SPRING.

The dafTodils are here, tits true.
All, bless me, there's a robin, too
But still l wait to see him pass
The Indian with his sassafras.
For daffodils oft blow and nod
While snow still fingers ON the sod;
And early robins bleak winds bring
Despite the promises they sing.
But when In sunny spots ! see
The sad, gannt aborigine,
With roots OF sassafras to sell,
! know that spring has come right well.

ON CHOOSING BUSINESS.

Much of future success depends on
this: parents have great responsibility
here. In nature we find variety in all
things. No two Of her productions are
alike. So, too, of the human mind
each individually is fitted to some
particular sphere. Many a young, en-
terprising spirit has been sacrificed
upon the altar of ignorance. Young
mental prodigies, upon whom it would
seem had fallen the immortal mantle
of Shakespeare, or to whom had been
bequeathed the business capacity of a
Girard are inhumanly immured to the
fire Of some ignorant smith while
blockheads are forced into the profess
sions, in hopes of Identifying name
or the senseless pedigree Of an ambi-
tious family.
Life has great responsibilities. OBJ
stacles are to be met and overcome. A
proper choice of business will do
much to conquer the difficulties Of a
business life, and render easy what
would otherwise be found burdensome.
Thus one must first study to become
acquainted with himself. Every one
should know the capacity of his own
brain-the leading traits of his own
character and thus, in choosing a
business, be enabled to make an intel
ligent selection. For the purpose of
acquiring knowledge of ones abilities
and aptitudes we believe there is no
better means than a good business ed
ucation. 1t brings out the latent
capacities, and shows what there is in
young man. Were the plan gener-
ally adopted of given all young men a
general business training, there would
be much fewer failures than now.
Many mistakes would be avoided
and talents which now go to waste be
utilized Young men would then
understand themselves better, and be
enabled to choose their business or pro-
fession more intelGgently. Also, in
their subsequent career, whatever
there calling, they would find this
training of vast importance, and a
great help to success. To parents we
say: Send your sons to a good bust
ness college, where their faculties can
be brought out and disciplined by
careful training in the practice of mer-
camille principles-then they will be
far more fitted to choose a calling for
themselves and, having chosen it,
pursue it to IA successful termination.
