sentiment in man S nature prompts him
to yield to his mother the homage Of love,
if not as deep and tender. at least as pure
and changeless as her own.
"To me gray hair is beautiful. My
mothers hair is gray" The words were
few and simple enough, but they reveal
ed much. l thought how it would have
quickened the mothers languid pulses,
and how the weary heart, now almost
home, would have leared with joy, had
they fallen on her ears. Involuntarily,
as it were, the man whom the world
called great had offered this tribute O.
filial affection, and expressed his reyer-
ence of the crown of glory" which gray
hairs become TO those who are found in
the paths of righteousness.
Many mother lives, whose grav hairs
have no beauty in the eyes Of her child
ren, and claim no reverence from those
for whose welfare she would cheerfully
pour out her hearts blood. Many mo-
theirs love is repaid by unkindness and
ingratitude. Many an hour of wearisome
toll and patient watching meets with nc
other recompense than deeds, the know
ledge of which wiring her faithful heart
with anguish. Yet through all the mis-
fortunes, even through the dishonor of
ner children, her love knows no variable
ness. Her sympathy is given, though
unsought; it is not forced upon the at
tention, but its soothing power is felt.
In the silent night watches her tears flow
for them unbidden, and her voice goes
up in supplication that He, who never
slumbers, will watch over and comfort
them. In their presence her heart is
never weary Of planning, nor her hand

What to avoid on the Continent.

Avoid all disturbances, and especially all re-
ligeus and political discussions, which are the
sure forerunners OF them. Avoid all cheap ho-
tells, as they are the dearest in the end. Avoid
going into churches, if it is only to turn into
fun the ceremony that may be going on there
Avoid talking too much English, or expressing
your remarks too freely in that language, as
more English is understood nova days on the
Continent than you may probably imagine
Avoid disparaging every thing continental to the
glorifcation of eyerything English, as it only
shows narrow spirit, and besides, the stand
ard of comparison is not always true one.
Avoid laughing at everything you do not under
stand, for the laugh may occasionally be turned
against you, Avoid leaving your name behind
you wherever you go, as the Anglican name of
Smith is sufficiently known by this time on the
public monuments abroad without needlessly
increasing the circulation. Avoid condemning
language you are not acquainted with as
" "gbberlsh,' as an acquaintance with that
same " gibberish' would tend materially to the
advancement of your own pleasures and COM
forts and moreover, you should recollect that
English, to the ear of n foreigner, is not the
most musical language in the world. Avoid
taking English servants with you-male or fe-
male-as they will only grumble all the way,
will be a source Of infinite trouble, expense and
annoyance to you and besides, you will have
to wait upon them instead of their waiting upon
you; and more than that, you might as well
have left them at home, as-depend upon it
you will have no peace or enjoyment in travel
ing, until you have sent them back again
Avoid as many extraordinary costumes as you
can, for it has been found by practical expert
ence that they only excite the risible faculties
of foreigners. Avoid all angry disputes with
officials, or demonstrating Indignantly with
custom m-house officers. as you will not gain any
thinp bY the nrocnss and the chances are thew
will do all they can to retard you on your jour
ney. Avoid all dinner experiments with the
carte, as you will, probably, get something with
n very fine name to it, but which, upon tasting,
is any thing but agreeable to your Britannia pal
ate. Avoid all joking, verbally or practically,
with foreign gentlemen in uniform. Avoid
changing too much money at once, as the coin

The language of China is understood through
out the remote regions of the eastern world
when written, just as the Arabic numerals are
alike in all the languages of Europe. A man
from the province Of Fochau would not under
stand word of the spoken language of Nankin.
A japanese could not make himself understood
to a Chinese; and an inhabitant of Formosa
could do nothing with an inhahtant of Siam;
but the moment they took pen in hand and
wrote the sign which conveyed the idea, then

civil, obliging, tender and humane; they are
ever inclined to be gay and cheerful, timorous
and prudent, and they do not hesitate like men,
to perform generous action, more liable. per-
