A > Husband and Father.


A young man and his wife were pre-.
pairing to attend Christmas party at
the house of a friend some miles dis
tant. 90 ..F .s....... ..
"Henry, my dear husband, don t
drink too much at the party TO day ;
you will promise me, won't You Z" said
she, putting her hand upon his brow,
and raising her eyes to his face with a
pleading glance. .,... -.
No, Millie, I will not; you may
trust me-" .-...
And he wrapped his infant boy in a
soft blanket, and they proceeded.
The horses were soon prancing over
tho turf, and pleasant conversation be-
guiled the way. ..
4" Now, don't forget Your promise" :"
whispered the young wife, as she pass.
ed up the steps.
Poor thing she was the wife Of n
man who loved to look upon the wine
when it is red. But his love for lis
wife and babe, whom they both idol.
lied, kept him back, and il was not Of
ten that he joined in the bacchanalian
revels.
The party passed off pleasantly, the
time for departing drew near, and the
wife descended from the upper chamber
to join her husband. A k.rang shot
through the trusting heart as she met
INN, for lie was intoxicated-he had
broken his promise. ,... ...... II,
Silently they rode. homeward, save
when the drunken man would break
into snatcbes Of song. or unmeaning
laughter. But the wife rode on, her
babe pressed closely on her grieved
heart.
"Givc me tho babe, Millie; I can't
trust you with him." said lie, as they
approached dark and swollen stream,
which they had to ford.
After some hesitation, she RESIGNED
her first t-born, her darling babe, closely
wrapped in the great blanket, to his
arms. Over the dark waters the noble.
sieed safely bore them, and when lhey'
reached the bank, the mother asked for
the child.
With much. care and tenderness he
placed the bundle in her arms, but when
she clasped it 10 her bosom, no babe
Was there 1t had slipped from the
blanket, and the diunlsen father knew
il not.
A wild shrek from the mother
aroused him, and he turned just in time
to see the little rosy face rise one mo-
ment above the daik waves.
What a spectacle the lido, Of his
heart gone-gone forever! and that,
too, 10y his own intemperance. The
anguish Of tile mother, and the remorse
Of the father, are better imagined tLan
described. s'. :. .-... .

ity. How many learn to hate their
country homes, and crave the pestifer
GUS life Of city; to hate their legiG-
mate occupation, and crave some dan
dy's place behind the counter or desk.
Foolish young men! !! Every city is a
hot-house of wretchedness and foil. 1t
is rotten fungus on the body of hu-
manity. H. is full of disease and pain.
To live in one and not be corrupted, is
to run the gauntlet Of ones life. To
engage in its occupations is TO risk ones
highest happiness and good. Every
city is crowded 10 suffocation with ans.
ious and ambitious young men,, When
the whole country is yearning for their
toll and talent, they huddle together in
cities 10 breed corruption and ruin.
Many young men mistake their talents
through vain desire to shine in tho
gaudy pageant Of a city. They often
fancy their hands are too soft for hardy
labor on the farm, when the real fact is,
their heads are too soft to understand
their best good. Soft hands and soft
heads generally 60 together. It is the
bane OF our age that men crave so much
the sickly sl,ams and shows of city life.
Far healthier, far happier, far more use.
ful is well-spent country life. Let the
young men Of the country cease this
insane craving for city life and voca-
tions. Let them cling to their farms,
and try their tastes aud talents Oh them.
By far the greater number of. young
men are best fitted for farmers espe.
cially so, now that farming is taking on
so many characters. The stock farm.
the grain farm, the fruit farm, the vine
yard, the garden, the nursery. the land
scape garden, agricultural architecture
and ornament-all these afford special
fields for taste and talent. Nowhere
are there richer fields for young minds
and hands to enter, than in the tecming
departments, Of agriculture. The me.
chanic and artist by nature, can find
employment here. The best talent of
any country or age can be nobly en-
ployed in any branch of the agricultu.
raj interest. Let the young men of the
farm consider well their course before
they decide to leave the farm or any,
other vocation. " +.. -

B. The WAY TO BRNe THEM Up.-
This story is told of old Thouckwood's
sons: These sons were sadly addicted
to wicked practices, and one Sunday
morning the minister of the parish met
one of them starting forthe woods with
gun on his shoulder. Seeking out
the father, the clergyman told him that
he ought to admonish his sons, and
bring them up in the fear of the Lord.
~ Fear the Lord" replied old Thouck
wood, "thoy are SO fraid of him now
that they daren't stir out on Sunday

MORAL FORTUNE TELLINo.-Despica.
Bile as the practice which goes by the
name of fortuhe-telling is, we believe
there is kind Of fortune telling which
is not only possible, but easily prac,ised
upon correct principles. Thus to be
gin with the young, when we see a
child obedient to his or her parents, or
,eacbers, or. any ono else towards whom
the subordinate relation has become ne.
cessary, We have no hesitation in pre-.
dieting that good fortune will accom-.
pany such child into early manhood
or womanhood, and ensure fair start
IN adult life. If the case be that of an
honest energetic young man, who has
successfully advanced from the position
OF apprentice and journeyman into that
OF master mechanic or boss, we can
tell his fortune without much difficulty.
So with those who have chose profess
sion as the means Of livelihood. Let us
see how they conduct their business
II they do this intelligently, industrious
~. and honestly, at the start, they will
be very apt TO continue to do so, and
success will be sure in the long rum
Unprincipled inen, in the same line,
may get ahead Of them a, the begin.
ming, but they VII fare best in the end,
and SO illustrate the truth of the maxim.
that honesty is the best policy. We
will. confess that we are no fortune tel
Ter, If it does not so turn out.
