Then, what an antidote it Is to misfortune
and sorrow. Think Of Milton in the blind
ness, obloquy, poverty, and solitude of his
old age. He had nourished in his youth and
carly manhood, the power to appreciate what
is perfect and excellent. So when his natu-
raj vision became darkeued and, one by one ,
the light Of life went out, he had but to sum-
mon around him the beautiful and sublime
things he had stored away in Lis chambers of
imagery. Imagination, the mighty magi-
clan, selected, combined and glori6ed all,
forming new world, world infinitely no.
bier than the one from which he was exclud-
ed. There he reigoed supreme and happy,
though shut out from the light OF day. and
scorned by men. Think of Millions work
and song.
Think of Cowper: for years lowering OF
the verge of madness; often kept from 1t q
despair only by the constant exercise af this
inspiring faculty. 1t redeemed long periods
of his life from hopeless misery and desola
ton.
Think Of Charlotte Broute in her illness
loneliness and grief Her literary pursuits
W. re never allowed to interfere with house

ships of life. There came first, she says
" the faculty of imagination lifting me W
when was sinking three months ago its &C

since; its results cheer me now, for | fee
that they have enabled me to give pleasure
to others. | am thankful to God who gave
me the faculty, and it is for me part of my
religion to defend this gift and profit by it

! 1t is not that we are to cease from the nee
essary work Of life, or that we are to omi
efforts for the well-beng of others, but va
are to cheer and invigorate our souls by cul
tivating the gift which God has bestowed upor

The Season Of Lent.

In happier times than the present." says
one of our Bishops who has entered into his
rest, " this season wrought abundantly the
peaceful fruits of Righteousness and obtained
a pious observance. A revival of the ancient
zeal without its superstition is devoutly to be
wished, but is hardly to be hoped for" The
first object of the season (called Lent from the
Saxon word signifying Spring, the time of its
observance) had reference to our Lords words
ig the 9th of St. Mathew The days will
come when the bridegroom shall be taken
away, and then shall they fast" At the time
of the year, accordingly, the time Of the
Jewish Passover, when this Bridegroom of
our souls, the true Paschal Limb, was taken
away, by his yielding himself up to the bit
ter and bloody death of the cross, as sacri-
fee for our sins, His Church. from very early
times, has kept this solemn season. OH days
well fitted for thought and meditation days
which call us to prayer, retirement, and alb
stinence from the vain pleasures and amuse-
ments of the world, that we may commune
with our own hearts, and search out our spir-
its that serious thought and self-examina-
ton may bring our sins to remembrance,
pursuade us to turn from them, and excite
us with sorrow of heart to look by faith up
on Him whom our sins have pierced, and
mourn bitterly for those transgressions which
were the true cause of all His amazing suf.
ferings and sorrows, and of His death at last.

The Cheerful Teacher.

Cultivate cheerful afectiOaate and Dig
nifed manner i'll your intercourse with your
pupils. Man said Aristotle, is an initiative
animal, and the teacher who cultivatcs
cheerfulness of disposition himself, and speaks
kindly to his pupils, will by his example diff
fuse the same spirit among them, and make
both himself and them happy. The feelings
of human hearts in general, and of all the
little hearts within the walls Of your school
house are linked together by strong and un-
mistakeable bonds of sympathy and cheer
fitness in the teacher will spread like an
electric current over his whole school, and be
felt by every heart within bis little kingdom.
The teacher who treats his pupils with kind
ness and affection, will receive far more love
and obedience from them, than he who never
greets his scholars with smile, and sometimes
unnecessarily wounds their feelings.
A cheerful kind-hcalte ted teacher will always
be welcome to his pupils. They will rejoice
to see him approach the school-housH, even if
the hour for study has not yet arrived be-
cause they know he rejoicos in seeing them
and will not interrupt their amusements be-
fore the regular time. But the moroso and
| ill-natured teacher is ever unwelcome, and
hated by his scholars. He is regarded as the
enemy of their happiness and rarely enjoys
the confidence of his school. On the other
hand the teacher, especially of larger boys
should not forget the dignity Of has profess
ION, Dor place himself entirely on level with
his pupils. They should be taught to respect
as well as love and confde in him. Whilst
it is proper that he should witness, approve
and control their recreations, we think it in
general nnadvisable for him to participate in
them.-Penn. School Journal.

Our Social Circle.
Little Children.

Whoever takes little child into his love.
may have very roomy heart, but that child
will fill it ALL The children that are in the
world keep us from growing old and cold !;
they cling to our garments with their little
hands, and impede our progress to petrefac-
ton; they win us back with their pleading
eyes from cruel care; they never cucumber
us at all. A poor old couple, with no one to
love and to love them, is a most pitiable pic
ture; but howell with small face to fill
broken pane, here and there, as the stranger
goes by is robbed of half its desolateness.
Wehave heard somewhere a sneering state
ment that Poverty is prolific; for our part
we are glad of it. The poor Irish woman,
who had apig and a COW, and a hut full of
children, and not penny to her name, took
the right view of the matter, when she replied
to our wondering at her attachment for the
little Norahs and Patricks :-"Why, bless
your honor, I've nothing else to love!"
Indeed, we are more than half inclined to
think that we all of us do about as much good
in the world before we are seven years old as
we ever do, and certainly a great deal less
evil.
A little child is profitable possession, and
when we hear of anybody's "giving away
one, we marvel how, as he cannot get along
with it, he can ever hope to prosper without
it. 1t is very much like bird that should
dispense with wing fancying that it costs
more to carry it than it is worth.
Children are the most powerful allies hui
mainly can enlist; we call them "hopes"
sometimes, with half laugh. but we may
give them better name, and be too happy
about il to laugh we may call them hope
makers for such indeed they are. We are SC
constructed that we do not love those most
who help us, but those whom we help. All,
many prodigal who would have been in the
cornfeld to this day we're it not SO, has been
welcomed home with feast of fat veal.
A house full of children composes as pow
erful group of motives as ever moved q
heart or a hand; and the secret Of many a
gallant struggle and triumph in the worlds
battle may be found throned in its mothers
lap at home, or done up in little bundle o.
white flannel A nations hope, before now
has been found in basket of bulrushes Gel
ready to be afraid of the man that children
are afraid of, aud be sure that he who hates
them is not himself worth loving.
When the last child is born and grown,
Christmas may be struck from the calender
without being missed or mourned.
Blessings upon the little children, for o
such as they are is the kingdom of Heaven

" The Old Man"

The proud spirit of the young, especially in
the present day, too often shows itself in
throwing off reverence for the parent, and as
suming an air Of independence that will not
brook restraint, and pretends to a great con-
tempt of parental authority. 1t is a bad
sign when child becomes bold enough to lay
aside the tender names of Father and Moth
err, or hose briefer and more atfectionate IT,
ties of Papa and Mama, to which our infant
lips were accustomed, using in the place of
these words of endearment those coarser terms
the " old man." or the old woman, affect
ing to have no special regard for the parents
who bore him literally casting off fear
and refusing to recognize the relationship Of
parent and son and daughter. This habit Of
speaking maybe all unknown to the parents
and many young people who are given to it
are very cautious never to use these terms
when their parents are within hearing. This
shows very unamiabie state Of heart 1t
may be thoughtlessness on the part OF some
children, who have caught the habit from
their associations with others but no youth
whose principles are pure, will suffer himself
to speak of his parents in any other terms
than those Of the highest respect, though they
are thousand miles away.
A father once said to me that when walk
ing in the street he overheard his own son
speaking of him as the cold man." and il
cut him to the heart as if theboy had pierced
him with knife.
The habits of domestic intercourse have
undergone great change in modern times,
perhaps for the better, perhaps for the worse.
But it is said that when the elder President
Edwards entered room where his children
were sitting, they rose always, aGd remained
standing until their father had taken a seat.
Two generations ago, this was common prac.
tice in many families 1t was an extreme Of
respect for parents but it is lar more worthy
of being observed than the contempt of par
ents which in thousands of families has taken
the place of reverence.-N. Y. Observer.
