EARLY SPRING EXPERIENCE.
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

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

much in a boy's favor.
