Stock, Was the brightest thing and neatest, its hands, though old, had a touch of gold, And its chimes rang still the sweetest. Twas & monitor, too, though its words were few, Yet they, lived. though nations altered : And its voice, still strong, warned old and young. when the voice of friendship faltered. “Pick, tick,” It said—quick, quick to bed, For ten I've given warning; Up, up, and go, or else, you know, é You'll never rise soon in the morning \ friendly voice was that old, old clock, As it stood in the corner smiling, And blessed the time with a merry chime, The Winter hours beguiling ; But a cross old clock, Aw it called at the daybreak boldly, When the dawn looked gray on the misty | way, And the early air blew coldly; “Tick, tick,” i: said—‘‘quick out of bed. For five I've given warning; You'll never have health, you'll never get wealth, s Uniess you're up soon iu the morning. still lourly the clock goes round and round, With a tone that ceases never, While tears are shed fur bright days fied, Aud the old triends lost forever; Its heart beets on, though hearts are gone That warmer beat and younger, [us hands still move, though bands we love Are clasped on earth no longer! + Lick, tick,” it said—to the churchyard bed, ‘The grave hath given warning; Uy, up, and rise, and look to the skies, And prepare fur the heavenly morning. a — ec ALLO ALAIN Oe PUNCTUALITY. ‘There is no habit that contributes more t» the success of a business nan than punc- cuality.. Itis almost an infallible index t» the degree of integrity which its possessor epjoys, and as such is invaluable. Punctu- ality in all engagements should be regarded as the sine qua non for a business charac~ ier. Young men entering upon the active duties of lite should cultivate the habit as- siduously, and at never so great inconveni- ence to themselves when circumstances re- quire it. Your word with reference to a business appointireut should be as sacred- iy regarded as your note ‘n the bank, and after an engagement is ,made, it should never be torgotteu that you are not the only one dependiag upon its fulfliment. If your own interests admit of breaking the en- yagement, perhaps your friend is less taver- bly situated, and its jaithful observance may be necessary to protect interests of his ot which you have no knowledge. Itshould ve enough for you to consider that you agreed to meet hin ata time and place to make it certain that at such time you will be at the place. It not infrequently bap- pens that the smaliest variaticn in time, an insignificant delay of five minutes, eptails serious cupsequences upon the these buetling, affairs of otbers. In stirring, rushing days, when trains eome and go incessantly, when the lightning is pressed into the service of the yusiness world, every five minutes is of value. A minute too late is as certainly too jae for the departed train asan hour. The fhe real importance, however, of punctual- ity is its effect upon the character and stand- ing of the fortunate possessor, At whatever voice was that tiresome | | have occasion to travel, we publish bolow ‘a reliable Traveller's Guide, which gives » ' brief the different means of leaving the ‘city, together with the hours of departure ‘of the various trains and steamers :-— Trains .e ve daily — tor Summerside, Point du Chene and all points in New Brunswick, United ! | States and Canada at 6 a, m. |For Summerside, Tignish and all points West of Summerside at 10 :23a. m, and all points East of Summerside at 3:25 p, m. ‘For Mount Stewart, Georgetown, Souris | and all points Kast of Charlottetown at 2:35 p. m. 4 ‘Steamer leavas Steam Nay.

He is always depended on. he promises he will do, whether it is money, or time, or place, and the confidence which this habit will beget in his business ac- quaintances will save him much annoyance and loss. On the other hand, carelessness with reference to minor, and, apparently, unimportant appointments, is most destruc- tive to business enterprise and success. It leads directly to neglect in more important matters, to carelessness it regard to books aad papers, and tends to tae development of a genera! siovenliness in all business habits, that can only end in bankruptcy and ruin ~_ Facts and Seraps. ~ OR Oe fhe boy who makes a foe of his fat.er makes the first foe pa of his life. « That Bridget of Mine” is the latest Bid fr the novel reader's patronage. ihe Turkish soldier is always sober.
