PARENTAL INFLUENCE.

How often do we find parents weeping
over the dissolute habits of a beloved son,
and wondering how their child could ever
have lallen into such evil habits Yet, if
they go back and examine their actions and
conduct in the presence of and toward that
son, too many parent will ind, with bit
ter ageny, that be himself has furnished a
ruinous example to his own child Has he
not himself, from time to time, at the in
yitatiou of friend or on some convivial
occasion, been induced to take his social
glass? Has he not lent the aid of his name
and character to enable that tavern-keeper
to procure license to sell liquor? Has he
not offered. wines, or other liquors, to his
guests, at his own house, on the occasion Of
some social entertainment or New Year 5
day anniversary Has he not withheld his
name and influence from the great temper
ance reformation, and by thus standing
aloof been in fact opposing this benign
clement Of regeneration to drunken humanl-
ty? IF so, he may be assured that he has
furnished a terrible example to lure his own
child on to its destruction. That son viii
not think it wrong to take his social glass
with friend after seeing his father do so:
and that very tavern for which the influence
of that father had procured license, may
become gate of hell'' to his ruined son.
At the social board, in his OWE home, that
mother may pOnr out for her own son his
first glass, and may kindle in his bosom that
terrible passion whose devouring flames will
blast and destroy the happiness Of herself
and son forever. An awful responsibility
does indeed rest upon that parent who,
either by example or otherwise, c0unte-
nances habits in his child which will proba-
bly, end in intemperance
We often, too, hear fathers mourning
over the dissipation of their sons, and
averring that they would be ready to lay
down their lives if it would effect the re
clamation of their children. They no doubt
pray auxiously that their sons may become
members of some Temperance society; and
yet, do they belong to any such society
themselves Have they ever done anything
to advance the interests of the temperance
cause? Have they not rather, by declining
to become connected with such associations,
furnished an example to their own children
and others to decline also? To them, then,
we would say, join FIRST yourselves. Your
names and Influence may not only be the
means of saving your own sons, but may
help to give freedom and happiness to
thousands of others who groan under the
thralldom of intemperance. Do not hope
and expect that others will labor amid
eontumely and reproach, for the benefit OF
your sons, while you yourselves are vlrtu-
ally opposing their efforts, and lending your
countenance to those who are sneerIng at
the benevolent enterprise of temperance
men.-Phre Journal

HENRY WARD BEECHER, having been
asked for his opinion about novel reading,
has given it. He asserts that Protestant
Christendom is not united on any other
practical question more entirely than on the
propriety of reading fiction" In proof of
this startling position be instances the ap-
proval given to the parallels of the Gospels.
Milton poems, the ''Pilgrim's s Progress,
and Pollock Course Of Time. " He next
SAYS it is impossible to lay down any general
rule as to how much time should be given
TO novel reading. But he thinks it certain
that novels should not be made ''the staple
of reading On the contrary, he would
have them bear the same proportion to the
whole amount Of one S reading that pepper
does to ones food, or sugar to ones drink.
He is ready to admit, however, that novels
are useful in implanting taste for reading,
and that Miss Austen's works, Miss Edge
worth's tales, Miss Sedgwick's novels, Wal
ter Seott's matchless romances, contain al
good matter as is to be found in sermons
essays, histories, or poems lie says

has heard of suudry such American citizens

So she fastened the loyal bunting over the
door of Mr.. Parton writing room, whereby
the amanueDsis could neither get in or out

Fanny placed in the entry, by the side OF

tfat the gentleman rebel could not fail TO
take off his hat to it. Whereupob the
ananuensis left on the pedestal amemoran-
dam intimating that persons curious to
see Buffers face as it appeared there might
have seen his back as it appeared at Bethel.
During the afternoon Fanny set bottle o.

THE CLEAR VISION.
by JOHN C. WHITTIER.

/ did but dream. never knew
What charms our sternest season wore,
Was never yet the sky so blue,
Was never earth so white before
Till now I never saw the glow
or sunset on yon hills of snow,
And never learned the hough's designs
4Of beauty in its leafess lines.
Did ever such a morning break
As that my eastern widows see?
Did ever such a moonlight take
Niered photographs Of shrub and tree
Rang ever bells so wild and fleet
The music Of the winter street?
Was ever yet sound by half
So merry as yon schoolboy's laugh?
o Earth with gladuess overfraught
No added charm by face hath found,
Within my heart the change is wrought,
Ny footsteps make enchanted ground.
From couch Of pain and curtained room
Forth to thy light and air | come,
To find in all that meets my eyes
The freshness of glad surprise.
Fair seem these winter days, and soon
Shall blow the warm west winds Of spring,
To set the unbound rills in tune,
And hither urge the biuebird' S wing.
The wales shall laugh in flowers the woods
Grow misty green with leafng buds,
And yiolets and wind6owers sway
Against the throbbing heart of May
Break forth, my lips, in praise, and own
The wiser love severely kind;
Since, richer for its chastening grown
1 see, whereas I once was blind
The world, 0 Father hath not wronged
With loss the life by the prolonged
But still, with every added year,
More beautiful thy works appear
As thou hast made thy world without,
Make thou more fair my world within;
Shine through its lingering clouds of doubt;
Rebake its haunting shapes of sin;
FIJI, briefor long, my granted span
OF life with love to the and man;
Strike when thou wilt the hour Of rest,
But let my last days be my best

A GENTLEMAN was once riding in Scot
land by bleaching ground, where poor
woman was at work watering her webs of
linen cloth. He asked her where she
went to church, and what she heard on the
preceding day, and how much she remem-
bered. She could not even tell the text Of
the sermon. And what good can the
preaching do you, said he, if you forget

THE AMERICAN GIRL.-It is the belief of
certain well meaning men, who were not
born in Constantinople, that if the American
girl were called on to meet a proportion Of
her expenses by her own labor, she would
be publicly greater, and personally healthi-
er, wiser and happier. 1t is even believed
that her outlay, instead of increasing would
diminish Practiced in the mystery Of
keeping accounts, aware by experience of
the difficulty of earning money, she would
be clever enough to save it. With some
thing to do, she would put less mind, time,
and purse into the pursuit of pleasure.
Mated at last with poor man $50 many are
iucorrigibly vicious that way she would
share his burden rather than crush him
with it. faIl women now we're thus, we

cheap girl of thirty years since Whether
