There may not be one chance in a million that you willever receive aid of this kind ; but opportunitiea are often presented which you can improve to good advantage, it you will only act. You are too young," said the advertiser for a factory manager in Manchester, Eng- land, after a single glance at an applicant. "They used to object to me on thatscore four or five years ago," replied. Robert Owen, "but I did not expect to have it brought up now." "How often do you get drunk a week ?" I neveri' was drunk in my life," said Owen, bluOing. " What salary do you ask ?" " hree hundred pounds a year." Three lisa; ndred a year 1 Why, I have had I don't ki4ow how many after the place here this mOrning, and all their askings together would not come up to what you want," • " Whatever others may ask, I cannot take less. I am making three hundred a year by my Own business." • The youth, who had never been in a large cotton mill, was put in charge of a factory emploping 500 operatives. By studying machines, cloth, and processes at night, he mastered every detail of the business in a short time, and was soon without a superior in his line in Manchester. "Tho best men," says E. H. Chapin "are not those who have waited for chances but who have taken them ; besieged the chance; conquered the chance ; and made chance the servitor." The lack of opportunity is ever the ex- cuse of a weak, 1' &dilating mind. Oppor- tunities h Every life is full of them. Every lemon - in school or college is • 'an opportunity. Every - examination is a chance in life. Every patient is an opportunity. Every newspaper article is an opportunity. Every client is an op- portunity. Every _sermon is an opportun- ity. Every business transaction is an op- portunity—an opportunity to be polite—an opportunity to -be manly—an opportunity to be honest—an opportunity to make friends. Every proof of confidence in you is a great opportunity. Every responsibil- ity thrust upon your strength and honor is priceless. Existence is the privilege of effort, and when that privilege is met like a man, opportunities to succeed along the line of your aptitude will come faster than you can see them.

She merely looks at you with angelio compassion, and tenderly says : " Poor fellow; you're tired, and you've had a bad day 1" I can tell you what, that kind of treat - anent takes the spirit out of a mane and cows him half to death. If women only un- derstood what a shield and doubletarmor plating it is, as well as a spear and 'Eti goad, we should have more sweet-temperedwives than are at present in existence. How She Cured Him. Two married women who are very intim- ate frieads and talked about the skeletons in their respective closets without reserve were chatting together recently. • " I'm going to ask you," said the younger, "how you cured your husband of staying out late at night,. I've coaxed Frank, rea- soned with him and scolded like 'a termag- ant, but it has done no good. He seems to think that if he's home for breekfast I have no right to complain." " You oan't expect, dear, that what will cure one man is a.remedy for all, bat this is how I dealt with Robert. Despite all protests he had been staying out very late, but one night came home before twelve. I kept the door double -locked and bolted and always lethim in. This night I asked him who was there, and he answered brusquely enough. 0 " You're mistaken,' I replied. 'Mr. Latem never comes home thua early. You imitate his voice very fairly, but he never speaks so plainly at night. If you don't go away I'll calla policeman." "'Open this door,' he shouted. • 'You know well enough who,.it is, Don't make fools of both of us.' " 'Oh, dear I' I exclaimed in a voice of as- sumed terror,' what shall I do? Robert won't be home before three.' Then I ran to the window and called for the police." " No ?" - " Yes, I nid, and Robert beard me. He banged the door once or twice, swore sever- al hundred words, and then hurried down the street. Whet the pence were there and quite a crow had collected, he came up as though he had been pushed for time, eagerly enquired what was the matter, and congratulatedme on getting rid of the un- timely caller. Even aftert we were in the house he had the audacity to keep up the fiction of a strange man at the door, but he had the grace to say that his business was so arranged that he would not be detained at night any more and would be at home to protect me. It was a brazen pretence he made, but he has kept his word." From the Orangeville Sun. In a cosy little house in Margaret street, in this town, lives Mr. John Garrity, his wife and family. They are indeed a happy family, although a few years ago a sadder household would be hard to find. Their happiness was not occasioned by the sudden obtaining of a fortune, but by • something more precious—the restoration to health of •a wife and mother, when every_ one whispered that she must die. Our re- porter heard of Mrs. Garrity's illness and cure, and for the benefit of our readers in- vestigated the ease ; what he learned is well worth repeating. A few years ago Mr. Garrity kept a well known hotel at Chelterham and was known far and wide for his kindness and hospitality; his wife, too, was noted for her amiability. How- ever, she was stricken with a peculiar sick - nese, her health failed rapidly and from one hundred and forty-seven pounds her weight became reduced to ninety-five pounds. Fainting spells became frequent, and a con- tinual pain in the back of her head almost drove her frantic. Physicians were in at- tendance, but the doctors all said there was no hope. Mrs.Garrity saw death staring her in the face, and the thought of leaving her little children caused her much sadness. She was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but thought they could not possibly do Ler any good when physicians had failed to al- leviate her sufferings. Hoping, however, almost against hope, she procured a supply, and wonderful to relate she had not been taking Pink Pills long when the dreadful symptoms of her illness began to pass away, and to -day she is the picture of health. A few months ago Mr. Garrity and family removed to Orangeville, and in conversation with our representative Mrs. Garrity said : I cannot find words to ex- press my thankfulness for what D. Wil- liams' Pink Pills have done for me. Why. it is almost Miraculous. I wish that every one who is suffering as I was will hear of this remedy. We always keep a box of the Pink Pills in the house." A Wife's Best Weapon. "Woman's best weapon is her tongue," says an old philosopher. Not at all, writes a /steadier. She has a far better one, and the wisest woman is she -who, in wifehood, has learnt to use it. That weapon is a sweet temper. This wonderful how it takes all the flavor out of a quarrel if a wife is toe' sweet tempered to answer back. Man is an aggressive crea- ture—a fighting animal by instinct. Some men carry it so far that they are not happy unless they are sparring; and when there is nobody else to attack, the wife of one's bosom always corneae in z emarkably handy. But the most pugilistic of men tires in time of sparring with a feather bed ; there's neither amusement nor satisfaction to be got out of it, and the wife with a sweet-, temper that nothing can provoke is a feather bed of the most exhausting kind ever invented. You come down to breakfast, rather late, rather cold, very cross. You have cut yourself in shaving, you have lost a button off your shirt, you are aware it is entirely your own fault, that; you have only ten minutes in which to breakfast, and the sim- plest solution is to vent it all on somebody. There is your wife'ready to your hand. Why was the holy estate of matrimony in- vented, if not to supply safety valves for husband's tempers? You anort at the coffee, and say it is weak ; with a sympa- thetic murmur your wife sends it Out to have fresh made. The bacon is overdone ; she will gee that it does not happen again. The paper hasn't, come; to be sure it hasn't. She will go herself this very morning and remonstrate with the news -agent. Or you have had a particularly annoying day at business. Somebody has tried to go the better of you, and, perhaps, has been successful—a most unpleasing thing to any man of well regulated mind. You come home bristling, mentally, like the fretful porcupine, and yearning—yes, positively yearning—for some one to offer you a. chance of letting out at them. You growl at the partner of your joys and sorrows when she meets you at the front door. She doesn't take any notice; she on- ly helps you off with your coat and hangs it up for you. You snap at her twice before ALL THREE CURED. Neil MeKechnie, with his Wife and Moth- er-in-law Cured of Constipation by Dodd's Kidney Pills—These Pills Better than Ordinary Cat hartics. — ToROSTO, August 30th.—Neil MeKechnie, a popular barber of this city, has been a sufferer from chronic constipation for years. He used Dodd's Kidney Pills -and not only obtained immediate relief, but a permanent cure. His wife and mother-in-law were similarly afflicted, and used these pills with the same good results: Ordinary cathartics give only temporary relief and leave the pa- tient worse tha,n before using them. While Dodd's Kidney Pills are not cathartics,their peculiar action on the liver and kidneys is such that the causes of constipation are per- manently removed. • The Young Man and the Opportunity. Weak men wait for opportunities, strong men make them. "Oh, how I wish I were rich 1" exclaim- ed a bright, industrious drayman in Phila- delphia, who had many mouths to fill at home. " Well, why don't you get -rich ?" asked Stephen Girard, who had overheard the reme.ek. ",I don't know how, without money,' replied the drayman. "You don't need money," replied Mr. Girard. " Well, if you will tell me how to get rich without money, I won't let the grass grow before trying it." "A ship load of eonfiscated tea is to be • solcl at auction to -morrow at the wharf," said the millionaire: "Go down and buy it and then come to me." "But I have no money to buy a whole ship -load .of tea with, protested the drayman. "You don't need any money, I tell you," said Girard sharply; "go down and bid on the whole cargo and then come to me.". The next day the auctioneer said that purchasers would have the privilege of tak- ing one case, or the whole shipload, buying by the pound. A retail grocer started the bidding, and the drayman at Once named a higher figure, to the surprise of the large crowd present. "I'll take the whole Ship- load," said he coolly, when the sale was announced. The auctioneer was astonished, but when he learned that the young bid- der was Mr. Girard's drayman, his man- ner changed, and he said it was probably all right. The news spread that Girard was buying tea in large quantities, and the price rose several cents per pound. "Go and sell your tea," said the great merchant the next day. The young man secured quick sales by quoting a price a trifle below the market rate, and in a few hours he was worth fifty thousand dollars.

I Where should the line be drawn when a man or woman ceases to be young and is to be numbered with the old? We see and hear a great deal that is ever suggesting the question, and almost as much that suggests the answer, but the latter suggeation ts so varied as to leave us in perpetual confusion. To the young, people grow old v ry soon; to the old they remain young a long time. Again, some people actually.grow old ver7 soon, by the time they are thirty; while others are young at sixty or eighty, or as long as they live. The linel will have to be a moveable one, one that can be adjusted to different individuals, and for some individu- als at different periods of their lives. The truth is that men and women tre always young as long as they wain e to grow. And in that the mind and sotil control. While these continue to grow in the right way, in the high things of huitanity, the life is young, and even the hod becomes more and more expressive and u eful. And as there is no limit to the growtI of mind or heart, if properly used, so there 's no reason why we should grow old. Why should we not be as.the Master, of whom ,it is ever said, "Thou haat the dew of thy youth." • EPPS'S - COOOA An Old Trick. • On an Ohio railway train the other day one car was full of students, and an old col- lege trick was successfully played. The word was paesed around and when the bra,kesman entered the car, one mem- ber looked at his watch, and not being satis- fied with the result of the inspection, asked the brakesman what time it was. The brakeman accommodatinglytold the enquirer, whereat the seyenty,ffve members of the college shouted in chorus : "Thank you, kindly, sir I" The brakeman dropped his head and he sneaked crestfallenly away, amid the laugh- ter. •Pretty soon he oame back. "Say," said he, "if you will play that on the conductor, I won't say a word about it." The boys agreed to it very readily, and when the conductor entered he was asked the time of night. He pulled out his watch and gave the hour to the inquirer. "Thank you, kindly, sir !" shouted the boys in unison. The conductor wilted and went hurriedly out. He came bitIek in half an hour with the remark : "Do you know what you made me do? I called out Lancaster when I should have called Logaii and my head ain't exactly cleareyet. 1' SeVeral years ago the same trick was played at a concert given by a -college club. The director turned in his place on the stage and asked if some gentleman would kindly give them the time, as they had to catch a train. A man rose in the audience drew forth his watch, doubtless with a thrill of pride, and told the leader the hour. "Thank you, kindly, air !" shouted the boys—and the man sat down as if he had been struck on the head with a.maul. The flee simile Iligsatant Of 11 OII evera in,appea • News Notes.
