berly. and the terrible light began to dawn
upon the doctor.
Notwithstanding all the search that could
be made, this singular theft, so witty, Sc
original from the scene OF the physician an'
the Young man, was never discovered. Ilii
migrate had taken care 10 conceal every
trace of herself The drivers and lackcys
were all accomplices. The carriage was hIr
ed, aud this history remains monument III

+, There is much sound advice, and sorle cx
celcnt suggestions to be found in the follow
ing extracts from work lately publishc
under the title of Fire Side Education.
"Chldhood is like mirror, catching and
rejecting images from all around 1t. Re

! "rhcie are no pleasures so sweet as those
carncd by cilort-no possessions so sweet as
those acquired by toll The truth is that the
main happiness of life consists in the vlgor-
ous exercise OF those faculties which God
has given us. Thus it usually happens that
more enjoyment is found in the acquisition
of property than ~ lis possession. How oi'
Ten does the rich man, surrounded with every
luxury, look back from the pinnacle which
he has nta ned. with fond reg'et, to those
days of humble but happy toll when he was
struggling up :hc steep ascent of fortune
Cunning is the legitimate offspring OF false
hood, aud ever merits rcprobation aud con

feared, Stunned and despised, than one who
has acquired the reputation OF being cunning

and, without giving you the opportunity OF
escape or defence, is ready 10 make you the
victim of his sclishness or spleen. IL you
would not leave the image of the serpent
stamped upon the character of your cliild, be
careful to check in him every tendency tol

for the parent TO consider: the one rs to-

moi be doubt that if a person desires to TN

,clectual powers, that his true policy is To
avoid all stimulating drinks, except SD tar as
they may be occasionally prescribed IN SICK
ness or decay, by the physician"
81 am afraid many good and pious people
make a great mistake in cherishng gloomy
views Of life, both among themselves and
their children. Under The idea That il is ne
rcssary to wcan the heart from the pleasures
and possessions Of this world, they speak OF
il habilually rs a vale Of tears, n path OF
horns aud brars, through which we must
PASS in our jpurney 10 another state of exist
,ncc. This is certainly an erroneous view
,f life, ond is the fruitful souice of many
evils. 1t dsgusts the young and cheertu
with religion and religious people, who be
come associ ued in their minds with moody |
dulncss or revolving gloom"
"Thcrc is orc trait of Character in ON
American BOYS, which.I think deserves to bc

even the little wren, that comes with his fi i
