HOW TO DO THINGS.
Difference in the Methods of Discouraged
and Self-Confident Elem.

There are difficulties in the way of doing
any thing one has to do in this world; and
there is possibility of comprising the
difficulties in the way of any thing one has
to do in this world. One man, when he is
asked to do any thing he is set to do, looks
first at the difficulties in the way of it's do
ing, and speaks of those difficulties as if
they were barriers to its accomplishment
Another man, when he is asked to do any
thing he is set to do, looks first at the pos
sible way of doing that thing; and, if he
says any thing at all, he speaks Of the way
in which he intends to do that thing.
These two classes of men are found
in every sphere of life. Men of the
couraging persons. Even if they finally do
their work successfully they have made
themselves, and they have made those who
are over them and thosesWho are about
Them miserable while they were doing
what they were set to do. Men of the other
sort are CHEEKY, and are cheering workers.
If they succeed, they both please and are
pleased; and even if they fail, they fail in
such good-natured way that they cause
less discomfort than they would if they
succeeded after the gloomy and depressing
manner of the other sort Of persons. Here
is distinction which you ought to have in
mind in whatever undertaking you are
called to. If you see difficulties ahead,
don't say any thing about them. Go ahead
and do the best you can. Ii you succeed,
all right. If you fail, fail smilingly-and
die striving to dos. s. Times.

How Bismarck Pushed His Point.
Paris Figarof

An interesting and characteristic anec.
dote of Eismarck's early career IN
diplomacy is given. He was Prussian
Minister to the German Confederation
which sat at Frankfort. In the house in
which he lodged there was no bell, and he
intimated to the proprietor the necessity
of establishing such means oftommunca-
ton. The proprietor refused, as it was
"not so nomin ated in the bond" or con-
tract. By and by pistol shot was heard
in Bismarck's room. The affrighted
proprietor hurried into the room to find
out what the disaster was. "Don' d is
turb YOURSELF" said Bismarck; "this is to
call my servant. AS there is no bell will
henceforward employ this method of SUM
moning him." The bell was supplied and,
the shooting ceased.

THE GOOD OLD WAY.
Sensible Words Which Every Struggling
Young Man Should Ponder.


Twenty clerks in store, twenty hands
in printing -ofice, twenty apprentices in
shlp-yard, twenty young men in village,
all want to get on in the world and expect
to do so. One of the clerks will become a
partner and make a fortune; one of the
compositors will own newspaper and be-
became an influential citizen; one of the
apprentices will become master builder:
one of the villagers will get handsome
farm and live like a patriarch-but which
one is the lucky individual? Lucky There
is no luck about it. The thing is almost as
certain as the rule Of three.
The young fellow who viii distance his
competitors is he who will master his bust
ness, who preserves his integrity, who lives
clearly and purely, who devotes his leisure
to the acquisition of knowledge, who gains
friends by deserving them, and who saves
his spare money. There are some ways to
fortune shorter than this old, dusty high
way; but the staunch men of the communi-
ty, the men who achieve something really
worth having-good fortune, good name
and serene old age-all go on this road

Why They Prefer the Club.
TDehroit Free Press

Twenty -four New York policemen were
taken out to practice at target firing. An
old oyster can was set up on post and
the men banged away at a distance Of
twenty five feet, and fred thirty ght
bullets before the can was hit. Only five
men out Of the twenty four hit it by fir
ing twelve shots apiece. No wonder so
many people in New York are dubbed.
The officer feels that he can't depend on
any thing else.

Caring for the Health.

We naturally laugh at, and perhaps have
a contempt for, a person who talks about
his health and lives for the one purpose, ap-
parently, of preserving it. He gets to be
the worst kind of a crank, bothering every
body he aleets with long stories on his all
ments and methods of medication; illus
trating, however, the Scripture saying that
he who saveth his life shall lose it, for his
excessive and unwise care defeats the end
he aims at. But caring for the health is
duty. 1t is one, too, that is too often for
gotten. At this season, when we change
from warm to cold, and when temperature
IS SO unsteady, we should guard against
tho Els that very little carelessness may
easily send US. Energy and happiness both
leave us when disease gains an asceudaasy

Betting, that once was chiefly the accom-
paniment of the race-course, is fast becom-
ing National habit, and in some circles
any opinion advanced on finance or politics
is accosted with the interrogation: "How

This custom may make nc appeal to slow,
lethargic temperaments, bat there are in
the country tens of thousands of quick,
nervous, sanguine, excitable temperaments
ready to be acted upon, and their feet will
soon take hold on death. For some months,
and perhaps for years, they will linger in

come to the fatal plunge. Finding them
selves in the rapids they will try to back
