TRIUMPH OVER Ev1L--We are rewarded
for every triumph we make over temptation.
l will suppose there are many whe have strug-
gled against the vanity of vain pleasures !;
many who have put down evil thoughts with
a strong will many who, after long, and,
it may be, an uncertain conflict with the Sc
auctions of the world at length have triumph
ed will put it to them whether, when
they have combatted and SO prevailed against
the evil, and their hearts have not softencd
and melted within them, whether they have
felt within their bosoms seraphic influence
They have so felt, and so it will ever be.
No sooner shall they have driven from them
the tempting demon Of pride, of vanity. Of
anger,--no sooner shall the devil have left
them, than angels will come and minister un.
to them.-Jerrold.

CULrIvATE CHEERFULNEss. - An anxious
restless temper that runs to meet care on its
way, that regrets lost opportunities too much,
and that is over-taking in contrivances for
happiness, is foolish, and should not be in
dulged. II you cannot be happy in one way
be happy in another, and this facility of dis
position wants but little aid from philosophy,
for health and good humor are almost the
whole affair. Many run about after felicity,
like an absent man hunting for his hat, while
it is on his head or in his hand Though
sometimes small evils, like invisible insects,
infict great pain, and single hair may stop
vast machine, yet the chief secret Of conf
fort lies in not suffering triaes to vex one,
and 10 predently cultivating an under growth
of small pleasures, since very few great ones,
alas are let on long leases. Richard Sharp.

Books AND THEIR INFLUENoE-How many
homes are destitute and void of those treas
ures- homes, too, where are displayed all the
little gewgaws aid triukets to attract the eye.
OF en- have we entered the parlor of those in
middling circumstances, where every stand,
sidetables or shelf had upon it some weak
minded PERSONS taste displayed, but in the
way of books, not one was to be seen. Pa
rents, many Of them having large families,
are likewise bereit Of these valuable compan-
ions, save, in many instances, the family BIZ
BILE, and the torn and scrubbed school-books
Of their children. Did they only know that
by selecting a few Or well-chosen assortment
of books, and flom time to time making ad.
ditions, handsome library might be formed
which should be within the reach of all, and
that many wild, rowing boy might be kept
from the streets, and from mingling with the
perincious influences which invariably must
surround him.
Books, to IN inspiring mind, have charm,
Il fascination that never tires; they take hold
of thought and enchain you within their pre-.
cincts. and by cultivating this taste it moulds
and softens their very nature, as well as adj
ding information at the same time.

WoRK-There is perennial nobleness and
even sacredness in work. Were he ever so
benighted, forge full of his calling, there is
always hope in man that actually and earn
estly works; in idleness alone there is per.
petual despair. Work, never so mammon-
sh. mean, is in communication with nature ;
the real desire to get work done will itself
lead one and moro to truth-to natures ap.
pointments and regulations, which are truth.
Consider how, even i'll tho meanest sorts of
labor, the whole soul of man is composed into
kind Of real harmony the instant he sets
himself to work. Doubt, desire, sorrow, re-
morse, Indignation, despair itself-al these,
like hell-dogs, lie beleaguering the soul of the
poor day-worker, as Of every man but he
bends himself with valor against his task
and all these are stilled, all these shrink muir.
muring far off into their caves. Blessed is
he who has found his work let him ask nc
other blessedness. -Corlyle.

ScoLDINe. There are brethren who obey
the injunction to "wato on exhortation' main
ly by seolding, They speak words of reproof,
forgetting that it is theirs to exhort rather
than to rebuke. Such persons do not feel
called on to "alure to brighter worlds" but
to drive men along some highw y to the land
of the blessed. Even pulpits are sometimes
overchargsd with messages of reproof, and
the minister breaches as if it were no part Of
hio commission to be " "a son of consolation y
and having on him the Spirit of the Lord, to
appoint into them that mourn in Zion, aud
give them beauty for ashes, the oil of 10y for

FACT IN ELooUENoE.--The subject of the
first article in The atlantic Monthly for
September is "Eloquence," which is treated
with discriminating ability. 1t is urged that
true eoquence must have foundation and
body. 1t "must be grounded on the alaiuest
narrative Afterwards, it may warm itself
until it exhales symbols of every form and
color, speaks only through the most poetic
forms, but, first and last, it must still be a
biblical statement of fact. The orator is
thereby an orator, that he keeps his feet ever
on fact. Thus only is he invincibe No
gifts, no graces, no power Of wit, of learning
or illustration, will make any amends for
want of this. All audiences are just to this
point. Fame of voice or of rhetoric will
carry people few times to hear speaker,
but they soon begin to ask, What is he driv-
ing at 2 and if this man does not stand for
anything he will be deserted. A good uphold
err Of anything which they believe, fact
speaker Of any kind, they will long follow"

Somc time since we copied beautiful in

TINT last struggle with the Great Archer, be-
fore mortality puts on Immortality; but in

teFests himself in the great charities of this

dark valley, before the pestience developed
itself in the life-blood Of little Emma.
The disease was rapid in progress, and yes
terday We stood by the bedside Of the little
sufferer Her tangled hair floated over her
shoulder, the roSe-tirted cheek had become
waxen the change was evidently near. Sud-
denly from deep stupor she reused into an
attitude of the utmost attention. The eyes
sparkled like diamond in gas light, and a
slight tinge OF pink appeared on her cheek,
as she sprang up whispering, with subdued
interest, ''Hark, the sky is full o! music. 1t
is the angels; they come into the room; they
come round the bed Oh! il is brother,
cousin, aunt and many, many more" She
stretched GU. her hand, her face dimpled with
a heavenly smile, aud with fhe exclamation
"I GOMEZ" she sank back upon the bed
The vital spark had fed, but there was none
of the deformity Of death there. A seraphic
smile dwclt on the features, aud they still bore
the same cxuItant expression as when she ut
tered, 81 come" in response to the invita-
ton OF The angels Death had daguerreo-
typed smile as be gave life to another angel.

PARENrRL EXAMPLES. Example is liv.
ing lesson. The life sparks. Every action
has tongue. Words are but articulatc
breath. Deeds are the iac-similies of the
soul they proclaim what is within. The
child notices the life 1t should be in har-
mony with goodness, Keen is the vision of
youth every mark is transparent. If a
word is thrown into one balance, deed is
thrown into the other. Nothing is more i'm
portant than that parents should be consistent.
A sincere word is never lost. But advice,
counter to example, is always suspected
Both cannot be true; one is false. Example
is like statuary. 1t is reality. The eye
dwells upon it; the memory recalls it; the
imagination broods over it. Its influence ca
tiers the soul Parental example becomes in
corporated with the childs Understandings
He cannot forget it if he would. If it is
good, it blesses. If it is bad, it curses. The
parent may die, his example cannot. Let
life, then, he an unblemished picture, con-
sistent whole.

o. Mary, by Heaven lent,

And from her home all comfort went
When Mary left US.
We fear no ills, no foes,
Though they surround US
Pass on, thou cloud Of many woes!
The worst has found us.
II lowest cannot fall,
Need we be wary!

When we lost Mary.
In vain, vex'd Sea Of Change,
Thou thy rocks chafest!
Secure, thy dreaded verge we range;
