WADE & DAWSON.

To every boy in Iowa who will
make a pledge neither to use to-
bacco nor liquor, Samuel Saucer
man, a wealthy Des Moines resi-
dent, will give ST. a cent a day for
three years, and another dollar at
the end of the three years, says an
exchange. At the same time, he
urges the boys who accept his prop
osition to save the nickels and
dimes they otherwise would spend
for tobacco and alcoholic drink,
and put them with their account.
He has figured out that if the boys
will do this none will arrive at the
age of Fl years without having
enough to take them through col
lege or give them a good start in
life. LaBelle Star.

What to Forget.

If YOU would increase your hap
pineSS and prolong your life, forget
your neighbours faults. Forget all
the SANDER you ever heard. For
get the temptations. Forget the
faultfinding, and only remember
the good points which make you
fond of them. Forget all personal
quarrels or histories you may have
heard by accident, and which, if re-
peated, would seem a thousand
times worse than they are. Blot
out, as far as possible, all the disa-
greeableness Of life; they will come,
but will only grow larger when you
remember them, and the constant
thought of the acts of meanneSS or
worse still, malice, will only tend to
make you more familiar with them.
Obliterate every thing disagreeable
from yesterday, start out with a
clean sheet today, and write upon
it for sweet memoryS sake only
those things which are lovely and
lovable.-LaBelle Star.
