fact shat the Republicans stayed away

Religion in Daily Life.

The great duties of life, as they arc ordn-
arily distributed, both in the household and
out Of it, are indispensable to the develop
ment Of the whole nature of man, and Of
the prime virtues; and they are the instru-
ments, or, to employ the language Of olden
times, the means of grace" in life. The
church, the lecture-room, the prayer and
conference meeting, the communion Of saints,
were once spoken of as "a means Of grace. "
They are means of grace when they pro-
duce grace; but it would seem, in the very
use Of them, as if they meant to exclude
common life, common duties, common occu-
pations whereas, in the divine economy,
everything that pertains to the well-being
of the individual, and the prosperity Of the
household, and the welfare Of the com.
munity in which men live, tends 10 the
amassing of force which results in civiliza-
tion, Everything, which occupies thought
and ripens into enterprise, and ripens enter.
prise into success and fruitful achievement,
is part and parcel Of the divine scheme.
Therefore, the man who bends over his
bench may be as really worshiping God
fulfilling the will Of God, and doing Gods
service, as he who bends over the altar.
He who stands at the blacksmith's forge
may be as really rendering God service as
he who reads from the Psalms or Gospels,
He who is rightly performing the duties Of
life is worshiping, if worship means render.
ing acceptable service to God.

An apothecary had tame squirrel
The little fellow was allowed plenty Of lib.
erty, for the door of his cage was frequently
left open, and he used to climb up doors
and windows, and spring thence upon his
masters hand. He made many friends
with all his masters acquaintances, but il
any one teased him he could show that be
knew how to bite. As the winter came on,
he was in the habit Of building himself a
nest Of any tow he might fud about, and
chose for his residence the pocket of his
masters coat. When, on the evening, the
coat was taken of and hung upon a nail
the squirrel would climb up the door on
which the nail stood, run down the coat,
and take up bis quarters in the pocket, car
rying always in his mouth good supply oi
the tow, which he had prepared and rolled
together beforehand, and with which he
contrived to make in the pocket the cosiest
nights lodging in the world.
A housebreaker, watching his oppor.
tunity, selected dark night for getting in
through the window, with no good end in
view He knew that the apothecary kept
no dog, aud he could easily guess where hi.
coat was. He soon found the pocket, and
was about to tighten it of purse and keys
when misfortune totally unexpected belell
him, In rummaging he struck the sleep
ing squirrel, Of whose habits he was moi
aware. Not liking to be thus suddenly
awakened, the little animal gave the thieI
so sharp a bite on his thumb that he could
not forbear yelling with pain, and the mas,
ter of the house, alarmed at the unusual
sound came into the room The watchman
happening to pass, the unwelcomo guest was
given into custody; aud as the geese at Rome
saved the capital by their cackling, so the
little squirrel saved the masters property
by lodging in his coat pocket.

4 Parab lie.


Secluded among the groves a child wan.
dorcd whithersoever he would. lie be.
lieyed himself alone, and wist not that one
watched him from the thicket, and that the
eye Of his parent was on him continually (;
neither did he mark whose hand had opened
a way for him thus far. All things that he
saw were new to him, therefore he feared
nothing.
When he nestled among the flowers a ser.
pent rose from the midst Of them, and when
the child saw how its FURNISHED coat gilt.
tered in the sun, ike the rainbow, he
stretched forth his haud to take IL to his
bosom.
Then the voice Of his parent cried from
the thicket Beware" "
Aud the childsprang up, and gazed above
and around to know whence the voice came
but when he saw naught he presently re-
membered it no more.
He watched how butterfly burst from
its shell, and fitted faster than he could
pursue, and soon rose far above his reach.
When he gazed, and could trace its flight
no more, his father put forth his hand and
pointed where the butterfly ascended, even
into the clouds.
But the child saw not the sign.
a fountain gushed forth amidst the shad-
ows Of the trees. and its waters flowed into
n deep and quiet pool.
The child knelt on the brink, and, look.
ing in, saw his own bright face 1t smiled
upon him.
As he stopped yet nearer to meet it,
voice once more said, " Beware 90
The child started back but he saw that
gust Of wind rufFled the waters, aud he
said to himself L" 1t was but the voice Of
the breeze
And when the broken sunboams glanced
on the moving waves, he laughed, and dip.
ped his foot that the waters might again be
ruffled, and the coolnosss was pleasant to
him.
The voice was now louder, but he re-
garded it not, as the winds bore it away.
At length he saw something glittering iu
the depths Of the pool, and he plunged in
to reach IT,
As he sank, he cried aloud for help.
Ere the waters had closed over him, his
fathers hand was stretched out TO save him
And while he yet sbiyered with chilliness
and fear, his parent said unto him
mine eye was upon thee, and thou didst
not heed; neither hast thou beheld my sign,
nor hearkened to my voice. If thou hadst
thought on me- had not been hidden"
Then the child cast himself on his fathers
bosom and said
BE nigh unto me still, and mine eyes
shall wait on thee, and mine ears shall be
open unto thy voice, foreyermore.'

Broken Promises.

Reader, never break your promises !
And to this end, never make promise that
you are not sure you can fulfill. You may
think it a trifling matter to make an ap-
pontment with friend or agree to do a
certain thing, and then fail to come to
time;" but it is assuredly not small af-
fair. If you get in the habit Of neglectng
to make good your promises, how long, do
you think, will your friends and acquaint-
ances retain confidence in you2 The near
est aud dearest of them will in time learn
to doubt you, and will put but little faith
in your words. And there is way Of half
meeting ones obligations, which might be
called bending" promise, which is also
very bad practice, and should be carefully
avoided. For instance, you agree to meet
person at a certain time but, instead of
being punctual, you "put in an appearance"
several minutes, perhaps an hour, after
time; or you promise to do something for
friend, and only partially perform the
duty. You may not have exactly broken
your promise, but you have certainly bent
it, which is almost if not quite, as bad,
Keep your promises to the letter, be prompt
and exact, and twill save you much trouble
and care through life, aud win for you the
respect and trust Of your friends.

Girls, Hear This.

Girls do not always know their power.
1t is far greater than they think; and,
were they true and brave enough to exert
it, they might almost, in generation, revo-
utionize society about them. Exert your
power for good upon the young men who
are privileged to enjoy your society. Gentle
and good, be also brave and true. Try to
exhibit the ideal Of a woman---a pure and
good woman-whose life is mighty as well
as beautiful in its maidenly dignity and at
tractive loveliness. Do not let it even
seem that dress aud friyoity constitute
your only thoughts; but let the elevation
of your character and the usefulness of
your life lift up the man that walks by your
side. Some of you are in intimate associa-
tions, which under exchanged promises, look
forward to a nearer and more enduring re-
lation. In these hours do nothing to lower,
but everything to refine and ennoble each
others character.
