Some time since, a gentleman, whom we will call Mr. A., purchased a piece of ground on which was an old building, which he pro ceeded to tear down, intending to replace it with a building more suitable for the trans. action of his business About the same tithe another gentleman, whom we shall call Mr. B , purchased the adjoining lot and proceed. ed in the same manner to take down the old building standing upon it, so that the new work of demolition commenced at the same time . After this had been concluded, Mr A. being ready to build himself, and sup• posing quite naturally that his neighbor would proferbuildiog at the same time, paid him a visit in relation to the matter, when he was boorishly informed by Mr. 8., that he should build 'when he pleased' 01' course as 31r. A. could not gainsay his right in this respect, the only method left for him was to goon by himselt. This he according ly 'did, and had progressed so far as to have his building 'covered in,' when he was sur prised one day by a visit from his irate neigh bor. 'Sir,' says Mr B, 'you are an inch on my ground.' Mr. A., rejoined that he thought it must be a mistake. 'No, sir, it is no mistake—you aro an inch on my ground.' 'Well,' returned Mr. A., 'all I can say is, if it is so, I am very sorry, and it is altogeth er unintentional: but I am willing to pay you whatever you say the laud is worth. I want no pay sir,' answered Mr 8., I want my land' 'Sir,' says Mr. A., it seems hopeless to attempt to compromise this matter with you, but 1 will pay you double whatever you say the laud is worth rather than take down my wall' 'I want no money—l want my land,' per. Mated stubborn. Mr. B Argument and en• treaty were alike unavailing, and Mr. A., ac cordingly proceeded to take down and re build his wall. • He was permitted to finish his building now without further interruption. - Shortly afterward Mr. B , concluded to build on his lot, and masons and carpenters were set at work to accomplish the object. The work progressed finely—story after story went up as if by magic; and our friend Mr. 8., watched the operations day by day with increasing interest, with' confident an ticipation of being able to occupy the prem ises by a certain period. At leng th the building was entirely finished from founda tion to capstones—the workmen bad depart. ed with their tools —the rubbish was cleared awayr—and Mr. B. was complacently. Co ngratulating himsel f its successful comple tion when he was astonished by a visit from his neighbor, Mr. A 'Sir,' said be, I am sorry to inform you that you are an inch on wy ground.' 'Pooh, nenseoce,' returned Mr. B. • 'lt's no nenseoce'at all, 'said Mr. A , 'I tell you that you are an inch oo my ground.' 'Why, bow can that be ?' blustered Mr. 8., 'when I only built up to your wall ?' 'Ah, that's it! in the dryest manner pea Bible answered Mr A. Our friend,'Mr 8., was somewhat .dumb• founded - - lend - for ausvoyor;siir; at length he exploded, 'sod :we'll see about this.',.

It is perhaps, unnecessary to explaihto, the reader: that, Mr. A., had done the same thing when he was compelled to rebuild. A Thought for Young Man All thinkers and careful observers have _noticed the gradual and-very stroug-tendon- 7 ey of some business men, and especially our young men, to a restless disposition. There are many causes, for this. In' common with _the_rapid-Intirch' of eveats, inflation has pui sued its course, invading-not only the walks of commerce, but It a s permeated almost the entire mental range of the striving mil lions. The rush kr riches may have abated somewhat within the past few moothir, yet the unsatisfied thirst exhibits itself and surg es :to-and-fa o-at-t he-toere tiara! ion-or - pos. slide hope of obtaining a fortune. • Not the least feature of this deplorable mental ex eiti--”eor; The 0- 'd necessity tewent ts the assume , wealth immediately All substantial fortunes are obtained by dint of patience and the power of system nod reasonable economy ; the result of ever ; gy coolly and judiciously applied. Band. reds are looking forward t o the coming spring, definitely or indefinitely, for grand developments, oti some' new hue of enter• prise, at all events to a-change suggestive of more 'material aid.' That which is doing well or reasonably, is not satisfactory . The brain is heated, while cupidity rues riot with its crazed The wheel may have to be reversed to cheek this unreasonable phase of human nature— then comes both mental and tnaterial depres sion Let it be borne in mind that the most solid success comes from solid labor. Young wan be cheerful, and thank God for the trlosin gs-you-tra-v e-p ruden and - patient, and cultivate that calmness and deliberation which foreshadows power and guarantees future success. SALT LAKE Ctn.—Coming down through 'Parley's Canon' and out upon the 'fo it hills' of the 'Twin Peak's,' which tower 11,000 feet above us, to the south-east orSali Lake Gitv, the view is one of unparalleled beauty; at least upon the 'over land route.' Far as the eye can reach, stretches the fertile valley of the Great Salt Lake, bounded upon all sides by snow-capped mountains, and the lake itself, a miniature ocelitii, gleaming like burnished silver, lies apparently beneath our very feet. We are misled as to the distance, in all these mountain regionsiby the purity and clearness of the atmosphere. The lake is fully twenty-five miles distant. Camp Disiglass, the flag of which is plainly visible, seems only a mile or so in advance ; but it is a good hour's ride from us. Passing the river Jordan, we soon entered the city, which we find to be located upon an inclined plateau, near the base of a mountain known as 'En sign Peak.' The streets cross each other at right angles, are 'very wide, well shaded, and a stream of clear sparkling water, fresh from the mountains, dances and gurgles on either side of the way. This water is conveyed through all the •principal streets in the city and is used for every necessary purpose, though , that of ir rigation is the principal. The 'blocks' em brace an area of ten acres, Subdivided into lots of an acre and a quarter each The building material is chiefly sun driod bricks, called abode, but there are many fine busi ness houses built of stone The offices of Wells, Fargo & Co. are perhaps the fioest in the city. A MORAL ACTUALITY.— Students of his tory and close observers of individual char. attar are continually impressed with the pro found practical truth embodied in the utter aucee of tht Biblical patriarchs and apostles, not to mention the precepts laid down by the Saviour himself or communicated to Israel by divine authority One homely sentence that we now recall contains a wisdom deeper than, sehools a'jJ courts and c.bineta;. nay, than all the combinations, public and private, of men for any other than pure purposes: 'Pride goeth before destruction, and a haugh ty spirit before a fell.' How the annals of mankind, in great and in small things alike, daily illustrate the force of this reflection What monarch upon a despotic throne; what cruel conqueror at the head of a victorious army; what cunning diplomatist perverting truth to serve some momentary ambition , what corrupt magistrate trampling justice under tout with fancied fret unity; what society or conspiring league of men aiming at the bread or the blood of the innocent, has escaped some terrifio blow falling in the very hour of their perfected schemes !

CURIOUS COMPUTATION.—The Paris Pattie says:—‘The celebrated phrase of den. eral Foy will probably be temembered ; ho said from the tribune of the Chamber of Deputies on the occasion of the bill for grant ing an indemnity of a thousand millions of franca to the French emigres : 'Do you know that an equal number of minutes has not elapsed eince•the birth of Jesus Christ r Although those words were pronounced near•' ly 3 half a century ago, we have not even yet attained the amount. On the twenty fifth of December•next, calculating twenty bissextile yearsin every hundred, there will only 'have passed 982,368,000 minutes since the birth of our Saviour. A twelve month contains 622,600, so that we shall 'have to wait thirty years before reaching this !anions will only be completed in 1898.

Having himself no knowledge of the subjects he pretended to teach, he could communicate none to his pupil's, nor could be, do more than assign tasks in the text-books and see that these were committed to memory: Strange lad as it may now:appear,' it' detis not seem fo have entered the winds of. those who had this con trol of the education of the young, of those days, that in all the pursuits of life, ,other faculties than the memory are also caled ha lo exercise, and that, therefore, one •of the prieeiple objects of the training of the schools should be, to cultivate audstrengthen these. The object Of education was the acquisition of knowledge , The winds of the pupils were to be filled with facts very much like a bag is filled with corn or wheat; and be who could - contain - the largest quantity or whose memory was the most retentive,' received all the honors." andl y was considered the best scholar. The evident infeiende from this method of teaching is, that the mental atom achs.of the educated of those, days were un usually large, but, judging from crania still in existence, the contrary appears nearer in_ accordance with the truth. The memory of an educated man should have been a giant compared with his other intellectual powers, on the contrary however, though inainethod. ically urged and strained, it was as tread) erous as at the present time, and muchmore of a dwarf. Indeed the memories of the children attending school, being constantly taxed with, what seemed to hem, us it really was, useless tasks. instead of becoming more retentive, became less so, on account of being continually wearied with unprofitable labor. All that was contained in the text-books of those days, was of such an ancient and sn ored character, that to examine it in the light of reason, would have been next 'to sac rilege, and hence no teacher thought of attempting it or o f teaching his pupils to do so. Whether it was at all sup posed that pupils could learn to understand what they 'studied, appears doubtful, as no attempt , was made in that direction.' 'Pupils received ever) tiring at second hand. Instead of studying the subjects themselves, they wasted their time to learning the views of the authors of the text-books, who were looked upon,.by both them and the teachers, as.gods, from whose decisions there could be no appeal. As everything seemed too ob atruse (?) to be understood, it was learned . by rules. Every problem in arithmetic was solved by the rule laid down by the author of the books. And if any one questioned the utility of this blindeess, be was readily met with the'question, 'lf the author does his sums by his mho, why should the teach ers and echelon, not do the same?' or 'What are these ruleS for, or why were they put in to the books, if they ate not to be followed ?' Such arguments as these, were, of course, unanswerable (?), and he who was so stupid (?) as.merely to suggest the probability that common sense could be made available in the solulproblems, when met with such pow ) arguments as these, was obliged to hide his lace for shame. 'ln this way the study of arithmetic be came littic - morethau learning by rote a set of atbitrary • and useless rules; and he who could apply those rules most dexterously in producing results, .or, could repeat the largest number of them in the shortest time, was th e most expert arithmeticiao. He thought no more of reasoning upon the prob lems or studying priociplcs,.than the ,clown does of studying the-intern il structure of his watch.. He looked only the way the hands pointed. .. • If a papa bad obtained the 'answer' to a 'sum,' both, he mud the teacher were-perfect ly satisfied; nothing More Woe' desired, though the pupil understobtl absolately acitli ing.ahout the nolutiop:e4cepthow to apply the v ittle'to obtain the -pu pils' generally' avert: itt attired pr:nifina merit than theleaohers; for thescithemiselves•cOuld give, no betterleason for scything ‘thsu.siat rly that the !hook said so.'
