Not long s>ince, a lending merchant of this
city, had occasion to go to 11 urope, with
tbe expectation of being absent something
like a year. Connected with his countings

for several days, and finally selected a
the yoimprest. 1
This- elicited surprise from porno of his ,s|
frienffe, and lie was asked for the reason.? ^
J lis vpply was that the chosen clerk had
j T&oertin his employment for something like
Jive years, and that although in many reKpcots
he was not suDerior. if cnunl w
. other?, yet he had never fa 1 to rod on any
occasion, was always depended upon, and 1
was remarkable for fidelity aud reliability.
This course with him was a principle, and v

A lesson on Riches.
A little boy sat by his mother. TIotonTc- i
I long in tho five, ami was silent. Then, 1
tlic deep thought passed away, his eyes 1
rightcno'l, nod he spoke: J
" Mother, I want to be riclu" I
" AY by do you want to be rich, my sod." : 1
And the child said, " Every tvne praises i
ic rich ; every one asks after the rich.? i
he stranger at our tabic yesterday asked '
ho was the richest man in our village.- '
,t .school, there is a boy who does not like ]
) learn, lie cannot sny his lesson well. |
om?times ho speaks bad words. Hut the
ther children do not blame him, for they :
iv he is a wealthy boy." 1
Then the mother saw that the child was '
i danger of thinking that wealth might
d\0 the place of goodness, and be an ex
iso tor indolence, or cause them to bo held I ,
i honor who lead unworthy lives. i?oshe
-ked him?
" What is it to be rich ?"
He answered, "1 do not know. Tell
io how to become rich, that all may ask
fter me and praise inc."
" To become rich is to pot money. For
lis you must wait until you become a man."
The boy looked sorrowful, and said, " Is
lore not some other wav of hoi-nnii no- i i.-li
, s O
I may begin now 'i
8he answered, "The gain of money is
ot the true wealth. Fires may burn it,
be winds sweep it away, the inotli may cat
:, the rust waste it, or the robber mny make
; his prey. Men are worried with the
>il of getting; it, but they leave it behind
liem ai Ins**. They die, and carry nothing (
way. Tho soul of tlie richest prince of
ic earth goeth forth like that of the wny- ]
ido beggar, without a garment. Those
ho possess it arc always praised by men,
ut thoy do not receive the praise of tied."
u Then," said the boy, " may I begin ,
) gather this kind of riches'/ or mrrst I
ait until 1 am a man
The methev laid her hand wpnn his little j ,
cad, and said " To-day, if you will hoar j
lis voice ; for No hath promised that tho.se .
rho seek early shall find."
And the child said, "Teach me how I j
lay become rich before <!od."
Then .die looked tcmlcrlr on linn, and
aid, " Kneel down every night ; nd morn- j
ig, and ask that yon may love the dear | :
iaviour and tru.-t in Him. Obey his word, ! ,
nu strive all the days of your life to do
ood to all. So, though yu i may bo poor
11 the world, you sliall be rich in faith, and
eir ?f the kingdom of heaven."" ,

Cleanliness may be defined fo he the em- ot
Mem of purity of mind, and may be reeom- hi
mended under the throe following heads :
First, it. is a mark of politeness, for it is nl
universally agreed upon that no one una- (|(
domed with this virtue can u;o into eompa- |J(
iiV without giving a manifold oll'euce. The
ihlferont nations of the world are as much tli

advanced in civilization, tbemorclhey con- | ^
sv.lt this part of politeness. Secondly, I
uleanl'ine:?s may be said to bo the foster nio- j ,.a
flier of alTection. Heauty commonly pro- j
duces love, but cleanliness preserve* it.? , tli
Age, itself, is not vmaniiakvle while ifc is pre-'
