A Beautiful Picture.

4 mother teaching her child to pray. is an
object at once the most sublime and tender that
the imagination can conceive. Elevated above
earthly things, she seems like one of those guar
dian angels, the companions of earthly pilgrim
age, through whose ministration we are melted
to good and restrained from evil The image
of the mother becomes associated in his mind
with the invocation she taught him to his Faith
or Who is in heaven" When the seductions of
The world aSsail his youthful mind, that well
remembered prayer to his "Father who is in
heaven" will strengthen him to resist evil
When in ripper years he mingles with mankind
and encounters fraud under the mask Of homes
ty;lwhen he sees confding goodness betrayed,
generosity ridicued as weakness, unbridled ha-
tired, and the coolness of interested friendship,
he may indeed be tempted to despisc his fellow
men hut he will remember his Father who is
in heaven"
Should he, on the contrary, abandon himself
to the world and allow the seed of self-love to
spring up and flourish in his heart, he will,
notwithstanding, sometimes hear a warning
voice in the depths of bis soul, severely tender
as those maternal lips which instructed him to
his Father who is in heaven" But when the
trials Of life arc over, and he may be extended
ON the bed of death, with no other consolation
butthe peace of an approving concience, he will
recall the scenes of his infancy, the image of his
mother, and with tranquil confidence will resign
his soul to Him who died that we might live
the Redeemer of the world.

BSS"It is not your neat dress, your expensive
shawl, or your pretty fingers that attract the
attention of men of sense. They look beyond
these. 1t is the true loveliness of your nature
that wins and continues to retain the affections
of the heart. Young ladies sadly miss it who
labor to improve their outward looks, while
they beStow not thought on their minds
Fools may be won by gew-gaws and fashiona-
bic, snowy dresses but the wise and substan-
tial are never caught by such traps. Let mod

great will love to linger in your steps.

A WOMAN Two DAYS AT SEA WITH AN IN
FAxr.-In the steamship Bcllonn, Captain Dix
on, Just arrived at this port, were two stceragc
passengers, concerning whom thrilling incl
dent is related. Franz Meyer, aged twenty
three and his wife, Anna, aged nineteen, from
Canton Soleur, Switzerland were passengers in
the ill-fated ship William Nelson, recently de-
stroyed by fire at sea. In the confusion Incl
dent to the efforts to save life, the husband and
wife were separated The husband was pick
ed up by oneof the ships boats, which was soon
fallen in with by the brig Mercury. The wife,
Young and enciente, was not discouraged at the
uncertainty of her husbands fate, but prepared
for her own safety. Self-preservation couldnot
suppress her womanly instincts so far astoignorc
the feeble cries for help from an infant, only
fourteen days old, left to perish by its distract
ed parents; but regardless of her own state, she
plunged, with her self-imposed charge, into the
sea. For two whole days did this brave young
girl support herself and the infant on the rem
nant of ships spar, without food or water,
sustaining the Infants life by the moisture Of
her olcn mouth Late on the second day, the
same vessel in which her husband was saved
having ceased cruising, without hopeof rescuing
more life, fell in with this heroine, and saved
her and her little charge. Eventually the fam
ily were landed at Hayre, France. The Prus-
sian Consul at that port took charge Of the IN
fant, as its parents were supposed tohaye been
lost with the wreck.-Nelc York Times.

Genuine Religion.

How beautiful is that religion which teaches
me to love God above all things andmy neigh
Dor as myself Religion is benevolcnce, and
benevolence includes every virtue. The benev-
olent cannot be unchaitable, cannot be unfaith-
full, cannot be sensorious, cannot be impure in
act or thought, can not be selfish they love God
and their neighbors and they do as they would
be done by But who is religious? who is be-
nevolent who is at all times pure in thought
or deed who is at all times free from consori-
BUSINESS. from uncharitablenesS? None. Not
one. The precepts taught us as those on which
chang all the law and the prophets . the lore Of
God and the lore ot'hy ReigtbOr, may be I'M
pressed upon the heart and have the whole un-
divided assent of the understanding; while the
mind is in this state the individual is religious.
But the cares of the world and their Earring col
lsions must at times occupy the thoughts, and
divert the mind from this wholesome state
The passions which have been cherished by bad
education-the indulgences that have become
habitual before the beauty of wisdom was per-
ceived by the thousand and ten thousand oc-
currences which tempt the rich to uncharita-
bleneSS, and the poor to envy and malice, all by
turns, Danish the truth from the mind. This
has led men to the desert and to the monastery
to become hermitS and monks; forgetting that
that religion requsres to do as well as to suffer
Truth becomes effective by frequent contempla-
ton and the habitual recurrence of its precepts
induces practice
