Be Wise=s i hadalaxittas,tb Young Men
Going to Seek their Fortune in a Oity.
BY REV. JOHN HAIL, D., D,, NEw TORKK..
Be wise about your dress. It is your.
-first introduction, by which ,you are mental-
ly measured by the gentleman as he opens
the cover of the other --in- writing -which
you hand him. Do not be slovenly. Nev-
er be filthy, for reasons of every kind.
Never be showy. It is 'all wrong if the..
most memorable thing about you when you
have gone be an amazing breast pin, or a,
s
surprising vest. It will be mui';h better- it
the gentleman " really does not remember
how you were got up."' It is a pretty good
rule never to be in tne van of fashion, and
nevers,to hold on to style •whichs nearly. all
other men have dropped. Here, but not
everywhere, the Latin proverb iis.in point :
"In the middle ;you are safest.'`. A wise
mother or sister, or a sensible 'female friend;
is no mean authority on points of this kind.
THE BOARDING 1OUSE.
Be wise about your boarding -place. Hav-
ing found those that suit your means, con-
sider the sort of people with whom you are
to associate., And when you are settled in
such a temporary home, live in it ak if all
the city looked at you hourly. Youare
working- your character there. You need
not be rich, or make a figure, or be accom-
plished, or brilliant,but you can` be modest
kind, obliging, gentle -in fact a gentleman..
USEYO;r MONEY.
Be
wise about your money. Never live
-onthe extreme edge of your income. Save
a little. It will teach you self-control.-
-
Don't learn to feel -unhappy until you have
bought something, when you have $3 net
immediately wanted'. Do not. go in.. debt.
for any 'common cause,' -" The borrower is
servant to the lender." Be sparing in laying
out on yourself, and generous when 'conn -
forts for " the old folks at home," or the
youngsisters, are concerned. Give of all you
possess to God, on principle and plan. As
the Sabbath, given honestly ,to God, blesses
all the week from Monday morning till
Saturday night, 'so the proportion' given to
•God makes all • that is left go farther.—, -
Never bet ; never gamble in any form, even
in the lottery at a church fair." .Tell the
-most charming, canvasser for it, that it is
not fair, and that you are :-" principled " on,

you less—perhaps will wish her brother did
likewise. Gambling is a short cut to de
struction. One hears of a lucky chance
that set up or kept up a scamp, but only
now and then of the dozens whose means
leaked out invisibly nobody knew how—
no one but the scoundrel that plucked the
silly pigeons. " What is hit is history,
what is missed- is mystery." Do not assess
yourself with taxes for tobacco or drink.
Numbers of excellent -people pass through
life irreproachably, without either of these.
Is it true that retailers of drink sell over
the counters to casual callers fourteen hun-'

Exhibition of a Lady Swimmer
A novel- acquatic exhibition was .given at
the Brooklyn Swimming Academy The
feature of the occasion was ' the` appearance
of Miss Sarah E. Brewer, the celebrated
swimmist, who gave an "exhibitian;of her
powers," in the presence of a larg3 cnceourse
of spectators. The exercises opened with a
race betweer several young men with Da-
vis' patent life-saving apparatus, the -con
testants being amatuers, and after this came
a duck race, which created much merriment
among all who witnessed it. Miss Brewer
then appeared and •displayed her proficiency
as a swimmist iii numerous feats, which el-
icited loud applause, and which fully sus-
tained her reputation {aa an. -adept _ •it;the
•
accomplishment. ` Ii7iimerous other fetes en-
sued, and the affair wound up by a "friend-
ly set-to" in the water. by " a couple of ex-
perts,. who were at home in this sport even
if they were thei nselves. out of their natural,
element. This exhibition excited a great
deal of interest, and the assemblage dis-
persed well pleased with the entertainment
which had been' afforded them.

Hindoo Ascetics.
All over India wandering ascetics are t
be found—among the inost remarkable o
whom are the Bairagee and the Job . - Ther
names imply respectively that the specia
object of the former sect is to subdue al
.
earthly passion ; of the latter, to attainb
contemplation, to union with God, but .it
each case the means adopted are the nlinutb
est and sometimes severest 'for• ms of religl-
ous asceticism. It is.more than .2,000 year
ago that the spirit of self sacrifice and c

Snakes' Antipathy to -Fire -
There is in Brazil a very common poison-
ous snake, the s`urucue, respectin,i : yhich•.
the inhabitants relate the' folio ig.:,Yfaz; `
They say that: such is the anipailito s.
reptile to fire, !that. when" fires are made in
the clearing away ''of woods,,they•.ru's'h -into
it, scattering it with their tailsmtil it' is .
extinguished, o given' becoming half :roasted'

dual is passing at night with .a torch, they
pass and re -pass hi e, lashing•him with their
tails till lie drops it, and the snake is im-
mediately found; .closely coiled round the
extinguished torch. The greatest,enerny of

SP HERO LOCOMOTION --THE FAST FREIGHT
OF THE FUTUSE.- -A project is on foot for
rapid -transportation of freight by means of
hollow_spheres to be propelled through a
-pneumatic tube. 4. company has been re-
cently organized to carry it into practical
effect. It is claimed that the products of
the country can be transported to and. from
`all parts of the country in a few hours in-
stead of days, and at. a trifling cost. Tule
new vehicle requires :,a perfect road -bend or
