VULGAR LANGUAGE.-There is as
much connection between the words
and thoughts, as there is between
the thoughts and the actions. Tho
latter are not only the expression Of
the former, but they have the power
to react upon the soul and leave the
stain OF their corruption there. A
Young man who allows himself TO
uSe one vulgar or profane word, has
nOt only shown that there is a foul
spot upon his mind, but by the ut
terance of that word he extends that
spot and lnhames it till, by indulg-
ence, it will polute and ruin the
whole soul Be careful ofyour words
as OF your thoughts. If You can
control the tongue that no improper
words are not pronounced by it,
you will soon be able to control
the mind and save that from cor
ruption. You extinguish the fire
by smothering it, or by prevent.
ing bad thoughts bursting out by
language, Never utter a word any
where which You would be ashamed
to speak in the presence of the most
refined female, or the most relig-
ious man. Try this practice little
while, aud you will soon have COM

STORY READING.-At Il certain
age children of both sexes delight in
stories. 1t is as natural as for them
to skip run and jump, instead of
walking at the Staid pace of grand
parents. Now some persons think
they do very wise thing when they
deny this most innocent craving and
legitimate outlet. They wish TO cul
tivate, they say, "a taste for solid
reading" They might as well be-
gin to feed a newborn babe on
meat, lest nursing should vitiate its
desire for it. The taste for meat
will come when the child has teeth
to chew it; SO will the taste of solid
reading as the mind matures-that
is, ifit is not made TO hate it by har-
ing it forced violently upon lis atten-
tion during the story-loving period.
That there is a slime for all things
is truer of nothing more than this.
BGter far that parents should admit
1t, than by too severe apprehension
prevent occasion for healthy read
ing.

A TRUE WIFE.-A faithful and
affectiOnate wife is q priceless treas
ure to her husband. She is the
chosen one to assist him through
life--to educate and prepare his chill
dren for proper station in life. The
husbands interest is the wife's care,
and her greatest ambition carries
her no farther than his welfare or
happiness, together with that of her
children. This is her sole aim, and
the theatre of her exploits is the
bosom OF her family, where she can
do as much toward making a fortune
as he can in the counting room OF
work. shor 1t is not the money
earned that makes man wealthy
it is what he saves from his earn.

makes a deposit Of the fruit Of his
labors with his best friend. The

but she is the agent tor many whom
she loves, and she acts for their good
