A DISCREET SERVANT.
An Honest Highlander Who Believes That
Silence Is Golden.

An Honest Highlander Who Believes That
Silence Is Golden.
One day at Blair Athol, the Duke
of Athol, having entertained a large
party at dinner, produced in the even
ing many curious and interesting family
relics for their inspection, among them
a small watch which had belonged to
Charles Stuart. and had been given
him by one of the Dukes ancestors.
When the company were on the point of
departing the watch was suddenly
missed, and was searched for in vain
upon the table and about the apart
ments. The Duke was exceedingly
veXed, and declared that of all the
articles he had exhibited the lost watch
was the one he most valued. The
guests naturally became uncomfortable
and eyed one another suspiciously. No
person was present, however, who could
possibly be suspected and courtesy for
babe any farther step than the marked
expression of the noble hosts extreme
annoyance and distress. The guests
departed for their homes in an unenvia-
bic state of mind, and the mysterious
disappearance of the royal relic was
a subject of discussion for several
months in society. A year afterward,
the Duke being again at Blair Athol,
while dressing for dinner, felt in the
breast-pocket of a coat which his valet
handed to him something which proved
to be the missing watch. why" ex-
claimed his Grace, ''here's the watch
we hunted in vain for everywhere last
yenr' Eyes, SIR" replied the valet,
gravely; Il saw your Grace put it in
your pocket" You saw me put it in
my pocket and never mentioned it!
Why didn't you speak at once and pre-
vent all that trouble and unpleasant
feelingp" Il didna ken what might
hae been your Grace's Intentions" was
the reply of the faithful and discreet
Highlander, who saw every thing, but
said nothing unless he were interro-
gated.-San Francisco Argonaut

THE YOUNG MAN.
The Advantages That Are offered to Him
In This Country.

The Advantages That Are Offered to Him
in This Country.
This country presents wonderful adj
vantages for a young man. We are
rapidly growing in population and
wealth. Our laws are made to protect
the many and not the few. There are
no class prejudices that keep down an
aspiring young man; nearly all our
leading men are from families that
were very poor or had very moderate
means. The necessary educational adj
vantages of this country for business
pursuit are unsurpassed, and there is
nothing to prevent any one of "our
boys" taking almost any position in
life that he aspires 20, if he has the
strength of character to mark out a
course and pursue il with q fixed, I'M
wavering purpose. This is all the
easier to do, because in every city,
town and hamlet there are bright ex-
amples of successful men for a youth
to copy after. The men who have
made failures of life are also every
where, but in every such case the cause
can be clearly and plainly traced to
some fault of character and disposition
and from the man that has made sue
cess and the man that has made fail
ure, practical lesson can be learned.
If boy will be observant enough,
school himself to think over the lessons
that are everywhere before his eyes draw
conclusions why one man has made a
success and another made failure, the
moment he brings himself to that point
he has made a very great start toward
becoming a good man and citizen. The
practice of close observation and
thought in young man increases his
power to observe and discriminate.
just as a child in learning to walk be-
comes stronger and stronger, and is en-
abled to go from chair to chair and
finally to need no support, so the habit
OF thought and observation reaches out
from one thing to another for support,
growing stronger and stronger as they
are practiced. The will power to direct
thoughts in the right channel then
comes in, and you can by practice point
them in any direction.
Napoleon said that he brought his
mind to be like a chest of drawers,
which he could open and shut at pleas
ure-that is, he could take up train of
thought, think it out in all its different
bearings and turn to some other sub
ject, putting the former entirely out of
mind. Now, if any young man or boy
will cultivate the habit Of closely OBJ
serving every thing that passes before
his eyes. and analyze in his mind the
conversation he hears, or what he reads,
he will have gained victory that will
be of immense advantage in guiding
him toward the goal that an honorable
ambition leads to. A right determine
ton at the right moment is very often
the turning point between a great sue
cess or disastrous failure, and there
fore the education of your thoughts so
that at the proper time you are able to
Judge wisely and well is all import
