A WORD FOR BOYS.

Truth is one of the rarest gems
Manya youth has been lost to society
by allowing 1t to tarnish, and foolishly
throwing it away. If this gem still
shines in yottr bosom, suffer nothing to
displace OF dim its lustre.
Profanity is a mark of low breeding.
Show lis the nian who commands the
best respect an oath never trembles on
his tongue! Read the catalogue of
crime. Inquire the character of those
who depart from virtue. Without a
single exception, you will find them Co
be profane. Think of this, and not let
avile word disgrace you.
Honesty, frankness, generosity, vir-
tue-blessed traits? Be those yours,
my boys, and we shall not fear. You
will claim the respect and love of all
You are Watched by your elders. Men
are looking for clerks and apprentices,
they have their eyes on you. If you
are profane, vulgar, theatregoing, they
will not choose you. If you are upright
steady and industrious, before long you
will have good places, kind masters, and
the prospect of a useful life before you.
fUo 1t is a shame for rich Christian
to be like a Christmas box, that re-
cel9es all, and dnothing can be got out
Until it be br8kcti i'll pieces.

GENUINE AFFECTION.

How much more we might make of
our family life, of our friendship, if eve
ry secret thought of love blossomed in
to deed We are now speaking
merely of personal caresses of affection.
Many are endowed with delicacy, or
fastidiousness of physical organization,
which shrinks away from too much OF
these, repelled. But there are words
and looks and little observances,
tboughtfulness, watchful little atten-
tions, which speak of love, which make
it manifest and there is scarcely flmi-
that might not be rlcher IN Eeart wealth
for more of them.
1t isa mistake to suppose that rela-
tions must of covrse love each other be-
cause they are relations, Love must
l1e cultivated, ard can be increased by
ludicious culture, as wild fruits may
double their bearing under the hand of
a gardner, and love can dwindle and
die, out of neglect, as choice flower
seeds planted in poor soil dwiudle and
grow single. Two cases in our Anglo
Saxon nature prevent this easy faculty
and flow of expression which strike 50
pleasantly in the italian and French
lite-the dread of fluttery and constitu-
tional shyness. l perfectly longed to
tell so and so how tsI admired her the
other day" said Mrs. X.
"Then why in the world didn't you
tell her?.'
"Oh, it would seem like flattery, you
know!n
Now what is fiattery? Flattery is
insincere praise, given from interested
motive, but not the sincere utterance
of a friend of what we deem good and
lovely. And so fear of iiattering, these
dreadfully sincere people go OH, side by
side, with those they love and admire,
giving them all the time the impression
of utter difference.
Parents are SO afraid of exciting pride
and vanity in their children by the ex-
preston of their love and appreciation,
that child sometimes goes sad and dis
couraged by their side, and learns with
surprise, i'll some chance way, that they
are proud and fond of him. There are
times when an open expression of a
fathers love would be worth more than
a church or sermon would be worth to a
boy, and his father cannot utter twill
not show it.
The other things that repress the ut
terances of love, is the characteristic
shyness of the Abglo Saxon blood
Oddly enough race born of two DEM
onstrative, outspoken persons--the Ger
mans and the Frencll-has a habltual
reserve tnat is like neither. There is a
powerlessness OF utterance in our blood
that we should fight against, and strug-
gle for outward expression.
We can educate ourselves to it, if we
know and feel the. nesessity we can
make it a christian duty, motto love,
but be loving not only to be true
friends but to show our selves friendly.
We can make ourselves say the kind
things that rise in our hearts and trem-
BILE back on our lips; do the gentle and
hopeful deeds which we hope to do
and shrink back from and little by lit
tie it will grow easier, the love spoken
will bring back the answer oflove +; the
kind deed in return-till the hearts of
the family circle, instead OF being SO
many frozen, icy islands, shall be full
of warm airs and eehoing bird voices,
answering back and forth witha con-
slant melody of love

THE DOOMED MAN.

"Ephraim is Joined to his idols, let htl
at0ne.'-HoSEA.
There is a time, we know not when,
A point we know not where,
That marks the destiny of meh
To glory or despair.
There is line, by us unseen,
That crosses every path;
The hidden boundary, between
Gods PATIENCE and his wrath.
To pass that little limit is to die,
To die rs If by stealth;
1t does not quench the beaming eye,
Nor pale the glow of health.
The conscience may be still at case,
The spirits light and gay;
That which is pleasant still may please,
And care be thrust away.
But on that foreheard God has set
Indelibly q mark,
Unseen by man, for man, as yet
Is blind and in the dark
And yet the doomed mans path below,
Like Eden may have bloomed,
He did not, does not, will not know,
Nor feel that he is doomed.
He knows he feels that all is well,
And every fear is calmed;
He lives. he dies, he wakes in hell,
Not only doomed but damned.
o where, is this mysterious bourne,
BY which our path is crossed;
Beyond which God himself hath sworn

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Perseverance is the bridge by which
difficulty is overcome.
Use book as bee does flower.
Economy is the household mint.
Wit is the lightning of the mind.
How much pain the evils have cost us
that never happened.
Never open the door to little vice,
lest great one should enter.
Never quit certainty for hope.
The mill cannot grind with the water
that is past.
A liar should have good memory.
Past services should never be forgot
ton.
Man doubles his evils by brooding ov-
Ell them.
III nature seeks poison from the
sweetest bower.
Good-nature collects honey frcm the
poorest herb.
Gold Is the dust that blinds all eyes.
Music is soul embodied in sound.
Willows are weak, yet they bind otL-
er wood.
Little deeds, like little seeds, grow
to flowers or to weeds.

Miss Sawyer lives in the city of Rockland, Knox

her life to nursing the sick, and has had more ex-
perence in the of obstinate diseases old Sores

cases Of as Burns Scalds and Bruises
than any other person in New England. professional
OF otherwise. She has competed successfully with
the most able physicians in the States, as well as
with nurses and Indian doctors. From time 10
time she has compounded remedies for the use in
certain diseases in her own practice. Among other
compounds she has for many years made a salye
which SION obtained extensive Sale, and is
Low in great demand abroad, as well as in pri-
vae families and among the hundreds of men engag-
ed at Reckand and vicinity in the hazardous BUSH
ness of quarrying rock and burning lime and also
among the seamen along the coast o. Maine. So pop
ular did it become that while it was only put up in
old mustard boxes without labels the help of ad-
yertisements, Miss Sawyer received orders for it
from nearly or quite every State in the Union The
demand finally became SO extensive that she was I'M
able to meet it, and she made an arrangement with
l.. M. ROBBINS, druggist of Rockland, to take
charge of the business and supply The trade. The
agent Is SO well satisfied with the merits the Med
icine that he guarantees it to ali diseases for
which it is recommended, and any one who gives it
trial according to directions and is not satisfied is
invited to return the box with half the contents and
the money will be reunded. Full directions with

else and has never found anything that healed his
leg as that Salve of yours, and have both found
it to be all and more than y@a recommend 4 to

have used 1t for everything and truly sag ace
hare neUer found its equal use il for weak back
and i acts like charm. Mr. COMBS has had Fe-

that he can ask. L can recommend it for good
many things you have net, Tor it for everything
