Counsel for the Young.

Never be cast down by triaes. If spider
breaks his web twenty times, twenty times
will he mend it. Make up your mind to do
a thing, and you will do it. Fear not if
trouble comes upon you; keep up your spir-
its, though the day may be dark one
Trouble lever lasts forever,
The darkest day viii pass away.
If the sun is going down, look up to the
stars-if the earth is dark, keep your eyes
on heaven. With Gods presence and Gods
promise, a man or child may be cheerful.
Never despair when fOgs in the air,
A suushiny morning viii come without warning.
Mind what you run after. Never be con
tent With bubble that Will burst; or FIRE
wood that will end in smoke and darkness
but that which you can keep and is worth
keeping.
Some thing sterling that viii stay,
When gold and silver pass away.
Fight hard against hasty temper An
ger will come, but resist it strongly. A
spark may set house on fire, fit of pas
sion may give you cause to mourn all the
days of your life. Never revenge an injury,
lie that reyeugeth knows no rest:
The meek possess a peaceful breast.
If you have an enemy, act kindly to him,
make him your friend: You may not win
him over at once, but try him again. Let
one kindness be followed by another till you
have comprised your end. By little and lit
tie great things are completed.
Water falling day by day,
Wears the hardest rock away.
And so repeated kindness will soften a
heart of stone.
Whatever you do, do it willingly. A boy
that is whipped at school never learns his
lessons well. A man that is compelled to
work cares not how badly it is performed.
He who pulls off his coat cheerfully, strips
off clothes in earnest, and sings while he
works, is the man for me-
A cheerful spirit gets on quick:
A grumbler in the mud will stick.
Evil thoughts are worse enemies than IL
gers and lions, for We can get out of the
way of wild beasts-but bad thoughts win
their way everywhere. Keep your heads
and hearts full of good thoughts, that bad
thoughts may not fnd room
Be on your guard, ard strive and pray,
To drive all evil thoughts away.

Have You Pulled Up the Anchor?

We have heard story of two drunken
sailors who had to cross Scotch firth at
night. They leaped into the boat, and pulled
away at the oars with all their might; they
pulled, and pulled, and wondered they did
not reach the shore. In their maudlin state
they thought the tide was set against them,
and so, in wild fashion, they took spells of
pulling, but no shore did they reach. Great
was their astonishment, for the firth was
narrow, and quarter of an hour should
have seen them at the opposite beach,
"Surely," they said, "the boat is bewitched,
or we are. The night wore on, and the
morning light explained the mystery to their
soberer eyes. "Why, Sandy, we never
pulled up the anchorP' Just so; and thus
tug as they might, they labored in vain.
Many and many sinner has been in like
case. He has tried to believe, always a
strange thing to do, but all his trying has
come to nothing; peace has been as far of
as ever The means of grace have been un-
availing, prayer has brought no answer of
Joy, the man b. hee eady to despair, and
blamed fate and the devil, and thousand
other things. Meanwhile the real cause Of
the souls long delay has been unnoticed
the heart has never really loosed its hold of
its self-righteous hopes, never fairly pulled
up the anchor and trusted itself to Jesus
Reader, how is it with you? Have you
heaved the anchor? Have you done with
self? If not, all your efforts are idle, all
your prayers and tears are fruitless, and you
see clearly that they must be SO. Man, up
with the anchor! let go every trust but Je,
sus, and you will soon be at the desired
haven.

My Field.
By $. Ne I. HENRY.

turned the turf of pasture old,
And sowed, upon the fragrant mold,
Nv boarded grains of wheaton gold.
The little field grew fair and green,
And smiled in the autumnal sheen,
A summer dream, the hills between.
But those who saw it could not see
How beautiful it was to me,
Or what hoped its fruit would be.
They did not know the toll and pain
That was the price Of every grain;
They only saw the greening plain.
They said, "Tbis wheat looks very fair,
But yet we think twill hardly bear
The winter cold" o heart Of prayer
That broke within me as l heard!
How all my faith and hope were stirred,
Responding to each doubling word.
And, as laid me down to sleep,
said, the while l could but weep,
SIN faith l sOwed-I needs must reap"
But while I slept, all through the night,
The snow came down, with foOtstep light,
And hid the green field from my sight.
The morning sunlight, as it shone
Between white hills, looked down upon
A spreading plain of white alone.
All through the winter, closely sealed
To passers by, my little field
It's secret kept, still unrevealed.
The winter long the winter cold!
When SHOWS were gathered fold on fold
Alas for green alas for gold!
Alas for mel how could know
NY wheat would live beneath the snow?
Doubt, at my ear, kept whispering, "NO'"
Faith, like snow birds, often came,
And sweetly chirruped o er the plain,
But, like them, ever went again.
Until at last, wearied, thought,
ssWith honest purpose 1 have wrought,
So yield me much or yield me naught,
so hidden field my Master knows
The secret, covered by the SHOWS,
I wait the love that shall disclose"

Destructibility of the Worl1.

Science discloses that worlds and suns are
destructible, and that aggregate humanity
itself may be overtaken with sudden annihila-
ton, if it has no spiritual existence and no
immaterial sphere. Suns have disappeared
from the heavens by confagration; and the
SpectroScope has lately proved that thous-
ands on thousands of miles of hydrogen are
blazing bout our own sun. AS late as last
year, star in the constellation of the
Northern Crown Corone,) suddenly became
luminous as a star of the first magnitude
the spectroscope proved that it was another
confagration of hydrogen, and that the in
crease of light must have been accompanied
by an increase of heat, which would augment
780 times the heat of all bodies within its
influence. Such an explosion on our sun
now. actually subject to similar phenomena
on a smaller, and yet stupendous scale,
would consume of vapor our whole system.
The fact that these catastrophe8 do take place
in the heavens, is now indisputable; hereto
fore the sudden illumination and disappear
ance of suns could not be explained, but the
new spectroscope apparatus demonstrates
that they are caused by the combustion Of
hydrogen gas. st. Peters picture Gii: 7-12)

A WRITER IN Temple Bar, in discussing
1.-THE Anatomy of Quarrelling, says: "There
is nothing more painful, or more astounding
to a reflective man than to look back over his
life, and see how the necessary evils of ex.
istence have been added to and multiplied
by artificial means. If we could only take
the sum of the evils of any particular life,
and separate those which might have been
avoided by the exercise of little prudence,
or moderation, or common sense, we should
be astonished at the small proportion that
would remain. Of course, it is remarkably
easy to be ca post facto wise; and some may
doubt the advisability of mans annoying
himself by contemplating his bygone stu
pdity; but out of past errors may come
future prudence, and man who has proved
to himself how great mistake quarrelling
is, may be determined to avoid thereafter so
very proftleSs an indulgence. Quarrelling,
as we shall endeavor to show, is almost in
variably an indulgence, and therefore a
thing which is avoidable. Nor is there any
lot in life so fortunate and happy that quar-
relling need be used as an alternative.
Quarrelling, in short, is altogether and
wholly a blunder. 1t wastes time, which
is the staff of life; it destroys amicable
sentiments that may have taken years to
grow; it embitters ones own mind, vexes
others, disturbs the system, and destroys
digestion.
"'He was too happy to know anything
of the passions, wrote Savage Lander to one
of his friends about Thomson the poet. There
are some natures so tremendously balanced
as to be naturally averse to incidental and
abnormal excitement. There are others,
again, in state of perpetual and sudden
alienation, flying to extremes, especially in
emotional directions. But the vast majority
of people hover between those two poles,
and, especially in the matter of quarrelling,
abandon themselves pretty much to circum-
stances. Now, if it could only be we'll un-
derstood that quarrelling is, as we say, in
variably bunder, and that it is almost
invariably avodtble, it is clear that little
precaution might remove to great extent
this trouble from life. 1t takes two to make
quarrel, and you may refuse to quarrel if
you like. The longer you quarrel the more
unlikely are you to convince your opponent
that he is in the wrong. 1t is in the nature
of quarrels that both disputants imagine
that they are in the right Recrimination
never contains argument that has the least
effect; and the only result of the quarrel is
to waste large portion of time in proftless
irritation, and to njure ones health.

OXYGEN is one of the best stimulants
known, and the safest as administered by a
kind Providence, Very delicate invalids
may sometimes find certain climates too
stimulating; but, other than that, no one is
injured by taking too much fresh air. When
one feels languid and even weak, a walk
out doors, quickening the breathing and
giving the benefit of pure air, will restore
the strength more quickly than brandy
Clergymen may take advantage of this fact
if called to pulpit effort while feeling weak.
A few deep inspirations, taken deliberately
before commencing the sermon, will infuse
fresh life into them. In fact, they should
cultivate the habit of fully initiating the
lungs, and freeing them from bad air, before
and during preaching. 1t will
both strengthen and improve the oratory.
