Hsighbofs' Quaffsis.

Mosr people think there are cares enough
in the world, and yet many are very indus
trious to increase them. One of the rcadicst
ways of doing this is to quarrel with neigh.
Dor. A bad bargain may vex man for a
week; and a bad debt may trouble him for n
month; but quarrel With his neighbors
will keep him in hot water all the year
round.
Aaron Hands delights in fowls, and his
cocks and hens are always scratching up the
flowers Of his neighbor, William Wilkes,
whose mischievous eat every now and then
runs off with chicken. The consequence
is. that William Wilkes is one-half the day
occupied in driving away the fowls, and
threatening to screw their long ugly necks
off; while Aaron Hands, in his periodical
outbreaks, invariably vows TO skin his neighl
bor's cat, rs sure as he can lay hold of him.
Neighbors! neighbors! why can you not
be at peace2 Not all the fowls you can
rear, and the flowers you can grow, will
make amends for a life OF anger, hatred, ma
lice or uncharitableness. Come to some
kind. hearted understanding one with anoth-
er, and dwell in peace.
Upton, the refiner, has smoky chimney,
that sets him aud all the neighborbood by
The ears. The people around abuse him
wifhoat mercy, complaining that they are
poisoned, and declaring that they viii indict
him at the sessions. Upton fercely sets
them at defiance, on the ground that bis
chimney did not come to them, but they
came 10 his chimney.
Neighborsl neighborsl practices a little
more forbearance. Had half dozen of you
waited on the refnor il kindly spirit he
would, years ago, have so altered his chin
ney that il would not have annoyed you.

1t was thus few days since, we heard a
young stripping Of sixteen designating the
mother who bore him. BY coarse husbands
we have heard wives called SO occasionally,
though in the latter case the phrase is more
often used endearingIy. at all times, as
commonly spoken, il jars upon the ear and
shocks the sense. An "old woman should
be an object of reverence above and beyond
all phrases of humanity. Her very are
should be her surest passport to courteous
consideration. The aged mother of grown
up family needs no other certificate of worth.
She is monument Of excellence, approved
and warranted. She has fought faithfully
"the good fight" and come off concueror.
Upon her venerable face she bears the marks
OF the conflict in all its furrowed lines. The
most grievous ills of life have been hers,
trials untold and unknown, save to God and
herself, she has borneincessantly, and now.
in her old age, her duty done, patiently await
ing the appointed time, she stands more tru
ly beautiful than even IN youth more hon
orable and deserving than he who has slain
his thousands, or stood triumphant upon the
proudest field of victory.
Young man, speak kindly to your mother,
and even courteously, tenderly to her. But
q little time and you shall see her no more
forever. Her eye is dim, her form is bent,
and her shadow falls graveyard. Others
may love when size has passed away kind
hearted sisters, perhaps, or she whom of all
the world ron choose fora partner, she may
love you warmly, passionately; children may
love fondly, but never again while time is
yours, shall the love ofwoman be to you as
that of your old, trembling mother has been.
In agony she bore you !! through pulling,
helpless infancy, her throbbing breast was
your safe protection and support; in way
ward and touchy boyhood, she bore patient
ly With thoughtless rudeness and nursed you
safely through legion of ills and maladies.
Her hand it was that bathed your burning
brow or moistened the parched lip her eye
that litup the darkness Of wasting, nightly
lvigils watching alwaysin your fitful sleep by
your side, as none but her could watch.
Oh, speak not her name lightly, for you can
not live so many years rs would suffice to
thank her fnlly. Through recklessness and
impatient youth, she is your counsellor and
solace. Upto bright manhood she guides
your improvident stops, nor even there for
sakes OF forgets. Speak gently then, and
reyerently Of Jour mother, and when you
too should become old it shall in the same
degree tighten the remorse which shall be
yours for sins, TO know that never wantonly
have you outraged the respect due to the
''old woman"

AT this season, men ar, pref ing to set
tie their accounts for the year. They in
quire about the amount of their taxes and
OF their debts to individuals. GLOW much
do owe I" and How much is due to me r.
are questions of absorbing interest. Is not
this, then, fitting time to extend the inaui-
ry--to ask our souls. i'm reference to Gods
goodness and grace, "how much owest thou!''
We all owe much for sparing mercy--for
the protection of our homes and the supply
four wants during the year. Many are
indebted to God for special prosperity in
business-for unusual health--for additions
to their objects Of love--for new sources of
domestic joy. To multitudes this has been
a bountiful season, And what have we rem
dered unto the Lord for all his beneftsl
Careless, worldly y-minded reader, pause,
and ponder this question? Think of Gods
righteous claims upon you How easily he
might have cut you off in Your sins how ca
silly he might have plunged you into poverty
and want Is it nothing that he has kept
you alive, and given you SO much health and
success? AS an honest man. you expect TO
meet every honest claim. Here is one os
the most just, clear and urgent. You may
repudiate it, and yet walk erect among
your neighbors; but you are dishonorcd and
disgraced in the sight of your own consci-
ence. In the sight of God, and of all holy
beings in his universe. And the longer you
neglect to meet this claim, the greater il
grows. 1t accumulates more rapid than a
debt at compound interest! o, begin, then,
at once 10 repay God, though it be but in
poor thanks and the Offering of a worthless
heart, for his goodness and his mercy!
Christian, You profess 10 recognize the
claims of God. Consider them now, ms the
year is drawing 10 aclosc! What have YOU
rendered to him for all his truth and grace
How have yourepaid his constant care; bis
patience with your unbelief; his geatleness
when you were wayward and perverse his
seeking you when you wandered his restor-
ing you when you erred, his aid in tempta-
tions; his light amid darkness his strength
when you were weak, and his grace in every
time of needl o, if God had abandoned
you n year ago, how dcsolate and desperate
might your condition now be! Nay, food
had not been with you continually, how sad
ly and hopelessly your soul might have
made shipwreck long agol
Can formal thanks and heartless service
meet our obligationsl Will it be enough
to do as we have done, and are doing r.
Nordo we not owe fidelity and devotion
far beyond that Of the present or the past!-
Should We not gratefully and joyfully conse-
crate every energy of our being to that service
of God All around us there is much to do
the world is a wide, ripe spiritual harvest,
that is perishing for lack Of rcapers. If all
who have promised to labor in this harvest
and who have received their wages in ad-
vance, and ten-fold moro, were at work, how
changed the scene would be! The demand
for Christian activity was never more urgent
than now, and IL is time for each to consider
our personal obligations Herald.

Influence Of Marriage.

HABIT and long life together are more me-
cessary to happiness, and even to love, than
is generally imagined. No one is happy
with the object OF his attachment, until he
has passed many days, and, above all, many
days of misfortune with her. The married
pair must know each other to the centre of
their souIs--the mysterious veil which GOV
cred the two spouses in the primitive church,
must be raised in its Utmost folds, how close
ly soeyer it may be kept drawn to the rest
Of the world. What on account Of a fit of
caprice, or burst of passion, am / to be cx
posed to the fear of losing my wife and my

ing my declining days with them3 Let no
one imagine that fear will make me become
q tetier husband. No; We do not at
tach ourselves to q possession of which we
are not secure; we do not love properly
which we are in danger Of losing. The soul
ofa man, rs well as his body is incomplete
without his wife; he has strength, she has
beauty; he combats the enemy and labors
in the field, but he understands nothing OF
domestic life; his companion Is waiting to
prepare bis repast and sweeten his existence.
He has crosses, and the partner of his life Is
there to soften them; his days may be sad
and troubled, but in the chasts arms Of his
wife he finds comfort and repose. Without
woman, man would be rude, solitary. Wo-
man spreads around him the flowers Of exis-
tence, as the creepefs Of the forests, which
decorate the trunks ef sturdy oals with tlieir
perfumed garlands. Finally, the Christian
