How TO BREAK BAD HABIT-Under-
stand clearly the reasons, and all the rea-
sons, why the habit is injurious. Study the
subject till there is no lingering doubt ip
your mind.
Avoid the places, the persons, the thoughts,
that lead to the temptation.
Frequent the places, associate with the per-
sons, indulge the thoughts, that lead away
from the temptation.
Keep busy. IdIeness is the strength Of
bad habits.
DO not give up the struggle, when you
have broken your resolutions once, twice,
ten times, thousand times. That only
shows how much need there is for you to
strive. -:
When you have broken your resolution,
Just think the matter over. and endeavor to
understand why it was you failed, so that
you may be upon your guard against recur-
renee of the same circumstances.
Do not thisk it a little or an easy thing
that you have undertaken. 1t is folly 20
expect to break up habit in day, which
may have been gathering strength in you for
years.
This, in brief, is our answer to question
which is putto us by anxious inquirers from
ten to twenty times week.

VALUE OF SYApArHY.-A poor widow, the
mother of two children, used TO call on them
at the close of each day, for the report of the
good they had done. One night the oldest
hesitated in her reply to her mothers ques-
tion--'Wh hat kindness have you shownp Il
don't know, mother The mother, touched
with the tone of her answer, resolved to un-
ravel the mystery; and the little. sensitive
thing, when re-assured, went on to say: Co.
ing to school this morning, | found little
Anne g., who had been absent some days,
crying very hard. | asked her mother what
made her cry so, which made her cry more,
SO that | could not help leaning my head on
her neck. and crying too. Then her sobs
grew less and less. till she told me Of her
dear little baby brother, whom she nursed
so long and loved so much: how he had sick
ened. grown pale and thin, whining with pain
until he died, and then they put him from
her forever Mother, she told me this; and
then she hid her face in her book, and cried
as if her heart would break. Mother, could
not help putting my face on the other page
of the book and crying too. as hard as she
did After We had cried together long time,
she hugged me and kissed me. telling me
had done her good. Mother, don't know
ho,c did her good, for only cried acih her;
indeed, did nothing but cry with her.
That is all can tell, for can't tell how l
