DO not be too eager to show off
your talents, my son. Keep dark.
Many a man has made a reputation for
himself by doing just nothing at all.
As long as a man doesn't try to do
any thing, people are ready to believe
that he is equal to do every thing. When
he makes an attempt and fails in one
direction, he is believed to be incapable
in all directions.

FOR YOUNG MEN.
How o Large Number of Them Miss the
Road to Fortune.

Road to Fortune.
A young man, nicely brushed up and
very genteel, entered an Office, and
with a polite air addressed the gentle
man with: "Sir, you want young
man here, believer" yes" was the
reply. "Here are my recommends
tions," said the young man as he
handed paper certifying that he was
worthy of confidence, etc. The gentle
man read the paper and looked up,
remarking: 1--WE should be glad to do
your friend the compliment of engaging
you" What shall I be expected to
do?" asked the young man. ITO aid
in the Office as opportunity may pre-
sent and to pay notes and collect
drafts, etc." was the answer. II don't
think collecting drafts would agree with
my feelings, replied the young man.
well" quietly responded the gentle
man, II would not advise you to do
any thing against your feelings. Good
morning" Here is how they miss it.
A certain fastidiousness of feeling is set
What can be less against all true and
worthy feeling than the collection of
draftsP What is there to soil glove or
fingers, sensibility or consciousness?
Many young and talented persons miss
the road to fortune by the want of
humility and patience. They think
every thing must depend on "a good
START and unless they can make ga
good engagement they will remain
out of employment for weeks and
months They miss three things sup
port for that time, the practice that
keeps talents improving and the fur
nishing of the best evidence that they
are willing to work. They forget that
any situation of honest toll is gooG
when compared with idleness. Tn .
trouble with many young men is fool

ness is more honorable than work.

"You fellows have all heard of Wild
Jack Booth, one of the best cow-punch-

down on the Frying Pan ranch, he
spied the protruding feet of an Indian
corpse that had been buried on a hill
side. Jack reasoned with companion
after this manner:
'''Bill, think that Injun stiff hcv

''Suiting his actions to the remark,
Jack shared one of the protruding legs
with a lariat, took turn or two around
the horn of the saddle, and turned the
pony loose on the wide prairie. Out
came the Indian, feathers, war-paint
and all. When Jack had been suffi-
GENTLY amused, the corpse was two or
three miles from it's grave, and it was
never buried.
''One day Jack lassoed big loaver

thinking something was wrong, started
out with Winchester. The reinforce

toward the camp with a wild vel lof

chasing Jack, having overlooked the
lariat Jack caught on to the mistake
at once, and turned his pony toward
the fleeing cowboy. When the pony
came up alongside, Jack yelled:
Run. yer son of gun. De VOLTS

Then the pony darted ahead and
Jack brought the dead wolf close to the

People of the Balkans.

AS showing the strange, cosmopolitan
character of the people of the Balkan
peninsula it is often sufficient to merely
pass from one village to another, or even
from one house to another, in the
same place, to find strange contrasts.
Both Greeks and Bulgarians cling to old
established customs that no amount of
fusion and progress seems able to modify.
A Bulgarian family and a Greek family
occupy houses side by side. In each fam
lily is marriageable daughter. In the
former house, friends of the would l.e
sonin-law are bargaining with the father
as to the amount lie is to receive for his
daughter. In the house of the Greek fam
lily the negotiators are finding out how
much the father is willing to give with
the daughter Nothing but wall sep
arates the two houses, yet in one young
woman is being lowered, and in the other
a young woman is being sold. Each fam
lily is following the custom of its own
people in ancient tfmes.-Thomas Stevens

OF rising sap in the forest and odorous signs on

with hope.

And see its petals blushing;
Ihear the murmurous rushing
OF saeams to the quiet heart of a valley wooing
repose.
"1his is summer" said I, and on the seasons
flow
traced the secrets that only the heart of a
lover can know
Hal ha Alover is delicate game!
The trees are falling asleep, the sun is brown in
the west;
"Ah me-" the leaves are signing,
"Ah me, the flowers are dying,
And we must lie with them on the mothers with
cred breast"
left the leaves and flowers to mourn their life
away,
And set a hopeless lover a-dancing as if 'twere
May
Ho. Hol lover is delicate game!
Silent the moons cold eyes look down on the
placid snow;
The river, wrapt in sleeping,
Graved in the ice is keeping
Its heart till spring shall brew her charms in the
caves below.
But seasons are one to me- and off to the chase
Igo,
With kiss to my lady moon, and pull at my
trusty bow
