COunSelS to the Young,

Resolve to form your lives upon some certain
principles, and to regulate your actions by fixed
rules. Man was made to be governed by rea-
son, and not by mere accident or caprice. 1t is
important, therefore, that you begin early to con-
slider and inquire, what is the proper course of
human conduct, and to form some plan for your
future lives The want of such consideration is
manifest in the conduct of multitudes They
are governed by the impulse of the moment,
reckless OF the consequences. They have fixed
no steady aim, and have adopted no certain prin-
cples Of action. Living thus at random, it would
be miracle, if they went uniformly right, In
order to your pursuing right PATH you must
know what it is and to acquire this knowledge,
you must divest yoursefof thoughtless gddlness,
you must take time for serious reflection. 1t
will not answer to adopt, wilhou. reflection, the
opinions Of those who may be about you; for
they may have some sinister design in regard tc
you; or they may themselves be misled by error
or prejudice. Persons already involved in dissi-
patton or entargled in error naturally desire to
keep themselves in countenance by the number
Of followers whom they can seduce into their
paths of vice. As reasonable creatures, there
fore, Judge for yourselves what course is right
and fitting that you should pursue. Exercise
your own reason independently and impartially
and give notyourseves up to be governed by
mere caprice and fashion, or by the opinions Of
of

The Slave Mother.

BY MARIA LOWELL,


Her newborn child she holdeth but eeby within her
is not hers but his who could outbid her in the
mart
And through the gloomy midnight, her prayer goes up
on high
"God grant my little helpless one in hepessness may
die"
If she must live to womanhood, o may she never
know,
Uncheered by mothers happiness, the depth of mo-
theirs woe;
And may lie within my grave, before that day see,
When she sits as | am sitting, with a slavechild on
her knee.
The little steal upward and then upon her breast
She feels the brown and velvet hands that never are
at rest;
No sense of JOY they waken but thrills of bitter pain
She thinks of him who counteth DER the gold those
hands shall gain.
Then on her face she looked but not as mother proud
And seeth how her features beam, as from out dusky
cloud
Are tendery unfolding, and softer than her OVID,
And how upon the rounded cheek faner light is
thrown.
And she trembes in her agony, and on her prophet
heart
There drops gloomy shadow down, that never will
depart
She cannot look upon that face where, in the chdTs
pure bloom, -.' --...
Is writ, with such dread certainty, the woman's oath
some doom.
She cannot bear to know her child must be as she
hath been;
Yet she but deliverance from nfamy and sin,
And she cries at midnight, with exceeding bitter
cry
"God grant my little helpless one, in helpeSsness may
die"

Beautiful AneCdOte,

Two little girls, named Huldah Ann and
Elizabeth, had just entered new school. HUI
dab Ann was six years old, and Elizabeth was
four. They were dressed ust alike, in plain,
neat, calico dresses and aprons. They were so
clean, had such bright and intelligent faces, and
looked SO happy as they came in, holding each
other by the hand, that the teacher loved them
mother came to the door with new slate and
pencil in her hand. This is for my little girl, ,
she Sid to the teacher The teacher knew tina,
little sisters often quarrel about their things, and
if one is better than the other, both want the
same. She expected each one would say, Give
it to me'-so she sad Which of the little girls
shall have it!' ooh, don't CARE said the
mother, Just as they agree The teacher hes
ltated. She expected the little one would say,
1t is mine, for have not any, and the elder
one, She may have mine, and will have the
rev one, for am the Oldest Oh, how pleased
and glated was the teacher to hear the elder say,
Let Elisabeth have it; she has not any The
Teachers fears we're at rest She saw that that
mother had taught her little girls not to quarrel,
and to love one another. She saw that the ell
der loved her sister better then herself and there
fore the little one was learning to be gentle and
sweet like her The teacher loved them more
then ever for, children, your teachers love kind
and afectonate children. If YOU had seen the
beautiful, new, clean slate, contrasting with the
used and soiled one, and felt how much little
girls value such things, you would appreciate the
love of that little girl for her sister. Perhaps
may some day tell you more about those sweet
little girls

The UnWary Young Man.

He comes forth into the world unacquainted
with its snares and dangers. He thinks all is
what it seems to be. He finds on every side his
associates protesting to be devoted to his good
and he believes they are. With such profess
sions they obtain an influence over him, which
he has not the power nor desire to throw off.
Parents warn him against his associates, telling
him that call is not gold that glistens,' that the
butterfly which Autters so sprightly, and shines
so beautifully with its painted wings in the sum-
mer of his prosperity, will disappear when the
biting frosts of his adversely approach. But
thinking himself too firmly fixed to be led astray,
he disregards this friendly advice and listens to
the counsels of his young associates. They be-
gin their work Of death perhaps, by endeavoring
to create in his mind contempt for religion, for
the Sabbath and for its duties and privileges,
until step by step, he is drawn into their snare,
and in some fatal moment his integrity is gone.
Pause then, oh young man and consider. Never
associate with those who scott at religion. They
are laboring to destroy your best protection in
this life and your only hope in the life to come

The Journey Of Time.

All men are travellers. Youth is the starting
point time is the path-eternty the goal; some
take longer, others, shorter time in reaching their
journeys end How many were the light heart
ed ones who accompanied us, when first we took
the pilgrims staff, and began the Journey of life!
We can remember, when we first set out, all
was sunshine, gaiety, joy or if, perchance, a
cloud was seen, or shower fell, we paused I'M
der the trees by the roadside, and only thought
how much more beautiful the flowers would look
after the rain. No care did we take of "what
we should eat, or what we should drink, or where
withal we should be clothed" we plucked the
fruit as we passed, g. decked ourselves in flowers
painted with richer coors than art ever possess
ed Oh! were we not joylull-Did we not think
and tell one another that we should never part
that our youth should never fade1 How we
chased the butterfly, and whisted DER our dis
appointment, with "Ne'er mind, wei catch you
again." and chased as heartily, though again dis
appointed, as before! Yes! we were then free
from Care; his wrinkIed face was never seen
among our councillors; his thoughtful voice was
never heard in our ear We would then have
made care himself to hold his sides for glee, had
he seen our gambols as we beguiled the way, and
scarcely saw the sand glass turn.
Yet look now around! Where are all the
gay travellers who begun their journey with US
how few can we now gather around US to talk of
'1ang syne!" Yes! we remember, one of the
merriest of our companions, the very life of our
band soon parted from us-he took another
road we babe him farewell; and the tears for
once trckled on our cheeks, like dew upon the
rose, but as soon were they dried up, and again
were we happy. But one by one separated from
us, some of our choicest bosom friends, shook
hands with death as "the messenger to call them
home," though early; and often do we yet recall
their features, and think of the cup of joy Of
which we partook! Some are now separated by
many weary mile, and many weary hour have
many of them spent. And though, as we have
since, pursued our journey, we have associated
with many fellow-travelers, among whom often
we have spent a happy hour, yet none do we re-
member with such pleasure as those OF youth
They are engraved on our hearts with pens OF
steel; and though time has constantly rubbed the
letters as he passed, memory has often deSpened
them again. Oft, while tired climbing some chill
of difficulty" have we sat down with fsncy''
telescope, to view the joys Of happy youth; and
when the glass brought TO view some favored
spots, how have we fingered DER them! After
leaving them we have returned to them again,
our lips Involuntary mutterlng the songs with
which they were associated, while the tear moist
ened the eye, and the breast heaved With emo

"Youth is not rich in time; it may be poor
Part with it as with money, sparing: pay
No moment but in purchase of its worth;
And what its worth, ask deathbeds-thsy can tell.
Part with it as with life, reluctant; big
With holy hope Of noble time to come;
Time higher aimed, still never, the great mark
ofmen and angels, virtue more divine."-YoUNe

Stories for GbiI0rrn,
The two little Lambs,

Mary Lee is kind little girl. She loves eve
Try thing and when she sees any creature hurt, 1t
makes her cry When Mary was babe, just
big enough to sit on the floor alone, her father
bought her a lamb. At first, she did not like
the looks of the wool She was afraid to put
her fingers on the lambs back The little lamb
said, Baa Baa! and Mary cried, She did
not know that was the way little lambs talk
But very soon Mary loved the lamb
When her brother George asked her, What
is little Mary?' she would say, Nance is moth
,er's pet lamb And when he asked her, What
is the little lambp she would say, The lamb
lis Ma-wee's friend
Every night the lamb stood beside her, when
she ate her bread and milk and she fed him
with her little spoon. Sometimes, when she
drew her little cart about the room, the lamL
ran after her and oh, how Mary would clap her
hands and laugh, Nancy, the nurse, would
laugh, too; for she loved little Mary, and was
pleased to see her happy.
Every day the lamb grew bigger and every
day the little girl grew bigger. One day George
ied his little sister out to the barn. and there she
found two little baby lambs. One Of them wa'
"a black lamb, and one was white lamb.
Mary ran into the house and told her nurse
Nancy, that her lamb had two baby lambs, AM
one was black and the other white. Nancy wa
a black woman. She had little boy nance
Thomas. George and Mary were white chill
dren Thomas was a black child Thoma
loved George and Mary, and George and Mar
loved Thomas.
Nancy went out to the barn with the childre
to see the lambs Little Mary said, VIII;
makes one lamb white and the other lamb black
Nancy told her, God made the white lamb

meadow, and every garden, and that shall flow
on every day and every night with gentle and
quiet beauty. So with the acts Of our lives
1t is not by great deeds only, like those of How
ard, not by great sufferngs only, like those of
the martyrs-that great good is to be done; it is
by the daily and quiet virtues of life-the Chris
tian temper, the meek iorbearance, the spirit of
forgiveness in the husband aud wife, the father,
the mother, the brother, the sister, the friend,
the neghbor, that is to be done; and in this way
all may be useful.-ReU. Albert Barnes.

ton, as we laid aside the glass, and again betook
ourselves to the world
Youth, like every thing connected with time,
passeth quickly away; It's like the "morning
cloud and early dew" How happy they who
have not lived in Vain-who Gin the morning
sowed their seed" and now look forward to the
harvest with its waving crops of yellow grain,
and branches loaded with mellow fruit! "They
shall renew their youth as the eagles, run and
not be weary walk and not be faint; they shall
sing as in the days of their youth" Though
crowned with the snow of age-the closing of
their year-yet they are but young-they have
been "born again." and when translated from
the cold regions which mortas inhabit to the re-
gions of unmingled bliss, they shall be clothed
with immortal youth-crowned with the gifts Of
eternal love.
Let youth beware! We have spoken of the
JOY they have experienced-of the roses scatter
ed around and along their PATH but besides these
roses turks many thorn, and true wisdom will
be shown by pIucking the rose without touching
the thorn. If the straight path is kept, while
the orb of truth shines, then you safe; but if
TO gain every flower, and view every scene, you
diverge to the right hand and to the left, you will
be lost in the mazes Of error, without a mark to
regain your former path. Let your youth be
spent to profit keep the end of life in view, and
StudousIy hold by every principle and practice
which will render this life happy, while it pre-
pares you for a life to come, In youth, life is
like the stream, silently dancing DER the pebble
and scattering its spray as ii trickles down the
glade, glterlng as with joy when the sunbeams
dance upon his path, and murmuring applause to
the melody of the grove. But as it goes onward
it gets stronger-takes wider course; its sound
is louder, and its influence greater; much de-
and lertilizes the vale, or overAows with destruC-
tion some less happy spot. Alas! many, too ma
ny spend their lives to no purpose, but allow them
to run waste and injure every thing they meet
Like the school boy, they follow every gaudy but
terhy, which, with wings of silver and feathers
of yellow gold" sails upon the air and Auuers
in the sunbeam They follow DER every obsta-
Gle, till they either fall exhausted in the (rutless
attempt, or find the gluering feathers fade at
their touch, and fall to the ground with the ex-
piring hopes of their deluded souls
Hear, then, the voice Of inspiration, and at
tend its sacred command-"Redeem the time"
or, in the words of a poet who has re-echoed its
sacred truth:
"Youth is not rich in time; it may be poor
Part with it as with money; sparing pay
No moment but in purchase ofits worth;
And what its worth, ask deah-beds-thsy tell.
Part with it as with life, reluctant; big
With holy hope Of noble time to come;
Time higher aimed, still never the great mark

The Dead,

Wherefore praised the dead more than the living"
They dread no storm that lowers,
No persisted joys bewail,
They pluck no thorn-clad flowers,
Nor drink of streams that fail;
There is no tear-drop in their eye
No change upon their brow;
The placid bosom heaves no sigh,
Though all earth's idols bow.
Who are so greatly blest?-
From whom hath sorrow fed?-
Who share such deep, unbroken rest
While all things toil?-the dead
The holy dead! Why weep ye SO
Above the sable bier?-
Thrice blessed they have done with woe,
The living claim the tear.
Go to their sleeping bowers,
Deck their low couch OF clay
With early springs unclouded flowers,
And when they fade away,
Think of the amaranthine wreath
The bright bowers never dim,
And tell me why thou hyest from death
Or hdest thy friends from him?
Wc dream, but they awake,
Dark visions mar our rest,
Through thorns and snares our way we take,
And net zoe mourn the bleSti
For those who throng the Eternal's throne
Lost are the tears we she'd
They are The Huing-they alone
Whom thus we call the dead.

Passing Thoughts.


That "t is better to suffer wrong than to commit
wrong" is old aphorsm, but none the less true; not
merely because it is the most correspondent with the
dictates of Christ but is actually better in temporal
point of view. We can hardly inhict punishment
more severe him who has injured us without a
cause, provided he has the least magnanmity, than
the cheerful rendering him service. But alas human
nature unassisted seldom enables us to rise so high
1t is NATURAL and sometimes justifable feeling, the
resentment which is awakened by sense of deep in
Jury and wrong The tongue of The sanderer dis
penses bitter gall which falls too fearfuy upon the
heart
ooh poisonous thing is the sanderer's tongue,
Many heart its fangs have sung.
Bleeding bleeding, bleeding many heart
is stung-
Bleeding, bleeding A poisonous thing is the
slanderers tonguc'
But let us remember that dying lips shall be put
to silence" The triumph is but for a moment
Vengeance is mine, will repay, saith the Lord"-
TO Him. then, who udgeth righteously let us commit
our cause Let us show our virtue by our love and
patience and like the wounded bird, sing the sweeter
song. Them though scorned by man, we may secure
the appreciation of the wise and good and what is in
fntey better the paudits of Him who being reviied.

Treatment Of Mexico and Texas by Il
Federal Governments
BIZ JUDGE JAY.

In 1929, the Republic of Mexico having
achieved her own independence, gave liberty to
every slave within her limits. This State had
vast and fertile but thinly peopled territory, adj
iacent to Louisiana. In this territory, within
few years past, large number of adventures from
The United States, had taken up their residence
with the consent, and under the jurisdiction OF
Mexico. These adventures sighed for the sweets
of slavery, which they had enjoyed in their ma
tive land; and as the soil was adapted to the

though anticipated by many. The negotia-
