Moral Hints.

i ehall only oe ldie minute. min

been performed. A minute when res.
oluuons have been made that have chang
ed the current of life. minute in ,h al
space OF which tear reached The eye Of
the repenlsnt prodi. al.
DIscoSTEST.
A man OF Discontinued mind snd unr
goyernable ssons, can scarcely find a
situation where We will be happy. Give
him wealth, honor, luxury, ease, aud all
the comfort which earth can afford, sIill
his own irriisbIe spiril superinduced by
his own lack OF moral and mental cuI-
ture, will poison al.
Truth.
The heaviest feIler that ever weighed
down the limbs Of captive, is as the
web ollhe gosssmer, compared with The
pledge of man OF honor. The wall Of
stone, and The bar of iron may be broken,
but lis plIgb!ed word never.
SCANDAL.
Those who possess the least inherent
purity are the most apt to uajOce and wi.
ly others. The slanderer Judges after
the dictates Of his own malicious heart,
and thus impugns the actions, motives,
and feelings OF others.
KINDNESS.
Help others and you relieve yourself.
Go out and drive away the cloud from
that friends brow, md you will return
with light ter heart. A word may blight
the brightest hope; word may revive
the dying. a lrown msy crush gentle
hssr. The smile Of love. or forgiveness
may relieve from torture.
GRATITUDE.
Be careful 10 teach your children graft.
tude. Lead them to acknowledge every
favor that they receive, 10 speak often Of
their benefsclors, and TO ask blessings for
them. Accuslom them 10 treat with
marked attention their instructors, and
those who have aided them in the attain
menl of knowledge or piety. Gratitude
is one OF our first duties 10 God, and should
not be forgotten when due TO man.
TEMPER.
No trait Of character is more valuable
than the possession OF a good temper.
Home can never be made happy without 1t
1t is like flowers that spring up in our
pathway, reviving and cheering US. Kind
words and looks are the outward demon-
sratons patience and forbearance are
the senlineIs within. Study 10 acquire
and retain asweet temper. 1t is more
valuable than gold-iI capliVales more
than beauty, and TO The close Of life re-
tains its freshness and power.
MILDNEss.
BE always as mild as you can ; honey
attract, more flies than vinegar II you
err let il be on the side Of genlleness.
TIE human mind is so construed that II
resisls severity and yields to sollness.
SPARE MINUTES.
Spare minutes are the gold dust Of time.
or all the portions Of our life. spare mo-
menls are, or may be The most irul iul Of
evil. They are gaps through which temp.
tatons find the easiest access 10 our hearts.
Let them all be improved with care ;
