The Lesson Of Life.

/ When every thing is counted, II
will be found that the sum total OF
our lives resolves itself into but
two things-a anticipation and mem.
ory. The pleasures and misctles OF
the moment ere ephemeral, and
only TO be taken note OF as they
leave their record In the past. In
youth life is richest in anticipation
but as years roll on, the mind &C.
quires the habit of looking bnck.

there is nothing left this side OF
the grave. Fortunate is that man
who, in the midst of the cares and
tm'moils Of busy and often un-
satisfactory life, has happy child

ing flowers and innocent amuse-
ments.
Whoever robs a child of these,
robs him Of more than he can ever
return to him in any other shape.
A close, hard, narrow life, lived in
childhood, not only dwarfs, the fu-
ture man. $ whole moral and affec.
tionate nature. but leaves him no
memories to fall back upon when
the present is unsatisfying. Make
your little child happy. Provide
for him what enjoymcn's You can,
be they great or small, and be-
grudge no money that you can
spare him in securing him these -
In doing this you are not only Civ

a great deal, as in youth impres-
sions are stronger and more rapid.
ly received, and the capacity for
enjoyment consequently greater;
but you are really laying up a store
of happiness for him in memories
which shall last him all his life
Let the atmosphere which sur
rounds your children be so impreg-
mated with affection that they shall
breathe it in, as it were, at every
inspiration, and their hearts will
grow larger and their blood run the
clearer and purer for it.
Let your own lives, mothers and
fathers, be so upright and pure,that
when you have passed away, your
memories shall be enshrined in
their hearts and q halo will sur
sound them like the aureoia ofa
saint. Sitting, my friend, by the
evening fireside; sitting in your
easy chair at rest, and looking at
lie warm light on the rosy face Of
rour little boy or girl sitting on the
'ug before you, 30 you ever won
Ter what kind Of remembrances
hose little ones will have of you,
f God spares them to grow old?
Look into the years to come think
Of that smooth face roughened;
that curly hair gray, grown care
worn and sad, and you long to be
in your grave. OF course your
son will not have forgotten you;
he will sometimes think and speak
of his father who has gone. What
kind of remembrance will he have
of you?

THE POOR.


The poor Gods poor oh, help them
Keen blows the wintry blast,
Aud through the daFkoned air, the sn0y
Is falling thick and fast
1t driiteh through the broken panes,
And through the shattered door,
o Christian friends, remember them,
And help, oh, help Gods poor
The p0or-God's poor oh, help them
Look at their fearful eyes,
AS winters long and gloomy days
Before their vision rise.
Go to their cherries dwellings,
Tighten their heavy load.
And I'LL with JOY and thankiulness
Their desolate abode.
The poor-GOd's poorl oh, help theml
The Saviour here was poor;
He had not where to lay his head;
No sumptuous garb he wore;
A sad and weary wanderer
Upon Judea's hills,
He ate the bread of charity,
Drank from the sparkling rills.
The poor-God's poor! oh, help them
For earth must pass away,
And rich and poor all equal stand,
At the last awful day,
So shall the blessed words OF Christ
Be spoken unto thee;
"E'en as ye did it to my poor,
Ye did it ntO me-"

MUTUAL FoRBEARANcE.-lf we
wish 10 succeed in life we must
learn to take men as they are, and
not as they ought to be; making
them better if we can, but at the
same time remembering their in
firmities. We haye to deal, not
with the ideal man of dreaming
poets, but with the real men OF
everyday life, men precisely like
ourselves. This fact of common
aims, ambitions, and in6rmities
ought to create constant sympathy
and forbearance. While every
man has his own burden to bear,
he may at the same time in some
wav help another to hear his pecu-
liar burden. and be himself helped
in turn. God has mysteriously
linked all men together by this
curious fact of mutual dependence,
and this wonderful possibility OF
mutual help.

this unexpected turn i'll affairs, and the
tender and gushing mother, rushing up to
her shock-headcd and uncouth barbarian
of darling, throws her arms arouud him
and declares that mammals boy shall not
be driven from bis own loved home in any
such way. This is picturesque; especially
50 in neighbor Bull.
While tho game has been played thus
handsomely en- the side Of the paternal
Britisher, our greedy and, on the whole,
rather stupid annexationsts have done
what they could to mar their own plot and
to aid Mr.. Bulls. They seem to be trying
to bully the provinces into the Union.
Perhaps they don't quite mean to whip
them in; but there is good deal of un-
necessary shaking of fists and squaring Of
shoulders going on. Ali this has had its
effect on the minds of the colonists, and
has been turned to good account by the
thoroughly English party. Some time ago
it seemed from all the information that
could be obtained, that the people of British
Columbia were sincerely in favor of annexa-
ton TO the United States but is now an
nounced that the citizens OF the Dominion OF
Canada are using every means at their
command to influence the English commits
sioners 10 refuse the cesson of the Pacific
provinces in satisfaction of the Alabama
claims, if it should be demanded on our
side. The British Government is proba-
bly, not at all adverse to seeing such dis
play of loyalty among the Canadians.
Whether it feels the importance of the Pa
cifc colonies as keenly as the Canadians
do, does not fully appear; and even if it
did, other and weightier considerations
might cause willingness to part with
them. 1t is believed by many intelligent
persons that England, in adjusting her dis
putes with us, is stripping for the inevita-
bic contest, just ahead of her, with Russia,
for the safety and permanenco of her col
onial system in Asia.
AS the latter power eeded Alaska to us
in consideration of love and friendship, and
seven millions of dollars, England might
be willing to bid for our sympathies by
outdoing Russia ia generosity on the same
coast. TO liquidate the Alabama claims
by the cession of British Columbia might,
among tho chances of the great coming
struggle, turn out to be a master-stroke Of
policy for England. That province is in a
very exposed situation. and, in any real
crisis of her destiny, like that which now
seems to be coming upon her, could scarce
ly be worth so much to England as the
cordial friendship aud hearty sympathy of
the people Off the United States. However,
we shall soon see what we are to see.
