OBSCENE LANeUAaE.-A more dcbasing
habit than the employment of vulgar and pro-
fame language can scarcely be imagined. Prob
ably there is no vice in society which excrci-
SEES more communicating influence on the
minds Of our children and youth than this.
In our cities it is almost impossible to walk
the streets without having our ears frequently
shocked with some obscene expression or hor.
rid oath, and often from the mouths of child
rem themselves. And we are saddcned to be
obliged to say that we seldom find recollection
of young men in the country Villages, without
hearing foul-mouthed profanity and blasphc-
nous imprecations, as tough they constituted
the essential embellishments of ordinary con.
versation. 1t is time to commence reform
in this matter and we are glad to notice that
one place has taken the matter in hand in the
right manner.
The Board of Trustees of the town of Sa-
ratoga, N. Y, has passed a law imposing a
fine of $40 upon any person who shall use
any obscene or vulgar language, which Ian
guage so used shall offend decency and tend
to a corruption of morals" We hope the
good example will be followed by the author
tiles of evety city, village, and town in this
State-and in all States. What light has any
person to corrupt the morals of the young, OF
offend the moral sense of the old in this way
AS we'll might fiend incarnate claim the rig ht
to scatter pestilence and death among US!

How TO SUcoEED.-Take earnestly hold of
life, as capacitated for, and destined to a high
and noble purpose and end. Study closely
the minds bent for labor or profession.-
Adopt some pursuit early, follow it steadily,
never looking backward to the turned furrow,
but always forward to the new ground that
ever remains to be broken. Means and ways
are abundant to every mans success, if will
and action are rightly adapted to them. Our
rich men and our great men, have carved
their paths to fortune and fame by this rule
IA rule that cannot fail to reward its vota-
ry if it be resolutely pursued To sigh or
repine over lack of inheritance is unmanly
Every man should strive to be creator
rather than an inheritor. He should bequcath
rather than borrow. The human race, in
this respect, wants dignity and discipline
1t prefers welding the sword of valorous
forefathers to forging its weapons. This is
a mean and ignoble spirit. Let every man
be conscious of the God in him, and the
Providence over him, and fight his own bat
tie with his good lance. Let him feel that il
is nobler to eat crust than to inherit Golfers
This spirit of nobility, once learned, anc
every man will discover within himself, under
God, the clements and capacities of wealth
He will be enthusiastically rich in self-re
sources and can lift his face proudly to nee
the noblest among men. The poet well says
81 scorn the man who boasts his birth,
| And counts his titles and his ands
| Who takes his and heritage
| From out dying fathers hands,"

PERILs OF PRospERITY.-We cite a para
graph from writer in the Edinburgh Review
of lS47, expressive Of our views on this SUBJ
ject
There is no more perilous ordeal through
which man can pass-no greater curse which
can be imposed on him as he is at present con-
stituted-than that of being condemned to
walk his life long in the sunlight of unshad-
owed prosperity His eyes ache with that too
untempered brilliance-he is apt to be smit-
ten with a moral coup de soliel But it as
little follows that no sunshine is good for us.
He who made us, and who tutors us, alone
knows what is the exact measure of light and
shade, sun and cloud, storm and calm, frost
and heat, which will best tend to mature those
flowers which are the object of His celestial
husbandry ; and which, when transplanted in
to the paradise of God, are to bloom there
forever in amaranthine loveliness. Nor can
it be without presumption that we essay to
interfere with these processes; our hig chest
wisdom is to fall in with them"

" Your Heavenly Father"
HIS RICHES.


No matter how long you live in this world,
children, nor how much you may do to show
your love and affection for your parents, yet
YOU will never be able to repay them for
their kindness and care. And yet, all that
they have done, or will ever be able to do, is
less than nothing compared with what "your
heavenly Father is doing for you every day
of your life.
We want you, dear children, to sit down
every day and think, at least for a few mo-
ments, about "your heavenly Father" and,
if you do SO, we feel certain that yoswill al
ways hereafter be more grateful and thankful
to Him, and be the more ready and willing in
fautnre to put all your trust and confidence
in Him.
This week we want you to think how rich
"your heavenly Father is! If your pa
rents were worth few hundred thousand dol
lars, and had houses and lands valued at sew
eral millions of money, they would be consid-
cred very wealthy; and yet, all they posses
sed, as well as all everybody on earth has, is
only a loan from "your heavenly Father, u
which He can take from them in an hour.
Why children He has more wealth buried
in the ground, and under the deep waters
than the people of this world ever dreamed
of! And if "your heavenly Father" want
ed to- He could shower diamonds from every
cloud, scatter pearls like dewdrops every
morning, turn every mountain into solid gold
change every hill into pure silver, and pave
the pathways of earth with the most precious
and costly gems All the riches Of this, anc
all the worlds, if added together, wonld b,
less in value to Him than would farthing b.
to the Queen of Spain, or the richest monarch
of earth
Men may count their dollars, and empe
rors calculate the worth of their dominions
but all the men on earth, and angels o
Heaven, cannot in time nor during eternity
ascertain the extent of Gods boundless pos
session, the sources of His inconceivabl
wealth, or the number of vast storehouses
filled with his immense treasures. &C He op
eneth His hand, and satisfeth the desire o
every living creature" He holds creation il
His hand, and feeds it at His board "Giv
ing does not improversh Him, neither viii
Withholding make Him rich"
Now them children since you have such
rich heavenly Father, won't you love Hin
all the days of your life, with your who'll
heart? Can you, for moment, doubt tina
He is able. to supply all your wants? If HI
clothes tho lily of the field with all its beau
ty, and feeds the young ravens when the.
cry will he not much rather clothe and feet
and take care of you?
But perhaps you may be tempted by Sa
tan sometime Or other, to think that thong
He is so rich yet He does not act much Xix
a Father to some of His children, for ofte
those that love him most appear to be til
poorest on earth; while those who do nc
obey Him, seem generally to have all the
desire or wish for! But as this children, wi
come up as one of the greatest proofs of Hi
kindness, we hope you will understand til
matter more fully as we treat of it.-Episct
pal Recorder.

Wanted Evenings at Home

Not the interesting and instructive book
under that title, but the very, scenes which
the book delineates-and which, unless we
mistake, are fast vanishing away, and will
soon be, if they are not already. among the
things that have been, but are not.
An Evening at Home how is it to be

social meetings, read in your church on the

is left for household teaching? There is
much truth, with perhaps slight coloring
of exaggeration, in the anecdote, given in a
late number of Harper's Magazine, of a
gentleman who had failed in business, and,
when asked what he intended to do, replied,
81 shall remain at home awhile, and get
acquainted with my family"
We believe this constant drawing away
from home, and home influence is democrat
izing and that it is time Christians should
inquire whether one reason why they do not
grow more rapidly in grace and knowledge
is not that they are ever hearing and never
meditating on what they hear--ever running

Mary in Heaven

In reading daily paper, not long ago, we
noticed an allusion to concert which was to
be given by Mr.. Dempster; so celebrated as
singer of some of The Scotch ballads. The
wish was expressed that the vocalist would ia
yor the audience with the song entitled "Ma-
ryin hearea," referring, as we suppose, to
that written by Burns, commencing
"ThOu lingering star with ess'ning ray,
That lov'st to greet the early morn,
A gain thou usher'st in the day
My Mary from my soul was torn"
After laying aside the paper, we could
scarcely keep from repeating the words Ma
ry in AeaUen," and it awakned a peculiar
train of reflection. Burns undoubtedly had
reference to specific person, dear friend
of his who bore that name, and had departed.
But she was not known to any of your read
ers, perhaps not by any person now living.
There is however, sweetness in these words
and they are suggestive of thoughts dear to
many heart. Mary in heauem i! How
many, who were once called by that name on
earth, are now among the redeemed. Were
they all collected in any part Of the heavenly
world, what an interesting company would
they be, how sweet the sengs Of praise which
they pour forth, and how tender and strong the
love they bear to their Redeemer. The mat
ron, the maid, the child, the infant, would be
there, and among them Mary, the mo Their
of Jesus" Probably more Of that name
have gone to heaven, than of any other name
by which man or woman is called. And eve
] ry month aud day, perhaps we should say
every hour, the number is increasing. Oftho
thousands who read your paper, is there one
that has not known some Mary in Heaven ?
We can for ourselves recall more than a
score of them, without going beyond the cir

many an individual have these words still
more significant meaning; like that which

THE FATE OF THE ADMIRED.--It often hap
pens, that those who in their lives were APP
plauded and admired, are laid at last in the
ground without the common honor of a stone;
because by those excellencies with which many
were delighted, none had been Obliged and,
though they had many to celebrate, they had
none to love them.

The Rainbow.

a fragment of a rainbow bright
Through the moist air see,
All dark and damp on yonder height,
All bright and clear to me.
An hour ago the storm was here,
The CLEAN was far behind;
So will our joys and grief appear,
When earth has ceased to blind.
Grief will be joy if on its edge
Fall soft that hottest ray;
joy will be grief If no faint pledge
BE there of heavenly day.
