BEGIN AT THE BOTTOM.

One Of the great barriers to most
OF our youths who aspire to positions
in the business world is their mani
fest unwillingness to begin at the
bottom. They want to skip the rounds
of training and experience in the lad
der of ascension and to begin bust
ness on higher level, which in their
childish judgment they deem com
mensurate with false ideas of real
life.
Their conception of beginning bust
ness is, to start ON the line to which
their fathers have attained, ignoring
the fact that father has labored TWEEN
ty years, it may be, to reach his pres
ent round in the ladder. Young
man away with these false concep-
tons you are entertaining, away with
all snobbery, away with all toadish
externals, and determine upon actu-
al submission to your real circum-
stances in life, and make up your
mind completely to begin at the bot
tom round in whatever vocation YOU
may choose and by energy and appli-
cation, win your way to prominence.
If you want an easy berth in business
circles, feathered with a large salary,
don't be ashamed of berth on the
drudgery level of life, but remember
that all honorable work, when close
ly followed and well performed, no
matter in what sphere it may be,
brings commentator and praise.
The strong minded and true hearted
among men will ever cheerfully lend
helping hand to that boy or that
youth, who if need be, is not asham-
ed to lay hold of work in the humber
walks Of life. Then young man, as
you go into the world to earn Iiveli-
hood, go, determined that you will do
something; that you will do any kind
ofwork that is honorable and upright,
and by persistence ON this line, you
will soon meet a demand for your
services in any position to which you
may aspire. The boy that begins and
persists in labOring on this line, and
backs up his labors with honesty and
integrity, never learns from expe-
rience that there is any such word as
fail. Monroe Advertiser.

SAVED FROM DROWNING BY A DEER.

Farley Wednesday morning Messrs.
B. F. Bennett and John G. West
brook, of Milford, accompanied by
Mr.. Baldwin from New York City,
went to Log Cabin Pond, in Pike
county New York, for a days sport.
By 10 O'Clock they had reached the
upper part of the lake, where there
is a dense forest which usual
abounds with deer. Suddenly Mr..
Baldwin noticed what appeared to be
a large stump floating in the water.
He called his companions attention
to it, and John C. Westbrook said it
was deer, and the party started in
pursuit. The deer discovered that it
was being followed and started for
shore, but before it could reach the
land the party overtookit. Mr.. Ben
nett and Mr.. Baldwin shot at the ami
NAL and wounded it, and as the boat
drew neaf the deer showed fight.
The party in the boat become fright
ened and in the excitement the boat
was upset and all found themselves
in the water.
Messrs. Bennett and Baldwin chung
to the boat and finally righted it, but
Mr.. Westbrook went for the deer and
managed to get on its back, and the
frightened animal carried him to the
shore. Just as they reached terra
6rma Mr.. Westbrooks drew large
hunting knife and cut the deer's
throat and it was soon dead. When
the other gentlemen reached the
shore they found Mr.. Westbrook sit
ting alongside of his trophy in an
exhausted condition. The deer
weighed 300 pounds, and had fine
set of antlers.

HOW TO BUILD UP YOUR TOWN.

1t is a narrow business policy for
any man to overlook the growth of
his town in his eagerness to build up
his own trade. Such a policy would
be about as suicidal as for ship
captain to pay attention to the depth
of water, but only look out for his
cargo.
Whatever increases the prosperity
OF town must of necessity benefit
all who do business there. In no
way can town be improved faster
than by schemes whereby people can
be persuaded to purchase or build
homes for themselves. People who
own homes are much more desirable
customers than renters. These lat
ter can too easily escape paying their
store accounts by moving to some
other town. Now, when a man owns
home he becomes identified with
his town-he has certain standing
in the community which he desires
to maintain, and he is more apt to
pay his debts, for he cannot run
away and leave them if desired.
1t being desired then for the growth
of place to have the people own
their homes, the practical question
arises, how can this end be accom-
piish? In reply we would say that
very much can be done in this direc-
ton by the establishment of building
associations. To these associations
Philadelphia owns her reputation of
being the Getty of Homes" Hun
dreds of associations have also started
IN the west, and in this city there are
a large number in a very Furnishing
condition, assisting men of moderate
means to purchase homes for them
selves.
These buildings associations, are in
reality cooperative associations, and
all members share alike in the profits.
The monthly savings ofmany are put
into a common fund, and the amount
thus accumulated is loaned to some
member who wishes to build house,
and it is repaid in monthly payments
of about the same amount as the
monthly rent. Instead of paying
rhnt to the landlord you pay the rent
to the association, where it is placed
in your credit on the loan. Thus, in
eight or nine years time house will
be paid for, and the man will have
that priceless boon, home of his
own. If there are no building asso-

Richburg and Bolivar, two towns
in the Allegheny oilfeld of New
York, sprang up like mushrooms,
and in 1882 there was about them
the liveliness of Leadville at its best.
Now their glory is gone forever.
The rails, once bright under hurry
ing wheels, are but streaks of rust,
the big hotels have hooting owls as
guests and stray bears come and
sniff at the deserted streets. There is
no longer oil ON the troubled waters
of the streams that froth and foam
over the rocks.

UNBELIEF.

There is no unbelief;
Whoever plants seed beneath the sod
And waits to see it push away the clod,
He trusts in God.
Whoever says when clouds are in the sky,
Be patient, heart, light breaketh by and by, "
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees meath winter field of snow
The silent harvest of the future grow,
Gods power must know
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep,
Content to lock each sense in slumber deep,
Knows God will keep
Whoever says, Tomorrow, THE I'm

The future" trusts the Power alone
He dares disown.
The heart that looks on when eyelids close,
And dares to live when life hath only woes,
Gods comfort knows.
There is no unbelief;
And day by day and night, unconsciously,
The heart that lives by faith the lips deny,

A CLEVER GIRL.

A Prince Edward Island girl drove
up to store in Rosa Valley, and,
gracefully alighting from her wagon,
inquired the price of a barrel of
flour. The proprietor pointed to a
barrel on the platform and said:
"Miss-, if you can put that bar
rel of flour in your wagon you can
have it for nothing" The trader is
not given to charity, and his disgust
was conspicuous when the fair maid
gripped the barrel and landed it
clean over the front wheel into the
wagon, took her seat upon it, thank
ed the merchant for his gift, and
drove off amid the cheers of those
who witnessed the performance.

pride in the weight of their newly
born children should weigh them as

three days of life, and the loss some
times amounts to twelve ounces or
more. 1t takes them nearly week
to regain the weight they had at the
time of birth.

A valuable paint mine has been
discovered in a tract of woodland
near Lisbon, Me. Two years ago the
land could have been bought for S.
an acre, and to-day $4,000 an acre
is its estimated value. 1t is owned
by E. N. Chamberlain, who leased it
few months ago to L. II. Caylor, of
Columbus, o. Mr.. Chamberlain is
to receive royalty on the product.
The value of the land was discovered
through observation of the fact that
the mud .clinging to the wheels of
vehicles dried on like paint, and was
removed with difficult. The earth is
yellow, and has been pronounced by
Prof Stanley, of Bates College, to be
a variety of sienna. An expert from
Portland says he never saw finer
sample Of sienna, and prononces it
equal to the best Italian product.
There are 100 acres in the lot, and
the deposit, which lies from 1 foot to
3 feet deep, covers an area of 60
acres. The deposit outcrops in some
places, making apeculiar yellow APP
pearance, and in many places under
lies deposit of soil.
