My business once called me to a. little town in the southern part of Holland, which had been fortress, and parts of its huge earthen ramparts are still stand- ing. It is situated at about one meter below the level of the see on the banks of a mighty river, which is formed by the Rhine and the Meuse and whose waters, broad and deep, Meuse, at a dist- ance of a few hundred yards feom the city gate. On either side of the river large dikes protect the land egainst inundations. To any one who has seen them the story of a school boy prevent- ing an inundation by stopping a hole in s. dike with his finger and holding it there until he got assistance appears ridiculous. These dikes are so broad and massive that they are used for high- ways. In fact, in Holland, all the raii. weys and many of the streets are built on dikes, because the land is low, and in many places so marshy that it cannot bear heavy burdens without being strenothened. The town I was in was so low that the tops of the houses are but little higher than thaprotecting dike and to a person sailing on the river hardty anything but the chimneys and steeples are visible. It had been a busy day for me and a tiresome one. When night came it did not take me long to fall asleep and a dreaming. I thought I was returning to Atherica, fancied myself, in the very last hour of the voyage, standing upon the deck of the ocean steaireihip, among a number of fellow-passengera who were as eager as I to set foot ashore of the be- loved home. We were entering the (look sailors ran to and fro 4 a shower of commands fell from the captain's bridge, though hardly audible through the noise ofsthe engine and the cries of the passengers and officers. There - boom 1 _What's that 1 A cannon shot? I awoke aurprised. - It was the same old-fashioned Bedroom, but the noise I had heard in my dream was not fancied. The whole town was in an uproar. In the hotel, too, I heard the people run- ning up and down, talking and crying, "There muet be a fire somewhere 1" I jumped out of bed and began dressing, but had hardly done so when the church bells began ringing. Then, again, a cannon shot -another one, two three. I rushed out of the room, down the stairs. Meeting a waiter, I asked him what had happened. ' Why, sir, don't you hear the guns ? The dike is brok- en" -and away he ran. -Corning down stairs, I saw the street crowded with people. Policemen ran up and down beating little alarm gongs. The bells e were still ringing, while in the soldiers' barracks they were beating the drums. Officers were busily dividing the people in groups of 100 each. and providing them with apades, sledgeh ammere, wheel- barrows, ropes, and chains; Each group, when counted and armed, was marched off to the river. I had hardly arrived in the street when an officer put a spade in my hand, and before I knew it placed me in one of the groups. I felt uncomfortable, for I was lightly dressed and did not know whether there was any danger ahead. But, then, the people around me ap- peared to have no fear. A few, with true Dutch calnaness, were quietly smok- ing their pipes, and .many women, and even boys and girls, were carrying spade or ax as well as any. Everything was done orderly and with as little noise as possible. Soon our group was ready; a squad of soldiers took the lead, and off we went. On the way I learned that a rise of the water had weakened a por- tion of the dike, then in repair; it had sunk little by little, giving way to the constant pressure of the water, and at last a portion of more than fifty yards had crumbled down. Though there were women and childe ren among us, we kept up a fast pace. Soon we reached the ramparts,where the water stood already over afoot high. They had, in the nick of time, built a temporary wall across the city gate; it was but loosely made of earth and a few cross beams, and the water, which al- ready covered the lend between the ram- parts and the dike was pressed hard against it. The officers gave us DO time to rest; preseetly we stood on the broken; part of the dike, filling the gap with earth and stones. Happily the water was cadre, though a steady breeze rather in- creased the possibility of a large break- down. We were in the water to our y hips, and a queer eight it was. ads of soldiersmothing but theirlblue jackets sticking out of the water, were working in a matter of fact way. ' Groups of laborers were digging as quietly as if they were working on a dry farm instead of on the banks of an over- flowing river. Close to me a young dandy, whom the alarm bells eeemed to have called. away from a dancing party, atood with a pickax in his hand, while the tails of his dress suit were floating behini him, giving him the Oppearance qt riding on the surface of the water. f&addenly a load a stones was thrown off the dike. Down they came with a crash, making a big wave which almost lifted me off my -feet. When the water" was quiet again nothing more was visi- ble of the dandy but his silk hat. E.rery now and thena relief party was erecl into the water, while others climbed to the top of the dike, cold and weary. About an hour passed, when a cry was raised, "The students! The yacht club!" In an incredibly short time they had jumped into the water, repair- ed the gaps and dug little canals to let the water flow off the land before the ramparts. At daybreak the civilians returned horne,and soon all had resumed their- daily labors. -Such episodes are of frequent occurrence, and in Holland eternal vigilance is the price of a habit- able home.

BY ELEA.NOR E. STAATS. Don't encourage young men to call upon you who frequent liquor ealoons, billiard parlors, or pool rooms. Don't notice men who stare at, you on the streets, even if it is a well-bred stare. Doubtless they think themselves irresistible and you very much impress. ed with their appearance. Don't stand at street corners talking to young men, though they are acquaint- ances. Don't consider it a sign of your popu- larity to be accompanied by several es- corts whenever you take your walks abroad. Don't accept promiscuous invitations. It oely cheapens you, and may draw you into a circle of acquaintances you will regret having formed. Don't sanction wine drinking when out to parties or weddings. Your sim- ple act of declining the preffered glen may act as a check upon your cOmpan- ion. Tacit disapproval sometimes' does more good than the most eloquent tem- perance lecture.

"If you will not wear it," said his mother, 4' I shall send you back to bed. Back to bed he went. He got no dinner. Afternoon came. A neighbor went in to see him, -his mother telling her that she had a bad boy upstairs. The boy lay there in bed, wide awake, his little oheeks flush- ed with the situation, but shoe4ing no signs of change of heart. "Don't you want to go to school ?" asked the neigh- bor. - "School ?" was thereply. '• I shall never go te school again." -"Don't you want to ?"-" Yes, but I can't. 'I've got to stay here."-" All your life ?" Yes'm." was the reply, "alt my life." What could e mother's heart do against so philosophic an acceptance of the ter- mination of a life career as this?

A Small Conqueror; The mother of a Lewiston little boy dressed him up in a new flannel shirt and sent him to school. It irritated his cuticle'or in other words he itched. When. he came home that night he was cross, -very Gross for so small a boy, - and declared that he aud the flannel had parted company forever. he next morning, when his mother prepared to dress him for school, he drew the line at ous habit, it is very certain the husband will not. Don't allow men to be familiar with you, to use slang or doubtful expressions in your presence. Don't make appointments with men. either at a friend's home; in the Park, or at any place but father's house. Don't expect to have exclusive use of the parlor for yourself and callers. Others of the family have the same rights as yourself, and your conversa- tion can and ought not to be of so pri- vate a nature that the presence of a third person is felt to be a restraint. . Don't rebel if the visits of a certain gentleman are disagreeable to your mother, and she says 30. She knows best, and can see faults and deficiencies that your youth and inexperience would never discover. Don't attempt to copy the manners and dress of your brothers. Nothing 80 unsexes a woman as mascurne ways. Don't use loud tones in talking, nor call men by their last names without the Usual prefix. Men may treat you as good comrade, but tlaey very rarely merry euch Don't be deceived that men want to raise a family °�f Amazons. Remember that while men apparently have more license than women, still they expect their wives to be like Caesar's wife, "be- yond reproach." iDon't be ashamedto help mother with the housework. A practical know- ledge of bread -making, cooking, and the general management of a house is worth more than a smattering of music or painting. To know how to "set" - sponge for bread is an accomplishment that no girl need despise,and the knead- ing of it is grand exercise. Don't set your mind too much on dress. While it is your duty to -look yeur very best with the means at your commend, it is wrong to give- so much time and thought to the adorhment of your person, while your mind is starv- ing for want of proper food.' You need not be a blue stocking, but a good heal- thy course of reading and thinking is splendid gymnastics for your mental powers. Don't come down to breakfast in a soiled wrapper, slovenly shoes, "bang " done up in curl papers; and back hair in a cracker knot on the top of your head. Youwill never see any one better to dress for than thosein the home circle. They are the ones to be cheered by your sweet, wholesome appearance, and not strangers. In a word, girls, try to be true wo- men, and by so doing you will gain an influence which, like a sweet perfume will shed its fragrance upon all with whom you may be brought in contact.

You can be firm without scolding your children ; you can reprove them for their faults; you can punish them when necessary, but don't get into the habit of perpetu- ally scolding them. It does them no good. They soon become so accustomed to fault findine aud ecelding that they pay no attention to it. Or, which often happens, they grow hardened and reek - e88 in consequence of it. Many a natur- ally good disposition is ruined by con - Wait scolding, and many a child is Logical Reasons. Mother -Tell me the truth and _I will not punish you. Did you take the cake. Son-Yes'm. Mother -But you told me that you did noie. Son -That was before yon promised not to whip me. Mother -Well, I am going to whip you, anyway, for telling a lie.

We have said there is only one legiti- mate excusse for dark stables, and that is to gat 'rid of flies. On reflection, we take that back, and insist that there is no good excuse for dark stables. Before screens were invented, there might have been such an excuse, but these con- veniences and guards are so cheap that all good tecuse for not having them is banished. They are not only a protec- tion against flies and mosquitoes, but help ventilation by letting in the air and daylight, while filtering the air and pre- venting strong drafts. We all know what a protection they are against these insect pests in our houses, und ought to be willing to extend so cheap a home comfort to our cows and other domestic animals.

More resolutions are made thanl at any other time, and as often are they alas! broken. But with some the mem i lutions made with the dawn of a new i year have been carried through' to' its -close. Numerous lives of honor and ace bievern.erit oan be traced to some deter- mination of purpose made upon an occa- sion such as the first day of a year af- fords for a fresh start in the journey of iefe. We all desire success, the pro- blem of life is its winning. Every per- son carries in his or her own hand the key that unlocks either the door of suc- cess or failure. The true key ot success is lebor, and it requires a strong, reso- lute will to turn it. It in hard, earneste work, step by step, that ensures success -31 and never was this truth more; potent' than at the present time. Esmitleos ofi trust and eminence are no longer 'secure ed at a singte leap. Men .and women have ceased te succeed in a hurry. Oce oa.sionally thea will be an exception, but the instances are rare, Success, a writer has said, is the child of confi- dence and perseverance, and never was the meaning of a word more clearly de- fined. The secret of many successful careers is the thorough perforro,an.ee of whatever has been undertaken. An ex- cellent maxim is that which counselesiis never to put our hands to anything into which we earmot throw our whole ener- gies harnessed with the very best of out endeavors. Perseverence is essential to success, since it is often achieved only through a long succession of fa,, ures. In spite of our best efforts, fail ures are in store for the majority of the race. It remains, then, for us all to sit the best we can under all circumstances, bearing in mind that races ere not al- ways won by the swiftest feet, nor tri umphe in battle secured by the strong est arms. It is not so much the possess ion of -swiftness or strength as it is thi right application of them by which sue cess is ensured. In starting out upon the journey o life, it is well: First, to obtain every kernel of know ledge within your reach. Study people for the knowledge the: can impart to you. Read books for what they ean toed you. Next, see what irlinr temperament hes suits you for. Mark your tendencies, and appl, them. Be sure that you have not mistake your calling. Once certain, apply yourself to you chosen work. Then, work hard, earnest and loco sant. Don't consider anything beneath yot Be patient, honest and pleasant i manner. Treat all persons alike, high or lows, Have a smile for all; a pleasant wor for everybody. Snecese may not come at first, but , • will not be far off, and when it do4 • come it will be the sweeter for t delay.
