PATERNAL DuTY.--The father who p'nnges
into business so deeply that he has no leisure
for domestic duties and pleasures, and whose
only intercourse with his children consists in
brief word of authority, or surly amen-
tation over their intolefabe cxpensiveness, is
equally to be pitied and to be blamed. What
right has he to devote to other pursuits the
time which God has allotted to his children ?
Nor is it an excuse to say that he cannot
support his family in their ptesent style of
living without this effort. ask by what
right can his family demand to live in
manner which requires him to neglect his
most solemn aud important duties 2 Nor is
it an excuse to say that he wishes TO leave
them competence. Is he under obligation
to leave them that competence which he de.
sires Is il an advantage to be relieved
from the necessity of labor? Besides, is
money the only desirable bequest which a IA
Their can leave to his children ? Surely,
well.cutivated intelects hearts sensible to
domestic affection the love Of parents and
brethren and sisters; taste for home pleas
ures; habits of order, regularity and industry;
hatred Of vice and vicious men; and lively
sensibility to their excellence Of virtue, are
as valuable a legacy as an Inheritance of
property-simple property, purchased by the
loss of every habit which would render that
property blessing Waylands Moral Sci

a Complete Salvation.

Salvation is finished. 1t is offered. Shall
it be rejected Take the good of it, aud
give him the glory. He is the God Of our
salvation in his name we will set up our
banners" In that ladder whereby faith
climbs her way to heaven, there is not round
that we can call our own. In this ark,
which, with open door. offers an asylum in
the coming storm-a refuge to the rising
food, from stem to stern, from keel to deck,
there is neither nail, nor plank, nor beam,
that we can claim as ours. The plan OF re.
demption was the design of infinite wisdom !;
its execution was lett to dying love; and it
is Mercy, generous Mercy, whose fair form
stands in the opening door, bidding, entreat-
ing, beseeching you all to come in. Listen
to the voice of jesus" Come unto me, all
ye that labor and are heavy laden, and will
give you rest" And let his mother teach
you how to speak, and learn from angels how
to sing. With her-the casket of divine
jewel, who held the babe yet unborn in her
virgin womb--with Mary, say, "My soul
doth magnify the Lord; my Spirit has re-
joiced 10 God my Savior; Tor he that is
mighty has done great things to me, and Ho-
ly is his name" Or bark to the angels
song glowing with soraphic fire, borrow
seraphic words; and sing with them, ere they
wheel their bright ranks for upward flight.
d" Glory to God in the highest; on earth
peace and good will to men."-Gathrie.

A Morupp's INnurNcr-.Tn EnoIapt

A MoTHERs INFLuENcE.-.ln England
some years ago, a man presented himself be-
fore body of clergymen to be examined,
that he might be licensed to preach the gos-
pei. His advantages for study had not been
very great, and he had many fears that he
could not sustain himself, and answer the nu-
morous questions which would be proposed.
With trembling heart he stood up before
his fathers and brethren. and one of them
asked him with whom he had studied divin-
ity.
The young man was somewhat confused at
this question, for he knew very well that he
had not enjoyed the instruction OF any dis
tinguished divine; and he replied with hesi-
tation, "My mother taught me the Scrip
lures"
"Ah!" said the minister who had asked
the question, mothers can do great things y
The examination then proceeded, and the
result was delightful proof that mothers may
be good teachers of theology; that the truths
implanted By their early instructions, watered
by their pious tears, and sancti6ed in answer
to their prayers, will bear precious fruit alter
many days.
| This candidate for the ministry was found
to be mighty in the Scriptures, aud mos,
gladly was he commissioned to 60 forth and
preach the Word to his fellow-mcn.

REFLEcTIoNs.-lf the whole Of human life
were like fine day in June. we should cease
to wish for "another and better world" 1t
is often from dawn to sunset one revel Of de-
light. How pleasantly from the first break Of
day have [ lain wide awake, and traced the
approach OF the breakfast hour by the in-
creasing notcso the birds, and the advancing
sunlight on my curtains! A summon feeling
at such times would make my heart dance
within me, as ought Of the long, cheerful
day to be enjoyed and planned some rural
walk or rustic entertainment, As | heard
the lark singing in "gorious privacy of
light" and saw the boughs of the green aud
gold laburnum waving at my window, and
had my fancy filled with images of nature
and beauty, l felt glow Of fresh life in my
veins, and my soul was inebriated with joy.
With what light heart and eager appetite
did 1 enter the little breakfast parlor of
which the glass.doors opened upon bright
green lawn, variegated with small beds Of
flowers. --RichardSon.

THE DUTIES OF MoruER.-By the quiet
Preside of home, the true mother in the midst
of her children, is sowing as in vases of earth
the seeds of plants that shall sometime give
to Heaven the fragrance of their blossoms,
aud whose fruit be as q rosary Of angelic
deeds, the noblest offering that she can make
through the ever ascending and expanding
souls of her children to her Maker. Every
word that she utters goes from heart to heart
with power of which she little dreams -
Philosophers tell US in their specuations that
we cannot lift finger without moving the
distant spheres. Solemn is the thought but
not more solemn to the Christian mother than
the thot that every word that falls from her
lips, every expression Of her countenance,
even in the sheltered walk and retirement,
may leave an indellible impression upon the
young souls around her, and firm as it were
the underling strain of that education which
peoples Heaven with that celestial being, and
gives to the white brow of the angel next to
the grace of God its crown of glory
