We often hear little boys telling of
| the wonders they will do when they
j grow to be mon. They are looking and
longing for the time when they shall
be large enough to cany a cane and
wear a tall hat; and not one of them
will say that he expects to be a poor
man, but they every one intend to be
rich. Now money is very good in its
place; but let me tell you, little boys,
what is a great deal better than money,
and what you may be earning all the
time you are waiting to grow large
enough to earn a fortune. The Bible
tells us that “a good name is rather to
j be chosen than great riches, and loving
I favor rather than silver and gold.”
' A good name does not mean a name
i for being tho richest man iu town, or
I for owning the largest house. A good.

Jk .Little Sketch of Other Days.
On<. bright moonlight winter’s night in
the days of “lung syne,” when school
houses, cheap schoolmasters and blue beach
rods were the only instrumentalities used
' for teaching the “young idea how to shoot,”
wo chanced to attend a “spelling school”
in a certain rural district, the geological re
lations of which is not necessary to men
tion. ’Twas there, however, where our
L eyes first fell upon a “fain form,” that im
mediately set our suscepti! lo heart in a
| blaze. iShe was sixteen or thereabout, with
I bright eyes, red cheeks an 1 cherry lips,
while tho auburn ringlets clustered in a
wealth of profusion around her beautiful
head; and her person, to our ravished im
agination, was more perfect in form and
nutline than the most faultless statue ever
i chiseled by the sculptor's art. As we
gazed, our feelings, whi. h had never be-
■ fore aspired girlward (We were scarcely
eighteen), were fully aroused, and we de
termined to go home with her that night
or peri-h in the attempt. As soon, there

dy-love” suitably bonneted and cloaked, we
approached to offer our -ei vices as . < utem-

ones that swelled our t o.- m nigh i :.t ■
bursting off our waistcoat buttons! Our
happiness was simply ecstatic, ami every
young lady or gentleman who has fe’t tho
mighty throbbingsof a newly-pledged lore,
' will completely understand that common
* word.
Well, we walked on pleasantly toward
Sally’s home, conversing very cosily and
sweetly as wo passed along, until so coura
geous did we become that wo actually pro*
I posed “to go and sit awik,** to which our
dulcinca very graciously assented, Alas for

i NOW.
I If I were to give you a motto to go thro’
Hile with—otic that would stand you fora
J warning and counsel in any straight in
i which you might find yourselves, I ould
i give it in this one word, “Now.”
1 Don’t waste your time, and your strength
( and your opportunities, by always meaning
!to do something—do it. Only weakness
I comes of indecision. Why, some people
* have «o accustomed themselves to this way
jof dawdling from one thing to another,
I that it really seems impossible for them to
j squarely make up their minds to anything
r They never quite know what they mean to
do next, their only pleasure seems tocon
si.-.t in putting things off as long as possible,
and then dragging slowly through them,
rather than doing anything else.
Don’t live a single hour of life without
doing exactly what is to be done in it, and
going straight through it from beginning
to end. Work, play, study, whatever it is,
take bold at once and finish it up squarely
| ane cleanly, and then to the next thing
without letting any moments drop out. be
tween. It is wonderful to see how many
hou ,- .s these prompt people contrive to make
of a day ; it’s as if they picked up the mo
ments that, the dawdlers'.lest. And if you
i ever find yoprself so many
things pressing th.atJoS'liardiy know how
io begin, let me tell you a secret: take hold
I of the very first one that comes to hand,
| and you will find the rest all fall into file
I and lolluw after like a company of well
’ drilled soldier.- ; and tbough work may be
Ihard to meet when it charges in a squad, it
is easily vanquished when brought into line.
You may have often seen the anecdote of
the man who was asked how he accom
plished so much in hi* life. “My father
taught me,” was ’the reply, “when I had
any thing to do, to go and do it! ’ There
1 is the secret —the magic word “Now.”
