CURIOSITY.
From the Whitehall Forum.

From the Whitehall Forum.
There is a peculiar class of peopie
always waiting for something to turn
up" A great many singular things have
turned up, but to no ones advantage.
Our thoughts have no influence upon the
future, but our acts make and create it.
There are thousands of young men who
are always planning, but never execut-
ing ; always thinking but never perform
ing. Their lives are spent lettering about
taverns, beer-saloons and places of fire
quent resort by the wording and profit
gate, all the time conjecturing what
will be without honest toll. wv ork, ="
is not once named in their brief calen-
dar. But witches, signs, beer shops,
whiskey-jugS. fancy dogs, fast horses and
fast institutions generally, and the unre-
yealed things of the future, figure large
ly in their intellects. Indeed, it is to be
feared that if an intelligent idea were to
enter the craniums Of would be great
ones, 1t would explode as soon as a pound
of powder would o pumpkin. They live
upon the foam and tro:h of trashy and
fashy literature drink the dregs and
scum from the sinkholes and cess pools of
a desperately wicked life, and when death
aomes,it is but the fading out of a waste
full existence.
Young mani you can make your own
fortune. 1t is a fact, wv hatsoever man
soweth, that shall he also reap" If YOU
desire peaceful future, arched with MANY
bow OF promise, SOW the seeds of right
eouSnesS and correct living. Set your
mark high. Aim to be somebody In life.
While the young fop is perembulating
the streets in wonderous pretensions, or
revealing in some floating hell, robbed in
purse and character, the honest and in
dustrous, sober-minded and noble heart
ed youth will hammer out an excellent
reputation at the forge, upon the farm or
in the marts of business.

Mrs. Stowe on Marriage.

1t has been assurredly very surprising
some people who really at heart have the
interest Of woman on their minds, have
been so short sighted and reckless as to
clamor for an easy dissolution of the
marriage contract as a means of right
ming their wrongs Is it possible that
thew do not see that this Is liberty
which, when once granted, would az
WAYS tell against the weaker sex!
If the woman who finds that she has
made mistake, and married u man I'M
Alind or uncogenial, may, on the discovery
Pbf it, leave him and. seek her fortune
with another, so may also man. Aud
what will become of women when the
first gliding begins to wear OH, when the
men VINO have taken them shall be at
liberty to cast them off and seek others
Have we not now enough of broken
winged butterflies, that sink down, down
down into the mire of the streets But
ar woman reformers going to clamor
for having every women turned out Eelp-
les; when the man who has married her
ana made her mother, discovers that
she ,ad not the power to interest him
and 80 help his higher spiritual develop
ment?
1t was because the woman was help
less and weak, and because Christ was
her great protector. that He made the
law of marriage irrevocable: 'Whoso-
ever putteth away his wife causeth her
to commit adultery" If the sacredness
of the marriage contract did not hold, if
the Church and all coed men and all
good women did not uphold it with all
their might and main, it is easy to see
where the career Of many women like
Lille would end.
Men have the rower to reflect before
the choice is made, and that is the only
proper time for reflection. But, when
once marriage is made and consummated
it should be as fixed fact as the laws
of nature. And they who suffer under
its stringency should suffer as those who
endure for the public good. ''He that
sweareth to his own heart, and changeth
not, he shall not enter into the taberna-
Gle of the Lord"

Singing in Families.

The custom Of singing in families is
one that cannot be too much encom aged
A love for music inculcated in early years
is hard to efface in after life, and often
restraints US from that which otherwise
might gain the upper hand. A lady re-
Gently sal that. when a little girl, she
had learned hundreds of hymns and 20
etical illusions not of childish, but of
pure and elevated character. This early
discipline. she says, has been safegual d
to all her life, a preservation against sin
and folly. Among the families of Ger
many In years agoue, it was a common
practice with the parents TO teach their
their children hymns and spiritual songs
The children had thus useful employment
afforded them to fill up the time which
would have been spent in idleness, if not
in something worse. Frequent repeti-
tions of them at intervals prompted to
efforts to connect the poetry to music,
and this gradually led them TO acquire a
taste ard cultivate a talent for singing
To this simple practice may be attribut-
ed, in great degree, the finely cultivated
musical talent of German people. The
influence of music of social character
have always been very happy indeed.
Show us the family where good music is
cultivated. where the parents of children
are accustomed often 20 mingle their vote
es together in song, and we will show
you one, in almost every instance, where
peace. harmony and love prevail, and
where the great vices have no abiding
place.

A Family without a Newspaper.

Nothing presents sadder commentary
upon the present condition Of our loved
and prosperous country, than the large
number of families, both in the city and
country, but more especially in the latter
that subcribe for no paper of any kind.
But who can tell the vast amonunt of
injury that is being inflicted upon the
rising generation growing up without
knowledge of the present, the past, or
any study of the future, and the ignor-
ance, too, being i'm bused into them by
the sanction Of those who should, and
doubtless do know better, did they only
think Of the injurious effects of their in
sane course. Let the head of every fam
lily think of this, the means Of acquiring
thorough knowlede Of the moving pa
norama In which we enact our art.

SALOONS We get accustomed to
some things that are very singular and
by long familiarity they loose their novel
ty, and cease to attract attention. 1t is
so with a saloon. Why is it the saloon
keepers do not keep their front windows
open and expose their glass decanters of
various colored spirits to the eye of the
passers by, like the ordinary merchant :?
Livery saloon Is carefully curtained and
darkened. so that none but those within
may see what Is going on. If it was
show or circus. this would not be any
thing out of the way, but when men are
aAlous to sell, Is 1t not strange that they
40 not hang out a more attractive sign
than a green curtain ? Query Is it be
cause they and their customers are
ashamed of such nefarious business

The Panama Star tells the following
story of canine sagacity: When the dog
wishes to cross river where aliigators
abound, he goes up the stream a good
ways and banks with all his might; the
alligators go there and wait for his get
ting in to swim across. The dog knows
what he is about; when be sees from the
number of shouts above the water that
his enemies have all gathered to the
feast, he runs down the bank as fast as
he can, and swims across before the ALI
gators are aware of the trick that has
been played upon them.

Sixty years, my gentle Vile,

Down the rugged road of life.
From the hills of Spring we started.
And through all the Summer land,

We have journeyed land IN hand.

We have gathered in our harvest,
With rejoicing, long ago.

They are strong to sow and reap,
Through the quiet Winter lowlands

You and are passing through;
But the road lies straight before us,
And the miles are short and few:
No more danger to enccnnter-
No mole hills to climb, true friend,
Nothing now bss simple walking,
Til we reach our journeys end.
We have had our time of gladness:
Twas a proud and happy da
All the proudest of our journey,
When Felt that we coIrld say,
on the children God had given,
Looking fondly on the ten,
atLovely women are our daughters
Our sons are noble men!
We have had our time of sarrow-
9ur lime ofanXious fears,
When We could not see the milestones
Through the blindness of orr teas.
In the sunny Summer country.
Far behind us, little May
And Willie, tso, grew weary,
And We left them on the way.
Cheer thee cheer thee faithful hearted,

Spend WISELY Look most to your
spending. No matter what comes in, if
more goes out, you will always be poor.
The art is not in making money, but in
keeping it; little expenses like little mice
In a barn, when they are many make
great waste. Hair by hair heads get bald
Straw by traw the thatch goes off the cot
tage, and drop by drop the rain in the
chamber. A barrel is soon empty, if the
tap leaks but drop minute, When
you begin to save, begin with the mouth;
there are many thieves down the red lane.
The ale jug is great waste. In all 9th
er things keep within compass. In
clothes choose suitable and lasting stuff,
and not tauoy fnerys. To be warm is
the main thing never mind the looks
Never stretch your legs further than the
blanket will reach, or you will soon be
cold. A fool may make money, but it
needs wise man to spend it. Remem-
Der it is easier to build two chimneys than
to keep one going. If you give all to
back and board, these if nothing left for
the saving bank. Fare hard and work
hard while you are young, and you have
chance to rest when you are old

CURIOUS ANAGRAMs. Below we give

An exchange saws.

ny eACIIdHSe says.
Whether all the people. or but a few,
consent to licensing rum shops. or permit
free trade in alcoholic poisons, they are no
less sins against the laws of God and of
right. They are condemned by the eter
nal law of righteousness, and, as in the
case of slavery, neglect to meet the evil
in time, will bring as a cor sequence d.
vine retribution. Drunken nations, like
drunken individuals. cannot violate the
laws Of the Most High with impunity.-
They are punished for their reckless de-
fance Of truth, and the way of transgres-
sion is in the end found to be hard. Let
the People awake and be warned in due
season, and as properly prohibit by law.
Notwithstanding as they do arson, coun-
terfeiting and robbery"

THE NATURAL MAN-Parents assume
tbs mental darkness of their children,
and toll to teach them truths and even to
cultivate their taste. 1t is said that some
children spend half their young life over
the piano. Parents must assume also
their children's moral feebleness, and
struggle hardest of all to build up in their
young hearts true principles of virtue and
religion. The natural man understands
philosophy and mathematics as well as
he understands morals. The Indian will
rise up in the wild grass aud repeat the
axioms of geometry just as soon as he
will repeat the principles of honor and
virtue. Why teach our children geogra-
ply and leave them to speak morals out
of the wild grass? We are not born high
up in goodness and low down in Algebra
and Music. 1t is low down all around,
and he only can be successful who confes-
es the situation and struggles upward
alike in mind and in piety.-Rev. ID.

virtues and not the faults of those around
them 10 refrain from broeding over the
past, and study how the future may be
made bright and CHEEKY. We should keep
depression and low spirits at distance,
and not permit ourselves to indulge in
melancholy moods or repinings because
matters are not so and 30.
In this busy, bustling period, there is
great danger of men being worried by the
friction and wear and tear of business life,
into a chronic condition of irritability aud
peevisbness. In their eagerDess to acquire
wealth, they overtax their energies, en-
croach upon the necessary hours of sleep,
and become fretful, fidgety and waspish.
Those in large cities, particularly, should
be on their guard against falling into this
constant anxiety and apprehension
lest something Is going wrong. IL
Is an excellent resolution which
some make to leave the shop" behind
them when returning home at night, to
dispel all thoughts of the days cares and
anxieties, and surrender themselves to the
soothing, quieting influences which should
be found in every family circle Whoever
will do this is bound to be cheerful. Rest,
recreation, and participation in amuse
ments were designed by our Creator to
mind an body. Whoever refuses to recog-
nize this fact and conform TO it, will suffer
both mentally aud physically. How
much better il is for one to pass down to
old age with limited competence, feeling
that he has enjoyed life and contributed
to the enjoyment of others, than to secure
riches at the sacrifice of all the better in
stincts ofnature and all enjoyment! There
is no more pitiable object in the world
than the sordid, grabbed old man who has
devoted a lifetime to money get iug simply,
and sacrificed every trait of manhood in
his endeavors.
As cheeriulness is essential to happiness,
so regular habits and plenty of sleep are
essential to cheerfulness. We can not
violate physical laws with impunity. The
Almighty has arranged in his physical
autonomy that his creatures must have so
much rest and nourishment in order to
maintain health, and mental elasticity and
buoyancy. There is such an intimate re.
lation existing between the body and
mind, that the former can not be out of
gear without disarranging the latter
