FAMILY WORSHIP.

The duty Of family worship is, perhaps,
not enjoined by any positive Scriptural
precept. 1t is, however, clearly taught
inferentislly. in the Scriptures Family re:
|ligion must have been the first established
in the world. In the patriarchal ages the
father was, religiously, the head ofthe fam
/ lily. He was the household priest, whose
duty it was to impart religious instruction
and offer sacrifice in behalf of his family.
It is said of Abraham, that "his house
hold shall keep the way Of the Lord. -
Joshua declared ,|'tAs for me and my house
We will serve the Lord" We read that
Job tssancti6ed" his children, and offered
burnt offerings according to their, number.
This relation that the father aneientfy
sustained to the household was not abroga-
ted either by Moses or Christ. It must,
therefore remain essentially the same The
dreadful imprecatioh of the prophet Jere
miah involves the duty of family prayer :
"Pour out thy wrath upon the heather, and
all the families that call not upon thy
name.' ..,.,
tits stated, I think, of Dr.. Payson, that
he once staid over night at a hotel,' and,
before retiring, asked the privilege of pray
ing with the family. 1t was denied him.
He arose to depart, saying that be did not
feel Sc in staying where prayer was Meth:
er observed nor suffered. - - ."'.'
!: John Wesley says: "No day should pass
without family prayer seriously and solemn
ly performed" !" =" =. =" 49,. -
In the absence Of the father this duty
falls upon the mother. In the absence of
both, It devolves upon some other members
of the family.
DR.. Clarke says: "lf the parents do not
perform family prayer, and if there be a
converted child, it devolves upon him.
Should he refuse, he will soon lose the COM
forts of religion, 4,s,,.,s.....,

THE SAILORS DYING MOTHER.

During the last illness of pious mother,
when she was near death, her only remain
ing child, the subject of many agonizing
and believing prayers, who had been rowing
the sea, returned to pay his parent visit.
After a very affecting meeting, "You are
near port, mother," said the hardy looking
sailor, "and I hope you will have abundant
entrance" eyes my child, the fair haven
is in sight, and soon, very soon, 1 shall be
landed . ~ 'r. '-..
Where pilgrims meet to part no more.'"
"You have weathered many storm in
your passage, mother, but now Gods deal
ing very graciously with you, by causing
the winds to cease, and by giving you q
calm at the end of your voyage" "God
has always dealt graciously with me,
my son; but this last expression Of His
kindness, in permitting me to see you be-
fore I die, is so unexpected, that it is like
a miracle wrought in answer to prayer
90 mother!' replied the sailor, weeping
as bespoke, ''syour prayers have been the
means of my salvation, and 1 am thankful
that your life has been spared till could
tell you of it," She listened with devout
composure to the account of his conversion,
and atlast, taking his hand, she pressed it to
her dying lips, and said, Yes, Thou art a
faithful God! and as it hath pleased Thee
to bring back my long-lost child, and adopt
him into Thy family, I will say, Now let
test Thou Thy servant depart in peace; for
mine eyes hath seen Thy salvation. -

A gentle word is never lost,
Oh never then refuse one; ~
It cheers the heart when sorrow-tost,
And lulls the cares that bruise one;
It scatters sunshine DER our way,
And turns our thorns to roses;
It changes weary night to day, ..
And hope and love discloses.
A gentle word is never lost
Thy fallen brother needs It;
How easy and how small the cost,
With peace and comfort speed it;
Then drive the shadow from thy cheek,
A smile can we'll replace It;
Our voice Is music when we speak,
With gentle words to grace 1t.

KERosENE.-The error must not prevail

KERosENE.-The error must not prevail
that kerosene oil of legal standard will Is.
mite or burn if a lamp containing it is bro,
ken. Good OIL, such as should be used in
families, will e1tsngussh fame when brought
in contact with it. Oil heated to the usual
point, while burning in lamp in the eve
ming, should extinguish a lighted match
when thrust intofit. IF the reader is using
in his family unadulterated kerosene, 5he
may take off the cap of the lighted lamp,
thrust in a lighted taper, or may turn it
out on the Aoor, and apply fame, and it
will not take fire or explode. Standard
kerosene, such as the Jaw recognizes, is per-
fecth safe. We wish to state and re-state
this fact, as it would be- great misfortune,
especially to the. poor, to have the errone-
Gus ideas prevail that all kerosene is dan
gerous. A cheap light is too great bless
ing to be deprived Of through unjust preju-
dice. 1t is only the wretched sdulterated
oils, the naptha fluids, that are dangerous.
We are almost discouraged in our efforts
to explain the.natures of the Illuminating
fluids, when we find, as we have during the
past month, daring, reckless fellow tran-
cling through the towns about this city,
selling recipes to make cheap naptha burn
ing liquid. He succeeded in flching his
dollar from lawyers, clergymen, a judge Of
a police court (who instead of patronizing
him, should have ISSUED Warrant for his
arrest), and many others who are reckoned
among the educated" classes. We have
reason to think the country is full of these
men.-Bostoe Journal of Chemistry.

HOW SMALL EXPENDITURES COUNT.

Five cents each morning. A mere triae.
Thirty. five cents per week. Not much,
yet it would buy coffee or sugar for whole
family. $18.25a year. And this amount
invested in savings bank at the end of
each year, and the interest thereon at six
per cent, computed annually, would in
twelve years amount 70 more than s$67O.
Enough to buy q good farm in the West.
Five cents before breakfast, dinner, and
supper; you'd hardly miss it, yet tbs fifteen
cents day; $I05 per week. Enough to
buy wife Or daughter dress. $A.60 8
year. Enough to buy small library of
books. Invest this as before, and in twenty
years you would have over $4,000. Quite
enough to buy a good house and lot. -,
Ten cents each morning; hardly worth
q second thought; yet with it you can buy
a paper of pins or spool Of thread. sey-
enty cents per week ,tWould buy, several
yards Of muslin. $86:5 80 in one year. De-
posit this amount as before, and you would
have $3.50 in twenty years quite snug
little fortune: Ten cents before each break
fast, dinner, and supper-thirty cents a day.
It would buy book for the children. $2.1O
week; enough to payfor; a'year's sub
scription to good newspaper. $1o92s
per year. With it you could buy 8 good
melodeon on which your wife or daughter
could produce sweet music to pleasantly
while the evening hours away. And this
amount, invested as before, would, in forty
years, produce the desirable amount, $l2,5-
600. ,...
Boys learn q lesson. Hyou would be a
happy youth, lead sober life, and be- Q
wealthy and influential man instead of
Fsquandering your extra change, invest in a
library or savings bank.
If you would be a miserable youth, take
your, extra change and invest it in drink
ing.saloon, lead drunken life, abuse your
children, grieve your: wife, be a wretched
and despicable being while you live, and
finally 20 down to o dishonored grave. !
