the introduction OF a farclcal sketok entitled
"Tooc In the Pisskin." In which the broad humor

Opposite me stood the piano we had been

Tests OF Character.

A great many admirable acts are over
looked by US, because they are 50 little aud
common. Take for instance. the mother,
who has had broken slumbcr II any at all,
with the nursing babe, whose wants must
not be disregarded; she would fain sleep
while when the breakfast hour comes, but
patiently and uucomplainingly she takes her
timely seat at the table Though exhausted
and weary she serves all with a refreshing
cup of tea or coffee before she sips it herself,
and often the cup is handed back to her to
be re-filled before she has had time to take
her own.
DO you hear her complain-the weary
mother-that her breakfast is cold before
she has had time to eat Aud this not for
one but every morning. perhaps, in the year.
Do YOU call this small thing? Try it and
see. o, how does woman shame us by her
forbearance aud fortitude in what are called
little things All it is these little things
which are tests Of character; it is by these
little self-denials, borne with such a self-for-
gotten gentleness, that the humblest home is
made beautiful 10 the eyes OF angels, though
we fail to see it, alas until the chair is va
cant, aud the hand which kept in motion all
this domestic machinery is powefless and
cold

The Foolish Friend.

In the depths of the forest there lived two
foxes who never had a cross word with each
other. One of them said one day, in the po-
lite fox language
Lets quarrel"
Every well,' said the other, "as you
please, dear friend. But how shall we set
about it 2"
"Oh, it cannot be difficult" said fox num-
Der one ; " twolegged people fall ont, why
should not we ?"
So they tried all sorts OF ways but could
not succeed, because each one would give
way. At last, number one fetched two
stones
"There," said he, " you say they're yours,
III say they're mine, and we will quarrel,
and fight, and scratch. Now III begin.
These stones are mine 2"
Very WE'LL" answered the other, gently,
"you are welcome to them"
Z" But we shall never quarrel at this rate ="
answered the other, jumping up and licking
his face.
" You old simpleton, don't you know that
it takes two to make quarrel any day :"
So they gave 1t up as bad job, and never
tried to play at this silly game again. Of
ten think of this fable when feel more in
clined To be sulky than sweet.

HAPPY HoMEs.-We pity the man, how
ever prosperous his pecuniary condition, or
however great his fame, who has not a
happy home. A happy home is the heaven
of this life. Yet many of our most distn-
guished men have not been fortunate in this
respect. They have been made to feel how
unsatisfactory was the worlds applause or
the possession Of official power, while all was
cold and heartless or unsympathizing in
their private homes And these unhappy
matches have not always, or generally, been
made from motives Of ambition. They have
seemingly been the misfortune of chance.
But what a terrible misfortune All the
distinctions in the world afford no compen-
sation for such deprivation. There is
something inexplicable about many unhappy
matches. A young couple marry from ac-
tual preference for each other, and from no
motive but sincere affection but want Of
congeniality is subsequently developed, and
wretched home for life is the result.
Blessed, indeed, and most highly favored,
are they whose homes, from the beginning
TO the end, are always happy.

Homel how sweet the word How full
Of thought that the heart loves How deeply

ations with the finest tendrils Of our natures,

No language is too chaste, no influence too
pure, to pervade its portals From here go
out impressions aud thoughts which will
echo and re-echo in our hearts in after life.
A thought nourished in the breast Of youth

bring forth. Many times within the last
few centuries has single thought, CLEANED
from some hour Of childhood, been nourished
but to burst forth to astonish the world. A
good thought noble impression-may do
more than Attalic wealth for the good Of
mankind while bad impression may work

attendant results. Important, then, are the
home infuences-a father and mothers teach
ings. Do they properly consider its power :?
You may talk TO manhood in its vigcr, and
the world will roll its wheel Of business,
pleasure and sin between you and the hearts
you would reach. The affections of youth
burst forth long before their reasoning facul-
ties are matured. They are ready and eager
TO be impressed with every thought. Their
trust and faith in their parents seek cor
responding confidence in them, II parents
are regardless Of their affections (as too
often they are), they must expect children
will seek other hearts, genial with their own
Home becomes less attractive and sinful as
sociates more enticing. Parents, be assured
that the characters formed in youth will be
the standard OF the character in after life :
that the language used in the home circle
will give tone to the language which your
children will use, in the society in which they
may chance to meet, but to tell a true tale OF
your home language and influence.

"BIessIngs on the Boys.v


Blessings ON the boys. Not the young,
healthy, rosy checked, male savages Of thir-
teen or sixteen years. They cannot help be-
ing boys, and deserve no special credit or
condemnation for it. But blessings on those
hale old boys of forty or forty-fve, or even
sixty years, who bend their broad shoulders
to the burdens of life but who do not let
those burdens crush their hearts; whose
eyes are quick to catch the light of merri-
ment over a droll story. and quicker TO fill
with tears Of sympathy for a friends dis
tress who retain boyish love and rever-
ence for all that is womanly; whose boyish
confidence in humanity. as a whole, though
often shocked, never dies who watch ca
gerly for the bright spots Of sunshine on
life's carpet, and set themselves where it falls
brightest and warmest. They rarely grow
very rich, for their boyish generosity is too
careless for that; they may not command
the awe of admiring crowds they are not
always systematic enough to be safely
trusted with important office; but the MIN
BILE feet of childhood springs to them, man
hood trustingly extends to them wide
open-hand, women greet them with a confd-
ing smile, and all through life they live and
receive great treasures Of pure love. God
himself is very tender to these boys.

A SUNNY TEMPER.-What a blessing to a

ligious things. But no candid man ever
found himself so beset by unbelief that he

next step he is to take Or il he lifts his
foot in uncertainty, but in faith, he may be
sure that he will see where to put it down.

differ, even at their beginning. If your ex-

nothing against it. You differ. "Ye are

rain produce wheat and corn, and roses and
apples, and hundred other varieties Of veg

other than ourselves. We reach perfection
not by copying, much less by aiming at
originality but by consistently and steadily
working out the life which is common TO us
