HERALD BOOK STORE- POST OFFICE. 559-1y 593. 22 When I was a kid at lessons, the mas- ter asked me one day to write my oWn name on a great black slate. I just knew my letters then, and so I put down JAKE. ‘ That’s Jake,’ says masterâ€"4 that ain’t J aek ;’ and they all began n-leughing be- cause I couldn’t spell. Since then the name’s stuck to me. My mate brought it with him when we came here, so that it’s always : ‘ Morning Jake ;’ ‘ L (ins n Fanny, In)” :7 z I’ll lmvn ; Jake ;’ and so on. “r l .. . 1.: Mother died before I can remember, and father when I was about sixteen, and I haven’t no brothers or sisters; so as I found work to be short about our way, and heard there was good wages earning up in the west, I and another started off till we came to a town we’ll call True- bridge, and for that matter it ain’t so far from the real name. We got work to do there, though the pay was poor, but food and things were cheaper than at Man- chester ; and I’ve staid on ever since, and got- used to it, so that I’m bound to live there now, unless the whole place goes to smash. .~ I ain’t married now ; but as to Wheth- er I ever shall be or not, I ain’t sure a bit, and that’s all about it. I’ve been sweet on one or two girls ; Polly Howe, as lives up Back Street, I was very near spliced to, and I don't mind telling how that came to be broken off. That thus so steadfast stand? They are found in every climeâ€" In the great Masonic band. *From the speech of His Royal High- ness the Prince of Wales at the 72nd Anni- versary Festival of the Royal Masonic Insti- tution for Boys, celebrated March 30, 1870. We were sitting on a stile together one night; I remember it was Saturday, because Polly had just been buying things from the stores we factory hands have startedâ€"cooperative, you knewâ€"â€" when there came over two young fellows, tall and lean, one of them with his front teeth showing. They were both dressed in black, and instead of going on, turned round to look at us. New, no fellow likes that when he’s sweethearting, so I said pretty sharp: ‘W'hat’s the game, matey?’ They didn’t answer at first, but kept on shaking their heads; then he with the rat’s 1nouth,says very quietly : ‘ You’re on the broad regid, my f1 iend.’ ‘ That’s better than Being ialways on the broad grin.’ I answered, and thought I’d riled him, for he. turned green, and shoved his hand into his coat pocket, but it was only to present a. tract at me. ‘ Take this, sinner,’ says he. I’d have let it alone, only Polly- would take it; and then he grinned at her, and asked her to go to their new tabernacle, and said she was a stray lamb in the hands of the devouring wolf. I knew he meant me, so I jumped down and asked him to fight, and he make eff tolerably quick, I can tell. But Pelly’s never been the same after that. She goes to their meet- ing regularly, and says buying grocery after sundown on Saturday is wicked, and that kissing’swieked. For all that, she’s thick as thieves with the chap that gave us the tract, and she sent me a letter to ,say we weren’t to be anything more to “each other. I’ve got it now ; it’s this: ‘DEAR JAKEâ€"I write this to say that I can’t have you. You’re too full of flesh and new wine ; you’re too much of the world. You’re too fond of rat- ting. Remember, Jake, there aim? no tawier dogs in the kelestial city. 0 Jake, my soul’s safety won’t let me speak to you again ; but minister says if you will plough up that proud, stony heart, and ask his forgiveness for what you said, there’ll be a. hope for you still: Yours, truly, POLLY HOWE. P.S.â€"I am going to be married to minister next Week.’ Well, you may be sure I didn’t attend the wedding; but one day passing by their chapel, I got a paper thrust into my hand, and found it was a tract called The Rough’s Road to Ruin. I read three pages; but when I found it said that only they who went to that chapel would go to heaven, and that ninety-nlne of every hundred of us must be lost, I just laid it down, for thinks I to myself, if there was a lock-out, but the masters offered to keep me on at high wa’ge, I wouldn’t Without the others ; neither would I run away from a fight, but stick by my mates, even if I got worst off ; for that’s What I call doing; what’s Right. But if so be it mean’s sneaking off, and saving onc’s-self by dropping on other people, Why, it ain’t in my line ; and so Item the tract up, and lit my pipe with it. There lives a band of men Whose precepts are divine; Whose pure and worthy deeds W ith growing lustre Shine. Though linked by bands of truth In a. sacred brotherhood, Their faith has 0ft been tried, And many storms Withstood. But they held fast the banner 0f fidelity and love, Served Well their Holy Master, The Eternal God above; On their high path they walk, Rejoieing in their might, Rejoicing in united strength 0f charity and right. And one of their grand order, The prince of this proud landl”t Hath nobly said their honor Shall upheld be in his hand. Where are those men of mark The Great Masonic Band. :gimmm gimme ‘ Bob-’ It gave me heart, that did, to go on, though I got thinner and thinner ; but I know anything was better than staying to rot at the workhousc, where they bring you down with bullying and poor food, till the pluck’s all out of you, and you ain’t fit for might but to be a pauper. So it came about at last, after I’d been in this way about a fortnight, that one day I got to the town of Trnebridge. It was well on in evening, pretty duskish; and as I made a point of not begging till I asked. for Work. because, like enough, melanomas would keep it; up against you It mouthed down nigh Bbreet, OTTtIfe‘ darkest side; the one or two bobbies I passed looking after me pretty sharp; and the baker, where I went to buy a. loaf with my last brown, watching me and his bread as if he thought I was a magnetiser, and could mesmerise his threepeneo-hulfpenny erusties into my cup and pockets without touching them. You’ll be wondering now, perhaps, how old I am. A bit less than ‘you think, it’s likely, for We factory lads mostly do our courting young. I know I was born on the first of“August, and my own notion. is that I am twenty, but it maybe a year more or less; I ain’t quite sure. Anyhow, it’s five years good since first I came to Truebridge. I came with another fellow, as I'said before, for father was gone, and the mills knocking of? to half-pay, and I having a notion to see the world, thought I might as well tramp about to find out what was doing'in other parts. Blll Jenkins was an orphan, same as I, and thought With me that it wasn't any use to stay and be starved. So, having talked of it times, we fixed at .last to start on a Sunday. I’d get sixteen shillings, for I sold elf every stick father had left, as. all that was of no use to me; and Bill he’d get eight or nineâ€"~I forget which. It was hot weather, the middle of June, and we had a jolly time of it at first; only, try as we would, there wasn’t anything to do. People were everywhere discharging their own work-people, so that we strangers had but a poor chance. Well, we went on and on, still the same, only that our money was quite gone; then we Separated. Bill thought there’d be a chance up London way, and I stuck on to the west, because I’d heard things were beginning to look up a bit about there. I shan’t easy forget the first time I took to sing for a living; that was the day after I parted with Bill. It was in abig town, and I felt fit to choke with shame. I’<1 sung through all the best streets without taking anything, and began to he precious bad, when I heard : ‘Hero, boy ;’ and there was an old W0- man standing at her door With a cup of tea and (1 some bread and butter. Didn’t 'I tuck in just, and didn’t I bless the old lady when Ild done, and she gave me threepence fore bed I Presently, I came to the bridge, and looked over, There was a black, smelly river, such as we have in Lance-shire, and several tall chimneys, so I knew they did some kind of factory Work. I’d no money for lodging, and I thought I might happen on an empty shed by keep~ along the banks. I went through a turn- stile, and passed two or three of the great buildings full of windows, reminding me of home, and the time when I thought all tramps were thieves, and held it great sport to go out at night with two or three more, and drive them mad with chaff and pea-shooters. - After I’d got on a bit, the river got broader and branched into twoâ€"at least it seemed so at first ; only when I’d come there, I found it was a brook running into the main stream. I turned off along it, for there looked to be something of a stack ahead; when, passing a. clump of withy trees, who should I see on the side but a little chap fishing away all by himself. I stood to look, for he didn’t see me, but kept pulling them out quite fast with a willow branch for red, and a bit of breadpaste on his hook. He’d soon get about a dozen, of two or three ounces each ; and they lay jumping about on the grass, near getting in again sometimes, only he didn’t seem to care, but went on as hard as ever. My mouth watered, for though they were raw, they’d be a relish to my dry bread; and I don’t know but What, if he’d been on the same side of the water, mightn’t have taken them without more said, though I’m tolerably honest too; but hunger does try one, and no mistake. Anyhow I called out: ‘Give us one, matey ?’ He looked up, undoing his line, and wrapping the fish in the grass, then he began to cross the brook on stepping stones, with the water about up to his knees, and then he came on as bold as as brass, and says he: ‘ Who are you?’ You may guess I wasn’t much up for laughing; but I did grin a bit at the check of that mite, for he was a head and shoulders less than me, his shirt was black and ragged, and his trousers turned up at tho knooos, so that he didn’t quite look the sort of ohap to be afraid of. Well, I told him I was a follow down in luck ; and says I: ‘ I’ll trouble you for one or two of them fish; there’s more than you’ll eat, young shaver. ‘ 0111’ he shouts, ‘ that’sjolly. You’re just the chap I want. Como on to my tower, and I’ll fry ’em, and give you a bed too.’ ‘ Where’s that ?’ I said, for I thought he 5mg trying to_ humbug: So he "pointed to a ruined old mill; and we went on, I keeping a good lock- out that he didn’t bolt, which I more than half expected. - a“ Presently ‘We came to the door of the mill. It stood right out among fields, and was built of wood. It was quite broken down, only a bit of one of the sails standing. \Vhen we’d got in, I saw there was fresh straw on the ground, and an old greatcoat made up like a. bed. This looked prime, I thought, as I threw myself in a snug corner, and watched the younker build up a bit of fire, and set the fish to cook on a broken saucepan lid. They did just smellgood, though they’d no dripping, for they were so fat they turned a beautiful brown without sticking to the pan. When I saw that, I didn’t stop for any asking, but whipped out my leaf, and seized the biggest by his tall, crunching like a fel- low does who’s not eaten for six hours. ‘Now, I’ll go for Eagle Eye,’ says the kiddy. I didn’t stop to ask who Eagle Eye was; but in a, minute there ran in one of' the rummiest little dogs I’ve ever seen. It was a long, brown spatted one, with crooked legs and a flat head, some- thing like a good natured bull. When it saw me, it stopped short, and wagged its stump of a tail ; then it came on a yard or two; and then its master showed at the door, and it went jumping about like a mad dog. ‘ What a funny name 1 Well, J ake, let’s_$}_1101(e _tho pipe of 13951063 ‘I’ll smoke a pipe of baccy, if that’s what you mean,’ says 1 ; and I pulled out a short black clay, and half an ounce of' rag I’d saved since morning. Bob took up a. wooden thing made from the branch of a tree, filled and lighted it, pufling away as grave as a judge. I most cx~ pccted to see the dog start at it next. I began to rather like the little chap, he’d got such good check, so I just told him all about it~â€"how that I was on the look-out for work, and the rest, he and the dog both looking at me and blinking, as if they quite understood what I was saying. ‘ Now,’ says Bob, ‘ I’ll tell you Who I am.’ Then he told me how that his mother died when he was born, and his father married again ; that they were pretty well off ; but his stepmother used him ill ; that his father died a year ago, W‘Wk’ “‘1 am" " " , he didn’t‘gb‘ home once arfi'ortnight, jgst _live_d ae‘ We went on eating a good while With- ! out talking, though I saw the youngster was eyeing me curiously. At last, when the three of us had cleared up every; scrap, he said: ‘ My name’s Bob, and" this is Eagle Eyeâ€"now, what’s your name ?’ * ‘Now tell us youur story,’ said Bob, W119} we’d both got yell qlight. ‘They call me Jake,’ I said, ‘down our way, though I won’t swear I was christened so.’ home once a fortnight, m just lived as‘ he best could. ‘l’ve got Eagle Eye,’ said he; ‘ and now you shall share my Wigwam, and we’ll go out hunting and fishing togetherâ€"eh I I’ll shew you where there’s hedgehogs in plenty ; and we’ll get a rabbit or two sometimes, and trap lurks. I say, won’t it be prime? I felt too tired to argufy; but I heard him still going on as I dropped off asleep on the old cont. Advice to Youth. Culture insures the production ‘of su- periorfruit from the soil ; and culture, culture only, produces superior men. If you suffer an apple to grow up in the forest, overshadowed by the tall mon- archs of the woods, surrounded by bitter shrubs and foul W eds, Without letting the sunshine to its oilege, lopping 011' its decayed or superfluous twigs and branch- es, and stirring the soil at its roots, it will grow up dwarfed and barren, or pre- dueing unpalatable and unwholesome fruit. If a boy is suifered to grow up in idleness and inertia, surrounded by the ignorant and vicious, he will be a dwarf in intellect, soul and virtue, and his fruits, or deeds, will be as aerid and bitter as “apples of Sodom.” A bOy should be taught that a well tempered and rightly directed ambition is one of the greatest virtues in man.

This fact known to him, the next thing he should learn is, that the quest tion whether he is to rise above the dull~: est mediocrity when he shall attain the: age of manhood and be an ornament of, l and blessing to, his race, must be an-‘ swered by himself, and no other; for, surely, in himself alone resides the solu- tion of that interesting problem. If he shall heed the good advice and kind monitions of those more older and ex- perienced than himself, and thus make a right beginningâ€"if he shall, at the out- set place his feet in the rugged path leading up the lofty Hill of Science, and shall suffer nothing to make him deviate therefrom in youth, he must reach the Temple of Knowledge at its top. But if, during the years of youth and strength, he shall step aside to chase each painted butterfly of folly, when “ man’s estate” is reached, he will be laboring in vain 0n the mountain side, surrounded by “ the common herd ” who retrospect in sorrow, and who dream with remorse of wasted * opportunities. V ' r “2,..-I ‘1' on--.” Man is the only progressive animal of earth. The nest of the lark of to-day is exactly like the nest of the first lark that seared high up in the heavens and bathed its plumage in the golden radi- ance of Aurora; but the structures of men of modern times bear little or no re- semblance to the ruder fabrics of evan- ished ages. “Man is fearfully compli- cated and delicately constructed machine and comes from the omnific hand of his Creator With great responsibilities resting upon him ;” and among these responsi- bilities is self culture. It is Within the power of all friends of youth to make them understand their responsibility in this respect; and it is likCWlSC in the power of every youth to disregard that responsibility, and by disregarding it, become one of the many blots upon the escuteheog of the human race. ‘Ve say to youth, “There is no em ecllence without labor.” Every “ son of" Adam ” who labors not, disobeys the command and resists the plan of his Creator. Ever since the flaming sword of the Cherubim flashed between Adam and his lost Eden, all have been under' the curse, and nothing has been right- eously gained without labor. However gifted by nature with genius, talent, or' strength, without intelligent exertion you cannot rise above the common level of those who squander the golden moments of youth in pursuit of ignes fatui, which lure, at least, to the “Slough of Despond” Even heaven born Genius, with its eagle wings, cannot bear up the dead, leaden weight of ignorance, sensualism, and sloth. You must work with that ambi- tion and that end in view, else you never enjoy a manhood of which you will not be ashamed. ‘ If you feel the struggling of the spirit of genius within you ; if it is your wish some day to stand among the noble, good and great of earth, you must strive, in life’s spring time and summer, with brain and hand. You can never achieve that proud manhood for which Provi- dence, has given you the capacity, unless you lead anatural and active life. With this view, avoid slothfulness; shun inebrietv as you would the yellow fever, the cholera, or the deadly fangs of the cobra di capello; eschew sensuaflism in all its thousand forms; remember, at all times, that it is wrong to live for your- self alone ; aim high; and study models of piety, statesmanship, ecienee and slfill. In conclusion, remember that youth is the period in which your character will be formed, and in which your future fate will be decided. Employ that period well, for when gone it never can be re- called. The snow drifts of winter give place to the emerald bloom of spring in. nature; but; “ no vernal morn will shed its freshness over the autumnal landscape of human life.” 1n the world of thought, as in the ex- terior world, we are surrounded by the good and the bad. But of bad thoughts, as of bad companions, it is useless to say that their influence is enervatlng in the extreme; like evil communications, they most deeply corrupt. The root iof all evil, they instigate to every species ofin- iquity, every form of depravity. From them spring crimes that fill penitentiaries with criminals, and supply the thousand and one emissanes of justice with a con- stant round of employment. Good thoughts, on the other, hand have given rise to all the good that has ever been achieved. They have thrown light in upon darkness, produced order out of chaotic confusion, and conquered as did David the giant Goliath, the threat- ening, boastful champion of corruption. The one cauSe to spring up in the garden of the heart, rank and poisonous weeds, which it requires a life-time to eradicate; the other, fairest flowers to flourish, which shed a fragrance on all. the outward deeds of life. Let us keep undefilod this sanctuary of our being. Let us fill it with pure,beautiful thoughts, from which shall emanate noble resolves, which in their turn shall result in noble deeds; so shall our life’s little acts have no remorseful shadows hanging over them, and our existence, like the majestic river flowing on into the sea, shall become more and more enlarged as it nears the boundless ocean whose waters lave the shores of this our mortal sphere. As bad thoughts are the bane of the mind, so are good thoughts its talisman. They clothe in with an armour bright to protect it from the shafts which the ene- my of mankind daily levies against it.

This wonderful specific had been given to him by another farmer, aged '75 whom it had ‘completcly cured,’ and who knew of ‘several’ whom it had similarly cured. As nothing more is requu'ed than to put a piece of alum in your trowsers pock- et, this ‘cure’ has simplicity and cheapness to recommend it, and I here make it more widely known ‘in the cause of suffering hu- manity,’ as the quack doctors say.” A TOWN SWAinowen BY AN EhRTHQUAKE. --The Impartial of Smyrna gives an ac- count of a frightful catastrophe. The town of Oula, in the district of Monteche, a de- pendency of Aiden, has disappearedâ€"~en- tirely swallowed up in the earth after three successive shocks of earthquake. The in- habitants were to some extent warned of what was about to occur by dull rumbling and alarming sounds, which were soon fol- lowed by a first shock that made them fly terrified to the neighboring hills. Except three persons, therefore, all the inhabitants escaped with their lives. Marmaritza and Moula, in the same district, have also suff- ered severely. The‘governor ad interim has sent provisions, tents and money to the unfortunate people, who are thus left with- out a roof or even the common necessaries of life. This extraordinary persistence of earthquakes in divers places is getting serious The worst of it is that if Professor Phillips, the geologist, be right in thinking, as he is said to do, that a period of recurring activity in the disturbing causes which affect the earth at great intervals of time has commen- ced, a long continuance of them may at least be anticipated. if not an increase in their intensity, beyond their more initial action.
