Washington was asked how she had
formed the character Of he son, she re-
piled that she had early endeavored 10
teach him three things obedience, dill

be given by any parent.
Teach your children to obey. Let i,
be the first lesson. You can hardly be.
gin too soon. 1t requires constant care
to keep up the habit Of obedience, and
especially to do it in such way as no,
10 break down the strength Of the child's
character.
Teach your child to be dilligent.-The
habit Of being always employed is q
great Safeguard through life, az we'll al
essential to the culture Of almost every
virtue. Nothing can be more foolish
than an idea which parents have that i
is not respectable 10 set their children L
work. Play is good thing, innocen
recreation is an employment, and chile
may learn to be dilligent in that as II
other things. But let them learn to b
useful. As to truth it is the one essen
tial thing. Let every thing else be care
4 fed rather than that. Without it,wha
dependence can you place in your child

" HOPE ON---HOPE EVER !"

Thus spoke one who had reached The
peak of victory. Storms had come upon
him shadows dragged their heavy skirts
over the hills and mountains Of his life ;
cares anl shadows lashel their burdens
upon his shoulders trials, ru lie vicissi-
tuLcs assailcd him-but amid them all
he kept his hope, and now ere the middle
watch was passed, the angels had set
their seals upon him, and dropped upon
his brow the wrealb of triumph. The
gloom was gone forever, and as he stood
with his feet secure, the ksunshines from
tho 'Eaen hills fell around him, and far
out in the valley OF the future he saw the
'fadeless laurel trees within whose shade
his evening'dtys should ebb away, softly
AMI gently as dream of Heaven.
y" Hope on-hope ever this is the true
philosophy. If lille is chilled by passing
woe, or dmmed by care. Hope is a song
bird in the Heart, breathing hymns con-
,inualIy. When Alexander, as he was
about to undertake his expedition agains
Persia ,distribulej the estates of his crown
among his countrymen, he was asked
what he had reserved for himself? lie
answered Hope
So every soldier in liCe's battle field
should preserve his hope, for it shall leat
him on, no matter what opposes, to fame
and conquest.
