But too many grow discouraged and fail in iiicir cflorts for self-improvement, although they begin with the best intentions. A want of thoroughness in what ever Is Undertaken is, perhaps, one great cause of such failures. A prac tical writer oil that topic gives the following good direction : "Never leave what you undertake to learn until you can reach your arms around it, and clench your hands on the other side." It is not the amount of read ing you run over that will ever make you learned; it is the amount you retain. Dr. Albcrnclhy maintained that "there was a point of saturation in his mind." beyond which it was not capable of taking in more. Wliat cver was pressed upon it afterwards crowded out something else. It is probable that lew of us have minds more sponge like than that of the greut doctor. Every young man should endeavor to perfect himself in the science of the business he has chosen. Without this, he must always content himself in the lower walks of his calling. The cost of a few cigars will buy all the books he requires, and his own dili gence may be made to well supply the place of a tutor. Without such diligence, the best teacher in the world cculd not, manufacture him a Twliolar! Tf~orfce'' goihg'ovcr a^ioiiit" will not mas'er it, he must tackle it agnin. Better give a week's stud}'to :i page than conclude that you cannot comprehend it. But though it is wise to give your main strength to your own specialty, you should not confine yourself to such studies exclu sively. The perfection of all your power? should he your aspiration. Those who can only think or talk on one subject may he efficient in their line; but they arc not agreeable mem bers of society in any of its depart ments. Neither have they made the most of themselves. They bcc< me one sided and narrow in their views, and arc reduced to a humiliating de pendence on the branch of industry. It costs notlijng to carry knowlcdgo; and in timed like these, to bo able to put his hand to moro than one branch of industry often serves a man a good turn, Do not attempt loo much in the way of study to begin with; you will surely lose heart if you do. lie hum ble and modes*, in your aspirations, and if you are diligent never fear but that you will hear a voice saying : "Come up higher.'' Bo content to gather the precious gold of learning grain by grain; you will soon be able to see the pile growing, and will learn from it the wonderful power of the littles, which is felt and shown in mental as well as in golden grains. Some people aro always poor. In the very midst of plonty they have nothing. A. rainy day is suro to find them in want, and a sunshiny ono leaves them no hotter prepared 'for tho next storm. Why is this? Those who aro belter favored cannot under stand it. They wonder how men can go hungry in a land flowing with milk and honey. They arc almost con- j strained at times to deny the state ment, and declare it foolishness. Still the fact stares them in tho face, as the pitiful cry for bread goes up from herds of hungry souls in every land. Like the wrecked mariner dying of thirst in mid-ocean, so these pitiable creatures famish in a world that is liberal with its bounties. One great cause of the pove ?'ty prev alent around us, is the prodigality among the laboring classes. .Not that they aro more wasteful of their funds than other people, but they aro .sooner - idc to Buffor tho effects of their 'y. IIow many fail to appreciate tho valuo of small things. Tlrcy think it la UBolesa to* attempt a saving of pennies, hnd consequently never havo an apporturiity to experiment upon pounds. ^Tlioy Bqunuder a nimble sixpence*'nnd trust to luck for a slow shilling.* If tho common people of this country would have greater pros perity . ihoy must practice a closer economy-?men and women alike. Tho foi ?nicr should abandon the grog shops, it?t! turn from the paths Unit lead to bodily excesses and poverty, that may become frugal and pros perous. ?The latter might perhaps exercise at wiser prudence in the man agement of household a flairs, and thus check numerous little bills of expense, which form a very noticeable aggre gate in the course of a single year. Industry ami economy may not guar antee tis (111 co'ossal fortunes, but they will insure lives of independence and adequate [homes. Comforts, and plen ty of tlicm, arc within the reach of every man. All that is needed to so cure llnrhn is honest labor and a wise economy. Why will hundreds of people persist in making themselves objects of pity, out of food, out of money and out at the elbows, when it can easily bo avoided by a policy of working and saving??Lumberman. A S-runnouN Suiciur.?The Lon don Court Circular says : They arc not very lively people in Suffolk, but it appears that when one o f the na tives contemplates .suicide the resolu tion is carried out in a very thorough manner. I read thnta small village the other diry a tradesman's wife got up in the nigl\t> and, having proceed ed some distance from*her house, plac ed half, a pquVd of gunpowder in a circle around-hqr and set firo to it,\but it .did jj[friivinr:n her, fihe. then pro ceeded tTher shop, obtained a pound canister iof gunpowder, placed it in a bucket, and held her head over it and set tire to it. The result was that the outhouse was blown to pieces, and the woman frightfully burned about the face. She next procured a shoe maker's knife, and stabbed herself lit the throat. Strange to say this ener getic female is still living; but, ns she is Under medical care, she need not give up all hopes of extinction, for the doctor will probably finish the work for her which she eccms to have com menced so vigorously. A Tuamp Manoled hy Dogs.? William Harris was sent to the Ualti moro hospital to receive medical at tention for a number of ghastly wounds upon tho head and neck in dicted by tho teeth of dogs. Harris says he is a nativo of New York, and was on his way to Baltimore looking for work. He had arrived about live miles of the city, and feeling very hungry and tired stopped at a house to ask for something to eat. Upon ! entering the yard ho was attacked by two large Newfoundland dogs, and being greatly fatigued from his long tramp, could only make a feeble re sistance. Two more dogs, attracted by the noise, joined in tho attack,and after throwing him down, they all con tinued to bite ferociously at various parts of his body, but particularly bis head. The owner of the dog' was finally attracted by the noise, ami running out, drove the dogs olf, and rcscurcd tho unfortuunto man from his terrible position. It is doubtful if he can recover. ?*?*> ? if - A Child's Mohninu I'hayuk.? ?Some one asks why there is not a morning prayer for children cor responding to the evening petition, "Mow I lay me down to sleep." The New York World replies that there is such a petition, and this is it: "Now I wake nnd pre the light. 'Tin (Sod has kept nie all the night. To Iiii>i I lif*. my voice mid pray That lie will keep mu all I lie day." "You come well recommended, I suppose ?*' said a gentleman to a boy who wanted an easy place, "(), yes, sir : the man I was with last recom mended me; he recommended me to leave and. get work more congenial with my disposition. The Light-Home Which Stood, The fnmoTia Edd'ystonc fight-house-1 of the eoast of Cornwall,. England, was first built in a fanciful way, of| wood, by the learned and eccntric Wistanley, On its sides he put va rious boastful inscriptions. Ho was very proud of bis structure, and from its lofty balcony, used boldly to defy the storm, crying: 'Blow, O winds ! Biso, O ocean !" Break forth, ye elements, and try my work-!' But ojic night the acn swallowed lip the tower and its builder. It was built a second time of wood and stone by Rudgard. The form was good, but the wood gave hold for the ele ment, and the builder and his struc ture perished in the flames. The next great Smcaton was called in. He raised a cone from the solid rock on which it was built, and rive ted it to the rock, as the oak is fas tened to the earth by its roots. From the rock of the foundation ho took the rock of the superstructure. He craved upon it no boastful "inscrip tions like tliosc of Wistanley, but on'j its lower course he put, 'Except the Lc^d build the house, they labor in vain that build it;' and on its key stone above tho lantern, the simple tribute, "Laos Deo!' and the struc ture still stands, holding up its beacon light to the storm tossed mariner. An Honkst Convict.?At Des Meines, Iowa, a few months ago, in a moment of passion, a young man of | upright character, named Morris Spanglcr, killed a mate with whom ho had hitherto been on friendly terms. It was believed there extenu ating circumstances which would pre vent a verdict ngainst him, but lie Ayas' convicted, and. sentenced to the* penitentiary, for. two yeai's. He asked leave of the slierilirto^tettJiia parehlsV who lived a few miles from the city, promising to return so as to go with the other prisoners on the day when they were to be removed. 'I he sheriff | accepted his promise. He went home, and hade all his friends and school mates iarcwoll, leaving .with thorn various kccfpsakcs, gathered togother his school books, and returned prompt ly, and was conveyed to prison. He look his books, saying he should make a man of himself while he was there. A man recently died in Zurich, who; for thirty years made a remarkably big fool of itiniseif. When young, he fell in love, and then became jealous. While in this condition he offended his sweetheart,, who to punish him made him swear that ho would not speak for twelve months. He swore. But she died before the twelve months elapsed, and the lover concluded to re main dumb until ho rejoined her in the next world. He kopt his word, and for thirty .years was never heard to speak. - ? ?> ? a?? - A clergyman" was "turned down'* at a fashionable spelling bee for spoi ling drunkenness with one n. .Shortly afterward he returned to his parish, and found himself very coldly receiv ed by his parishioners. lie sent for the parish clerk arid asked him what was tho cause. "Well, sir," replied tho man, "a report has come dowt here that you was turned out of great lady's house in London for drunkenness." A medical authority says that a man loses one per cent, of vitality every time ho is waked suddenly from sleep. This is what makes a druggist look so pleasaitt when hois rung up at two o'clock in the morning by a fol low citizen, who wants to know if he keeps postage stamps, and who would like to borrow one until morning. - Two Chicago girls, who took n solemn vow lately never to be separ ated, have played their first game of croquet for tho season, and aro not now on speaking terms. .Dan Bice, tho sjiowmaii, is again iu trouble.

The blamed are less in clined to resist when they are blamed without witnesses. Both parties are calmer, and the accused person may be struck with tho forbearance of tho accuser, who has'seen the fault, and watched for a private and proper tirao for mentioning it. Never be harsh or unjust with your children or ser vants. Firmness, with gentleness of el demeanor and a regard for the feel- , ings, constitutes that authority which is always respected and valued. If you havoauy cause to complain of a servant, never speak hastily; *wait,: at all oyents, until you have had time to rcilect on the nature of tho offense.
