THE POWER OF LOVE.

The sentiment Of love is too often made
light Of: that which is the most poten,
agency OF this earth-that which has been
the central fire of many OF those revolu.
tions, is mockingly referred to, as if il
were subject for trihing. But love in a
woman has true meaning. Love in a
man is an ennobling passion; it is as dew
upon the howers-as purple dawn upon
the sky--as the quiet streamlet in the val.
ley-as an orchard resplendant with blos-
SONS, it is as mere morning prayer-ii
is an evening hymn-it Is as child asleep,
dreaming Of heaven. Itmay be as del
ugs that spreads around the viewless waste,
without above, olive-branch, or rainbow,
it may be as fruitful field withered by
winds; it may be as delectable mountain,
thrown asunder by the inward fire: it may
be as the home sickness of the exile; il
may be despair; it may be insanity tha,
sings long and melancholy airs; it may be
insanity that laughs aloud and then ex.
pires.

THE BRAVE MAN.

There is nothing which brave and
persevering man may not accomplish.
Heat and cold, mountains and seas, and
sunshine. are alike to him, when he is
bent upon his object. He pushes ahead, :,
never firing or fainting until his proud de-,
sign is achieved. Whether il is riches Or,
honors, he permits no obstacles to impede,
his progress. The histories OF all dis.
tinguished men, from Alexander to Ma.
poleon. show that it was perseverance, that
made them distinguished above their fel.
lowmen. And you young man, il deter
mined in your course, whatever end you
have in view, shall be respected and hon.
ored. Never permit your energies TO slum--
Der, but be ever active in whatever field
you choose to labor. To lag. to stop, to
doubt, to hang your head in fear, wilb
prove disastrous to your best interests. 'i4

THE STREET SCHOOL.

When boys are sent on errands. they
sometimes stop by the way and take street
lessons They 60 out of the way, stand
on corners. and cape at new sights.
There are classes Of street schools at the
doors of the theatre and circus and when
ever there is fire, procession or train
ing, or whenever crowd follows the
constable and his prisoner.
The street lessons are various. Idleness
is the FIRST and chief. Curiosity about evil
is the next.-Boldness and impudence
are also taught. Then comes profane
and filthy words, vile jests, unclean songs,
quarrelling, fighting, and even drinking
After while, the pupils in the street school
are far enough advanced to 60 to the up.
per institutions. such as the Jail and the
aims house.
Thousands OF parents favor this school.
and some who pass for good people. 1t
Is less troublesome than any other. If
you wish your boy to be entered as street
scholar, all you have to do is to let him
alone. Take no care about his company;
never rebuke him for coming late from
school or an errand; do not trouble your.
self about the way he passed his evenings;
never mind what time he comes home at
night. Especially do not trouble yourself
in sending him 10 Sunday school.
The street school is very expensive
The price is not paid in advance or in
ready money, but it is sure to be demand.
ed with heavy interest. The payment is
loss of conscience, loss of character, often
loss Of health, and always loss of happi-
ness. ....

basking in the genial sunshine of Inbound
ed wealth. Charles Amery feltlhe change,
and in contrasting the present with the
past, he was plunged into deeper meIan-
choly than before; he was soon aroused,
however. by high language, coming from
the street; he glanced up and down the
same, to ascertain the cause, when 10 /! a
sight that made his very soul sicken met
his view.
AT the foot Of the street he beheld his
father reeling about, much TO the amuse.
ment Of group of ill-bred urchins, who
were showing forth the same, much to the
annoyance Of the reeling inebriate. who
was venting his fury upon them in vocfer-

scarcely had time to command his feelings,
when OF sudden, he beheld his wretched
parent prostrated full length upon the
pavement! Quicker than thought he toss
ed aside his book, grasped his hat, and
was soon upon the spot. He Instantly
summoned carriage, and the filthy, boat-
ed wretch was ensconsed within, and con-
veyed to his home.
When arrived there. Charles Amery be.
held in the supposed insensible form of
his parent. a corpse! Nature had endur.
ed its utmost, and that last draught had
proved iatalr-had consummated his mad
career.
The bereaved performed the last sad
Offices for him, whom, during his life. no
prayers tears no entreaties could save from
this terrible fate; and afterwards, removed
to distant city. where, through the efforts
of Charles Amery. prosperity was again
restored TO them.
Years have passed since then, and
Charles Amery has arisen to eminence.
He never, in recalling the past, regrets the
efforts made in the dark and trying hour
Of Adversity.-And now, as his little ones
cluster about him, he rehsarses to them the
sad tale eff his past experience. and enjoins
upon them to be dutiful.

GOOD PAINT FOR BRICK DWELL
INGS.

A writer in the New York Tribune, re-
marking on the Milwaukee brick, as a
handsome building material, says that it is
too expensive, and that the same effect
can be produced by cheap kind ofpaint,
more suitable, and far cheaper, for color
ing brick than oil paint, which is very ex-
pensive.-He says:
"Oil paints expensive, and is not, wheri
on, just the thing for brick; but paint
may be made for brick without any oil,
much better than with. The brick dwell.
ing in which | reside has coat Of paint
upon it; which has been there several
years and is now quite as fresh as when
painted, and likely to remain so several
years more. The basis OF the paint is
common lime mixed with water. The re-
quisite shade may be made by adding
colors used by house painters. Sulphate
of zine is the fixing ingredient. know in
my mind buildings that have been stand
ing quite long time without the renewal
OF paint. The composition costs but little
more than common whitewash. The same,
adding Venetion red, or yellow ochre, or
burnt sienna, as the taste of the owner
may require. and the sui phate Of zine.
This paint was highly commended by the
late A. J. Downing; good authority in
such matters. 1t forms a cement with
brick, with nothing but the severest fric-
ton will remove. | have seen quite a
number of buildings with Milwaukee brick
fronts, but have noticed dull. rusty look
about the edges of the brick, that materially
destroys the good effect of the cream color.
A much clearer and richer cream color
may be obtained by using the common red
brick with this composition, with yellow
ochre for the coloring matter. For country
houses, a somewhat more lively and war.
mer color may be got by the addition of
Venetion red 10 the ochre, in small por-
tions"

A STORY FOR BOYS

1t is related of Partisan mother, that
on giving her son forty pieces of silver as
his portion, she made him swear never to
tell a lie, and said. $50 my son, con-
sign thee to God, and we shall not meet
again till the day ofjudgement.
The youth went way, and the party
he travelled with was assaulted by robbers
One asked the boy what he had got, and
he said: "Forty dinars are sewed up in
my garments" He laughed, thinking he
jested.-Another asked the same question
and received the same answer.
At last the chief called him and asked
him the same question, and he said. /"
have told two Of your people already that
have forty dinars sewed up in my clothes.
He ordered the clothes to be ripped open.
and found the money.
sand how came you to tell this?" said
he. tai y
"Because," replied the child, l would
not be false 10 my mother, when promis.
ed never to tell lie." 7' ats
"Child," said the robber, cart thou SO
mindful Of thy duty to thy mother at thy
years and am insensible at my age oi
the duty owe to God? Give me thy hand
thatH may swear repentance on it." He
did so, and his followers were struck with
the scene. t#s' III
"fou have been our,leader in guilt"
said they to the chief, "be the same in the
path Of virtue, and they instantly made
restitution Of their spoils and vowed repen.
tance on the boys hand.
There is moral in this story. which
goes beyond the direct influence Of the
mother on the child. The noble sentimen,
Infused in the breast Of the child is again
transiused from breast TO breast till those

CONFESSIONS OF A PICKPOcKEr.

.
An old offender, being recently sentsn-
ced to the State Prison in New York,
made declaration, on request, of the -.
crets OF his success, from which the follow.
ing is an extract:
"lnever." said the pickpocket, "attempt
the pocket of any old resident Of city,
but uniformly strangers and countrymen."
But on being asked how he distinguished
them, he replied, "very easily" and gave
the following list Of persons who were the.
regular victims Of the "crah."
"Persons in an omnibus who take out
their pocket books after the stage stops,
are sure to be countrymen. Those who
stop TO converse on the side. walks or in.
thoroughfares, or who take out pocket.
books at the box or pit Offices Of theatres.
or steamboat Offices. All those who stop
to gaze at shop windo ws, or count money,
or show pooket.books in the street or cali
in at the Funk auction rooms. All these,
said he "are our common victims" 19ls

The shrewdness of these observstions
of the pick pocket must be obviousto al

BILE fact that city residents seldom suffer
by the operations Of these light fingered
gentry.-N. Y. Express.
