No use to stand on the sidewalk and whine about hard luck, and say that every thing goes against you. You are not of halt the consequence that your talk would lead us to believe. The world hoa*ut declared war against you?no such thing. You are like all the rest of us?a mere speck upon the earth's surface. Wore you this moment to go down in the living tide, but a bubble would linger for a moment upon the snrface, and even that would vanish unnoticed. The heart is full of hope and a nbition, but is not missed where it ceases to beat. One such you woulu not leave a ripple. Yon area coward in battle. There's no light in you. Von have surrendered without a struggle, and whine because beaten I You are not worth of a triumph, for you have not earned it. In garrent, hut, dripping cellar, are ten thousand heroes who would put you to stiarne. lriey musi iuu m e>..w?c.? The strife is a desperate one with them, for thcv wrestle with want, while ragged and despairing ones watch at the lone hearth the fearful contest. Strong men look death in the eye, when their sinews are strung by the wail of hungry childhood. Shame on yon. In the full vigor of health and manhood, no mouth but your own to fill, and no back but your own to cover, and yet .crouching under the first scorchings of adverse fortune* Yon know nothing oft ho storm, for you have seen but the summer. One cloud has frightened you, and you think you are hardly dealt by. You will '.X3 lucky if you find no darker shadows across your path. Stand up, young sir, pull vonr hands from yonr pocket, throw off your coat, and take fortune by the throat. You may be thrown again and again, but hang on. Put away the nonsense that the world is all against you. TaVntso. Your destiny is in vonr own strong arm. Wield it like a man ! With an unbending will, and honor and truth for a guide, the day is your own. No capital, eh? You have capital. God has given you perfect health.? That is an immense capital to start on. You havo youth and strength?all invaluable. Add a will to do ; put your sinows in motion, and you win. A man in full health and strength, should never whine or despair, because fortune docs not pour a stream of gold eagles into Ins pocket. If you have no money, work and get it. Industry, economy, and integrity, will do wonders. From such beginnings, fortunes have been reared. They can bo again. Will you try it ? Or, will yon wait for the steam to run by, so that j'ou can walk dry shod into the El Dorado of wealth ? Or, will you meet the waves defiantly, and be the architect of your own fortune ? Try?It. is glorious to conquer in the strife.? Cayuga Chief. The Colportour and Man with a Jug. About six years ago a Colporteur of the American Tract Society was travelling on horseback through one of the most mountainous portions of Cherolnflnn with f..r tribution and sale. When passing through a narrow gorge between two hills, where was scarcely room for more than one person to pa?s, he met a man with a j tig. The jttg had no handle, but was hold by an old, greasy, leathern string, tied around the neck. The Colporteur accosted him: ''Good morning, sir, can I soil you a book r ".No, sir; I have no monoy," was the reply. "Where are yon agotug, my friend, with your jug?" "lb the still-house, sir." "Suppose you take the money with which you propose to buy the whisky, and 5-iyh gpyd l*x>k,andgohninc without h.e whisky, and read the book, and J jV'omfce it will bo the better for yon." ' But, sir, I have no money?I am get the whiskey 011 credit." "Well, u?v friend, I will make another propositi on?I will buy vonr jug and give von a t>c*>k for it.

Be- 1 ing at Court, still engaged at the col- ' porteurage tor the Tract Society, he ' was accosted by a gentleman with the 4 inquiry: 4 i "Do you remember trading for a 4 jug, several rears ago, in the hills < ' about here ?" "I do, sir," replied the colporteur. M "Yonder," said the gentleman, point-! j I ing to a sober-looking .nan, "is the man j 4 from whom you bought it. He was at' ' the time you met him a drunkard?M a pest to society. Now he is a sober i' man, and has been that way ever since j 1 the day von took the jug away from; 1 him. lie is now at orderly and con- 4 ! sistent member of the Church and en- ' I joys religion. lie is industrious and 1 supports his family well; whereas, 1 I while he owned the jug, ho did little!4 | else than make his visits to the still- 1 house, and iill and empty his jug." The colporteur, feeling some inter- 4 est, inquired of the man how thej1 change was so suddenly wrought on | " him. "Was it the tract?" "No,".' said lie, "it was your determination,' ' and the interest that you seemed to ' manifest in my well fare; and, besides * j this, you took my jug, and that 6et me ' thinking ; then I went home and read j the tract, and determined, by the help i j i of God, I would never drink another 1 j drop, and I have been enabled to keep ' 1 ; that promise." ' This is a plain unvarnished tnlc, and I shows how much may be done by! I strong personal efforts. "Cast thy 1 bread upon the waters, for thou shaft I < find it atVer mimv davs." ! < "" 11 Two Kinds of Riches. A little boy sat l?v his mother. lie j looked long at the tire and was silent. < ; When the deep thought passed away, j j his eye grow bright as he spoke, Moth ! r | or, I wish I was rich." i ' Why do von wish you were rich, t my son V The child said. Because 1 every one praises the rich, every one 11 inquires for them. The stranger at1 at our table yesterday asked who was the richest man in our village. At d j school there is a boy who does not ? ; learn; he takes no pains to say his ! j] (lessons well. Sometimes he speaks evil M words. But the children don't blame ( b him: for thy say be is a wealthy bov." j | Tito mother thought the child in t ' danger of believing wealth might take! < ' the place of goodness, as an excuse for I " indolence, or cause them to bo held in I h honor who led unworthy lives. So! j she asked him, "what is it to be rich f" I > He answered. "I do not know. You ^ tell me now to become rich, that all \ may ask after me and praise inc." I "To become ricli is to get money.? t For this you must we it until you be- \ j come a man." The boy looked sorrowful, and said f "Is there not 6omo other way of be-' t coining rich, that I may begin now i "She answered, the gain of money is 1 not the only nor the true wealth.? > . Fires may burn it, the floods drown it, < 1 the winds may sweep it away, and < I moth may eat it, rust waste it, and the t ! robber may make it his prey.

Those who ]k>s- e seas it are alwaj's praised by men, but 1 do they receive the praise of God?" i i "When,' said the boy, "may I be-i t gin to gather this kind of riches, or j must I wait till I am a man ? ; t I The Mother laid her hand upon his t little head, and said, "To-day, if ye i will hear his voice; for Tie hath prom- I i ised that those who seek early shall i i I find." < i And the child said, "Teach me how * T 1 " x may occonie ricn ocioro tiod." 1 Then she looked tenderly on him and said. uKneel down every night t and morning, and ask that you may < love the Saviour, and trust llim.? 1 j Oboy hi* word, and strive all the days t ! of 3'onr life to he good to all.

The next day being Sabbath, [ accompaninod biui to ZiottUu&pvi.? A. new minister had been called to that neighborhood, and this was to be his salutatory sermon. Zion Chapel was some hundred yards away Irom the road, and surrounded by forest trees. 1 laving arrived rather too early for service, myself and friend sauntered about the svoods, rather actively employed in brushing away the mosquitoes that surrOnnued us. At length a strange specimen of the genu# homo made bis jpnearance on horseback: it was broth sr Crawford. Ilia dress was decidedly pecular.? On his head lie wore an old fashioned liell-crownud befvor, several sizes too urge. To remedy this defect a cotton jandana handkerchief was stuffed between the hat and forehead, llis coat was of a most ancient pattern; blue, with brass buttons, short waist, and ong swallow. The collar cAino within in inch of biding the back part of bis lead. His ve6t was extremely long, uid his pants ditto 6bort. The latter were held down by leather straps passed under a huge pair of brogans of an in tanned lcalner color. Altogether, lis presence strongly suggested Dan Vlarbel in 1'is Yankee character ofjonahan Homespun. But to tlio sermon ?or at least a portion of it, for it was ittcrly impossible to report the whole. The congregation was large, as it iad been "unrated" ubioad that a new ervant of the Lord was about to make lis debut at /ion. Brother Crawford 'link into the J nilpit with more that ordinary humiltv. and after devoting a few minutes o silent prayer, he rose. Gingerly pushing up the sleeves of lis store coat, whereby he displayed a >airof large, long, bony hands of a beeted color, he grasped an oai'thern pitch;r and pt Aired into a tin cup a draught >t water which he drunk with inhmta>le gusto.

He began apologetically n9 follows: "You don't see me to-day in the Iress I alters wear; I come among vou s a stranger, and I am now tricked out ii my store clothes. I am not a proud lan, but I thought it would be more econiing before strangers. After this lie raised a hymn in which he congregation joined. lLe then bepm this sermon.
