Think a Little.

Did you ever sit down on a Sat.
urday night and make q careful i'll.
yentory of the week. Didyou ever
stop to consider the number of
nlckles and dimes spent during the
week for which you have nothing
to showl Did you ever think how
much moro money could have been
saved for "a "rainy day" from the
weeks earnings, had you have done
your duty to the loved ones at
home? Can you not OH Saturday
night look back over your acts of
the past week and see where you
could have been the means Of doing
good TO some poor creature, some
unfortunate one whose toll could
have been made the easier bv some
pleasant word from you, which, llav-
ing neglected the opportunity, you
have a feeling Of regret, and could
you but lire over again the days
that are gone, you would have lived
them better9 These are but few Of
the many thoughts that come to
the minds of the considerable on Sat.
urday night, and you have never
pondered over the experience of

Saturday night, aud see if you can't
improve on the next week. You
will have food enough for reflection.

Ill Reports.

Keep clear of personalities in
general conversation. Talk ofthingS,
objects, thoughts. The smallest
minds occupy themselves with per.
sonalities. Personalities must somo
times be talked because we have to
learn and find out mems character
lstics for legitimate objects; but it
is to be to confidential persons. Do
not heedlessly report i'll of others.
There are times when we are COM.
PEELED to say: ~ do not think
Bouncer true and honest man."
But where there in no need to ex-
press au opinion, let poor Boancer
swagger away. Others will take
his measure, no doubt, and save
you the trouble Of Analysing him
and instrucIing them. And us far
as possible dwell Oh the good side
of human beings. There are temi-
IL boards whore q constant process
of depreciating, assigning motives,
and cutting up character goes for
ward. They are not pleasant places.
One who is healthy does not wish
to dine at a dissectIng table. There
is evil enough in man, God knows!
But it is not the mission Of every
young man and woman to detail
aud report it all. Keep the at.nos.
phere us pure as possible and fra
grant with gentleneSs aud charity.

The Wrong Girl.

His name was Augustus Smythe;
he :was Is clerk in the dry good,
store and did not earn enough to
starve decently on, but with that
sublime assurance which distin-
cuisines the lah.de-dah young man
of the period, he was paying atten-
I ton to THE prettiest girl in Detroit.
| He managed BY not paying hiS
washerwoman and tailor to taxa
her to the operas and theatres, but
az times we're getting hard he con.
clu,led to marry her and save the
expense Of boarding. By soma
process of mental arithmetic known
to the genus he decided that what
was not enough for one was enough
for two, and forthwith he concluded
to pop. He knew that his persist
emf visits had kept other yonng
men away, and so he had no fears
of q rival. When the time cams
and he found himself in the COM
pany of his Laura in her papa's
comfortable parlor, he leisnrely
seated himself by her 0lst tbs sOfa,
took her little dimpled hand used
only to tilgle the piano with, and
said in. a bronze voice: n q /;
Dear Miss Laura, | have con-.
Guided to marry
Laura started, as he had intend.
ed she should. Then he resumed,
grandlloqnently: Il Want % dear

'No, dearest, it is on Croghann

But Augustus Smythe had fed
into the outer darkness the too

him like a summer cloud.

DON'T Underyalue the Boy.

The following sound reasoning we
find in the American Agriculturist.
It would he "a benefit to both faith
ers and their sons if its preceptS
were more often regarded.
Too many men make their boys
feel that they are of little or no ac-
count while they are boys. Lay a
responsibility on u boy, and he will
meet it in a manful spirit. On no
account ignore their dispositions to
investigate. Help them to under
stand things. Encourage them to
know what they arc about. We
are too apt to treat a boys seeking
after knowledge rs mere idle Curl
oslty. Don't ask questions is
poor advice TO boys. If you 90 not
explain puzzling things to them,
You oblige them, to make many ex.
perimeuts before they find out; and
though experimental knowledge is
best in one sense, i'll another it is
not, for that which can be explained
clearly does not need experiment
ing with. 1.-THE principle involved
is understood, there is no further
trouble, aud the boy can go ahead
intellisently.
Do not wait for the boy to grow
up before you begin to treat him as
an equal. A proper amount Of
confdence,a and words of encourage
nent and advice, and giving him
to understand that you trust him
in many ways, helps to make IL man
OF him long before he is man in
either statue or years.
The Boston Journal OF Commerce
also makes good suggestion to
parents apropos to the above.
Give him tools, says. the writer,
and let him find out for himself
whether he has got any mechanical
taste or not. Do not discourage
him, as parents are apt to do, by
saying: oh, it is 10 use for you
to try to do anything with TOOLS
never had any taste that way,
and of coarse you have not Ii a
boy finds he cali make q few articles
with his hand,i it tends to make him
rely Oh himself. Aud the planning
tint is necessary tor jhe execution
of the work is q discipline and an
education of great value to him
The future welfare and happiness OF
the boy depends on the surround
ings Of his youth. When he arrives
at that period in his life when he is
obliged to choose what profession
or what line of business to fol!ow,lt
is highly important that he should
take no false step. And il iii MS

HOnle.Making.

Mrs. Beecher, IN her sensible
talks in the Brooklyn Magazine,
calls attention to the prevalent dis
content of women with their home
duties, and assures them that home.
making is the most honorable duty
that they can perform, since the
lack of true homes is the main
cause of the strife and sin that
curses the world. "Home," she
says, sis the true kingdom of wo-
man, where her rights can never be
dethroned, where all pure love, all
right thoughts, all eligions, all gov
ernments, if we would have them
live and flourish, must have their
roots beneath its altar. This COLI
viction impels me to say to every
woman who has home: Let
home stand first before all other
things! No matter how high your
ambition may transcend it's duties,
no matter how far your talents or
Your influence may reach beyond
its doors, before everything else
build up q true homel Be not it's
slave; be it's minister! Let it not
be enough that it is swept and gar
nished, that it's silver is brilliant,
that it's food is delicious, but feed
the love i'll it, feed the truth IN IT.,
feed thought and aspiration, feed
all charity and gcntleness in it.
Then from it's walls shall come
forth the true woman and the true
man, who shall together rule and
bless the lanu.'" Is this an
overwroneht picturea We think
not. What honor can be greater
than to found such Il home? What
dignity higher than to reign lts
undisputed, honored mistress!-
What is the ability to speak from q
public platform to large, Intelligent
audiences, or the wisdom that MAY
command Il scat on the judges
bench, compared to that which
can insure and preside over a true
home. that husband, and children
"rise up and call her blessedW 10
be the guiding star,the ruling spirit
in such a position is higher honor
than to rule an empire.
No doubt man often abuses his
power, or usurps that which is not
his, bringing sorrow and woe upon
her who, trusting and loving him
should be The mistress of his heart
an equal partner in all his posses
sions, sharing alike his joys ano
