Pity Pats Prayer.

We've dear little lassie we've named Pity
Pat,
She's got wee kitten she calls Kitty Cat.
Now Pity Pat sleeps in gown snowy
white,
While KITTY Cat wears her day clothing all
night.
But Pity Pat says she don't like it at all,
And pulling the fur out, makes Kitty Cat
squall;
But still she persistsin undressing her pet,
And failing to do it quite angry wiz get.
While Kitty Cat cries at what Pity Pat
does
70 her one little coattee of silky soft fuz,
Then Pity Pats sorry, and asks why she
cries
At being fixed tidy for shutting her eyes!
Nor says, "Eow Hay me-" when going to
bed,
But curling up softly, sings 'Purr" instead!
So Pity Pat tells her, in solomnest way,
Ifyoure bad Kitty Cat, then must pray.
"Her lays her-dear Father-down softy-in
Her doesn't-do nnfin-and nufin"-she
said 81.
"Cept pur-r-and pur-r, and then goes to
sleep
But never mind, Father, her little soul
keep"

nary remarks, said:
And now as these in the dew of
their youth look forth upon life
the question occurs, What is the
prospect of success to me in life?
Casting my eyes over these
troubled waters may I hope to
steer my bark successfully over
that sea and reach that port which
| desire to.attain, or shall / be
stranded upon some unfriendly
shore with melancholy wreck of
all these bright hopes which
throw their radiance over my
youth? What do we understand
by success? There is no little
danger with the young to meas
ure success altogether by a mate
rial value; they are in danger Of
regarding success as being deter
mined solely by their wealth. He
did not propose to teach them
how to succeed in becoming rich,
even if he were competent to do it,
but said he, if in their vocabulary
success means to fill life with
brave and honest deeds, to build
their names in the history of their
names, and to go down at length
to their rest in their grave amid
the regrets of the wise and the
good, SO that a grateful posterity
should arise around their tombs,
and lay their offerings of gratitude
upon them, it was competent for
him to say now with industry,
purpose and will, even those who
are not gifted with the largest en-
dowments of genius may acquire
q measure of success. That man
succeeds in life who is able to ex-
tract from it all the enjoyments,
and to reap from it all the profit
which belongs to him and his own
station; that man succeeds in life
who places this world in its right
relation to the next, and stands,
as it were, upon the edge of the
two planes as they touch each
other, looking to the splendid
realities of the splendid and eter-
nal future realizes that the pres
emit, the earthly and the temporal
is the seed time of harvest which
he is in the grand and splendid
future to reap. Those men attain
the most eminent success, in the
broad use of that word, who are
prepared to enter upon life and
to grapple with its duties with a
solid, forceful and massive charac-
ter. What are the constituents
which enter into a vigorous and
manly character? The first of
these elements is a solid integrity.
Principle, high moral principle
must be laid by him who under
takes to raise the superstructure
of a grand character, as the only
foundation upon which it can sol

and solid VIII. Without Will
there is nothing. And he too,
who expects to succeed in life
must have faith-faith in his God,
faith in himself and faith in his
kind. There never was hero on
the globe who was not made he
roic by the power Of his faith. lie
is a hero that is elevated by his
faith upon a plain higher than
the generation to which he be-
longs. Another element in the
formation of a right character, is
self-abnegating. The man that is
GREATS the man who consecrates
the whole of his earthly life with
high and generous purposes, and
lives for these purposes. The Re-
deemeG presented before the gaze
of the world a grand type of hu
mainly, and expressly said the son
of man came not to be miniStered
unto but to minister. All earth's
heroes have been earth's servants.
Let not young men men go forth
in spirit Of self-aggrandisement,
but go forth in the spirit Of their
Divine Master-doing good, and
their eulogy pronounced over their
tents be found in the tears of re-
gretful sorrow, which the widow
and the orphan shall shed over
their dust. The young men of
this generation come in a most
critical moment Of their country's
history. What this country needs
is character, not talent, not gem
us-except as that genius and that
talent may be needful to guide
and direct that character. The
excrueiating want Of the age is
men Of force, men of unfinching
integrity, men who by the breadth
and the power of their principles
shall crush down the demoraliza-
ton of the times, that shall com
pei the pride and the hypocrisy,
and the bribery to corruption of
these days to hide themselves like
the bats in their places Of dark
ness. He had no hope for his
country, unless the character Of
the young men who are about to
step forth upon the platform Of
action should be such ~ he Lad
attempted to describe.
| Had he Il voice loud as ten fold
thunder, he would send it pealing
over the length and breadth of
this continent-over its mountains
aud valleys-summoning the
young men Of this broad land to
the front, in this hour of their
country's peril, to stand for duty,
stand for truth, stand for right,
stand for principle Standing for
these, their country shall have a
glorious prosperity in the ages
that are hidden behind the cur
tain.

with its generous impulses, must
be educated to embrace that
which is right, and beautiful, and
true; one must have a stern in
tegrity that can never be seduced
by the Establishments Of life; an
integrity that can never be cor
rupted by the brides of society,
and an integrity that can never
be intimidated by the sneers and
scofings Of the profane and
vicious. The danger to the young
in our large cities is two-fold in
reference to integrity of character
that in the overweening esti
mate of wealth they shall imagine
reputation is q thing which can
be put into the market and bought
in the shambles at a market price.
Reputation is a thing which no
man shall ever buy; it is the spon
taneous homage of the honest rem
dered to the honest; it is the Spon-
taneous tribute by the brave to
the brave; and as young men go
forth to grapple with the enter
prises of life and with it's strong
temptation, they must have the
discernment by which they can
penetrate the hollowness of that
false worship which mere idolatOrs
of gold pay to him who has amass-
ed through chance, may be
through industry, the wealth in
which he rejoices. There is an
other mistake into which the
young in large cities are liable to
fall they regard morality as a
thing purely conventional, and
not having its foundation fixed
upon broad and immutable pTin-
ciples; and they altogether over
look the underlying unity of vir-
tue and the corresponding under
lying unity of vice. Virtue is
simply manhood. Young men
must guard themselves against the
impression that they can be viz
tuous upon one side Of their char
acter, and as absolutely vicious on
the other side. Entering into Il
vigorous and forceful character,
there must be the most profound
connection OF truth. Truth must
be sought alone for her own pre-
ciousness, and must be held to the
soul by the love with which it is
cherished. There never can be in
any sphere Of life a noble man
that is not truthful, and no man
was ever truthful who did not
carry through life profound con-
victions of that truth, and was
willing to testify for it in face of
misfortune, reproach, ignominy,
and even death. Then it is a
great lesson for young man in a
great city to learn that he must
educate himself. The city is itself
an imperial university, and one
cannot walk through these streets
without passing through an edu-
cation by which he is made sharp,
astute and shrewd. The intellect
must be educated, and the affec.
tons cultivated. Character must
be distributed broadly over the
face of society, and one must new
er suffer his heart to become NOR
bid by disappointment or by tolls
he is called to pass through il
educating himself amidst the
stern realities of the city world
God almighty never called any
man, fairly and honestly, without
self-seeking, and without obtru
siveness to any trust but he made
him equal to it. The element
