FRUITS OF VIRTUE.-If you should see
q man digging in a snow drift with the
expectation of finding valuable ore, or
planting seeds upon the rolling pillows,
you would say at once that he was beside
himself. But in what respect does this
man differ from you, while you SOW the
seeds Of idleness and dissipation in your
youth, and expect the fruits ofage will be
a good constitution, elevated affections
and holy principles? Ifyou desire vir-
tuous and happy life, in youth you must
shape your character by the Word of un-
erring wisdom, and plant in your bosom
the seeds of holiness.

Self-Culture.

Selfculture is the most important part
of education-it is worth all the rest.
Every man who has raised himself into
merited eminence by word or deed, owes
his powers mainly to self-culture. 1t is
the source of all true greatness. Homer
was not made poet, nor Moses a legisla-
tor, by schools. By selfformed powers
these men made schools as agencies to
exert influence upon those having less
originality. pc
Lord Bacon said every man made his
fortune-he might have added, and his
character. Organization and circulnstan-
ces create an individuality that if self
trained, bows men to it's purposes. What
is the steam engine? So much wood or
metal, containing SO much water and
coal These elements when brought to-
gether, harmonized, and ordered by in-
tellect, give giant power to subdue the
earth to the DEGREES of man. So doTa
good organization and favorable circuni-
stances enable some men to bow multi
tudes to their wishes. What trained
Shakespeare to dive into the depths of the
human mind, or Elihu Durritt to master
languages and wisdom alike astonishing!
Or what enabled West, born in Pliladel-
phia, of Quaker family who eschewed
the fine arts as belonging to the vanities
of the earth, to eclipse his countrymen as
an artist? Selfculture. 4d.
The craft of kingship is exercised COM
monty very poorly by those who have
served an apprenticeship to it from youth,
Of all sovereigns Cromwell and Napole--
on Buonaparte, selfmade men, performed
the part best. True, the latter made
some sad blunders in relying on the
treacherous dynasties of Europe, instead
of trusting to free institutions. AS
punishment he ceased to be missionary
of liberty. Bitterly did he pay for apiag
hereditary greatness. But when his re-
mains were redeemed from ST. Helena,
and brought in splendor to where he had
reigncd, it was, and must be admitted,
that he had originally abused Fictitious
to exalt natural aristocracy-that ne
had thrown open career Of selfcultiva-
ted ability, and s=s as=.ed honess-ts<SsI, 80
only who could fill them. Under his sefl--
cultivated counsellors, generals, artists,
engineers and mechanics, &c, France rose
to pitch of ascendancy in Europe, no
power ever attained before, nor is ever
likely to again.

ANTICIPATING EVIL Enjoy the pres
cnt, whatever it may be, and be not solic-
itous for the future; for if you take your
foot from the present standing, and thrust
it forward towards to-morrows event,
you are in restless condition. If it be
well to-day, it is madness to make the
present miserable by fearing that it may
be i'll tomorrow. He, therefore, is wise
who enjoys as much as possible; and if
only that days trouble leans upon him it
is singular and finite. Sufficient to the
day is the evil thereof" sufficient but not
intolerablc. But if we look abroad, and
bring into one days thoughts the evil Of
many, certain andunccrtain, what will be,
and what will never be, our load will be
as intolerable as it is unreasonable.

IMAGINARY M1sFoRrUNEs events
of life are not fortunate or calamitous SO
much in themselves, as they are in their
effect on our feelings. An event which is
met by one with equanimity or indiffer-
ence. will fret another with vexation, OF
overwhelm him with sorrow. Misfortunes
encountered with composed and firm
resolution, almost cease to be evils; it is,
therefore. less our wisdom to endeavor to
control external events, than to regulate
the habitual temper of our minds to endu-
rance and resignation.

A PARENTAL H1Nr-When an accident

A PARENTAL H1NT.-When anaccident
occurs, learn whether it was through mis-
fortune, carelessness, or wilfulncss before
you pass sentence. Accidents are fre-
quently of great service, and children Oh
ten learn more caution and real informa-
ton than from fifty lessons. Be it re-
membered that the perfection of science
is owing to occurrence and remedy of its
early accident.

TIE WIND is A MUs1cIAN.-Extend q
silken thread in the crevice of a window,
and the wind finds it and sings over it,
and goes up and down the scale upon it,
and, like Paganini, performs on single
string
1t tries almost everything on earth to
see if there is music in it. 1t persuades a
tone out of the great bell in tie tower,
when the sexton is asleep; it makes q
mournful harp of the forest pines, and it
tries to see what sort of Il whistle can be
made of the humblest chimney in the
world. How it will play upon great
tree, till every leaf thrills with the notein
it, and winds up the river that runs at its
base, for a sort of murmuring accompani-
ment.
What melody it sings when it gives
a concert with full choir Of the waves OF
the sea, and performs an anthem between
the two worlds, and goes up, perhaps to
the stars that love music most and sang
it the first.
Then how fondly it haunts old houses,
moaning under the caves, singing in the
halls, opening old doors without fingers,
and sighing measure of some sad old
song, around the freless and deserted
hearth.

A Good Example.

Patrick Henly indulged in the habit OF
wearing his hat at all times in his own
house, both in company and when he sat
down to table. He frequently was visi-
ted by distinguished persons, and often
had large companies to dine at his house.
1t was his custom on such occasions, be-
fore the company took their seats at the
table, solcmniy to lift his hat from his
head, and ask blessing. On such occa-
sions he always had wine after dinner.
AS soon as the wine was placed upon the
table, he would rise from his seat, remove
his hat from his head, and return thanks
to his Heavenly Father for his blessings
He would then resume his seat and circu-
late the wine.
The above interesting feature of Pat
rick Hcnry's character, was communica-
ted by one of his daughters to the writer.
1t is given nearly word for word in her
language.
Let us picture to ourselves such scene
in it's simple truth. There sits before US
the sage whose brow was cncircled by a
rich halo of renown; himself, venerable
by age, illustrious by fame, and immortal
by deeds; he is surrounded by a gay COM
pany; suddenly he pauses in his cheerful
conversation his countenance assumes
an impressive gravity; he rises from his
scat; he removes his hat from his head;
he closes his eyes; and in those rich
tones, which made every ear to tinglc,
and caused every heart to swell with the
throb responsive, he acknowledges his
gratitude to Providence, as the giver of
every good and perfect gift. What an
impressive instance we have here, OF a
deliberate "confessing" of the Most High
before men,
When see the head of household,
perhaps surrounded by growing and in
tercsting family, in the enjoyments Of all
the comforts, or even the elegancies OF
life, seating himself at his bountifully
supplied board, without any indication OF
recognition of the source "from which
all blessings flow," I cannot help setting
such a man down as having something OF
the barbarian in his nature. If one
would say at such times only-'amen'-
it would be adequate to suggest to the
mind, that he had probably calculated in
his heart-"God be thanked" But when
L sec a man in this Christian age and
country, thus observe graceless silence
am always forcibly reminded Of the
quaint illustration, used in somewhat
similar case, by the eAfrican Preacher"
who, by the way, was born heather
Just 50 (said he) with the hog, that
roots all day among the leaves, eating the
acorns, without once looking up into the
tree from whence they fall"

So she arose, and went through many

So she arose, and went through many
towns and villages, seeking to CLEAN tt
dings of her brother, but finding none.
But when the autumn was coming, she
made ready to return to her own country.
But it came to pass the ship was not
ready to sail whereupon she was con-
stained to abide for a brief season in the
city by the sea. And she lived therein
with good woman who was widow
and the woman was mother unto her.
Now on certain day, as she looked
within window, she saw new picture,
even one she had not seen before, though
she had sought out pictures in all places,
hoping thereby to find her brother.
And, as she looked upon the now pic
ture, sraightway the blood rushed to her
heart and she fell down in u swoon for
il was like to her fathers house, with the
bright river in front, and the blue noun
t..ils ia. back And when she was re-
vivod, she found many strange faces
about her. and the picture hung III the
window of the room wherein she was.
Then she questioned quickly themaster
of the house concerning it, and as he was
about to answer, young man came in at
the door, and hearing there was maiden
within who was taken ill suddenly, he
pressed through the crowd, and gazed
with his pale face upon the pale face of
the maiden. And their eyes met.
And they who stood by, mavclled
greatly at the twain; for the maiden cast
herself upon the breast Of the stranger
and sobbcd aloud.
After this, it happened, when the
woods we're clothed in crimson and gold,
that Samuel Lee was lying upon his couch
with Henry Russell seated beside it, when
there was heard a great noise from with
out the chamber and in q brief space,
servant entered hastily, saying:
Mistress Annie is come back
And as Henry Russell sprang up with a
cry of joy to welcome her-for Samuel
Lee was yet feeblc-the door opened,
and Annie came forward, bringing with
her Phillip and Lucy, and having by the
hand little bright-haired boy. And
they all ISnelt by the bedside, and pray
ed their father that he would bless them.
Then Samuel Lee arose, and stretching
out his hands blessed them, and cravcd
forgiveness of his son and daughter, mas
much as great wrong had been done unto
them. .,s...
After this they spalze softly, each to the
other, and Philip Lee took Horny Rus
sell by the hand and called him brother;
and as he did so, his father smiled.
And henceforth there was sunshine in
that house for many years

How TO AVERT DIsEAsE.-The great
thing TO do in order to ward off serious
disease (and sickness never comes with
out a friendly premonition in the distance,
only that in our stupidity or hcedlessness
we often fail to make note Of it,) is SIM
ply to observe three things.
l. The instant we become conscious OF
any unpleasant sensation in the body,
cease eating absolutely.
2. Keep warm.
3. Be still
These arc applicable and safe i'll all ca

attained if. instead of being quiet, the pa

else, keep up gentle perspiration for sew
cral lours. And an observant person
will seldom Eail to discover that he who
relies on iudicious abstinence and mod
crate exercise for the removal of his
symptoms" will find in due time, multi
