A CORRECT TASTE IN CHILDREN.

In many ways the mother can Contribute
to the formation of correct taste. The
first hymns she teaches to the lisper, and
even the earliest notes which she sings for
its lullaby, should he chosen with care The
pictures with which the walls Of the nursery
are adorned should be selected with stu
deus and cultivated regard for real beauty.
Likcnesses of excellent men aud women
whose names you would choose to have your
children love- are very desirable ornament.
A few elegant historical pictures which might
be used as fntroductions to general history,
or which are calculated to inspire noble sen
timents, would be found Of great utility in
every family able to have them. A few well
finished landscape pieces would also tend to
foster love of nature in its cheerful aud su-
blime aspects There is refining and eitec-
tual influence arising from daily familiarity
with the scenery of nature, whether it glows
before us in its original Icveliness, or 10 Che
representation of the genuine artist.

THE FLY ON THE WALL.


"See that Ay on the wall overhead; why
does it not tumble down 7"
Because 1t is so light answered little
girl.
"But dead flies fall down, and dead flies
are as light as live ones; besides, in the ISL
and of Java there are lizards weighing FIVE
or six ounces. which run all over the walls
chasing flies Why does not the lizard fall 7
Because il does not connot think Of
any other reason" answered the little girl
But that is no reason at all for it is law
Of nature that everything which is not held
up, falls to the earth; now. what keeps the
lizard and the fy from tumbling off the smooth
walls Something must" The child can

will tell you. The air is sucked from the
thimblc, so the air outside presses all around
and hslds it tightly down. 1t is SO with the
Iy's foot A fy.s foot has hollow places
from which it can force out the air when the
mir outside presses against the top Of the foot
and holds it on the wall
So also with The lizard. Each of its feet
has FIVE toes. on the under side Of which are
bags. with Sits in them; the creature forces
the air out Of the bags. when the outside air
holds the feet against the ceiling and away
it runs all over the walls.

PRAYER is A MEASURE OF LOVE.

1t is striking remark, ascribed to Saint
Augustine, that prayer is the measure Of love
A remark which implies that those who love
much will pray much, and those who pray
much will love much. This remark is not
more scripturally than philosophically true
1t is the nature of love to lead the person
who exercises this passion, as it were, out of
himself. His heart is continually attracted
toward the beloved object He naturally
and necessarily exercises, in connection with
the object of his love, the communion of the
affections. And thus 1t will be seen, viz
the communion of the affecticns-is the es-
sentia characterised and, perhaps it may
be said, the essence and SUI of prayer, the
soul goes forth to God in various acts of ador
alton, suppication. thanksgiving and praise ;
all of which imply feelings of trust and conf
dence, and particularly love to Him who is
the object Of prayer. Accordingly he who
loves much, cannot help praying much. And
on the other hand, when the streams Of holy
communion with God, fail in any considerable
degree. it is sure sign that there IS a shall
lowness and drought in the fountain of love
from which they have their source.

SLANG.

The use ofslang phrases, to which so many
persons in this country are addicted is if not
an invariable mark of vulgarity. indicative Of
low associations at some period Of life, and a
certain want of dignity and refinement. The
young naturally tall into this habit, so often
sive to good taste. not only because they have
examples in their associates but because the
columns of too many newspapers that fall in
to their hands, abound with low slang. and
the wit and vulgaritv of.hcatre ,uobies and
street corocrs, As the use of such terms
serves no good parpose whatever, but tends
rather to what is low and demoralizing. par
ents ought to especially discountenanee it in
their children; aud So far as themselves are
concerned give up the habit if it should
have insensibly grown upon them Home

AN INCIDENT.


A few days since while at Washington, &
brother who had seen raised from the degra-
dat;on of the gutter to respectable society,
whose family once experienced all the misery
of drunkards home, related to us the sim.
pie story of his reformation, which will be
found in the following words
While 10 state Of sobriety be went to
the shop of a barber, in order to get shaved,
his beard having grown excessively long ana
dirty while spreeing. After being properly
shaved he went home, and put on some clean
clothes. He then took up paper and was
engaged in reading when bis little daughter

zing on the clean shaved face of her father,
said to her mother Mother, don't papa look
pretty when lie don't drink 2 and then turn
ing to her father said Papa; you won't drink
any more. will you? 2 The appeal was not
made in yain-It fixed the heart of the faith
err. His resolution was taken. He then and
there solemply pledged himself to his wife,
bis child and God, that he would thenceforth
and forever abstain from the Intoxicating
bowl
Years have rolled their annual rounds since
that pledge was gwen, and the father has re-
ligiously kept his promise That now happy
family is gliding along with tie rapidity Of
time toward the ocean of eternity soon they
will pass though the gloomy portsls Of the
tomb, and enter the paradise Of their God,
where happiness forever dwells
And now dear reader, If it should be your
lot to share the joys of heaven. and yon be-
hold, while gazing over millions Of the redeem
ed Of the earth, little troupe around the
throne of God you will see in the crown o.
one a brighter gem than all the Others and
should you ask the reason why this is, the
answer will be horne back to your listening
ears. ain yonder world that child was made
