startling Truth.

The New York TTibuRe shows
how the sins of the fathers are Wis
tied upon their children, in the fol-
lowing:
"The punishment of vice and in
temperance does not end with the
vicious and Incorporate, but the
great human family is SO consti-
tuted that one member cannot sin
without pulling down others. Thus,
IN appalling degree, are parents an
sWerable for the weakness and vices
of their children.
a man drinks moderately and
steadily all his life, with no appa-
rent harm to himself, but his daugh-
ters become nervous wrecks, his
SONS epileptic, libertiness, or incur
able drunkards, the hereditary ten
dency 10 crime having its pathology
and UNMARRIED laws of scrofula, con-
sumption, or any other purely phys
ical disease. These are stale truths
with medical men; but the majority
of parents, even those of average
intelligence and culture, are appa-
rently either ignorant or wickedly
regardless of them. When our peo-
pie are brought to remove gin shops
and gin sellers for the same reason
that they would stagnant ponds OF
unclean sewers, there will be 8
chance of Kidding our jails and alm:

how can we be silent so long as

TaIk and Talkers.

Talk is the music of life. The
ability to talk is one the most pleas
ing and useful Of any we possess.
The power to weave our thoughts
into webs, TO spin and wind them
into skeins, to do them up in all
sorts of ways to suit all sorts of cir
cumstances, to answer all sorts OF
cnds-is at once astonishing and
agreeable. Man alone talks. Ii is
his most distinguishing characters
tic. Animals seem TO understand
each other, but they do not talk.
Expression is not talking though the
Chinese say OF an expressive face,
cit talks
The ability to talk is susceptible
of cultivation. 1t may be trained
till talking shall become a most am
liable accomplishments; till il shall
adorn ones character, beautify ones
life, and hallOw ones inter-
course with his fellow beings.
Common, rough, helter-skelter con-
Yersation will not cultivate it.
Thoughtless talk, rude chit-chat,
hasty and careless Interchange of
ideas, will not cultivate il. 1t can
only be done by care-taking cOnver-
sation, with n chaste and thought
ful use of appropriate language. ex-
pressive of pure thoughts. When
takers talk TO a good purpose, seek
ing to be agreeable and TO express
well their ideas, they cultivate their
ability to talk. The best takers
have been the delight of their age
and always will be. There is a real
charm in talk. People always love
TO gather round a good talker.
Good talk does not consist altogeth-
er in the expression of good ideas,
though this is one essential. 1t is
good ideas, chastely and agreeably
expressed. Good talk in common
conversation is what oratOry is in
public speaking. 1t is not preten-
sion, not swellings words, not POM
pous display-but an easy, graceful
and earnest manner of saying what
one wishes to say. Talking much is
not always talking well. Indeed,
| great takers are often bad takers.
They overWhelm with a torrent OF
words, often not well chosen, and
oftener still, not chosen at all, but
caught up at random. Great takers
are often great bOres, which sensi-
BILE people shun as they would the
| noise of n nail factory. They often
talk right on, without thought,
without variation, without care in
the choice of words, pell-mell over
rules, taste, politeness and respect,
and haul up only now and then tC
take breath, as though cars were
made of sole leather and souls o.
solid oak. Some great takers tall

talk, but TO have q hurricane Of
words hurled at one at random, il
too much. Give me time to taxi
breath in listening. Let me enjoy
the pleasure Of an occasional rest il
the flow of sound. Not TO talk Al
all is a fault, but to talk everybody
to death is outrageous.

Thomas JcIIesson on ola Age.


In his letter TO John Adams. JEFF
ferson said: "Our next meeting
must then be in the country to
which they have flOwn-a country
for us not very far distant. For
this journey we shall need neither
gold nor silver in our purse, nor
coats, nor scrips, nor slaves. Nor
is the provision for il more easy
than the preparation has been kind.
Nothing proves, more than this,
that the Being who presides over
the world is especially benevolent
stealing from US one by one the fac
ulties, leading US like the horse in
his mill, round and round the same
beating circle,
To see what have secu.
To taste the tasted. and at each return
Less tasteful; DER our paiates 70 deScsut

until satiated and fatigued with
this leaden iteration, we make our
congo.
| heard once a very old friend,
who had troubled himself with
neither poets nor philosophers. say
the same thing in prose, that he was
tired Of pulling OF his shoes and
stockings at night and putting them
Oh again in the morning. The wish
to stay here is gradually extinguish-
ed, but not so easy as that of re-
turning once in a while TO see how
things have gone on. Perhaps,
however, one of the elements of fu-
ture felicity is to be a constant and
unimpassiOned view Of what is the
wish OF occasional visits. Mercier
has given US a vision OF the ycar
24i0, but prophecy is one thing and
history is another. On the whole,
however, ii is wise and wei! to be
eontented with the good things the
Master of the feast places before us,
and be thankful for what we have
rather than thoughtful for what we
have not.

How Long and How Many.

How long do YOU think it took to
write the Bible? Fifteen hundred
years. From Moses, who wrote
Genesis, to ST. John, who wrote
Revelation, il was that long, long
lime.
How many people helped TO write
it2 More than thirty. There were
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul
and Peter. There were Moses and
Ezra, and David and Daniel, and
Samuel. Some were shepherds,
some farmers, some fishermen, some
tent makers, some kings, some
judges, some princes; some were
learned, some were unlearned; and
vet they all agree in what they write.
There is not so much as a word OF
disagreement in the whole book.
How could that be? Because God
did all the thinking in the Bible.
The thoughts in the Bible are all
Gods thoughts. Those thirty men
only did the writing. They wrote
only what God told them. How
many different sections or books
are there in the Bible Sixty-six,
all bound together, making one
beautiful whole. 1t is a blessed
book. Prize it above all the books
in the wide, wide world. Make il
the man of your counsel aud the
guide of your life. Your life can
never be a failure il you follow its
instructions.
