Re Kind TO the Old.

life. for thou knowest not what sutterngs they
may have ENDURED, how much il may still be
their norton to bear. Are they queruous and
unreasonable? Allow not thine anger to klndle
AGAINST them-rebuke them not, for doubtless,
many and severe have been the crosses ahd trl-
ais Of earlier years, and perchance, their dIsPo'
sitions. while in the "spfing time OF liie," were
more gentle and flexible than thine own. DO
thew require aid Of theel Then fenderlt cheer
fully. and forget not that the time may come
when thou mavest desire the same assislance
from others that now thou renderest unto them.
IJo all that is needCul fof the old, and do it with
alacritv. and think il not Hard if much is requii
red al thine hand. lest when age has sci its seal
uronthy brow, and filled thy limbs with trem-
binp. there NAV be found those who will wait
upon thee willingly, and who will feel relieved
when the coffinlidhas closed onlhy face forav r.
The old must soon pass from this to another
world. Is il world Of bliss! Then though

prince is said 10 be Arabia, but whether 1t is Ara

his immediate father is not known. but there is
good evidence that he is descended from the
great line of "grand Internal peers familiarIy
known 0y The names of Belial, Beelzebub, Mo-
loch, Mammon, and Lucifer. In the early days
of his boyhood he was a promising intelligent
and inofensive youth, and on account oil MS
rapid progress in the study of medicine, and
his great success in the healing art, he bid fail

A Chapter for young Husbands.

Walking the other day with valued friend
who had been confined week or two by sick
ness 10 his room, he remarked that husband
might learn good lesson by being confined &C.
casonally to his house, by having in this way
an opportunity Of Witnessing the cares and nev.
er.ending tolls of the wife, whose burdens and
duties, and patient endurance, he might never
have otherwise understood. There is great
deal in this thought, perhaps enough fer an "ed-
itoriaI." Men, especially young men, are cal
led by their business during the day mostly a.
wavirom home, returning only at the hour Tor
meals; and as they then see nearly the same
routine of duty, they begin to think that It !;
their own lot TO perform all the drudgery, anc
TO be exercised with all the weight of care ant
responsi bility. But such man has gotta very
wrong view Of the case; he needs an opporlu

perhaps for this very reason that kind PfoVl

the publications Of Mr.. SEARS. These publien-

them 10 the favorable consideration Of read
