drinking is dispensable and prejudicial,

TRY 1T on OH SAM.-Oncc upon a time
on plantation in Kentucky, while little
niger baby was snoozins in its cradle, Il
streak Of lightning came down the capa-
cious chimney Of the cabin and killed it.
Old Sam, an aged darkey. came rushing
in from the storm, and after seeing what
had occurred, he let himself out as follows,
gazing intently at the defunct small dar-
key: "Now, Lord, you tink you hab done
great tings-jus gone and killed poor
little niger baby, what amt WORT two

upon his feet, almost bursting with indig-
nation, and with defiant tone, he yelled
out, "s'pose you try il on old Sam !"

Our Attachment to Life,

The young man until thirty, never feels
practically that he is mortal. He knows it.
indeed, and, if need were, he could preach
homily on the fragility of life but he brings
itnot home to himself any more than in
hot June we can appropriate to our imagin-
alton the freezing days of December. But
now-.shall | confess truth | feel these
audits but too powerfully. l begin to count
the probabilities Of my duration, and to grudge
at the expenditure Of moments and shortest
periods like miser's farthings. In proportion
as the years both lessen and shorten, | set
more count upon their periods and would
fain lay my inefcc ual finger upon the spoke
Of the great wheel. am not content to
pass away like a wcayerS shuttle Those
metaphors soace me not, nor swccten the
unpalaable draught Of morality | care
not to be carried with the tide that smoothly
bears human life 10 eternity, and reflect at
The inevitable course Of destiny. | am in
love with this green earth-the face Of town
and country, the unspeakablc rural solitude
and the sweet security districts. would
set up my tabernacle here. am not content
to stand still at the age at which | am arrived
TO be no younger, no richer no handsomer
[ do not want to be weancd by age, or drop,
like mellow fruit, into the grave! Any alter
aion on this earth Of mine, in diet or in lodg-
ing, puzzles and discomposes me. My house
hold gods plant a terribly fixed foot, and arc
not rooted up without blood. They do not
willingly seek LaVinian shores. A new state
Of being staggers me. Sun and sky, and
breeze, and solitary walks, and summer hol.
days, and the grccnncss of fields, and the Jul.
ces Of meats and fishes, and society, and the
cheerful glass and candle-ight, and frcsido
conversation, and jests, ard irony--do not
these things 60 out with life? Can ghost
laugh or shake his gaunt sides, when you arc
pleasant with Linn life and Remains Of

Lesson in a Prison.

A few Sabbaths since we attended oah-
bath school in common Jail. One hundred
and forty persons, male and female, constltu-
ted the school. AS we stood before them to
impart some counsel, the thought arose =
Probably the turningp point Of character with
them was the doing of some little wrong In car
ly lille They did something which they ought
not to do, or omitted to do something which
they ought 10 have done. This is generally
the beginning of vice and crime No one is
guilty of very fragrant crimes at first. A lit
tie fault is cherished and excused, then
greater one, and thus on till theft and robbie
ry are boldly perpetmtod. Many criminals
begin their career of sin by diSobeying their
parents. A few years since murderer con-
fessed upon the scafold that disObedlence to
devoted mother was the commencement of his
wickedness. From tho moment he resisted
the counsels of maternal love, he went down
in the path to ruin. 1t is ever thus. Prob
ably most Of those one hundred and forty pris-
oners would tell the same sad tale of early
sins.
The late DR.. Spencer said that when he
was lad, his father gave him little tree
that had just been grated One day, in his
fathers absence, he let the colt into the gar
den, and the young animal broke off the graft.
1t was mendcd, however, on the following day
and continued to growfnely. Years passed,
and young Spencer became Il man and min
lister. Some time after he became pastor,
