Manhood's Yesterday. 4 I'm sad to -day, And so my lay Shall be uf boyhood—yesterday When I a child Went romping wild in wookland path where sunshine smiled. Among the herds And merry birds . I wandered with my gladsome words, And all daylong I warbled song To nature and her kindred throng. With tousled hair And feet MI bare I gathered flowers everywhere, And was not shorn For then no thorn Had from my cheeks the dimples torn. I gamboled on The velvet lawn At evening's tide, at days first dawn ; I danced and sang Till hoasehold rang With laughter at my bantering. I climed the trees. And chased the bees From stealing honey there with ease; I planted flowers Through all the hours And watched them nurtured by the showers. Thus in ahaze My boyhood days Have passed, and I can only gaze, . eBut never gee Their rhapsody Save now and then in memory. For wrinkles now Have plowed my brow, And weighty care hits shown me how It Iota eit a trace On boyish face As age comes on to take its place. I must. not grieve, For I believe God ezarreers all, and so will sheave Both young and old On fields of gold When he the future does unfold. ' George Glyndon. A Suspicious Man. A suspicious man, who acts as if every person would cheat him if he could, is often the dupe of his own cleverness, DeWitt, the Dutch statesman of the sev- enteenth century, gained victories over foreign diplomatists by telling the truth. They thought his frankness a cloak to hide his real purpose, and wasted their skill in trying to discover and thwart it. The following story illustrates the duping power of undue snspicion. A farmer living in the Connecticut Valley had a'fine cow which a neighbor- ing farmer had tried in vain to buy. One day the cow failed to give milk, and. was attacked by spasms, which, with other ailments, made her worthless as a milker. " Wife," said the farmer one Morn- ing, "we shall have to sell our cow after all." "-Yes, if we can sell,her." " Well, Neighbor B will buy her. He's been after her for a long time. " You don't suppose he wants a worth- less cow, do you ? "No, but I'm tired of having him tease me to sell her. The next time he comes I shall tell him I have concluded to sell." "But you know the cow isn't worth a tenth of what she cost." • "I know it. But I shall be honest and frankly tell him so." Within a week old B drove into the barn -yard. "Good morning, neigh- bor," said he, "I hear that you are go- ing to sell the cow I like so well." " Well, yes, wife and I have conclud- ed to get rid of her. She doesn't give any -milk, and we have no more Use of her. Possibly she may improve with a change of pasturage, but I doubt it." "Doesn't give any milk, eh ?" " No ; and she was, as you know, an unusually good milker." " Umph ! Yes. Well, look here! buy her any way. The fact is I've taken a fancy to the breed." THE HURON EXPOSITOR. "No, that's a fact, but I look as good as I can, and you don't." "Here, you, don't you want a job ?" said a young man carrying two large Valises. Both boys started, but one valise was handed to Billy, with the re- mark, "Come along." Toby looked after them, and muttered, Billy's right. If a feller ain't clean nobody wants him about." He stood still, but finally started at a briskj run down the street, and stopped befoi7e a fire hydrant that leaked. Soon his face and hands were as clean as water would make them. •He brushed his hair with his fingers, sat down on the curb, and laced his shoes as far aa the strings would go, then took off his jack- et and shook it. When his toilet was completed he went back ta the old cor- ner to wait for 'Billy. "Ah, see/ the dude l" was the first word Billy said. An angry flush crept into Toby's face, but there was such honest admiration in Billy's eyes that Toby could not be angry. "Here boys, I'm tired. Will you each take •a valise ?" And -the same young man who had employed Billy stood before them. "You just better believe we will, mister,"said Billy as they each took one. Billy looked at Toby as much as to say," You see I'm right. , Achievements by Young Men. Many great deeds, whether of mind or actipn, have been performed by young men, as the following examples will show; David, son of Jesse, was only twenty-two years old when he took with him only his shephertl's sling and five smooth stones, selected swith care, and slew the giant, whom he beheaded with his own great sword. Alexander the . Great's accession to the throne took place when he was only twenty years old. Having crossed the Hellespont, he won the battle of Granicus when he -was twenty-two, and having conquered the world—until, it is said, he wept because there were no other countries to subdue —died at the early age of thirty-three. Raffaele Sanzie, the most illustrious of painters, produced one of his finest works—a "Holy Family"—at the age of seventeen, and before he was twenty- one had produced "The Coronation of the Virgin," now in the Vatican, and the " Marriage of the Virgin," now in Milan. He died at the age of thirty. Michael Angelo—sculptor: painter, scholar and poet—was so highly distin- guished that in 1490, at the age of six- teen, he was invited by Lorenzo the Magnificent to live at his palace at Flor- ence, and there pursue his art. Nicolo Paganini was the most wonderful player on the violin, not only in his own day, but of all time. When he was twenty- one years old he made a professional tour through Italy ,beginning at Lucca, in which city, at the age of fourteen years, he had first played in public with great success, and was considered a musical wonder. William Chambers, the founder of the great publishing house of Edinburgh, coining out of his apprenticeship at nine- teen years with five shillings capital, set up a book stall with 1:10 worth df books, all bought on credit. Byron's first vol- ume, called "Hours of idleness," early and. rather indifferent poems, appeared when he was nineteen years of age. He was twenty-one years old when, roused to anger by a very sarcastic notice in —the Edinburgh _Review, he produced that vehement and ably responsive satire, "English Bards' and Scotch Review- ers." Then he spent some time in foreign travel, and on his return, in 1812, his " Childe Harold" was pub- lished. He did not exaggerate when he said of that poem; 'I awoke one morn- ing and found myself famous." He died at the age of thirty-six years, at which early age, Robert Burns, the great peas- ant bard of Scotland, had also "shuffled off this mortal coil." Pope's "Essay on Criticism" was _published before his twenty-first year, and his most success- ful effort, the "Rape of the Lock," as- sumed its complete -shape in his twenty- sixth year. The "Pleasures of Hope" was written by Thomas Campbell before he was twenty -years old, and " Gertrude of Wyoming when in his thirteenth year. Schiller, at the age of twenty.two, gave to the world his tragedy of the Robbers (composed when he was only seventeen). The public received it with great en- thusiasm. He died at the ags of forty- five. " Thanatopsis, of William Cullen Bryant, appeared when he was twenty- two, and wan written at nineteen. His first publication was a_ satire, when he was only fourteen. The late S. S. Pren- tiss, who died at the early age of forty- two, achieved -a success when he ex- hibited great powers of oratory in Con- gress, to which he had been elected at the age of twenty-five. Pitt was, Prime Minister of England at the age of twenty-four, and Macaulay became a member of Parliament at thirty, and established a high reputation for elo- quence by his maiden speech. It is worthy of notice that two great warriors of the present century were born in 1760, doomed to compete with each other, and distinguished themselves early. Napoleon Bonaparte was com- mander of the army of Italy in Febru- ary, 1796, before be had reached tbe age of twenty-seven, and first consul at the age of thirty ; while Wellington had established his military reputation in India by the time he was thirty-four. When the great commanders met on the field of Waterloo neither was forty-six years old. Gouvernegr Morris was admitted to pratice at the New York bar at the age of nineteen. At twenty-four he was in the _ New York legislature, and at twenty-five a member of the Continental Congress, and served on important com- mittees. He it was who first _conceived the idea of our admirable decimal cur- rency, which has been adopted in the United States. He also played an im- portant part -in making the constitution under which we now live. He served as minister to France, and was the only member of the diplomatic: corps who re- mained in Paris during the reign of ter- ror, an act the more courageous because he was known to be in cordial sympathy with the fallen kiwi. In a letter to John Parish in ISM he distinctIy- sug- gests the Erie Canal. He died in 1816, aged sixty-five. Among the curious pro- visions of his will was the following : "In case my wife should marry, I give her $600 more per annum to defray the increased expenditure which may attend that conneetion." W hen Walter Scott was eleven years old he attended the high school of Edin- burgh. Dr. Adam, the head master, would constantly refer to him for dates, " But she hasn't given any milk for two weeks, and I don't think she ever will again. Besides, she is in poor health, generally, and it's possible she may not recover." "Mr. B— instantly thought, "He's too frank. It's his intention to keep me from buying the cow. Anyway, I don't believe a word he says about the ani- mal." So he said, "See here! I'll give you so much for her," naming a sum equal to more than half of the cow's original cost. Bat she isn't worth it, Mr. B , I tell you I shouldn't be surprised if she died within a month." " Nonsense ! I'll risk it ! " Here," and Mr. B— pulled out the money. " Bring out the cow and I'll take her right home with me." The owner of the cow hesitated at first, but finally brought out the cow. B paid the money and took her home, chuckling to himself, " I can see a few things if I haven't got eyes in the back of her head." In less than a month the cow, which had not given a drop of milk in that time, died. B— was furious, but he knew he_had neither a legal nor a moral clam for damages, and.for once in his life he was ashamed. In a few days, however, he received the following note from his neighbor: "You see I was telling the truth about that cow. To show it I return the money !" Billy's Way. I don't see any use of a fellow wash- ing his face and combing his hair when hes gat to put on old clothes, just ready to fall to pieces, even if that man at the club said so. I look so ragged no one will trust me to carry a bundle, and no one wants me in their office. I'm tired try- in.' to get something to do. " - "if nIle, cullie ! what's up? You look as glum as if you'd been feel on vinegar. - "1 ain't fed on anything—that's one thing is the ma.tter. ' said Toby. "-Well, I wish I could help you, ben -t -i ain't had any breakfast meself," said Billy. " I warn't in luck yester- day." "Where did you sleep?" " Over there,' and Billy pointed to the hallway of a house opposite. "6 Where did you ? "in that cart," and Toby showed Billy his shelter. " flow did you get washed and fixed?" "1 carried out a pail of ashes to the ash -boa for a woman. She wanted to give me a cent, and I said, No, ma'am, but let mu wash myself at the hydrant in the yard. She said yes,'and then I combed' my hair with this,- and Billy pulled out a broken comb. A feller's more likely to get work if he looks fixed up; said Billy. • "Ye ain't much fixed up," said Toby, lookine earnestly at the stumpy figure covered with odd garments either too large or too small. the particulars of battles, and other' re- markable events alluded to in Horace, -or whatever author the boys were read- ing, and used to call him the historian of the class: His first great poem, "The Lay of the Last Minstrel," was written in 1806, when he was thirty-five. Nine years- later he- pdblighed " Waverly" and he was nearly fifty'before his "Ivan- hoe" appeared.—Thoms.s J. Bowditch, in Troy Times. Women Workers. A gentleman who employs women took two of his employees as illustra- tions of two distinct types of working girls. Of his forewoman he says: "She istsatout German -American girl, with a heavy face and. a dumpy figure. She always attends to business. I have known her ever since she was a young girl doing embroidery for an up -town firm. We used to send her extra pieces to do, and she finally came to us alto- gether, because we paid her better. She has been in demand—personally sought after by employers—ever since she began, for she spends.- her whole strength in her work. Her dress is ex- tremely plain, and,she does not care ior gayeties. She has no ruinous diversions of interest to prevent her from attend- ing to the matters of -first importance. On the other hand," he continued, "we have, off and on, in our embroidery - room, a pretty girl Who will never" amount to anything. Her ideas of life are misshapen. She is a clever enough embroidress, but she works half-heart- edly, and only when she feels inclined. She won't undertake this piece, and she says she can't do that. She is always asking favors and -doing little irregular- . ities that are harmless enongh, but dis turbing to business. Her one ambition is dress. She really is, in her way, a ladylike person. She is neat, and clothes herself in good taste, with no display, but in a 'style far above her _condition in life. Not a lady does shp see on the street but she looks at her dress and manners, and even listens to her speechto see what she can pick up to improve herself. The result is, the poor girl 'has cultivated sensibilities which make it unlikely that she will ever be contented with any home that might be offered her, and she has no strong-minded aspirations to independ- • cut prosperity. By devoting her en- ergy to unproductive channels the girl has made herself useless and unhappy. She is not thinking of how -her work appears, but of how she herself appears, and tries to gain admirationandingrati- ate herself personally, when what we want from her is not pretty manners, but a good piece of embroidery." Intelligent devotion and earnestness are always - necessary to make an em- ployee valuable to the employer, and to be successful as an employ ee there must be a love for the work, and an ambition to force both work and worker to the highest possible -attainment. Miss Helen Williams says, in " Women's Work ?" To believe in yourself is the begin- ning of life. Nobody can lift you per- manently unless you will believe in yourself. .,You -may be lifted momentar- ily by extraneous force, but you will drop back when that force is removed. To believe in one's self is the divinest object of faith, since it raises the sunk en, and infuses him with the breath of -life. --It puts him on his feet and en- (.ables him to look with level eyes into the eyes of his fellows."—Christian Disobedience To Parents. Is it not a fact that a young man who begins life by breaking his mother's heart, and besmirching his father's hon- oured name, usually ends a life of dis- grace in a grave of. dishonour? Prob- ably nine -tenths of our criminal class be- gan their downward career by disobey- - ing their!" parents. A few years ago, during the meeting of our general assem- bly, I visited Kingston penitentiary, along with some 'friends. We saw the seven hundred convicts marched to din- ner. The first exclamation on every lip was.: " Oh, what a large number of boys ! " Yes, there they were, scores of boys, mere lads—many apparently un- der twenty. Do you for a moment sup- pose that these lads would have been there in their convict's garb if they had obeyed their parents? Do I address any young man this evening who thinks it manly to disobey his parents? You are not going to be " bossed " by the governor—if I may use language avhich I understand the fast young. man of the period applies to his father—nor be kept in at night by his mother. Oh dear no ; that would be entirely too much restraint for - young Canada. Young Canada . in leading strings, for- sooth My young friends, I have a thing to say on this point. I have known several young men who talked just like you, to get shut up in a room a good deal smaller than the one their mother wanted them to stay in, before they went farin life—a room, that was ventilated by a small hole in its iron door, a- room they had no latchkey for. Staying out against the will of one's par- ents often leads to staying in altogether. Young man, if you have been guilty of this sin of disobedience to parents, I tell you to -night you are not safe, and I earnestly entreat you to reform at once. If you have brought . grief to your mother's heart, or shame to her cheek, or tears to her eyes, go down on your knees this very night, confess your sins to your Father in heaven, and from this time forward honour Our father and your mother._ IMPORTANT NOTICES.

The lake has just been re- filled and the fish have been restored to their old quarters. About 12,000 pike were put back, and several thousands of -carp-and eels. Many of the pike were. very large, some of them weighing forty pounds. There were shoals of tench and perch, and the carp were also of immense size. —A correspondent of the Berlin Volks-Zeitung corrects the report that the distinction of being the northern- most editor in the world .belongs to the Eskimo poet, L.

The frauds that have been perpetrated on the spectacle wearing public by most dealers and pedlars giving assumed and fancy names to ordinary glass, speaks for the ignorance of the public generally in the all important subject of the preservation of the sight. There are only two articles -from which spectacle lenses can be maunfactured, viz., -.Pebble and Glass. Call glass by any other name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, is from Nature's own manufactory. -It is natural crystal, found generally in freestone foundation, and is harder than the ruby and emerald, and nearly as hard as the diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparept stone, cut by the aicaof diamond dust, and the greatest amount of power is placed immediately over the centre of the grain found in all pebble. It will give to the spectacle wearer a coolness, freshness and a pleasant feeling that the ordinary spectacle lenses cannot by any possibility impart. All. Spectacles and Eye Glasses are stamped B.
