They tell a story, that one day Rabbi
Jatlah and his brethren sat in the court
on 3 fast day disputing about rest. One
said il was to have attained sufficient
wealth without sin. The second said il
was fame and praise of all men. The
third said il was possession Of power to
rule the state. The fourth hat it must
be only in the old age of one who is
rich, powerful, famous, and surrounded
by children and ehildren's children. The
fifth said all were in vain unless q man
keep the ritual of Moses. And Rabbi
Judah, the venerable, the tailest of
brothers, said aye have spoken wisely,
but one thing more is necessary. He
only can find rest who to all things adj
deth this-that he keep the traditions of
the elders.n There sat a fair haired
boy playing with lilies in his lap, and
hearing the talk, dropped them in aston
ishment from his hands, and looked up,
that boy of twelve-and said, NAY,
nay, fathers, he can only find rest who
loves his brother as himself, and God
with his whole heart and soul. He is
greater than fame, wealth and power :;
happier than a happy home without it
better than honored age he is law to
himself, above all tradition.'

Furniture too good to be used Is q nui-
sanee What can be more unpleasant
than. the aspect Of a room, or suit of
rooms, where everything is ba2ged up +?
Chairs and sofas in pinafores, mirrors in
mnslins, a druggeted carpet, a hearth
rug wrong side out, md a chandelier in
a sack, seen by rays of light that strug-
gle in edgeways through the Sits in the
shutters, and exhaling that peculiar
brown Holland fragrance which belongs
to drawingrooms in masquerade dress,
form n of the most cherries, dispirit-
ing, inhuman-like spectacles in the do
anu of human life. We would as lief
be ushered into q vault as into such
an apartment. Why do people buy
magnificent furniture to clothe it
in hideous DISCUSSES ? Does the glory
of exhibiting the article undressed half q
dozen evenings in the year pay for the
cost and trouble? The miser enjoys the
flashing lustre of his gold every time he
lefts the lid of his strong box, but what
pleasure can there be in possessing 6
species of property that is invisible to the
owner three hundred and fifty days out
of every three hundred and sixty-fve
days. Give us furniture that is made
for wear, tables upon which you can
bring down your fist with an emphasis
without throwing the lady of the house
into Observation-Disclosures that you can lean
back in in q word, give US comfort, and
let us wear. things out. 1t is provoking
to see chairs and sofas preserved for
years without spot or blemish, while the
wrinkles are multiplying in the face and
the gray hairs on the head of the pro-
pFiet0r.

81 AAsEGs
True to yourselves, trne to each other,
true to God, What more abhorrent vice
ths.n deception? The face covered with
smiles and the heart rotten as a sepul~
tchre. Tie band first binding your eyes.
ami then leading you to the brink Of the
prteipice. The tongue beguiling your
face with the honeyed words, and
shipping its arrows to launch at your
bask.
Oh that inestimable jewel of truth,
truth in the tongue, in the life, in every
manifestation OF the reason-she loves
the passions Of humanity.
Terrible to the young heart Is the first
deception. She who looked all purity,
all angelic goodness, betrayed her trust,
aud left the sOulsdesolate. Heaven only
knows through what depths Of darkness
the bruised spirit struggled to light and
joy again. But the light has never been
as pleasant, the JOY rekindled burns not
like the bright fires Of long ago. The
tears, the sleepless nights, the hours OF
keen dispair, when a hand seemed even
on your throat, and 8 dagger at your
heart-for what would you live them
over2 Death would be more welcome.
We could bear with pe~tulance, smile
at ~unkindness, the assaults of harsh
temper, or the moody silence of u frown-
ing brow; but treachery, faithlessness,
! trust betrayed-thank God that we have
never yet known the full import of these
terrible words
BE true, then, II you would be re-
spected. No power on earth can change
! the fiat that even the world gives the de-
ceiver. He may weep tears of blood, but
the monuments Of his shame still stand
to testify against him. Once a liar,
always a liar. a very child can tell
| where deception eonceals itself, and q
casual thought, lightly expressed, ferrets
il from its foul hiding place.
Be true if you would be loved. The
heart is like an aTmory; beautiful and
harmless seem the long lows of bristling
| steel, but every one of those polished
shafts may be used as an instrument Of
torture. So il you deceive, the heart
tha&eats warmest for your love, your
appreciation, may be converted into a
gallery of deadly weapons, and you will
be responsible for the mischief that re-
| suits through life's long battle. Let
truth be as near to yo1 as the apple Of
your eve; and when the blush springs
not to your cheek, and your tongue fall
tiers not even at the unuttered thought
of deception, then be sure you are neither
fit for earth or heaven, for the society Of
men or angels.

A heaven OF hell abandoned and forlOTn.
