This was a favorite saying witl young Myron Boyd. lie was a farmer's son. A tall, hand wine young fellow, honest in his deal ings, in the ordinary sense of the word jnterprising. industrious,"and emphat cally, as the country phrase goes 'smart to work." People respectet Myron, that is to say, they rathei ooked up to him, because he was in t "airway to be rich, because he under stood farming better than any othei young man in the district, because h< vas capable and sensible, and yet h< jould not he called a favorite among ,*oung men of his own ape. Myron knew that he was not popu' ar, una inough he professed to cart jothing for public opinion, nevertheess he would have liked to feel him' ielf more welcome than he generally vas in the society of his fellows. Perhaps one secret of the lack ol sordial feeling toward Myron was th< insistent manner in which he acted jp to his favorite saying: "It's nc jusiness of mine." He not only never put himself out ol he way to do a neighbor service, bul le never offered a kindness or lifted a land to prevent any injury to another, :ven when it would have cost no troube whatever. One day he was driving into the vilage with Alfred Brown, the minister's on, a boy some years younger than limself. It was a very warm day, the road to he village was sandy and tiresome, nd Alfred, who had been sent out to Ir. Boyd's on an errand, was not sory that he was not obliged to walk iack. By and by they passed au old grayIH?ried P.olofPlI rrmn tmlinir ulnnnr in be sun with a heavy bundle over his houlder. The old man looked wistfulv after the wagon, but he knew Myron 5oyd too well to ask for a ride. "Why don't you give old Uncle Jeff lift?" asked theeood-natured Alfred. It's all of a mile from here to his lace." "Oh! I'd have to stop to pick him p and set him down. Ican'ttakein very one I see." "Hut tbe poor old fellow looks so ired." "Well, I can't help that," said My011, carelessly; "it's no business of line." Their way at last past Uncle Jeff's litle place, and Alfred saw that there as'no one at home, and that two or hree cows, taking advantage of a weak lace in the fence, had got into the oru patch and were making sad havoc. ''Oh, let's stop and drive those cows tit," cried Alfred. They'll ruin the Id man's garden." "He should have had his fence in etter order, said Myron. "It's no usiness of mine." "It's mine "then, anyway," said Al ed, disgusted. "Let me out." "I shan't stop for you to drive out ie cows," said Myron, coolly, "it's no usiness of mine." "Drive on, then," said Alfred, as he imped out of the wagou and ran fter the cows. Myron drove on and was soon out of ght, thinking to himself what a fool lfred Brown was to lose his ride for ie sake of old Uncle Jeffs garden, hich was after all no business of his. It cost Alfred some time and trouble i drive out the cows and put up the (nee again so that they could not get ack into the garden. When th's was finally accomplished e sat down on the doorstep to rest a bile, feeling very hot and tired, and ot a little provoked with Myron. By and by Uncle Jeff came wearily oine, and wheu he learned the story e was thankful to Alfred, and the boy id not regret what he had done, /en though he bad a long hot walk ? the village. Two or three days later, Myron Boyd ent past Uncle Jeff's house with a eavy lumber wagon loaded with rain bags. He had not gone far when it came the linch-pin and down went le wagon. The horses were steady nd did not run. Myron was cot hurt, and after ascerlining the cause of the accident went ick to Uncle Jefl', who was peaceably noking on his doorstep, to borrow a ammer. "I seed dat linch-pin was a-comin' at when you passed," said Uncle Jeff, jolly. "You did?" said Myron, not unnat rally provoked. "Why didn't you ill me?" "Why, honey," said Uncle JeflT, ith a sly little laugh, "I thought vasn't no busiuess of mine." Myron bit his lip. "Have you got a amtner you'll lend me?" he said. "Well, I don't rightly know 'jes here the hammer is," said Uncle Jeff, lacidly, "and I'm mighty comfortable ist now, and I don't want to go and iok for it. 'Taint no business of line." Greatly provoked, Myron was turnigaway when Uncle Jeir called after im . "You's welcome to the hammer or nything else, honey," said be, laughig. "Laws! I was only jes' seeing ow curus things is, but I guess you'll ud out this rule of yours is one uf the ind that won't work both ways. J)is t;r is a world full of folks and you m't live in it like there wasn't no:>dy but yourself, fix it how you ill." And then Uncle Jeff went to elp Myron. Myron did not want for sense, and ncle .left's lesson made a strong imressiou on his mind. He used his faorite phrase less frequentlj', and arned after a time to feel that duty as a word of far wider meaning than e ha(J supposed, and that whatever is hftid found to do for his neighbor, ilt.'.f S tlin tit ntf /\f nvnttnnf iAn /\t* UCtUCI 111 LUC v> Liy \tl ^ICVUUUWIi Ul ire, was indeed the business of a man nd a Christian.

"Ho! your mother?she isn't one of a . the kind that's worth minding." n "Wht do you mean?" advancing lc threateningly towards the boy standing ol 1 with his back against a tree. "She's c< as good a mother as ever lived, and I p j won't have you say such things." w r A knot of boys had gathered close to ci t the speakers, one cool and quiet, the 01 . other with angry, heated face. a r "She isn't worth minding, and you p ; know it, Jack Somers," was the reply, It 5 "You've said eo yourself many and b r many a time." * ci ' "That's true !" came in a loud whis- ei . per from one of the boys standing I ? near. ' ft ' "Everybody knows it, too, came o . from another. v, r Jack turned from the speaker in an- ti gry amazement: "You're a pretty lot h f of boys talking about mother that way, n > and pretending you like her all the h I time!" b ? "We do like her," came in a chorus tl from the half-dozen boys. "George e1 f said she wasn't worth minding." cl ; "Well, what do you mean?" anger al t giving place to surprise. y< "Why, just this, that you don't J< 1 think she's worth minding." m "I never said such a thing in my ui life!" trying to recall any remark of e^ i this kind. ti "Look here, Jack," said one of the tt boys, coming forward : "you don't e\ i seem to see what George and the other ol boys are driving at. You may not m have said in so many words that your se mother wasn't worth minding, but by Si your actions. This morning, when p( your mother asked you to post a letter, tt you said you wouldn't have time to go e\ around by the postoffice, and yet you ac have had half an hour before school m in which to play ball. Whe- she told w you to put on your coat for fear you y< would take cold, you still left it hang- y< ing on the fence, paying no attention m to what she said. Of course, we boys in can see she isn't worth minding, since, W you see it so plainly yourself. Tell at you what it is, old follow, I don't ta know of anything so satisfactory in it the long run as minding mothers;" ag The angry light died from Jack's pf face before Tom had finished, and as it YV came to a close, he turned and walked away. , Here was a boy who loved his mother dearly, and yet how unmindful he had been of her wishes! m "Guess I needed that lesson, and although the boys may never know it, I r[ am much obliged to them for it. I'll see that they don't have to tell me ar again !? si, And they did not. it w Newlnjf on BnitOUM.

We never eai worry about him when he is out of our all sight. We never say, 'I wonder where idi he is ; I wi9h I knew what he is doing; gn I wonder whom he is with ; I wonder 1 why he doesn't come home.' Nothing thi of the sort. We know he is all right, a and that when he comes home we will ho know all about it, and get it straight, im "We don't have to ask him where he wl is going and how long he will be gone every time he leaves the house. We don't have to call back and make him j 'solemnly promise' the same thing as over anil over two or three times, til When he says, 'Yes, I will,' or 4No Pa I won't,' just once, that settles it." tec nli ' otl The benefits of subsoiling are now it's beiug recognized byf arrners geuerally, an but the point is not sufficiently emphasized that it is best to subsoil only in j the early fall.

Many scrap or bit of time will be wasted, lauy an odd or leisure hour will be >at, unless we are wide awake and full f energy. There are no means of imputing the results of wi9ely-imroved scraps of time. Burret, the er 'orld-renowned author, mathematiian, astronomer, and linguist, started Ci ut in life a poor blacksmith, and owed 11 his great achievement to the im- pi rovement of the hours that common iborers usually waste. One of the fo est scholars and greatest mathematiiansof America acquired his knowl- m dge of algebra and the rudiment of jatin and Greek while working on a ar irm, and having to work hard, withut a rest-day except rainy days. But m rhen it rained, and during hours iken from sleep, he diligently applied of imself and became a master. T&e mn whom every Tennessean loved to w onor, ex-President Johnson, began usiness Jife when he did not know co le alphabet. He had to work hard irery day to maintain his wife and bild. An intimate friend and associle of Mr. Johnson's, an eminent lawer said to the writer: "I knew Andy Dhnson from his boyhood?was intilate with him. He did more man- "" al labor than any other man I was rer acquainted with, and at the same me he did more reading and studying tan any professional man or student I rer knew. " It was the improvement ' the time wasted by the masses that lade Ihe poor journeymen tailor the /\ sventeeuth President of the United (I tates. There are very few laboring V ;ople, especially young people, but lat could devote two hours out of 'ery twenty-four to study; theu, in idition, many bits or scraps of time ight be added.

A. philosopher has eaid that true ed" ation of boys is to "teach them what ey ought to know when they become ^ en." _ 1. To be true and to be genuine. No ucation is worth anything that does t include this. A man had better t know how to read?he had better I ver learu a letter in the alphabet, 11 d be true, genuine in intention and I action rather than be learned in all * e sciences and in all languages, and at the same time false in heart and unterfeit in life. Above all things, ich boys that the truth is more than V* :hes, more than earthly power or pos- for isions. ??j 2. To be pure in thought, language ti01 d life?pure in mind and body. 1. To be unselfish. To care for the J dings and comforts of others. To be lite, to be just in all dealings with am iers. To be generous, noble and j P&j inly. Ttiis will include a genuine tha rerence for the aged and for things inB ;red. -r I. To be self-reliant and self helpful, J sn from childhood. To be industrib always and self-supporting at the rliest proper age. Teach them that J, honest work is honorable, that an e life of dependence on others of disiceful. When a boy has learned these four ings, when he has made these ideas part of being?however poor or wever rich?be has learned the most ^ portant things he ought to know p len he becomes a man. n* # ^ m \ pedagogue told one of his scholars, k ion of the Emerald Isle, to spell bos- J. ity.
