Better Late than Jlcvcr.
Life Is liko a race wlieie some succeed
While others are bogmuiug,
’Tis luck in some, in others speed,
That givos an early winuing ;
But if you chance to fall behind,
Ne'er slacken your endeavor ;
Just keep this wholesome truth in mind—
“’Tis better late than never!”
And if yon keep ahead 'tis well,
But never trip your neighbor;
'Tis noble when you can excel
By honest, (anient labor ;
But if you are outstripped at last,
Press on as bold as ever ;
Remomber, though you arc surpaasod,
“ 'Tis better late than never t”
Ne’er labor for tfn idle boast
Or victory o’or another ; y
But while you strive uttermost,
Deal faiijy with a brother ; ;/
Wbate’er your station, do your best,
Aud hold your purpose ever ;
And if you fail to do tbo rest,
“ ’Tis better late than never.”
Choose well the path in which you run—
Succeed by double daring,
Then, though ibe last, when once 'tis wou,
Your crown is worth the wearing.
Then fret tot if le f t behind,
Nor never slack your endeavor,
But ever keep this truth in mind—
“’Tis better late than never !’’
MEW FLRAITIUE.
A Wife Worth Having.
“Wife,” said Edward Lincoln, as be
settled bimself ou the sofa, one evening
af.er tea, “we must have some new fur
niture for this parlor, there’s no two
ways about it; ours is getting to look
decidedly shabby.”
“Do you think so?’’ quietly replied
Mrs. Lincoln. ‘I thought it looked
very comfortable aud nioo here,” aud
her eyes glanced with a bousekeept r’s
pride over the room, which did wear an
aspect of tasto and comfort, though ev
ery articlo of furuituro was the same
which was bought at the time of their
marriage, ten years before.
Nothing was new ; but the ingrain
carpet was of bright, fresh colors, and
of suoh graceful pattern that it was
pleasing to the eye ; there were a large,
well—fi led book-case, some pre tty cu
gravings scatured about on the walls
and side-tables, and the centre-table,
with iis brightly burning solar-lain; >
its lk-Ue vase of flowers, and its work
table, books and papers, wnre t!i» e< zi
cst look imaginable ; while the sofa on
. .
which Edward Lincoln was lying, though
covered with expensive material, tita’cb
ed the carpet and paper, and 1 Joked the
very picture of case and comfort. Re
fined taste and culture were visible in
the arrangement of every article, as weii
as the hand of the neat, and thrifty
house wile ; well might Mrs. Lincoln
say, “tvery thing looked nice and com
fortable.”
“Why, yes, comfortable enough, per
haps,” rejoined her husband, “but bo
old-fashioned, and behind the times !
There’s John Waters has just had both
his parljrs newly furnished, and I Oan
tell you, llele», things lrok elegant
there. The carpets and curtains are re
ally splendid, and the sofas and chairs
are covered with damask of a beau
tiful pattern. I havn’t seen anything
so handsome for a long time ; ours look
ed dingy enough when I came home.
After a little pause ho added, “I know
Johu Waters isn’t any better able to
furnish his house in that style than 1
am j and the Brights and Bennetts, too,
what rich and costly furniture they have!
The truth is, HelSn, I don’t think you
are quite ambitious enough about the
appear of things. I have made money
in my business the last live years, and
we can really afford now to live more
like other people. Dm’t you feel a lit*
tic mortified sometimes when callers
come ?”
“Not at all, Edward, because I know
everything is in good taolu aud nice or
der j and as wo make no pretensions to
elegance we are not ridiculous, if we
are plain. But,” she said, laying her
hand softly in her husband's, “I am am
bitious of one thing, dear Edward ; it is
to make a happy home for jgu and the
children. If 1 fail here, I shall indeed
be bitterly disappointed.”
“O, Helen, certainly oflr home is ofic
o' the dearest and best in the w hole
wide world ; and I know it is your self
denying industry and affection that
makes it so No bis home
better than I do, but,” ho added laugh
ingly, “I do think it might be made a
trifle happier by some Brussels carpet
ing, and damask sofas and curtains.”
“I d-m’t thiofc so,” said Helen, “and
that is why I cling so fondly to this dear
ola furniture; it is so bome-like, so
full of charming and tender associations.
Home might be made more stylish,
more showy aud brilliaDt, but not more
happy —l doubt that. How cold and
cheerless that elegant parlor of the Ben
nett’s looks, 7 It is too handsome to be
us-'d, and the eh ait a sad even the
very books and vases on the centre-ta
ble, have a toueb-me not eompany look
about them; aud instead of having &
chocrful sitting-room, as they once had,
they dow keep in that dingy diuing
roorn, except when callers come; And I
daro say, poor Jehu Waters won’t get
half so comfortable naig iu that magtiif
ioeut lounging chair, as he did in the
old chintz covered one. No, l really
believe their home happiness will be
lessened, rather than increased by the
change.”
“I don't want things too good to u p;
I confess that would be foolish. Bit 1
should use them, if they were bandsom
ur.”
“ Would you ? Just fancy yourself,
you Lzy man, stretched out on one of
superb crimscn damask sofas; you
oould{/« do it comfortably to save your
life, and you need not pretend you
could,” Helen with a merry laugh.
“Why, I don’t dare oven to put anew
chintz-cover on this old sofa, lest you
should feel a little out of place ”
“Nothing but your economy, Helen,
your awful economy. It has bet-a the
making of me, I know ; and a poor mis
erable fellow, I should have been but
for yoar industry aud judicious com s-.-l;
but we arc no longer poor, we Lava a
good income, aud cun aflurd some luxu
ries.”
“So we can ; and I too want luxuries;
hut what is a luxury, Edward ? Is it
not a great luxury, to be C zy and com
fortable, more than showy and elegaia 1
Is it n it a luxury to knuw that wc owe
uo man anything; that we are laying
by sometning every year for iho chil
dren,” but then she said with a tender
touc of voice, and a tear shoring iu her
soft biue eye, “it is such a luxury to
help those poorer thin we ? O! what
a heart-satisfying pleasure it was to set
tle the W oods on that liitlo farm last
year, and to be able to cairy flannels,
fuel and food to uiauy poor oick people.
l>o let us lo.k at things as they are
and not through other people’s eyes.—
We do not want mire costly furniture
for our enjoymeut, it is ODly that other
people may admire it, aud what a poor
g: atifieaiiou is that, compared with what
other pleasures cau bring '■ Wjy it was
only to-duy I was thinking it seemed
almost wrong for us to be to fully grat>
itying every taste aud wish when there
was so much sufl ring iu the world, so
many shivering wi h cold, so many lay
ing on sick beds without the little com
forts they need, aud above all, so many
sunk iu vico and degradation, who per
haps might be saved by the baud of
charity held to iLeui. 0, Edward,
those words of Joous about self-denial,
must have some us who re
fuse to bo his disoiples. Whou 1 look
at things in this light, it docs sceni to
me that if wo bad one cr two hundred
dollars to expend, it might be belter in
vested than iu furisi'ure. ’
“I believe you are right, Helen. —
You always see the light more clearly
than 1 do, Still it cauuot be wrong to
indulge our tastes to some extont, aud
to enjoy what is beaudful in nature aud
art.”
“To enjoy what is ready beautiful is
a different thing from being merely fash
ionable, from having costly dresses
and furniture, which are oftener :n bad
taste than good. Still Ido not believe
we ought to bo self-indulgrnt even in
these lines The poor and ignorant
have a claim upon us, which should bo
met b fore we gratify even our inno
cence and laudable tastes. Don’t you
think so ?”
“Undoubtedly, but wbero arc wo to
dra-v the line between a proper aud im
proper indulgence of taste ? ’
*‘\Ve caunot draw it for others, but
conscience, I think, is a safe guide for
ouißems. If on the same day we see
a beautiful picture and a poor, sick wid
ow, suffering for want of nccessaiics, if
we cau’t do both, I think conscience
would tell ns to relieve the poor, suffer
ing sister first; and, if we did, would not
the thought of her, n.adc com'ortabie
by our assistance, be a luxury to us, as
as we lay down on our beds that night ?
Should we not by that means obtain a
beautiful, bright picture, to lie soft and
warm io our hearts, thuugh we had none
to bang ou the wall ? I should liko a
wholo gallery of such pictures, Edward,
aud we should Cud more enjoyment iu
them than iu the Cucstcil paintings.”
“But still, Ileleu, 1 believe Yu having
pictures, both kinds if we can.”
“So do I; for cultivating one's taste
for art is sueh a diff-rent thiuj from
getting upholstery. I do ready think
there is something low and vulgar in
making a display of fine furniture, and
iu trying to be smarter than oar Deigh.
fcors. It is in this love ot display that
the essential vulgarity of Americans, so
obvious to foreigners, consists, no other
nation has so much of this foolish rt
! valrv, aud =c touch courting ofpopu’ar-
Dy, end it is certainly very ridieu!"'J3 to
sacrifice time, ease and money, as we do ‘
to outshine our neighbors. I am din
gustsd with it, and long to have more
simplicity yrevail among us—for sim
plicity is, after all, the truest cleganoe.’
“Why, Helen, how you do comedown
on a poor body ? You make mo out
scifLh, unfeeling nnd unchristian, just
because I want to smarten up a little;
and as if all these Were not enough, you
cap the climax by making me out vul
gar too. And so I suppose I am to be
compelled to live in tho old bund-nm,
home way, looking as old fashioned as '
Time in the primer, because my little 1
wife always manages to get the better cf
me in argument.”
“Because your little wifo knows you
aro quite as anxious to do right as shrj
aod becauso your views and hots really
coincide. 0, Edward, don’t think be
cause I preach so much, that J consider
uiyself better than others. I don’t live
up to my theories, and every day I feel
reproved, whon I Boe how courageous
and cheerfully you go to your daily la
bor, working hard from morning till
night,and then coming home,so thought
ful of me, so gentle and cheerful, if you
are ever so tired, while Iso ofleu get
impatient and irritable.”
“And why am Iso cheerful ? Why
oan 1 toil so faithfully ? Because I
have sueh a blessed homo to come to,
such a loving wife to labor for 1”
Aud he drew the true and gentle
wife beside him, and encircled her with
an embrace as full of devotion and loa
derness as ever lover gave bis mistress,
while his eyes beamed with joy and
pride as he gazed upon her sweet faee,
blushingly up-turued to meet his gaze.
* * * * * *
A yrar hns passed away, nnd wo
enter again the Lincoln’s parlor. It is
little changed ; the same air of perfect
neatness and comfort prevails; no
showy damask curtains nor velvet so
fas, nor tapestry carpets have been in
troduced ; there are two choice pia
turos added, nnd tho ait is fragrant
with the breath of some rare flowers
which uto blooming on a stand by the
southern wiudow. Helen Lincoln is
alone, and a shadow rests on her fair,
matronly face, as if sad thoughts filled
her mind as she eita and sews But it
brightens as her husband's step is
heard in the ball.
• O, Helen’ be exclaimed, when ho
had warmed himself by the bright open
grate—“it is a great deni worse than
I expected; everything is gone ; the
stock is all under mortgage, so is the
house arid furniture ; and vet the whole
will he but a drop in the bucket; there
ie no entl to the claims that come in ;
yes, John Wa'ers is a ruined mun 1 —
He can’t pay ten cents ou a dollar for
what he owes.”
“What will become of his family ?”
said Helen. “Poor thjngs; they have
been so litdo accustomed to any sor
row or haidships ; they are ill fitted to
encounter them."
“Yes, that is true; and the cradit
oj s seem to blame him for living so ex
travagantly.”
“But let us ho cbarilntde, Edward,
they have but done as hundieds of oth
ers have, and what every one, almost,
praised them for doing at the time.—

Advertise.— Oh, advertise ;it has
many fortunes made, and brought many
obscure, desponding men to riches, fame
and trade. Many a man, whose car
riage rolls in splendor past your door,
owes all he has to one faot, ho advertis
ed his store. We can not tell what wo
can do, until our sign is out, and ever
ybody is made aware of what we aro
about. So our advice is—advertise !
Don’t ’neath the bushel hide; bring out
yonr light before the world, and let the

Arlhur P. Wright, E-q., says the
Thomaav’llle Eut-rprise, planted last fall
100 acres of land in oata. Tho oold, he
thinks, killed ono half the stand, and
six acres of the field were old worn out
soil covered with broomsedge, and Mr.
Wright considers G 5 acres of tho land
very fair. He has now harvested the
crop and informs as that ho has housed
12000 bundles averaging in weight 3J
pounds or 42000 pounds in round num
bers. Multiply this by 75 cents the
value of oafs per hundred in this mar
ket, and Mr Wright male $3,150,00
on oa’s with an expense of less than
$150,00.
The Enterprise also rays Mr. AVright,
has three-eights of an acre in Boyd's
Prjliflo cotton which is about waist
high and will average a hundred forms

Mean Men.— Henry Ward Beech
er says oi mean men ; 1 1 have great
hope of a wicked man; slender hope
of a mean ono. A wicked mati tfiay be
cuDVorfcd nnd become a prominent
saint. A mean man ought to be con
verted 6ix or seven times, one right
after the other, to give him a fair start,
arid put him on an equality with ahold
wicked man. I have known men who
thought tbo object of convention was
to cleanse a garment is
c’oansed, and that when they are con
verted they aro to be hung up in the
Lord's w ardrobe, the doof of which
was to be shut, So that no dust could
get at 'hem; A coat that is not used,
the moths ent. ; ands chri. tian who is
hung up bo that he shall not be tempt
