CHAPTER I.
"What stay at home for that squalling
young one? Catch me to-" And the young
mother threw on bonnet and shawl, and
humming gay air, sauntered out on the
promenade. One and another bowed and
smiled as she moved along, flushed, trium.
phant andbeautiful. A young man met her
just as she was passing the shop Of we'll
known firm.
"Ah! out again, Delia," he said earnest
ly. "Where is Charley?"
"With Hannah, of course. You don't
expect me to tie myself to him?" she re-
turned.
The young mans face grew cloudy. NO.
he returned, with half sigh; "but can't
bear to have him left with servants"
"Oh we'll, I can," she said, and with a
radiant smile left her husband hard at work,
and fitted on.
CHAPTER II.
"Answer all bis questions t? make myself
a slave, as I should be obliged to? Oh, no !;
can't think of it. If I give him his break
fast and plenty of playthings, I consider
my duty done. don't believe in fussing
over children-let them find out things as
they grow up"
"There's the DANGER" replied the dear
old lady, casting plying look upon the
richly embroidered cloak her sons wife had
bent over all day, 'they find out things that
ruin them, unless the mother be constantly
imparting the right kind of knowledge"
ooh! you want to make him a piece of
perfection like his father; we'll, I can't say

How TO MAKE MONEY.-Let the busl-
ness of every body else alone, and attend to
your own; don't buy what you don't want;
use every hour to advantage, and study to
make even leisure hours useful; think
twice before you throw away shilling-re-
member you will have another to make for
it; find recreation over your own business
buy low, sell fair, and take care of the
profits; look over your books regularly, and
if you ipd an error trace it out; should
stroke of misfortune come over your trade,
retrench, work harder, but never fly the
track confront difficulties with unceasing
perseverance, and they will disappear at last;
though you should fall in the struggle you
will be honoured; but shrink from the task
and you will be despised
Act the same way if you would increase
in knowledge, in grace-in manly and
Christian virtue. Be careful that nothing
be lost that you can turn to improvement
that there be no giving up, no resting with
out progress, and you will grow in durable
riches Do this, and your old age, should
you live to be old, will be amiable, mild,
equable, content. The virtuous improve
ment of your time in youth and early man
hood, will then show itself in rich harvest,
in glory like the evening of fine day.
The sight of you, long after you have ceased
to be active, will be profitable lesson and
real comfort. You will leave a life be-
hind you fragrant and pleasing to look on
as field of flowers.

A FAMILY QUARREL.

Our young friends who are studying the
English Grammer, will be interested in the
following little fable about it:
The children of the ancient individual,
English Grammcr, were holding confab
one day when their father was absent.
"Truly," said Noun, 'salthough we are so
common, no one can say that we are otpro-
per in our conduct; while the Verbs are Of
tener imperfect than perfect in their ideas" "
"Wel," said spruce young EerJ, "you
are certainly possessius Of some very singular
qualities, and there is nothing SO objective in
our character as in yours"
"Ah," said little Conjunction, show you
love to quarrel You could not live unitcd
single day, without me and Proposition to
show your relations to each other"
"Alas !" exclaimed MteJection, "what
strong and su7rl"n emotions I always betray
at such conversa,ion!"
"The polteness of all of you," spoke up
AJectire and AdrcrJ, as they gazed around
with an important look, "would be imrera-
tirely nothing without the example of such
persons of quality as we are, to tell you the
time, place, and manner of doing things
You do not realize it, but We are posirire
advantage to you"
"And you should conjecture" said little
article, "that so small child as l could
limit tie sign!fcation of all you naughty
Nouns and Pronouns The Participles, too,
are forever telling of their past actions being
so perfect, but We all know that all of them
who are present now are very imperfect, al
ways ending in i-n.g-just as nothing does p
$50 you are havinga warm little dispute" "
said old English Grammer, entering at this
moment. 81 think l shall lay down about
thirty rules for you to obey, and with but a
few exceptions either. Seeing as you do,
having so many advantages of language, it
is strange you should make such poor use
of them. I am sorry to see so many of you
improper and irregular, while you are IN
perfect also But it always will be so; a
family with the best of training will make
parent more or less trouble !"-Bostoa Cnl
tirator.
