Habit makes the man, but man makes
the habit. It il here where we want to
get in > word. A habit seems . little
thing in itself, but il is the most terri.
BILE tyrant that rules the world. And
il does rule it, say what we will. Now,
it is essential In this life of ours to start
right if we are going to come out right.
And the best thing to start with isa
good habit. II is just rs easy when =
young man is forming his habits, to
form good ones - bad ones. Good
habits are not expensive. A virtue does
not cost . quarter as much to support
rs does = vice.
We sometimes wonder how it is that
q being with brains, with intelligence.
with reason, could ever have become >
slave TO habit. It does not seem posi-
bic that . man cannot order his con-
duct. But we must recognize facts.
Men are victims Of habits. They do
not perceive that they are bound until
they try to get free, and then the strong
power Of habit asserts itself. How
does this terrible despot conquer the
mind. the will, the man? What is this
invisible force that drives the strongest
and brightest with . whip Of iron? It
" only an act repeated again and agsin,
but it becomes second nature, . part
of the man, and it has conquered by the
power OF reinforcement by repetition.
The only way to be superior to bud
habits il never to acquire them. Do
mot do the first bad act. Stop before
you begin to go wrong. The time when
. man is saved is when he is young.
The time to plant or SOW is in the
spring. The harvest depends on the
seed. We cannot pick figs from this
ties. A bad habit will end in . bad
life. Watch the feet Of the boy, and
the mans will not need watching. We
must begin with the young, and see
that right habits are acquised in early
life.
1t il only . foot from . bad habit TO q
good one, but it is . milo back again.
We may loose in An hour all we have
made in . year. We can undo in q day
what we have done in . lifetime. A
habit Is . plant Of which ii act is the
seed. It will bear fruit if it be q good
act, but ashes if it he . bad oct. It Is
the frst step that starts the race. To
start right is the best way to go right
and to end right Never let q bad habit
fasten to your life.-The Boston Mues-
NgdiOy.

Karat Was Cenvicted.

The proof that Marat, tho French revo.
lutionary leader, was really convicted OF
theft, has set 1t rest 4 long standing con-
troversy. Marat was in England In 1776.
was accused Of q theft Of old coins, escaped
to Ireland, was apprehsnded ct an
Irish assembly in the disgoise OF
q Germa, count and was brought
from Dublin BY habeas corpus
for trial in England. A contemporary let-
ter, describing the sssizes Of l776, at which
II was thought that Marat would have been
tried, il silent. The clerk OF assize to the
Oxford circuit has at last supplied the
missing link in the evidence by 6nding that
Marat was convicted at the assizes which
commenced ut Oxford on March 8 and
ended on March q, 1877. The delay in the
proceedings IS accounted for by the Oh.
sence OF tho accused In Ireland.

Ludicrous Scene at . Marriage Cersmon
Where the Ring Was Loat.

Ludicrous Scene at . Marriage Ceremony
Where the Ring Was Lost.
A South Boston pastor narrated the
following incident which came under
his observation in st. John, N. B., TO
reporter of the Boston Herald: Two
people In middle life sought out an aged
and well-known clergyman to tie the
connubial knot. His advanced years
had brought him treacherous memory,
and, with this uncertain quantity to deal
with, he began the ceremony. There
were luckily no witnesses to the anus
ing scene but the clergyman's daughter
in-law and grandson.
The preliminaries over, the ring was
asked for. The groom was exceedingly
nervous and could not find 1t. He
searched in all his pockets, shook his
sleeve, ran his hand down the side Of
his right leg in fear Of hole in his
pantaloons pocket, he felt of his sock,
and repeated the process, increasing in
nervousness as he certainly did in
bushes and awkwardness. Finally, the
old gentleman sat down, while both
witnesses assisted the partially married
couple 10 find the missing symbol Of
their union. Down on their knees they
got, and turned up the corner of the rug,
and peered under the sofa, and alto
gether made most ludicrous sight.
Meantime the clergyman's mnemo-
mic faculty failed him. He forgot where
he was, and could not be made 30 under
stand the mission of the strange lady
and gentleman. 1t ought to be added
that he was also very deaf Fearing
complications, his daughter-in-law sent
the grandson for the regular minister of
the parish. At last the ring was found
in an obscure corner, whittier 1t had
rolled, and the parties to the suspended
contract tried to look resigned under
the aggravating circumstances. The
ministerial gentleman walked out Of his
reverie and said to the lady of the house:
"Who is this coupler
The answer was almost shout after
which he subsidized a moment and then
continued:
"How long have you been married?"
They really didn't know how much
they were married, but stammered out
a reply that was completely lost on him,
for in minute or so more he capped the
conversation by saying:
"How many children have you got?'
That was too much, and would have
convulsed the suffering victims had not
the regular minister arrived and COM
| pleted the service.

How She Got a Days Work Out of q Pie
loving Cormorant.
In the long ago there lived in Sunday
River valley woman by the name OF
Jackson, says the Lewiston (Me.) Jour
nal She was better known as Mother
jackson by the settlers of the valley.
Jackson's people invited the neigh
bors to help them husk their corn on
certain night, saying that they should
have good supper and all the pumpkin
pie they could eat.
One Dudley Foster told her he would
come, but If he did not have all the
pumpkin pie he could eat she must pay
him for days work.
WELL" said Mother jackson, "Dud-
ley, how many pies can you eat?'
81 can eat five pies, any way"
''Now, Dudley" she said, "you can
not eat one pie. If you don't eat one pie
for your supper you shall give me q
days work. If you eat all of one pie I
will pay you for days work"
Done" said Dudley. II will take
that bargain"
The husking came off at the time ap-
pointed, with all the fun of such gather
tngs. Dudley called for his pie. Mother
jackson had made one for him. She
had baked 1t on platter as large as she
could get into the old stove oven. 1t was
several inches in thickness and about
as large as a linen-wheel rim. She
brought out the pie and placed 1t before
Dudley, telling him to eat all he could.
II he ate 1T all she would pay him for a
days work; If he failed he must give
her days work
Dudley thought he could eat the whole
OF the pie and went at it. He actually
ate three-fourths of the pie, but had to
give 1t up as bad job, and, as the Nor
way Advertiser tells the tale, had to do
the days work according to the bargain.
