The Morning.

How tranquil is the air, and how
mild the temperature! 1t is morn
ing, and a morning sweet, and fresh,
and delightful. Everybody knows
the morning in its metaphorical
sense, applied to so many objects,
and on so many occasions. The
health, strength and beauty of early
years lead us to call that period the
" morning oflife." But the morning
itself, few people, inhabitants of
cities, know anything about it.
Their idea of it is, that it is that
part of the day that ushers in a cup
of coffee and piece of toast. With
them morning is not a new issue of
light, a new bursting forth of the
sun, new waking up of all that has
life from sort of temporary death
to behold again the works of the
Creator-the heavens and the earth;
1t is only part of the domestic day,
belonging to breakfast, to reading
the newspapers, sending the chill
dren to school and giving orders for
dinner. The first streak of light,
the earliest purpling Of the east
which the lark springs up to greet,
and the deep celOring into orange
and red, till at length the glorious
sun is seen, regent of day." this they
never enjoy, for they never see it.
Beautiful descriptions of the
morning abound in all languages, but
they are the strongest, perhaps, in
those of the East, where the sun is
often an object Of worship. King
David speaks of taking to himself
the 9 wings of the morning." This
is highly poetical and beautiful.
The wings of the morning are the
beams of the rising sun. Rays of
light are wings. 1t is thus said that
the Sun of righteousness shall arise
with healing in his wings ris-
ing sun which shall scatter life,
health and joy throughout the uni
verse. Milton has fine descriptions
of morning, but not so many as
Shakespeare, from whose writings
pages Of the most beautiful imagery,
all founded on the glory of the
morning, might be filled.
We love the morning, fresh and
sweet as it is daily new creation
breaking forth, and calling all that
have life, and breath, and being, to
new alteration, new enjoyments, and
new gratitude.-IRteTi07'.

"EIe Never AavsrtI.s..,,

There is a bright picture of the
man who does not advertise. He is
distinguished very easily by his
carewOrn and detected countenance.
He is graspiRg-holding fast to
what he has, and is afraid 10 Yen-
ture. He is generally selfish, and
looks upon all customers with dis
trust. The miserly eageFness with
which he clusters the pay for his
goods creates am antipathy for him
in the minds of his patrOns, and
they generally leave him. Ills store
is anything but inviting, rs the
goods are not displayed at all, and a
bleak appearance OF the walls is the
consequence. At night he lights
his store with the poorest quality
of candies, which shed a pale gliIn-
mer over goods, giving them an old
and dusty look. At his store you
will be certain to find mean whisky,
soft soap, damaged groceries and
dry goods-ali last years fashions,
etc. He seldom gives anything for
public improvements or charitable
purposes, and measures making gen
orally in his own half bushel. Such
a man never helps to build railroads,
steamboats,, telegraph lines, or any
thing of the kind. If the balance
of mankind were like him, stage
coaches would be the only public
conveyances. Where great cities
now stand, few double pen log
houses aud a bar-rOOm would be in
stead. Colleges and schools would
never have beeu thought of, and
blissful ignorance would now reign
supreme. He is never posted on the
topics of the day, nor is he inform
ed in regard to commercial affairs,
because he shuts himself Off from
that source of information by dis
cOuntenancing the press, the only
means through which il can be at
tanned. And when he dies, he is
not generally lamented.

Children are troublesome, at
times, in asking questions, and
should be taught not to interrupt
conversation in company. But, this
resolution being made, we, ques-
ton the policy of Withholding an
answer at any time from the active
mind which must find so many mys-
teries. They who have either
learned to solve these mysteries, or
have become indifferent as to an ex-
planatiOn, are not apt to look COM
passiOnately enough upon this eager
restlessness, on the part of children,
to penetrate causes and trace effects.
BY giving due attention to these
troublesome questions q child's
truest education may be carried on.
Have a little patience then and
sometimes think, how welcome to
you would be an interpreter, if you
were suddenly dropped into some
foreign country, where the language
was. for the most part unintelligible
TO you, and you were bursting with
curiosity about every strange object

The Accurate BOY.

There was young man once in
the Office of a Western railway su-
perintendent. lie was occupying a
position that four hundred boys in
that city would have wished TO get.
1t was honorable, and sit paid vel, ("
besides being in a line of promotion.
How did he get il ! Not by having
a rich father, for he was the son of a
laborer. The secret was his beauti-
full accuracy. He began as an errand
boy, and did his work accurately.
His leisure time he used in perfect
ing his writing and arithmetic. At
ter awhile he learned to telegraph.
At each step his employer commend
ed his accuracy, and relied on what
he did, because he was just right.
And it is thus with every eccUpa-
ton. The accurate boy is the favored
one. Those who employ men do not
wish TO be on the lookout, as though
they were rOgues or fools. IL car
penter must stand at his journey
mans elbow TO be sure that his work
is right; or If cashier must run
over his bookkeeper's column, he
might as well do the work himself
as employ another to do il in that
way; and it is very certain that the
employer viii get rid of such an in
accurate workman as soon as he can.

THE LAsTmILEsTONE.
BY "PEARL RIVERS"

Sixty years through shine and snow
Sixty years, my gentle wife,
You and have walked together,
Down the rugged road Of life.
From the hills of Spring we started,
And through all the Summer land,
And the fruitful Autumn country.
We have journeyed hand in hand.
We have borne the heat and burden,
TOiling painfully and slow;
We have gathered in our harvest,
With rejoicing, long ago.
Leave the uplauds for our children,
They are strong to SOW and reap,
Through the quiet Winter lowlands
OuI level way we keep.
'Tis dreaTy country, darling,
You and | are passing through;
But the road lies straight before Us,
And the miles are short and few;
No more dangers TO combat
No more hills TO climb, true friend,
Nothing now but simple walking,
Till we reach our journeys end.
We have had our time Of gladness;
Twas a proud and happy day,
Ahl the proudest OF our journey,
When we felt that we could say,
OF the children God had gwen,
Looking fondIy on the ten,
"Lovely women are our daughter
Our sons are noble men,"
We have had our time Of sOTrow-
Our time of anxious fears,
When we could not see the milestones
Through the blindness of our tears.
In the sunny Summer country,
Far behind us, little May
And Willie, too, grew weary,
And we left them on the way.
Are you looking backward, mother,
That you stumble in the snow!
am still your guide and staff, dear,
Lean your weight upon me, so.
Our road is growing narrow;
And, what is it, wife, you say!
Yes! know your eyes are dim, dear,
But we have not lost the way.
Cheer theel cheer thee! faithful-hearted!
just a little way before,
Lies the great Eternal City
OF the King that we adore.
i can see the shining spires:
And the King, the King, my dear,
We have served him long and humbly;
He will bless us, do not fear.
Ab! the snow fails fast and heavy;
How you shiver with the cold;
Let me wrap your mantle closer,
And my arm around you fold.
We are weak, and faint, and weary,
And the sun low in the west;
We have reached the gates my darling,
Let us tarry here and rest.

of her red, sodden eyes, from the

eesses OF her polluted breast, from
the lost, dead virtue of her sinful
bosom, from the farthest depths of
her broken heart, she pulled forth
