Blossoms and Fruit.

" We shall know them by their fruits" the
Savior said ion his wonderful Sermon on the
Mount And honcclorth this was to be the
test Of Christianity everywhere. Is it not a
just one Can there be any more reasonable
Judgment Of aught that was intended to be
useful, than that which is here implied ?
" Every good tree brngcth forth good
fruit; but O, the evil trees, how thickly they
are scattered about Out in our gardens we
have trees that look we'll are thrifty, luxuri-
ant even, in their growth. Every spring they
open wealth of blossoms, aud every sum-
mer or fall they are barren of an fruit We,
ourselves, are not unlike them We show a
wealth of blossoms in good intentions, pur-
pose. and promises but these seldom mature
into the rich, ripe fruit Of iulflments and
performances.
tree that blossoms and bears no fruit, is
as worthless as one that does neither. just
so with our lives; they may bloom very
beautiful with promises, and yet be as value
less as though never bud Of a promise had
bcautifed them. Blossoms are sweet, in
themselves, but far sweeter for that which is
hidden within. They are glad prophecies OF
the golden harvest. Good intentions rcsou-
tons, purposes and the like, are very pleas
ant things but pleasant only because they
contain promise If the promise fail, then
are they as chat before the wind
Let US be frank with ourselves, and ask
how many Of our blossoms become fruit 1t
will not do to trust that they may ripen in a
season far ahead There win be a harvest
time, by-and-by so much is certain 1t
may come sooner than we think 1t may find
us with never promise realized. And then,
" Every tree that bringeth not forth good
fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire ~
Is the answer sufficiently plain
The season Of the ingathering of grain and
other products should be an impressive SER
mon to us. 1t breathes Of fulflments on
every passing breeze. Through it the voice
Of the year is sweetly saying" In the seed
time gave you my promises behold how
they are redeemed" Let us listen to the
earnest lesson. Let US nurture the blossoms
of good with tender care, that the harvest OF
fruit prove bountiJ one.

Get Sleen Enough.

\ young man in business must acknowledge
one mathematical fact
lie knows by experience about how many
hours Of sleep he needs, to be as fresh one
day as ON the previous day. lie must ac-
knowledge the fact that he cannot sit up late
aud rise early aud get this amount of sleep.
There is a right mathematical obstacle to the
accomplishment Of such feat. If he needs
seven hours sleep-as many young men do
or eight hours, as more young men do-he
cannot get them between ! o'clock a. m. and
o'clock a. IN. If he insists on late hours,
he must neglect either his sleep at night or
his business in the morning
Nearly every young man has sufficient
mathematical acuteness at seven o'clock a. m.
TO appreciate the impossibility of taking one
from seven and leaving eight The question
is whether or not he appreciates this impos-
sbility in the evening when he is called upon
to decide between a "jolly good time" and
his bed.
One very frequent mistake is that lost
sleep can be made up" In the first place
whatever young man may intend to do, he
very seldom actually tries to make up" for
lost sleep. If he needs eight hours sleep
and gets but five, lac usually makes up the
lost three hours by sleeping about one hour
longer than usual the next night. Or perhaps
he depends on Sunday for balancing the
whole week, aud three hours extra sleep
- makes up" for ten hours lost. In the sec
ond place, one hour Of regular sleep is worth
/ for purposes Of recuperation, at least two
hours Of make up" slumber
! There IL nracticativ M such thing rs - mn.

have long been an observer as | am
sympathizing lover of boys. | like to see
them happy, cheerful and gleesome. | am
not willing that they should be cheated out
of their rghtiul heritage Of youth-indeed,
can hardly understand how u heightened,

who has not enjoyed fair share of the glad

of boys, | am equally apprehensiye lest pa
rents, who are not iorothoughtful, and who
have not habtuated themselves to close OBJ
seryaton upon this subject, permit their sons
indulgences which are almost certain to result
in their decentralization, if not total rum /;
and among the habits which | have observed
as tending most surely to ruin, know of
none more prominent than that of parents
permitting their sons to be in the street after
nightfall 1t is ruinous to their morals in al
most all instances. They acquire, under cover
of the night, an unhealthy and excited state
of mind, bad language and practices, criminal
sentiments, a lawless and riotous bearing; in-
deed, it is in the street, after nightlall, that
boys principally acquire the education of the
bad capacity for becoming dissoute, criminal
men, Parents should in this particular
adopt a most rigid, inAexible rule, that viii
never permit a son, under any circumstance
/ whatever, to 90 into the street after night
fall with view of engaging in out of door
sports or of meeting other boys for social o.

All, these little icc-cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strewn along our backward truck
How those little hands remind us,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns--but r0se---
For our reaping by-ond-hy,
Strange we never prize the music
Till the swect-vOiced bird has flown;
Strange that We should slight the yiolets
Till the lovely flowers are gone.
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one-hnli SO fair
As when wintFy's snowy pinions
Shake their white down in the air
Lips from which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed in such beauty
As adorns the mouth to-day,
And sweet words that freight oar memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come 10 us in sweeter accents,
Through the portals of the tomb
let as gather up the sunbcam-,
Lying all around our path
let Us keep the wheat and fuses.
Casting out the thoms and chuf
let Us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings Of to-day,
With patient hand removing
All the hriar- from our way.

Prescription In Business.

II appears from New Orleans papers that Capt
L. =. Lesthers of the General Quitman, discharged
from his boat all hands who did not belong to the
Democratic party; that public meeting was held
at Point Coupee applaudng his prescription of po-
ltical opponents the most patriotic thing in the
world, and that the New Orleans Times has the
meanness TO indorse it.
New, there are two sides to this business. The
majority OF Southern planters and merchants are
probably Democrats, but there are great many
who are not, and the Northern men are quite as
likely to be successful eneFprising, and 10 command
large business any others, TO say the least
Suppose every Northern man at the South should
withdraw all patronage from Democratic steam
boats, and invite others from the Ohio to come in
and do their business In the long rum the North
ern men are sure to control the great bulk Of the
business Of the South suppose they band together
to-day and swear that they will never do business
with a Democratic steamboat when they can help
h2
We need not say that we have always condemn
ed and do now most emphatic8lly condemn this
spirit of prescription. 1t is mean, unmanly, con-
temptible, at war with the first principles of free
government. The men who resort TO it show that
they have not the slightest conception of the free
dom of American citizen. To attempt to control q
against his convictions by prescription in bus
mess is hardly less villanOus and much moro mean
than 10 resort to force, and compel voters at the
point Of the bowiek knife and the muzze of the re-
volyer 70 sacrifice their opinions and convictions
Any party is dsgraced in whose behalf such efforts
are made and to the honor of the Republican party
be il said that il never stoops TO such meanness In
almost every State, before the and since, Dem
ocrais have resorted 70 prescription especially At
tho South. But men who feel the justice Of their
cause can afford TO rely upon arguments Louis
