enormous amount of $8Oo,boo. No less

~ From the Ameriean Messenger.lgo
The Prisoner and his Mother.

A few years since. in the state prison nj
A., when. the inmates were yatherea for
Sabbath morning service in the chapel. a
clergyman, who was 'providentially in the
city. occupied the uchaplain's place. . In his
appeal to, their hearts, he mentioned the
case OF wayward boy whose pious mother
was in heaven, and who after the successive
steps OF early depravity, was arrested by the
Spirit Of God, recalling the halowed coun.
sells and the prayers Of the departed saint
He became a Christian, and entered the
gospel ministry, The preacher added,
q" And I am that wicked son, saved byf 4
mothers tears" d~lf as.i f5HsW na''1lE.
The religious exercises closed, and the
convicts went to their cells. In the after.
NOON the, chaplain walked, as was his Gus.
tom, the corridors, and looking through
the grated door Of a young mans cell, saw
HIM prostrate on the stone floor, sobbinp
as II his heart were broken. Several min.
utes passed before the prisoner looked up
and discovered the chaplain. When he was
kindly asked what was the matter, he re
piled, Oh, it was that story the minister
told us about his mother; l had lust
such a mother, and it brought her memory
bach Then falling down upon his face
again, with convulsivc grief he said, /" II has
almost killed ne; ; Ihad Just such mother" !"
There within the cold walls Of a prison,
unaffected by sermons and prayers, the OUT
cast became weeping child before the pre-.
sence of pious mother coming with her
familiar, fearful face, and voice Of holy love.

Some show us all their attractions at the
outset, and some only after many an inter.
view The former are often, perhaps gene

themselves the trouble or have the talent to
learn the real merits of the latter, But
what treasure IL is to possess a picture or

charms which every man feels, but which not

A WOMAN WITH WRoNes-If there can
be q agSeater bore in life than man with a
grievance, it is a woman with wrongs. II
issnot selfshness that makes society hard
hearted 70 both classes. 1t is the instinct of
common sense which dictates that, when
people caanot right themselves, nor yet set
in motion the machinery which might belp
them, it is more digniied and becoming OF
rational beings to keep silence, and not let
their life dissolve into spoonful of warm
water. Complaints, well or i'll founded,
soon exhaust "the milder grief of pity."-
In fact, there is no virtue that so soon evan.
crates as sympathy. People grow tired of
being sorry for what they cannot help, and,
becoming angry at grievance that will moi
be driven away, they soothe their own feel
ings by declaring that it is the "people's
own fault" Life is battle; and those
who cannot fight for themselves meet with
no quarter. ...... r.......-

Education of Labor,

Some parents are strict to require daily
physical exercise of their children before and
after school, in the way of labor. To this
course some are prompted by necessity, and
others by principle. Their children are re-
9ulred 10 perform given amount Of work.
lhls Is, IN particular, true of farmers and of
others In rural districts. And if the labor
be appropriate in kind and amount, the val.
ue OF this practice cannot be estimated. -
Every child should be carefully prac.iced in
some needful industrial employment. No
other education is more important. Work
is the great law TO which God and Mature
bind US. AS a preyenter of evil. and a pro-
ducer Of good, there is nothing in all the
world ike industry like hard work. Our
children better be reared in ignorance of
books, than in ignorance Of all kinds Of pro-
ductive industry. This truth applies to the
children of the wealthy, as well as to all
others; for all men and women, not invalids,
who do not by their own efforts earn their
own living. are worth less than they cost.
Some one has said that "an idle mans
brain is the devils workshop" II this idea
be correct, he has little reason to be proud
of his quarters; and perhaps justice would
require that some allowance on this account
be made in passing judgment on the quail.
ity Of the work he turns out. Z" 0'"etl ~
But seriously, do not the highest and
dearest interests Of society demand that in
the school, as we'll as in the family, the idea
should be made prominent, that labor is
alike neediul and honorable for. alli-
What greater calamity could befalI the
world than to have youth educated to look

custom that every boy should "learn a

can, in the course of some remarks upon
the wonderful exploits of Rarey in subduing
vicious horses, gives the following directions
for accomplishing the same object: 9idnt1b
HProcnre some finelygtated horse castor!
apd oils Of cpmip and .rhodium, and keen
the three separate in alrstight vessels. Rub
q little of oil Of ,cumin upon your hand, and
approach the horse on the windward side,
so that he can smell the odor OF the Seufiin.
The horse will then suffer you to approach
him without any trouble. Immediately rub
your hand gently, on the horses nose, get.
ting q little of the oil on it, and you can lead
him anywhere. Give him little Of tie
castor on any substance for which he has
a taste, and in the most suitable manner
manage to get eight drops of the oil of rho.
dunn upon his tongue, and he will at once
become obedient to the most exacting com.
mands with which horses are capable Of
complying. Be kind. and gentle to him,
and your supremacy will be established, no
matter what may have been his previously
wild and vicious character. We understand
that Mr.. Rarey has been challenged by d.
Sullivan, also a horse tanner (grandson of
