'Tis wondrous strange how great the change
Since I was in my teens,

Because Pm twenty-five.

But now, alas I if I am ill,
None cares that I revive ;
And .ny pale cheek in vain may speak,
Because I'm twenty-five.
Now, if a ride improves.tny side,
I'm forced to take the stage;
For that is deemed quite proper for

Do it Well
Whatever you do, do it well. A job
slighted, because it is apparently unim
portant, leads to habitual neglect, so
that men degenerate, insensibly, into
bad workmen.
" That is a good, rough job," said a
foreman in our hearing, recently, and
he meant that it was a piece of work,
not excellent in itself, but strongly made
and well put together.
Training the head and eye to-do work
well, leads individuals to form correct
habits in other respects, and a good
workman is, in most cases, a good citi
zen. No one need hope to rise abov.

I love the man whose honest heart
Will bravely dare and bravely do ;
Who will not act the coward's part,
'But, strong in right, will right pursue,
Whose knee bends never at the nod
Of titled pomp or royal power,
But bows alone before his God,
With hope hie crown and love his
dower,
Who dares to face a world of scorn,
And dares a brother's hand to span,
Though' dark the skin and rough the
form,
If yet that brother be a man ;
Who strikes where'er a wrong is found,
And brands a tyrant to his face ;
Nor courts applause, an empty sound,
But firmly treads in virtue's traces.
Such are the men who've stemmed the
tid4r; •
Who 'clove the way through giant
wrong,
And fought triumphant side by side,
'Mid perils seen and troubles long;
Their martyred forms are richly strewn,
On many an ancient field of erime
But seeds of truth they've widely sown,
To blossom rich in coming time.
Ainid those armies of the dead,
Whose legions pale and silent lie,
Their lives a passing fragrance shed,
Their names immortal ne'er shall die.
STOPPING THE SQUEAI{.-Dr. Still, the
noted physician, says that he was going
down the Mississippi, some years since,
on a steamer whose engines was upon
deck, he sauntered in that - vicinity to
observe the working of the machinery.
Near by stood a man apparently bent
upon the same object. In a few mo
ments a squeaking noise was heard on
the opposite side of the engine. Seiz
ing, the oil ma (a gigantic one, by the
way,) the engineer sought out the dry
spot, and, to prevent further noise of
that kin], liberally applied the contents
of his can to every joint. Ali went well
for a while, when the same squeaking
was heard in another direction. The
oiling proeess was repeated, and quiet
again restored ; but, as the engineer was
coming quietly around to the spot occu_
pied by the doctor and the stranger, he
heard another eqtreak. This time he
detected fife trireScause of the difficulty.
The stranger was a ventriloquisi.
• Walking directly up behind: him, he
seized the astonished joker by the back
of the neck, and emptied the contents
of the can down his spine, saying,—
" There I I don't believe that' old en
gine will'squeak again."
SALT, YOUR CHIMNEYS. —ln building a
chimney, put a-quantity of salt into the
mortar with which the intercourses of

TRUE COURAGE.
The Best Fun
" Now, 'bilis, 111 tell you bow we can
have some fun," said Freddie B --, to
his companions, who had assembled on
&beautiful moonlight evening, for' slid
ing, snow-balling, and fun generally,
" How?" " Where ?" What is it?"
asked several eager voices all at once.
"I heard widow:Al—jell a man a
little while ago," replied Freddie, "that
she would go over and sit up with a sick
child to-night. She said she would be
over about eight o'clock. Now, as soon
as she is gone, let's go and make a big
snow-man on her eoor-step, so that when
she comes back in the morning she can
not get into her house, without first
knocking him over."
" Capital I" "First-rate I" " Boors !"
shouted some of the boys..
"See here," said Charlie N—, "I'll
tell , you the best fan."'
"What is it ?" again :inquired several
voices at once.
"Wait a while," said Charlie. `'Who
has got a wood saw 7"
"I have." "So have I." "And I,"
answered three of the boys. "But what
in the world do.you want with a wood
saw 7"
"You shall see," replied Charlie. "It
is almost eight o'clock now, so go and
get your saws. You Freddie and Nath
an, each go and get an axe, and - I Will
get a shovel. Let us all be back here
in fifteen minutes, and I'll show you the
-fun."
The boys separated to go on their sev
eral errands, each wondering what the
fun could be, and what possible use
could be made or wood-saws and axes in
their play. But Charlie was nut only a
great favorite with them all, bat also an
acknowledged leader,
.and they fully be
lieved in him and in his promise. Their
curiosity gave elasticity to their steps,
and they were soon , aseembled.
" Now," saidtCharlie. " Mrs. M
is gone, for I met her-when I was com
ing back, so let's be off at once."
"But what are you going to do 2" in
quired several impatient membera of the
party.
"You shall see directly," replied the
leader, as they. approached the humble
residence of Mrs.
"Now, boys," said Charlie, "you see
that pile of wood; a man hauled it here
this'afternoon, and I heard Mrs. M—
tell-him that unless she got some one to
saw it to-night she would ' , have' hardly
anything to make a fire of in the morn
ing. Now we can saw and split that
pile of wood just about as easy as we
could build a snow man and when Mrs,
comes home 'from her watching,.
.she will be -full as much surprised to
,find her wood sawed; as she would to
find a snow man on her doorsteps, and a
great deal-more - pleasantly, too. What
say you Y Will you do iii"
One or two of the boys rather demurr
ad at, first. They didn't like to saw
wood, they said. But the majority were
in favor of Charley's project, so they
, with a a
finally joined in, and went work with
will.
" I'll go around to the - back of the
shed," said Charlie, "and crawl through
the window and unfasten the 'door.
Then we'll take turns in sawing, splitting
and carrying "in the' wood ; and I.' want
to pile it up real nice, and to shovel all
the snow away from the door; and a
good wide path; too, !rim the door to
the 'street—won't it be *fon, when she
coMes,honie arid sees it? '
The boys began' to Appreciate the fun,
for they felt , they, were doing a- good
deed,. and individually experienced that
self-satisfaction andjoy , which always re.
sults from well doing.
It was not a long or wearisome job,
for seven robust and healthy boys, to
saw, split ,and pile tip,tho poor widow's
half cord of wood, 4 1 : 1 4 to shovel a good
path. " And when itwas done, so great
was their pleasure and satisfaction, that
one, of the boys who objebted to work at
first, proposed thit they should ge to a
neighboring carpenter's shop—where
plenty of shavings could be had for the
carrying away—and each bring an arm
ful of kindling wood. The proposition
was readily acceded to, and, this done;
they repaireirto •their several homes, all

WHAT IS WORTH DOING AT ALL IS WORTH
DOING WELL.
The - tenoning reasonable hints to
business men, in relation to the " art of
advertishig;' are' just as • true • here as
elsewhere :
Advertising is an art, and that it is
one that Pays, let the thousands in this
country who have grown rich by it, an
swer. We do'not say-that no man who
has not properly advertised has prosper
ed in business, but we do say that it is a
rare case where any business might not
hive been greatly augmented by a judi
clone use of " printer's ink."
What is advertising ? The art of
making your wares known. Giving pub
lieity to your business. Yon have your
wares, others have wants. It is your
interest to fillthe wants with the wares
—to bring producer and consumer,
tradesmen and purchaser, together.
This is what signs are for, tastefully ar
ranged store windows and the like.
They are to captivate the eye. The eye
is the sentinel of the will. Capture the
sentinel and you carry the will. Im
press the senses and yon move the choite.
The feet follow the eyes. See how they
pause at the shop window, and how they
coves what is in it. Some of them step
in to inquire the price; others step in
and buy, not because they need the arti
cle, but because they had the• money
about them, and because the winning
window won it away from them.
This is what an advertiser assaults,
Brat and last of all, the eyes. It is in
vein to reason with your customers.
Customers do not reason, do not arrive
at a purchase by the slow method of
military "approaches," impelled by an
elaborate ratiocination, but carry the
coveted commodity by a sudden assault,
pricked tip' tit It by the indotnitable bay
onets of the artists in' advertising.
It is this 'untiring, unremitting, ever-
lasting, never-take-for-an-answer appeal
to the eyes of the people who want their
hair to grow, by the people who have
something for sale which they say will
make the hair grow, that carries the day
splatters the hair tonics over inflamer
able-scalps, and puts fortunes in the
bank to the credit of the,advertiserl
This is the way to do it. Have a
good article, an article that will do good
and then stick it at them. Hit them in
the face with,, it, slash them over the
eyes with it. This is the art o of adver
tising. Say you have a hat—a good hat
—a hat that is worth having. on'lany
body's head. Well, put it on every
body's head, You can do it by advertis
lag it. Other hatters may make a liv
ing, you shall make a fortune—by ad
vertising ! In all New York - there ie
only one hatter. In Philadelphiwthere
are imposing piles of brownstone owned
by Dr. Jayne. They are built oat of
advertising., In New York there is a
huge pile on Broadway, worth its weight
in gold, and an acre of ground of fabu
lous costliness, the property of Dr.
Hrandreth. All of it goes to the credit
of advertising. Brandreth's pills are
household words—because - Brandreth
was , an adept in advertising—only this
and nothing more. There is proof on
every hand, then, and there is Mom in
advertising. :BuLit-aan only ,he got out
.by "pegging away," The first and chief
and almost the only, qualification , for a
successful advertieer is pertinacity.: To
be the only hatter in town you have only
to say you are, somewhere where:people
see you say it, To have the only . hair
tonic, or pill, or bitters`that the pkrple
need, you have only to poke their eyes
with the assertion that you have.'
There is only here and there one , in
any branch of money making that looms
up and fills the public eye, and monopo-
lizes the public purse. These are they
who understand the art -of advertising,
and appreciate the indisimtable fact
that the way to make money-out of ad.
vertising is to
,stick to it. -
To make advertising pay, it mist be
stuck to with all the4eitinacity that le
indispensable.to success in the prosecu
tion of every other art. There are some
men in :this country,-who spend fifty
