Self.Possession.


When one is strong in the conf
dence of being right, to fear lest he be
afraid, is the clearest proof of brave
heart. What do you fear ?" said a
soldier to his comrade, who for the
first time in his life was on the eve of
a battle.
81 fear myself" was the impressive
reply. That mans story could have
been% foretold without the gift of
prophecy he was the first in 'the
imminent deadly breach; !" he planted
the flag of his regiment upon the
enemy's bastions; where the storm
broke widest, there you could have
found him.
The sublimest courage is not with
out tinge of fear; fear, that inpels
a man to beat the roll call: to learn if
what there is of him, be all together |;
to impress each thought and hope of
his, into the service whereon he is go
ing. And this is what we term self
possession. 1t is not to be sort of
human Labrador, and freeze to firm
ness, as some men seem to think it is
only to be ready for duty, and to
do it.

GRowING OLD.-If one has a young
heart in his left-breast pocket, and
everything has gone right with him
every since he can remember, and he
sits in his arm chair, he may easily
imagine himself young-indeed quite
young-in fact, jasve'aile, but it will
not do;-heis old in spite of his hearl
and his arm chair and his-fancies.
1t is painful process, that OF
beginning to find out what the world
has known ever SO long-that the
world is growing old. How it shocks
him some day, as he is walking in the
garden, to shear the gardener talk to
the cook about the old man." and the
old man nobody in life but his adde's
cent self Old mani And he steps az
@ry as cat. and discharges the un,
6 nate gardener, and is in too much
of passion to give him a "char-
acter."
Then, again, " the erasshopper is a
burden" for little things trouble him
as they never did few years ago, but
he thinks little things have got their
growth since those old times. But
this don't quite satisfy him, and he
wonders why his shadow extends SC
far to the eastward.

There's home for the poor that beautiful shore,
When life and its sorrows ended,
And sweetly they'll rest in that home of the blest,
BY the presence of angels attended.
There's home for the sad and their hearts will be
glad, u
When they've crossed over Jordan so dreary;
For bright is the dome of that radiant home,
Where softly reposes the weary.
There's home for the ill, and their bosoms shall
thrill
With the rupture of healthful emotion;
For the invalid's moan will never be known
In that world of peaceful devotion.
There's home for the old, when time and its mold
The fair form of beauty has faded;
And brightly they'll bloom beyond the tomb,
Where the splendor of youths never shaded.
There's a home for the young, and seraphic song
Will that heavenly choir be singing,
While the harps of gold which never grow old,
Through the glittering arches are ringing
There's home for the good, where none may
intrude
Or tempt them with evil or folly;
They'll calmly repose, freed from trials and woes
In that place prepared for the holy.
There's home for the vile, all polluted with guile
When they're cleansed by the quick ming Spirit
They, too, may be heir to that kingdom SO fair,
And all its full glory inherit.
There's a home for all when the fat doth call
Wen fly to the arms of our Savior.
And join in the song of that beautiful throng,
And sing of redemption forever.

The Best Way to Endure Matrimo.y.

Timothy Titcomb" writes as fol-
lows on what is called, with exquisite
irony, the divine institution.
/ suppose there is modicum of ro-
nance in most natures, and that if it
gathers about any event it is that of mar
riage. Most people marry their ideal.
There is more or less ficticious and fall
lacious glory resting upon the head of
every bride, which the inchoate husband
believes in. Most men and women
manufacture perfection in their mates
by happy process of their imagina-
tions and then marry them. This of
course wears away. By the time the
husband has seen his wife eat heartily of
pork and beans, and, with her hair friz-
zled, and her oldest dress on, full of the
en- terprise of overhauling things, he
sees that she belongs to the same raced
himself. And she, when her husband
gets up cross in the morning, and under
takes to shave himself with cold water
and dull razor, while his suspenders
dangle at his heels, begins to see that
man is very prosaic animal. In other
words, there is such thing as honey
moon, of longer or shorter duration
and while the moon-shine lasts, the ra
dance of the seventh heaven canno,
compare with it. 1t is very deliciou.
little delirium-a febrile mental disease
which, like the measels, never returns
When the honeymoon passes away
settling behind hull mountains, or dip
ping silently into the stormy sea of life
the trying hour of marriage life ha.
come. Between the parties there are
no more illusions. The feverish desire
of possession has gone-vanished into
gratifcation-and all excitement hal
receded. Then begins, or should be
gin, the spirit of adoption. If the,
find that they do not love one anothe
as they thought they did, they shoult
double their assiduous attentions t.
one another and be jealous of ever,
thing which tends in the slightest de
gree to separate them. Life is. to.
precious to be thrown away in score
regrets or open differences. And lie

nance of life has fed, and who are dis
