Sorry. guess you'll manage to - stand the next fifty miles !" Mr. Smith, the, gpruce young con ductor on the Central Railway cars, ushered in a decrepid, shabbily-at tired old man, who leaned wearily on his staff, and carried _a heavy valise in his hand. The long, dimly-lighted car was full ; every seat was occupied ; band boxes and carpet-bage were held in: their owner's laps ; and there was -at a single chime for the new comer to be accommodated. A couple score of faces.lifted them selves to glance at the old man's face, as he moved slowly and painfully down the narrow aisle. It was plainly evi dent that he had as much as he could do to support himself, and besides he looked like one that was just recov ering from a severe illness-41k cheek was thin and pale, and his eyes lack ed the firg, which ought to sparkle beneath ttrose large and strongly marked brows. There were many well, active loOk ing, healthy young men in the car, but not one- of the number felt dis posed to renounce his soft, comforta ble seat, to the shabby old traveler. And after a stare of undisguised con-: tempt, each and all dropped their eyes and thought no more of the suf fering old age before them. In this enlightened century, it is a notorious fact, that the aged meet " - With slights and incivilities, to say. nothing of positive unkindness, which would have put the barbarous nations of old. to shame. • - Fitz James Enstace, a young ex quisite; who was escorting his cousin, Isabel Winchester; to Nahant, drew doitn his mouth until the, ends of his copper -colored moustache rested up on the tips of his Well starched dick ey, and remarked 'to the lady by his side : "Really, Mr•. Smith is insulting:its!. Why cannot he find a place for that wretched specimen in the second class car ?" .kt flush perhaps of pride—perhaps of anger—mounted to the white fore head of Miss Winchester. - She put out her hand as though to check the speaker, and said in a subdued voice : " Fitz James, will you giie that gentleman your seat?" , "My dear 'lsabel! why, I would not evacuate my place by your side for a kingdom! Let the old fellow stand it out! It won't damage hie appearance, be bound." • " Then I will trouble, you to rise a moment ; I prefer the • other side of, the seat. Allow me to pass; if yori please." • Fitz. James ne% er thought of dis puting the'will his . iniperions cou sin, so he stood up, to let her go out. But instead of taking the seat which her escort had. occupied, the-lady walked straight on, until shereached thq;side of the neglected old gentle man. The touch of her hand on his shoulder drew his attention towards her. " Sir, will yon have • the goodneti to take the seat which I have vacated? I have ridden since early this. morn ing, and am really weaned with sit ting so long. Fray oblige me." - The old man's facehrightened, and he cast a grateful look into the dark eyes of the handsome lady. • " But, madame, you must be weary; I cannot accept She made an impatient gesture. Miss Winchester was accustomed to have her way. " No, sir ; I am well, young and strong. I should be ashamed to 'kit while a man of your age lind healat remained standing." " Thank youl Your kindness is well-timed and not thrown away. , I venture, to Cell you I shall 'accept your offer with gratitude." - - So saying, the old gentleman spilt into the vacant seat, with a ,wellfsat isfied expression of, countenance ;,but Fitz James expressed his unbounded contempt for his neighbor by draw,. ing his ample raglan closelY around him, and shrinking nearer to the aide of the car. The stranger_ looked-:at . ,him with quiet scorn. " You need not trouble yourself tit slip through the window , "said lie in a Voice of irony. Fitz James Was thoroughly-diignal; ed.

The e'r'ect of all , this 'it is easy enough tit see.. l While men are bad by , =tan, it is With their habits as with water that yonleave to take care of itself. They run down hill. They seek the 'lowest level We say as much in our term "loose habits "- that is, habits which, being left at random, are on the downward grade, as a matter of course: Nov, a rational creature of God has no right -to . fiitter away his strength or resources_ With Out know ing where they have gone. 4- Power is only:, another name _foi. duty. For whatever particle of power &man has he must answer to God. '4ld it is his business to know how much he has, how much hehas used, and whut has become of it. . , " But," you say, "habit must, in the very nature oft, be soniethi4 unconscious: It is that which we do so, often as to came to be hardly aware that• we do it at all." The as sertion is both true and false. Fur instance, a young, lady practices on the piano. She first studies out the notes; and then goes over them on the keys twain.; and again. What is she doing.? 'Availing herself of, the law of habit. . Her •aim is. to make her fingers sti- used to the motions that they shall almost of themselves travel over the keyboard.; She is coy wiousty trying to reach a kind of unconscious perfection. Now, in much the same way, a man - ought to take the control of his habits for high mor al ends. Suppose you bring yourself into the way of thinking of Christ and heaven nt leisure moments,. as many a good man has,-till it gets to be almost a • second nature to do that, your mind turns to it before you are aware—is that anything really Unconscious,' after=. all ? • A ~r and privileffe this is—to be making np good Habits that shall, at least partly, take care of themselveS. The young pianist, practicing one piece afte4 another, gets in time a stock of them that her hands can run 'through as by instinct' They' need -reviewing, now and then, it is true, to keep them fresh ; but, in the main, they hold themselves ii her memory. So with good habits Once thoroughly formed. They become part of one's. conscious moral wealth ; and so much the nore because . We repeat them half unconsciously.. Ent for bad habits there is a heav ier and sharper responsibility than most young people_seem aware of. Men talk as if, when anything they do has set itself up as a habit, that fact alone - gave it some new rights in the world—some higher standing - and dignity. Now the folly of a Turk or. in an Arab, whp persists scratching the' ground with a forked stick, in stead of takl'ng a patent plow, is wis dom compared with-tins. That is only stupid ; this is wicked. A young man says, - if we urge him to 40 some thing,'or stop doing 'something else, " That is not-in my line of things "; or, "This is my habit. I have done it for years.'" . *hat" of that ? Do -you mean twanswer, when called to account in the Judgment for the neg lect of some. matter, " Lord, that was not mY fashion "? • Do you expect to find the dignity and. importance .of this bad habit of yours acknowledged there? SeCt what you are confessing in this - plea that a habit is upon you. Yon are coolly Saying that you _have done the bad thing so realty times over that that ought to be considered in your favor! Suppose - a Hindoo put on his trial for: ;murder, and, when convicted and asked Why sex:l. 7 tence - should-noti lie passed; he an swers, " It is. trne,.your Honor, that lam guilty. - But-then I belong to a gang of the Thugs. - I hare been mur dering all my-life long.
