Training of the Mind.

A sound moral discipline, and well regu
lated mind, can, under God, carry man
through life so that he will moi be the sport
and the victim of every change that fits aero. s
the scene. And it cannot be too anxously
borne in mind, that this great attainment is in
a remarkable degree under the influence of
habit.
Every day that passes, and every step that
we take, without making it the object of earn
est attention, renders the requirement more
difficult and uncertain, until period at length
arrives when no power exists in the mind ca.
pable of correcting the disorder which habit
has fixed. The frivolous mind may then con-
tinue frivolous to the last, amusing itself with
rif1es, or creating for itself fctions of the fam
cy, no better than dreams. The distorted
mind may continue to the last eagerly pursu
ing its speculations, departing further from
the truth and the vitiated mind may contin-
ue to the last, the slave of It's impure and de-
grading passions. Such is the power, and
such the result of mental habits. We cannot
determine how many acts of frivolity may
constitute the permanently frivolous mind
how many trains of impure thought may corr
stilute the corrupted mind or what degrees
OF inattention to the diigent culture Of the
powers within may be fatal TO our best inter
esls. In early life, aim at the mastery OF the
mind; give earnest attention to the trains of
thought encouraged, as habits may be thus
| unconScionSlv formed the infuenoo of wh oh
may be permanently irrenedabe and peril
the happiness of life and the immortal inter
ests of the soul.

Men Acting in Communities.


1t is the DUTY of every citizen to exert him
self, In all proper ways, to augment the good
and to diminish the evil of the community in
which he dwells. Public spiritedness is not an
optional virtue. tits the DUTY of every citizen.
God will judge the man who seIfshly enjoys the
protection Of good laws, and the blessings of
morality and enterprise in well regulated
community. A man is as much bound 10 con-
tribute 10 the welfare of the community in
which he lives, as he is 10 contribute 10 the
support of his own household. He will he as
really guilty, though the guilt may not be as
heiuous in the one case as in the other A
man should be ashamed 10 lie at the breast of
society all his life, and never to grow up to re-
pay the generous mother that sucked him.
Yet, thousands there are, who regard it 10 be
the duty of society 10 take care OF the citizen
and of the cit zen to fleece society for his own
profit, 10 the utmost limit of safety. How
shonld they know any better? AS long as
sordid papers tell cowardly pulpits that teach
ing men their civil duties is an unwarrantabe
stret'h Of privilege, and unfai,hful ministers
heed the pleasan, lie, how can citizens be ex.
pected 10 be wiser than their teachers ? Both
60 headlong into the ditch.
On the other hand, il is a part of every mans
duty TO give the weight Of his influence to the
correc ion of every evil which infesis society.
This, too, we ow Q 10 society for The protection
which ii gives Us. II is debt Not 10 pay it

A Beautiful Thought.


Life is beautifully compared to fountain
fed by thousand streams, that perish if one
be dried. 1t is a silver chord twisted with
thousand strings, that part asunder if one be
broken. Frail and thoughtless mortals are
surrounded by innumerable dangers, which
make it much more strange that they escape
so long, than that they almost all perish sud
denly at last We are encompassed with ac-
cidents every day to crush the Wondering
tenements that we inhabit. The seeds of dis
ease are planted in our constitutions by nature.
The earth and the atmosphere whence we
draw the breath of life is impregnated with
death, health is made to operate its own de-
struction The food that nourishes, contains
the elements of decay; The soul that animales
It by viyifying fire, tends to wear it out by
its own acton--death turks in ambush along
our paths. Notwithstanding this truth, so pal.
pably confirmed by the daily examples before
our eyes, how little do we lay it to heart we
see our friends and neighbors perishing among
us, but how seldom does it occur to our
thoughts that our knell shall, perhaps, give
the next fruilless warning TO the world!
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1851-01-30
Neatness and Order.

Among the means of domestic comfort
there is scarcely any so important as what is
called household furniture. Most persons
must have felt that much of their we'll being
depends on the articles intended for our daily
and nightly use. A little attention to these
matters is of more consequence than many
persons believe; keeping up appearances
within reasonable bounds is a very laudabIe
endeavor. Appearances are, in many respects
realities; children brought up in well con-
Quoted home, where they see every day shelf
or two of books, few tasteful vases and 9TH
er ornaments, or pictures on the wall, clean
curtains and blinds, and well swept carpets,
look upon them all as realities, and without
knowing il, they grow up with a conviction of
their value, and in most cases prove it by
keeping their own household in order. A
proper and becoming attention to appearances
is often a warrant for true responsibility of
character; and it is sometimes said, that
you never really know people till You have
seen what their indoor life is.

Wise Admonition.

There is beauty and force in language,
when rightly put together, which fascinate
and thrill the senses; and the late Professor
Kirkland, in his biography of Fisher Aims,
gives the following beautiful sentiment =
"When vice approaches the youthful mind, in
the seductive form of beloved companion,
the ordeal, becomes threatening and danger
Gus in the extreme. Few possess the pru.
