THE BEST OF ALL SoHooLs.-The 6reside
is seminary of infinite importance, because
1t is universal, and because the education it
bestows, being woven in with the woof of
childhood, gives form and color to the whole
texture of life There are few who can res
ceive the honors of a college, but all are
graduates of the hearth. The learning Of
the university may fade from the recollection,
its classic lore may moulder in the halls of
memory, but the simple lessons of home
enameled upon the heart of childhood, defy
the rust of years and outlive the more mature
but less vivid picture Of after years. So deep,
SO lasting indeed, are the impressions of early
life, that you oftens see man in the imbecility
of age holding fresh in his recollection the
events of childhood, while all the wide space
between thatand the present hour is a blasted
and forgotten waste. You have perchsnces
seen an old obliterated portrait, and in the
attempt to have it cleaned and restored you
may have seen it fade away, while brighter
and more perfect picture painted beneath is
revealed to view. This portrait first drawn
on the canvass is no faint illustration of
youth, and though it may be concealed by
some after design, still the original traits will
ever shine through the outward picture,
giving it its tone while fresh and saving it
in decay. Such is the freside-the great
institution of Providence for the education
of man.

BOYS should remember the following ex-
cellent maxims Liberty is the right to do
whatever you wish without interfering with
the rights of others. Save your money and
you will find it one of your most useful
friends. Never give trouble to your mother
or father. Take care of your pennies and
they will grow to be dollars. Intemperance
is the cause of nearly all trouble in this
world; beware Of strong drink. The poor
boy, if he be industrious, honest and saving,
may reach the highest honor in the land.
Never be cruel to dumb animal remember
it has no power to tell how much it suffers.
Honesty is always the best policy.

Looking Back.

1t is the solemn thought connected with
middle age that life's last business is begun
in earnest and it is then, midway between
the cradle aud the grave, that a man begins
to look back and marvel, with a kind of re-
morselul feeling, that he let the days of youth
90 by so half enjoyed. 1t is the pensiye au-
tumn feeling it is the sensation Of half sad
ness that we experience when the longest day
of the year is past and every day that follows
is shorter, and the lights fainter, and the
feeble shadows tell that nature is Fastening
with gigantic footsteps to her winter grave.
So does man look back upon his youth
When the first gray hairs become visible,
when the unwelcome truth forces itself upon
the mind that a man is no longer going up
the hill but down, and that the sun is already
westering, he looks back on things behind.
Now this is a natural feeling, but is it wise?
Is it the high Christian tone Of feeling ? We
answer No. We, who have an inheritance
incorruptible and undefed, and that fadeth
not away" what have we to do with things
past ? When we were as children, we thought
as children. But now there lies before us
manhood, with its earnest work and then
old age and then the grave, and then home.
And so manhood in the Christian life is bet
ter than boyhood, because it is ripper thing
and old age ought to be brighter and a
calmer and more serene thing than man
hood.
There is a second youth for man, better and
holier than his first, if he will look on and not
back There is peculiar simplicity of
heart, and touching singeness of purpose
in Christian old age which has ripened grad
ually and not ftfully 1t is then that to
the wisdom of the serpent is added the harm
lessness of the dove it is then that to the
frmness of manhood is joined almost the
gentleness of womanhood it is then that
the somewhat austere and sour character of
growing strength, moral and intellectual, mel
lows into the rich ripeness of an old age made
sweet and tolerant by experience. 1t is then
that man returns to first principles. Then
comes love more pure and deep than the boy
could ever feel then comes conviction,
with a strength beyond that which the boy
could ever know, that the earliest lesson Of
life is infinite Christ is all in all.-EarRest
