NOT long ago the Rev. Ruben Collyer
told the stoiy of his life to the students
of Eastman's Business College, in
Poughkeepsie, drawing fiom it many
pointed morals. The "story*' is well
worth reading and we can not forbear
giving our readers one or two brief ex
tract* from the published report. Mr.
Collyer mentioned four things which,
"as he had learned his lesson, go to
make a man good birth,good breeding,
your own good endeavor, and that good
foitune MInch is but another name for
the goodness of God," described
the simple home in Yorkshiie, paying
his mother a tender tribute for the
clean/iness and wholesome regimen
that secured periect health, and for the
training that repelled vice and fostered
self-improvement. I concluding his
"talk," Mr. Collyer gave the following
characteristic and sensible advice:
"When you get through with the col
lege, and take hold of your life's work,
do not think of making a fortune as
thf one grand aim of your life, but of
carving out a home, finding a good,
true woman for your wife, and raising,
please God, a good family. I do nor
cry down money. I think it is a good
servant and a good friend, but it it
about as cruel a master as ever used
whip. A shrewd fanner siifl tt 'jtfej
once, 'Never marry for money, wj'
lad marry for love but if thou finds a
nice girl that has money, try to love
her.' I would not say that to you. but
this: lfoufm the nice girl, some
such match for you as my mother was
for my father, and if you lo\ her,
marry her, if she will have you,though
she has not a dollar to her name. This
is A sore evil under our American sun,
that there should he such mishap and
disaster in the wedded life. I lies in
the most momentous thing we can do
we so often use the least judgment
We who have our turn want the young
men of your birth and breeding to
raise a generation of a nobler and bet

and sure of foot, deep-chested, sunny
hearted, full of faculty, and wholesome

the drainage of the great Russian
marshes in recent years. At the close
of the year 1879, 20,000.000 acres of the
Polessie marshes had been reclaimed
by 632 miles of canals. During that
year thirty-four bridges furnished with
hydraulic machinery for the purpose of
watering the fields in time of drought
were erected on these canals These,
added to the number previously huilt,
make sixty-eight. I this sam district
half a million of these reclaimed
acres are now arable land, which has
added 14,000,000 rubles to the national

give great impulse to the wealth and
prosperity of that country.
