LEARN YouR BoYs TRADES There are de-.
cidedly too many young men who have no legt-
innate trade or calling that will insure them at all
times an honest livelihood. They stay a few months
at one place and few months at another and as
clerks, or something of that kind, may perhaps
manage to defray their personal expenses for the
time beirg. but as to providing for the coming
future or laying up something for rainy day, it
is absolutely out Of the question. 1fthese young
men were only expert mechanics, their services,
would not only be very desirable in this commu-

trade, whatever it might be, would not only de-
fray their immediate personal expenses, but enable
them to acquire gradually though surely wealth

A gentleman once heard a laboring
man swear dreadfully in the presence
of his companions. He told him it
was a cowardly thing to swear so in
company when he dared not to do it
by himself. The man said he was not
afraid to swear at any time or place.


"I'H give you ten dollars" said the
gentleman, ''if you will go into the
village churchyard at twelve o'clock to-
night and swear the same Oaths which
you have uttered here, when you are
alone with your God"


"Agreed," said the man, "'tis an
easy way of earning ten dollars"

and say you have done it and the

The time passed on; midnight came
The man went to the graveyard. It
was a night ofpitchy darkness. AS he
entered the graveyard, not a sound
was heard all was still as death.


Then the gentleman's words, "alOne
with God" came over him with a
wonderful power. The thought of the
wickedness he had committed, and
what he had come there to do, darted
through his mind like flash of light
ming. He trembled at his folly; afraid
to take another step, he fell on his
knees and instead of the dreadful Oaths
he came to utter, the earnest cry went
up, "GOd be merciful to me sinner" +"

Every one who takes a newspaper
which he in the least degree appreci-
ates, will often regret to see any num-
Der thrown aside for waste paper,
which contains some interesting and
important articles. A good way to
preserve these is by a scrap book. One
who has never been accustomed thus
to preserve short articles can hardly
estimate the pleasure it affords to sit
down and turn over the pleasant famil-
lar pages. Here a choice piece of poet
ry meets the eye, which you remem-
Der you were so glad to see in the pa
per, but which you would long since
have lost had it not been for your
scrap-bOok. There is a witty anecdOte
it does you good to laugh over it
yet, though for the twentieth time.
Next is a valuable recipe which you
had almost forgotten, and which you
found Just in time to save much per-
plexity. There is sweet little story,
the memory of which has cheeTed and
encouraged you many time, when
almost ready to despair under the pres
sure of Ife's cares and trials. Indeed,
you can hardly take up a single paper
without reperusing. Just glance over
the sheet before you, and see how ma
ny valuable items it contains that
would be of service to you a hundred
times in life. A choice thought is far
more precious than a bit of glittering
gold. Hoard with care the precious
gems, and see at the end of the year
what rich treasure you have accumu-
lated.

How to Become q Millionaire.


John McDonOugh, the millionaire Of
New Orleans, had engraved upon his tomb
series of maxims he had prescribed as
the rule for his guidance through life, and
to which his success in business is mainly
attributed. They contain so much wisdom
that we copy them:


RULES FOR THE GUIDANCE OF MY LIFE,
18O4.-Remember always that labor is one
of the conditions of our existence. Time
/ is gold; throw not one minute away, but
place each one to account. Do unto all
men as you would be done by. Never put
off till tomorrow what can be done to-day.
Never bid another do what you can de
yourself. Never cOvet what is not your
own. Never think any matter so trifing
as not to deserve notice. Never give out
that which does not first come in. Never
spend but to produce. Let the greatest or
der regulate the transactions of your life.
Study in your course of life to do the
greatest amount Of good.


Deprive yourself of nothing necessary
to your comfort, but live in an honorable
simplicity. Labor, then, to the last mo-
ment of your existence. Pursue strictly
the above rules, and the Divine blessing
and riches of every kind will flow upon
you to your hearts content; but first of
all, remember that the chief and great duty
of your life should be to tend, by all means
in your power, to the honor and glory of
our Divine Creator.


The conclusion to which have arrived
is, that without temperance there is no
health; without virtue no order; without
religion no happiness; and that the aim of
our being is to live wisely, soberly and
righteOusly. JOHN MCDONOUGH.

Some time since a Mobile paper publish
ed story of a man who cut of his head
and hid it SO effectually that it could not be
found. That was very good for Mobile, but
out West things are done on larger scale,
or at least we may judge so from the follow
ing:


An Indian who had lived unhappily with
fifty or sixty squaws, determined upon sui
eide Desiring that no one should be able
to identify any portion of him, he cut off
both legs and carried them about i've miles
into the woods, on foot and alone. He bur-
led them, and cut off both his arms, which
be carried some miles further and buried.
Then cutting out his tongue, that he might
be unable to tell any one be might meet who
he was, he proceeded several miles further
chanting his death song as he went. He
finally cut off his own head, and after anus
ing himself for some time kicking it around
as foot ball, making the woods ring with
his shouts of merriment, he hid it in the
trunk of a tree, and then digging a grave
with his own hands, he got in, covered
himself up, and planted very handsome
tomb stone at the head of his grave.

Now. let me tell you a secret-a secret
worth knowing. This looking forward for

The Only true way to be happy is to take
the drops of happiness as God gives them
to us every day Of our lives. The boy must
learn to be happy while he is plodding over
his lessons; the apprentice while he is
learning his trade; the merchant while he
is making his fortune. If be fails to learn
this art, he will be sure to miss his enjoy
ment when he gains what he sighs for.

Mr.. Reuben Hodges, an old and respect
ed citizen and successful planter, saws a
Lexington { Miss exchange. has used cot
ton seed as food for hogs number of years,
without the least danger. and with great
success.


The cotton seed intended to be given to
the hogs should be thrown in water the
nightbefOre-care being taken that the seed
are thoroughly covered. so as to fully wet
the lint, and the hogs can be turned upon
them the next morning.


Brood sows should not be allowed TO cat
cotton seed. Hogs thus fed are not liable
to the numerous diseases that abound
Hogs can be fed in this manner on new cot
ton seed, and three weeks feeding on corn
will work a complete purgalion of the taste
of the cotton seed from the meat. A busheI
of new cotton seed in putting a hog in con-
dItion for fatteuing is regarded as good as a
bushel of corn.


The above is invaluable. Many farmers
in the vicinity of Lexington, have adopted
Mr.. Hodges method of feeding on cotton
seed with uniform success.

The following letter has recently been re-
seived by Mr.. p. Beales, the President Of the

that the League would use its organization, con-
SlstiDg of four hundred and thirty branches, for
the purpose of registration, educating the people

and labore of the Reform League, although so
great step has been gained IN the extension of
the suffrage. On that branch of the question of
reform presume you will not feel IL necessary
now to agitate further so far as the boroughs

upon it. The more wide the suffrage, the more
there are of men in humble circumstances who
are admitted to the exercise OF political rights,
the,more clearly is 1t necessary that the shelter
Of the ballot should be granted. am confident
that 1t would lessen expenses at elections,
greatly diminish corruption, and destroy the

tsnsively prevails, and that it would make the
House of Commons more complete representa-
tlOn OF the opinions and wishes OF the

conviction on this subject, and / hope
all our friends throughout the country will
accept the ballot as the next great question tor
which, in connection with Parliamentary reform,
they ought to contend. Without this safeguard
there can be no escape from corruption and OPP
preston at elections, and our political contests
will still remain what they now are discredit
to us as a free and intelligent people. II the
Reform League and Reform Union will make
the ballot their next work, they must soon sue
Oeed. need not tell you that shall heartily
join them in their labors for this great end.
hope the friends of the ballot-those who care
for freedom and morality in the working of our

funds to enable you to move on with an in
Creasing force to complete success. Believe
me, always sincerely yours. JOHN BRIGHT.
