--" "A babe is q mothers anchor.
She cannot swing far from her moor
ings. And yet a true mother never
lives so little in the present as when
by the side ofthe cradle. Her thoughts
follow tile imagined future Of her
child. That babe is the boldcst Of
pilots, and guides her fearless thoughts
down through scenes of coming years.
The Old ark never made such voy-
age as the cradle daily makes"
-----" There are many troubles
which you cannot cure by the Bible
and hymn Book, but which you can
cure by good perspiration and a
breath of fresh air."
-"Dr. Kane, finding flower I'M
der the Humboldt glacier, was more
affected by it because it grew beneath
the lip and cold blossom of the ice,
than he would have been by the most
gorgeous garden bloom. So some
single struggling grace, in the heart
of one far removed from divine inlu-
enceS, may be dearer to God than a
whole catalogue of virtues in the life
Of one more favored of Heaven"
-" Paul and his companions
meddled, to be sure, only with the re-
Iigion of Jesus Christ; but that, f. it'll
fully preached, NEEDLES with every
thing else on earth"
"Men think religion bears
the same relation to life that flowers
do to trees. The tree must grow
through q long period before the BIOS
Soming time; SO they think religion
is to be a blossom just before death,
to secure Heaven. But the Biblerep-
resents religion, not as the latest fruit
Of life, but as the whole OF it--begin-
ming, middle, and end, 1t is simply
Hght living,"
r -" The most dangerous inGdel-
ity Of the day is the inilelity of rich
and orthodox churches"
- Spreadin Christianity
abroad is sometimes an excuse for not
having it at home"

angels throng about him, saying
: A man is born"
$50 should we live that every hour,
May die, as dies the natural flower,
A self reviving thing of power.
That every thought and every deed,
May hold withinitself the seed
OF future good or future need.
Esteeming sorrow, whose employ
Is to develOpc, not destroy,
Far better than barren Joy.

--C Courage in women is tho ught
by many Of tho fair sex to be SO un-
feminine that some fine ladies even
aiIert cowardico, and pretend to be
alarmed at the presence Of a mouse in
the corner, or a COW in ten acre lot.
But nothing can be more absurd
Fear is often pardoned in women, but
it is never admired. 1t has no con-
nection with gentlenesS, or even gen
tility, and is the source ola vast deal
Of misery and discomfort. Let wo-
men cultivate courage.
--- Earn your own bread, and
see how sweet it will be !.
- The more grand and noble
man is in his actions, the moro sim
plo he ought to be in his conversation
and manners.
We do not want preccpts so
much as patterns, says Pliny; and
example is the softest and least invid-
ious way of commanding.
- Ifthou vouldst bear thy neigh
bors faults, cast thine eyes upon thine
own.
- Young womanhood 1T h g

A flower which is not quite flower,
Yet is no more bud.
-- Many friends. like cards, are
thrown down upon the ground, as
soon as those who have been playing
with them have got all they cared for
out OF them. .
