MIND YOUR BUSINESS.
Rv John +, Culver.

BY john r. culver
To mind your own business is to go about
your work, not meddling with that which
does not concern you. 1t is dangerous to
meddle. Some are apt TO overstep the
bounds Of true courtesy IN this matter, ami
lose good positions, moreover their property
by doing so. II a person NEEDLES with
ano,her's affairs he is sure 10 neglect his own.
In such case his position honorable or hum
bic will suffer; possibly he may lose it. So
YOU see it Is better to mind your own business,
hold your situation, and escape the disgrace
of proving unworthy Of it. ! have seen per-
sons who spend great deal Of their time in
criticising their neighbors, instead OF minding
their own business, as they ought to have done.
You NAV have seen them. Observe the bee
and ant. The former NEEDLES with none
who leave it alone. Ii makes honey for its
little nation, also for mankind. The little
ant performs a greater work in IFS short life
time than anything that NEEDLES. There
was never man who rose TO an exhalted po'
sltion in our land that did not attend strictly
to his own affairs.
Gen. Washington, when small boy com
piled code Of morals and manners modifying
his entire life. II he had spent his time in
solicitude for his friends AMI neighbors, he
would have never been the George Washing
ton as we now respect him. Thomas Jeffer-
son said if any boy seven years Of age would
resolve IN his mind to be president and live
up to this resolution he would be president.
However 1t might require vast amount oi
attention to ones own business to keep on the
track that leads to the White House. Gar
field was at one time only poor boy on the
tow path Would he, If he had not done hi:
best IN that lowly vocation, ever been the re
cipient of the highest Office within the gift o
our nation Aim high. Whether your des
tinaton be humble or exalted; never forge
there are seats higher than others, and to oc
cupy them you must lead a life devoted t,
the hest interests of society and yourself.

EDUCATION.
By Lee Barker.

BY Lee Barker.
Education of every kind possesses two val
ues, the information gained and the discipline
obtained. Besides Its use as guide in our
conduct the acquisition Of each order OF facts
has also its worth as mental drill. Its ef-
| fec, as a preparative for complete living, or
making the most of life, bears careful consid-
eraiion at all times.
Education cannot be acquired without
pains and application II often proves
troublesome and trying in digging deep for
pure water, but when once YOU come to the
clear, cool springs, they seem to rise to meet
you Every grain helps fl the bushel, so
| does the improvement of every moment in
crease knowledge and usefulness. a classical
education is a great accomplishment, but it
does not always make man. One who has
! been raised from childhood to his ma ajority
within the limited circumference of school
and boarding room, although he may have
mastered all the college courses, Is destitute
Of that knowledge of men and things indis-
pensably necessary to prepare him for private
or public life. Higher education is one Of
the demands Of the age, but rudiments should
be learned first. A diploma is valueleSs I'M
less the bearer Of ii has the proper evidence
within himself Ones education shoald be
such that he is his own diploma. 1t is OF no
advantage to a man to know much unless he
lives according to what he knows.
''Thc chief properties of wisdom are to be
mindful of things past, careful for things
present, and provldent for things to come. :"
'sHe that thinks himself the hapriest man
Is really so; but he that thinks himself the
wisest man is generslly the greatest fool.
A wise man is provided for occurrences OF
any kind, the good he manages, the bad he
vanshes; in prosperity he betrays no presump-
ton, and in adyersity he feel no despondency.
BY gaming good education you shall have
your reward II the ricl. stores Of knowledge
YOU have has collected: AMI which shall ever
be "a, your command. Thcsv are more val
I uaLle than treasures Of silver o' gold. While
feet, ma, ink, si,,ge houses be consumed,
and fic.;,., Aee, the intellectual investments
you have male will be permanent and endur-
ing, nnfailina as the constant flow OF the
NIAGARA Nor Will you he able To illl these
storef"us,s. Ponr into glass stream al
water and il fills to the bfm until II will na'
hold another drop But you may pour into
your mind throughout whole lifetime
streams of knowledge from every conceivable
quarter, and it shall never be full, but II will
constantly thirst for more and welcome each
fresh supply with a greater JOY. To all
around you may impart of these gladdening
streams which have SO fertlized your own
mind, and yet, your supply will not be les
sened. But as You add to your knowledge 1t
will itself attract still more as it widenS your
realm OF thought.
The wise man looks forward into the future
and considers what will be his condition hun
dreds of ages hence, as we'll as what 1t IS at
present; therefore the highest learning is to be
wise, and The greatest wisdom Is 10 be good.

Tfi T. GRE-lTNESS.


by Edward NJ. Jenkins.
To he truly great one must be truly good,
since the greatest man Is he who does the
greatest good to the largest number. The
extent OF true greatness is properly estimated
IN cccordance with the services performed for
the good Of mankind We are convinced Of
this fact, by studying the lives OF some Of the
worlds most famous men,
Napoleon fought for his own honor and the
glory Of his army, while Washington fought
for the good Of the American people. The
whole world looked on in wonder at the won
derful achievements Of the former; but like
the brilliant meteor they shone brightly for a
time, but were as suddenly involved in ol,scur-
ity, and in time his very name will be for.
gotten, or remembered with reproach.
While the glorious acts and noble virtues of
Washington grow brighter with each sue
ceeding generation. and to-day, after a lapse
OF hundred years, millions Of people assem-.
BILE to do honor to his memory. True great
ness is exemplihed in the conduct Of Henry
Clay, when he laid his hope, his ambition,
and the greatest desire of his heart on the
alter of his country, and said, 81 would
rather be night than President" He is emf
inently greater than the man who sighed for
more worlds to conquer.
Let us take for an example, the life Of Him
who was the greatest Of all because he was the
servant of all, and we will be, in oar humble
way, truly great for we will be truly good

SUCCESSFUL MEN or r0, D.Ir.
BY W. W. Be!den

By W W Be!den
The men who win the golden plize of sue
cess in life rely not upon inhented land, pres
tige and friends, but upon their own strong
arms, clear intellect and moral strength. In
this age the world has advanced TO such
degree of civilization that lineage aid wealth
have hut little to do in regulating social or
pu!i,ic.I position. Men are judged by their
ability and character alone, and they who
depend solely upon the fame Of illus
trious ancestry fare but poorly But self de-
pendence, sustained by ability, energy and
integrity, with a constant aim at something
higher, Is what elevates men from lowly
stations in life TO eminent positions Of honor
and trust. Fully seventy.tive per cent of the
leading men Of to-day, began their careers
under comparatively poor circumstances, and
ofthS number a majority were raised IN the
country. Brought UP on PLAN healthy food
accustomed TO daily labor and away from evil
influences, the farmer boy, with his mental
and physical faculties unimpare1 by dissipa
tion, possesses decided advantage over his
city cousin, when the time comes for them 10
enter upon commercial or professional ca
resr. The educational facilities Of the city
are superior 10 those Of the country but the
advantages derived from these are over
matched by the moral and physical pre-emi
nence which can be more easily attained by
the sons Of the soil.
or business qualifications, punctuality is one
Of the most important. In fact it is an abso-
lutte necessity for the maintenance OF success.
1t is said that nothing vexed Washington
more than the irregularity OF his associates.
Success also depends largely upon application
The person who starts out with strong reso-
luton, well fortified, is almost sure to sue
ceed.
The truth of the statement made by Presi-
dent Garfield, ga pound Of pluck is worth a
ton of luck, cannot be too highly estimated.
But strict integrity is the unit OF value Of all
the qualities that make successful men and
women. Closely associated with thi:
virtue, the others increase in value but
separate their seeming worth disappears
much like the day wanes when the sun sink.

whence they get their light IS gone, and the,

upon still darker back ground.

for US TO go out into the world, let us 60 witt

and to exert ourselves 10 grasp the highes

LABOR.
By Esther Simmons.

Labor is the exertion of physical or mental
powers; to perform an allotted portion OF
work The examples of nature teach us that
labor is universal; nothing remains idle IN the
great mechanism OF the Creator. Animals
perform their works. Vegetables, minerals,
and insects all in their own sphere work out
their respective uses. Every faculty of The
human nature both physical and mental is i'm
ployed and strengthened by proper labor, and
developed 10 its full beauty by exercise.
Labor of the present keeps the vast social
machinery OF the world moving, promotes
civilization, improvement, comfort, happiness
and prosperity.
Physical labor builds our cities, houses,
fences, bridges and railroads, moulds the
brick, hews the stone in the quarrieS, and
rears not only the humble cottage but the
gorgeous palace. Labor delving deep into
the solid earth brings up its long hidden
stores of coal to feed ten thousand furnaces
and in millions of homes to defy the cold win
ters. Labor hews down the rough oak,
shapes the tlmDer, anu DuiidS ule siiPs "
bring to our shores the products of every coun-
try. Labor provides our food and clothing,
holds the p!ow, scatters the seeds, reaps the
harvests, grinds the corn and converts it into
bread 'sthe staff of life Toll gathers the
gossamer web OF the caterpillar, The fleece
from the flock, the cotton from the field, and
weaves it into clothing for the people.
| Labor Of the brain gives us onr newspapers
and books, inventions and discoveries. To
accomplish anything it matters not how
small the task may be, labor is required. The
moral and intellectual education of every
individual he chiefly his own work Labor
is blessing to society; and idleness IS lis
greatest curse.

FRIENDSHIP.
By Cole stanton.


F friendship is an attachment between per
sons Of genial habits, dispositions and pur.
suits. Man is naturally social being. and
has in instructive aversion 10 solitude and
loneliness. Though he possess every other
enjoyment he still finds his happiness incom.
plete unless there is some person whom he
considers his friend and to whom in difficulty
or distress he may look for advice and con-
ISOLATION. True friendship like all other treas
ures of great value, IS rare, and is also limited
in Its objects; therefore we cannot hope to
have many friends who value our lives and
our interests as they do their own. This
precious boon affording sympathy and offering
aid, contributes largely to the happiness of the
world. 1t purifies the disposition and ele.
We can scarcely open volume, ancient or
modern, without being reminded what an ex.
cellent thing it is. The examples of David
and Jonathan, Damon and Pythias and
Achilles and Patroclus show to what degree
it was sometimes carried. But IN modern
times friendship is seldom remarkable for
such Eievotedness. What would be more in.
tolerable than the consciousness that in all
the world not one heart beats in unison with
our own? On the other hand think of the
happiness there is in possessing real friend,
a friend who will bear part OF our misfor-
tunes and cordially rejoice with US when the
hour of happiness returns. One should exer
else the greatest caution in selecting friend
since our associations tend SO greatly to inlu-l
ence our characters and prospects. We
should also take care not be deceived byl
false friends. We must assure ourselves of
the uprightness and truth Of those to whom
we open our hearts as we do cnly N true
friendship, if we would not in the hour OF
trial find ourselves abandoned 10 the cold
charities of an unsympathizing world.
Few people know the value of true friend
unless they have learned it by experience.
One half of the misery Of this world would be
spared If we only knew how to prize our
friends. We should always try to be worthy
OF friendship bestowed upon us and cherish
the regard others have for US.
