THE TOLL.GATE OF LIFE.

We are all on our journey. The world
through which We are passing is in some
respects like turnpike-all along where
vice and folly have erected toll,gatcs for
the accommodation of those who choose to
call as they go-and there are very few Of
all the hosts of travellers who do not occa
sonally stop little at some one or other
of them, and consequently pay more or
less to the toll gathercrs. Pay more or
less, we say, because there is great va.
ficty as well in the amount as in tho kind
of toll extracted at these different stopping
places.
Pride and fashion take heavy tolls of the
purse-many man has become beggar
by paying at their gates--tho ordinary
rates they charge are heavy, and the road
that way is none of the best.
Pleasure offers a very smooth delightful
road in the outset; she tempts the traveller
with many fair promises, and wins thous
ands but she takes without mercy; like
an arful ro bier, she allures till she gets
her victim in her power, and then strips
him Of wealth and money, and turns him
off miserable object, into the worst Of
our most rugged roads of life.
lntcmperancc plays the part of sturdy
villain. He is the very worst toll-gathercr
on the road, for he not only gets from hi.
customers their money and their heath
but he robs them of their very brains
The man you meet on the road, rugged
and ruined in fame and fortune are his
visitors.
And SO We might 60 on cnumeratng
many others that gather toll of the unwary.
Accidents sometimes happen it is true,
along the road, but those who do not get
through at least tolerably well, you may
be sure have been stopping by the way at
some of these places. The plain commons
sense men, who travel straigh forward, get
through the journey without much diff
Guilty.
This being the state of things, it becomes
every one, in the outset, if he intends to
make comfortable journey, to take care
what kind of company he keeps in with
We are all apt to do as companions do
stop where they stop, and pay toll where
they pay. Then chances are ten to one
but our choice in this particular decides
our fate
Having paid due respect to choice of
companions, the next important thing is to
observe how others manage; to mark the
good or evil that is produced by every
course of life-see how those do who man.
age we'll; by these means you learn.
BE careful of your habits; these make
the man, And they require long and
careful culture, ere they grow up to to a
second nature. Good habits we speak of.
Bad habits are more easily acquired-they
are spontaneous weeds, that flourish rapid,
ly and rankly, without care or culture.
A CURcULIo REMEDY.-P. III. Perry
of Collins Centre, N. Y, writes as fol
lows:
GA gentleman lately informed mo that
he had raised good crop Of plums simply
by spreading a heavy coat of fresh horse
manure on the ground under his trees,
He said it entirely prevented the ravages
of the curculio, when on their account he
had not been able 10 gather crop Of
plums for years before.

LET THE CHILDREN SLEEP.

We earnestly advise that all who think
a great deal, who have infrm health, who
are in trouble, or who have to work hard
to take all the sleep they can get without
medical means.
We caution parents, particularly, not to
allow their children to be walked up of
mornings - let nature wake them up, she
will not do it permaturely; but have a
care that they 60 to bed at an early hour;
let it be earlier and earlier, until it is
found that they wake up themselves in full
time to dress for breakfast. Being walked
up early, and allowed to engaged in difficult
or any studies late, and just before retiring
has given many beautiful and promising
child the brain fever, or determined ordi.
nary ailments to the production of water
on the brain.
Let parents make every possible effort
to have their children go to sleep in q
pleasant hNmor. Never scold or give lec-
lures, or in any way wound child's feel
ings as it goes to bed. Let all Danish
business and every worldly care at bedtime
and let sleep come to mind at peace with
God and all the world.
