Our Young Men.

There are two thousand telegraph
operators in the country, most Of
whom are young men; seventy-five
thousand printers, the majority Of
whom are young men; and in the
course Of my inquiries in various di-
rections found that scarcely five per
cent. of the yonng men had any
church connections whatever. The
great majority OF crimes committed IN,
the city are committed by young men.
Of the thirty-eight thousand persons
arrested last year, the great majority
was made up of young men. Young
men fill the jails, and the average age
of convicts at Joliet is twenty-five
years. a'
From the reign of Solomon to tho,
reign of the Bourbons, the corruption
of the cities has been the ruin OF the
State. The young men Of the cities
must be saved. Give the young men
a chance. Open the doors for them,
remove the obstacles that are to them
insurmountable, awaken their ambi-
ton, kindle their hope, inspire their,
courage, and call forth their powers
by kindly words and counsel, and also
by judicious, substantial assistance at.
the right timc. You should be faith
full to the young men; keep drink from
.throttling them, keep sport from
Draining them, keep all the depravity

WHAT IS NEEDED.

A Mistaken fdea Entertained by Many--Ths
a.i Innueucs Of Chsrsetsf.
Not long ago young and aspiring
business man said to o noble ministar
whose great church is thronged with
eager congregations month after month
and year after year: II envy you your
opportunities Of doing good" s.Why
should youp'' because you have
such o great place." said the young
man. my friend" was the instant
reply, ''don't make that mistake. Your
place is as good as mine; in some re.
spects better" It Is mistake which
multitudes Of men and women are con-
stantly making; they underrate their
opportunities and their abilities. No
special gift, no remarkable place in
the world, are necessary to influence
others; the fact that one has no pro-
fessional duty to discharge in exertingl
such an influence is sometimes the
strongest possible source of such
power over others. What tho world
needs pre-eminently Is not genius, nor
culture, nor great personal gifts OF
any kind, but Characteristic one re-
suit of living which lies within the
reach of every human being In small
communities it is noticeable that there
are often few men and women whose
decisions seem to possess a kind Of
final authority; they are rarely brilliant
persons, they are often deficient in
education and lacking in any extended
knowledge of the world; but the COM
munity has tested them and knows that
they are true. It yields to their char,
Anfa nd de 70 hr3r
lives an influence which 1t denies to
their more gifted and accomplished
neighbors. Such persons are rarely
conscious of the regard in which they
are held, rarely aware of the extent to-
which they modify the lives Of those
around them. Looking at their mar
row circumstances and limited oppor-
tunities, they often feel, no doubt, that
they are of small account, and that itl
matters little what they do or say; and
yet every one else sees tnat they are
the most influential persons In the
community. There is nothing COM
parable in beauty with q noble, unsel-
fish character, gathering sweetness
through patience, and grace through
self-forgetfulness. No man or woman,
whatever their circumstances, need
miss this highest charm and noblest
achievement of life; the lists are open
to all, and there is no disability Of
fortune which makes the prize impos-
sible to any combatant But influence
springs from character, and therefore
influence lies within reach Of all. /
There is no nobler thing in life, nothing
which the strongest may long for more
intensely, than the power to influence
another for some high, beneicent end;
and that sacred privilege may be yours.

Ir has recently been demonstrated that in perfectly moist air no forma- tion of fog is possible, however much the temperature is lowered, so long as the air is absolutely free from dust, and that the more air, sufficiently moist, IS charged with such foreign particles, the more intense is the formation of fog. II filtered and completely moist air in glass ball have it's pressure diminished, only few particles of fog will reveal themselves to the most careful inspec- ton. But if few cubic millimetors ot ordinary house air be now admitted in to this filtered air, very fine, silvery, transparent fog at once forms itself, of such slight density that even in the case of considerable area of it the trans parency of the atmosphere would be but very slightly affected.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Sacrifice money rather than principle.
 Use your leisure time for improve ment.
 Venture not upon the threshold of wrong.
 Zealously labor for the right, and suc- cess is certain.
 It is the greatest courage to be able to bear the imputation of the want of cour- age.
 Genuine benevolence is not stationary, but peripatetic. It gocth about doing good.
 A mans own good breeding is the best security against other peoples ill manners.
 Our grand business in life is not to see what lies dimly at distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.
 The bread of life is love; the salt of life Is work; the sweetness of life is poverty; the water of life is faith.
 For drunkenness, drink cold water; for health, rise early; to be happy, be honest; to please all, mind your own busi- ness.

Ancient Cities of Honduras.

While Guatemala boasts more ruined aboriginal cities, Central Honduras was once the scene of high condition of civilization. Near the source of tho winding Chemelicon, on the left bank of the river, are situated the ruins of Copan, the capital of great and powerful aboriginal kingdom. The temple walls are fallen, but the stones that compose them are sculptured with graceful hieroglyphics vastly different from tho uncouth signs and symbols that cover the late obelisks and temple walls of the fa- nous ruined cities of Egypt. Recent in vestigations prove that the once great Indian capital at Copan must have been founded thousands of years age, shortly after the half-destroyed world recovered from that terrible cataclysm that covered it with that desolating debris of the drift period. Indeed it is probable that
 like Uxmal, It has been several times re-. built, for it's ruins betray traces of sev. eral styles of architecture that embrace different epochs of civilization. But the stories told by the mural sculptures and the hieroglyphic-covered obelisk re-
 main profound secret to the savants of the day. No rosetta stones has been discovered to reveal the mysterious his- tories they relate, nor can we ever hope to learn them. The language of the builders has disappeared with those who raised these stupendous monuments.
