Two little pairs of boots to-night, Before the fire are drying, Two little pairs of tired feet In a trundle-bed are lying; The tracks they left upon the floor, Make me feel much like sighing. Those little boots with copper toes ! They run the livelong day ! And oft times I almost wish That they were miles away ! So tired I am to hear so oft Their heavy tramp at play. They wade about the new-plowed ground, Where mud in plenty lies, They roll it up in marbles round, They bake it into pies ; And then at night upon the floor In every shape it dries. To-day I was disposed to scold ; But when I look to-night. At these little boots before the fire, With copper toes so bright, I think how sad my heart would be To put them out of sight. For in a trunk, up stairs PVC laid Two socks of width and blue ; If called to put those boots away, 0 God, what should I do? I mourn that there are not to-night Three pair instead of two. I mourn because I thought how nice My neighbor "'cross the way," - Could keep her carpets, all the year, From getting worn or gray ; Yet well I know she'd smile to own Some little boots to-day 1 We mothers weary get and worn, Over our load of care ; But how we speak of little ones Let each of us beware, For what would our firesides be to-night, If no little boots were there? '''gtioreti a utoito. Aspirations to be Rick. A youth writes us as follows—and his case is like that of so many others that wo treat it thus publicly; suppressing his name : " Dear Sir : I am a poor boy. I want to get rich. Now what shall Ido ? I would like to quit this section. I don't want to remain on my father's farm. Please give me the best advice you can, and oblige, Yours, G. G. S." An Ste Cr . —The aspirations to be rich— thongh by no means the highest that can impel a career—is, in our view, wholesome and laudable. The youth, , whosurs, : „4l..l)e,"...yle . l.f.akt: ; 2ol"p , . 'iittrinri-‘bieZ4ifeeeck 14 . L 1 ) Q t.-J..7 :ar_ . „.. ~ + f.:;, very likely t.ia, bring up is some. State Prison ; but he who consistently says, " Let me first be " just, honest, moral, diligent, useful ; then " riches," is on the right road. Every boy ottyht to aspire to he rich, provided he can be without unfaithfulness to social obliga tion or to moral principle. But, how shall be set about getting rich ? We would concisely say : I. Firmly resolve never to owe a dcbt. It is the fundamental mistake of most boys to suppose that they can get rich faster on money earned by others than on that earned respectively by themselves. If every youth of 18 to 25 years were to-day offered $lO,OOO for ten years at 7 per cent. interest, two-thirds of them would die bankrupts and paupers. Boys do not need money half so much as they need to know how to save it. The boy who, at the close of his first year of in dependence, has earned and saved $lOO, and invested or loaned it where it will pay him six or seven per cent., will al ' most surely become rich if he lives; while he who closes his first year of re sponsibility in debt, will probably live and die in debt. There is no greater mistake made by our American youth ' than that of choosing rather to pay in terest than receive it. Interest devours us while we sleep; it absorbs our profits and aggravates our losses. Let a young man at twenty-five have $l,OOO loaned on bond and mortgage or invested iu ' securities, and he will rarely want money thereafter; in fact, that $l,OOO, invested at 7 per cent., will of itself make hint rich before he is sixty. There is no rule more important or wholesome for boys than that which teaches them to go through life receiving rather than paying it. Of the torments which afflict this mortal sphere, the first rank is held by Crime ; the second by Debt. 11. Acquire promptly and thoroughly some useful calling.—Sonao pursuits are 1 more lucrative, some more respectable, some more agreeable, than others; but a 1 chimney-sweep's is far better than uone at all. No matter how ria. is parents may be, a boy piny learn some trade if he will. Now York City is full to-day of young (and old) men who have been clerks, boot:-keepers, porters, &c., &c., ',yet can grid nothing to do, and are starving because their foolish parents did not give them trades. A trade is an estate, and almost always a productive one. A good, efficient farm-laborer can generally find paying work if he does not insist in looking for it in a city where it cannot well be; while many a college graduate tarnishes because no body wants the only work be knows how to do.

Resolve not to be a rozier.—" A rolling-stone gathers no moss,". but is constantly thumped and knocked, and often shivered to pieces. If you are honest and industrious, you must be con stantly making reputation, which, if you remain in one place, helps you along the road to fortune. Even a' hod carrier or 'street-sweeper who has proved that his promise to appear on a given day and hour and go to work may be trusted; has a property in the confidence thus created. you Cannot find your work where- you now are, migrate ; but do it cnde for all.

Au Italian named Bianeoui settled in Ireland some sixty years ago, and got very rich there by gradually establishing lines of passenger conveyances all over that island. Almost any man would have said that lie who went to Ireland to make his fortune must be mad. He who knows how, and will work, can get rich growing potatoes in New England, though he hasn't a five-cent stamp to begin with. There is w ork that will pay flr a million more people on the soil ofeonneetieut alone. There are millions of unproductive acres within a day's ride of New York City that might be bought and rendered largely fruitful at a clear profit of $lOO or more per acre. A man in Niles, Michigan, declined to go a uld hunting in the Rocky Mountains because there was more gold in Niles than ho could get hold of. The reason was A good one, and it applies almost every where. If you can find nothing to do where you are, it is generally because you can do nothing. Ar. .

Our youth squander in extra food and drinks, in frolic and dissipation, wide!: does them harm instead of good, the means which should be the nest-egg of their future competence. When cares and children cluster about them, they grumble at their hard-fortutie ; forgetful that they wasted the years and the means which might and should have saved them from pre sent and future poverty. All these are very trite, homely truths. All our boys have heard them again and again ; but how many have laid them to heart? We assure G. G. S., and every other youth, that each way become rich if he will—that " to be or not to be," rests entirely with hiu:self; and that his very first lesson is to distrust and shun by-paths and short cuts, and keep straight along the broad, obvious, beaten high way.----Arciv• York Tribune. llulla - Boy with a Glass Eye. A man stopping at a hotel in St. Louis last week, took out his glass eyo before going to bed and placed it iu a tumbler on the wash stand, beside a pitcher full of water. Another traveler arrived at the hotel and was shown to a bed in the same room. lle awoke very thirsty during the night, and going to a wash stand in the dark, filled the tum bler with water, which he swallowed in a gulp, glass eye, and all. Traveler No. 1 awoke at daylight, and missing his eye, dressed, and after breakfasting, went out to purchase a new one. Menu time, the other traveler, who had passed au uncomfortable night, and was restless ly dozing in the morning, awoke at t o'clock with a severe pain in the stomach and a doctor was sent for. Various remedies were tried without avail, when ti,u emetic was resorted to, which, to the astonishment of the sufferer, brought up the glass eye which he had unconscious ly swallowed in the night. As WE stand by the sea shore and. watch the huge tides come in,we retreat, thinking ryewill be overwhelmed.; soon, however, they flow back. So with the waves of trouble in the world ; they threaten us, but a firm resistance makes them break at our feet. JrE your desires and aversions to the common objects and occurrences in this life be but few and feeble. Make it your daily business to moderate your aversions and desires, and to govern them by reason. This will guard you against many a ruffle of spirit, both of anger and 6OrrOW.
