DON'T CROWD.
Don’t crowd; this world is broad enough
For you as well as me;
The doors of art arc open wide
The realm of thought is tree;
Os all earth’s places, you are right
To choose the best you can,
Provided that you do not try
To crowd some other man.
What matter though you scarce can count
Your piles of golden ore, ,
While he can hardly strive to keep
Gaunt famine from his door.
Ot willing hands and honest heart
Alone should men be proud ;
Then give all the room he needs,
And neyer try to crowd.
Don’t crowd, proud Miss; your dainty silk
Will glisten none the less
Because it comes in contact with
A beggar’s tattered dress.
This lovely world was never made
For you and me alone ;
A pauper has a right to tread
The pathway to a throne.
Don’t crowd the good from out our hearts
By fostering all that’s bad,
But give to every virtue room—
The best that may be had;
Be each day’s record such an one
That you may well be proud ;
Give each his right—give each his room,
And never try to crowd.
Failures in Business.
The man who never failed in business
can not possibly know whether he has any
grit in him, or is worth a button. It is the
man who falls, then rises, who is really
great in his own way.
Peter Cooper failed in making hats, he
failed as a cabinet maker, locomotive
builder, and grocer; but as often as he
failed he tried again, until he could stand
upon his feet alone, and then crowned his
victory by giving a million dollars to help
the poor boys in time to come.
Horace Greeley failed three or four times
in the newspaper business, before he found
ed the Tribune, and made it worth two
million dollars.
Patrick Henry failed at everything he
undertook, until he made himself the orna
ment of his day and nation.
Stephen A. Douglas made tables and
bedsteads many a long year before he made
himself a giant on the floor of Congress.
Abraham Lincoln failed to make both
ends meet by chopping wood ; he failed to
earn his salt in the galley-slave life of a
Mississippi flat-boatman; he had not even
wit enough to run a grocery ; and yet he
made himself a grand character of the
nineteenth century.
General Giant failed at everything ex
cept smoking cigars; he learned to tan
hides, but could not sell leather enough to
purenase a pair of breeches. A few years
ago he ‘brought up’ on ‘.op of a wood-pile,
teaming it to town for forty dollars a
month, and yet he is at the bead of a great
nation.
The lesson for every young man is this :
As long as you have the health, and have
power to do, go ahead. If you fail at one
thing, try another, and a third—a dozen
even. Look at the spider; nineteen times
it tried to throw out its web to a place of
attachment, and on the twentieth succeed
ed. The young man who lias the gift of
continuance is the one whose foot will be
able to breast the angry waters of human
discouragement.
Things I Want to Know.—A boy bor
rowed his mother’s scissors, and left them
on the floor when he was charged to put
them back in their place. He didn’t mean
to disobey; he merely forgot. He went out
to spin his top, and when tired of the sport
he put the top in his pocket and ran otf.
He remembered to pick up the top—l won
der why ?
This boy was charged to call at the gro
cery, on his way to school, and leave an
order; but the family waited in vain for
their dinner, because the order was not
left. The boy was very sorry, but he for
got. He remembered, however, to stop on
his way home and see about the new skates
that were expected at the hardware store.
I wonder why that errand wa? more easily
remembered than the other?
I want to know why it is so hard to re
member some things and so easy to remem
ber others? I’ve noticed that the things
wc remember are the ones we enjoy most,
and I wonder it the liking has not some
thing to do with the remembering? And
if this is so, are we not to blame for the
forgetting? because if we wanted to do
right, and meet all our duties, just as much
as we want to have a good time, we should
not be apt to forget.
Tour memory is a sentinel that should be
always on duty, and it is n poor excuse tor
the sentinel to say, ‘Oh, I was asleep!’ He
hat no business to be asleep, and you should
tench him better.
Wait.—Wait, busbind, beore you won
der audibly why your wife don’t get along
with the household re<ponsibilities“as your
mother did.” She is doing her best—and
no woman can endure that best to be slight
ed. Remember the long, weary nights she ‘
sat up with the little Italic that died; remem
ber the love and care she bestowed upon
you when you had that long fit of illness.
Do you think she is made ot cast iron? <
Wait-wait in silence and forb?arance, and :
the light wid come back to her eyes—the
old light of the old days. Wait, wife, before J
you speak reproachfully to your husband
when he conus home late, and weary and
“out ot sorts,” He has worked hard for j
you all dly—perhaps tar into the night;
he has wrestled, hand in hand, wi h care,
and selfishness, and greed, nnd all the de-i
mens that fellow in the train ol money muk-1

A Lamentable Fact.—ln an address of
Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken before a Grange
audience, he spoke of the want of educa
tion among the formers, and of the great
scarcity of reading among their families.
We know there is a great prejudice against
‘book learning’ among agriculturists, but
then we only have to compare the homes of
those farmers who take the papers and
those who do not, to see the vast superiori
ty of general information where the papers
are read. It is a crying shame that we
have so many valuable publications in the
South languishing for support, while the
cry is coming up that there is want of edu
cation among our farmers. Nothing makes
the country home so attractive as good
books and papers, and when they are print
ed right among us, we should take good
care that they do not languish and die.
There is no better evidence of the pros
perity of any community, whether agricul
tural, mechanical, or commercial, than the
support accorded its newspapers. It should
be a matter of pride with all our people to
give substantial support to the press of
their communities.
Tribute to a Mother.— Children,
look in those eyes, listen to that dear voice,
notice the feeling of even a single touch that
is bestowed upon you by that gentle hand 1
Make much of it while yet you have that
most precious of all good gifts, a loving
mother. Read the unfathomable love of
those eyes; the kind anxiety of that tone
and look, however slight your pain. In
after-life you may have friends, fond, dear,
kind friends; but never will you have again
the inexpressible love and gentleness lav
ished upon you which none but a mother
bestows. Often do I sigh in my struggle
with the hard world, for the sweet, deep
security I felt when, of an evening, nestling
in her bosom, I listened to some quiet talc,
suitable to my age, read in her tender and
untiring voice. Never can I forget her
sweet glances cast upon me when I appear
ed asleep; never her kiss of peace at night
Years have passed away since we laid
her beside my father in the old church yard;
yet still her voice whispers from the grave,
and her eye watches over me, as I visit
spots long since hallowed to the memory of
my mother. —[Lord Macaulay.
Only a Grain ok Sand. —A man who
for years had carried an old and cherished
watch about him, one day called on its
maker and told him it was no longer use
ful, for ft would not keep time correctly.
‘Let me examine it,’ said the maker; and
taking a powerful glass, he looked carefully
and steadily into the works, till he spied
just one grain of sand.
‘I have it,’ he said ; ‘I can get over your
difficulty.’
About this moment, by some powerful
but unseen power, the little grain, suspect
ing what was coming, cried out:
‘Let me alone 1 lam but a little thing,
and take up so little room, I can not possi
bly injure the watch. Twenty or thirty of
us might do harm, but I can not; so let
me alone.’
The watchmaker replied: ‘You must
come out, for you spoil my works, and all
the more so that you arc so small, and but
few people can see you.’
( Thus it is in the home One cross feel
ing, one hasty word, one angry look, may
mar and hinder the running of the perfect
machinery.
The Good and the Bad. —To day the
world is like a masquerade llich carnival
is being held, and men wear their masks,
and strut about, and we think that man a
king, and this a mighty Oriental prince, and
this a haughty Indian chief. But the time
isover for the masque; daylight dawns;
strip off your garnishings; every one of
you put on your ordinary garments. Who
goes out to the unrobing room with great
est confidence ? Why, the man who feels
that his next dress will be a for more glori
ous vestment. Who shall go to that dis
robing room with the greatest tremor?
Why, those who feel that the splendid
character they once wore will give place to
beggary and meanness; when tor robes
they shall have rags; for riches, poverty;
for honor, shame ; and for regal splendor,
hissing and reproach. If any of our read
ers seem to be what they are not, let them
be wise enough to think of the spade, the
shroud, and the silent dust; let every one
among us now nut his soul in the crucible,
and, as we shall test ourselves in the silence
of the dying hour, so let us judge ourselves
now.
The Way to Conquer.—‘l'll master it,’
said the axe, and his blows fell heavily on
the iron ; but every blow made his edge
more blunt, till he ceased to strike.
‘Leave it to me,' said the saw; and, with
; his relentless teeth, he worked backward
! and forward on its surface till they were all
worn down or broken ; then he fell aside.
‘Ha! ha!’ said the hammer; ‘I knew
you wouldn’t succeed; I'll show you the
way;' but at his fierce stroke, off flew his •
head, and the iron remained as before.
‘Shall 1 try ?' asked th * soft, small flame.
But they all despised the flame; but he i
curled gently round the iron, and embraced ;
it, and never left it until it melted under
his irresistible influence.
There arc hearts hard enough to resist
i the force of wrath, the malice of persccn
! tion, and the tury of pride, so as to make
I their acts recoil on their adversaries; but
’ there is a power stronger than any of these,
I and hard indeed is that hem t that can resist
; love. —[Child’s World.
j Begin Right.—l know a man near Pitts
burg, who is very rich now, though be was
very poor when a boy. He said his father
| taught him u* ver to play till all his woik for
; the day was finished, and never to spend
money till he had earned it. If he had but
a half an hour’s work to do in a day, he was
taught to do that the first thing, and to do
it tn half tin hour. Alter this was done ho
could play, and my young friends all know
he could play with a great deal more pleas
ure than if he had the thought of his unfin
ished work on his mind. He says he early
formed the habit of doing everything in its
season—keeping every thing in its place; and
it soon became perfectly easy for him to do
so. It is to such habits that he owes his
present prosperity. lam very happy to add
that he delights to do good with his riches,
and has many warm friends.
A Sad Blow. A Vicksburger who
prides himself on his choice language was
over in Louisiana the other day on business,
and stopping at a farm bouse to get a drink
ot water, the woman remarked that the crops
stood in great need of rain.
“Yes, rain is the great desideratum,” he
replied, as he handed the tin dipper back.
“Mary! Mary!’’ yelled the woman in loud
tones.
A white-headed girl of sixteen came out
of the back room in response to the call,
and the mother continued :
“Take a squar view of him, Mary! He
don’t look as if he knew enough to plow
cotton, and yet he just got off a word as
long as from here to the mule pen aid
back, and he maybe holdin’ on to more !”
The Vicksburger walked right away from
there.—[Vicksburg Herald.
Ministering.—Pure religion and unde
filed is “ministering,” not the other thing,
“being ministered unto.” It is handing over
the morning paper to another for first peru
sal. It is vacating a pleasant seat by the
fire for one who comes in chilled. It is
giving up the most restful armchair or sofa
corner tor one who is weary. It is moving
up in the pew to let the new comer sit down
by the entrance. It is rising from your place
to darken the blind when the sun’s ray
streams too brightly upon some face in the
circle. It is giving your own comfort for
another. This is at once true courtesy and
real Christianity. Il we mean to copy the
spirit of the Master, wc must be ready in
every relation of life and at every hourol
the day, to give up being waited upon, and
to practice this self-sacrificing, beneficent
and “ministering” graciousness of spirit and
conduct.
