Youth, Manhood, Age.

1t is the solemn thought con-
nected with middle life, that
life's last business is begun in
earnest, and it is then, midway
between the cradle and the
grave, that a man begins to
marvel that he let the days of
youth go by so half enjoyed.
It is the pensive Autumn feel
ing, it is the sensation of half
sadness that we experience
when the longest day Of the
year is passed, and every day
that follows is shorter, and the
light fainter, and the feebler
shadows tell that nature is has
tening with gigantic footsteps
to her Winter grave. So does
man look back upon his youth
When the first gray hairs be-
come visible, when the unwel'
come truth fastehs itself upon
the mind that a man is nc
longer going up hill, but down
and that the sun is always west
erning, he looks back on things
behind, Wien We were chill
dren we thought as children
But now there lies before Vi
manhood, with its earnest work
snd then old age, and then the
grave, and then home. There
is a second youth for man, bet
ter and holier than his first
if he will look on, and not
look back.

One morning, some two weeks IS
after the conversation held at
the bars Willie, MIR. Walk
er went out into the grove TO
pray and refresh himself with
a walk in the cool and pure
morning breeze. 1t was at this
time that the good man decided
that he would pay Mr.. and Mrs.
Lorenzo visit, and divulge his
mind and his plans, and by the
help of God, enforce his con-
victions about the lad. Mr.. w.
and all the village had noticed
the irregularity of Willie's at
tendance at school, and every
one knew that Mr.. L. was the
cause of all the trouble. In a
few hours after the morning
walk, we find Ed. Walker al
the residence of Mr.. Lorenzo.

plan 4 propose will help you
materially, and also enable you
to do great good in the world.
"What is it thenj' said Mr.
l., rather subduned. at
q am convinced" said the
Parson, "that Willie possesses
unusual sense, and a bent Of
mind tending toward useful
ness, and now, | want to help
yoat, help him, so that he may
be qualified for usefulness such
as will honor God, and man
kind"

"then she too feels a deep in
teFSst in behalf OF Zion?"
"Yes brother Walker I haal

"Well," said Mr.. L., "let us
have your plan Mr.. W."
Gas you do not feel disposed
to send the boy off to school.
put him through the school here
and then ] will agree to become
his tutor, and qualify him fol
the work of the ministry, both
classically and theologically.
and all the expense you need
have, will be in boarding and
clothing the boy, and he can dc
this studying at. home, and
come to me and recite, hence
you will have him with you
and at the same time he can
prepare his lessons"
These suggestions of Elder
Walker, suited Mr.. L. better
than any thing ever before pre-.
sented, and he told the Parson
so, and asked to think on the
subject a few days, and there
the conversation ended, and
Mr.. w. returned to his home
greatly encouraged. Mrs. i
was filled with gladness, and q
better spirit seemed to take
possession of Mr.. Lorenzo.
When Willie came in he saw
that a pleasant genius presided
and he was perplexed at the
kindness of his Uncle.

Tho Reality.

IarG Wniie' women pounce upon
each other like wolves, without,
pity OF quarter man laughs at
the sweakness," and CLOSES it
over with singing the praises
of gentle woman, the guardian
angel who leads his vision
heavenward
Never was a more meaning
less sentiment framedin words.
1t sounds well, and passes with
the unthinking. But reality
displays an utter want Of con-
fidence in woman on the part
of man.
True, if a woman is ignorant
and has proven herself incapa-
BILE of compfehending the good
and bad as it exists in the
tWOrid, she ID called an excel
lent woman, a'model wife; and
|
she shines in the lustre of mans
appreciation above suspicion.
But let a woman venture to
evince a clear insight into hui
man affairs, and a true knowl-
edge of men and women, and
many a coward who feels his
inferiority will cry out, "Look
out for her. She is a danger
GUS woman. She knows too
much"
This dread of women who
understand human nature is so
great with many men that they
seek their wives in the quiet
by-ways of the country, and
marry girls whose lives have
been as uneventful as the tiny
brooks that babble in the mead
ows, and who are as innocent
of any true knowledge of the
realities and conventionalities
of life as the little fish that
sports therein among the .peb-
bles andsin shady places. ''' '''"
This all comes Of distrusting
women. Men seldom think of
reasoning with themselves, say
ing, "This woman may have
erred, but have I not done the
same (? She is thus as good
as l."
A man believing a woman
because he holds her will, her
opinions, her brain capacity in
the palm of his hand, cannot
claim to have dignilied her with
his confidence.
So long as women distrust
and abuse each other, they do
not deserve, and will not re-
ceive the confidence of the OPP
pOsite sex.
Not until there is greater
height and depth of education
and requirement Of woman,
which will bring her better ma
ture into activity, will she out
grow the narrow envies and
suspicions-which make pam
demonium in every heart where
they dwell-will woman be-
lieve in and make allowance
for the failings of her sister.
Then, and not till then, will
men learn to respect and have
confidence in woman. - Elm

going with that COW p
Thus cried out Sam Murry
as Willie drove a nice COW along
the street.
81 am driving this COW over
to the Parson. My Aunt has
decided to allow the Parsons
wife and family the use of this
COW for a number Of months" "
answered Willie.
When Willie had reached
the Parsons pasture, who
should he meet but the preach
er in person. The good boy
promptly delivered his message
in a polite and gentlemanly
manner, and was just on the
eve of leaving when the minis
ter actosted him thus:
willie, | have often noticed
your 'thoroughness and persis-
tent endeavors toward useful
ness, and wondered why it was
that you did not Immediately
devote your mind to the study
of some profession ?"
cit is my wish, Mr.. Walker" 4"
said Willie +; ''but | am only a
poor orphan boy, and must do
the best | can"
"What profession would you
prefer, my little friend ?" re-
joined the Parson.
"Of all things in the world,
I'd rather be a minister" said
Willie.
The good preacher saw that
the whole bent of the boys
mind tended toward that of all
others the most august and sa-
cred profession, namely, the
ministry.
In a few minutes the boy had
departed, and the man of God
wended his way to his study,
all the while thinking about the
rosy-faced little boy with whom
he had just held the above con-
versation.
A true Gospel preacher feels
a strange and potent realiza-
ton, when he has it forced upon
his mind, that God designs a
certain being as "a chosen ves-
sell" How that good man pray
ed and planned for the future
of Willie. He knew that Mr..
Lorenzo, the uncle of the boy,
had the means to help his ne
phew if he would, but there was
the difficulty. Mr.. L. was "a
cold, selfish, stingy man, If
the Lord would convert Mr.. L.
over again, all might work we'll,
but the trouble arising here
was: Mr.. L. considered himself
a oery pious man, and boasted
in his frmness and perfection
of Judgment. To demonstrate
with MIR. L., would bring down
his sarcastic rebuff and cruel
retort, for he allowed no one to
dictate to him, especially min
listers or school l-teachers, for he
knew as much and a great deal
more than they did, when it
came to things of everyday
life, outside of books,eto With
such a man as this to deal with,
and the fear Of being oflioious,
Mr.. Walker felt it to be his
duty to pray over the matter
for d few days.
How rarely do ministers take
so much and such deep inter-
est il in the welfare Of, others,
even today, of earnest prayer,
yet such was THE case with
