"Lord bless and preserve that dear person

observant, that we may delight in each other

US may rejoice in Thee, having our portion
in the love and service of God forever

Homes are more often darkened by the
Continual recurrence of small faults than by
the actual presence of any decided vice
These evils are apparently of very dissimilar
magnitude; vet it is easier to grapple with
the one than the other. The eastern traveller
can combine his force and hunt down the
tiger that prowls upon his path but he can
scarcely escape the mosquitoes that infest
the air ne breathes, or the fees that swarm
the earth he treads. The drunkard has been
known to renounce his darling vice; the
slave to dress and extravaganza, her besets
ting sin, but the waspish temper, the irritat
ing tone, rude, dogmatic manners and the
hundred nameless negigences that spoil the
beauty of association, have rarely done other
than proceed tin the action of disgust and
gradual alienation has turned all the currents
OF affection from their course, leaving moth
ing hut a barren track, over which, ss,e mere
skeleton of the companionship stalks along.

YOUTHFUL ELoQUENCE.-The Sunday
School at McKendree Church was highly
entertained and delighted last Sabbath
morning, in a speech from Oscar p Hill,
one of the pupils. While his effort, we
are assured, was original with himself, in
range, felicity of expression and delivery,
1t would have done great credit TO one much
older in years and maturer in thought. IL
he will properly use his time and improve
the talents with which nature has 80 munif-
Gently endowed him, he cannot fail TO be Of
great value to any community in which his
lot may be cast, and to his country and
race. We trust such may be the result,
and that the brilliant promise Of his early
youth may be garnered in the honor and
usefulness Of ripened age.
