speak kindly.

In our daily intercourse with those we
love-in our family relations as husbands
and wives, parents and children, brothers
and ssters-a constant watchfulness ought
to be maintained .oIkN our words and ac-
tons, in order to asuid inflicting unneces-
sary pain. How frequently does it occur,
that word unkindly spoken TO those Ne
once loved, but who have been since remoV-
ed by the hand of death. will haunt our
memory long afterward. like an avenging
demon. causing US poignant and vain re-
grets! Years after the circumstance has
passed out of our minds and the mind Of
the friend we have grieyed or wronged, if
some sudden calamity befalls him, or some
unexpected summons calls hinn away from
earth, and removes him from the scope Of
our ability to make redress, will the awak
ened memory Of the unkind act or word
cloud the melancholy reflections of our wax
ing hours, and even haunt our dreams. But
the most bitter and poignant reflections arise
when we have parted in unkindness from
some one connected with us By the tenderst
des, and then, no opportunity occurs to eff
feet reconciliation, the person We have IN
iured isremoved from us suddenly By death.
Then comes the period Of vain regrets and
unayailing seIf-reproach. What would We
give for moment Of time to ask and obtain
forgiveness from that loved one we have
wronged! but. alas! too late! too latel
The experience Of an acquaintance, re-
lated by himself not long ago, illustrates
most forcibly the above position, He had
been living, he said, away from home for
several months, and was on visit Of week
or two at his fathers house. The father
was man Of the most Incorporating IN
tegrity. and cherished strong. though hon
est prejudice againstsalI light or transient
an1usements. He had never allowed his
children, while under bis control, TO attend
dancing parties or shows, or to mingle in
the sports which most men regard as unob
iectionable. or, at least. not altogether 70 be
condemned The consequence was, that
the children. as is usual under similar cir
cumstances. were fond Of INDUCING il the
interdicted pleasures, and we're apt. when
an opportunity did occur. to carry them too
far. They felt that their father was prompt

Il Psalm or Life.A PARoDr.


What the Heart Of the Young Woman sad
the Old Maid.
By HENRY W. sHoRTFELLow.
Tell me not in idle jingle,
Marriage is an empty dream!''
For the girl is dead that's single,
And girls IRE not what they seem.
Life is real! life is earnest!
Single lessedness a fib!
Man thou art, to man returnest,"
Has been spoken of the rib.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow
Is our destined end or way;
But TO act, that each Tomorrow
Find US nearer marriage day.
Life is long, and youth is feeting,
And our hearts though light and gay,
Still, like pleasant drums, are beating
Wedding marches all the way.
In the worlds broad field Of battle,
In the biyouac of life,
Be not like dumb. driven cattle!
But heroine-a wife!
Trust no future, howe'er pleasant,
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Aet-act to the living Present!
Heart Within and hope ahead!
Lives of married folks remind us
We can live our lives as we'll,
And, departing, leave behind US
Such examples as shall "tell..
Such example, that another
Wasting time in idle sport,
A forlorn, unmarried brother,
Seeing, shall take heart and court.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With heart on triumph set;
Still contriying, still pursuing,
And each one husband get!
