SroP IN TiME Young man YOU
who take your glass of grog because i;

ing Of your danger, and stop in time -
The custom is fraught with danger, and
50 sure as you persist in it So sure will
you become slave to the bottle You
may think that there is no danger in this
tina: you are so strong within yeu:scf
hat you can stop at any poin: On the
road to ruin, and rctracc your steps with
ease. Deluded man, you may sec your
error when it is too lato-ior there is a
point upon the dangerous road from be-
yond which few have eve, returned, and
these few have performed the feat with
almost suporhuman struggles. You can
break the habit nop-its fctters are not
rivited as yet, and now is the time to
break loose from custom which will
inevitable ruin you if yen persist in its
practice. You are strong enough to
stop now, and yon peril your life and
your soul by risking the threatening
danger any longer. Your heipl, IS
weakness will como upon you in an hour
wleu you least expect it-you will be
in the midst of debanching revcl, and
then gaunt danger will suddenly stand
out before you, and you will then ieel
your helplcssness and want of power to
graphic with curse the most affective
that ever seourged humanity. Stop in

CLOSE OF THE WEEK.-A week 1t is but
a short time indeed, but its events are a host,
its changes many. To whom has the week
just about to close brought JOY Ito whom
sorrow ITO whom riches ITO whom power
ty ITO whom enemies ITO whom love p
to whom hatred ?-to whom misery ?-tc
whom happiness ITO whom sickness ?-tc
whom health ITO whom llfe?-or to whom
DEATH? What! all these in one week
Yes, and a host more numerous than the
sands of the sea. Many who saw the dawn
ing of the present week, will be in another
world before it closes many upon whom for
tune smiled but a week ago, are now groan'
ing beneath the whitening frowns OF poverty
many who were floating gently on the bark
of life, o'cwthe unrufied sea of happiness, q
week ago, are now the wrecks Of ruin on the
shores of affection; many upon whom thu
sun Of last Sabbath shone propitiously, have
ere this time, met with some misfortune, anC
are turned upon the world, The children o
poverty and many whose expectations ant
hopes we're bcaming forth bright and pros
porous at the dawn Of the week, find them
selves at the close the sad and miserable be
ings of cruel disappointment.
And such is the fate Of man! 1t is sub
ject to changes in a week, a day, nay, eve
an hour. The world is still in commotion
revolution succeeding revolution time whirl
ing in its rapid progress, leaving behind it
trace of destruction. And ever in a smaI
community many thrilling and exciting Gil
cumstances might be summed up and record
cd at the close of each week.

The Daath Of the Flowers.
nj WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year,
OF wailing winds, and naked woods, and meadows brown
a d sere,
Heaped in the hollows Of the grove, the witherd leaves
lie dead
They rustic to the eddying gust, and to the rabbits tread
The robin and the wren are flown, and from the shrub
And from The wood top calls the CROW, through all the
gloomy day.
Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers, that lately;
sprung and stood
In brighter light and softer airs, a beauteous sisterhooi f.!
Alas they all are in their graves the gentle race of now-
Are lying in their lewly beds, with the fair and good of
ours:
The rain is falling where they lie but the cold November
rain
Calls not, from out the gloomy earth, the lovely ones
again.
The wind flower and the violet, they persisted long ago,
And the wild rose and the orchis died amid the summer
glow
But on the hill the golden-rod, and the aster in the wood,
And the yellow sun-fower by the brook in autumn beauty
stood,
Till fell the frost from the clear, cold heaven, as falls the
plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was gone from upland
glade and glen.
And now, when comes the calm, mild day, as still sucl
days will come.
TO call the squirrel and the bee from out their winter home
When sound of the dropping nuts is heard, though all tht
trees are still,
And twinkle in the smoky light the waters of the rill,
The south wind searches for the flowers whose fragrance
late he bore,
And signs to find them in the wood and by the stream no
And then | think of one who in her youthful beauty died,
The fair, meek blossom that grew up and faded by my
side
In the cold, moist earth we laid her, when the forest cas-
the leaf,
And we wept that one SO lovely should have a life SO br ief
Yet not unmeet it was, that one, like that young friend
ofours,
So gentle and SO beautiful, should perish with the flowers.

TEMPERANCE FAoTs.-H IS a fact that

they are imprisoned.

Public School Libraries,

A good newspaper would be worth no
small sun in the school-room. Multitudes
are growing up ignorant of the every day
occurrences around them. Let the daily pa
per visit the school-room let a few moments
be devoted to m, ntioning the chief items of
interest, or allow opportunity of consulting
it at the various intervals of study, or when
lessons are fully learned, and better men and
women will be made. The world will not
seem a strange one when they 60 forth to act
for themselves, Teachers, are you troubled
with novels in your schools 2 Do you have
to keep an eye of eternal vigilance to keep
out the vile trash ?-You cannot destroy
that longing for something not in the text
books you may possibly prevent the perni-
cious things from coming into the school
room but may you not take advantage Of
this very longing to aid in education ? Make
a judicious selection Of a paper you are
willing your pupils should read, substitute its
realities for the false pictures of overstrained
Imagination, make such use of it as the cir
cumstances of your school make most fit, and
good will come Of it. You cannot get many
novels for your stove, if your pupils become
interested in the daily paper. Let them be
understood. That History is daily revealing
itself in telegraphic reports of Congressional
and Parliamentary action let them see the
continual record of new inventions let them
read of Humboldt and Kossuth, with as
much interest as you would excite about
Greek and Roman heroes let them be as
much intesested in the intestine broils Of
poor Mexico, as in the long past civil wars
Of Rome-in the strange career of Napoleon
the Third as IN that of Caesar or Hannibal.
Geography comes in the daily papers. FIRE.
monts and ~Livingstons make discoveries too
rapidly for sterotyped text books to keep up
it needs the ever renewed activity of the
periodical press to present new facts as fast
as they are known. The paper at home will
be read if interest be excited at school. Get
a tri-weekly, or scmi-weekly, ora weekly, if
you cant get a daily try to have the regular
visits of periodical intelligence-wait not for
a new geography to learn that Minnesota is
a State. The teacher himself cannot afford
to be without regular intercourse with the
world. AS long as men and women will shut
themselves up to their school-rooms. and text
books, so long will they make the profession
to which they claim to belong, a by-word for
impracticable plans and old ideas. Let them
live in the world, not secluded from it, and
they will be respected according to their
desert.-Winoi Teacher.
