Give me a. man with en aim. Whatever that aim may be. Whether it’s wealth, or whether it’sf It m not. to me. Let him walk in the path of Right, And keep his aim in ' t : And work and pray in faith, ulway With his eye on the glittering height. wwmcwvâ€"u-u .,__, ' , “ I will do something well ; And makes the fleeting days A story of labour tell. Though the aim he has is small, It is better than none at all. With something to do the whole year through, He will not slumber or fall. But Satan weaves: snare For the feet of those that stray, With never a thought or care, Where the path may lead avsy. The man who has no aim, Not only leaves no name Whenthis life is done, but ten to one, He lest-eta record of shame. ' Give me the man whose heart Is filled with ambitious fire, Who sets his mark at the start, W’And keeps moving it higher and higher. Better to die in the strife The hands with labor rife, Than toglide with the stream in m idle dream, And linis useless life. Better to strive to climb. And never reach the goal, Than-to drive along with Time, .‘ I ,_ _A_.' 10m UL Le. Ivaâ€"a u--- ,, nity.

Over the beauty of the plum and apri- cot there grows a bloom of beauty more oxguisite than the fruit itselfâ€"a soft deli- ate flush overspreads its blushing cheek. Now, if you strike your hand over that, and it is once 'gone, it is gone for ever ; for it never grow: but once.

On a frosty morning you may see the panes of glass covered with landscapes, mountains, lakes and trees, blended with a beautiful, fantastic picture. Now lay your hand upon the glass, and by the scratch of finger, or by the wamth of the palm, all the delimte tracery will be obli- u :_ mm”. g hanutv r...” â€"â€" w, tented. So there is in youth a. beauty md purity of character, which. once touch- ed and defiled, can never be restoredâ€"a. fringe more delimte than frost-work, and which, when torn and broken, will never be re-emhroidered. When a. young man leaves his father’s house, with the blessings of his mother’s teats still wet upon his forehead, if he once loses that early purity of character, it is a. loss that he can never make whole again. Such is the com quence of crime. Its effects cannot be er- ndiented: it an only be forgiven. P033115 1565wa .- v'. , v in bycgone ages it was given to the bride only as s gift amongst other presents.

On that occasion the bridegroom put the n'ng on each of the bride’s left hand fin- gers in turn, saying at the first, “ in the name of the Father,” at the second, “in the name of the Son,” at the third, “in the name of the Holy Ghost,” and at the fourth, “ Amen ;” after which the father presented the husband with one of the bride’s shoes as a token of the transfer of enthority, whilst the bride was made fully aware of the fact by a. blow on her head 4...... with the shoe. The husband-bound fourth, “ Amen ;” after wmcn we imam ‘ presented the husband with one of the 3 bride’s shoes as a token of the transfer of mthority, whilst the bride was made fully - fact by a. blow on her head given with the shoe.

In reference to smoking, j, it is a well understood maxim that no gen } tleman will indulge either in public or in the presence of ladies, ext-opt under pe- ' culisr circumstances, and then not before first politely requesting permission of the ‘ latter; yet how many are there who would consider it a base insult to hint that they ' are anything but the pure cloth, every day unthinkingly violating this important rule of etiquette? Justso in regard to proâ€" fane swearing. But the worst phase of this common evil is devoloping itself in connection with the rising generation of our country. Young men, youths scarce- ly in their tee”, and even children of ten- der age, hardly able to lisp their own names, in the play-ground and on the street corners, in imitation of their seniors, are heard bandying profane epithets, which, as Was said by a member of the Board of School Trustees for Toronto, are “fearful to contemplate !” Surely parents are not so indifi‘erent to the welfare of their child- ren that they would willingly see them sc- .1 ,L u-.. -LLJ.’ in tell uni-v WC: "v...- ..____.,,1 quire a degrading habit that may stick to ‘ them through life.

He intended to pass on to Hamilton, but on returning to the stu- tion one of his trunks had disappeared. He brought evidence to prove that among other things, the missing trunk contained $90 worth of personal clothing, a. gold Al- bert chain, a. rifle, a. revolver, a sewing machine, and $100 worth of carpenter’s tools. The Grand Trunk contended that there were only three boxes, and that some of the articles were not “personal luggage,” and therefore the Company was not re- sponsible for them. The jury found a ver- dict in favour of the‘immigrnnt, in about W 1..

After hearing ar- gument, the Bench decided that the rifle and the revolver were personal luggage, but the mrpenter's tools and sewin mach- ine were not. A concertina un sppily caused some discord in the court, Judge Adam Wilson deciding that it was personal luggage ; but the other two Judges, less devoted to harmony,_ruled against @323 gage, therefore they could not be held re- ‘ sponsible for the remainder, though bo-l longing to the favoured clamâ€"Globe. ‘ 1 am free to own that it requires great courage and great good sense for a warm- hearted, social, lively girl to stem the tide of frivolity and worldlineu, and remain true to her better self in her corner of iso- lation ; and I could wish that more young men than I can at present number, hon- ored them for so doing, not only in their secret hearts, but by the offer of their hands as partners for life.
