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. name for W( a’ ing a pleasant face ami carrying a cheerful heart: for always doing right, no matter what we may .be. GOING HOME WITH SALLY”, j 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 fine, js school was dismissed, ami our “la dy-love” suitably bonneted and cloaked, we approached to offer our -ei vices as . < utem- i plated, mid wo then knitted an itnportan. ' lesson, viz: the difference between reside ■ ing and doing. As we neared her to put I our resolution into execution, we seemed ( to be stricken with a sutl ten h ndti-'-s; then red, given nr ; yellow light? tiashe I I across our v;-iou, and appeared and di-ap penred !ik<* witches in phantasm :g qia.— ' Our knees stn :e together like Behhnr’u > and <a.r heart thumped with .qq tri m’y as much foice us if it were »’tbmg tciq . nails into our ribs! We, iu the r cai.t..- i having reached Sally’s side, managed i mumble over something which is ptrlmp -1 known to the recording angel, but surely is not to us, at the sama time nuking out our elbow as nearly at rig in angles with cur breast as our physical contortion could po'- sibly permit. ; 'lpie first feeling over, what wa> onr de light to find the object of our love clinging to our arm with all the tenacity adrownim. man is said to clutch a straw. Talk of , Elysium, or sliding down greased rain: .*. >. or feeding on flutes, what are such “pht»e!- ings” in comparison wi h those nr./uty 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 . us ! bow soon we were to be reminded that | “the course of true love never did run ’smoothe!” J Sally Lad a brother of some ten summers j who accompanied us along the way, and ■ who was in wonderful high soirils at the j idea of his sister’s having a beau ; and he j would circulate arcut.-t m every n- w a..J 1 then, giggling in the Lit?’'; of bis glee and. ■ examining us as closely at it I’ ally and o i • self was the world-ienowuru Siam'.:--; <twins, j and he was taking his firot look.

At length we arrived at the bars, ann !' while we were letting them down, Bill shot : past us and tore for the fioyse a.- if pur; ued *by a thousand bulls of Bash -n.

Jim Clark is coinin’ | home with Sall!” s “Is he ?” screamed the old woman in re r ply. “Wall, I declare 1 I didn’t think the ’ sap-head knew enough.” i Reader, we didn’t go in. 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.” cnATLLrS A.
