He bad many things to difcourige hira.' Trouble thickened al oot bia ' lite. He wsa misrepre'Dted and minunderntood. Krerybod bolieved that ho was a good man, but no one ever said a kindly or plcanant thing to him. Ha never heard a compliment, scarcely ever a good wish. No one ever took oy pain to encourage him, to etrengthen his fceblo knec, to lighten hi burden, or to lift np hi heart by a trentle doed of love, or by a cheerful word. He wa neglected. Unkind thing wet olten Mid ol bini. I (tood at hi coffin, and then there were inooj tongue to tpeak hi praise. There wa nut a breath of aopeuion in the air. .Men epoka of eelf-dcnialo of hi work among the poor, of hi good qualitie. of his quielnee. hi modeety. bis human ity, Li pureuck of heart, bi faith and prayer. There were many who -poke in uignautlr of tho charge ibat falsehood had forged nciir.it hint in pas years, and of tbe treatment he had received. There were enough Lind things eaid during the two or three day that be lay in tbe eoffio. and while the coinpsny atnod around hi open grave, to Lav bleared him and made him happy all hi Cfty years, and to Lave thrown wetnes and joy about bi foul during all hi painful aod weary journey. Tbera waieooogh sunahioe wanted about the black cofiio and dark grave to have made hi whole life-path bright clearest day. Hut bi ear were cloed tben. and could not hear a Word that wa t-poken. Hi heart was still then, and could not be thrilled by tbe grateful aouuds. He cared nothing then for the aweet (lower that were piled upon LU coffin. , The love blos somed out too late. The kindnet came when tie Ufa could not recti e iu llea ainga. ; ! , " Hut meantime there t a great Lott of weary men and women toiling through life toward the grave, who need cheering word and helpful tuinietriea. Tbe incense ia gathering to scatter about their cvSns ; but why fbould it not be featured in their path to-day? Tbe kind word are lying lb men'e heart and trembling on tbeir toognea, which will be spoken by-and-ly wheu tbexe weary ones are sleeping, but why should they not le spoken now, when they need them so much, aod when their accents would be pleaaing and grateful? It cjsU but little to give men a great detl of joy and help. One brought a bmch of Cowers to my table, -ami for a whole week they filled my room with fragrance. One wrote me a cheering letter, breathing a a spirit of gratitude and love. It came when t was weary and depressed, and wa like tbe meal prepared by the sngcl for the old pmphet, 1 went on its blessed strength for manydsjs. Due met me on tbe street, sod spoke sn encouraging word and grasped me warmly by the hand ; aod for Lour I felt that warm grasp and heard that word echoing throogli my soul. A tittle child mjy brighten scores of live er cry day. There i not on of us who rosy not gladden and strengthen many a heart botween every rising and setting sun. Why ahnald we not live to bless the living, to cheer the diahearteued. to sweeten cup that are bitter, to bold np the Laud that hang down, to comfort thoso that mourn, to bear joy into joyless homes? Kind words will not spoil a man. If a sermon help you, it wiil do tbe preacher no harm to tell hira so. If the editor writes n ar ticle that doe yon good, be can wtite a atiil better one if you tend him a word of thank. If a book blesses yon, do yon not owe it to tb author to write a grateful ac knowledgment ? If yon know a weary or neglected one, would it not be ChrUt-like wotk, to seek every opportunity to bright en aod blew that life? Do not wait till tb eye are cloned, the ears deaf , and tbe heart atilled. Do it now. Tost mortem kindness do not cheer. Flowers on the cofuo cast no frsgradoe backward over the weary day. Ketf. J.

Go from the academy to the priu ling office or tbe artisan' bench or, if you pleaae, to the farmfor, to be sure; true farming Is a trade, and a grand oue at that Lay thus a cure foundation, and after that branch off into whatever profession you pleane. You have beard, perhaps, of the cleric who had faithfully served Stephen Girard from boy-hood to manhood On the twenty-first anniversary of hi birthday lie went to hi master and told hlin his time was Up, and he certainly expected Important promotion In the men-ban's service. Hut Stephen Girard said to him, " Very well Now go and leant a trade.' What trade, air? Good barrel aud butts, must be in de maud while you live. Go aud learn the copper's trade, and when you have made a perfect barrel bring it to me. The young niau went away and learn ed the trade, and in time brought to his old master at splendid barrel of his own make Girard examined it, aid gave the maker two thousnud dollars for it, aud then said to him: " Now, sir, I want you in my counting room; but henceforth you will ti"t be de pendent upon the whim of Stephen Gir ard. Let what will come you have a good trade alwaya In reverse.' The young man saw the wisdom and understood. Years ago, when the middle-aged men of to-day were boys, Horace Greeley wrote: ! w It is a great source of consolation to us that wheu the public shall be tired of us an editor, .we ten make a satisfactory ; livehood at setting type or farming; so that while our strength lasts ten thousand blockheads, taking ofTeuve at some article they do not understand, could not drive us into the poor house.' Aud so may a man become truly in dependent. Keep out or Pest. -Half the per plexity, annoysnce and trouble that men have in the world, is in consequence of getting into debt. It seems to be natural for some people to buy and incur obliga tions without measure, so long as they can avoid psyiog ready cash. Give one of this sort a chance to boy on credit, and the questions of price and condition of pay meni, are matter, that he cares but littla about. Hut what a crop of trouble spring np from tie seed of debt! Haw nisny sleepless nights result from it. How many gray hairs it brings, and bow often it shortens life sometimes leading men to commit suicide or murder. And yet Low eiy it i to keep clear of this terri ble monster. Every young man should form a fixed and unalterable determination, before commencing Li active bunittes career, not to incur oue penny of indebtedness, under any circumstances. Never by any thing, unless yon have tho money to pay for it at once I'ay no attention to splen did opportunities, Urg-on we chan ces,' and the like. Such are only traps set to catch victims. If you see anything that you would like to accept, look first at your money pile, and make tbe answer depend vpon that. Always pay a you go. If yon are short of mooey, gauge your demands accordingly. For worm in the bowels, glre, tlily for a week, a ball made of sulphsl iron (green copperas) two drachms; pulverised ginger, oue drachm.

A drachm of tsrtsr emetio msy be substituted in place of the copperas but is not so safe a remedy. For ascsrides or pa worms in tho rectum, give an inj.vtion of linseed oil, one quart daily for two or three days ; aod repeat after week. A llAnjCAK -A New York trier canllle house held an unsettled lnlin of long standing agalnnt a lame duck ' out West,' and betuiug he was t-ecomlng 'well to-do,' sent their claim on to a lawyer to collect. In due time they reccl veil a reply, whl'.-li eirectUHlly laid' any hope they might have entertained of receiving Itielr money. It ran In this wise: Gents, you w ill never get any spondulicks from Hill Johnston. The undersigned cnlt npott htm yesterday, and found him with nary tile (ne'er a hat), his feet upon tbe nuked rnrlh and not clothe enough tip..,, hint to wad t gun.' We call that an txpailve simile. HOW .illKli HODE THEDCLL. : One of the most laughable stoties of a bovine klntUhat has ever tickled the rib, of ' tii only ftnjnjfil that laughs,' is the one in wnicn ahko rinse aoRcrioea ins ritle in the " natural ';bUi (.', on Heacon Smith's Taurus. KeT.. We defy a cynic, In I 'fastilonable trow- sers, to read It and not burst a button or two off the place to which his suspenders are hitched. Jt Is simply 1 euornious V, Mike took artntlon to go in swimming, and lie Had just got um clothes on, when he saw Deacon (smith's bull making at him. The bull was a vicious animal, and hnd come very near hilling two or three persona, coiiMequently iliko felt rather Jubus . He didn't want to call for help, for be was naked, and tbe nearest place from whence assintance could arrive, was tbe meeting house, which was at the time filled with worshipers, araoug whom was the ' gal Mike was paying devotion to. So be dodged tbe bull aa tbe animal came at him by the tail. He was dragged around till be was nearly dead, and when be thought be could hold no longer, he made up his mind that he had better holler.' And now we wiil let hiui tell bis own story. J So looking at the matter lu all of Its: bearings. I cum to the conclusion that I'd better let some oue know i bar I was' So I gin a yell louder than a locomotive whittle, aud It wasn't long before I seed the Deacon's two dogs a coming down like as as If they was seeing which could get thar fust I k no wed who they war&rter they'd jinetue bull ngin' me. o,' seal, old briudle, a ridiu' isas cheap as walkin' on this route, if you have no objections, I'll just take a deck pa-nage on that ar' back o' yount.' So I warn't very long getting astride of him. Then, lfyu'd been thar, you'd have sworn thar war not Ling human In that ar mix, the si la flew so orfully, as the critter and I rolled round the field one dog on oiw side and one on the other, trying to clinch my feet. I prayed and cussed, until I couldn't ttft which I did last and neither wani't of no use, they were so orfully mixed up Well, I ,-rockoti I rid about half an hour this way, when old brindle thought it war time to stop and take in afresh supply of wind and cool ofTa little. tV when we got round to a tree that stood thar. be naturally baited, so sex I, boy, you'll loose one passenger certain. o I Jin clutn up a branch, kalkalatlng to rooBt till I starved, afore I'd be rid round that ar' way any longer I war making tracks for the top of tbe tree, when 2 beard euthin'a makin' an orful buzztn' overhead, kinder looked, and if tluur wasn't well, thar's no use in swearin' but It war tho biggest hornet's nest ever bitt. You'll 'gin In' now I recon, Mike, 'cause thar' no help for you. Hut an idea struck tie then that I stood a beap better chance a rU In' the bull than whnrl was. Boa I, old feller, If you'll hold on, I'll ride to the next sutiou, any how, let Hint be whar it will. &IJuKt dropped aboard blm agin, and looked aloft to see what I bad gained by changiu' quarters, and, gentlemen, If I ain't a liar, if thar warn't night half a bushel of the stingln' Varmints ready to pitch into me when the word 'go' was gin. Well, I recon they got It, for1 all battclx' started for our company. Bouie of V:n lit (he dgs about a quart struck me, and the rest charged on brindle. This time tbe dogs led off fust, dead bent for the old Deacon's and as soott a old brindle and I could get under w ay, we followed, and as I was only a deck passenger, I had ntitblii' to do witb steerln'tlie craft; if I bad. we shouldn't have run that channel anyhow. " Hut, a I al befor, the dogs took the lead -brindle and I next, and the hornets directly arter. The dogs yelllii' brindle hollcrin.'aud hornets buiilu' and atingln.' Well, we had got about two hundred yards from tbe bouse and the iVsoon beard us and come out I seed blm hold up his hands and turn white. I recon he was prayln' then, for he didn't expect to be called for so soon, aud it waru't long neither aforo the whole congregation men, women and childrencum out, and then all hands went to yelllu' 'Noneofthcm had the fust notion that brindle and I belonged to this world I Jlst turned my bead aud passed the whole enngn gallon. I seed the run would be up soon, for briudle couldn't turn an inch from a fence that stood dead ahead.

" In yoiir Issue of to-day, t noticed a paragraph stating that at the next session of congress It is proposed to have two nevT silver coins authorized, viz. : A twelve and-a-hnlf and a twenty-rient piece, and asking the question: Why not adhere to decimal coins?' I think the Idea of a twelve-and-a-half and a , twenty-cent coin is erroneous, and has arisen from the) fact in telegraphing to the press asynopt-1 1 of the director's report for the butt fisca1 years, the proposed twenty-cent coin was referred to as a twelve-cent coin, the mis take being with the operators, not in the report The necessity for such a cola does not exist A bill authorizing the icsue of a tweuty-cent silver coin was In trnduced fn the senate by Senator Jones, of Nevada, and passed that body at lis lost sesuion. Not reaching tbe , house, , however, until tbe closing hours, it failed for want of time, but will probably become alaw at the next session of congress. The object In providing for such a coin was to relieve an embarrassment whichjiaa long; prevailed on the Pacific coast in making change in consequence of a ten-cent silver coin, or bit,' being the lowest denomi nated coin in circulation our five cent copper nickel coin being almost unknowtt iu California, and all efforts to introducw them having thus far proven unsuccessful. Uuder the bit' system which obtain there, tf a purchaser offers in payment a twenty-flve-cetit cola fur an article, the price of which is a 'bit,' or ten cents, be receives only ten cents change, and con sequently loses five cents in the transact lion. The Issue of a twenty-cent coin will relieve this difficulty, aud at tho am time conform to our decimal system cf mouey.
