"I'm Too Busy"

A merchant sat at his Office desk.
Various letters were spread out before
him. His whole being was absorbed in
the intricacies of his business.
A jealous friend of religion entered the
office.
II want to interest you a little in a
new effort for the cause of Christ" said
the good man.
'.Sir, you must excuse me-" said the
merchant ''I'm too busy to attend to
that subject now."
"When shall I call again, sirY'
II cannot tell. I'm busy every day.
Excuse me, sir; I wish you good morn
ing"
The merchant frequently repulsed the
friends of humanity in this manner.
One morning disagreeable stranger
stepped very softly to his side, laying a
cold, moist hand upon his brow, and say
ing
.Go home with me %
The merchant laid down his pen; his
head grew dizzy; his stomach felt faint
and sick he left the counting room, went
home, and retired to his bed-Chamber.
His unwelcomc visitor had followed
him, and now took his place by the bed
side, whispering, ever and anon.'
"You must go with me" ;"
A cold chill settled on the merchants
heart; spectres of ships, notes, houses,
and lands fitted before his excited mind.
Still bis rra,se beat slower, his heart heayed
heavily, thick films gathered over his
eyes, his tongue refused to speak. Then
the merchant knew that the name of his

How CHILDREN SUFFER FROM FEAR.
No pain is more dreadful to endure
than fear. Few parents realize how much
their children suffer from this cause.
There is nothing to hurt you," is an as
surance which does not allay the apprehen-
sion. An underlined something existing
often only in the imagination, is the occa-
sion of just as real suffering as most tam
gible evil could be. This suffering from
fear has much to do with the almost uni-
versal dislike which children have of
going to. bed. They are left alone in
some chamber away from the family-a
wise arrangement 50 far es quietness is
concerned, and judicious entirely if the
child exhibits no fear. But only those
who remember what horrors possessed the
imagination when they, as children, were
left alone IN the dark, can fully realize
the suffering of nervous child. Il don't
mind you whipping me, father" said a
little fellow who had been repeatedly pun
ished for crying when put to bed alone,

Masonic Literature.

A writer in our Masonic periodicals
discourses thus eloquently on the science
and literature of the Order:
Masonry has a literature that has come
down to US along the ages, gathering to
itself, century by century. and year by
year, still rarer gems of thought and
science and knowledge, until to-day. in
this advanced age of progression and
learning, we can point to the literature of
Masonry as not whit behind the progress
sive wisdom of the nineteenth century.
Were Masonry simple charitable society,
whose only attractions consist 10 well con-
fered degrees is it to be supposed for an
instant that this, alone would have pre-
sertsd attraction sufficient to bind to the
order the wise and learned men of the
whole world and of every age? No!
We're this all there were of Masonry it
never could have withstood the ruthless
current of time that has swept into OBJ
liyion systems. dynastics, and institutions
some OF them as ancient as herself. 1t is
because possessed of other virtues that it
has come down to US hoary with age, in
imperishable strength and silent grandeur,
like the adamantine foundation of earth
itself. And this attractive virtue is to be
found in its literature The wise who
have sought its shrine and penetrated its
arcana,5 have been surprised at It's full
ness. the depth. the beauty of its science.
The moral and religious have fingered
with pleasurable emotions over the wealth
of virtuous precepts and examples there
taught. The philanthropist receives
therefrom a stimulant to greater exer-
tions for the amelioration of mankind.
The scientific. antiquarian, and sage who
enter the Temple Of Masonic Literature,
find there rare, an exhaustable, intellec-
tual feast To those, then, who have
heretofore considered the acme ofMasonry
to consist in its charities and the polished
workings of its degrees. we recommend
that their attention be turned to its liter
ature, as the substance of Masonry. while
the workings of the Lodge are but its
forms. Read, and study it, then-it will
ennoble and polish the man, and fit
the mind as living stone for a place in
the great Temple of Souls.
..Litcr4turr-serenr philosophy
Ediisiye source of evidence and truth
Without thee what were uninlig ightened man

Rough clad void OF every liner art

USEFUL TRUTHs,-Deserve friends
and you will have them. The world is
-teemipg with kind hearted people, and
you have only to carry kiud, sympathetic
heart in your own bosom to call out good
ness and friendliness from others.
1t is mistake to expect to receive wei
come. hospitality, words of cheer and help
over rugged and difficult passes in life, IN
return for cold selfshness, which cares for
nothing in the world but self.
Cultivate consideration for the feelings
of other people if you never have your
own injured. Those who complain of the
most ill-use are the ones who abuse them
selves and others the oftenest.

Modesty.

Modesty is bright jewel in the char
acter Of. woman. 1t imparts a, loyelinesi
to every accomplishment which we vainly
look for in its absence, and brightens all
the virtues which it accompanies. like the
shades in painting, it raises and rounds
every figure, and makes the colors more
beautiful. -. ,.......
Modesty is not only an ornament to the
female character, but its surest safeguard.
Danish modesty from the world, and she
carries with her one-half the virtue there
ia in it. and I would add, Danish modesty
from the characteristics of woman and
you destroy one of the highest attractions
she possesses. 1t is quality which en-
cages and captivates the minds of the peo-
pie, let her worldly possessions be great
or small, let her occupations be what they
may whilst, on the other hand, the per-
son who is bold, coarse, vociferous, let hei
possession be ever SO great, and her style
of living and dress ever SO fashionable,
will always be looked upon as a vulgar
woman. Modesty atones for the absence
of many other accomplishments.
The young lady who is .unskilled in

is still attractive when modesty character
zes her demeanor. Accomplishments of
the age, without modesty are lepulsive
and disgusting. 1t is mistaken idea for
woman to imagine her influence to de-
pend upon her personal attractions. Beau

tracts, but it does not hold. 1t must be
answered by some inward beauty. or it
soon disappoints, We often see young

pleasant to look upon, while beneath is
is working the most hideous passions, and
the most wicked purposes. 1t is just as
true, that the plain. homely face often ac-

spirit. There must be more than personal
beauty in woman, to make her,-for any
length of time-pleasant in our eyes and

THE WINTER OF THE UEAET-Let

the good angel will protect you from that
terrible eyil-thc winter of the heart.
Let no chilling influence freeze the foun-

blasted hopes, like snow ON ~iliered

ness moan and sliriek through its dcsolate
chambers.
Your pathway may lead you among
trials which for u time, seemed utterly to
impede your progress, and shut out the
very light of heaven from your anxious
gaze. Poverty may take the place OF ease
and plenty; your luxurious homc may be
exchanged for single lowly room-the
soft couch for the pallet of straw-rich
viands for the coarse fcod of the poor.
Summer friends may forsake you, with
scarcely passing word or look of compass
sion. You may be forced to tell wearily,
steadily on, to earn livelihood you may
encounter fraud and the base avarice
which would extort the last fartling, till
u we'll nigh turn in disgust from your
fellow beings.
Death may sever the dear ties that bind
you to earth, and leave you in fearfal
darkness, That noble, manly boy, the
sole hope of your declining years. may be
taken from you while your spirit clings tc

shadows of the tomb cannot wholly subdue
But still look upward-put faith in proyl.

A Girl without a Mother.


One of the saddest sights to me is tha
of young girl drifting on the wide SCI
of life without mother There is som,
thing wanted in her life; something tha
was a part Of her daily being is lost, and
leaves avoid, a sense of incompleteDes
that is seldom filed. She is at the mercy
of the world, with no sure refuge to turr
to, no hand to guide and control he
wavering steps, no bulwark against the
shafts of temptation and malice.
Some natures doubtless feel the lone
illness of such position far less keenly
than Others; and circumstances of course
may rob the bereavement of much of it:
bitterness. But the gensitive, affection
ate child, who has once lived in the lighi
of a mothers holiest love, must ever fnd
life's pathway darker without it: and
believe me, however gay or frivolous she
may appear to you, there are hours when
the lonely heart inourns in secret over g
grife which you cannot comprehend.
In that hour so long ago. yet fresh as
yesterday in my memory-when they told
nue. my mother was dead, 1 felt that grie
was my own-a grief that could moi
carry to any bosom on earth, since
strange lesson for childhood's to learn
hers had grown cold to her child. And
never shall forget the sense of bcreaYe-
ment, the feeling of desolation. that
seemed to drive my frightened soul into
itself, as sat with my brother on the
steps of our home, and saw them hollow
ing out the deep. damp grave on the hill
where we had SO often gathered wild
flowers to lay on her pillow. We were
mothcrless. 1t was left to later years oi
sorrow and waywardness to teach US the
bitterest import of the word but we felt
then its weight, crushing our young heart
with their first great grief.

the loneliness and insolatian of the years
that followed But L feel sure that
many an orphan girl can understand

Early womanhood, bringing its fresh
sweet impulses, it's pure friendships and
and trusting condolences, changes and
brightens the whole existence of the or
phan girl as well as of others. And then
when it is felt the least, perhaps, is the
most perilous season of motherless girl
hood. Happy for her, if she escape the
faint of the worlds poison-if she walk
unharmed amid the snares in her path
way. with no mothers eye, to watch, nc
mothers hand to guide and guard. But
if she fall, what woman's eye looks pity
and compassion on her? The sIinted
mother in heaven, for aught we know
weeps tears. of forgiving tenderness ovel
her erring darling; but on earth she finds
no mercy.
oh be kind to the mothorless girl
even though she be hayward and thought

God to spare you to them! Though the
