Never Despair.

This life is a constant warfare. The good
triumph to-day, the evil Tomorrow But the
young and the old, should toll on, toll ever,
and never say die" Life is full of hope
and happiness, if tho purposes for which it is
given, are properly used. We want but it,
tie in order to make us really happy. We
want much to supply all our imaginary wants,
to supply the desires which arise fron. the
foolish pride of the heart There ale too
many in this age who sigh for wealth, large
possessions and splendid establishments, and
endavour to make themselves miserable be-
cause they have them not. If you arc un-
happy, work toll on be busy, be industri-
Gus, do something, and you will be somebody
and you will be happy. The really industi-
GUS man is the really happy man. Idlenecs
is miSery-idleness is corruption. If the wat
crS are stagnant, they are impure. If the air
is confined, it is unfit for the lungs. Motion,
action, are necessary to health and virtue
The young men should never despair
He may think it hard to work, but work is a
real, substantial blessing. Labor, all useful
labor, is honorable. Adam was gardner.
Eve was dress-maker, and tho great and
good have even been laboring men and labor
ing woman. Weknow there are those who
look upon all labor as degrading, and we know
too that such as those are wanting in sense.
Il know that man will prosper" said a
friend to US the other evening, ola young
mechanic, because he is at work in his shop
early and late.'
1" Scesth thou man diligent in his bust
ness, he shall stand before kings" Frank
lin was diligent in bushes, and he stood un.
awed before kings.
Young mon, never despair Let no one
despair; work on, work ever. Gather up
knowledge. BE virtuous, do right live tenn
perately, " do good unto all men as you have
opportunity" " live peaceaby with men, if
you cam be generous and open hearted and
open handed, and remember that the little a
good man hath, is better than tho much of
the wicked Let not avericc, or dosirc for
wealth take possession of your soul. This
desire is dest ructive to mau's best good.

pity the man who frowns upon them. Guard
them well, and cautiously bestow to their COM
fort. When the world without is sad, and the
adverse storms arise, there is one paradise,
turning within, and the realm is set about with
gorgeous summer bloom, and peopled with a
race fairer than Eve, and with sylen tongue
The strong man may be hard and gloomy,
but his heart will grow fresh, and his soul
blossom like the rose, with most soothing per-
fume, if the little winged stranger has not been
disowned.
In this well of appinesS-oftimes pcrpet-
ual longing and regrets embodied the whole
fountain and foundation of literary success.
Does any one believe but IN angel clad in robes
of sunny hue, cheered the long journey and
awoke the amber dells and genial vale of Irv-
ing's most brilliant and successful career. Does
any one doubt the commanding presence of the
worshipped but never clasped angel in the
journey of the poets in their transformation of
the unsightly real into everything beautifully
But It's not for me to lift the veil and lot the
little stranger in to the vision Of any eyes not
forever its beholders. SIN.

Fate of Fast Men.

ways before they are forty The wicked
" liveth not half his days The world at
once ratifes its truth, and assigns the reason
by describing the dissolute life Of fast men,
that is, they live fast they spend the twelve
hours in six, getting through the whole before
tho meridian, and dropping into darkness
while others are in the glory of light. Their
sun gocth down while it is yet day And
they might have helped it. Many one dies
long before he need. Young men Of genius, like
Burns and Byron, to whom, when disspated,
and profigato, thirty seven is SO final your

cannot stand the strain they put to it while
the state OF their minds is often such that the

from the ineessant hell of its own thoughts.

The Blinded Birds.

A cruel boy, who took deligh in torlurlng
little animals, used to entrap little birds and
then he put out their eyes because no was
tod the poor little creatures when deprlv-
ed of their sight would sing more sWeet,ly'
BY and by love Of money prompted this
wicked boy to catch and blind many BIRDS
and sell them to sing in cages and thought
less people would buy them. If any ladies'
bought them, let us hope, for the honor OF
woman, that they did so to save the poor IN
nocents from further crueltles.
AS his birds we're in demand, he ade quite
a trade of until no became man, when 1t
pleased God to convert his soul. We need
not say thathe Immediately gave up his cruel
business, and became d t. nder-hearted good
man. Nothing but the grace Of God could
have made this change. Still the remem-
brance of his cruelty made him unhappy.
The image of the poor little slght|ess birds
used to haunt him by day and by mig ht ; and
though tho mercful God had pardoned his
sins for the blessed Saviours sake, yet he
could not forgive himself for tho crueltes he
had practised. When he became the father
of little girl, it was soon perceived that she
was blind. His grief was cxcessi' 9 he felt
that it was a judgment from heaven, thong
he knew that he deserved much moro and
when he gazed on his poor child, and thought
that it was probably for his sins that she was
thus afflicted, it was a source of anguish to
him for the remainder of his ife.-Child S

Copying A Blot.

Mother, who of all the big boys should
you like for me to pattern o. asked little
boy who was looking round for good ex-
ample.
WHO would you think ?" asked his mo-
Their "you know the big boys better than |
do"
The little boy thought. Then no said /:
" There's Dan Parker, no smokes; there's
Bill Parker, he swcars; Tom Jones, he's got
horrid temper Sam Jay, he sprees it Jim
Wood, he hates study Joe Blake he's cross !;
Charlie Doc, he goes fishing on Sunday Gus
Tying, lie tells whoppers. Mother, there isn't
one that, if l copy, shouldn't copy blot
from"
cob! how the ugly blOts in our character
stand out !" " Well" said his mother, there
is one perfect pattern Who?' asked the
boy eagerly L should love to know him"
The Son of God," answered she, " who did
no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth,
and who left US an example that we should
follow his steps," 0 children God knew
you would need perfect pattern to copy
from! You could not copy God, because he is
a Spirit therefore he sent his son to become
a child in this world, to show you the pattern
of heavenly boy, and he wishes you to be-
gin, when child to grow into his likeness.
In his character there is no blot to copy. He
is pure

Purity of Character.

Over tho beauty of the plum and the april
cot there grows bloom and beauty more ex.
puisitc then the fruit itselt-a soft delicate
flush that oyersprcads its blushing cheek.
Now, if you strike your hand over that, and
it is once gone, it is gone forever for it nov
er grows but once. The flower that hangs
in the morning, impearled with dew, arrayed
as no quctnly woman ever was arrayed with
Jewels once shake it so that the beads roll off,
and you may sprinkle water over it as you
please, yet it can never be made again what
it was when the dew fell silently on it from
heaven. On frosty morning you may see
the panes Of glass covered with landscapes
mOuntains, lakes, and trees blended in
most beautiful, fantastic picture. Now,
lay your hand upon the glass, and by a scratch
of your finger, or by the warmth Of your palm,
all the delicate traccry will be oblteratcd.
So there is in yOu beauty and purity of char
acter, which when once touched and de6led
can never be restored, fringe more delicate
than frost work, and which, when torn and
broken, will never be re-embroidercd. He
who has spotted and soiled his garments in
youth, thOugh he may seek to mako white
again. can never wholly do it, oven were he
to wash them with his tears. When a young
man leaves his fathers house with the bless
ing of mothers tears still wet upOnhis brow,
ifhe once lose that he can never make whole
again. Such is the consequence of crime
Its effect canhot bo eradicated; it can only
be forgiven.

How TO LIVE WtLL.--Good meals at mod
crate intervals, and the stomach lott to rest
between. Some interyaI--an interval Of ac-
tive exercise is best-botween books and
food A leisure hour for dinner, and cheer
full conversation after it. A short nap, for
those who need or like it after dinner. Light
occupation in the evening literature, or cor
respondence, with more or less social inter
course music, or other recreation. These
are each and all highly desirable; but the
most indispensable Of all is strenuous and
various exercise.-MsS Maritineau.

Did Jesus Sing =?
is pure.

At gathering of children on Christmas
day, gentleman present related very in
tcresting incident.
A little girl about three years of age was
very anxious to know why Christmas-greens
were so much used, and what they were in
tended to signify.
So Mr.. L. told her the story of the babe at
Bcthlchem-of the child whose name was
Jesus.
The little qpestioner was just beginning to
give voice to the music that was in her heart /;
and after Mr.. L. had concluded tho narrative,
she looked up in his iac9 and asked " Did
Jesus sing p
Who had ever thought OF that ? Ifyou
will look at Matthew, twcnty-siXth chapter
and thirtieth verse, you will there find almost
conclusive proofs that Jesus sang with his dis
ciples.
Is not that encouragement for us to sing
not with the understanding only, but with the
heart also ?-Sumday School Gazette.

Gl)c Gomilp Circle,
Ripe Apples and Ripe Hearts,

hlpe apples ana APE beaTCs'
on the trees in yonder orchard,
Peeping out amid the leaves,
Hang wealth Of ruddy apples,
Golden as thtIharvest sheavOs;
Hanging like vivid picture
In the framework Nature weayOs,
They are round, and full, and glossy,
WITH their cheeks Of crimson geld
They are iuisy, ripe, and mellow.
Half their sweetness is not told
Where We read Ct golden apples,
in the Bible days OF old.
They have hung since their first forming,
Buaeted the wind and rain,
Shivcred in the chllyIweather,
Till the sunlight came again,
They have borne the heat Of summer,
Seen its brightness wax and vane.
They are waiting to be garnered,
Growing ripper day by day;
when the frost Of Autumn cometh,
One by one they'll drop away,
And new trees shall sprout and flourish,
From the place Of their decay,
How our hearts are like these apples,
Growing larger every hour,
MI thro' life's hot ,'restIess summer,
Gaining knowledge, truth and power,
If We keep them in the sunlight,
As We would treasured flower.
8r1eting the chilling tempests,
Met at every turn of life,
Drawing countless cares and trials,
With which every day is rife
Growing ripper, swecter, rarOr.
Growing better in.thc strife.
Showing forth new beauties daily,
Till the chilly aHtumn-time
Tometh with its frosty fingers,
And its sad and mournful chime,
Touching chords upon our life strings
That with & ID and heaven rhyme.
Ahcn the frost Of age is gath'ring
One by ono we'll fall away
And our ripe hearts shall fall with us
To our lowly house Of clay
But purer form shall spring up
From the place OF their decay.
