PLEASANT SURPRIsE.-A young man
Of eighteen or twenty, a student in a uni
versiy, took a walk one day with profes-
sor, who was commonly called the students
friend, such was his kindness 10 the young
men whom il was his office to instruct
While they were now walking together.
and the professor was seeking to lead the
conversation to grave subjects, they saw a
pair Of old shoes, lying in the path, which
they supposed belonged to poor man who
was al work in the field close by, and who
had nearly finished his days work.
The young student turned to the profess
sor saying:
"Let us play the man a trick; we will
hide his shoes and conceal ourselves behind
these bushes and watch to see his perplexi-
ty when he cannot find them"
"My dear friend," answered the professor,
eve must never amuse ourselves at the ex-
pense of the poor. But you are rich, and
may give yourself much greater pleasure
by means Of this poor man. Put dollar in
each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves -
The student did so, and then placed him
self with the professor behind the bushes
hard by through which they could easily
watch the laborer, and see whatever wonder
or joy he might express.
The poor man soon finished his work,
and came across the field to the path where
he had left his coat and shoes. While he
put on his Goa, he slipped one foot into one
Of his shoes; feeling something hard, he
stopped down and found the dollar. As
;.h1 nj 4 l.:
tenance; he gazed upon the dollar, turned
it around, and looked again and again then
he looked around on all sides, but could see
no one. Now he put the money in his
pocket, and proceeded to put on the other
shoe; but how great was his astonishment
when he found the other dollar! His feel
ings overcame him, he fell upon his knees,
looked up to heaven, and uttered loud and
fervent thanksgiving, in which he spoke of
his wife, sick and helpless, and his children
without bread, whom this timely bounty
from some unknown hand would save from
perishing.
The young man stood there deeply af-
fected, and tears in his eyes.
"Now," said the professor, care you not
much better pleased than if you had played
your intended trick ;"
90, dearest sir" answered the youth,
''you have taught me lesson now that J
will never forget. feel now the truth of
the words which never before understood,
::i is better to give than receive"
We should never approach the poor but
with the wish to do them good.
A GHosTLY WIsH-s'I wish was a
ghost, blamed if DON'T" said poor covey,
the other night, as he sat soliloquzing in
the cold"
"They goes wherever they peases, toll
free they don't owe nobody nothing and
that's comfort. Who ever heerd tell Of a
man what had bill againsta ghost 20
"Nobody."
"They never buy hats, and vittals, and IL

THE EARLIER THE EASIER.

There are some who tremble and some
who sneer at youthful conversions. Know
ing the early impressibili.y of the young
heart, they fear that early religious emotions
may prove only as ''the morning cloud and
the early dew" But proper. rational view
of this subject can scarcely fail to convince
the most skeptcal, that the earlier children
are converted, after they reach the period Of
personal accountability, the easier is the
work wrought. 1t is fatal mistake to rea-
son that when the pleasures of life have
been exhausted, when growing age shall
have dlmmed the senses, when the appetites
shall have been appalled, by safety, i. will
be easier TO devote the heart to God. All
experience and all philosophy deny it.
The religious instruction impaired to the
young in this age, especially in the Sabbath
school, makes them early familiar with the
fundamental truths Of the Gospel. The
prophecy is becoming fulfilled, "There shall
be no more an infant Of days, for the child
shall die an hundred years old" All the
A'to1cledge necessary to conversion may be
attained in early youth.
10 youth the affections are most ardent.
It-is peculiarly the season Of love. The
young are capable the strongest and mos,
self-sacrficlng affection. The strongest ap-
peals Of Christianity are made to the affec-'
tions. The only word which sums up the
whole of pe,y is 7oue. Therefore youth is
the best season for commencing life Of
piety.
In youth the hopes are most bright Then
the future is adorned with the most brilliant
and attractive hues-and Christianity pre-
senls the most gorgeous scenes IN glowing
imagery to the Imagination, to induce life
Of piety.
Faith is most confding in youth. The
young are trusting, ready to believe. Re-
ligion demands implicit faith; youth most
naturally and easily gives it, and is, there
fore, the best season for commencing life
Of piety.
The mind is most docile in youth. As
years advance, men become more and more
tenacious Of their own views and opinions.
Entire submission to the teachings of inspi-
ration is necessary to piety, and this is most
easily given in early life.
The habits are most yielding in youth.
How important, then, when they are form
'hS' 'ho' 'hS Oe uiIcCtcu dIISII
Youth is most Submissive to authority.
1t is the season of obedience. The unques-
tionable obedience which God demands is
most easily rendered in early life.
The energies of youth are most active.
Young hands for labor. Years deaden the
energies. Religion requires the exer.ion of
all our energies to resist evil and TO do good.
These are most active and most easily di-
verted in youth.
The judgment in youth is best fitted to
the claims of piety. The judg
ment Of imper,inent age is prejudced, and
blinded, and warped by sin. One who
has ndul ged and loved sin cannot, so easily
as The more unpolluled mind form correct
judgment Of the guilt of sin. "Can the E.
thiopian change his skin, or the leopard his
spots then may ye, who have been accus-
toned to do evil, learn to do well.'

WooLENs AND FURs. = Many persons
suppose that the best way 10 prevent moths
from getting into woolens or furs, is occa-
sionally though the summer to hang these
articles in the sun and rain. This is great
mistake, as it is by such exposure that the
moths are most likely to get into them. On
the contrary, in the spring, when the sea-
son is over for furs and woolens, they should
be well shaken and brushed and then wrap
ped up tightly in linen, laying among them
Jumps Of camphor; handsful of fresh hops;
cedar shavings, and above all fat pine wood
shavings, all of which are preventives TO
moths, the camphor is by far the best for
furs. All wooIens, &C., should be kept
during the summer unopened, in dark dry
places such as drawers or large ches.s.-
Cedar presses are preferable to all others,
for keeping cloths OF other woolen ar.i-
cles. Hair trunks rarely fail to introduce
moths. The month Of June is the best
time 10 put away flannels.
