Marriage and Celibaoy.


No one need be afraid that, in mar
rying, he must so entangle himself
with the affairs of this life that he
shall necessarily be distracted by
them from the highest spiritual SER
vice of which the heart is capable;
that be must satisfy himself with low
er attainments in piety than he might
otherwise reach; or that he must be
contented to do less for the advance
nent of the divine kingdom than he
might otherwise do. No woman need
fear that the thought of husband and
family must necessarily keep her from
as close a communion with God as
she could maintain if single, or that
to be a good wife and mother is low
er sphere of service in the eyes of the
Almighty than the undivided work
which, if unmarried, it is at least pos
sible that she might give to others
All may look forward TO Christian
marriage as a sphere in which every
grace Of the Christian life may be ex-
hibited, and every duty Of the Christ
tian's service of his Lord performed !;
in which faithfulnesS, zeal, devotion,
spirituality of mind, and heavenly as
pirations may play as important a
part as in the celibate condition, while,
at the same time, by the new relations
in which it places the married, the
new obligations which it imposes up
on them, the new field which it sup
plies for the cultivation of the affec.
tions, for forgetfulness of self, for su-
preme regard for the interests of 9th
ers, for watchfulness, tenderness of
heart, the discipline of their own
character, and the moulding the char
acter of children, it opens up a deep.

and apart from peculiarities Of dispo-
sition and time, less perfect tone of

The Silly Young Rabbit.

There was young rabbit
Who had q bad habit
Sometimes he would do what his mother forbid,
And one frosty day
His mother did say:
my child you must stay in the brrrow close
hid"
For hear the dread sounds
Ofhuntsmen and hounds,
Who are searching around for rabbits like you.
Should they see you by your head
They would soon shoot you dead,
And the dogs would be of with you quicker than
boo.
But poor, foolish being,
When no one was seeing
Looking out from his burrow to take a short play,
lie hoped Ger the ground
With many a bound;
And looked around proudly as if he would say,
Do fear a man
Now catch who can
So this Young rabbit ran to a fine apple tree,
Where gnawing the bark,
he thought not to bark,
The coming Of hunters, so careless was he.
Now rs rabbits are good,
When roasted or stcwed,
A man came along hunting rabbits for dinner;
He saw little Bun
Then raised his big gun
And there he lay, dead, the foolish young sinner.

smoker, in fact, George has been
known to 90 to sleep smoking, and
have his pipe taken from his mouth
without waking him. One day last
week, Uncle G. found a pipe which he
supposed to be Georges; and the
old gentleman having known George
from the time when the memory of
that much respected individual "the
Oldest iDhabitant," runneth not back
to, made straight break for the
house, and seeing Mrs. B., asked:
"Is George dead ?"
"George dead y exclaimed Mrs. B.

"Why, 1 found his old pipe and it

Country Children.

Blue eyes and hazel eyes
Peep from the hedges,
Shaded by sun bonnets
Prayed at the edges
Up in the apple trees,
Needless Of danger,
Manhood in embryo
Stares at the stranger.
Out in the hilly patch
Seeking the berries
Under the orihard tree
Feasting on cherries
Tramp,ing the clover blossm
Down 'mong the grasses,
No voice to hinder them,
Dear lads and lasses.
Dear little innoceuts !
Born in the wildwood!
Oh, that al little ones
Had such a childhood!
Gods blue spread over them,
Gods green beleath them,
No sweeter heritage
Could we bequeath them.

A precious but modest little lady
of two summers was shown some pic

Slave.
"Mamma," inquired she, @is it a

"Well, you may call it boy" was
the reply.
Another look at the nude figure, the
young critic gravely said: "Boy, you
go and get your drawers as quick as
you can"
