Honor thy Mother.

"Come on, boys come on boys" shouted
Harvey B. to group ofhis playmates.
"Whore where"
"Lets 90 down to the river and have a
good skate; I'll show you how to cut your
names scientifically"
eyes come on let's 60! let's go!'
"Where are You going ,Nlilard!"
81 am going home"
"Come on, don't back out"
81 dare not 60 without the consent of my
mother"
Coward! coward! coward cried the
boys.
II would not be such child as to ask my
mother to permit me to go where wanted
top
"['m not coward ?' replied Willard, his
eyes flushing, and his manly form erect; "Im
not a coward l promised my mother |
would not 60 where there was danger, with
out first obtaining permission frem her.
He is right" said George, II am going
with him to ask my mother Also
"You can wait, or 60 on, as you choose"
said Willard II am going Immediately, and
if she consent I'll join YOU" and he turned
on his heel and walked off with George.
"Let them Co." cried Harvey They're
the milk sops,' we the braves, and he ran to-
wards the river on followed by all of the
boys.
1t was early in spring, and the sun was
thawing the ice very fast, which made it dan
gerous to 60 on it, and for that reason Mil
lard would not 60.
Harvey was bad boy he respected nei-
Their his father nor his mother; he prided
himself on his manIiness. smoked segars, and
was coming on very fast,
Millard respected his mother, obeyed her
in all things, loved all his playmates and
feared God.
How many Millards and Harveys l wander
there are who read the Sun every week |
tblnk not many Harveys.
Dear boys do you always obey your moth
or? Do you respect her? IF | were to say
you did not love her, you would be very much
shocked, would you nots Well, you must
prove your love by obeying her always.
As soon as boy thinks he is to old to O.
boy his mother, scorns her counsel, smokes
segars, runs with fire companies, stands at
corners making remarks on all who pass, then
it is all up with him. l would not think
much of him, but pity him and think of his
poor mother, his wasted youth and unhappy
old age. Many ruined man looks back tc
the time when he first disobeyod his mother
when he was tempted to do wrong, as thu
stepping-stone to all his misery. If you have
the moral courage you will never fear to b.
called coward. The real coward, is he WHIT
disobcys his mother from fear Of ridicule.-

The Young Mans Leisure,

Young man after the duties of the day

When business is dull, and leaves at your

Mental Disciplien,

No branch of study can be compared with
mathematics as means ef mental discipline.
We would not depreciate other branches of
education, at taught in our schools, for the
purpose of unduly advancing mathematical
science, but we do not hesitate to say, that
its early introduction and thorough pusuit by
most, ii not all classes Of students, are Of
infinite advantage. Mental arithmetic of an
elementary character, can be entered upon at
an early age, and it is o matter Of surprise
to see mere children, who have been properly
instructed in this department, annalyze and
explain problem that would utterly confuse
an Older head which had never undertaken
the solution.
The tendency of the undiscipline mind is
to fly off from the close investigation of a
subject, to leave the point upder consideration,
aud 60 upon anything else than that required.
In the investigation of mathematics, it be-
comes absolutely necessary that the mind be
chained down to the matter under considera-
ton, until the solution is perfected for if, at
any point along its course, the attention be
once withdrawn, the whole effort is lost, and
the subject must be commenced again. For
this and other reasons, mental arlthemetic,
demonstrations in Geometry and other kind
red departments of the science, are the most
effective. To beginners the arithmetic is oil
course the branch most proper to be pursued
We once heard a distinguished friend oil
education say that next to the Bible, Col.
burns Mental Arithmetic was the best book
ever published. A thourough knowledge o.
vulgar fractions is all.important to success
full pursuit Of mathematics; they meet the
student at every step of his progress, whether
solving problems in simple arithmetic, or cal
culatlng the phenomena Of the heavens, anc
tracing the courses of the stars. In practice
al lille, also, as well as for the purposes o
mental discipline, mathematical studies ar,
of the highest importance: and it is desirable
that the youthful mind be turned early t,
their pursuit

LIFE LIBBARY.-Life is library COM
posed Of several volumes. With some, these
volumes are richly gilt; with others, quite
plain. Of its several volumes, the first is a
Child's Book, full of pretty pictures; the
second is School book, blotted, linked, and
dogs-eared; the next is Thrilling Romance,
full of love, hope, ruin and dcspairsvindiug

heroine that ever was; there is House keep

bills increasing every year; after that comes
the Day Book and Ledger, swelling out into
a series of many volumes, presenting rare
fund Of varied information, AID jinging like
a cash-box with money; these are followed
up with grave History, solemnly travelling
over the events Of the Past, with many wise
deductions and grave warnings and last of
all comes the Child's Book again, with its
pages rather soiled, and its pictures by no
means so bright as they used to be. To the
above Library is sometimes added the Bank.

Child Asnirations.

We well remember the days when we look
ed upon freman's parade as greater event
than revolution affecting the welfare Of en-
pircs. And, if we rccoIect Alright it was
then the very pinnacle of our ambition to be
dressed as juvenile smuggler, and hold one
Of the banner strings, or to be painted up as
a young Indian, and ride one of the horses
attached to the engines, About the same Pc
riod, when we made orr first appearance a.
mong the audience of theatre, the "funny
man" doomed up as the model of manly cx-
cellence, and we .inwardly resolved that when
our proportions should warrant, we would be
nothing less than the gentleman in motley
who had such an art in making people laugh.
Recalling these features Of juvcnility, we
were not excessively surprised, though con
siderably amused, the other day, upon over
hearing grave discussion among a group Of
youngsters, just old enough to run after the
omnibuses, concerning what they would be
when they grew to manhood One little fol-
fow remarked very seriously, as he sat with
his chin leaning upon his hands, that he
hadn't yet made up his mind whether he
would be "a minister or a constable" Here
was ambition. To this boys mind there was
certain awful majesty in the presence Of a
constable inspired by frequent alarms Of his
coming, when he was doing something naugh-
ty, which induced desire to have the same
power when he increased in years AS to the
minister, was not that parsonage looked up to
by all the good people the little boy saw in
church, as something superior, and did he not
always appear to be living well without do
ing any very hard work, like the man who
dug cellars2 How very natural were the
little fellows aspirations Another one oil
tho group said he was going to be Quaker
and then he wouldn't have to work for
said, "all Quakers are rich" The child hat
wit enough to observe that the members o
the Society of Friends were generally pros
porous. But scarcely had he uttered this in
tention, when stout, chubby youngster witt
lip-curl of contempt, put in, and said "Oh
psbaw I'll beat you! I'm gon' to be six
horse omnibus !" Well wager considerable
that that young colt is destined to be Z"
whole team" one of these days What a
immense ambition And what was particu
larry remarkable among the little group o
this occasion, was that they all appeared t
think this grand idea, and the six-horse ON
nibus carried the field. Such are the aspira
tions Of children. NORTH American.

The Old Love.

I met her she was thin and old
She stopped, and trod with totterng feet |;
The hair was gray, that once was gold,
The voice was harsh, that once was sweet.
Her hands were dwindled, and her eyes,
Robbed of the girlish light of joy,
We're dim; l felt sad surprise
That had loved her when boy.
But yet something in her air,
Restored me to the vanished time,
My heart grew young and seemed to wear
The brightness of its youthful prime,
I took her withered hand in mine
Its touch recalled ghost of joy
I kissed it with a reverent sigh,
For had loved her when boy.

The dark clouds fall in heavy folds
Around the mountains brow
But heavier is the cloud of grief
Which makes my spirit bow,
My thoughts are in the chamber where
darling sister lay
SO patient in her sad unrest
One year ago to-day.
She came to us with smile and song
When Winter frowns were stern,
Her bounding heart in hope and love
How fondly did it turn
To loving friends and cherished home,
thousand miles away
Alas how long the distance seemed,
One year ago to-day.
Two weary months, and more, her form
Had pressed the couch OF pain;
The frowns had gone ana Springs sweet smiles
Had blessed our hearts again;
With trembling feet sought for flowers,
The first faint flowers of May,
And bore them to her yearning sight,
One year ago to-day.
They smiled upon her wasted cheek
Smiled in her loving eyes
They whispered of the sunny giades,
And bright rejoicing skies;
An answering smile those sweet eyes gave,
Like hopes departing ray,
Inst DER the dark horizon seen
One year ago to-day.
In vain Spring voices woocd her car
In vain the balmy gale
Stole tenderly and gently in,
And famed her forehead pale,
In vain we srovc, and hoped, and prayed,
The heavy hand to stay
That coldy pressed our darling's brow
One year ago to-day.
The light Of heaven burden grew
The breath of flowers a pain
The answering smile and voice Of love
We learned to seek in vain
With June's first blossoms softly passed
The spirit from its clay,
And with it passed the hope so faint
One year ago to-day.
Still prayers are breathed, and burning tears
still to the sands are given
Not now for her--no, not for her
There are no tears in Heaven
But for the weary-hearted, left
Alone on llfe's dark way
For all who keep the love so dear
One year ago to day.
And by that love undimmed and pure
By those fond prayers an tears
By all that to our yearning souls
Her memory endears-
Still to our hearts by faith upborne.
Still let us hope and pray
To meet where all forgot shall be
The year that ends to-day.
