WITHOUT AN ENEMY IN THE World"
To say of a man that he has no ene-
mics is considered high praise; but sup
pose the remark to be true, what does it
prove? Merely that he is negatively ex.
emplary; that he is an amiable person
without any force of character. All men
who are positively and actively virtuous
have many foes. Negative goodness is
not proselyting quality, and therefore
Vice has no quarrel with it. On the 9th.
er hand, as it "thinks no evil" and is of
fair report, the energetic reformer accords
to it certain measure of respect, while
he regrets its ineficiency. Hence your
negative Christian may live and die "with.
Out an enemy in the world" Not so the
energetic aud determined opponent of
evil, who believes that whatever is wrong
ought 10 be crushed. He makes enemies
ut every step. for he j, essentially fight
my character. He is not content to stand
ON the defensive repelling temptation, but
assails wlckedness OH its own ground. IF
the negatively virtunus have lilo foes, nei.
ther are they likely to have any very
warm friends, for there is nothing about
them to elicit enthusiasm. For our own
part, we would rather have six staunch,
going friends aud fifty enemies,
than hurried ukcwarln friends and no
enemies at all.

83AHome..

= -
$ five were to tellfa number of our
friends that they don't know what home
is, they would grow somewhat indignant
perhaps use hard words. And yet it
may remarked that the number of
persons who know what genuine home
is, by experience. is surprisingly few. One
man in good circumstances will tell US
that he has fine house of his own, in
which hevery comfort and convenience are
provided. He has wife and children
there, also, and they give life to the place.
Very true. But does he prefer that home,
thus furnished and thus enlivened, to ev
cry other place in the world? Does he
sigh when the hour for leaving comes, and
smile when he is permitted to return +?
Does he not sit by the cheerful fire and
fondle the children, entering into all their
little disputes with curious interest ?
Does he take particular note of the bird
in the cage, and the cat near the fire If
not, he has no home, in the dearest sense
of that dearest of words. If his mind is
altogether absorbed in the dusty ways OF
business-if he hurries from the house in
the morning, and is 10th to return at night
If, while he is at home, he continues
to think of the journal and ledger, and
repulses the advance of the prattling chill
dren, he has no home; he only has place
where he lodges and takes mis- meals.
All! happy is he who knows and ap-
preciates the full bliss of home; whose
heart is warmed and humanized by its
cheerful influences, and who feels how su.
perior, in purity of pleasure, are all its en-
joyments to the turmoil delights Of out
door life. Thrice happy is such man.
He has discovered the only Paradise this
world can now afford. 1t is only such a
man who can have deep and sincere
pity for the unfortunate creatures who
are homeless. He regards them as being
cut off from the best influences Of the
earth, and exposed to the action Of the
darker waves of life. He feels keenly
for him who has no iireside-no dear ones
to welcome him with smiles and prattle
over the history ofsthe day-no tongue
to soothe when heavy. cares have troubled
the mind and rendered the heart sore
and the sympathy of such man is not
slow to overflow in acts of benevolence.
A good home is the source of the foun.
tain of charity in the heart.
Our advice to those who have no home,
suchsas we have described above, is to
get them as soon as possible. They nev-
Fer can be contented and substantial citi.
zens, nor thoroughly happy men, until
they follow this counsel. Get homes
Fill them with the. objects of love and en-.
Edearnent, and seek there for the pure de.
Tights which the world beside cannot af
ford. Y{&$

Old Age.

Men have right to old age. 1t is q
part of the allotment of life, and belongs
to every one. Men are defrauded if they
do not possess it. They get so much less
than the patrimony which God has pro.
vided:for them. Sometimes men are de.
priged of it by the sins of their parents,
or of their ancestors. This transmissive
law, by which children are punished for
the sins of their parents, is silent, is not
sonorous; and yet it is more august and
dreadful than Sinai when all in flames.
Many children come into life, and the
experienced eye pronounces it impossi-
bic for them to live many years. Par.
ents weep at the strange providence and
mysterious dealings of God, when there
is pether strangeness nor mystery init.
Thousands and thousands are born who
have right in life, whose hold upon it is
so brittle that the first wind shakes them,
and they fall like untimely figs. Some
are destroyed by accident, or in the dis.
charge of duties which call them to sac
ri6ce their life to the common veal. The
greatest number, however, are deprived
ofa good old age by their own ignorance,
or by their own misconduct. Those that
reach old age, often find that tits land
of sorrow. Such is the spectacle that we
witness in so many instances, that it is
not strange that one desires not to grow
old. One breads to see grey hairs in
poverty, in beggary, dependent upon a
charity which is inconstant as the tides.
One shrinks,f from old age when it is full
of pain, crippled, shrunk, helpless, hope
less and needless; and still more when
the reason wanes, and childhood" is the
gentle phrase with which we coyerup i'm
becility.
Now, old age was not designed to be
mournful, but beautiful. Old age is part
of scheme in life which is divine and
beautiful from beginning to end. 1t is
the climax Of symphony which is beau
tful in its inception, rolling on grandly,
and terminatingin beauty and pleasure. 1t
IS harmonious and admirable, according
to the scheme of nature. The charms of
infancy, the hope and spring of youth, the
vigor and fruittulness ofmature manhood,
the certainty and tranquil wisdom and
peace of old age--all these go to consti
tute true human life, with its beginning,
middle and end-a glorious epic.
The end of Summer is even more glo.
rious than the Summer itself: or than its
beginning in Spring. October is, beyond
all comparison, the crowning ofthe yes
and the Word of Inspiration saith, "The
hoary head is crown of glory if it be
fond in the way of righteousness" While
a sturdy old man, who has corrupted his
heart, and filled his life with vices, is
hideous spectacle, SO, on the other hand,
a pure heart, sweet nature, q generous
charitable soul, walking among the young
and among the busy, mildly manifesting
what are the fruits of true piety, is at
once blessing and encouragement. There
is nothing more beautiful than virtuous,
serene, happy old age; and such an old
age belongs to every individuals life, if
he only knows how to get it-how to
build it.

DowN ON BoYs.-A precocious young

ly name, because don't think boys ought
to have pretty names. Boys are squeal-
ing all the time. You don't have one
minutes peace while there is boy baby
in the house; but.a girl baby is good
thing to have in the house for it never
cries. Name him Yuba Dam; that's good
enough for boy. You must excuse me
for writing SO much about boys; the rea.
son write so much about boys is because
don't like boys. My love to ma, and
tell her | hope she will do better next
time"
1t is to be hoped that the young lady
will eventually become reconciled to boys.
She will, no doubt, appreciate them as
she advances in years. Such cases are
not uncommon.

A DIs1nEss1NG SCENE IN THEATRE
We find the following paragraph in the
New York San :: ssss-e a
A terrible scene occurred the other day
at the Paris Odeon. An actor on the
stage had to fire a pistol; some villain
must have put bullet into the pistol, and
the consequence was that when the shot
was fired, the bullet shattered the leg Of
ayoung ballet girl standing behind the
scene. The doctors who were sent fore de-
clared the leg must be amputated. This
drove the poor girl to despair. "Ohr'
she cried. sit is not the pain that am
afraid Of! But what is to become of me
and my mother 2'' All her colleagues
surrounded her, weeping and trying to
calm her, but her grief burst forth again
and again. Finally; the manager hasten
ed to her side, gave her g thousand franc
note and told her that he would give her
a benefit in the course of a few days.
This treasured her little. and her leg
was then amputated, while she convnlsive.
ly clutched the bank note. The actor
who hadSfired the. shotwas almost as dis
tracted as the poor ballet girl. He knelt
weeping beside her, and begged her to
forgive him. Such scene had never be-
fore been witnessed at the Odeon. The
Performance was at once interrupted, the
manager explaining to the audience what
had happened.

now from the scene of his debauch. He

family have err ,fed. Every nerve has
been,-- ..u-ro give him the choicest
education. Parents and sisters gloried
in his talents and looked forward to his

are less bright.
Enter now the family circle. Parents
surrounded by lovely daughters. With
in that circle reign peace, virtue and re-
fnement. The evening has been spent
in animated conversation and the sweet
interchange of affectionate endearment.
But there is one who used to, share all
this, who was the center of that circle.
Why is he not here? The hour of devo.
ton has come; they kneel before their
father and God. A voice that used to
mingle in their praise is wanting. An
hour rolls away-another hour has gone.
Why has all cheerfulress gone? Why

King William of Prussia is not lavish

answer, for no tripier in the world would
have given five cents for the old coat.

answered them, 81 believe will get about

took his pocket book from the night ia
