And the setting sun poured food of
rich. purple light over the group that
stood there-over the workman in his
blue overalls, over the lady with her
golden hair, and over the proud looking
gentleman by her side. Although it
was picture for painter, the angels
who looked down on it from Heaven saw
something more than picture there.


Young Man, You're Wanted.


A woman wants you. Don't forget
her. Don't wait to be rich. If you do,
remember that, ten to one, you are not
fit to get married. Marry while you
are young and struggle up together
Exchange. -.


But mark, young man! The woman
does not want you if she has to divide
her affections with cigar, fancy dog,
fast horse, or a whisky jug. Neither
does she want you simply because you
are "a nice young man. the definition
of which, nowadays, is too apt to be an
animal that sports an immense hirsute
appendage, lot Of jewelry, kid gloves,
a fashionable cut coat, gold headed
cane, stove pipe hat on an empty head,
drives fast nag, drinks like fish, and
swears like trooper, and is given to
all manner of flicentiousness. She wants
you if you have learned to regulate your
appetites and passions; in fact, she wants
you If you are made in the image of
God, not in the likeness of beast. IF
you arc strong in good purpose, firm in
resistance to oevil, pure in thought and ac-
tion as you require her to be, and with
out which inward and outward purity

wife. If you love virtue and abhor vice
If you are gentlemanly, forbearing and
kind; not loud talking, exacting, and
brutal-then, young man, that woman
wants you; that fair, modest, cheerful,
bright looking, 'frank-spoken woman
We mean one who fills your ideal of
maiden and wife--it is she who wants

A Thought for Young Men.


More may be learned by devoting a
few moments daily to reading than is
commonly supposed. Five pages may
be read in fifteen minutes, at which rate
one may peruse twenty-six volumes, Of
two thousand pages each in a year. You
say you have none to guide you, The
best scholars and men of science will tell
you by far the most valuable part of
their education is that which they have
given themselves $3.50 q ~


Volumes have been filed with the
biography of self-taught men. Think
of Franklin, the printer; Of Lime, the
shoemaker; John Hunter, the cabinet
maker; Herschel, the musician; Donald,
the weaver; Turner, the printer; and
Burrit, the blacksmith


Love learning, ana youWlll be learned.
Where there is will there will be way
Begin at once; take time by the fore
lock, and remember that it is only the
first step that costs, and having begun,
resolve to learn something every day.
Strike the blow, and avoid the weakness
of those who spend half of their life in
thinking what they shall do next.


Always have volume near you which
you may catch up at such odd minutes
as are your own. 1t is incredible, until
trial has been made, how much real
knowledge may be acquired in these
broken fragments of time, which are
like the dust of gold and diamonds.
