HOME L1FE.-If home life is we'll ordered
the children having, according to age, work
ing time, play time, books, games, and
household sympathies, they will love home,
and find pleasure there.
Give the little ones states and pencils, and
encourage their attempts to make pictures.
Drawing will amuse them when noisy plays
have lost their zest, or are unreasonable
and the art will be useful to them in after
life. Have them read to each other stories
and paragraphs of your selection, and save
the funny things and the pleasant ones you
see in papers and books to read them at your
leisure. You can not imagine how much it
will please them, and how it will bind them
to you. But choose well for them; for the
impression made On their minds now will
last when the hills crumble Have them
sing together, and sing with them, teaching
them songs and hymns Let them sing all
day-hke the birds-at all proper times
Have them mutually interested in the same
things -amusements and occupations ;-hav-
ing specified times for each, so that their
habits will be orderly. Let them work to-
gether in the garden-boys and girls-both
need .out-of-door work. Together let them
enjoy their games, riddles, etc-all their
plays, books, and work-while the parents
eyes direct and sympathize, and their loud
voices blend in loving accord.

feet, and body and muscle, and bone, and
brains; and don't you call them capital p
What more capital did God give to any body?
Oh! but they are not money, say you But
they are more than money. If you will use
them they will make money, and nobody
can take them from you Don't you know
how to use them? If you don't it is time
you were learning. Take hold of the first
plow, e-hoe, or jack plane, or broad-ax that
you can find, and go to work. Your capi-
tai will soon yield you large interest. Aye,
but there's the rub; you don't want to work
you want money or credit that you may play
the gentleman and speculate, and end by
playing the vagabond; or you want plan
tation and negroes, that you may hire an
overseer to attend to them, while you run
about over the country and dissipate, and
get in debt; or want to marry some rich girl
who may be foolish enough to take, you for
your fine clothes and good looks, that she
may support you./
Shame upon you, young man! Go to
work with the capital you have, and you'll
soon make interest enough upon it, and with
it, to give you as much money as you want,
and make you feel like man. If you can't
make money upon what capital you have,
you couldn't make it if you had a million of
dollars in money. If you don't know how
to use bone and muscle and brains, you would
not know how to use gold. If you let the
capital you have lie idle and waste and rust
out, it would be the same thing with you if
u.had gold; you would only know how to
waste.
Than don't stand about like great help
less child, waiting for somebody to come. in
and feed you, but 90 to work. Take the
first work you can find, no matter what it is,
SO that you be sure to do it like Billy Gray
did his .drumming-well. Yes, whatever
you undertake, do it we'll; always do your
best. If you manage the capital you alrea-
dy have, you will soon have plenty more t.
manage; but if you can't or won't manage
the capital God has given you, you will ne
yer have any other to manage. Do you
hear, young man?

FOOTSTEPS OF ANGELS.
BY HENRY w. LoNGrELLow.

BY HENRY w. LoNGFELLow.
When the hours of day are numbered,
And the voices of the night
Wake the better soul that slumbcred
To holy, calm delight;
Ere the evening lamps are lighted,
And, like phantom's grim and tall,
Shadows from the fitful freight
Dance upon the parlor wall;
Then the forms Of the departed
Enter at the open door,.
The beloved ones, the true hearted,
Come to visit me once more.
He, the young and strong, who cherished
Noble longings for the strife
By the roadside fell and perished,
Weary with the march of life
They, the holy ones and weakly,
Who the cross of suffering bore,-
Folded their pale hands so meekly,-
Spake with US on earth no more
And with them the being beauteous,
who unto my youth was given,
More than all things else to love me,
And is now a saint in heaven.
With slow and noiselcss footsteps
Comes that messenger divine,
Takes the vacant chair beside me,
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
And she sits and gazcs at me,
With those deep and tender eyes.
Like the stars, SO still and aint-like,
Looking downward from the skies.
Utter'd, yet not comprehended,
In the spirits voiceless prayer,
Soft rebukcs, in blessings ended,
Breathing from her lips Of air.
Oh, though oft oppressed and lonely,
al my fears are laid aside,
If bat remembered only,
Such as these have lived and died..

I Wish I had a Capital,

SO heard great strapping young man
e3claim the other day. 1 did want to tell
him piece of my mind so bad. But I'll
just write it to him. You want capital, do
you? And suppose you had what you call
capital, what would yod do with it? You
want capital! Haven't you got hands and
