YOUNG DANIEL MERSTER

Daniel Webster's father had great
difficulty in teaching the principles Of
farming to the son who afterward be
came so illustrious in other directions
one day, when the two were in the
hay field, Daniel found it impossible tC
manage his scythe. 1t hung too fan
out or too far in; and the patient ia.
ther, coming to the rescue, tried hi,
best to adjust it to suit the boy. Fin.
ally, losing patience, Mr.. Webster
said: Nothing suits you, Daniel
Hang the scythe anyway you wish"
Then, father" replied the future
statesman, 81 think III hang it ON y
tree" And he left the hay field, &c
the disgust of the parent, who sighed
as he said; chat boy, fear will
never amount to a row of pins"
But he found out in time that Danie
could work Ikea beaver" if he pleas
ed, although he never took to hay,

A DEADLY HABIT.

\ fault-hnding, criticisng habit is
fatal to all excellence. Nothing will
strangle growth quicker than a ten
dency to hunt for flaws, to rejoice in
the unlovely, like hog which always
has his nose in the mud and rarely
looks up. The direction in which we
look indicates the life aim, and young
women who are always looking for
something to criticise, for the crooked
and the ugly who are always sus-
picious, who invariably look at the
worst side of others, are but giving
the world a picture Of themselves
The disposition to see the worst in
stead Of the best grows on one very
rapidly, until it ultimately strangles
all the beautiful and brushes out all
that is good in oneself No matter
how many times your confidence has
been betrayed, do not allow yourself
TO sour DO not lose faith in people.
The bad are the exceptions; most PEG.
pie are honest and true and mean to
do what is right.

WAIT OR WORK-WHICH?

Gently to an older man asking advice.

let myself down, practically say that

better to do nothing than to do what
is poorly paid?
John" said the older man, "my
advice to a man needing work and out
of it, always is, TO take the first hon
est thing that comes along. Hard or
easy, obscure or conspicuous, ill-paid
or weIl-paid, take held of the work
that offers itself to your hand and do
it with your might. You are more
likely to find work, if ut work some
where, than if sitting at home doing
nothing. In my own day, once could
get no employment except to help the
porter in Il factory at dollar day.
| took hold of that, it was all | could
find; today | control the factory and

"Ihat,' said the youth, "was nearly
forty years ago. Things in the bust
ness world were different then"
"Things are never different" was
the reply. can energetic man will
gain nothing by sitting still and wait
ing for the large place. Let him take
hold at once Of the small place and fiji
that till he overnows."

WILL STAND ACQUITTED.

On the great day of account it will
| be found, that men have erred more
in Judging of the honesty of others
than in any one thing else, not even
religion excepted. Many who have
been condemned and had the stigma
of dishonesty fixed upon them because
misfortune disabled them from paying
their just debts will stand acquitted
by the Judge of the quick and dead
while others cover dishonest hearts
and actions undetected 10y man. 1t is
our desire to eradicate the impression
so fatal to many a young man, that one
cannot live 10y being perfectly
honest. You must have known men
who have gone on for years in unbrok-
en- prosperity and yet never adopted
that base motto, "All is fair in
trade" You must have seen too
noble examples of those who have met
with losses and failures, and yet risen
from them all with a conscious integ-
rity and who have been sustained by
the testimony of all around Them that
though unfortunate, they were never
dishonest When we set before you
such examples; when we show
you, not that Honesty is the best
policy" but that it is the very key
stone of the whole arch of manly and
christian qualities, it cannot be that
every ingenious heart does not respond
To the appeal. Heaven grant all such
to feel that an "Honest man is the
noblest work of Cod and to live as
they feel.

call at the PILOT office.
Everybody knows that the earth re-
sembles an apple in shape rather than
billiard ball. But the fact that it is
flattened twenty seven miles at the
poles and bulges at the equator leads
to paradox. The Mississippi River
is three miles farther from the center
of the earth at its mouth than at its
source. Hence it is literally true that
this river runs up hill.

town, was in the city Tuesday and

Though our nearest neighbor in the
sky, the moons distance from us is an
average of 800, 900 miles. Within a
month it will be $4,000 miles nearer to
US at one time than another, which
causes its apparent size TO vary. a
day on the moon is thirty times as long
as ours, being fifteen days OF daylight
and fifteen days of darkness. There
are but twelve of them in year. The
long days are very hot and the long
nights excessively cold. AS it has no
atmosphere to protect it from the suns
rays, water would boil in the sunlight
if there were any water there. At
night the temperature is several hun
dred degrees below zero, the contrast
between day and night is all of 500
degrees. The mountains on the moon
have been measured with greater accu-
racy than any on earth, and twenty
eight of them are higher than Mount
Blanc, two being almost five miles in
height. The craters of its extinct vol
canoes are enormous, one having a
diameter of 100 miles. a man weigh
ing ID pounds on earth would weigh
but twenty-six pounds on the moon,
and could jump over church spires
with ease. The diameter of the moon
is ,, LOO miles, and its volume is fifty
times less than that of the earth. 1t
would take 6000O,000 moons to equal
the bulk of the sun. The moon makes
a journey of 100000 miles in going
round the earth, and its speed is thirty
seven miles a minute. 1t completes
this revolution in ~ days I hours 43
minutes and II seconds. From new
moon to new moon is % days - hours
