The on: thoua!itth;itroines
ito t ha mind of t he old man
when lie j pinks to the youil
t Iiit: Oh, that il were pos
sible to make them know how
precious are tin: hours, how
fraught with couKcquences of
inrnlci.il able importance, that
now fill up each and every
day f their comparatively
easy lives. I would not .ask
you to relax your attention
to the games that till up
your leisare hours; but I say,
let every one, with the Ham
energy with which he plays
cricked or football, with the
same energy with which he
applies himself to leaping or
running, or to any exercise
whatever of his corporal pow
eisand he wants very lit tit
exhortation, so far as my ex
perience goes, to be energe tic
with t hat port ion of his du-ti.-M
let him cany the very
same spirit into the work
which is intended to develop
his iiiMilal faculties. Theex
tentiou of government em
ployments has given an enor
nions enlargement, to what,
may he called the official
classesin fact, there is o
much l.irger number of pro
I'essionals competing now
than competed together in
the days when I came into
this world; hut, depend upon
it, the piofession of the cl r
gy man, it it be more arduous
tn.in it has ever been, is on
that account, nobler than it
has ever been.- -William K.

table of n fishmunger. Walk

key placed his nose within an
inch of the "f-peckled beau

soundness through the medi
um of his olfactories.
The keeper of the stand ey
ed him with considerable in
terest and contempt for his
impertinence for halt a min
ute, and in a tone of eanger
said:
"What in the devil are .you
a-smellin' o' them fish for,
you black ape?"
"I ainC smellin' o' de fish,

'I jes' ax 'um what's de

"What did they say?"
"Dey say dey don' know,
