One Of our exchanges gives the follow,
ing good reply to the question "What
kind OF man is attractive to women ?"


The answer can be given in few
words: God has so made the sexes that
women, like children, cling to men, lean
upon them as though they were superior
in miLd and body. They make them the
sums OF their system, and they and their
children revolve around them. Men are
gods il they but knew it, and the women
burning incense at their shrines. Wor
men, therefore, who have good and pure
hearts. want men 10 lean upon. Think
OF their reverencing a drunkard, liar, a
foo', or libcrtine


II man would have woman do him
homage, he must be manly in every
sense; true gentleman, not after the
Chesterfield school, but polite because his
heart is fn!l OF kindness to all; one who
treats her with respect, even Difference,
because she is woman; who never con.
descends to say silly things TO her; who
brings her up to his level # his mind is
above hers; who is never over anxio us
to please her, but always anxious to do
right; who has no time to be frivolous
with her; always dignifed in speech and
act; who never spends too much money
upon her; never yields to temptation,
even If she puts it in his way; who is
ambitious TO make bis mark in the world
whether she encourages him or not; who
is never familiar with her to the extent
Of being an adopted brother or cousin ;
who is not over-careful about dress al.
ways pleasant and considerate, but al.
ways keeping his place ss the man, the
head, and never losing.


Such department, with noble principles
a good mind, energy and industry, will
win any woman in the land who ia worth
the winning.

A boy watched a large building, as the
workmen from day 10 day carried up
bricks and mortar.


"My son. said his father, "you seem
taken with the bricklayers. Do you
think OF learning the trade 7"


mo, sir; l was thinking Of what lit.
tie thing brick is, and what great houses
are built by laying one brick upon an
other"


"Very true, my son; never forget it,
So 1t is in all great works. All your
learning is one lesson added 10 another.
II man could walk around the world,
It would be by putting one foot before
another. Your whole life will be made
up OF one moment upon another
Drops added to drops make the ocean,"


Learn from this not to despise little
things


"Be not discouraged by great labors.
They become easy IL divided into parts.
You could not jump over a mountain,
but step by step takeS you to the other
side. Do not fear, therefore, to attempt
great things. Always remember that
the large buildings went up only one
brick upon another"

Life is beautifully compared to a fOun-
tain fed By 2 thousand streams, that
perishes If one is dried. II is a silver
chord twisted with a thousand strings
that parts asunder if ene is broken.
Frail and thoughtless mortals are sur
rounded by innumerable dangers, which
make it much more strange that they
escape so long, than that they all perish
suddenly at last. We are eneompassed
with accidents every day, to crush the
moulding tenements that we inhabit.
The seeds of disease are planted in our
constitution by nature. The earth and the
atmosphere, whence we draw the breath
of life, is pregnant with death. Health
is made to operate its own destruction
The food that nourishes contains the ele-
ments of decay the soul that animates
,jt by vivifying fire, tends to wear it out
by its own action; death Turks in ambush
along our paths. Notwithstanding this
is the truth so palpably confirmed by the
daily examples before our eyes, how little
do we lay it to the heart! We see our
friends and neighbors perishing among
MS. but how seldom does il occur to our
Thoughts that our knell shall, perhaps,
give the next fruitless warning to the
world.
