-"LEr,S:PLAY"
,
'Oh 1 the blei3seo 'and wise little children,
What sensible thino they say '1"
When
,they can't have the things they wish
• tor, ,
They;take others and cry "LeVs pltiyP
"Let's play" that the chairs are big coaches
And the sofa a, railroad ear,
.And that we are all taking journeys
And traveling ever so far.
"Let's play" that, this broken old ?Anna, •
Is a dinner set rare and fine, •
And our tea cups filled with water, •
Are goblets of milk, and wine.
"Let's play" every one of our dollies,,
Is alive and can go to walk,
And - keep up long conversations
With uS, if we want to talk.
"Let's play" that we live in 'a palace ;
And that ,we are, the queens and kings
"Let's play", we are birds in a tree top,
•
And can fly about on wings.
"Let's play that , we are school-keepers,
And grown people come to onr school
And punish them all; most soundly
•
It they break but a single rule.
'Oh 1' the blessed and wise little children,
' ;What sensible things they say ;-
Aid we might be happy as they are,
• • If we would be happAbeir way.
•
What odds 'twlat not having and having,
When we have lived out our,day
Let's borrow the-ehildien's watchword—
The magical watchword; "Let's.
• play."
Alt:stirly, March you've come again,
With *et and snow, and hail and rain
Cold earth beneath, dark sky Above you,
What have you,. pray, to make us love you ?
No month is halt so rough as you.
',December winds less harshly blew
What churlish ways I what storm-tossed
tresses ! '
Your presence every one. distresses I
.Haste, haste away ! We longing wait
To greet fair April• at our gate. .
Cold earth beneath, dark sky above you,
Surely you've naught to make us love you ?
•
"Ah, see these blossoms !" he replied,
Tossitig his hail-torn cloak aside,:—
"Though other months have flowers a-many,
• Say, are not mine as fair as any ?
See, peeping from each dusky fold,
The crocus with its cup of gold ;
Artoiets, snowdrops. white and stilly,
Sweeter than any summer lily ;
' And underneath the old oak-leaves
2 Her !Vagrant wreath the arbutus weaves,—
Whatever sky may be above me,
Surely tor Map all hearts will love me !"

YOUNG MEN7S'MISTAKES
BY-REV. JOHN, HALL, D. D„ N. Y.
"The times, are hard." Employment is less
abundant and less remunerative than it - has
been. - That has come which was often predict
' ed; and men. finding, their means a third less
thin 'they passed , for, are , contracting - outlays,
and the consequent disturbance in the money
centres is great, and is widely felt. Toung
men -having been drawn in great. 'numbers to
theie money-centres by the hope of, rapid
money-making, feet, the stringency more than
some other classes
.; and among them the most
helpless are those ivho tan "take anything,"
They have no specialty. Being possessed of a
"good common eduCation," in times when labor
was much wanted they: were borne with. But
there LS no one thing in which 'they are ex-
perts. and the supply is large, consequently
tkex are left R ithout employment'.
This condition of things suggests . a frank,
and at least well hosed who
intended wor, to t
.
ao_coming into the ranks of ruing men. •
.1; Do not trust to generuZittes. You bad bet
ter have a specialty. Learn something that
you can do —and , profess. Something distinct
matter what- r -is hotter than an ordinary
general capacity. to.."turn a hand to anything."
It' is a great pity that well-paid trades are at' a
_discount with A meri6an young men. French
and German skilled workmen get often - twice
thops.y that clerks and salesmin are obtaining.
have not harder work, and have just es good
a chance to rise to betn, empjoyers and mas
teri, at the last: Every employer knows:bow
hard it is to get good workmen ; every house
. holder knows how "jobs" are poorly done, and
how often they have to lament the detective
ability of the carpenter, plumber, or upholiter.
It is possible to niakeway in these departmenta
by thoroughness, and the cost of living is not
made so great by social requirPtionts to the
gond tradesman , as to the poor clerk., -Dress
alone makes a wide di ff erence in their respec
tive outlays. -
'.2. Do not rush to the great : cities, , The town
next You, if you wish'to -go- forward, may be
the, testforyou. It is your •Parent's'market
town, perhaps. Some of the people know YOU
or them and living among"theM - yea have in
ducement and encouragement to well-doing in
that, fact. Poor bumtui nature is so weak that
t needs to be "shored up" to the utmost, and a
youth is strongly tempted in a great city where
hedeen say, to / himself:`. "l' may dol as I . like
here=nohody -knows me." Hardly any -
suc
cess`;isgreatervormore real and satisfying, than
the success of , s. man Who- begins in his own
,
ceinity,'krows with the growth of, a town or a
village and who has thousands 'of People—
. neighbors—who are, proud of him - And of his
success, and shares the, joy of it, as they say 'to
fine another "We knew him trom the start,.
'and hedeserved to sUcOeed." Such alum can
bp great in a county,,when if in . New York you
wbuldnot know his house from ten thousand
other-houses, nor himself, as he squeezes into' a
street car, from. ten, thousand other Men. can
n.tiy ping be Auer than the life of a man who
makes `his: steady, honest way 4E1164 those

little,and which they are tempted to break out

Some are encumbered by habits. Little things
trifling as snow - fiactes were done, and done,
so often, that they have become habitspi like .
snow-banks, and their removal is no easy: mat

have a pission for cards, or they talk slang. or

crosses and anchors when, a boy. and when he
is a man and a gentleman, cannot get r , id of

wanted finer clothes or so thing else; and
borrowed ; and they never saw how to repay,.
and innumerable subterfuges, and "white lies,"
and very blaelt lies lie in their way, and they
cannot look their creditor in the faded Go
forth, if you are to go, free. i '
But it, may be the bravest thing not to . go.
"I get two , and a half a day," said a young
man. to the writer. "And do you save some
thing ?" "No : I have a tather and a moth&
,—father is over seventy, and can't do anything
and it takes it all to keep the house." ,That
was his modest, manly way of saying that he
stayed at home, worked fifteen hours 'a day, and
supported them. They sic, not encumbrances
such as are mentioned above. When Godgives
young men suchdinties and they become heroes
in the doing of thern, '
be sure they get it all
back in time from, Him—in kind or kindnass:
4. Never fall bad on "I did not
,think of it."
For what ia your mind, pray ?You go to the
city, with 'an' introduction to a clergyman, or
other friend, which you carry -in your pocket
for nine months, when its age is proclaimed by
other tokens than its date. Is he likely . ..to think
well of you ? "Why, he might have been in
i
r
state's. prison since this was given. He C red
nothing for up, and only comes now wh, ' he 1
Is in some trouble." Is not that the ne t al
reflection' in the 'clergyman, or in . any ;man.
When poor mothers want to tell the truth about
their sons, but not harshly, instead of :1 "He
never goes to church ; he drinks ; he is 'never
home in the evenings," they say he ia"thotight
leis." Do not be "thoughtless'in this sense.
A young luau in a great city who doeS "not
"keep SuLday," is nearly sure to be ruined.
He has twelve hours with nothing to do but
what the devil oilers him. His room perhaps'
is dill'. So is the society of his boarding house.,
There are places , of. which he soon
,heara. that
`are "joll y;" his conscience is torpid; and he,
goes; .alas ! for the tears of sisters and the bro
ken heart of a mother : he goes '
to ruin 1 : '
Be thoughtful. Why, my, dear fellow, how
much is there to think of—your home lesSonsL—
the examples you saw—the hopes for yon—the ,
holies you have had for yourself—the duties
you undertook—the dangers of 'which ,you
were warned—the , God =who made yon--the
SaViour : who died ' for yOu—who loves you—
but who, if you' spurn his love,will resent it all
the more because ybu once knew bettei—the
future before you—here, and the illimitable be , .
yond—oh I think of all these, and, if yon will;
keen as,is the competition,, ,and hard and long
as the struggle may be, there , is no fear 44 your
failing' in the end. ,

WHY RICHMOND WAS BURNED.

to purify the blood, and thereby restore the health.
VEGETINE
Is now prescribed incases_of Scrofula and- other dis
eases of the blood, by many of the best physicians tow
ing to its great success in curing all diseases of thib
nature.
VEGETINE
Does not deceive invalids into , false hopes by purging
and creating a fictitious appetite, but assists nature in
clearing aed purifying the whole system. , leading the
patient gradually to perfect health.
VEGETINE
Wan looked upon as en experiment for some time by
some of oar best physicians, but thosemost incredu
lous in regard to its merit are now its most ardent
friends and supporters.
• VEGETINE
Says a Boston Physician, "has no equal as a blood pu
rifier. Hearing of its many wonderful cares, after all
other remedies had railed, I visited the laboratory and
Convinced myself of its genuine merit; It is prepared
from barks, roots and herbs. each of which is highly
effective. and they are compounded in such a manner as
to produce astonishing results."
VEGETINE • • ,
Is acknowledged and recommended by physicians and
apothecaries to ho the best purifier and cleanser of the
blood yet. discovered, and thousands speak in its praise
who have been restored to health. '
