Honesty.

An instance of the finding of money was
told us a few days ago. A lad named john
ny Black, twelve years old. picked up on
the street pocket-book containing evil
it in his pocket and turned back to walk in
an opposite direction to that in which he
was going when he found the pocket-book,
in expectation of meeting the loser on the

searching the pavement, and walking quite
hurredly. Johnny went up to him and
touched him.

"What was it 90

money i'll it,
ssCome in here with me-"
And the two walked into the store, where,
in the presence of the proprietor, the man
named the amount of money and gave a
a list of papers contained i'll the pocket

$16 900 in bills, the amount named by the
stranger, and all the papers he had men
toned; when the little fellow, without any
apparent emotion, handed the stranger the
pocket-book with its contents.
"Now." said the stranger, "you come

And he took Johnny to clothing store,
and fitted him out with q nice warm suit of
clothes; thence to boot and shoe-store,
where his pedal e1tremities were adorned

Win not Johnny be happier and better all
his life, than if he had kept, or tried to Keep,

She stood, the hoping and fearing wrought
To one consummate and sovereign thought,
A dear little dimpled maiden.
But she did not watch for the boat on the
tide,
With the black nets dragging over the side,
And the silver herrings laden.
The waves lay quiet about her feet,
And she made the weed-strewn beach so
sweet,
Both she and her song together;
The two little shoulders out of her gown
Peeping timid, and osy-brown
As her GIenfern hills of heather.
All out of the West the scarlet fell,
And the gold and the gray like Il chasuble,
On the moaning and dark Lochmarlie,
And over the red, and the gold and gray
The song from the young mouth rippled
away,
And the glad refrain was Charley.
No sounds were heard but the fisher soar,
AS his boat came scudding in to the shore,
Her nets like 4 black veil wearing,
And his shout, as he lightly leapt to land;
But what to the maiden there on the sand
Was the prize of a silver herring!
She hid her shoulders deep in her gown,
And dropt her careless eyelids down
To the water of dark Lochmarlie;
And over the fisher and nets and all
Her song went on like the beach-bird's call,
And the wild refrain was Charley.
Slow the night came over the dew,
But never a sail the mist breaks through
Sweetheart, can you thus dissemble p
And fainter and fainter the love song
grows,
Till it breaks as the rain-drops break in
the rose
To soft and soundless tremble.
Now all is still as still can be,
And the bell strikes one, and two, and
three,
And the morning, whitening over,
Casts the moon in the sea like n ring
Which maid might out of her window
To her mad and moaning lover.
The strong armed fisher comes to the shore,
And heads his sighted boat once more
Where the silver prize is lying;
But it seems to him that the wild green
wave
Turns as the grass turns over grave,
And his wrecked heart fills with signing.
Ills many year since the maiden's lay,
With the gold and scarlet, died away
From the water of dark Lochmarlie:
But still with the night do the tides return
To the heathery hills of wild Glenfern
With the wall of Charley. Charley!

TIE RESULT OF APPLICATIoN.-Seek to
acquire the power of continuous applica-
ton without WHICH you cannot expect sue
cess. If you do this, you will be able to
perceive the distance which it creates be-
tween you and those who have not such
habits. You will not count yourself, nor
will they count you, as one of them. Thus
you will find yourself emerging into the
higher regions of intellectual and earnest
men-men who are capable of making 4
place for themselves, instead of standing
idly gaping, desiring place without the
power to command it. Keep on striving
to accomplish more and more every day,
and thus enlarge constantly the range of
your intellectual ability. If you learn to
do as much work in one day as you used to
do in two or three days, you are as good as
two or three such men as you formerly
were, boiled down in one.-Dr. Wayland

You can go from New York to San
Francisco in eight days. This is less time
than used to be required to make the COM

and Philadelphia, when the old Colonial
Congress was in session at the latter place.

ADVANTAGE OF LEARNING A TRADE-The
advice of Benjamin Franklin, to give every
child tr;;le by which he eas.sarn living,
if necessal., comes of an expe4anoe older
than his. In some countries this has been
the law; in others 4 common custom. st.
Paul, though educated in the law at the
feet of Gamaliel, also acquired the impor
tant oriental handicraft of tent-maken,
by which he was able to earn his living
while prosecuting his mission. 1t is good
and wise thing to do. You may be able to
send your children fortunes; but "riches
take to themselves wings" You may give
them finished educations, and they may be
gifted with extraordinary genius; but they
may be placed in situations where no talent
may be so available as some humble, honest
trade, by which they can get their living
and be useful to others.

GIVE Your CHILD A PAPER.-A child
beginning to read becomes delighted with
a newspaper, because he reads the names
and things which are familiar, and he will
progress accordingly. A~newspaper in one
year is worth a quarters schooling to a
child. Every father must consider that in
formation is connected with advancement.
The mother of family, being one of its
heads, and having a more immediate charge
of children, should herself be instructed
A mind occupied becomes fortified against
the ills of life, and is braced for emergency.
Children amused by reading or study are
of course more considerate and easily gov
erned. How many thoughtless young men
have spent their earnings in tavern or
gsog- shop who ought to have been reading
Hey many parents who have not spent
tweaty dollars for books for their families,
woulti nave given thousands to reclaim a
son OF daughter, who had ignorantly,
thougotlesdy, fallen into temptation.

FEMALE TENT No trait of character
is more valuable in female than the pos
session of a sweet temper. OH. We can
never be made happy without it. 1t is like
the flowers that spring up in our pathway,
reviving and cheering us. Let a man go
home at night, wearied and worn by the
tolls of the day, and how soothing is a
word dictated by good disposition 1t is
sunshine falling on his heart. He is happy,
and the cares of life are forgotten. A
sweet temper has soothing influence over
the minds of a whole family. Where it is
found in the wife and mother, you observe
kindness and love predominating over the
natural feelings of bad heart Smiles,
kind words and looks characterize the
children, and peace and love have their
dwelling ti..re. Study, then, to acquire
and retain = sweet temper. 1t is more
valuable than gold; and to the close of life
retains all its fresh ess and power.
