The Boy Of The Times.

We like an active boy, says the Southern Or
gan, one who has the impulse of the age-of the
steam eugine-in him. A lazy, plodding snail
paced chap, might have got along in the world
fifty yearsag but he won't do for these times.
We live in an age ofquickideas: men think quick,
speak quick, eat, cleeP, court, marry, die quick
and slow coaches are not tolerated "Go ahead if
you burst your boiler is the motto of the age;
and he succeeds the best in every line of business
who has the most, of do or die him.
Strive boys, to catch the spirit of the times: be
up and dressed always, not gaping and rubbing
your eyes, as if you were half asleep, but wide
awake, whatever may turn up-and you may be
somebody before you die.
Think, plan, reflect as much as you please,
before you act; but think quickly and closely,
and when you have fixed your eye upon an object,
spring to the mark at once.
But above all things be honest. If you intend
to be an artist, carve it in the wood chiseI it in
the marble: if merchant, write it in your day
book and spread it in capitals in your ledger
Let honesty of purpose be your guidinf star.

From the American Messenger
Nv Mother taUght Me


found in prison sailor considerably advanced
in years. A few questions drew out the following
short story of his long life. He was born in the
state of Maine. He was left an orphan when very
young. He went to sea at ten years of age He
had been many years in the commercial marine,
and ten in the United States navy.
"Had you religious instruction." 1 inquired
'when you were youDg?"
"Yes; my mother was pious moman, and taught
me such things"
do you remember any thing you learned from
her?' He walked the room for while, and at
length repeated broken couplet Of hymn. ]
wish could remember what it was, but it has es
capped me. Nearly, or quite half a century had
rolled away since that soft and loving voice had
spoken the words OF divine instruction to the ear
of her child. But all the years and storms and
temptations and changes through which that, rough
man had pressed, had not quite obliterated Them
How deeply do mothers tones penetrate the soul
How indebe the impressions of Gods truth
This poor fellow was in Jail for a fit Of drunken
ness. l saw him after his release, and he was vel
clad, and seemed serious and thankful for the in
structon and the books l gave him. May hi
mothers God have mercy on him.
Mothers, teach your children the word of Cox
and the songs of Zion. A scrap of a verse, cou
plet of hymn may prove clue to lead the wan
dering soul back to God.

From the American Messenger.
The French BOy.

In a French city there lived a little boy whose
name was George. One day he was so interested
by missionary sermon that he whispered into the
ear of his governess, "Please to lend me Napolo-
on twenty French francs, or S4 for the heathen y
She replied that that was rather too much money.
But he answered, he had as much gold of his own
at home. The governess thought he had better
first ask his mothers opinion about it. So George
while the last hymn was being sung, ran home in
breathess haste to lay his request before his mo-
ther. Suppose said She "you should only give
one half of the amount" NO" replied George.t'I
would rather give the whole" "Wel, /" said his mo-
ther, "take these four fve-franc peices" Said the
boy, "Ah, you had better give me a gold piece"
then l can lay it between two sous, French cop
pers) ''and nobody viii see how much 1 put into
the bag" His mother satisfied with this explana-
nation, gave him the gold peiee, when he joyfully
ran back to the church with it. Since then, the
little boy has fallen asleep in Jesus.

"What do l hear?" said the old man, "Thomas
Bonner your grandfather"
Yes lisped the boy and he lives with me at"
"Get me my cane," said the old man, @and come
Ellen, be quick, child"
They started off at a quick pace, which soon
brought them to the poor, though neat lodgings OF
his son. There he beheld his old friend Thomas
Bonner, seated in one corner, weaving baskets,
while his swarthed limbs showed how unable he was
to perform the necessary task. His lovely daugh-
ter, the wife of Charles was preparing their frugal
meal, and Charles was out seeking employment to
support his needy family.
"It's all my fault" sobbed the old man as be en-
braced his friend, who was petrifed with amaze
ment.
Come, y said Mr.. Wheatly, "come all Of you
home with me, we will all live together there is
plenty of room in my house for US all.'
By this time Charles had come. And asked his
lather's forgiveness, which was freely given, and
Ellen was almost mad with joy.
80, how happy we shall be-" she exclaimed and
father will love our little Thomas so, and he'll be
your pet, won't he father?"
