Tell Your Mother.
Hearth and Hail.


1t is only when girls are known to
conceal their doings from their mothers
that they become targets for the shafts
of scandal. Innocent faults are always
eondoned by kind mothers, who know
that they were prone to mistakes when
they were young. and girl will not do
anything very eulpable If she is sure to
keep no secrets from her mother.
Many IA woman now looks hack upon
her past life aud sees that had she been
compelled to tell he, mothes of all that
occurred To her she would have escaped
sin and sorrow. Ii is said that young
girls talk too much about themselves.
but il IL far better To do that than To
tell too little, and to harbor secrets
which may lead to deplorable conse-
quences. Ii is the little rift in the lutte
that spoils the music. and ii il these
little defects of character that lead To
some Of the create st evils Of life.

Close Figuring.


The other day "a middle aged man,
who betrayed the fact that he was u
stranger in the city, appeared ut the
Central Market and purchased and ate
dozen pears. These were followed by
dozen plums, and, after brief rest,
by half of a large watermelon. He
then took some lemonade and bought
some candy, and sat down to wait I'M
til his stomach could take in something
more. In little while he was noticed
to be uneasy, and soon after that he in
quired for doctor.
Anything wrong?" asked the stand
keeper.
ayes; got cholera morbus. How
much will il cost me to SEE doctor
and get cure?'
"Oh, about two dollars"
"Just what figgered on before left
home-just exactly. I'll have seventy
five cents left, and you hold on to that
cocoanut until | get back | want to
finish off on cocoanut.'

The ADVANTAGES OF Early Povcrt

The Advantages OF Early Poverty.
1t is far from icing always disad-
vantage to young men to commence
life in poverty. In fact the worst
thing that can happen to young man
in college is to have IA father or mot her
so injudieious as to keep him amply
supplied with pocket money. Ii is
fatal to all studious habits, and in the
end generally fatal to good morals
This is equally the case with young
man in business, who is made to feel
that to him "salary is no object"-that
wealthy fathers purse is always open
20 his most extravagant demands.
Nothing develops IA young man like
fighting his own way in the world.
Some spur of necessity; some bracing
air of adverse surrounding il needful
to most men, If they put forth their
whole power. The rich mems heis,
nursed and petted from infancy, and
shielded from battling with the world,
never fairly learns to stand erect and
walk alone. II by any chance he il
stripped of his inherited wealth, and
has to learn to take and give hard
knocks like Others, he nearly always
goes under in the struggle-at any rate
he seldom regains by his own efforts
the fortune he has lost
Nearly all the wealthy and success
fal men of this country are poor mems
sons. Nearly all of the scholars, poets,
orators, statesmen, are poor mems sons.
Wealth has its advantage, il is true,
but after all, the son of rich man be-
gins life with odds against him. The
poor mans son has all the odds in his
favor. He must work or starve. He
has nothing to lose and everything to
gain. The rich mans son has already
I social position and everything that
m oney can give him. There is much
less to strive for and indefinitely less
inducement to strive

England, contended unsuccessfully for
the America Cup. Mr.. Ashbury tried
again with the "Livonia," a new yacht,
and was again defeated. In August,
1876, the Countess Of Dufierin" came
from Canada to win the Cup, but went
home without il. So did the Alta lta,"
also IA Canadian yacht, IN 1881. The
"Genesta" seems to be more formida-
BILE competitor than any of her unfor-
tunate predecessors. She is the prop
erty of Sir Richard Sutton. During
last season she won six races out of
thirly-four, and was not placed seven
teen times. Our puritan" was built
at Boston, after designs by MIR. Edward
Burgess. 1t is generally believed that she
will successfully defend American pos
session Of the America Cup. Ii is interest
ing that the old America" il still
staunch and making good time, when
Ben Butler, her present owner, pleases To
show what she can do.
