Mothers.

Each mother is q historian. She writes
not the history of empires or emperors on pa
per, but she writes her own history ON the
impe.ishable mind of her child. That tablet
and that history will remain indelible when
time shall be no more. That history each
mother shall meet again, and read with eter-
nal Joy or unutterable grief in the comingages
of eternity. This thought should weigh on
the mind of every mother, and render her
deeply circumspect, and prayeriul and faith
full in her solemn work Of training up her
children for heaven and immortality. The
minds Of children are susceptible and easily
impressed. 4 word, look, frown, may
engraye an impression on the mind Of child
which no lapse Of time can cfface or wash out.
You walk along the seashore when the tide is
out, and you form characters or write words
or names in the smooth, white sand, which is
spread out so clear and beautiful at your feet,
according as your fancy may dictate; but the
returning tide shall in few hours wash out
and efface all you have written. Not so the
lines and characters of truth or error which
your conduct imprints on the mind Of your
child There you write impressions for the
everlasting good or i'll of your child, which
neither the floods nor the storms Of earth can
wash out, nor deaths cold finger erase, nor
the slow moving ages Of eternity obliterate.
How careful, then, should each mother be in
the treatment of her child How prayeriul,
and how serious, and how earnest to write
the eternal truths of God on his mind-those
truths which shall be his guide and teacher
when her voice shall be silent in death

There are few children who will not tell

faults as their own and secondly, that chill

Tho Rattle Of Life.

The battle of life, in ty far the greater
number of cases, must necessarily be fought
up hill and to win it, without Il struggle, is
perhaps to win it without honor If there
were no difficulties, there would be no success /;
if there were nothing to struggle for, there
would be nothing to be achieved Difficulties
may intimidate the weak but they act only
as a stimulus to a man of pluck and resolu-
ton. All experience of life, indeed, serves
to prove that the impediments thrown in the
way of human advancement may, for the most
part, be overcome by steady good conduct,
honest zeal, activity, perseverance, and de-
termined resolution to surmount difficulties,
and stand up manfully against misfortune.

"Lo!IAM WITH You ALwAY. "A mother,
one morning, gave her two little ones books
and toys to anuse them, while she went to
attend to some work in an upper room,
A halfhour passed quietly, and then tlmid
voice at the foot of the stairs called out;
Mamma, are you thereY
I" Yes, darling"
"All right, them and the child went back
to its play.
By-and-by the question was repeated
"Mamma, are you there ?"
Yes"
IAN right, them" and the little ones, reas-
sured of their mothers presence, again return
ed to their toys.
Thus we, Gods little ones, in doubt and
loneliness, look up and ask My Father, art
Thou there p and when there comes in answer
the assurance of His presence, our hearts are
quieted. Ala Grant.

A certain man. who is very rich now, was
very poor when he was boy, When asked
how he got his riches, he said "My father

finished, and never to spend my money until

in an hour. And after this was allowed to

Mischief Making.

Misunderstanding does not end with what
more properly deserves the name of SANDER
4 great deal, perhaps the larger part, is ac-
complished in the world by those who have
no deliberate intention Of slanderng their
neighbors and in this respect, fear it must
be admitted that women are the greatest Of
Tenders, and simply, believe, for this reason
that, generally speaking neither their
minds nor their time are sufficiently occupied.
He whose special business it is to find work
for idle hands will assuredly take good care
to provide thoughts for idle minds. Was ever
a highly educated and fully occupied woman
found among the ranks Of mischiel-makers, Of
this class at least A strong proof Of the
truth of the assertion that idlcness has much
to do with misunderstanding may be found in
fact which any one well acquainted with
clubs and mess-rooms will be able fully to
bear out-namely, that men with much unoc-
cupied time on their hands are not much be-
hind women in the quantity, and very much
before them in the quality, Of the scandal
they spread only-perhaps for the reason-
they are more cautious how and where they
repeat it.
The worst part Of this kind of mischief
making is that the stories are rarely entirely
unfounded. If they We're they would do in
finitely less harm. But there IL generally
certain proportion of truth in them, and it is
the Z" mixing of thing" which does the mis-
chief The fractional part of truth just forms
the solid foundation on which the snperstruc-
ture of falsehood contryes to stand steady.
