No more thine own ! To wake for thee, at eve, The chords of music thine ear ; sweetest to To love thee still 'alike through joy or grief, To be thy truest friend, of all most deal, . . But not on earth thine own. On these near hills, whose beauty never fades, My lingering feet shell rest.

Among the hundreds of young men who visit; on r office from time to time for advice and assis tance, there are many sad cases. Among these are those who have come to the city on false repre sentations, expecting to step into business at once,, and rise with great rapidity. They have met the traveling agents of New' York houses, ami bright and free from care, and full of knowledge of many worldly things, and so well acquainted with " S t e w a f t " and Vanderbilt" and "Astor," that the simple young man in the country has '.seen-- all city life in dreams that lay in the color ot' the rose. . They do not know that those quickwitted young men are putting all they have in their clothes, that in the cityv they live in very obscure quarters, or if they Jiave a little room in a great hotel, that they have to work for their 4t houses " in those hotels in labors often more humiliating than waiting on the table, and more laborious that carrying bag- gage. , Sometimes therp is sheer decep- nom v. we have nau several cases rom the South where women, as well as men. have been brought o New York bv glowing descrip tions of the openings here and the demand for workers, bv those who knew better. They had sold out their little stock at home and surrendered their position to try their fortunes in the srreat citv. rhey had barely cnough to briiifi" them to New York, and landing. almost p.ennilcss, and Hot having learned the small economies or a ew place, thev were soon abso- luAelydcstitute and spiritless, and lunas iiaa Tfxue-crDtaTnea to "re turn them to their homes. A few da vs ago we had such a case 1 1 mi a in nana. mat youny; man was a printer. He had a place at home in which he could make a subsis- tanct. A young friend in this citv vvrote him a glowinff letter. describing the advantages of New York, the demand for workmen, the high pay, and ad that kind of thing; together with promises of doing everything lor hint it he wouid come on. He sold what he had and came. He "presented himself at the office where his friend was working at a case. It was a startling apparition to that friend. He did not think his cor respondent would have taken hh letter so seriously. 4It was all a ioke " he said. He received bare ly wages enough to keep himself from starvation. He could net help his friend. After that friend had suffered much in flesh and spirit, a passage was secured for lnm cn a steamer, and was sent "V-" ' back. The fact is there is no place like a great city in which to achieve a great successful unless a man have some money or much brain and grraLtact the city will crush him to death. The vast city is attractive. People flock from all (iiiarters. There are ten ft p pi i cants fo r e ve r y p 1 ace. T here are at least 1,000 adults in New York bet;eon whom and starva tion there intervenes only the helping hand of public and private charity. These people can afford to Work for almost nothing. There are boys here whose par ents i.ever support them, aiuLare willing that they shall work'Tor a dollar a week rather than do no thing. Strangers must compete with them. Advertise that yon want a clerk for 10 a week, ami the pohcewi'd he compelled to guard your door from the throng that will come sweeping up at the hour. Advertise for a box-, and men will come in platoons, some times gray-headed men. There is room enough in New lork for men who can hold it, hut a man must come prepared. to hold his position a long time without help. A great city is great soil to a man who lias so much sap that he can live on his sap'througha long drought. . But it is a dreadful place to drudge in. Men work for years and do net rise an inch, and then if hard times come and they are thrown out, there is nothing for them. If you can get the use of a blind mold and two acres of land, do not come to New York. Do not come without money to bring you and carry you liomc, and keep you until you go home. If then y 041 have a trade or profes sion, you may succeed. ; It is no joke to be thrown penniless on a vast city. T 'Ac Christian Age. The Way to do it. PRIVATE ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN. Don't be too tudden about it. Many a girl has said " no," when she meant 44 yes," simply because her lover didn't choose the right time and pop the question gentle. Take a dark night for it. Have uie oimus closed, the curtains down, and the lamp turned most out. bit near enough to her so that you can hook your little fin- liers. Wait until con versa tion begins to flag, and then quietly remark : Susie, I want to ask you some thing." She will fidget around a little, you can add : 1' 'J uwu uiLfr u pause 4 Susie, my actibus must have shown-that is. you must have seen I mean vou must be aware that that Pause here lor a while, but keep vour Jittie hnger hrmly locked. he may cough md try to turn the subject off by askingyou how you liked the circus, but she only does it to ent ourage you.

She may- give a yank to get it awayor she may not; in either case it argues well for you. Wai t about rive minutes unu then -go on : " The past year has been a very happy one to me.

Give the wind a chance to sob and moan around the ga bles. This will make her lone some and calfnp all the love in her heart. When she begins to cough and grow restless, you can go on : "Before I met you this World was a desart to me.

Speak, dearest Susie, and say and say that that- " Give her live minutes more by the 'clock, and then add; 44 That you will be that is, that you will I mean that you will be -be mine?" She will heave a sigh, look up at the clock and over to the stove, and then as she slides herhead over on your vest pockety she will whisper: - ' You are just right, I will." JSy M. Quad. HI 11 nh u rs. Some murmur when their sky is clear And wholly bright to view, If one s'mal speck of dark appear In their great heaven of blue. And some with thankful love are filled If but one streak of light, One ray of God's good mercy gild The darkness of their night. In palaces are hearts that ask, In discontent and pride, Why life is such a dreary task, And all good things denied ; And hearts in poorest huts admire How love has in their aid (Love that not ever seems to tire) Such rich provision made. R. C. TRENCH. Mmmmmmmmtmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm An Unwelcome fSudfcllow. I wandered about the town the rest of the day '.watching the lazy negroes and did not return to my house till after dark. , I struck a match and set fire to a tojli-ttr-go' to bed by and cast ing my eye about to see if auy thing had been disturbedjioticed something glittering and shining under mv akdcfbv low bamdoo bedside. I did not pay niuch at tention to the subject, which did hot seem important by the dim light of the torch, till just as I ap proached the bed to arrange it, I saw that the glitter was produced by 'the shining scales of ah enor mous serpent, which lay quietly coiled up there within twoject of me. My first motion was to re treat behind the door; then I be thought me to kill it. . Rut, unfortunately, my two guns were set against the wall, back of the bed, and the snake was between me and them. As I stood watching and thiukiug what to do. kewniiio thft donrvvav w4vfcuM-L treat. I noticed that my visitor did not move, and finally muster ed up courage to creep along the floor to the-bedside and quickly graspTone gun. - I placed the tnuzzle fairly against one of the coils of the serpent, fired, and then ran out. At the report there was an instant rush of negroes from all sides, eager, to kuow what was the matter. They thought some one had shot a man and then ran into the house tor concealment. Of course, they rushed in belter skelter and quick rushed out agaiu findiirg a great hsnake writhing about the floor. ThemT Went in, cautiously to re cormoitcr. Happily,xmy torch had kept alight and I saw the snake on the floor. My shot had been so closely fired that it had cut the body fair ly in two and both ends were now flopping about the floor. I gave the head some blows with a heavy stick and thus killed the animal, and then, 'to my su prise, ji dis gorged a duck which it had pro bably swallowedthat afternoon and then sought shelter in my hut to digest it quietly. This pretty sleeping compauion mea sured eighteen feet in length. I must confess that I dreamed more than once of serpents that night, for they are my horrors. Adven ture in A frica. . . . All About a Dun. "I have a small bill against you," said a pernicious-looking collector, as be entered the store of one who had acquired the character ot a hard customer. "Yes, sir, a very fine day indeed," was the rep'y "lam not speaking of the weather, but your bill," replied the collector in a loud key; " "It would be better if we had a little rain." "Confound" the rain," con tinued thecollector, and, raising his voice, added, "have you the morey to pay this bill ; 'Beg your pardon, I'm hard of heaiing. I've made it a rule not to lend tny funds to stran gers, and I really don t recog nize you." "I'm collector for the Weekly Gazette newspaper, sir, and I t have a bill against you," ' per- sisted the collector, at the top of his voice, producing the bill, and thrusting it in the face bf , his debtor. : 4 "I've determined to endorfe ; t bills for no one ; you may put 1 the bill back into your pocket- book ; I really can't endorse it." "Confound your endorsement Will you pay.it." "You'll pay it no doubt, sir, but theie's always a risk: about these matters, you know ; so I must decline it." "The Money must be mine to-day." "Oh, yes, ninety days, but I ;? would not endorse a biil for you , fJ at a week ; so get out of my store. It is seldom that I am " pressed upon for an endores-j . ment, even by a friend; on the , part of a stranger, sir, it is in- ' explicable. Do not iorce me ' to put you out ; leave tjie prem-i ises." :' The bill was returned to the T Gazette office, endorsed : "So ! dreadfully deaf that he couldn't understand."
