their rights would not long be withheld,
as the entire sympathy Of the public was

Mr.. Newman, Of the Burnishers' Ass0-

The reasoning was unanswerable. we soon
arrived at Mrs. Jones'. whom we found sur

twelve-month old to eight years. The old lady,
who was exceedingly neat and pleasing looking
was making no attempt at teaching. She had a
young niece with her who attended chiefly to the
young creatures who were trampllng about and
PLAYING without fear or care. Mrs. Jones APP

and she willingly undertook the care OF the
children when payment was insured to her,
though she asserted that Sukey Stevens did
owe her "a power o. coppers.'

OF insurance. The G25 yearly to be taken into

effected, would give something less than los q
week extra. This sum, when one is bound to
live so very economically, might be done with

STAND ALoNE.--sooiety is

STAND ALoNE.-Society is
much infested with adult ba-
bies, who cannot or will not
stand alone. These weaklings
are decidedly more troublesome
than the little toddlers who
stagger from chair to chair in
their first attempts at unasisted
loeomotion. The grown up
infant makes no effort to sup
port himself. He insists on al
ways having hold Of some
body's hand, and if he has
nothing to cling to or lean
against, he lies down and gives
up. There are few energetic
prosperous men who are not
embarrassed with one or more
of these dead weights. The
best service that any man to
whom they attach themselves
can render them is to shake
them off, providing them, if
possible, with an opportunity
to exercise whatever ability,
whether OF the head or hand,
that they possess. There are
INDECENT irresolute men who
can be taught to stand alone,
but who is incapable of making
any effort by which success
may be achieved. He is a mere
"cumberer of the ground" and
without value in society.

Notwithstanding things
often involve great conse-
quences, as their direct result.
1t is a little matter whether
you drop an acorn into the soil,
a pebble, or the seed of a nex-
ious plant; but the results viii
be widely different. Soa care
less word dropped In the ear of
a child may turn the current of
his life. Words are things yet
often most potent. GLOW
forcible are right Words But
you may utter words which
sink deep into the heart and
rankle there; and, finally, per-
haps, bring forth a harvest of
crime.
1t is a little thing to stand
upon the levee which holds
back the full stream from its
overflow, and make a place for
a few drops of water to trickle
across, but the result may be a
deluge OVERLOOKING the State.
So the beginnings of evil are
always small, but in the
end they may drown the soul.
The hardness of the heart,
which ends in the most aggra-
waited crimes, takes it's rise
from small beginnings. Little
things are often the piyots on
which the more important
events hinge. There seemed
little difference whether a man
built his house on a sandy vale
by the gurgling stream or on
the rock hard by; but when the
rain descended and the floods
came, and the winds blew and
beat on these houses, the diff
ference was vast. The one
stood AID the ether was washed
away. The difference was
small in the beginning, but it
is heaven-Wide in the end.
1t seems something quite inn
material whether we embrace
the present opportunity for
good or wait for another, but
how often we find too late, the
golden opportunity is lost, and
no place is left for repentance
though we seek it carefully
with tears.

The Beauty of Old Age,

/ often think each tottering form
That imps along in LIES decline,
Once bore a heart as young, as warm,
As fun of idle faults as mine
And each has had its dreams of Joy,
Its own unequalled, pure romaneei
Commencing when the blushing boy
First thrilled at lovely woman's glance,
And each could tell his tale of youth,
Would think its scenes of love evince,
More passion, more unearthly truth,
Than any tale before or since.
Yes! they could tell of tender lays
At midnight penned IN classic shades,
Of days more bright than modern days
And maids more fair than modern maids
Of whispers in a willing ear
Of kisses on blushing check,
Each kiss, each whisper far too dear
Our modern lips to give or speak,
Of passions too untimely crossed;
OF passions sighted or betrayed
OF kindred spirits early lost,
And buds that blossomed but to fade.
OF beaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow,
And forms that have all passed away,
ana lett them what We see them now.
And is it thus-is human love
So very light and frail thing7
And must youths brightest vision move
Forever on Times restless wing.
Must all the eyestiat still are bright,
And all the lips that talk of bliss,
And all the forms so fair to sight,
Hereafter only comes to this
Then what are Gil earth's treasures worth;
If we at length must lose them thus
If all we value most on earth
Ere long must fade away from us
