THE CHOICE OF A CAREER.

A kind gentleman, who was read
lily distinguished as such by his
snuff colored coat and gold headed
cane, was passing along the high
way on pleasant morning when
he met little boy seven years of
age, with his books under his arm
going to school.
After conversing with the little
chap a few minutes on educational
matters, and finding him an ear
nest and enterprising lad, Mr.. Sin
clair queried him as follows:
pray, my fine young scholar,
what do you intend to do when you
are grown up?" Mr.. Sinclair
thought in all likelihood that the
lad would choose to become a great
general or prosperous merchant
or a proud statesman. But no.
Reginald Ribboncake had looked
into the future with no extravagant
warnings. His goal was useful
ness, not picturesqueness.

Struck with the practicability of
the manly youths ambition, Mr..
Sinclair addressed him further.
81 am truly overjoyed, my indus
trious lad" said the gentleman, re-
garding him with profound inter-
est, that you prefer a life of toll,
honest though it be, to butterfly
career of idle pleasures. Yet, |
fear, it cannot be gainsaid that the
vocation of a hodcarrier is one of
extreme hardship, inasmuch as he
carries brick and mortar up lad
ders the livelong day"
Seemingly So" replied Regin-
aid, looking rather amused, but
when we consider the subject more
carefully We observe that in fact he
tolls only half the time"

one who is amazed, "how may we
arrive at that conclusion, l beseech

MY mother, since her early child

had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making an Off.

somewhat peculiar favour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that 1t was Postum.

Postum for short time. she felt sc
