1t is considered Disgrace TO he lazy
own living becomes byword and re-
proach. But there is very common form
of laziness which is not always noticed; il
is that of the mind. We first become con-
clous Of 1t in our young days when we
"don't feel like study" We dawdle over
tile book with our thoughts half asleep,
and as a result give fine exhibition OF slu-
pidity IN the recitation-room. This fort
Of Incidence in youth is very dangerous
ior il becomes habit, and the mind
grows rusty and dull in the very prime oi
life when II should be at its best.
On the heels of this form OF lAzines'
comes another bad habit-that OF intellect
ual loafng. What loafing is in the CON-
mon sense we all know; 1t is hanging
about with no definite aim or purpose,
idling away the time without method and
without profit. Well, there is mentS
| loa6ng as we'll, and IL is known IN the die
| tionary as "reverie." IL is dreamy
state OF the mind, when the thoughts gt
wool-gathering. This habit, so com
mon to young people, is fatal TO inertia
growth many promising youth is ruin
ed by over indulgence in it. II waste
time and enieebes the nenlle powers. ]
is really form OF lsznets, and IL shoul'
he slernly corrected ut The very oulsel
The action of the mind should be kept un
der control. When the thoughts begin Il
wander, il is line TO whip them into order
A resolute will will do -Ezehdnge.

The Mort gagc.-A mortgage il a queer
institution. 1t makes n man hustle, and
il keeps him poor. 1t is a strong incent-
i've 10 action and wholesale reminder oi the
fleeing months and years. A mortgage
also represents industry, because il is
never idle and never rests.
II il like bosom friend because the
greater the adyeisity, the closer il slick'
to fellow. 1t is like brave soldier, il
never hesi,aies at charging nor fears tC
close in on The enemy. 1t is like the sand
bag of the Ting, silent in its application
but deadly in effects. Like the very hand
of Providence. il spreads all over creation
and its influence is everywhere visible. il
is like the gInsp of ihe dcvil-iisl, the
longer il holds the greater its strength. II
will exercise feeble energies and lend ac-
livily To the sluggish BRAN. No matter
how hard debtors work, the mortgage
works harder stlll. 1t makes fellow
sour, cross, selfish, unsocnble and misef-
able, aud rarely does him any good, only
