boys Out Aftcr Nightfall.

A writer in the ,Ffreside CoD,pa,a.
ion moralizes as follows upon the
above topic:
/ have long been an observer, "a r
am "a sympathetic lover of boys. | love
to see them happy, cheerful and glee-
some. l am not willing that they
should be cheated out OF their rightfnl
heritage of youth-indeed, I can hard
lyunderstand how u high toned, use
ful man can be the ripened fruit of a
boy who has not enjoyed fair share of
the glad privileges due to youth. But
while watch with very jealous eve
all rights aud customs which entrench
upon the proper rights Uf bbys, am
equally apprehensive lest parents, who
are not fore. .thoughtful; and who have
not habituated themselves to close OBJ
servation upon this subject, permit
their sons indulgences which are al
NEST certain to result In demorlizatidn,
II not In total ruin; and among the
habits which have observed as ten
ding mbst surely to ruin, know of
none so prominent as that of parents
permitting their sons to run i'm the
streets after nightfall. 1t Is ruinous to
their morals in almost all Instances.
AhCy acquire NuueT coNer OF nlgnt an
and excited state of mind,
bad language and practices, criminal
sentiments, "a lawless and riUtous bear.
Ing indeed, il II the street after night
fall, that boys principally acquire the
of the bad capacity for be-
coming dissolute, criminal men Pa.
rents should i'm this particular, have a
rigid, inflexahle rule, that will never
permit son, under any circumstances
whatever, to 20 into the street, after
with view of engaging i'm
out of door sports or of meeting other
boys for social or chance occupation
A rigid rule of this kind, invariably
adhered to, will soon deaden the desire
for such dangerous practices,

We are aware, the. foundations of the
character are laid, aud no subsequent
instructions can remove or alter them.

Will Mothers know their.
Children i'm Heaven. rs

|
In the last number OF the New York
Ledger Henry Ward Beecher thus
SPEAKS upon this subject: ~ @
| But shall we recognize each other in
Heaven? This precise question is nei-
ther put nor answered In the Sacred
| Scriptures. But, beyond all dispute,
! 1T is implied, assumed as the very ne
cessity of moral state, that the prin-
ciple of memory will exist; that the
sufierings, temptations, triumplls OF
men over evil; that the divine helpful.
ness and fidelity displayed during the
whole OF mans earthly lives, will be
an occasion OF thanksgiving aud praise.
Now, If memory survives, why should
its action be limited to one class of ex-
periences? Why, III we remember
earthly sufferings, should we not re-
member those who soothed and sympa-
thized i'm them? Ii we remember
adult friends, why should we forget
little children, which take hold upon
the heart with a grasp even tirmer than
any grown person can? There is no
authority for suppositions which parcel
out the memory and limit its free ac-
tivity. AA8N
1t may be safely said to all of that
great company Of mourners, whose
children have gone away from them,
God hos taken your babcs! 1Ee,l 0re
safe. They did not venture out into
some great void, some vague and
unexplored way, where the little wan
derers were left To find their own way.
If there be use for angels, surely
there is none more fit and beautiful
than to bear i'm their bosoms, and con-
vey to the presence OF the AH iouing,
the tender spirits, of the little chil.
dren.f eEa#AE + ~ \. -EkEtF
Nor do we need to doubt that there
is i'm the Fathers house q place for
them, and sweet company, and perfect
blessedness, aud gladness. Innocence
and friendship, such as they could new
er have had.on earth.
Our children are cared for He that
was grieved when little children were
kept from him, who took them up i'm
his arms, laid his hands upon them
is he any less a lover of children In
Heaven than he was upon earth?
But, shall we know them I? Why
not? Where is there an intimation in
Scripture to this effect? 1t is not posi-
lively affirmed; but it is implied that
men, dropping at death all that is of
the flesh, will rise into the communion
of Heaven, carrying the same atfec-
tions, sentiments. will and intelligence
that they had OH earth. Otherwise of
what use are discipline, education,
earthly experience? 1t is the saint
made perfect, not made up of a new
pattern. that we shall meet i'm glory.
Let no mother be driven from the
hope of meeting her children in Heav-
en-. Let mothers comfort themselves
in believing that the loves of earth will
go OIL In Heaven, and that whatever
was pure, noble and true on earth will
go on with them, forever. Among all
other griefs, let not this unnecessary
one arise, that you have lost your chill
dren forever! He who keeps you for
them, will keep them for you! They
will be more beautiful, sweeter, more
glorious i'm preciousness. They will! he
enough tile same to make you glad for
all the growths, additions, and refine
nlents OF their charms.

The Husband.

The husband is the very roof-tree of
the hUuse-the corner stone of the edi-
flee the key stone of the arch called
home. He is the bread winner OF the
family--its defense aud its glory-the
and ending of the golden
chain of life WHICH surrounds it--its
consoier, It's liawgiver. and It's king.
And yet we see how fraiD is that lille on
which so much depends. How frail is
the life OF the husband and father?-
When he is taken away, who shall fill
his place? When he is sick what
gloomy clouds hover over the house !!
When he is dead what darkness. weep
ing agony! Then poverty, like the
assassin, breaks in at the
windows-starvation like fanlished
wolf, howls at the door. Widowhood
is too often an associate of sackclotb
and ashes. Orphanhood too often
means desolation and woe

Many years ago n. p. Willis wrote a
letter to the Natioaat Iateiiigcncer, In
which he gave his first impressions OF
the then youthful Dickens. At that
time Dickens had been within the rules
ofthe Queens Bench for pecuniary em-
barrassments. He went to see the au-
thor. aud found him In large building

room Vas uncarpetei, with deal table
two or three chairs, O few books, a
small boy and Mr.. Dickens for the con-
tents. His dress was as strange as the
furniture Of his apartments. His bair
was cropped close To his head, his
clothes scant. though jauntily cut, and
after changing ragged office coat for
a shabby blue. he stood by the door.
collarless and buttoned up, the very
personification. Mr.. Willis says, Of a
close sailor IN the wind. Two or three
years later, Mr.. Willis met him at
dinner party given To Maeready. Dick
ems was present, but n. p. was unable
to identify him, for, he says, "He was
no more like the same man had seen
than tree in June Ii like the same In
February. He sat leaning his head on
his hand. while Bulwer was speaking,
and with his very long hair. his very
black waistcoat, his chains and rings,
and, withal, much paler face than Of
old, he was totally unrecogEized." His
fortunes. during the period which In.
tervened between his first meeting and
the last, had changed the man consid-
