THE GOLDEN SInE.


There IS many a rest in the road Of life
five could only stop and take it;
And many tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would make it.
To the sunny soul that is full Of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er failefh,
The grass is green and the flowers bright,
Though the winter storm Preva;leth.
Better t. hope tho the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eye still lifted;
For the sweet bh'e sky win soon peep thro'
When the omineus clouds are rifted.
There was never night without day,
Or an evening without morning;
And the darkest hour, as tho proverb says,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is not gem in the path Of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown,
Or the miser's hoard Of treasure,
It may be the love Of 8 little child,
Or a mothers prayer to heaven.
Or only beggar's grateful thanks
For q cup sf water given.
Better to weave in the web Of life
A bright and golden filing,
Aud to do Gods will with q ready heart
And hands that are ready and willing,
Than to snap the delicate minute threads
Of our curious lives asuuder;
And thus blame Heaven for the tangled end
And sit and grieve and wonder.

Fiffeen ErAat lEistakes.

It is a great mistake to set mp our
own standard Of right and wrong,
and judge people accordingly. 1t
is a great mistake to measure the en-
ioyment of others by our own; to
expect uniformity of opinion in this
world; to look for judgement and ex-
perience in youth; to endeavor TO
mould all dispositions alike; not to
yield immaterial trifes; TO look FOR
perfection in our own action; to wor-
ry ourselves and others with what
cannot be remedied: not to alleviate
all that needs alienation as far as
lies in our power; not to make al
Iowances for the infrmities of others
and consider every thing impossible
which we cannot perform; to believe
only what our finite minds can COM
prehend; to expect to understand
every thing. The greatest of all
mistakes is, to live for time when
any moment may launch US into
eternity. ef

he tenderly loved. Duty obliged
the rabbi to take a journey to a dis

his two promising boys sickened

"The Man Who Drinks. y


The man who drinks is never, in
the end, 'the man who laughs. -
He is generally the man who weeps
or for whom others must shed bit
ter tears. He is, alas a member of
no particular class of society. You
meet him everywhere, from the
lowest to the highest places of this
world, and always find not only his
own worst enemy, but the uncon-
scious enemy of all who trust in
him.
If, among a band of hard work
ing mechanics, you find one who,
on wages others deem sufficient for
decent clothes, tidy rooms and COM
Portable dinners, is always out at
elbows, always at loggerheads with
his landlord, and always complain

If, on the Judges bench you meet
a man who deals unjustly, who
Judges unrighteously. who is face
tious in the presence of misery and
makes crime a jest, and the sentence
of some poor wretch an excuse for
stupid puns and vulgar witticisms,
there, also, you may know the man
who drinks-in his own snug little
room perhaps, not openly, but all
the same, a drunkard.

A GREAT SECRET.
BIZ ALICE CAREY.

Ny friend, here's a secret
By which you may thrive;
am fifty years cid,
And my wlfs's forty-fye-
A queen among beauties,
The wedding guests said,
When we went to the church
With the priest, and were wed.
That's thiity long years past;
H3 And 1 can avow d
She was no more q beauty
To me then, than nowl
For never the seath of a
Petulent frown
Has ploWed with it's burrows
.G Her young roses down; .f
And still, like girl, when
Her praises speak,
Her heart fairly bushes 4
Itself through her cheek.
Her smile is more tender
For being less bright;
And the little bit powder
That makes her hair white, Gs
And all the soft patience
That shows through her face,
e In my eyes are only
Lake grace upon grace.
For still we are lovers
As ! am alive.
Though I, sir, am fifty
And shes iorty-fve!
And hs-e's half the secret
meant to unfold;
She don't know, my friends,
Not the least, how to scold!
Nor does she get pettish,
And sulk to rout;
So, since we fell in love,
We never fell outi
And here's the full secret
That saves us from strife;
kept her a sweetheart,
In making her a wifel
And if you but wed on
Ny pattern, you'll thrive;
For I,sir, am fifty,
My wife, forty-dvs!

Safe Maxims for All.

The world estimates men by
their success in life, and, by general
consent, success is evidence of su-
periority. Never under any cir
cumstances- assume a responsible
ty you can avoid consistently with
your duty to yourself and others
Base your actions upon a principle
of right; reserve all your integrity
Of character in doing this; never
reckon on the cost. Remember
that self interest is more likely to
warp your judgment than all other
circumstances combined; therefore
look well to your duty when your
duty is concerned Never make
money at the expense Of your re-
putation. Be neither lavish or
niggardly-of the two avoid the
latter-a mean man is universally
despised; but public favor is a
a stepping stone to preferment-
therefore generous feelings should
be cultivated. Let your expenses
be such as to have a balance in your
| pocket-ready money is a friend in
need. Keep clear Of law, for When
you gain your case, you are gene
rally aloser Of money. Never re.
late your misfortunes and never
I grieve over what you cannot pre-
vent. No man who owes as much
as he can pay, has any moral right
to pledge his credit by endorsing

NJ az of Thinking.

One of the best modes of ina.
proving the art Of thinking Is 20
think over some subject before you
read upon it, and then observe af.
ter what manner it has occurred TO
the mind of the great master. You
viii then observe whether you have
been too rash or too timid, what
you have omitted and In what sou
have exceeded, and 1y this process
you will iRsensibly catch ina great
manner of viewing a question. It
is right in study, not only to think
whenever any extraordinary incl
dent provol1es you to think, but
from time to time what has passed;
to dwell upon it, and TO see what
trains of thought voluntarily pre-
sent themselves to the mind. II Is
a most superior habit Of some
minds to refer all particular truths
which strike them to other truths
more general, so that their knoEl-
edge is beautifully methodized; and
the general truth at any sine sug-
/ gests all the particular exemplifca-
tion at once leading TO the general
truth. This kind Of an under
standing has an immense and de-
cided superiority ever those cOR-
fused heads in which one fact IL
well piled upon another without
the least attempt At classification
and arrangement. Some men al
ways read with a pen IN their hand,
and commit 10 paper any new
Thought which strikes them others
trust TO chance for sreappearanee
Which Of these Is the best method
In the conduct OF the understand
ing. must, I suppose, depend a great
deal upon The particular under
standing ia question. Some men
can do nothing without preparation,
Others Iittle with It; some are foun-
tains. some reservoirs.
