We lately saw an advertisement
headed as above. Itconveys to every
boy an impressive moral lesson.
"An honest, industrious boyp is al.

his services will be In demand; ht
will be spoken of In terms of high
commendation he will always have

of known worth, and established

Al honest, INDUSTRIOUS boy! jus,

Home, where father and mother,
brothers and sisters, have q unity of
interests, sympathy and affection,
becomes In mature life the most
sacred picture
THAT hangs on memories wall-.'
In after years when the destroying
angel has crossed the household
and silenced its familiar voices in
their death, when the hand Of chang
ing time lias torn down tho wood
bines that climb all above its portals
and its windows, and when its paths
echo only to the tread Of the strang-
er's feet; how often does remem-
brance lead us hack to its sacred pre-
cincts, and make us realize that the
home of childhood Is the brightest
spot, the fairest oasis on the desert of
life. It is during these moments Of
rctrospection that the religious In
struction of youth flows back upon
the soul. IL is that we kneel by the
side OF her
fk ~Whoee breast with gentle bliows
Rocked to rest our infant wos.a
and lisp over the prayers she taught
us. Poetry has encircled the name
Of sInotberu with haIos OF beauty,
but its language will never he ade-
quate to measure her influence. To
her the first years of our lives belong,
and it Is then III her power to plant
seed OF virtue that will bud and bios
som iii The soul when age haas pIowed
deep furrows In our pale cheeks.
The prayers Of q pious mother are q
priceless legacy. They are like the
dews.of heaven, which first ascend
from the earth to the skies, and then
d6cend again to bIess and revive the
unfolding plant. Infidellty may ar+
ray itself against the Bible, and its
clamors may be loud among the as
seInblies Of men, but Ii has not the
courage to 60 to the sanctuary Of >
religious home, and there listen 10
the earnest prayers Of d holy mother,
as she points her children y the
throne OF God.
