SPEAKING WELL OF OTHERS.

If the disposition to speak we'll of 9th
ers were universally prevalent, the world
would become comparative paradise
The opposite disposition is the Pandora
box, which, when opened, fills every
house and every neighborhood with pain
and sorrsw. How many enmities and
heart-burnings few from this source +
Hew much happiness is interrupted and
destroyed ! Envy, jealousy, and the
malignant spirit of evil, when they find
vent by the lips, go forth on their mis-
sion, like foul iends, to blast the repu-
tation and peace of others. Every one
has his imperfections, and in the con-
duct of the best there will be occasional
faults, which might seem to justify ami
-madversion. 1t is a good rule, however,
when there is occasion for faultinding,
to do it privately to the erring one
This may prove salutary. It is proof
of interest in. the individual, which will
generally be>taken kindly if the manner
of doing it is not offensive. The COM
mon and unchristian rule on the contra
ry, is to proclaim, the failings of others
to all but themselves. This is unchris-
tian, and shows despieable heart.

PLAIN TRUTH.-Some one who seems
to understand the subject describes the
education of "young gentlemen and la-
dies" of the would be fashionable sort,
which tends only Ito mental weakness
and fashionable decay, asifollows:
"a young gentleman; smooth faced
STRIPPING; with little breeding and less
sense, ripens fast, and believes himself a
nice young man. He chews and smokes
tobacco, swears genteelly, coaxes en-
bryo imperials with bears grease, twirls
a rattan, spends his fathers money
drives fast horses on horseback and in
suIkeys double and single; drinks Ca
tawba, curses the Maine law, and firts
with young ladies' hundreds of which
are just like himself, though of differ
ent gender and this is the fashionable
education of the day. Fathers and
mothers of these fools were once poor.
Good fortune has given them abund-
ance. Their children 60 through with
an inexhaustible fortuue, and into the
poor house. Parents you are responsible
for this folly. Set your sons and daugh.
ters to work and let them know that
only in usefulness there 10 honor and

BETTER GO SLOW.

In all the various scenes of life
Its noise, confusion, turmoil, strife
These little words, if borne in mind,
Would suit right well all human kind
''Go slow r.

Upon his Governors, hard earned cash.
VIII think, when all his moneys fed,
This motto should have filed his head
"Go slow !"
The firt with lovers at her feet,
Her cheeks so fair, her heart deceit.
When years shall steal her charms away,
Will weep she did not in youths May
go slowp
The man of money--he who spends
His thousands on his horses, friends,
May sit down in after years
To con this lesson through his tears.
"Go slow !''
The husband who, 10 see more of life,
Deserts his children, home and wife,
When sunk beneath the hand of fate,
Will mourn he did not, ere too late,
The wife who always shopping goes,
Leaving her children out ut toes,
Should keep this matter in her heart,
And learn to act a mothers part
''Go slow p
The banker counting cent per cent
Fhe landlord eager for his rent
The clerk behind his masters till
Twill suit you all, this lesson will

Tis always best to travel slow

REPRoDucrIvE PowER OF FARrH-A
single atom of Spanish moss attacher
itself to a southern tree; every moment
and hour, day and night. summer and
winter it steadily extends itself, until
the whole tree is hung in the drapery of
death.
The toad-stool mushroom, so deadly
IN its nature, is the work ef . nigh, and
augments with wonderful rapidity.
So it is with low grade of animal
and vegetable growth, which feeds on
filth and reprOduces itself with the ut
most celebrity. thus spreading its area,
and concentrating it's corruptive and
destructive agencies, sweeping away hu-
man life like chaff.
These prenicious growths, scarcely
themselves prsceptibls to the naked eye,
have something unreasonable more min
ute, which answer to seeds, which fly
ing in every direction, and attac hing
themselves to all moist surfaces, begin
Instantly to grow. Thus it is that spsts
of neglected filth need but little mois-
ture and warmth to breed their deadly
contagious, and scatter their leprous
diseases far and wide.

their dwellings is plague spst, and let

BENEvoLsCE.

No doubt the most of our young rea-
ders can easily render the meaning OF
this word, but as it is practically not
well understood, let Us dilate somewhat
upon its definition. Benevolenee means
good will, kind and friendly disposi-
tion towards others; having at heart
their we'll being, and their success in
everything that pertains to their best
interests. It is a religious duty. and is
inculcatcd by the teaching of Inspira-
tion. True piety is incomple without
it. Its absence leaves the human fami-
ly incapable of holding together. Auar-
chy, confusion, and an eud less tide of
misery and destruction would inevitably
ensuo. 1t is opposed to Malevolencs its
antagonistic, term indicating i'll will
towards our fellow beings. This will
include moroseness, sslishness, pride.
thoughtlessness, as well as such grosser
traits as inhumanity, oppression, and q
host of kindred dispositions that are so
many fruits of our depraved natue.-
Benevelence is in contrast with mean
mesa trait universally adhered, and
which all profess to avoid But are all
found to attain to the full development
Of Christian Benevolonce ? How is it
with all of you, our young readers !? II
it seen and felt among you as brothers
and sisters in family circle Is it prac-
ticaly carried cut among you as school
mates while attending schools Is it
observed throughout your intercourse
with people of every age, sex and cast I
Does q month, week, or day pass
over you without some little gust of
passion, or outbreak of opprobrium to-
wards some one of your play mates or fel-
lew beings? If these things be so, then
your benevolsnce is imperfect. Think
and consider this matter seriously our
young friends. Now while you are young
and your minds thus plastic are taking
their formations, the foundations of last.
ing happiness or misery is about to be
fixed by you.
In making your happy choice in this
matter, the following suggestions may
be in place:
Ist. Place guard over your words
For the want of this preeautien how Of
ten an offence is given unintentionally
Words, when out, are sometimes diff |
cult to recall; and when recalled, gene
rally give an unpleasant and humbliDg |
sensation to the person that first uttered
them. By habituation to propriety of |
speech you will not have to repent of
this error. But words uttered with |
malevolent feeling-Oh, how biting n
They abide as bardea arrows. and the
sure is very difficult to effect. The pre-
ventive is preferable to the cure Let
thy words be few and well chosen"
I'd. Let our actions be not less cars-
fully marked than our words. Savage
notions, and the benighted prey upon
ons another, but those that are enlight-
sned by Christian principles have sure
word of prophecy which it is our duty to
follow. Man is constituted for society.
We are not to shut ourselves up in order
that We may not be interrupted in our
,elfshness- The miser is always viewed
With pity and contempt; his enjoyments
1t best are very limited, and when he
leaves the world no eulosies follow. Be.
nevolence carries its own reward with it,
and his reward is hundred fold
