Maple Leaves.

Turning brown, turning goldeu--fall-
ing gently to earth with every breath Of
autumn air-dying your autumn death,
as the old man dies when the autumn Of
human life is reached The frost has
withered you, and the soft fakes will
cover you over and blacken your golden
tints, and the heel of man will grind
your dust into the earth. Clinging to
life, nesting yet closer to twig and branch
as you feel the frosty touch, you cannot
stay the seasons march. The strong
wind will seek you out, every one, and
you must fall to earth, and be forgotten,
just as the bravest and best are laid away
to moulder out of recollection. Through
the busy streets, along the winding path
of the country wood, over the brown,
bleak meadows robbed of green, the gale
will scatter you afar, until some eddying
gust mercifully whirls you into corner
for the slumber of decay. Oh leaves,
brown leaves and golden, falling and
dying, you are true embems of human
life. Fading, even as we grow old, cling
ing as we clutch to life, though it be full
of heart aches, falling as we all fall when
life is no more, and the grave is ready
to keep guard over our long, last sleep.
We shall soon forget you and will look
at the leahess branches, moaning and
tossing in the gale with no more than
single thought that you lived brief life.
The bravest of to-day are the unremem-
bered dead of tomorrow

Temperance Fable.

The rats once assembled in large Gel
lar to devise some method Of safely get
ting the bait from steel trap which lay
near, having seen numbers of their friends
and relatives snatched from them by its
merciless jaws. After many long speech
es and the proposal of many elaborate
but fruitless plans, a happy wit, standing
erect said: af
I" 1t is my opinion, that if with one
paw we can keep down the spring, we
can safely take the food from the trap
with the other" ac. ,,lru
All the rats present, loudly squealed
assent. They then were startled by q
faint voice, and poor rat, with only
three legs, limping into the ring, stood
up to speak: Ho4
"My friends, | have tried the method
you propose, and you see the result Now
let me suggest a plan to escape the trap.
Let Il oione." .p.t.I

JudiciOus Praise.

No heart is insensible to words of
praise, or the kindly smile of appreciation;
and none are utterly above being effect
ed by censure or blame. Children are
particularly sensitive in this respect.
Nothing can discourage child more than
spirit of incessant fault-fnding; and
perhaps nothing can exert a more baneful
influence upon both parent and child. If
your little one, through the day, has been
pleasant and obedient, and you say to
him, My son, you have been good to-
day, and it makes me very happy;" and
if, with mere than usually affectionate
embrace, you say, "Good night, my dear
child" throb Of suppressed feeling fills
his breast, and he resolves on always earn
ing such approval. your grown son or
daughter have accomplished some diff
cult piece Of work, rendering you essen
tial assistance; or have climbed some
steep in the daily drill of study; or have
acquired some new accomplishment, or
added grace; or, better than all, have gain
ed the victory over some bad habit or
besetting sin-acknowledge it, see it,
praise them for it. Let them see by
your added tenderness, the deep joy and
comfort it gives you. Thus you will
create great incentive to right conduct,
and lay broad foundation for character
which shall be redolent with succulent
fruit and fragrant blossoms.

A KnottI Problem.

A Western debating society are trying
to decide the following
Suppose brother and sister-the man
80 years old. the girl 5-this makes the
man seven times as old as the girl-they
live together until the girl is ten years
this makes him 40 years old, aud four
times as old ms the girl they still live
until she is 10, the man being 45--this
makes the man three times ms oldj they
still live until she is 30 years old---this
makes the man go, only twice as old, aud
so on. Now, how long would they have
to live to make the girl MS old as the
man?

Cause and Effect.

Ono kernel is felt in a hogshead; one
drop Of water helps to swell the ocean a
spark of fire helps to light the world.
You are small man passing amid the
crowd you are hardly noticed; but you
have drop, spark within you that may
be felt through eternity Do you believe
itY Set that drop in motion, give wings
to that spark, and behold the results 1t
may remove the world None are too
small, too feeble, too poor, to be of SER
vice. Think of this, and act. Life is
no trihe.

Ashamed Of the Picture.

The writer was told by one bearing the
honered name of Bonar that when a
young man in an Office, he was greatly
shocked with the language of the young
men beside him. One evening when they
were conversing together unknown to
them he copied their light and profane
language, and then showed it to them
written out Even they we're ashamed
their own words when they saw them?
