Spring.

"For 10, the winter is past, the rain is
gone; the flowers appear on the earth |;
the time for the singing of birds is come,
and the voice of the turtle is heard in
the land" ---Solomon's Song.
Such are the emblems and heralds of
the incoming reign of Spring; such the
aspect of beauty which smiling nature
wears, when He, who has promised that
"while the earth remaineth seed time and
harvest, and cold and heat, and summer
and winter, and day and night shall not
cease" When He shall have wrested
the sceptre of dominion from the relent.
less grasp of tyrant Winter, whose iron
sway "the ravaged fields, waste, cloud
less and bleak, in icy letters bound, and
in his stead the smiling Spring---the seed
time of the year enthrones, whose magic
spell dissolves the bonds which nature
captive held, awakes her from the indo-
lence of long repose and quickens her
with all the energies of renovated life.
Then:
"From the moist meadow of the wither d hill
Led by the breeze, the vivid verdure runs,
And swells, and deepens; to the CHERISHED eye
The hawthorn whitens; and the juicy groves
Put forth their buds, unfolding by degrees,
Till the whole leafy forest stands display'd
In full luxuriance to the signing galesl"

The Time For Fishing.
BY F. R. GoULDING, AUTHOR OF "THE
YOUNG MARooNERs," ETC.

Boy reader, are you fond Of fishing ?
Then, you are the boy for me; for when
1 was of your age, forty-fve years ago,
1 was fond of it too. The truth is,
l am fond of it yet and I guess, though
l am not bit of Yankee, that, if you
and I were out together with hook and
line, 1 should catch as big and as nice a
string of fish as any of you.
Do you wish to learn from an old an
gler's experience how to fish successfully =?
Then you must learn to know the right
time for fishing, the bait suitable to the
fish to be caught, and the mode of using
that bait to advantage.
By the time this article meets your
eyes the winter will have shown signs of
breaking, and no doubt some of you have
already been thinking of your fishing
tackle. But don't 60 out too soon; It's
no use; fish will not bite before their
time. Wait until the dogwood blossoms
have begun to laugh and show their white
teeth with joy at the approach of warm
weather; or what is another sign equally
good, wait until you hear at night, from
the ponds and low grounds, the merry
concert of frogs, singing, "Fry bacon !
Tea table I'm glad it's coming Amt
you? Blood-an-ouns!"
This rule, about the time of the year
for fishing, will hold good whether you
live in Maryland or in Texas, in the
mountains or the seaboard; because the
fishing season never begins until the
weather is warm enough for the frogs to
sing, and the dogwoods to bloom. Re.
member / say "fshing season" for there
are waters in which fish may be caught at
any time of the year when you can OBJ
tain the proper bait.
And now, supposing that the season
has set in, never think of going out to
fish. if the wind blOaOs hard. Somehow
fish don't like windy weather.
If tile wind as from the east, whether it
be much or little, you as we'll let your
hooks and lines rest. An old time
ryhming rule worth your remembering is
in the words:
"Wind from the east, fish bite least.
Wind from the west, fish bite best.
Wind from the south, bait in fishes mouth"
By which last line, suppose, is meant
that the fish will nibble and let 60 with
out taking the bait far enough in their
throats to admit of being hooked. The
rhyme for "Wind from the north," has
never met either my eye or ear, though
Did Izaak Walton gives all the others.
Loud laundering, or the heavy patter-
ne of rain upon the water, will usually
make fresh water fish hasten to the shell
;er of some deep hole or dark recess
That the boys upon the banks should
eek shelter from rain and thunder is
natural enough; but why should fish?
ire they afraid of getting soet9 And yet
,ftentimes the boy on shore will stand
he rain longer than the fish in the water.
AS a general rule you cannot expect
o have much luck in fishing if the water
s gerry high from any cause whatever,
whether from tides at sea, from rain, or

gion early upon his mind, by personal
explanation and systematic instruction.
As the intellect expands, its sacred truths
will be comprehended and felt, and its
motives and principles be strengthened
and confirmed by practice and habit,
An essential part of the education OF
youth is to teach them to serve them
selves, and to impress upon them the
fact that nothing good can be acquired
in this world without labor; and that the
very necessaries and comforts of life
must be procured by earnest and regular
exertion. They should also be taught to
know that, after having been reared and
educated by their parents, they should
not expect them to provide further for
them, and that their future subsistence
and advancement must depend upon
themselves. Parents sometimes commit
the mistake of allowing their children,
after having reached the period of life
when they ought to be engaged in max
ing livelihood, rely upon them for sup
port. This encourages them in injurious
idIeness and destroys their spirit of self
dependence which is necessary for their
advancement in life, aad causes them to
appear so unreasonable as to depend upon
them after having arrived at an when
they should think and act for themselves.
The choice of profession is not OF
so much consequence as the manner in
which it is pursued. If habits of self
control and self-denial have been &C
quired during the season of education,
the great object has been accomplished.
Diligence and integrity in any useful
pursuit of life will be sure to secure pros,
perity and fame, and success will result
from engaging in that business in which
the generality of mankind are interested
Such being the correct view of educa-
ton, the support and cooperation which
faithful teachers should receive from pa.
rents can be easily inferred by the good
sense of each one. We only ask espe,
cial attention, concluding, to the follow
ing suggestions, which our experience
has shown to be of prime Importance:
/. The parent, after committing his
child to the teaching of another, should
continue to manifest an affectionate IN
terest in his improvement, by constant
inquiry and encouragement.
2. The supplying of young persons
while absent from their homes, with need
less money, and the permission to con
tract debts, are to be reprobated, as
tempting to sinful prodigality and mul
tiplying the dangers of contracting the
habits of vice.
3. The proper authority of teachers
must be firmly sustained by parents.
4. Every young person should be in
formed by his parents that he must give
diligence to profit by his studies, or else
must be compelled to make himself usefu
to society by actual labor in some hum
bier sphere.
And last, and unworthy parent canno
reasonably expect the teacher, agains
the current of his wrong example, to form
his son into worthy man.

shown by there having been from the be-

from the breaking of dam in an upland
stream. Fish are timid creatures and all
connections disturb them.
And now having described so fully the
times unfavorable for fishing, it is but
fair that some description be given of the
right time.
If you can hit upon a day when the
weather is comfortably warm, or comfor-
tablv cool, according to the season, and
when light wind from the west brings
a succession of small clouds to veil, ev-
cry once in while, the bright face of
the sun, or to draw thin veil of cloud
over the whole sky, particularly if you
can obtain such day soon after q rain
which has slightly raised and slightly
muddied the waters in which you are to
fish, you may expect good sport; and if
the water be good for fishing, and your
bait, and tackle, and skill correspond,
you ought to bring home nice basket Of
fish.
The kind of day best suited to the
sport has been SO prettily described in
rhyme (by Dame Heubert, some say,
though Sir Humphrey Davy, in his Sal.
monia, says it is by Cotton that it is
worth recording and remembering:
GA day with not too bright beam,
A warm but not scorching sun,
A gentle breeze to curl the stream,
And, masters, half our work is done.
But, after all that may be said, the
only true test pf the time to fish, is the
actual expasiSk nt. For every fisherman
knows thai hay go out one day and
do well; and may go the next day, tc
the same place, and under the same ap
parent circumstances, and scarcely get ,
bite. This will be, not because the fish
have been all caught, or scared away, fol
he will sometimes be able to see then
lazily lolling about, shaking his bait as
if in play, or else turning up their shin
ing sides and looking at him, as if laugh
ing at his disappointment. There seems
to be something in the water, or the all
something beyond our perception
whether electrical or what not-that af
fects their appetite. So that although
we can oftentimes know from the stat,
of the weather, the water, or the wind
that the fish will not bite, no one can say
that they wiH, until he has made the &C
tual experiment. ---Southern Boys ant

The London Workingmen in Conference
with the Clergy.

with the Clergy.
On the 21st of January conference
of these parties was held in the London
coffee House. Three hundred persons
were present, including representative
men from the different trades, and poIti-
cal leaders of the workingmen, with such
men as Thomas Hughes, and Arthur
Kinnaird, members of Parliament; Mr..
Peter Bayne, Dean Stanley, Rev. New
man Hall, Rev. F. D. Maurice, Rev.
Mr.. Binney, Rev. Drs. Raleigh and Ed
mond, Canon Miller, and others. For
seven hours free and friendly confer
ence between these parties was kept up,
with view to reach some of the causes
which hinder workingmen from attend
ance upon Christian worship. About
twenty genuine workingmen spoke, in
GLIDING a cabinet-maker, three engineers,
tailor, a plasterer, porter, a carpenter,
and so on.
The great complaint urged, was want
of sympathy between the clergy and the
workingmen. Other reasons assigned
were the strong objections of the work.
ingmen to the Established Church; the
usurpation andinjustice involved in State
support; the ormous wealth enjoyed by
some of thu elates while their curates
were starving and the gross corruption
practiced in the assignment of livings.
Others, again, charged on the clergy in
difference or opposition to the temperance
reformation, so essential to the comfort
and purity of the workingmen, or com
planned of the absence of discipline and
prevalence of grievous inconsistencies
among Church members; some excused
the over-worked poor for their non-atten-
dance at Church on the ground that they
required the Sabbath as day of rest and
recreation.
Rev. Newman Hall and Rev. DR.. Mil
Ter responded very fully to the objec-
tons; but the most notable and encour-
aging feature of the meeting was the
stand taken by the political leaders, Mr..
Edmond Beales and Mr.. George Potter.
Mr.. Potter made the most practical
suggestion brought out by the meeting;
"that the ministers in the Es-
tablished Church and the Nonconformist
chapels name a Sunday evening during
the next month, and let it go through the
metropolis that to the workingmen alone
a sermon would be preached. Let it be
called the workingman's sermon, and the
workingmen would come and hear" Mr..
Potter's concluding words are full of
Christian wisdom and put the
whole question of reform in its true
evangelical aspect.
"Whatever might be the cause for the
alienation which they had met to consid-
err, as one faithful to himself and to his
class, he must say, 'Workingmen, the
truth isproclaimed, the Gospelispreached, |

and no excuse can free you from the res
possibility of attending to it, zap

for their social and political elevation,
his hearts desire for them was that they
should 90 more to places of worship, and
should think more of the Gospel which
taught them that they had soul to save,
and that whatever might be done for
them pecuniarily, morally, politically,
and socially, was utterly useless unless
they laid hold of salvation and eternal
life" Loud applause.)

Of our Fathers in 1861, we have toied through
the weary years of the war, and the sad period
which succeeded its termination In efforts to re-
build the broken walls of our Zion. The pecu'

pressing duties of those gloomy years, which 1t
is needless now to recount The claims of our
desolated Missionary fields, the education OF
young men for the Ministry, and the publication
of suitable religious literature for our people,
have so occupied the attention of our Church
Judicatories for the last two years, that nothing
has been done towards making provision for the
families of our deceased ministers; indeed, at
the late meeting of our General Assembly, the
subject was entirely overlooked or passed by.
In that rich and powerful Church, the Old School
Presbyterian of the North, which we left in
1861, the annual receipts of the Widows and
Orphans Fund is TtcentyJfre Thousand Dollars,
and it is amply sufficient to afford liberal an
nuity to the family of every deceased minister Of
that Church. From all participation in that
Fund our Church, by the secession of 1861, is
entirely cut off. In this exigency what means
can be found more ready and certain to provide
for the families of your deceased pastors, than
