Had he a Mother.

How does God seem to you wher
you try to prayP ! asked, of S. S
scholar.
He looked up rather sadly and
said, slowly.
i never prayed
'Never?' 1 said, wonderingly, 'Did
you never tryp
No. he answered, and sad, hun
cry look came into his eyes.
1 was sad, too, could only ex
claim.
What a sweet lesson you have
yet to learn
Some one who heard the strange
remark, asked me:'
Had he a mother? She surely
must have taught HIM Now 1 lay
me- or Our Father
Strange she did not, strange thai
she could allow him to say:
No one, not one, not even my
mother, ever taught me to pray
l hope there are few mothers il
this gospel land whose sons and
daughters can speak thus.
Oh, mothers, teach your children
to call on their heavenly Father, ever
il you cannot yourselves.
Try, best of all, to teach them by
example, so that in after life, in the
great hereafter, your sons ant
daughters may gladly say;
MY mother taught me to pray.

The Wife a Companion.

| Make a companion of her in the
fullest acceptation of the term, and
do not consider it beneath your dig
nifty to suit your conversation to hel
tastes and intellect. The price cur
rent may contain matter vastly more
pleasing to you, but it is very prob
able that your young wife would as
leave hear you discourse of other
matters than the price of cotton OF
the texture of broadcloth. Study
diligently the art of pleasing. Cul-
tivate those Thousand and one little
nameless attentions, which are so
much priced by the female sex, and
learn to take an interest to whatever
occupies her attention. Do not af-
feet an air of listless tolerating con
descension, when she is pointing
out the progress Of her embroidery,
and shun the treason of yawns as
she dwells upon the little details Of
her domestic government. These
hints may seem trifling, but the non
observance of them may be atten-
ded with the most serious results.
If we could anatomize the human
mind, how frequently would we dis
cover, that the seed from which the
upas tree of estrangement hath
sprung, is of scarcely perceptible
minuteness. Be as much at home as
possible. A pregnant source of dis
comfort in the nuptial state is un
settled habits of the husband in
this respect. Nothing can be more
CALLING, or disheartening to a young
wife, after the first few honey-months
have passed, than the frequent alb
sence of her spouse in the evenings.
A suspicion is Immediately excited
in her mind, that the flame of affec
tion begins to burn low, and that she
hath lost the power of pleasing, and
whenever this feeling occurs, the
risk is great, that the wish to please
will soon cease to exist. There is
no rule without an exception, but in
general, we would hold that young
husband should have few engage
ments of an evening, where his wife
did not accompany him. 1t is most
important to cultivate the habit of
domestic sociability, and the fire.
side will never have any charms if
they do not exist at the commence
of a union.

In a Predicament.

1t is very pleasant to be in love
sometimes, but quite annoying when
the tender feeling is accompanied
by those pretty drawbacks which
are sure to follow parental hostility.
Such at least is the experience of
one A. K, q youth whose heart has
softened and whose brain has grown
dizzy beneath the smiles of a c.
belle. Somehow or other her father
won't listen to his suit and clandes-
tine interviews have taken place in
a vacant lot in the rear of her resi-
dence. Seated on bench, close up
to the fence, they did bill and COO
fearlessly as two gentle turtle doves
But one evening, lately, their stolen
interviews were discovered by the
girls brother, a mslignat little
wretch, who out of their love deter
mined to extract some fun for him
self. With end in view he watched
for their next meeting; and, when
the were comfortably, seated on the
bench, he managed, without excit-
ing their suspicious, to draw
the gentleman's coat-tail and a
part of the lady's dress through
crack in the fence, and fastened
them to a post. This accomplished,
he retired a few PAGES, and then
screamed Justify for his father. AT
the first screech the lovers started
to run, but the post held them
fast.
Let me gor pleaded the lady.
The gentleman, quicker in expe-
dients threw his coat off and bound
ed away. Now, the lady couldn't
pull off her coat neither could she
unloose it. Her lover had LETT
her, her brother still screamed, and
she, like an ambitious dray-horse,
still tugged at the abdurate post:
The old man was by this time
heard approaching. But one course
was left. A desperate pull tore the
dress loose at the waist a skelton-
clad flew wildly across the lot
Somehow or other, the lovers
haven't met since.

And paying no heed to the rhyme
and little to the letters, he grasped

Clarice smiled her brightest when
Charlie called the next night, but he
fancied there was mischief in her
leyes, which, perhaps, was not all a
fancy. At the opera she talked and
laughed between the scenes in such
a way that he was quite bewildered.
He did not learn his fate, and after
he got home felt worse than ever.
| Next day he got letter from his
sister.

"but 1 could not well come on two

Charlie, dropping the missive to the
floor, and breaking out in a cold
perspiration. "Tve sent the letter
wrong, and now I've done it brown.

Driven to desperation at last he
mustered up courage and hurried to
Clarice's residence.

the servant who answered the bell.
"Yes," and he speedily found
himself in the parlor, and face to

floor would give way and -precipi-

Winter; rather liked it, 1 assure
you. You did not try your fate at
the opera though. Why didn't
you?'
How mischievous her eyes were
sparkling! A faint crimson dyed
her cheeks, and altogether Charlie,
looking at her slyly, thought he
saw her look so pretty.
But the annoyance"
at wasn't annoyance. 1 was

Charities heart thrilled suddenly
with hope. He took one step for

Good for Pat.

An Irishman, driven to despera-

Seeing Pat was rather green, he
said:
I'll tell you what I'll do-I'll

EDIToR JOURNAL: As I was passing the
cemetery at Clyde, not long since, 1 was
prompted to look on the spot, where lie the
ashes of our lsmented Mcpherson. There, 1
discovered foundation that had been placed
there evidently with the intention of adding
the superstruoture at some time. 1 have a
faint remembrance of having seen notice,
that there was in course Of erection at Nor
walk, monument that would be ready on the
18th Of September last, to place on the foun-
dation. It is now five months past the time
and there is no monument to be seen. The
query arose in my mind is it the builders mis-
calculation or was there not money enongh
raised7 If not, what are the msnagers doing
that they are not making an effort to raise the
required amountH If the money was raised
and the monument ready, why is it not placed
upon its foundationY An answer to these oues-

others as well as myself. QUERIsr.
