a Valuable Secret,

If the anecdote is old, the lesson
of life it bears can never grow old,
any more than can the divine les
sons of the Sermon on the Mount.
1t is related of Franklin that
from the window of his office in
Philadelphia he noticed mechanic,
among a number of others, at work
on house which was being erected
close by, who always appeared to be
I'M a merry humor, and who had a
kind and cheerful smile for every one
he met. Let the day be ever so cold,
gloomy, or sunless, the happy smile
danced like the sunbeam on his
cheerful couutenance. Meeting him
one day, Franklin requested to know
the secret of his constant happy
flow of spirits.
"Its no secret, Doctor" the man
replied. "Tve got one of the best of
wives, and when | go to work she al
ways gives me a kind word OF en-
couragement, and a blessing, with
her parting KISS; ana when go
home she is sure to meet me with a
smile and kiss of welcome; and
then tea is sure to be ready; and as
we chat in the evening, | find she
has been doing so many little things
through the day to please me, that
cannot find it in my heart to speak
an unkind word, or give an unkind
look, to anybody"
And Franklin adds
"What an influence, then hath wo
man over the heart of man, to softer
it, and make it the fountain of cheer
full and pure emotions. Speak gen
tly, then, a happy smile and kind
word of greeting after the tolls OF the
day are over, cost nothing, ana g
| far towards making a home napPy
and peaceful"

Correspondence.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-We give below
the resolutions passed ut the session
of the Methodist Episcopal Sabbath
School held last Sabbath morning.
1t is but slight expression of the
esteem in which Mrs. R. d. WILSON
is held ny the school, which embraces
over three hundred members. The
resolutions were adopted by rising
vote upon which we think every
member present voted.
Faithfulness and efficiency in Sab
bath School work is worthy OF CON-
mendation, and for this reason we Of
fer it, and hope 1t may prove an in
centive to others to be like faithful
and efficient:
WHEREAS; Sister WILSON, our
faithful and efficient co-laborer in
the Sabbath School will, this morn
ing, dissolve her connection with our
school, and soon remove from our
city; and because her work with us,
and for US, has been cheerful and
voluntary, and because she has been
SO willing to deny herself and make
the needful sacrifices to he always
prompt and prepared; and because
she has so patiently sown the good
seed, which by Gods blessing, hath
already begun to spring up in the
hearts of her pupils; and because her
cheerful presence, helpful counsel,
christian sympathy, faithful labors,
and prayers, have been only bless
ings, and that continually; there
fore we do
ResOlre, lSt. That we exceedingly
regret that our city must lose her rs
Il citizen, and that especially that our
Sabbath School must lose one of its
most efficient and faithful teachers.
I'd. That while we submit to the
will of Him who doeth all things
well, we are assured that Our, loss will
be gain to another field where labOrs
are needed for the whitening har-
vest.
3d. That in sundering this tie,
which is one of the tenderest and
dearest of earthly life, we bear it
with the confident faith that we shall
meet In that Land that is fairer than
day" "Where there will he no more
parting;" and where the wicked
cease to trouble, and the weary for
ever rest.
4th. That our wish to be kindly re-
membered and prayed for by her is
sincere, and we do hereby pledge our
selves thus to pray for her and ever
continue to cherish her with Il place
in the inner sanctuary of our hearts
loves.
9th. That we commend her to the
immediate confidence of christian
people every where, and implore upon
her the blessing of God, the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit.

DO L Know Myself.
CONTINUED. }


In presenting these brief sketches
on so vast a subject that would prop
erly take volumes to make plain in
particularizing, is to draw the mind
of the reader to think for himself on
a subject so vitality important to our
every day happiness, and yet so lit
tie known or Investigated by the peo-
Pile; it is too generally conceded that
it is enough for teachers and profes
siOnals to think and investigate, and
we as the people remain stOical in
the matter, and "tody" to their say
ings.
When we are brought to see and
realize, we know but little or com
paratively nothing of science or
subject. We are then only in frame
of mind to learn, or to be drawn to
wisely investigate more for ourselves.
We all mean to be wise on subjects
that tend to our every day interest
and happiness-but some know too
much already-tell them any thing,
and they will inform you that they
were well acquainted with it years
before; and are always ready to in
form you of wise things 81 hare
done as you should do" &c, when it
NAV be, the true essence OF supersti-
tion and ignorance.
Does it not then look reasonable
that if we knew ourselves we would
more strenuously avoid the calami-
ties that so frequently befall us, in
the way of pain and suffering, the
like features and conditions of which
are SO transmissible to our progeny.
The teeth are a "trinity' in their
formatiOn-the external hard enamel
being the chief protection and is un-
susceptible to decay, whilst the sec
ond stratum is an ivory bone-like de-
posit and readily decays when in con
tact with external air and moisture,
whilst the third stratum is cemen-
tum in connection with which we
may include the pulp, that embraces
what is commonly known as the nerve
of the tooth, wherein nerve ibers'
arteries and veins circulate to nour-
ish the organ so as to deposit the bone
element that should be taken ineo
our system in the food we eat-a ue-
ficiency of which, causes an lmper-
foot enamel or coating for the second
stratum of the teeth, and soon moist
nrs and air come in minute contact
with the ivory, and in due time visi-
HE decay is the result, warning us by
it's acute sensibility, and oftentimes,
even then too far gone to be saved
healthfully in the gum.
Another frequent production OF de-
cav of these organs, especially among
those who cannot attribute the dis
ease to liberalization or injndicious
diet is, earelessness on the part OF
the individual, either from ignorance
or laziness, in permitting the food
and its Juices to remain in the inter
stices of the teeth and around and
between them over night-they COM
placentIy smack their mouth over o
palatabIe repast and soon retire to
bed with the sweets, sours, hots and
colds impregnating every depression
there to form a perfect brewer,
Though small to the eye) every night

"He shall give His angels charge
Concerning thee TO bear thee up"
Ger thy life has sorrow shrouded
All the outlook dark for thee;
Fear thou not, are angels guarding,
Tho their forms we cannot see.
Thro' the ways thy feet must wander,
Over moss, or rugged stone,
Tho unseen the hand that leads thee,
Thou wilt never walk alone.
All the love that round thee circled
Lives, tho hid from mortal sight
And when falls the deepest darkness
Then shall break the promised light
His dear arm shall be about thee,
His sure feet shall walk beside,
Shouldst thy hand e'er doubtful falter
His clear influence then shall guide.
He has left thee footprints sacred,
And thy feet must tread the same,
Thou must hold as standard holy,
Thy dear Fathers honorel name.
But see within thy features
Living lines that truly tell.
Thou wilt wear his mantle nObly,
Thou wilt guard his honor well.
