ON PRAyER.-l. So far as we know,
prayer forms part of every system of
religion on earth.
z. In proportion as form of religion
lis unscriptural, it corrupts and peryerts
this duty.
2. Hypocrites never really love pray
er, and therefore never, for long time
together, practice secret prayer.
4. He who declines prayer in the day
of prosperity, will not find it easy in the
day of adversely.
b. Prayer not offered in the name of
Christ is unavaiiing. The reason is,
that he alone is worthy:
8. No time, nor place, nor form, nor
posture is displeasing to God, if the
heart is right. IF the heart is wrong,
all is wrong,
Z. He who prays at stated times only
will make but poor progress heaven
ward. He who prays not at all at stated
times, will soon omit all prayer.
.. The greatest benefit of public pray
Ter Is secured when it makes US love Sc
|cret prayer more and more.
8. A family that never prays, coyets
misery and courts wrath. Better no
bread than ne prayer.
10. Those who would pray Alright,
must come to Christ and say, "Lord,
teach us to pray"
IL. A prayer that has no faith in it,
Us like human body without soul in it.
1t is dead and loathsome.
IL. Elijah's prayer brought down
fire from heaven, because, being fervent,
it carried fire up to heaven Thomas
Watson.
CLERG yMEN.-Some people talk a
great deal about ministers, and the cost
Of keeping them, paying their holise-rent,
table expenses, and other items of sa-
Harry. Did such ever thfns that 1t costs
thirty-fve million dollars TO pay the SAL
aries Of American lawyers /; that twelve
million of dollars are paid out annually
to keep our criminals, and ten millions
of dollars to keep the dogs in the midst
of US alive, while only six millions Of
dollars are spent annually to keep six
thousand preachers in the United States?
These are facts, and statistics will show
them to be facts. No one thing exerts
such mighty influence in keeping this
mighty Republic from falling to pieces
as the Bible and its minister's Elk.

TIE SMITH FAMlLY.-The matter has
boon compromised in some manner-at
least, our Wing friend did not appear
and claim his rights as we expected. In
his absence, George B. the younger came
forward, and swore he would do as well
as he could, and was accordingly consid-
cred duly inaugurated as Attorney Gen
eral. The precise sum which he had to
pay the schoolmaster for absenting him
self we have not yet been sble TO ascer-
taln.-TState Journal.

PRACTICAL RULES.

| all our patrons and friends, for their ax-
Icelience, brevity and practical utility
They are worthy of being printed In let
tiers of gold and placed in a co.is picuous
position in every household. 1t IS la
mentable to contemplate the mischief
ruin and misery, which ara the lepiti-
mate fruit of. those deficiencies which
are pointed out in the rules to which we
have referred. Let every parent and
guardian read, ponder and inwardly d.
lgest g.
i. From your ohildren's earliest in
fancy, inculcate the necessity of instan,
obedience.
2. Unite firlnness with gentleness.
Let your children always understand
that you mean exactly what you say.
8. Never promise them anything un-
less you are quite sure you can give them
what you promise.
4. If yeu tell child to do something
show him how to do it and see that it Is
| done.
5. Always punish your children for
Iwilfuliy disobeying yol, bat never Isss.a.,
ISL them in anger.
6. Never let them perceive that thew
can vex you or make you lose your self
command.
Z. If they give way to petulance and
temper, wait till they are calm and thea
gently reason with them on the i,npro-
priety of their conduct.
3. Remember that a little present pun
ishment when occasion arises, is much
more efectual than the threatening of a
greater punishment should the fault be
renewed.
8. Never give your children ANYTHING
because they cry for it.
10. On no account allow them to do at
one time what you have forbidden under
the like circumstance at another.
IL. Teach them that the only sure
and easy way to appear good is to be good.
II. Accustoin them to make their lit
tie recitals with perfect truth.
Ii. Never allow tale-bearine.
IA. Teach them that self-denial, not
self-indulgence, is the appointed, and the
surest method of securing happiness.
10. Guard them against the indulgence
OF an angry ard resentful spirit.
10. Above all, strenuously endeavcr
to give your children a knowledge of
things instead of knowledge of words.
The rules are plain and simple enough
one would think, and easy Of observance
by parents but how often are they re-
duced to practice +? Not by one in a
thousand! The great majority of parents
seem to rest satisfied that because a
child attends to school, and learns by
rote few elementary rules, that all's
right; net to mention great multiplici-
ty of words, about the meaning of which
they know nothing!
This is all wrong, and hence the Toe
many ounces at twenty, and the labor OF
the teacher gone. It is here that the pa
rent should assist the school seacher.-
1t is his duty to do so. "Understandes,
thou what thou readest ?'' was a ques-
ton put long time ago, and should be
kept in mind by every parent. There
is much to be learned at the family
hearth.-[ N. Carolina Old North State
