A. GOOD STORY.
•
That I was in love was ae fact thatdid
not admit of a shadow of doubt. I de-
ported myself like a person in love; I
talked like a, person in. love; I looked
like a person in love, and felt like a per-
son in love. The affection that had
taken possession of my youthful heart
was no every -day one • , I felt sure , of
that. -There weren't irtords enough an
the English language to deseribe the
height, depth, length and. breadth of its
grandeur. It was destined to bee, graii&
accompapiment of the ages yet to be;
a fixed. principle throughout eternity;
planet of surpassing beauty in the broad
heavens of home affectione. My love was
retained I -the atrone.: yearnings of my
nineteen year old. heart were put out in
the clirection of the most beautiful
maiden in all shire, and the most
beautiful naaiden in all shire, in
return, sent the Yearnings of her heart
out to meet mine. Twice a week, as
-often as the weeks eft1110 round, I went
up to the old brown home of Dr. Stod-

Self Confidence. •
-Have confidence in yourself. It is
the grand stepping -stone to sueeess.
Don't' cast your burdens on other peo-
ple's shoulders. They have enough of
their own to carry. Do the hard. things
yourself, and not call upon your friends
to help you, Never say "1 can't," un-
less you are asked to do wrong, and
then say 2' I wen.'t," . and say it in a
voice of thunder, too, if you like.? When
anything right and necessary is to , be
done, the man who shirks the responsi-
bility with a weak " I,can't,"..is a cow-
ard. No matter though he may have
"marched up to the cannon's mouth"
and have been the. hero of a hundred
battles. He.who does not feel withip.
himself.the power to 'conquer fate, is
not a•man in the true sense of the word
is a puny apology for God's noblest
work, and his mother -would have been
better employed. in "making shirts for
shillings;" than in rearing him. Of
course itis a misfortune for him, since
he can never be any benefit to himself
or to anybody else. Heaven help the
worcian who marries him!
Somebody says, "Oh, I don't like
these self -conceited -folks !" MT friend,
self-conceit and. self-confidence are two
qualities as different as light and dark-
tess ; and though the self -conceited
than may not be the most agreeable .of
companions, we infinitely prefer him to
the creeping, cringing, craven -spirited
fellow who is never ready for an emer-
gency, and. who, like Uriah Heep,
spend's his life intrying to be "umble."
U.'he -man who says "I will do it'!"
who says it from his heart and _means
it; too -who bends his whole. 6nergy to
the work, almost always accomplishes
it;, .and then the people °all him
"lucky," and "successful," and all
that sort of thing, when,. in fact, his
" lutk " has been trought about by his
own persevering efforts, and by his con-
fidence in himself. Fortune, fickle
jade though she be, cleteets laziness and
cowardice ; and the roan • who sits
down with his hands in his pockets,
and " I can't " standing emit in big let-
ters from every angle of his body, will
never share her favors, unless some rich
old aunt dies and leaves him a legacy,
andlin nine casea out of tee. the old lady
will endow some other nephew who is a
true man.
Young men, have confidence in your-
selves, and in -the eaptteitieS Providence
has given you. Don't wait for' your
father Or your uncle, to give you a start
in the world -start _for yourselves!
Depend on nobody ! The tree which
leave agaiust its neighbor cannot with-
sta,M1 the blasts which leave the lone
pine on the bleak hill -top unscathed.
.Never be discouraged at failures'.
Stick to your o. bject. If obstacles rise,
trample them down; you will be the
strouger for it.. • 1,.le brave always to do
right. Nevet what people say,
and keep peace. between yourselves and
your conscience.

The WrOng Place.
A belated and rather poverty-striken
foot -traveller, whose -railway ticket was
good. on all country roads and cattle -
paths, stopped at a small inausion of
apparently four rooms and a kitchen ia
the Soutli Hill suburbs the other even-
ing to beg a night's lodging. As he
stood timidly knocking at the half -
opened. door he heard the shrill, com-.
manding tones of the lady of the house'
disposing the garrison for the night.
"Tommy, go hunt up Charlie and Ben
and tell them to go to the grocery and
tell your father to brieg Ella and. Wil-
lie right home, it' their bedtime, and
if they see Louise. on the way send her
to Miss Crozier's for Alice and Jim, and

while I am gone . you undress Mabel
and put her to bed, aud if Cousin Har-
ry comes} while -I am gone tell him he's

sighed and turned away so oppressed
with a feeling of over-crowdeduess that
he walked out iuto the country and
slept all uight in the middle of a prairie
