it to
prevent the entrance Of the skipper
beetle. When the hams are laid in
the salt they should not be piled one
on the other, as the bottom ones will
be mashed into bad shapes. A double
layer will do, but it is not well to 90
beyond this. Care should be taken to
procure pure salt. Complaints have
often been made which were traceable
to bad salt.-Farmers Home journal.

Mr. Washhurn offered preamble and res

to the speaker that the Jeanette court of

to be given~to bring out the facts, and that
the committee on naval affairs be instructed
to iuve stIgate the facts connected with sad
expedition.

is similar to the Senate bill. Also for the

Mr.. Collins of Massachusetts offered a PIE
amble resolution directing the committee on
banking and currency to consider the expe-
diencv of making an immediate investigation
of the charges which have been made against
the United States comptroller in connection
with the Pacific Bank case, and if so, amend
ing banking as to prevent such fraud and
misconduct in the future.
Mr. TowDshend of Illinois moved to sus-
pend the rules and pass the bill pensioning
survivors of the Mexican war, saying it was
confined exclusively to those who served in
that war. Persons who were under political
disability were excluded from the benefit of
the bill.
Mr.. Browne of Indiana opposed the bill,
because it would put on the pension rolls all
who appeared on some muster roll of the
army of the United States in the war with
Mexico. 1t would put on the rolls men who
never saw a living or dead Mexican.
After debate the rules were suspended and
and the bill passed-227 to 46. Among those
voting in the negative were Messrs. Boutelle.
Long, Lyman, Morse. Poland, Ramsey, Ray
of New Hampshire. Stewart of Vermont and
Waite.
Mr. Cox of New York moved that the
House adjourn, the purpose being to prevent
Mr.. Converse of Ohio from making motion
to suspend the rules and consider the bill for
increasing the duty on wool.
