MoTHERs.-Each mother is histo.
rian. She writes not the history OF
Empires or of Nations, upon paper,
but writes her own history upon the
imperishable mind Of her child. That
history each mother shall meet again,
and read again with eternal Joy, or
unutterable grief, in the coming ages
OF eternity. This thought should
weigh upon the mind of every moth.
er, and render her deeply circumspect,
and prayerfdl, and faithful, in her sol.
emn work of training up her children
ior Heaven and Immortality. The
minds of children are very susceptible
and easily impressed. A word, look,
lrown, may engrave an impression
on the mind Of a child, which no lapse
OF time can efface or wash out. You
walk along the sea shore when the
tide is out and you form characters,
or write words, or names, in the white,
smooth sand, which is spread out SO
clear and beautiful at your feet &C.
eording as your fancy may dictate,
but the returning tide shall, in a few
hours, wash out and efface all You
nave written. Not so, the lines and
characters of truth or error, which
your conduct imprints on the mind of
your child. There you write impres.
sions, the everlasting good or i'll of
your child, which neither floods, nor
the storms of earth can wash out, nor
Deaths cold fingers erase, nor the
sioW' moving ages of Eternity oblite-
rate. How careful, then, should each
mother be in the treatment of her
child! How prayerful, and how seri.
Gus, and how earnest, to write the
Eternal Truth of God on his mind
those truths which shall be his guide
and teacher when her voice shall be
silent in death.

A moustaehe spoon is said to be
one oi the latest Yankee inventions
the object being to provide a spoon
py means Of which soup, medicine,
etc. may be carried TO the month

consists in movable cover so com.

also consists in the combination of a

TEN GuINEAs WORTH OF ADVICE
The following anecdote is told OF the
celebrated Henry Fielding: The son
of one Boaz dc Paba, a celebrated
Jew, was on the point of marrying n
Christian lady. His father made no
objection to the intended wife's rcli-
gion, but was greatly dissatisfied with
the match on account of her small
fortune; in consequence of which he
refused his consent. The son, who
was desperately in love, threatened
he would marry her without bis con-
sent, and the father, in his turn,
threatened that he would not give him
a shilling. The young Jew answered
that he would force him TO do it; and
that if he refused dividing his sub
stance with him, he would get himself
baptised to enjoy the benefit of the
English law, which (thcn) assigned to
a Jew child becoming Christian, the
half of the fathers property. Boaz,
confounded at this answer, went to
consult Fielding, to know if such a
law really existed. Fielding told him
that it did exist, and was in full force /;
but added, if he would give him ten
guineas he would put him in way
Of frustrating his sons hopes, 80 that
he should not be able 10 get a farth-
ing. Boaz instantly put down ten
guineas. Fielding, having pocketed
the money, told him that his only
remedy was to "turn Christian him
self"

Truth is one of the rarest gems.
Many a youth has been lost in So
ciety by allowing it to tarnish his
character, and foolishly throwing it
away.
Profanity is a mark of low breed

mands the most respect; an oath
never tremlles on his tongue. Read
the catalogue of crime. Inquire the
character of those who depart from
virtue. Without single exception
you will find them to be profane.
Think of this, and don't let vile

Honesty, frankness, generosity.

yours, my boys, and we shall not

clerks and apprentices, have their

Rive and Indian Bread.

Mrs. Eliza Prentice, of Dacota, sent
the following recipe to the American
Institute Farmers Club:
My method is, for a good thick loaf
one pint of rye flour to three pints of
Indian meal, one-half teacup (some say
one cup) of syrup. Or its amount in
brown sugar; scald with boiling water
be sure and stir in water enough to
thoroughly scald it; no salt; cover it ov-
er and let it stand until cool, then re
duce it with cold sweet milk until quite
thin, or enough so to pour into your
pan; bake all day; let it stand in the
oven all night, if convenient. If you
don't have a luscious loaf in the morning
then I am not the daughter of a New
England mother. This is the Rhode Is
land plan fifty years ago, that is minus
the molasses. The Massachusetts and
Connecticut people used to add yeast
when cool; butI much prefer the Ri ode
Island plan.
If your crust is too hard to eat, re-
move it and soak it in water, then add
to your next loaf; you will find it rich
er and superior to your first-after sec
ond or third loaf you will need no syrup
Another way that has been more recent
ly sought out, is two cups of meal and
one of flour, one-half cup of syrup, one
half teaspoonful of saleratus, and a lit
tie salt; pour in two quart basin,well
buttered; steam two hours and bake
one hour in hot oven; turn the dish
bottom siue up on a plate for half an
hour before eating. This is for small
family; you can enlarge it if you like
1t is easily prepared for dinner.
