sixty per cent. OF the entire number have DO

neglect this great essential until too late,
when the habits become formed and fixed,
and thus all useful control is lost. The fig.

We look back through the dim vista Of the
it until it seems but yesterday that it was en-
acted, when in reality it was long ago."
"Long ago." and ones memories go back
to some distant period in our life's era per.
haps to the time when we met our youthful
associates in the school-room and watched
with wondering eye the footsteps of our ador.
ed teacher, "and still our wonder grew"
that "one small head contained all she
knew" But it is only in Imagination that
we can see them, for they passed away " long
ago"
Perhaps we look into an old room render
ed dear, as the play-room of our youth
We see the doll in chair, hobby-horse in
the corner, picture book on the floor beside a
basin of bread and milk, part of which we
have eaten and part thrown on the floor; in
fine, everything in confusion, and we are
young again, and almost shout for JOY as we
were wont to do in days gone by, when sud.
denly the thought strikes US as we see tail
form in the mirror which tells us that all this
was long ago."
The mother opens the drawer, sees the
tiny folds of white apron, or the sleeve Of
dress, and the little pair of shoes, worn
through at the toes, and again she feels the
soft arms of her 6rst-born thrown caressing
ly around her neck, and the murmured ma.

in the garden tells her that this too, was

dance merrily out to meet him as he returns
home. He stoops, and l feel that welcome
kiss, even now, upon my cheek. But the
lettering step of that father tells me that
this was "long ago." The gray hairs and
feeble voice of my mother whisper Of q long

rienec. Again, therefore, we earnestly urge
the necessity of q regular occupation. 1t
may seem irksome at first, but it will soon
loase its severity and terror. while the tact,
the information, the knowledge. and the art
thus acquired. will strengthen and fortify for
almost any emergency of life. A fair edu-
cation. Industrious habits, and useful cal.
ling, are infinitely more valuable than for
tune without these priceless qualities.

Secrets Between Husband and
Wife

There should be no secrets between the
husband and wife for since the wife has
been taken into partnership, she. oil course.
has M equal interest in the " concern" and
has right to put such questions to her hus-
band in relation to the standing affairs as
see desires and if the husband is what he
ought to be, satisfactory answer will be CIV
en-. This is one OF the principal causes why
there is disuniiy and unpeasantucss between
husband and wie--the latter is kept from
knowing that which She has a right to know
The husband who is not willing to make
confident of u faithful and deserving wife. is
not entitled to the name of husband. For
who, more than she, is deserving Of conf
ience Did the husband more generally
consult with his interested aud care-taking
companion, and asking her advice in mat
tiers pertaining to the management of fami-
ly, there is. sufficient reason to believe that
Il greater degree of prosperity and happi-
ness would attend the married pair in their
connubial journey.
1t is necessary that there should be united
Of feeling between husband and wife, AID
that there should be confidence ieposed in
each other for the journey OF life cannot
otherwise be made pleasant and cheerful.
Long years are passed by many, in the con-
nubial state, who do not in reality; know
what the real, solid epjoymeuts OF welded
life arc-do not know what they may be.
And why? Because there seems to be bar
rier between the two joined together, which
neither will condescend to step over or break
down; hence the common age of man is
often lived out by many of our fellow crea-
lures without having experienced the s,ceets
OF domestic felicity.

The stream that hurres by yon fixed shore
Returns no more;
The wind that dries at morn yon dewy lawn
Breathes and is gone
Those withered flowers to Summers ripcning glow
No more shall blow;
Those fallen leaves that strew yon garden bed
For aye are dead;
On shore or sea, or hill, or vale or plain,
Naught shall remain;
yainly for sunshine fed, and joys gone by,
We heave sigh
On ever on, with unexhausted breath
Time hastes to death;
Even with each word we speak u moment flies
Is born and dies;
OF oil r which poor mortals vainly mourn
Naught shall return.
Life hath its home in heaven and earth beneath,
And so hath death;
Not all the chains that clank in eastern cline
Can tctter time;
For all the phals in the d,ctJrs store

No drug on ages wrinkled check renew
LIES early hue;
Not all the tears by pious mourners shed
Can wake the dead.
Ii thus through lesser natures empire wide
Nothing abide
If wind, and wave, and leaf and sun, and flower,
Have all their hour
He walks On ice whose dallying spirit cings

And he alone i, wise, whose well-taught love

Truths firm and bright, but oft to mortal eat
