Method.

Dispatch is the soul Of business, and poth-
ing contributes more to dispatch than meth
od.-Lay down method for everything, and
stick to it inviolably, as far as unexpected
incidents may allow. Fix one certain hour
and day in tho week for your accounts, and
keep them in their proper order by which
means they will require a very little time and
you can never be much cheated.
Whatever letters and papers you keep
docket and tie them up in their respective
classes, so that you may have instant recourse
to any one.
Lay down a method also, for your reading,
for which you allot certain share of your
mornings ; let it be in consistent and consec-
utive course, and not in that desultory and
immethodical manner in which many people
read scraps of different authors, upon different
subjects Keep useful and short common
place book Of what you read, to help your
memory only, and not for pedantic quota
tions. Never read history without having
maps, and chronological book, or tables,
lying by you and constantly required; with
out which, history is only confused heap of
facts.
Once more l recommend to you, by which
have found great benefit, even in the most
disspated part of my life-that is, to rise
early, and at the same hour every morning
how late socver you may have sat up the
night before. This secures you an hour OF
two at least of reading or reflection, before
the common interruption of the morning be-
gin; and it will save your constitution by for
cling you to go to bed early at least one night
in three.-Selected.

The Unfadin e Heart.

An old man walked near a time-worn
church, having gone thither to visit the grave
of one long departed. He had been weeping;
and as he turned his eyes heavenward, tears
glistened therein. He wore in button-hole
faded ribbon, which ever and anon he look
ed upon, and then again lifted his face to the
skies, muttered some solt words of love, and
continued weeping.
Some children standing by derided the old
man, saying, " Father, give us the ribbon; it
is old and can be of no worth to thee"
But the old man casped the ribbon in his
hands, and thought sadly of one he loved,
who died while her bridal garments still adorn-
cd her. They had loved long and truly, and
had married in the full vigor Of their youth.
But as they were returning from church, they
chanched to meet rush of people, who were
being driven before the sodicry in one of
those emcutes for which France is so notorious.
The married pair were riding in a car, and
when the report of musketry were heard, the
bridegroom became excited, and stretching
out of the window, he marked TIE tumult for
moment, then turned to calm the fears Of
his wife, Alas! the quiet of death was al
reapy upon her-a bullet had entered her
young heart; and there she leaned, as before
she sat-a sweet smile upon her face, her lips
still warm, but dead!
On that unhappy morning, the old man
took ribbon from her breast, and overnight
and day-he had it near his heart Sixty
years have passed since then, but he had
never sought another love. But, gazing upon
the ribbon, he saw her he loved ever by his
side. And when the children derided him, he
meekly replied" The heart, my dear child
rem, is not like ribbon. No no believe
me, the heart never grows DID,"

1t is not to watch children with suspicious
eye; to frown at their merry outbursts of in.
nocent hiarity; to suppress their Joyous
laughter, and to mould them into melancholy
little models of octogenarian gravity.
And when they have been in fault, it is not
to punish them simply on account of the per-
sonal injury that you may have ohanccd to
suffer in consequence of their faults; while
disobedience unattended by inconvenience to
yourself, passes without rebukc.
Nor is it to overwhelm the little culprit
with flood Of angry words; to stun him
with deafening; to call him by hard names
which DO not express his misdeeds; to load
him with opithets, which would DO cxtrava-

1t is to punish fault because it is fault
because it is sinful and contrary to the COM
mandS of God without reference to whether
it may not have been productive Of immedi-
ate injury to the parent or to others. e
1t is to reprove with calmness and compo-

abuse to punish as often as you threaten,
and threaten only when you both intend, and
