any mans appetite; yet the fish is

II
A man without mind of his own Is

beings. His brain is mere receptacle

up In the streets, and the same infirm-
lty which leads him to look to every
body save himself for guidance. renders
nun incapable of selecting from the
multifarious counsel he receives that
which Is best adapted to his exigencies.
Nay, In his weak bewilderment he fails
to make any selections at all, and while
he waivers and hesitates, the golden OBJ
portunity for decisive action Sins by.
and leaves him laundering in . pre-
dicament, from which one manly stride
In almost any direction would extricste
him. But let the weak of purpose take
heart. This unfortunate propensity to
vacillate may be overcome. Habits of
sef-dependence may lie acquired. Cow
ards by nature have reasoned then-
selves, ere now, into philosophic in
difference to danger, and even the
changeable man, whose mind has in
measure lest its identity, and is accus-
toned to take, for the time being, the
hue of every mind with which it comes
in contact, may learn to resolve and
execute on his own responsibility. It
must not be supposed that we dissuade
any one from asking advice of the wise
and experienced, or from following ID
in preference to his impulses. The
very fact of man seeking counsel in
the right quarter and promptly adopt
ing it, is evidence that he has q mind
of his own, that his judgment is sound,
that his reason is stronger than his van
ity. It is not with those who brace
themselves against rock in time Of
difficulty that We would remonstrate,,
but with the leaners on reeds, the
catchers at straws, the chartless, who
are pulled hither and thither by every
idle breeze. Of all impediments to
success, instability is the most fatal.
Every young man, on entering the BUSH
ness world, should form for himself, or
adopt at the suggestion of competent
advisors, plan of life based upon sound
morality, and shaped so as to accord
with the bent and scope of his mental
capacity. His course chalked out, let
him take courage, and with a stout
heart amid all dangers, a pure con-
science amid all temptations, and
clear head amid all perplexities, push
forward with hope and confidence.

When in spite of the frost anu hno"

Late, fragrant lilies grow.
/ heard a footstep behind me,
And the sound of a merry iaugn,
And knew the heart it came from
Would be like comforting stan
In the time and the hour of trouble,
Hopeful and brave and strong,
One of the hearts to lean on,
When we think all things go wrong.

And met his manly look;
A face like his gives me pleasure,
Like the page of a pleasant book.

OF a brave and daring viii;
A face with promise in it
That, God grant, the years fulfill.
He went up the pathway singing,
saw the woman's eyes
Grow bright with wordless welcome,
As sunshine warns the skies.
Back again, sweetheart mother,
He cried, and bent TO kiss
The loving face that was uplifted
For what some mothers miss.
That boy will do to depend on;
l hold that this is true
From lads in love with their mothers

Since time and earth began;
And the boy who kisses his mother
