brook Jacob cuts a willow whistle
with a big knife, wearing never a
smile. The evening winds begin to
play among the girls loose tresses,
and to lift the dark curls from Nora's
cheek her eyes CLEAN with heav-
emily inspiration as she draws her
shawl around her, and unties her bon
net from her arm. The shadows lie
deep on the mountain sides, and over
the trees invisible lips seem to whis-
per among the pines, and talk in the
ripples Of the book the children one
by one came up out of the tall grass,
where they had folded their limbs
like so many springing flowers. They
called the green little nook Nora's
Pulpit, and they were in the habit of
bringing their offerings Of flowers,
pine cones, and red berries to keep it
sacred, so garlands hung from the
bushes, and odors came up from stone
vases of honeysuckles ; but the fair
est Offering was first given to their
teacher wreath Of wild myrtle and
cardinals crowned Nora's head afresh
every night by the dear brown hands.
Lightly the jagged hills and stony
paths were daily trod, and at every
step the voice of nature responded to
Nora's heart, Rich art thou in com.
pensation for the work thou art doing,

LIFE'S TOLL-GATE.

We are all on our journey. The
world through which we are passing
is in some respects like a turnpike
all along where vice and folly have
erected toil-gates for the accommoda-
ton of those who choose to call as
they go-and there are very few Of
all the hosts of travellers who do not
occasionally stop little at some one
OF the other of them--and consequent
ly pay more or less TO the toll-gather-
ers. Pay more or less, l say, because
there is great variety as we'll in the
amount as in the kind of toll exacted
at these different stopping places.
Pride and fashion take heavy tolls
of the purse-many a man has become
a beggar by paying at their gates
the ordinary rates they charge are
heavy aud the road none of the best.
Pleasure offers a very smooth, de.
lightful road in the outset she tempts
the traveller with many fair promises,
and wins thousands--but she takes
without mercy; like an artful robber,
she allures till she gets her victim
in her power, and then strips him of
health and money, and turns him off a
miserable object, into the worst or
most rugged road to life.
lntemperance plays the part of a
sturdy william. He is the very worst
toll-gatherer on the road, for he not
only gets from his customers their
money and their health, but he robs
them of their very brains. The men
you meet on the road, ragged and
ruined in fame and fortune, are his
visitors
And so might go on and enumc-
rate many others who gather toll of
the unwary. Accidents sometimes
happen, it is true, along the road, but
those who do not get through tolera-
bly, well, you may be sure have been
stopping at some of these places. The
plain, common sense men, who travel
straight forward, get through the
Journey without much difficulty. This
being the state of things, it becomes
every one in the outset, if he intends
to make comfortable journey, to
take care what kind of company he
keeps in with. We are all apt to do
as companions do-stop where they
stop, and pay toll where they pay.
Then the chances are one to ten but
our choice in this particular decides
our fate. Having paid due respect to
a choice of companions, the next i'm
portant thing is to observe how others
manage: to mark the good or evil that
is produced by every course of life
see how those do who manage well;
by these means you learn. Be care
full of your habits; these make the
man. And they require long and
careful culture, ere they grow up to q
second nature. Good habits speak
of. Bad habits are more easily ac-
quired--they are spontaneous weeds
that flourish rapidly and rankly with.
out care or culture.

A BEAUTIFUL IDEA-Away among
the Alleghanies there is a spring so
small that single OK, in a summers
day, could drain it dry, 1t steals it's
unobtrusive way among the hills, till
it spreads in the beautiful Ohio.
Thence it stretches away a thousand
miles, leaving on its banks more than
a thousand villages and cities, and
many thousand cultivated farms, and
bearing on it's bosom more than half
thousand steamboats,. Then joining
the Mississippi, it stretches away and
away some twelve hundred miles
more, till it falls into the great en-
blem of eternity. 1t is one of the
great tributaries of the ocean, which
obedient only to God, shall roll and
roar till the angel, with one foot on the
sea and the other ON the land, shall
lift up his hand and swear that time
shall be no longer. So with moral in
huence. 1t is rill, rivulet, river,
an ocean, boundless and fathomless
as eternity.
