If bred In the country and ita seek tho life of the town, he will very rmiy uiituln an Idea rf his IiiHlgnilleano.-. Tins Is a critical period In his history. The re suit of his reasoning will decide his fate. If, at this titno. he thoroughly contprc hend and In his soul admit and accept, the fact that he knows nothing and Is nothing; if ho bow to tho conviction that his mind and person are but ciphers, and that whatever ho Is to bo, and Is to win, must bo achieved by hard work, there Is abundant hopj for htm. If, on tho contrary, a huge self-conceit still hold possession of him, and ho straighten stiffly up to the assertion of hie old and vulueless self or if ho sink discouraged upon the threshold of a life of fierce competitions, and more manly emulations, he might as well be dead. The world has no use for such a man and he can only retire to be trodden upon. When a young man has thoroughly comprehended the fact that he knows nothing, and that. Intrinsically, he is of but little value, the next thing for him to learn Is that tho world cares nothing for him that he Is tho subject of no man's overwhelming adoration and es teem that he must take caru of him self. If he be a stranger, ho will lind every man busy with his own affairs, and none to look after him. He will not be no tlced until he becomes notlcable and ho will not become noticeable until ho does something to prove that he has an abso lute value in society. No letter of rec ommendation will give him this, or ought td give him this. No family connection will give him this, except among thoso fe-j who think more of blood than briii I Society not iply demands that a young laan shall b somehtlv. but )that be shall prove his right to the title; and it has a right to demand this. Society will not take this matter upon trust at least, not for a long time: for it nas Deen cneatea too frequently. Society Is not very particular what a man does, so that it prove him to bo man; then It wiv bow to him aiid make room for hi,. There is no surer sign of an unmanly and cowardly spirit than a vague desire for help a wish to dopend. to loan upon somebody and enjoy the fruits of the industry of others. There are mul titudes of young men who Indulge In dreams' of help from some quarter, com lug In at a convenient moment, to ena- wJ them to secure the success In life b they covet. The vision haunts jn of some benevolent old gentleman, rrn4i a pocket full of money, a trunk C full of mortgages and stocks, and a I mind remarkably appreciative of merit and genius, who will' "erhaps, give or Jena tnem irotn ten to enty thousand dollars,' with which .ley will com mence, and go on swimmingly. Now, boys and girls, we havo filled our allotted space for this week and will leave you to carefully read and ponder over the above until our next issue when we will give you the remain der of this subject. Study it thorough ly and weigh well the golden truths contained therein. It applies to you nil, both nephews and nlecos. BBOOND MONTH. m -s . Principal's Report. 5 - s 3 r 5 3e 3& Boom 14, N. B.

Only these who havo lived In a small town can realize the power and fascina tion of tho homo paper. It occupies a pluee that no other publication can fill. The homo nowxpnor comes first, al ways. Every body looks through every column to seo If his or her "name Is In tho paper." Kach bit of local gossip Is read and discussed. Sometimes it is a birth, sometimes a dentil, sometimes a macrlage. No mutter what It Is, every name mentioned is familiar to all, and for this one reason alone the homo pa per is prized above and beyond any thing the "literary fellows" In tho cities can produce. It doesn't take it very great while to read the news In the homo papers; there's time to read tho advertisements, and the advertisements are read, just tho samo as is the news. Every busi ness man in every town where a papjr la printed should bo represented In thai paper. If he Is not It Is he, not the publisher of the paper, who Is the loser. Tht Country I'uMiiAer. A Practical Ptoject. Tho Saw rant Coal Mining Company pooplo are about to plot out their entire proK-rty, consisting of ton thousand acres of land, into smalt furras, and pro pose to sell them to t heir employees at a cost of about two dollars an acre. They will also, to desirable persons, fur nish tho necessary material on time for their buildings, where tho purchaser Is unable to furnish tho same themselves. The Shawmul company will also furnish labor to the people purchasing the farms. Thus people of small or no means are given an opportunity to securo a home at a nominal cost. The land consists of principally hardwood timber and will be. when cultivated, tho most fertile and productive of any In Bilk county. This, besides being a fortunato transac tion for the people who locate upon tho lands, will bo a benefit to the wholo community, materially Increasing tho population and prosperity of Elk county. Brockwuyvllle Record. A Few Questions. Ono of our exchanges propounds the following: "You can any day seo a white horse, why do you nover see a white colt? Why docs a horse eat grass backward and a cow forward ? 'Why does a hop vino always wind on way and a bean vine another? Where should the inside of a chimney be the bigger, at tho top or the bottom, and why? Can you tell why a horse tethered with a rope always unravels It, while a cow twlsu It Into knots? Why do loaves turn upside down before rain? What li the length of a flour barrel? What animals have no upper teeth in front, and why ? "Into the oow lot bright and gay the milk maid hustles from day to day, and gathers the lacteal fluid white, while the morning sun is yet out of sight. Hot winds may blow and grasshoppers bop, and the bugs and blizzards may gather their crop, but as long as the stream of milk don't stop, the cow and the milkmaid will come out on top." Ex. An exchange says: The oyster and the strawberry have each borne their share in evangelizing the world. They havo built more churchos, paid the sal aries of more ministers and helped more heathen than any other two natural agencies.
