This distressing affection—which renderable ml..

by the victims of Improper indulgence.. Young per.
sons are too apt to commit excesses from not being
aware of the dreadful consequences that may eases.
NO., who that unoerstanda the subject will pretend
to deny that the power of procreation Is lost sooner
by thole falling into Improper habits than by the
prudent? Beside' being deprived of the pleasure of
healthy offspring, the moot Erebus and destructive
symptoms otboth body and mind arise. The ',stem

Who does not cast

Alas ! the evil which we fain would shun
We do, and leave the wished-for good un

To cheer and aid in some ennobling cause

If he hath hidden the oatruutt or let in

The lady flounced out In a rage. Tiro
young damsel's and a splinter aunt followed,
and after. a lengthy Inspection of the prem
lees, came to a state copdl in the parlor.
"Very good, ma'am,/' mid Nahum, rub
bing his hands, and scenting a speedy ter
mination to his trials. "Name 'em."
"The door handles must all be gilded,.
and I should like the house newly papered
in velvet, and re-painted, sad the partition
between the parbrs taken down and re
placed by an arch, and an extension dining
room bunt on behind, sad a new style of
range in the kitchen, and a dumb waiter
put in, and new bronze chandeliers through -

and—
"Hold on, ma'am just hold on one min

"Wouldn't you like the old house carted
away, ands new one put in its place ? I
think it would be rather less trouble than
to making the trifling alterations you Bug
gra.
"Sir ?" said the spinster, loftily.
"I dont Wok Iwo oft* weer, raa'aes—
"Very well—very well—oome girls.
With prim diginity the lady marshalled
her two charges out, muttering something
aboat the "extortionate ideas of landlords
now-a-days."
While Nahum, wildly rumpling his iron
grey hair with both bands, soliloquized :
"Well, If Job had been alive, and had a
house to let, there never would have been
any book of Job written. There goes
that everlasting bell again ! • I'll heal It out
by
utferoots, if this thing goes on much
lo er. I'll tear down the bell, and put up
place at auction."
Another, lady, but quite different from the
other—a slender little cast down lady, with
a head that drooped like a lily of the valley,
and a dress of brown silk, that had been
mended, and turned, and re turned, re
trimmed ; and even Nahum Briggs, man and
bachelor though he was, could see how .
shabby it e - th. Yet the was pretty, with
big blue eyes, and shining brown hair, and
cheeks tinged with a fair, fleeting color,
where the velvety roses of youth bad once
bloomed In vivid carmine. •And a golden
haired little lassie clung to her dress; like
the tiny little buds to a blooming chime of
flower bells.
As Nahum Briggs stood looking at her,
there came back to him the sun-shiny days
of yodth ; a field of blooming clover crim

She looked up, starting with a sudden
flush of recwition,
And then Barbara turned very pale, and
began to weep, with the golden haired girl
clinging to her skirts, and wailing—
"Mamma, mamma—what), the matter,
mamma?"
"Nothing' now," amid Barbara, resolutely
brushing away the tears.
"If you pleuee, Mr. - Briggs, I willlook at

Barbara blushed again, and hesitated
but Nahum war not be eluded thus.
"Shall I take down the sign 'TO Let,

"Yes," ske murmured, almost under her

coolly tore down the bill, to the great as

EDITONAL 80 1 / 3 110JUNG. —MOO t people
think the selection of suitable matter for a
newspaper the easiest part of the business.
How great an error. Ws look over fifty
exchange papers daily, from which to
select enough for one, especially when the
question is not what shall, but what shall
not be selected, is no very easy task. If
every person who reads a newspaper could
have edited it, we should have less com
plaints. Not =frequently it is ;he case
that an editor looks over all his _exchange
papers for someting Interesting, and can
find absolutely nothing. Every paper Is
drier than a contribution box,- and yet some
thing mud be bed—his paper must be out
with something In it, and he does the bathe
can. To an editor who has the least care
in what he selects, the writing he has to do
is the easiest part of his labor. Every
subscriber thinks the paper Is printed for
his own benefit, and if there Is nothing that
suits him, ft must be good for nothing. As
many subscribers as an editor has, so many
tastes bas he to consult.
One want' something very smart and an
other something sound. One likes anec
dotes, fun and frolic, and the next door
neighbor wanders that a man of sense
will put such stuff in his paper.
Something spicy comes out and the edi
tor is a dull fool, and so between them all
the poor fellow gets well abused. They
never reflect that what does not snit them
will please the next man, but they insist
that If the paper does not twit them it is
good for nothing, and will itop it right off.
—Exchange.
Ws clip the following from an mrchange.,
and give it to our readers because of its
truthfalness. It is rather* queer piece of
poetic prose, and yet contains more truth
than poetry. We commend it to the notice
of all business mtm :
"When trade grew slack, and notes fell
due, the merchant's face grew long and
blue ; his dreams were troubled through the
night with sheriff 4, bail+, all In eight. At
last his wife unto him said, 'Rise up at
once, get out of bed, and get your paper,
Ink, and pen, and say these words unto all
men:
`My goods I wish to sell to you, and to
your wives and daughters too ; my pricei
they shall be so low, that each shall buy be
fore they go.'
"He did as his good wife advised, and in
the paper advertised. Crowds came and
bought of all he had ; his notes were paid,
his dreams were glad, and he will tell you
to this day how well did printer's ink repay.
"He told us, with a knowing wink, he
was saved with printer's ink.
'The other in a place as tight, contented
was the press to diet. And did not let
the people know of what he had or where
to ge.
"His drafts were due and were not paid ;
a levy on his goods was made ; the store
was closed until the Bale, and for some time
he was in jail. A bankrupt now without a
cent, at leisure he can deep repent, that he
was Aselish and unwise, and did not freely
advertise."

to be married next day, and was supplying
his household in advance, as was the groom's
custom in those days. The articles were
packed on the barrow and_ made a load suf
ficiently heavy for a young mule. But
more willing than able, I startled off, proud
that I could move each amass on the wheel
barrow. I got on remarkably well till I
struck the rand road, now seventh avenue,
leading to my friend B.'s house. There I
tolled and tugged, and tagged and toiled, but
could not budge the load np the hill, the
wheel going to its fall half diameter in the
mud every time I would try to propel for
ward. Finally a good natured Irishman
passing by with his dray took my barrow ,
self and all on his vehicle, and in considera
tion of my promise to pay him a bit landed
me at my destination. I counted the arti
cles carefully as I delivered them, and with
my empty barrow trudged my way back
whistling with glee over my triumph over
difficulty. Some weeks after I paid the
Irishman the bit and never got it back,
from my employers. Bat to the moral. A
merchant had witnessed my struggles and
how zealously I labored to deliver that
of hardware ; he even watched me to the
house and aaw me count each. piece u I
leaded it in the doorway: He sent for me
next day, asked my name, told me he had a
reward for my industry • and cheerfulness
under diflictilty, in the shape pf a five hun
dred dollar clerkship in his establishment.
I accepted, and now, after nearly half a
century has passed, I look back and say I
wheeled myself into all I own, for that re
ward of perseverance was my grand step
ping stone to fortune."
The speaker was a very wealthy banker,
a man of influence and position, and one
universally respected for many good quali
ties of head and heart. Boys, take a moral
from this little story and- be willing and
industrious. You do not know how many
eyes are upon you to dfscover whether you
are are sluggish and careless, or industrious
and willing, or how many there are who, if
you are moral and worthy, will give you a
stepping stone to wealth and position.

she had any hopes of getting married, to
which she replied :
"Weel, sir, I widna surely tell a lie; I

A minx FOR THE BOTI
At a meeting of the stockholders of a
prominent railway corporation, recently
bald at Pittsburg there were present two
gentlemen, both well up in years; one,
however, considerably the senior of the
other. In talking of old times gone by, the
younger gentleman called the attention of
his friends and told a pleasant little story
which should be read by every poor,. In
dustrious and striving lad. We use his own
language: "Nearly half a century ago,
gentlemen, I was put out upon the world to
make my living. I was stout, willing and

any wonder that disasters follow each other
In quick succession? More men are ruined
through indecision than from a wrong ale

work their ruin. Most young men of the
present day enter the great battle of life
without any well defined system of warfare,
and consequently epera l loheir best days in
aimless pursuits. Indecision is the bane nt
our existence. Could we look into the
