The Hurry to get into Business.


One feature which distinguishes The
present time, socially considered, i:
the hurry among the younger portion
of the community to enter into bust
ness on their own account. The am
bition is commcndable enough wher
placed under proper res,ra int until OK
erted at the proper time and in tho
proper direction. Such All ambition
is the motive power Of we'll doing i,
the struggle for position and for pre-,
fermcut. In no country in the worlc
does the young man enter usually Sc
soon upon the responsibilities of busi
ness management, chiefly from the
fact in no other has be the same op.
portunities afforded him of entering
and filling situations involving self.
dependence and requiring the fulles,
measure Of self-guidancc. The cx.
pcnse Of the field of commercial enter.
prise in Amcrica is so great and so far
spread that many of our business men
arc called at an early age to take
an active part 10 the matters which
IN other less favored countries would
be entirely in the hands Of the woro
experienced, and of those who had
served a considerable initiatory pro.
baton to the duties they are called
upon to fulfil. This arises from the
neccssi ties of the case, the paths to
competency and to fortune in the
Old World being for the most part
already parcelled out, we'll trod-
den, and arranged for slow and stead y
gradation. There it is generally the
part of the younger memters of the
commercial immunity to wait and
to wait patiently. Here it often hap-
pens that a place is vacant which
with fair discretion may be filed to
advantage by the young. Perhaps
the occasion calls for it, us the best
expedient at the time. In the
gradual development of the UuitcI
States this has been so universally
the case that tone of early enter
prise charactcrizcs the majority of
the class. On the whole the effect
has been beneficial in exciting an in
dependent spirit and in leading to
habits Of self-reliance. But self.reli-
ancc is subject sometimes to de-
generate into presumption, and an in~
dependent spirit to be transformed
into spirit of rashness. Qualities
in themselves admirable are apt to
become perverted through want of
balance and SELF, control. 1t should
be remembered that while the good
qualities above ,eferred to are neces
sary aud called for in every posi-
tion in life, there nre others no less
indispensable in most Of the situations
which young men are usually called
to fill, especially in our large towns.
judgement, patience, watchiulncSs,
and sobriety Of action are more Ger.
tain in the long run than quick wit
or uncontrolled energy. The dispo-
Sitiom so prevalent to enter quick ly
into basiuess can only be combattcd
by an appeal to the self interest ei
those disposed to risk all upon the
first apparent opportunity. 1t is
worthy Of consideration that ill-ad.
vised enterprise ending In failure does
not leave tho individual where it
round him. Lost time is not the only
drawback, but is SURG to be accompan.
led by loss of prestige, credit and
com mer eial moral.

IMPROVE YOUR TALENTS.

"Take the talent from him. and give it UNI
to him which hath ten talents" Matt. XIV
2S.) 1t seems on first reading the parable,
as though the neglected talent would have
been more fttingly bestowed on the occupicr
Of the Ave than of the ten, this latter hav-
ing already enough. Our Lord, who knew
what was in man, represents the bystander as
having no thought. But the talents are in-
tended to signify spiritual gifts; aud of
these it is indisputable that the more man
possesses, the more he shall go on to acquire.
Spiritual wealth has, like temporal, power
of self.accumulation. whatsoever hath, to
him shall be given and whosoever hath not,
from him shall be taken even that which he
seemeth to have"
Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1872-11-22

is great practical mistake. There are two
books Of revelation, book of nature and
the book Of Gods speech to mans spirit.
When the latter succeeded the former, il did
not intend TO push the religion derived from
nature away forever, but to supplement it,
Both are to be retained by us, only one nat
urally was to be higher than the other. But
the overwhelming Importance given to spir-
itual religion has removed out of the sphere
Of our religious thought the religion of ma
ture. Consequently, the study Of nature by
scientific men, and the contemplation of ma.
ture by poetic men, have both become ire
ligious. Stopford A. Brooke.

SAFE IN THE HARBoR.

Often, us we sit in the twilight musiug
over the past, memory calls up the face of
one and another who has crossed our life
pathway for brief space, and then we have
lost sight of them forever. We wonder
where they are and what has been their his.
tory, and if we shall ever meet again. If
our hearts are spiritually alive, deep yearn.
ing fills them for the souls Of these friends,
and we long to meet them on the shores of
Heaven.
A British man.of.War was once sent to
convoy a little sloop with costly lading, from
the Cape of Good Hope to England. They
sailed together for a time, but in terrible
storm they became separated. The captain
of the great ship was sad, for he feared some
disaster had befallen his little friend. Ev-
cry time he thought of it, it was with heavy
breath. But when he entered the harbor Of
Portsmouth, and the fog lifted, there was the
little craft safely anchored along side of him.
1t had got home first
just such surprises there will one day be
in the heavenly harbor. We shall meet
those who have passed from Cur sight and
knowledge here, and together rejoice in sing
ing the new song. If We are faithful to the
souls of those we meet with, we shall expe-
rience double joy and surprise in learning
that our efforts were blessed to their saliva
ton. Many sad-hearted Sunday school
teacher who here saw no fruit Of her la5ors
will there find precious banks anchored be-
side her, over which she has wept and pray
cd as she thought in vain. A good old man
once said that when he got to Heaven he
should no doubt have three great surprises.
One would be that he did not see some there
he expected would be there another would
be that he saw some there whom he did
not expect to see; but the greatest
surprise of all that he was there himself.

THE RELIGION OF OUTWARD
NATURE.

In our ardOr for spiritual religion we have
neglected too much the religion which springs
from nature, Spiritual religion alone leaves
part of our nature unsatisded, all that large
region Of imagination and feelings which are
kindlod into awe and joy by the influences of
natural beauty, by the activity and change,
by the passion and calm of nature. The po-
cts have seized on this region and made it
their own, and it might be called the region
of natural poetry. 1t has lost its true name,
which is, the region of the religion of nature.
1t is considered as the realm in which beauty
and sublimity, and hundred other abstrac-
tions are revealed it has ceased, practically,
to be considered as the realm in which God
is revealed. We cODfne the revelation Of
God to the spiritual truths disclosed in Chris
tianity. 1t is not toe much to say that that

GODS FATHERHooD.

AS the twilight comes on, the domesticity
of our nature makes itself more felt. We
are not now ourselves alone we are part of
that sweet family circle in which we sit
part of it in love and tenderness and mutual
sympathy. Meditation is not so much lone
illness of thought, as thought realizing close
association with others
In certain sense we are never so near our
friends as when we sit with them separated
only By silence-whcn our hearts 60 out to
meet theirs in that silent communion which
forbids all speech Then we are indeed as
children of one parent, and God is our faith
err, in fatherhood so near and helpful, so
complete and satisfying, that its recognition
lifts us gladly heavenward.
And sitting here 10 the shadow, with our
home tokens all about US, it is comforting to
whisper softly those sweet words Of the
psalmist-"Likc as father pities his chill
dren, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him"
The human side of Gods love speaks out in
this. For is it rroverent to think of God as
loving with somewhat of human affection
Can we not gain some little idea Of Divine
Fatherhood from comprehension Of father
hood not divine
But Gods FatherhOod is infinite in its
many-sidedness, aud on that account we fail TO
measure it, The preacher we'll said, this
morning, 81 will accept no man. idea of the
whole heavens, which simply takes in the lit.
tie thereof that he can see from his narrow
chamber window" The Infinite Fatherhood
is more than il seems to US. The relations OF
one child to the parent, are not the relations
of all the children. Temperaments differ,
dispositions are diverse. To you, God may
seem TO be Justice, and vow may fear Him,
knowing your sins. To another, He may
stand as Holiness, and impurity may shrink
from His presence To yet another lie may
appear only Love, and trusting faith may
lose itself in His great affection.
The Fatherhood of God includes all these
and even more. Yet, while we must all re-
alze, in some degree, Gods justice, his holt
ness, we need not to keep these ever fore
most in our mind when thinking Of Him.
The justice and the holiness need not shut us
out from that Over-brOoding love which watch
es ever for our coming. Gods love and pity
are as broad as humanity-aye, broader than
that-as broad as the great Divine Nature
in which they live evermOre, from which they
freely flow.

AFTERwARD.

Now, the sowing and the weeping,
Working hard and waiting long
Aterward, the golden roaping,
Harvest home and grateful song.
Now, the pruning, sharp, unsparing,
Scattered blossom, bleeding shoots
Afterward, the plenteous bearing
OF tho Masters pleasant fruit.
Now, the plunge, the briny burden,
Blind, faint groupings in the seal
Afterward, the pearly guerdon,
That shall make the diver free.
Now, the long and toilsome duty,
Stone by stone to carve and bring
Afterward, the perfect beauty
or the palace Of the King.
Now, the turning and the tension,
Wailing minors, discord strong;
Aftorward tho grand ascension
0fthe Alleluia song.
Now, the spirit, conaict-riven,
Wounded heart, unequal strifoi
Afterward, the triumph given,
And tie victor's crown of life.
Now, the training, strange and lowly,
Unexplained and tedious now
Afterward, the service holy,
And the Masters "Enter thou"

Very much Of the hatreds and quarrel
someness of mature life is the ripened fruit
of juvenile passionateness grown by indul-
genoe into tyranical habit. Boys think it
manly to resent insults and injuries; they
deem it smart to act the braggart aud the
bully, with free play at 6sticuGs-to make
a great show of their boisterous courage and
pugnacious strength. If they go on thus
the likelihood is that they will never make
show Of much else.
