Judging.

Who has not been guilty Of
undue severity in impeaching
the motives and conduct of his
fellow men We do not mean
to command the morbid sensi.
bility which shrinks from an
honest expression of opinion,
and hesitates to maintain truth
and right for fear of hurting
ones feelings, and yet every
one needs to learn q lesson OF
charity on this subject. The
Incompatible prescription of
our urSaViourrespecting the beam
in our own eye and the mote in
the eye of our neighbor, can
not be too frequently studied.
No man, unless he were omnis-
cient, can be fully competent to
judge and pronounce perempto-
rily on the motives of others.
To judge his own heart and
condemn with unsparing sever
ity, he is competent, since he
can know more of himself than
he can of others. He violates
no low of charity when he ar
raigns himself traces his own
motives through all their wind
ings, and pronounces a stern
decision. He may be said to
be at home here he speaks of
that which he knows, and the
more he is accustomed to this
kind of self-inquisition, the less
harshly will he judge Of others.
Half the misery in the world
arises from uncharitableness
and censoriousness they are
daily interfering with our
friendly relations with others ;
and the only method to alIay
and prevent these evils, is to
adopt the profound and admir-
able ethics of Christianity,
which require us to be kindly
affectionate, pitiful and courte-
GUS, Judging no one harshly
and intemperately, seeking
rather to amend our own grave
defects, and putting the most
charitable construction on the
conduct of others.
This we would desire to apply
to ourselves as well as others.

The Rights of Woman.

The rights Of woman, what are they7
The right to labor, love and pray;
The right to weep with those that weep,
The right to wake when others sleep.
The right to dry the falling tear,
The right to quell the rising fear;
The right to smooth the brow of care,
And whisper comfort to despair.
The right to watch the parting breath,
70 sooth and cheer the bed of death;
The right, when earthly hopes all fail,
To point to that within the vail.
The right the wanderer to reclaim;
And win the lost from paths of shame
The right to comfort and to bless
The widow and the fatherless.
The right the little ones to guide
In simple faith to him who died;
With earnest love and gentle praise
To bless and cheer their youthful days.
The right the intellect to train,
And guide the soul to noble aim;
Teach it to rise above earths toys,
And wing its flight for heavenly joys.
The right to live for those we love;
The right to die that love to prove
The right to brighten earthly homes
With pleasant smiles and gentle tones.
Are these thy rights? Then use them well
Thy silent influence none can tell.
Ii these are thine, why ask for more
Thou hast enough to dRSWer for

WEAR A SlIILE.-Which will
you do, smile and make others
happy, or be Grabbed, and make
everybody around you miser-
able2 You can live among
beautiful flowers and singing
birds, or in the mire surrounded
by fogs and frogs. The amount
OF happiness which you can
produce is incurable, if you will
show a smiling face, a kind
heart, and speak pleasant words.
On the other hand, by sour
looks, cross words, and a fretful
disposition, you can make hum
dreds unhappy almost beyond
endurance. Which viii you
do? Wear pleasant counte-
nance, let joy beam in your eye
and love glow on your forehead.
There is joy SO great as that
which springs from a kind act
or pleasant deed, and you may
feel it at night when you rest,
and at morning when you rise,
and through the day when
about your daily business.

LIFE TOO SHORT FOR STRIFE.
Charles Dickens relates the fol-
lowing of Douglas Jerrold:
"Of his generosity L had a
proof within these two or three
years, which it saddens me to
think of now. There had been
an arrangement between us
not on any personal subject,
and not involving angry words
a good many months had
passed without my ever seeing
him in the street, when it fell
out that we dined, each with
his own seperate party, in the
Strangers Room of the Club.
Our chairs were almost back to
back, and | took mine after he
was seated and at dinner, U
am sorry to remember) and did
not lock that way. Before we
had sat long, he openly wheel
ed his chair round, stretched
out both hands in an engaging
manner, and said aloud, with a
bright and loving face, that /
can see as | write to you: "Let
us be friends again. A life is
not long enough for this!" Jer-
rold was not a Christian, but
his conduct in this case was
worthy of the Christian charac-
ter. On a dying bed, how in
significant viii appear many
things about which we contend
in bitterness and wrath Life
isso short, its inevitable sorrows
SO many, its responsibilities so
vast and solemn, that there is,
indeed, no time to spare in
bruising and mangling one
Let not the sun 90
down on your wrath. Never
close your eyes to sleep with a
heart angry towards your broth
er and fellow sufferer. See him
and be reconciled to him ifyou
can. If you cannot see him
write to him. If he is a true
man and a Christian, he will
listen. If he is not you win
have done right, and your soul
will be bright with the sunshine
of Heaven" /"

Work and Fee.

" 10 puySlCttIly lllipOSSlDle IOI
a well educated, intellectual, or
brave man to make money the
chief object of his thoughts; as
physically impossible as it is for
him to make his dinner the
principal object of them. All
health people like their dinners,
but their dinner is not the main
object of their lives. So all
healthy minded people like
making money-ought to like
it, and to enjoy the sensation of
winning it; but the main oh
Iject of their life is not money
it is something better than
money. A good soldier, for in
stance, mainly wishes to do his
fighting well. He is glad of his
pay-very properly SO, and
justly grumbles when you keep
him ten years without it-still,
his main notion of life is to win
battles, not to be paid for win
ming them. So of clergymen.
They like pew rents and bap-
tismal fees, of course; but yet,
if they are brave and well edu-
Gated, the pew rent is not the
sole object of their lives, and the
baptismal fee is not the sole
purpose of the baptism; the
clergyman's Objects essentially
to baptize and preach, not to be
paid for preaching. So of doc
tors. They like fees, no doubt
Ought to like them; yet if
they are brave and well educa-
ted, the entire object of their
lives is not fees. They on the
whole desire to cure the sick !;
and if they are good doctors,
and the choice were fairly put
to them-would rather cure
theirpatient and lose their fee,
than kill him and get it. And
SO with all other brave and
rightly trained men; their work
is first, their fee second-yery
important always, but still Sc
cond. But in every nation, as
| said, there is a vast class who
are ill-educated, coWardly and
more or less stupid. And with
these people just as certainly
the fee is first and the work
second, as with brave people
the work is first and the fee is
second. And this is no small
distinction. 1t is the whole
distinction in a man; distinc-
ton between life and death in
him, between heaven and hell
for him. You cannot serve two
masters-you must serve one
or the other. If your work is
first with you, and your fee
second, work is your master,
and the lord of work, who is
God. But if your fee is first
with you and your work second,
fee is your master, and the lord
of fee, who is the devil and
not only the devil, but the low
est of devils-the '1east erected
fiend that fell" So there you
have it in brief terms /; work
first-you are Gods servants i
fee first-you are the fiend's.
And it makes a difference, now
and ever, believe me, whether
you serve Him who has on His
vesture and thigh written,
"King of King and whose

Gen Lee said to my father,
when he was sounded by him,
at the request of President Lin
coin, about taking command of
our army against the rebellion,
then hanging upon the decision
OF the Virginia Convention,
!" DIR. Blair, | look upon seces-
sion as anarchy. If I owned
the four millions of slaves in
the South, | would sacrifice
them all to the Union but how
can | draw my sword upon Vir-
ginia, my native State 7" He
could not determine then said
he would consult with his friend,
Gen. Scott, and went on the
same day to Richmond, proba-
bly, to arbitrate difficulties; and
we see the result. 1t is hard
Tor a noble mind to tear itself
from home, kindred, friends,
and native soil, and go intoop
posite ranks to crush them all.
This was the case of Stephens
as wen as Lee Montgomery
Blair. @

u Seneca, speaking of the
Roman empire, said: T" What
would our empire have been
to-day had not the conquered
been permitted to mingle with
the conquerors, as the result OF
a salutary policy7 Romulus,
our founder, showed wisdom in
pursuing this policy to such an
extent that he made citizens of
his enemies the same day that
he conquered Them"
A dogma is defined as an
opinion Laid down with a snarl.
