CHRISTMAS BELLS.

| heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild ana sweet,
The words repeat
OF peace Oh earth, good will to men
And thought how, as the day bad come,
The belfres of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The uuUroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
\ voice, a chime,
chant sublime,
OF peace on earth, good will to men
Then from each black, aecursed mouth,
The cannon thundered loud and deep,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good will to men
1t was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth. stones of Il continent,
And made torlorn
The households, born
OF peace on earth, good will to men
And in despair bowed my head
" There is no peace on earth, " said;
For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Then peaied the bells more loud and deep
" God rs not dead; nor doth he sleep
The wrong shall fail,
The right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men J.

HOME WITHOUT MuTHER.-What is
home without a mothers presence? 'Tis
like book to read without the aid of light
like the face of nature without the suns
bright and soothing rays-like winter, with
out beautiful, cheering summer-like mar
iner cast upon the mighty deep without a
rudder or compass to guide his frail bark
safe into port-lke piercing winter unclaim-
ed by the cheering rays of spring. D, there
is an nexhaustible source of pleasure and
profit in that home wherein a tender mother
dReIls, from whom may be derived the wis
est maxmS and rules of blisstul life. ln
such home may be found the obedieut
child, the dutiful daughter, and the tender
and affectonate SON. There also may be
seen every virtue tina: can dignity human
nature, and make this transient life most
happy. In word here may be acquired
the beauties and knowledge of the world,
without the danger of being infected by its
bad example abroad.

MAN AND WoMAN-The following beau
tiful passage is from Henry's Commentary
on the Bible Adam was first formed.
then Eve, aud she was made from man, and
for the man, all of which are urged as reasons
for humility, modesty, silence and Submis-
siveness, of that sex in general, and partcu
larly the subjection and reverence which
wives owe to their husbands. Yet man be-
ing made last of creation, as the best and
most excellant of all, Ewes being made after
Adam, out of him, puts an honor upoa that
sex, as the glory of man. If man is the head
she is the crown; crown to her husband,
the crown of visible creation. The pan was
dust refined, but the woman was dou6ly re-
fined, one remove from the earth. Woman
was made of rib out of the side Of Adam !;
not made out of his head, to top bin; nUr
Of his feet, to be trampled upon BY him; but
out of his side, to be equal with him under
his arm, to be protected; and near his heart,
to be loved

MENTAL CoNTROL.-When we turn our
serious attention to the eronnmy Of the
mind, We perceive that it is capable of var
iety Of processes Of the most remarkable and
most important nature. We find also that
we can exert voluntary power over these
processes, by which we control, direct and
regulate them at our will and when we do
not exert this power, the mind is left to the
influence of external impression, or casual
trains of association, often Improbable and
often frivolous. We thus discover that the
mind is the subject of culture which, when
duly exercised, must produce the Most im-
portant results on our condition as rational
and moral beings; and that the exerrise of
them involves a responsibility of The most
solemn kind, which DO man can possibly put
away from him.

VIRTUES OF THE WICKED.

DREAM OF A QUAKER LADY.-Therc is
beautiful story OF pious old Quaker lady
who was addicted to smoking tobacco She
INDUCED in this habit until it had increased
so much upon her, that she not only smoked
her pipe a large portion of the day, but rre>
quently sat up in her bed for this purpose in
the night After one of these nocturnal en-.
tertainments she fell asleep, and dreamed
that she died, and approached heaven. Meet.
ing an angel, she asked him if her name was
written in the book of life lie disappeared,
but replied upon returning that he could not
fnd it. '0h, she said, do look again 4
must be there. He examined again but re-
turned with sorrowfu face, saying, 1t is
not there 'Oh, said she, in agony. 'it
must be there; | have the assurance it is
there Do look again. The angel was moved
to tears by her entreaties, and again left her
to renew his search. After long absence
he came back bis face radient with Joy and
exclaimed, I'VE have found ii, but it was so
clouded with tobacco smoke we could hardly
see it = The woman, upon waking, imme-
diately threw her pipe away aud never in
dulged 10 smoking again.
