HEALTH AND Lone LIFE.-Socrates used
to say that it was pleasant to grow old with
good health and good friend and he might
have reason; man may be content to live
while he is in no trouble to himself or his
friends; but after that it is hard if he be
not content to die. knew and esteemed
person abroad who used to say, any man
must be mean wretch whe desires to live
after tnree-score years old. But so much, |
doubt, is certain, that in life, as in wine, he
that will drink it good must not draw it to
the dregs. Where this happens, one comfort
of age may be- that whereas younger men
are in pain whenever they are not in pleasure,
old men find sort of pleasure when they
are out of pain: and as young men often i'm
pair or lose their present enjoyment by crav-
ing after what is to come, by vain hopes or
fruitless fears, so old men relieve the wants
Of their age by pleasing reflections on what
is past. Therefore, men in health and vigor
of their age should endeavor to fill their
lives with reading with travel, with the best
conversation, and the worthiest actions, either
In public or private stations; that they may
have something agreeable to live on when
they are old, by pleasing remembrance.

BY STRAW HAT.

"Haloo there boy, will you assist me a
moment ;" said a stranger who stood upon
the sidewalk beside a large trunk which he
wished placed upon the steps of building
near by.
The person addressed, was youth of per-
haps eighteen years, who slowly took his CT
gar between his fingers, and casting con-
temptuous look upon the stranger, said:
"Do you call me boy?"
The gentleman gave prolonged whistle of
surprise, as he watched the receding foot
steps of Young America"
Just then young person, of about the
same age as the one above mentioned stepped
up, and politely said, ALLOW me to assist
you, sir"
When the trunk was placed upon the steps,
the stranger drew his purse to offer the young
man some pecuniary reward, but he respect
fully touched his hat, and with a peculiar
bow, which at once fascinated me, turned
away. True poiteness is a great gift, and
that boy, said 1 to myself, is one of the few
who, when he arrives at mans estate, need
not blush for his boyhood.
A few years after this occurrence, chanc-
ed to be visiting friend in the southern part
of the State, where there was great excite

ADVICE TO PARENrs.-Be ever gentle with
the children God has given you; watch over
them constantly; reprove them earnestly. but
not in anger. In the forcible language of
Scripture, "Be not bitter against them -
=" Yes, they are good boys" | once heard a
kind father say, talk to them pretty much
but do not like to beat my chidren-the
world will beat them 1t was beautiful
thought though not elegantly expressed. Yes.
there is not one child in the circle round the
table healttful and happy as they look now
on whose head if long spared, the storm will
not beat. Adversely may wi,ber them, sick
ness fade, cold world frown on them but
amid all let memory carry them to home
where the law OF kindness reigned where the
mothers reproving eye moistened with tear
and the father frowhed "more in sorrow than
in anger"

little THrNas.-Springs are little things,
but they are sources of large streams--a helm
is little thing, but it governs the course of
a ship-a bride-bit is a little thing, but see
its use and power; nails and pegs are little
things, but they hold the large parts of
large buildings together; word, look, a
frown-all are little things, but powerful for
COED or evil. Think of this, and mind the
little things. Pay that little debt-ts
promise, redeem tiff it's a shilling, hand it
over-you know not what important event
hangs upon it. Keep your word sacredly-
keep it to the children, they will mark it
sooner than anybody else, and the effect will
probably be as lasting as life. Mind the lit
tie things.

AssIDUITY AND PERsEvERANcE.-The most
usual way among young men who have a
resolution of their own, is first to ask one
friends advice, and follow it for some time !;
then ask advice of another, and turn to that /;
SO of the third; still unsteady, always chang
ing. However, be assured that every change
Of this nature is for the worse. People may
tell you of your being unfit for some pucui-
lar occupation in life: but heed them not ;
whatever employment you follow with perse-
verance and asslduity will be found fit for
you, will be your support in youth and COM
folt in age.

Out Of heaven, Barbara!
Oh palid, pallid face
Oh earnest eyes Of grace!
When last saw thee dearest, was in another place.
You came running forth meet with love gift on

Youwere sleeping, Barbara.

Simple Words.

1t may be glorious to write
Thoughts that shall glad the two or three
High souls like those far stars that come in sight
Once in a century;
But better far it is to speak
One simpse word, which now and then
Shall waken their h ee nature in the weak
And frieAdess sons Of mem
To write one earnest word or line,
Which, seeking not the praise of art,
Shall make a clearer faith and manhood shine
In the untutored cart.

May be forgotten In his day,
But surely shall be crowned at last with those

The only equitable manner, in my opinion,
OF judging the character of man, is TO ex-
anime if there are no personal calculations in
his conduct il there are not, we may blame
his manner of judging, but we are not the
less bound to esteem him.
