HoMELY.-What ifyou are homely as log
hut! Don't cry about it. Let goodness ofheart
make up for outward looks A lady with eyes
that resemble pealed onions and as crooked as a
politicians creed--a nose like hoe and mouth
that stretches from ear to ear and opens like a
lack knife, will be more respected and beloved,
by those whose good opinion is worth ones pains
to secure, if she possesses a good heart and
kind dispositon-than if she was as beautiful as
Millions Eve, with cork-screw disposition and
heart of lead. The wise never Judge from the
complexion of the skin, or the symmetry of tht
form, but the virtues of the heart and a cores
ponding life.-Porttand Bulletin,

The Brave Boy.

Two boys were one day on their way from
school. As they were passing corn field in
which there were some plumb trees full of fine
ripe fruit, Henry said to Thomas
Let us jump over and get some plums. No
body will see us, and we can scud along through
the tall corn, and come out safe on the other
side
Thomas said
1T is wrong. do not like to try it. Iwoud
rather not have the plums than to steal them, and
! will run along home
you are a coward said Henry. 4 always
knew you were coward; and if you don't want
any plumbs you may 60 without them but shall
have some very quick.
Just as Henry was climbing the fence, the
owner of the field rose up from the other side Of
the wall
Henry jumped back and ran off as fast as his
legs could carry him.
Thomas had no reason to be afraid
So the owner of the field, who had heard the
conversation between the boys, then asked Thorn
as to step over and help himself to as many
plums as he wished.
The boy was pleasedwith the invitation and
was not slow in filling his pockets with the ripe
fruit
Which of these two boys were brave-the enc
who called the other a coward, but ran away
himself, or the one who said he was afraid tc
steal and stood his groundl

er would sell your child and mine if they had
the power. During the sale, the quarters re-
sounded with cries and lamentations that made
my heart ache. A woman was next called by
name. She gave her infant one wild embrace
before leaving it with an old woman, and hasten
ed mechanically to obey the call, but stopped
threw her arms aof, screamed and was unable
to move
One of my companions touched my shoulder
and said, come let us leave here, can bear no
more" We left the ground. The man who
drove our carriage from Petersburg had two sons
who belonged to the estate-small boys. He OBJ
tanned promise that they should not be Sold
He was asked if they were his only children
He answered, all that's left of eight. Three 9TH
ers have been sold to the South, and he would
never see or hear from them again.
AS northern people do not see such things,
they should hear of them often enough to keep
them awake to the suferings of the victims of
their Indifference

life they only acting on larger scale the acts
of their childhood.
! How great is the responsibility of mothers tc
&C train up their children in the way they should
go! Perhaps some mothers may think they have
but little to do in training their sons-that be-
longs to the father; but would have you to UNI
derstand that you are capable of vetoing all the
instructions received from other sources and OF
making an impress that can never be effaced-
Take the anti-savery cause. have four boys
they place implicit confidence in me and my
word is law to them From their infancy have
instructed them in the odious nature of slavery
When | put them in their little bed | would tell
them that the poor black boys had no bed to lay
n When thep kneel to lisp their evening prayer,
would tell them that the slave mother was not
permitted to tell her child about Jesus, nor to
teach him to read Gods holy word; and the
consequences of such teaching are already seen,
They hate slavery and are very bitter rganst all
its fruits; and if ever they are spared to grow
up to manhood it would be next to an impossible
ity to make them any thing but staunch and un-
tilnchlng antl-slavery men, But on the other
hand, if mothers teach their children that slavery
is a divine institution that it is right to hold
our fellow creatures in bondage the anti-slaverv
society might send out their lecturers, have con-
ventions, mass meetings, and make flaming
speeches and pass strong resolutions condemna-
tory of slavery, and it is in the power of mothers
to defeat their designs and veto their resolutions
the next generation Then we will not contend
for seat in their deliberative councils hot to
stand up and vote at the polls; be ours the noble
work to sow the seeds of human right and uniyer-
sal brotherhood, and rendering to all their dues,
and doing to others as we would have others do
to us, and we shall have the satisfac ion of know
ing that our labor is not in vain. May we all
feel our personal responsibilities, and that we
were not placed in this world to wrap ourselves
up in our own selfish interests, for we stand in a
relation to the whole human family, and it is our
duty to feel for the woes of all mankind

The Influence of Mothers.

1t must be admitted that the influence OF moth
ers on their children when young, is greater than
that of the father. They have the first CONN.,
dence of the opening mind "They teach the
young idea how to shoot" They make the first
impress on their tender minds and form, in
great measure, their characters in after life
When all other associations of home are nearly
oblterated from the memory, a mothers prayers,
mothers counsel and mothers tears that have
been shed over them in infancy and childhood,
have often kept them from crimes that they would
otherwise have committed. If the sons grow up
to be robbers, they have not been taught the aw-
full nature of crime by praying mother If they
volunteer their services on the tented field the
horrors of war have not been pictured to their
young minds around the domestic hearth L
they engage in the nefarious business of the slave
trade, they have not been taught the necessity o
respecting the rights of the family circle, and i
they become shareholders or slave abettors, the.
have been allowed to exercise their petty despot
ism over their brothers and sisters, and in ate

A Remedy for War.

Mrs l.. M. Child has lately written several let
tiers from New York to the Boston Courier, about
matters and things in general, in one of which,
in speaking of the foes and evils of war, shere-
lates the following anecdote, the principles of
which need only to be universally observed, to
put final stop to the ravages and desolatlons Of
war.
81 have read ola certain regiment ordered to
march into small town, Tin the Tyrol, l think, }
and take it. 1t CHANGED that the place was set
tied by colony who believed the gospel of
Christ, and proved their faith by their works. A
courier from neighboring village informed them
that the troops were advancing to take the town
They quietly answered, if they WILL take it, they
must Soldiers soon came riding in, with flying
colors, and flies piping their shrill defiance
They looked round for an enemy, and saw the
farmer at his pillow, the blacksmith at his anvil
and the women at their churns and spinning wheels
Babies crowded to hear the music, and boys ran
out to see the pretty trainers, with feathers and
bright buttons, the harlequins of the ninteetf
century.'-Of course none of these we're in q
proper position to be shot at. where are your
soIdiersl they asked. I'VE have none was the
brief reply-'But we have come take the town.
We'll, friends, it lies before you But is there
nobody here to fght!' NO; we are all Christ

provided for in the military schools This wa

Reflections in a House of Mourning,
BY F. o. HODGE.

IT'S better far to 60 where mourning keeps
Her constant vigil through the weary night,
Than enter at the house of feasting:-
Thus sung the holy bard who sat
On David's throne.
'Tis well to feel the heavy hant
Affection lays upon our souls;
Our hearts are bettered by the stroke,
When we can say, The Lord in mercy gave,
And he hath taken only what he gave
I'll bless his holy name. For he who lies
In deaths embrace, was ready when
The summons came, to meet
The Judge of all the earth in peace.
How happy he, who when his Lord
Shall call, can say, Il have no will to plead
Thy will, o God, be done
The spirit
From its clayey house has fled, and left
The earthly part to be consigned to dust,
To rise no more till the dark night
Be past, which ushers in the glorious
Dawn of that unclouded day,
When all shall know the Lord.
Who hath heart that beats not
High with hopes, that breathes no prayer
To die the death of him,
Whose righteous deeds have won the smile
of Him who knows the hearts of all?
Hard, hard his heart,
Who sees no comfort in the righteous death.
Far from this world of sin the spirit roams,
Among the fowerY gardens
Of the Spirt-Land, and every passing zephyr
Tells how great his bliss. From off
The tree of Life he pucks ambrosial fruit,
And Of that River drinks,
That in a crystal stream flows from the Throne
of God and of the Lamb. He hungers not;
No parching thirst disturbs his quiet rest;
No bowling blasts Of winter there shall chill
The Soul. No scorching summer sun,
Nor day, nor night shall mar his happiness,
But from his happy home,
Shall echo back to ea,th in measured,
Mellow cadence, like the soft breathings
Of the gentle breeze of Heaven
Yet clear as notes Of praise
From Angels Holy Harps the blest assurance,
{" II is aUeN"

does to be virtuous. 1t is a matter of economy to
practice virtue in all things One vice often costs
more than ten virtues.
