The early spring of our North Ameri ca ia s fickle and onacrupalous season. Sharp contrasts delijht her; sudden changes are her pwcaliar joy. To follow warm days with cold blizzards; to tempt the unwary oat minus overcoats and galoches and then overwhelm them with a worse than January rigor : to run the temperature up and down tbe gamut of dejrrees, from zero to midsummer heat, seema to afford her peculiar satifAction. It ia not to be wondered at, therefore, that three elderly and highly peconioca gentlemen of New York, who left that city on an April morning, under skies of tender blue-gray, sulfused with golden ranehine, should have found themselves at kalf-past seven of the same evening struggling in s enow-bank in the oat ekirts of the little vilUge trailed Pot Haven. Of them it might be truly said that "going out to shear they came back ehorn." Their errand, s secret and in formal conference with a financial mag- nate, who chanced to be spending s week ; at k s country seat, had to do with one of j those mvsterious re-ditributions of s i great railroad property, and puts money into the pockets of a few rich men and takes it from s myriad of poor ones. All had gone sum essfuliy, and chuck ling over the idea of their comicg coup, thsy had turned their horses heads city wardfur tempted by the beauty of the j weather, they had driven out in a light j open trap belonging to the younger of the three, only to find s snowstorm un der way and steadily increasing. The wind was in their faces, the sleet fierce and cutting, the recollections of the road became confused by the blinding ehower and more than one wrong turn wax made before Fate landed them, with a brakes pole, in a drift four cr five feet deep, ex actly where they did not know. Mr. Joy Rollins, tne oldert and richest of the three men. fell undermost ; Mr. Saltonstall on top of fcim, and Perry Pugh, the owner of the team, crowned the heap. He was np in s moment, and with an activity worthy a younger msn, tried to rein in the kicking and strug gling horses. It proved s job beyond his strength, and seeing s boose close by with s lighted window, he began to call for aid. Hallo! House! House, I say! Is there anybody there ? Come out and help me." The door opened and Mr. Terry Pu;h ottered s forcible "Pshaw ! for the form which appeared on tbe threshold was that of s woman, whoee petticoats flut tered wildly in the w ind as she leaned forward to see who railed. "Is there s man there?" shouted Mr. Fugh in extremity, as the off-horse made another desperate plunge. "No," came back the answer in s clear young Voice. There isn't ; bat I'm just as good. Hold on one minute and I'll be there." She ran rapidly in and as rapidly re turned, having thrust her feet into India rubber boots and buttoned on s .cloak. Another second, nd her hand was on the bit of the nearest horse. "I can hold him," she cried. "See if some of yoa others can undo the har ness." Her band seemed to poess some calm ing influence over the horse, for present ly he stopped rearing. Mr. Tcgh's ani mal also quieted down, so that he was able to help in the unharnessing. Soon the horses were free. "Now," said the woman, "you and mell hsve to lead them to the barn." She pointed to s dark blotch in the grayness, snd with confident sttps led the way towards. Perry Pugh followed as best he might. He heard her slide s door back, then the rattle of s horse's feet on s wooden floor, but he .r noth ing. "I've tied that one," sa'iJ the woman, coming back. "Here, give me the reins of yours. I know the way. Jim'll fetch out s lantern directly." "Why didn't yoa send tk'.s Jim in the first p'.ace?" demanded Mr. Pugh, with rather scant courtesy, as he followed tbe sound of hoofs under the cover, "instead of coming out and getting wet yourself." "Couldn't. Ile a not to home," was the concise answer. "Besides be is too small, only twelve. But he om carry s lantern and he will, when he comes in." She was hitching the horse as she spoke, seeming to find by instinct the stall snd tbe ring in the darkness. "We'd better get back to the others ; it's snowing more thsn ever," she said, when the business was concluded. Mr. Srltonstsll was trying to help Joy Rollins on to his feet oat of the debris of broken carriage, lap robes and snow. "Hart, Rollins?" asked Mr. Perry Pugh, anxiously. "Not much. Shonlder is s little stiff, bat it is nothing serious. Tm baif froi en, however. Did yoa ssy there was s boose near?" "Yea, sir; snd there is s good fire in the stove," put in the invisible girl. "Yoa'd better all come snd get warm. T.- n A.- .nvthin? with lis no use w . i .... t-. inst the camaze t:a we can see. x u just pick np the robes, tboogh, it won't im prove them to get soaked." She heaped thern in her arms as she spoke. "This way, sir," she said ; then noting s stAfc-ger on the f-rt of Mr. Rollins, she ESTAJBLISBLED 1827. pnt the other stroaj young arm ender his. "Lean on me," she said. Yon needn't be afraid. I'm as si roc z as a horse." Strong she was. Mr. Rollins, who was more shaken np than lie liked to confess, found himself half carried over the drift ed sidewalk and np the two little steps of the porch, and deposited close to the fire in s conufortAbie rocking chair with calico cushions. lie sank into it with s si;h of relief, while tbe girl for s girl she proved to be, of foar or five and twenty, with a fresh but by no means pretty face and a strong, we!l-bcilt figure j hastily pulled forward two other chairs, j one s ith rockers and no arms, and the j other with arma and no rockers. I "Now, before you sit down, yoa "d bet j ter let me give yoa s bras.!!," she said. "You're all white with snow." Suiting the action to the word, she produced a stout whink-broom, and in s short time the snow was on the floor, then in s dut pan and then cast into the stov? to melt at its leisure. "I hope your feet are not damp," she said to Mr. Joy Rollins, s ho, as the sen ior of the party, seemed to particularly attract her notice, "Yoa haven't got on any rubbers ?" "Rubbers were the last thing he thought of when he started," said Mr. Perry Pugh. "The morning was as dry and warm as could be.' "Yes, so it was here, but I sort of mis trusted it, too. You take your shoes off, ir, and I'll put them to dry." There never tu such s quick girL Is one minute, as it seemed, the had the shoes drying, and old Roiiin's feet on s "cricket" ilh a blanket shawl to keep tt.pju warm. "That's comfortable," lie said, with s littie groan of contentment, "I'm greatly obliged to you. I wonder if I coald have s cop of tea without putting yoa to s great deal of trouble." "Why, of course yoa could " "And would it be possible would it inconvenience you bx) much to to in Ltct, to give ns all something to eat," put in Mr. SAltcnstall. gravely. "We lunched earlier than usual, and, if I may judge my friends by myself, are ravenou!y hungry. It most be 5 o'clock. Ly Jove," consulting his watch, "twenty past, and I forgot about the train. When does the next pass this station?" "There isn't any more to-day, except the "Owl" at eleven thirty-five, and that d'e?n"t stop." "We must make it stop. I'll telegraph, Siitonstall. Yon authorize me, of course. Shall I sign your name?" Mr. Ssltonstail nodded. "Lut,"said the girl, in a bewildered tone, "what difference would s name make? They don't stop whenever they're told to." "t h, my friend here is has something to do with the manacfment They'll stop fur Ami. AndnoWjMias he paused quest ioningly. "Savary's my name. Berry Savary." "If you could, without too much trouble, give us a little sapper." "That's just what I'm trying to thick out," said his hostess, frankly. "Yoa see, Jim and me was goicg to have clams and dipped toast for tea" "Clams and dipped toast ! Ambrosia!" interrupted Ferry Puh. "Yes, but yoa see there are only a few clams, not half enough for yoa gentle men, if you are properly hungry. I wi-h I'd known, and I'd have dug more, We only" At that moment the door was flung open, letting in s fresh whirl of snow, and a boy with a tin pail in his hand en tered. "Ob, Irry, I hope yoa haven't been poared about me. Me an 1 old Brooks went out to the south oyster bed, and got cancht in tbe snow and couldn't get ba k. We had to scull all the way against the w ind, and you'd better believe-" Here he took in the fact of the visitors, and relapsed into bashful and curious observation. "What's in the pail?" demanded his sister. "Ovsters. Uncle Brooks savg " "Never mind that now. Light the lan tern and go cut to the barn and see if two horses that are there are fastened cp all right; and give them some hay" with an interrogative glance at their owner. "Then keep on to the telegraph station with s messase this gt ntleman'll give yon, and if Noble's gone home, go after him and teil him it's important ai.d got to go risht off. Then stop at tbe tav ern and tell Mr. Spives that the depot CArriaere must come here at eleven to take three gentlemen to the 0L Hurry, Jim, and bv the time yoa get back ther'll be something good and hot ready for yoa." Jim was evidently onder excellent discipline. He went without a word. Berry hastened into the next room w hich seemed to be s sort of supplementary kitchen, and presently smoke and s clatter of stove lids issued therefrom. Mr. Sa'.tonstall nodded to old Rollins and remarked : "There's s girl with a head on her shoulders. I'd like to put her in charge of section ten, in place of that dunce of s Poyse. She'd make s first class railroad aert to make men stand round." "Tbe kind they used to fcave in the old colonial days," remarked his friend. "I only wish they'd take to manufacturing them again, of the same old patterns, as they do the chairs and sideboards. No nonsense about her." A smed of roasting coffee began to carl from the outer room, and presently Berry reappeared. In s series" of rapid dashes she seemed tl do everything in dashes she pc'led a round table to the fire, spread s napkin on it, arranged caps snd saucers, and set s pile of plates to warm in the glow of the stove grate. The smells without grew more outrageously appetizing each moment, and the hunger of tbe amused and obserTant guests more imminent and keen. "Here," cried Berry, darting in with s small covered diah, "are tbe clams what there is of 'em. There's jtut one small heap apiece, but they'll keep yoa from qaite starving till I can gt the oysters fried. And here is yoar cup of tea, sir." She placed a little brown pot by Mr. Rollins'! side saJ set a plate full of crisp i . , r.v- . v j toast in the center of the tabie, and van- ; ished again. "Heavens! What clamp!" cried Mr. ! Perry Pn?h, after the Crst mouthful. j i bey were or the smaii, round variety ! far which Pot Haven is famous, and were indeed delicious. When the last dr;p of their gravy was soaked an, the three i.un gry mi'lionaiivs felt their appetites but whetted f r what ru next to come. The next course consisted of ovsters, crumbled and fried to perfection, hot muffins of graham flour, crisp and flaky, which Berry called "pop downs'' ; also the best coffee that any of them had ever tasted. Following this was s dish of apples, baked in some marvelous man ner, which converted each into s half- ! jellied globe of translucent sweetness, j The guests ate and praised with immense gostj, and Berry beamed upon them I while she served the edibles with a sense of real satisfaction. "Orandmother Savary taught me to cook," the said, in answer to a question) from Rollins, who seemed ten years younger from the influence of this unex pected good cheer. "Mother died when Jim was a year old snd I wasn't but thirteen, and she took us both. She was j s natural born cook, I heard folks say. and she knew all the old ways, so I learned them, too." "Dear me, I dare say she could make chicken pot-pie," said Mr. Pugh. "I re member how good it used to taste when I was a boy." "Cornbeef bash, perhaps, such as my mother used to make," ventured Mr. Sal tonstalL "Chowder, not unlikely," put in old Roliins, "and hoe-cake like we had at home La'.f s century ago." "Fork and beams with a dash of mo lasses," suggested SaltonstalL "Corn-bread, pan-dowdy, doughnuts." added Perry Pugh. Berry nodded, smiling to each of them in turn. "Every one of them," she replied. "I never saw such corn-beef hash as grand mother's, or such beans either. As for her pumpkin pies." no one ever began to touch them, unless it were me, and mine never quite came cp to them, and they never will. I just wish yoa could stay long enough and I would make yoa one, and a pot -pie, too," There was a cordial good-will in her voice that was contag:ota. She was clear ing away (he supper things as she spok-, and Mr. Saltonstall now brought s chair and beggd her to be seated. "Yoa have tired yourself quite enough for as :" he said. Sit don now and tell as a little about your plans and your j brother's What are yea going to do j with him? Is this house your own?" j "No; grandaisther had a five year's lease cf it, which is ail but np. We must leave it, and I'd like to leave Pot Haven, if I could. Jim's got to earn his living, and I must do something to help; but I don't know much about anything except cooking, and no one wants that there. Almost every body does their own work yoa know. There's very little chance for any one in soch a place as this." While she spoke, Mr. Joy Rollins was "taking stock" of her. For half s cen tury his keen eyes had scrutinized the face of affairs and the souls of men. Very little escaped them. He noted the set of her head, the clear gaze of her hon est eyes, the wholesome pink lips and cheeks, and the air of vigorous capacity which accompanied her every moversent. It was cearing train time. "Let me catch that tear in yocr over coat together before yoa go," said Berry to Mr. Rollins. She did so, then fetched his shoes, dry and warm now, and help- i el him on with them and with the coat ; as simply as if he had been her lather. 3Ir. Saltonstail rolled np a bank bill and tried to slip it into her band. "What's that for?" she demanded, sharply. "It's a trifle iu recompense for ail the trouble you've taken for ns,'' he replied. "To pay tor it !" cried Berry Savarrt with a fliteh of her eyes. "No, sir! Trial's not the way in our bouse. It wa.-?n1 much I could do, but such as it was yoa are kindly welcome to it. We Savarys djn't expect payment f r giving strang ers a meal who are spilt in snow drifts at our doors." "Saltonstail," cried Mr. Perry Puh, suppressing tbe fact that his own palm concealed a rampble bill, "I am surprised at you !" "My dar," interposed Mr. Joy Rol lins. "Yoa are a good girlnd you shall have vour own way. We are not a bit too prond to accept yoar hospitality, but you must let ns thank yoa. You've taken care of as all, of me in particular, as if yoa were my own daughter and a good deil better," he added to himself. His look restrained his companions from making any farther attempt at pay ment. Presently the depot hack, a wretched old baronche of antiquated model, appeared : and with a hearty good bye they departed. Berry, as she wash ed and put away hei dishe?, half thought that the whole visit had been a dream. But dreams do not seed back letters: Tea days later, this missive came to Pot Haven Peas Ma daw : Your visitors of last Tuesday hepe you have not f rgctten them, as they certain ly have not forgotten your kindness to them on the night of the storm, or your excellent cookery. I am instructed by them to make yoa a proposition. Would yoa feel inclined to quit your present location, come to New York and cater for s lunch club of sixteen gentlemen, all tuidd'e-aed and respectable? They will guarantee the rent of suitable rooms, together with the wags of one woman servant, and all expenses, and pay yoa in addition fifty dollars ;io0i s month. Besides this, I, personally, will under take to find work for yoar brother in the employ of the E.CA Y. R. R, with which I am in connection ; where he will have fair pay and a chance to work np if he has the right stuff in him. Please let as have yoar definite an swer by Tuesday, the 20:b, The rooms will be ready on May 5th, in ra you doide to come. We should wish to con sider tbe agreement binding for one year, at the expiration of which both parties shall be free to make other arrangements if desired. Yocrs very truly, Jot Roluxs. Thia was eight years since, and for that length of time Berry Savary has presid ed over, what her cliants call, the nicest lunching place in New York. The bright little corner room ased by the dab, has s sanded floor, duly swept into patterns by broom every morning; this by s special request of Mr. Saltans:!', who remembered soch a one in the kiwhen of his vouio. All the chairs are wooden cues, with "patch" cushions, to salt th Ji:JL wJL Cti desire of oi l Mr. Caalelonpe. another cf her customers, There are plants ia the windows, and on cold days a knapping wood fire; it is s pleasant plate. Tha club pet her s good deal and are very good U her, tut they keep her existence s profound secret, only now and then letting in some eminent strntr from out of town, as a great favor, to eat such a lunch as, they truly ssy. cannot be found anywheie else in the city. Eerry orders everything. The only restriction upon her freedom is tbe rule that tae same thing is not to be sent in oftener than once in five days There are two hearty dishes always, with a sweet of some sort to follow; and such browa J bread, and bread, and muffins as are not to te had anywhere else. Sometimes it is chowder; sometimes fricasseed chick en, or baked fish with s saory stuping; or grandmother's hash, or fried liver and bacon, which no one in the world, save Berry, has the secret of doing in exact perfection ; bat always, whatever it is, it ia perfect of its kind. And Berry has a wonderfdl knack fbr remembering and suiting the individual tastes of her "old gentlemen," as she calls them. Her Indian puddings and fried mush are a perpetual astonishment to them ; her pumpkinpies and Marlbo rough tarts, the ideals about which they talk among themselves to the discom fiture of their several chiefs ar.d high priced caterers. ( nce Berry proposed to them that she should take aome lessons and learn new dishes. "They say croquettes ars good," she urged. "And there's something called a roV-jvrtd that folks seem to like." Her list was cut short tya groan of disapprobation from the corx pany. "My dear croquettes and ro an r.-rJt are exactly what we tame here to escap from," cried old Caaleloupe. "For heav en's sake stay as yoa are! If yoa once learn those French messea ycuare a ruin ed woman." So Berry stayed as she was, and pets and comforts her old millionaires of whom she does not stand in the least in awe according to the old-fashioned mod els. Mr. Joy Rollins is, perhaps her tpecial favorite. "He's so nice and kind," she telis Jim. And though this is not exactly the estimate ia which that eminent financier is held ia Wall street, he really is so to Berry. He invests her littie savings for her in wonderfdl ways so that they double and redouble in no time, and her balance in bank is rolling I np into a respectable earn. 5Ieanwhile. I she has her evenings free and wiihJ:ai for an escort, can see and do all manner of pleasant things equally unknown and impossible to tne dwellers ia Pot Haven. The "old gentlemen " have a pleasant habit of leaving roncert and theatre tick ets on the table for her use. "Isn't it just like what the B ble says abo'U entertaining angels uaaware?" she. tells Jim. "That snow storm didn't amount to anything, it wa3 melted in two days, and yet all this has coma of it." "Hum !" mattered Jim, "Pretty fine angels they are, I gnesa." Jim has learned a thing or two. yoa see during his training in the employ of the K.C.& Y. R. R. Company. Bat "angels is as angels does," Berry truly holds, and Jim's disclaimers count for nothing with her. Lnll.t' II tne Jvirual The Prairie Mirage. A turnirg summer sua hail beaten down on the prairie for days. Furnace like, tbe south w inds came racing out of the pulsing haze at the far horizon. The sky seemed of copper and the floor like plain's once emerald disk was tinged by the heat with grayish brown. But one object broke the monotonous sameness of the scene a wbite covered wagon, its Capping canvas top givinjc scant shelter to tbe emigrant and his wife crouched within. Their journey ha been long, and (ever throbs in the wom an's veins. Suddenly the man locks up, startled. Their search fsr a home is over. "See !" he cries in joy. They hsve come out on the edge of a wide reaching valley. Lines of dense leaved, billowy forest head and sway ia a gentle breeze. A Lake, with here and there a touch of foam to relieve the sparkling blue of the waves, restlessly tosses and wrinkles its waters. Bread, meadows suggesting clover and goiden rod are near by, and the undulations of the grass are like those cf the lake. Yon der, along the beach, they catch a giimo of dwellings seeming palacvs whose bold frontage awes their simple minds. "See!" calls out again the glad hus band, and bis strong arm lifts the faint ing w ife that she may get a bi tter view. Rest ia there and hope and joy. The burdens of the past have been so great '. Ia the fierce race of life tb"y have been left so far behind ; but now the journey over the thin-grassed prairie is al:nce ended the heaven is in eight. They caa almost taste the frtiits of the deep foliage trees and catch a sc?ct of th clover and of the sea. Hungrily, earnestly they feast their eyes as they gaze through the opening in the flapping canvas. A passing cloud drifts suddenly before the sun. A cry of pain and disappointment surges to the woman's lips as she sees again a dreary length cf plain whose level lines had so long fatigued her eyes. Tbe torrid winds finds not s leaf to stir. She falls back on her heat filled pillow. The mirage has lifted. The emlsract is alone in the midst of the prairie with, his dead. Allow me to add my tribute to the ef ficacy of Ely's Cream Balm. I was suf fering from a severe attack of influenza, and catarrh and was induced to try yoar remedy. The result was marvelou. I coald hardly articulate, snd in less than twenty-four hoars the catarrhal symp toms and my bmrseneas disappeared, and I was able to sing a hesvy role in Grand Opera with voice unimpaired- I strongly recommend it to all singers, William H.

She " Yes, bat don't yoa thick it is even more beautiful still amon the, boul ders away from the hotel?" It had occurred to her that be, too, might b bolder over there. WHOLE NO. 21(U. THE BOY THAT IS WANTED. How caa a bey succeed? I am often asked ? Ia it trjo, as many people con tend, that a!! walks of life are over crowded, and there is no place fcr the your.-r generation? I think not. I have ia Kind the sort of a boy that can succeed, and I say to all boys now, there is fame and fortune for tLeta if they are ma le of the right sort cf stuff. The boy w ho is wanted in the office, the shop, the store, the backing norae, in fact in any branch of mercantile or professional life, is the boy who is not afraid to work, who is educated, gentle manly, polite, neat in dress, honest, trust fa!, and self-respecting. Such lads are in demand everywhere. They are sought for with eti-rsts!', and, when found, em ployers delight iu put-hin.: them forward, in opening to theia new fields of enter prise and nsefii'ness ia c-akiag them the;r conridacL", ar.d finally taking them into partnership. Boys who are slovenly in attire, who are stnpid, uncivil, and who cannot be trusted, are to be had, but they are not likely to keep a position for any length of time, anl employers do cot want them. The boy who is wanted most be educa ted. If h is parents cannd afford to give him a high-school or eolleye education, he mast ieara to sta jy without the aid of - uer, ia tue eariy morning Deiore ourness begins, and :n the evenings af- ter business hours. It can no longer be truthfully said that an education is out nf.n.r.'..,i, iv. !..j;.i,.i...i Our splendid sobool system, where one can study tv dav or ia the evenin;:. hs put the priceless treasure of an ed-.catioa within the reach i of all. The main thing, ia the begin- ning, that I would impress upon boys is one of the ureat o,ni'r.j".!mrt "Hnnw thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be loc ia the land w hich the Lord thy God giveta thee." The boy w ho resists his father and mother, who treats his sisters and broth ers with loving kiadoess, has laid a good foundation for a successful career. You wiil do as ycttr parents tell yoa, and that certainly wiil be tj study. Don't he in a Lurry to pet away from yocr school books. The cares and responsibilities of business life will come soon enough. Go to school as lor as you can, and, re me:L.ber, every hear spent in study in your youth will be worth money to yoa ia after l.fe. Read good books the Bi ble, above a!L Make yourself acquaint ed with history. Study the progress of natiocs and the careers of men who have made nations gneat. If yoa Lave no li brary of yoar own, join one of the nu merous associations to be found in all cit ies, w here 'ood, healthful bocks may be obtained. Study religion, science, state craft and history. Learn to read intel ligently, so that yoa may turn to practi cal ase in after life the reading of your youth. Be snre yoa begin right. Do not wa.-te time in reading trashy books. If you do not know how to select books ask yocr father cr mother, ycur minister, your .hool teac her cf ycur employer to do it for you. Drink deep from the well of knowledge. The tor that is wanted ia business to-day mit be well educated and if he a not, and fails ia business life, hecan blame no one but himself, A good edocaticn is half the bi"ie. It is with ia tbe reach of ail. Be hone-?. Honesty is the only road to snevt'ss. Dishonesty, sharp practices, and tncks may s jeeeed for a brief sea son, but taat is all. No peraian-nt suc ceed Las e ."er been built on dishor-esty. The prisons are riiied with boys and men who have tried it, and failed. The men who are respectel among men are those who can I re'i-d npon, who are truthful, j whose word, indeed, as good as their bond. There never was a time or ocia- J sion wheadish.'nt itv wis justifiable. If your employer, your business Associates, and your friends know you to be honest, they will respect yoa, and they wiil be jlad to do business with yea. If they know you to be dishonest, they wil! shun yoa. Dishonesty is the first down warl step in many a boy's career. Never Ukd anything that does not belong to you, no matter hew iiisiuiacant. Be polite. It is an evidence of good breeding, and reflects credit upon your father and mother. The gentlemanly boy, the lad who if not gruff cr surlv, one who does cot use profane or indecent language, has a much better chance of obtaining employ merit, and keeping Lis place, than one who is rou-h, ill-mannered, profane and disrespectful. Be courte ous onder all tirca.xrtances ; agreeable, manly, straightforward ia your conversa tion. Cultivate a sunny disposition, and you will find year days pass much more agreeably aad yoar society will be more sought after. I!ememb. r under ail cir cumstances to n-srect a-e. No matter what the condition, you cannot afford to be disrespectful to your eiders. Ion't be afraid of work ; it is the on'y road to success ; work ir.ceseantly ; what ever j"i do, do it as jreil as you know how. Icu't be afraid cf soiling your ban Is ; work is honorable, no matter how lo!y. You caaaot -ret t n in the world ucle? you work. Try andgire your employer one hundred aad fifty per cent, for every dollar you receive from him. Do not shirk anything ; do not be in a hurry to get away on tbe ex act stroke of the clock. Be patient ; to morrow will be another day ; if yea are faithful, painstakin; anj watchful of your employer's interest, have no fear that he will not know of it, for boys who ol'serve this rale are rare, and promotion will surely come if yoa bat work and wait. 1 atiecce and work are the Hand maidens Of 1CCI"9. Why not learn a trade? The mA-ter of a good trade is better equipped for the stra -le of life than the young man who is too proal to soil his haais by hand ling tools. Ail boys should be made to it-ara trades. It was the custom of kingt, once upon a time, to see to it that not only their sons, but their daughters, also, were taught trades, ar some useful occu pation. Oris of the necessities of the times is for better facilities for industrial education. By ail means learn a trad, boys. It will be of service to yoa in af ter life. I coald name scores of success ful men of to-lay, who were printers, engravers, telegraph operators, or mem bers of some other useful craft Be neat in your appareL Men do not like boys who are slovenly in their at tire.
